Week 3

Thomas is 4.54 kg. He got a big head. The circumference is 38 cm. This week, we had kiwi grand grandparents visited.

Swimming

Thomas done his first swim today. He really enjoying it. We worried about he is going to cry through it. Surprisingly, he swims really well. It took him almost 10 minutes. Distance 0 meter.

2 weeks

In the second week, Thomas grows really well. He gain 0.3 kg and he is happy with breast feeding. There were little hormone spots on his face. Most of them are gone by now. Thomas starts getting into routines. In normal situation, he always sleep for 2 hours, then wake up for the feed. According to middle wife, he is strong and healthy.

Grandpas are busy finding a Chinese name for him. I will post it as soon as they found out.

First week

Yes, one weeks already. In first week, Thomas did really well. From crying all the time to sleep 2 hours between every feed. His cry start making sense to all of us. Last couple days, he didn't sleep all the time. Especially today, he stayed up for almost 2 hours.

Today, middle wife Claire came to do a body check for Thomas and weight him. He lost 0.08 kg in the first week. Everything is find, except those little red spots on his body. That's because we putted too much clothes on him. It's a bit too warm for him.

Over all, well done, Thomas. And well done for all of us.

Big smile

Little Thomas knows how to smile. Last couple days, we got a lot of visitors. Thomas gave all of them big smile face when the visitors said he is beautiful. However, he had never gave me a big smile until yesterday. After feed, I was cuddling him. Suddenly, he looked at me and a big smile. Awesome, that's the feeling you only got when you are a parent. Super happy!!!

Ok, blame on my photographing skill, this is the closest smiling photo I can get.

Bad Habit

Thomas starts having bad habit. He normally wake up when there is a pee. Then he is putted into feed. He falls into sleep with one side feed. The problem is he is doing a poo after that. So we need to change nappies again. After that, he gets another side feed. Finally, bed time for him. Thomas, that's bad habit. It is wasting nappies and making us tired. Any way, we had been told by middle wife. Baby won't remember their habit before 6 months. So we will deal with that later.

Settle down

Last night, Thomas behaved way better than last few nights. He starts sleeping for around 2 hours then get up for a feed and changing nappies. Unlike last few nights, he was very unsettled for sleep. He only slept for half hours then woke up want a feed. That made everybody really tired. Well, he got pass that finally. Great, we are still doing well.

Kiwi grandma visit

Lovely kiwi grandma came and visited for 3 days. Little Thomas slept really well on grandma. Also he gave grandma a very nice gift -- poo.

Home, sweet home

3 days after birth, Thomas finally got home from birth center. First of all, he looked at the water from the tap and the hot stove. It's a Chinese tradition for baby to look at water and fire in the new place to make them comfort in the new place. After that, baby is settled to his own cot. He must be tired from the road. He fall into sleep really quick.

First bath

One day after birth, Thomas had his first bath in RiverRidge birth center. Thomas seems very enjoy the bath. Photo will come soon.
