Johanan & mummy

My precious boy!

Johanan in Japanese outfit

This kimono outfit he wearing was meant for 18-24 mths old

And he was about 7 mths when he was wearing this!

Johanan's Growth

This is Johanan when we were at Auntie Abigail's house.

Think he wanted to look like a butterfly?

Check out his trotters!!!

Johanan at 2 weeks

These few weeks were unforgettable as there are alot of changing of diapers and breast feeding. There was 1 particular week when i was constipated and resorted to drinking prune juice as what i have been doing in the past.

Having gulped half a bottle of 1 litre prune juice is no joke for Johanan. Our stomachs were growling and johanan's bowel pattern were affected. Got this inner prompting to place a piece of disposable bed protector under Johanan's but when changing diaper and Caleb asked me to push baby cot further from our bed (where his diaper were changed till Karen blessed us with a Latido diaper changing station during the 3rd week ).

We witnessed how johanan struggled not to be changed , farted and poo squirted out and landed on the floor where the cot was earlier. And he got the sheepish look, dun dare to look at us haha!

He got the 'i struggled cos i have more poo coming out but daddy dunno how to take the hint' look.

The sighting of the speed of his poo squirted out from his butt is unforgettable haha!

He started to sit straight when we tried to burp him when he was only 2 weeks old! He would look at us and 'showed off' by sitting straight for a few seconds.
This photo was taken when caleb was burping him.

Johanan was 8 days old!

It seems that Johanan was very tired when he reached home. I called the nursery to ask whether i should wake him up as it has been 6 hours since his last feeding. It was then i learnt that have to wake him up by undressing him haha.

Maybe he was simply tired, imagine 'sun tan' round the clock haha

Johanan's admission to hospital

Bringing him to pd when he was 5 days old was unforgettable. As its the first time we brought him out, i thought it will be a short trip and gave him 1.5 spoonfuls of formula milk instead of 3 spoonfuls. He was wailing loudly at the pd as he was very hungry and i also cried. Concerned parents at the clinic shook their heads as i told them i did not bring any bottle or formula milk as i thought it will be a short trip. Pd clinic managed to get 1 bottle of formula milk from the hospital's nursery to appease his hunger before we proceed to admit him to hospital.

I was constantly crying when Johanan was in hospital, i cried as and when, even when i was eating my lunch at home.

We went shopping for baby cot mattress as the hand me downs were too old. We got an electronic weighing machine when pd told us to monitor his weight.

This photo was taken when we visited him at the nursery.

johanan's 1st day at home

Decided to update my blog after a friendly reminder from one dear forummer in .motherhood and parenting forum' to update my blog.

This picture was taken the very afternoon we left glen e, sleeping soundly. He woke everyone up the next morning crying for about half an hour or so as he was not latched on properly and have to be hungry for next half an hour as we need to sterilise the bottle for 30min with sterilising tablet. He stayed with us for 1 more night before he got admitted to hospital for jaundice when we brought him to pd for follow up when he was 5 days old.
