Baby-related
- I had another episode of bed rest 35 weeks on the way, I needed a 2-week time off because I really bleed
- I gave birth via CS to a healthy baby boy at 8.6 lbs. We called him Asher Cassiel which means "Happy Angel"
- A was circumcised before we left the hospital, it's expensive to have this operation done to a newborn!
- I had a rough first few days at home as my baby kept on crying, which they said due to lack of milk. Que horror we gave him formula :( but still determined to exclusively breastfeed him I read and researched on latching. I never stopped trying to perfect the latch, now he is gaining weight with regular wiwi and poops.
- I was able to let go of the formula, unfortunately Pedia told me baby is not gaining enough so back to formula again but I found out that she measured the weight from the birth weight and not the weight after we got out of the hospital! When I compared, HE IS GAINING WEIGHT!
- We let go of the first pedia and had a visit to pedia 2 which is my nephew's doctor though as soon as we move to Paranaque we will visit a recommended Pedia by my friend who is breastfeeding-friendly
- A had his immunization of Hepa, BCG and 6in1
- I got myself a Lactation Consultant, Pam Magallon of Bossom Buddy, who verified that A is latching well, taught me to hand express, gave tips on diet and how to help baby gain weight.
- On to red rice, fish and veggie. I've been cutting down on sweets for almost a week now.
- No workout until I
House-related
