Caleb is now 6 weeks old, 5.5kg and 58cm tall ...
Yesterday, we brought him for his 2nd hep B jab ... the doc first held on to his two little hands and he asked mama to hold on to him ... then he asked daddy to sing a song to distract baby caleb ... all these happened so fast and unsuspectingly, baby caleb was looking around, wondering why there are so many people hovering around him - 4 (doc, nurse, papa n mama) ... before he knew it, the jab was given to him on his right thigh ... he let out a loud cry ... wahhhh.... hmm, i got to carry him and pacify him ... thankfully, he still had some unfinished milk ... so that was used to comfort him ... ")
as he is still a bit yellow, doc suggested doing blood test to see if his liver is functioning properly ... as he mentioned that jaundice would usually clear up by the 4th week ... so after paying for the consultation etc, we proceeded to level 4 for his blood test ...
this time, the lady did not take 5 drops of blood but the took a little test tube of blood ... poor caleb was wailing his guts out each time she squeeze blood out from the back of this little right foot ... this time round, papa had stand by pacifier to console him ... he was wailing so loudly in the room that i think all the people outside could hear him ") ... thankfully, the pacificer managed to soothe him ... i put him back to his sarong sling and we proceed to visit doc. paul for my follow up ...
visit to the doc ...
