Emily is due for her check up in the hospital the Monday after next. She is going to have her blood drawn next Monday to run some tests. I hope the results will allow her to stop all the medication that she is currently taking. She is also due to change from fat-free formula milk to breast milk which I have accumulated for her in my new freezer. Her very expensive fat-free formula is almost out as well, but I am a bit worried about her ability to adapt back to breast milk after 6 weeks of not taking it. I am also worried if switching back to breast milk will cause any problems like it did right after her operation.I think I will mix both types of milk and take 2 to 3 days to switch her over. Hope I still have enough formula milk to do so...
Otherwise, Emily is doing just fine. I think she is well over 4kg now, hooray! She still pants after feeding for a short awhile but will resume feeding quickly. She is responding to us well, smiling when we make funny noises. She is even cooing and oohing back at us. She has been flagging her arms and legs since a long time ago and her neck is getting stronger.
As my mum suggested, I have brought an electronic automatic shaker for the baby hammock and it's a great help. We can leave her for a long while in the cradle while I do other stuff around the house, RM180 for that with 6 months warranty. This will be useful too when the maid is here so the maid can do other work while Emily sleeps in the day. Additional, I have ordered iBaby online. It's an IP webcam/baby monitor that can be accessed and controlled using iPhone app. It has night vision and supports 2 way communication too. I am waiting for the RM699 iBaby to be delivered. Quite excited about getting it to work so I can start checking on Emily live while I am at work!
