Baby Joash – Week 1

I can’t believe 1 week pass by so quickly!! Joash is 1 week old already!! Aaahhhh….

It was like yesterday when i admitted into Mt A to have my C-sec done… Took a plenty of photos while waiting for the time to come… Our deluxe single room… NICE!!

changed into my gown… and the ridiculous shower cap… Kelvin had to wear it too as he is going into the operating theater with me..    

And within 10mins, the baby is out.. i shall not post the “bloody” photos.. Here’s a cleaned up one of Joash!!

 

with his excited daddy! Actually the whole process took less than 45mins and i din feel any pain throughout as i was under epidural.. just a bit of tugging and pressure when they were pushing the baby out of my tummy.. oh ya, i vomitted after the baby was delivered.. the doc explained that it was a side effect of the epidural…

after the op, i could not move my legs for a few hours… except for shivers and itchiness, i felt rather fresh! so we welcomed our first visitors!! my family!!

fresh blooms from Kel’s family

and a lovely balloon from my sistas to brighten up the room!

A proper pic with PAPA..

My spiritual parents; Ps. Zhuang & Ps. Audrey came to visit once baby was born too!!MAny thanks to the friends who came over to visit! And they really brought many gifts… Jane helped by taking photos of all of them!

I got so many packs of chicken/fish essence that i can open a shop!

 Thank you friends for your generosity! Also, i can’t possibly take photos of the ang paos we received! Thank you for your love for baby Guo!

The 4 days spent in the hospital was spent majority in bed as i cannot exert stress on my wound.. the nurses at Mt A were very helpful and caring.. They cleaned me up and were very prompt delivering the food, medicine and responding to our requests… other than recuperating, Kel & I spent time taking photos of baby and entertaining visitors with our boring birth story..

A pic of him fussing… i choose to see it as he’s smiling…

sleeping soundly after feed…

and 1 of him with both eyes open!

I was rather sad on Thurs as baby couldn’t go home with us due to jaundice.. i think i cried when i went home.. anyway.. all’s good when we went to fetch him back home on Friday..

home life is pretty different now that we have a baby… but no fear when u have a confinement lady staying with you.. Auntie helped with household chores, changing diapers and cooking.. she also helped to feed baby in the night so that i can properly sleep.. how wonderful.. BTW, confinement food ROCKS!!

Fried Mee Ta Bak for breakfast!

variety of vegs, pork, soup for every lunch/dinner…

and the rocker dish = ZHU JIAO CHU!

we had to bring Jo back to see the PD today.. so Mummy decided that it’s time to wear his most ex piece of clothing.. which can only last a few more weeks..

                      TADA!

And he sat on his new toy! it has winnie the pooh toys too (doubt he can see it though, but mummy is happy)

Happy boy! and a happier mummy! =)
