Welcoming Phoebe

Time flies ... and I am super busy.

Phoebe Casilda Kwee joined us on 7 Jan 2010, weighing 3.1kg at 1 plus pm.

This time round, Mummy decides to take things easier.

What I did:

1. More relaxed. While waiting to be cut opened, I was still 'facebooking', telling friends my status. LOL.

2. After I woke up from my sleep, I only asked - where is Mei Mei, saw a pic of her and went back to sleep.

3. When nurses asked if I want to latch her on on Day 1, I said no, probably tomorrow and went back to sleep. *Yea - that is the effect of the drug - drifting in and out of sleep.

4. We left her with the nurses most of the time and did not insist that she roomed in with us.

5. Enjoyed the food that the hospital served. Yes, my appitete was better second time round.

6. Played bejeweled or surfed on my iphone.

7. Stayed in a two bedder. Hubby wanted a single bed-room but no room was available. Might as well - there is someone to talk to. It isn't so bad and it is cheaper.

During the hospital stay, I realised that my gynae is not so bad. At least he bothers to ask / shows concern about my well-being. And his stitching skills is great. I managed to get rid of the previous ugly c-sec scar and it is not replaced with one that is beautifully sewn. ha ha ha . Maybe he is always cutting people up and thus, the good sewing skill. ;)

During my stay at the hospital, I had two room-mates. The first one - her gynae seems super busy and didn't really ask much. The second room mate had to undergo emergency c-sec as her baby's umbilical cord was round her neck. Hence, she had given birth a month earlier. She shared with me how the gynae reacted when she complained of pains - he didn't ordered any scan on her and the pain went on for a week. If it had been my gynae, he would have asked me to go to his clinic for a scan. When the gynae came to check on her, he seems to be in a hurry to go off and just gave curt reply to her question like 'doc, is there anything to increase my milk supply'. His reply was 'there is nothing for you to eat / drink to increase milk supply'.

Hearing these, I was glad that my gynae is not like this.
