You suffered from abdominal pain for a couple of nights and days. We could console you, but we were really upset because you were in pain.

Your dad had to get back to work today, and I am not still comfortable with carrying and handling your car seat, or even driving. So, we decided to take you to the doctor yesterday and seek some advice.

You have been getting too much milk for a day. Doctor’s recommendation was for 60 to 90 cc every 3+ hours. 75 cc works best for you.

Enfamil didn’t work for you. The doctor, however, recommended Gentlease for you. We realized that Gentlease was one of Enfamil products. So, we decided not to give it to you, and keep you on your current Nestle formula.

You stopped latching after we fed you with bottle. And, you do not like breast milk, except if it is mixed with formula. 🙂

You are an angel, a real lady. Many have dropped by to see you. It is of course a tradition, but hey, because I always said I didn’t want to have a child, all friends and families (even the most distant ones) are so excited! I can’t believe.

Having a child is a unique experience, not similar to anything else. For one thing I love your dad, and I know he does love me. After you are here, though, we have been unable to find a word to describe our feelings for you. It is something beyond love. I strongly believe that it is about instincts, and it is given to us by the nature for humans and other animals to survive.

So, by all means, once you feel ready and mature enough, try having a baby. Make yourself prepared to face all challenges, all responsibilities, the deepest pain and the deepest joy you have ever experienced.

We love you, no matter how you are, or what you are. We are just wired to love you, if love is the right word.

Wow. You no longer need a support to keep your head upright. Well, of course not for a long time, but hey, this is a very great improvement. You can even turn your head when you are on your tummy! I never expected it from a 10-days old baby.

I guess we overfed you. You had abdominal pain, and a little bit of diarhea. We decided to feed you with less milk. We found the formula for the daily amount of milk for newborns. It is 150 to 200 ml per kg of their weight per day. For you for now, it is 3.5 by 200 (or by 150), so 700 ml per day. We will keep it at 60 ml per feeding.

You have a gym, with cute little stuffed animals hanging in it. We put you in there, and you use your hands to play with those stuffed animals! You are much more comfortable playing with the one on your right hand side. You rarely use your left hand to play with them. So, there you go, you are right handed.

The funny thing is, your paternal grandfather, your mom (me), your uncle (my brother), your maternal great grandmother, my aunt, and two of my cousins are all left handed. So, you had a good chance to be a lefty yourself. But..you are very right handed. 🙂

We couldn’t believe you could play (and enjoyed playing) with those stuffed animals at just 9 days old. In fact, when I read the instructions on the toy about being fit for all ages, I thought it meant it is safe for all ages. But no! it is really a toy for all ages, including 9 days old to play with, and enjoy.

I have a right handed daughter, and she is still a dream baby! All parents wish to have such a wonderful calm and sweet baby.

You were born on February 11th, 2013. What are the odds, you, your dad and myself are all born on the same day; the 11th!!

You were born at 10:48 a.m., weighed 2.955 kg, and measured 48 cm.

God bless you; you are the best baby I have ever known. You are great and perfect. Thanks for picking us as your parents.

Today you turned one week!!! Today, you have developed skills with your hands! You have discovered some new ways to use them. Your dad says, you pushed back your bottle away from your mouth with your hands, for the first time. I noticed you removed your blanket away from yourself, again using your hands.

I think you are getting stronger.

I am still upset about what those idiots did to you on your first and second days in the hospital. These idiots are obsessed with breastfeeding, to the point that they were about to kill you of hunger! You were born at 2.955 Kg, but you lost more than 10% of your weight in the first two days, just because those idiots didn’t tell me to put you on supplements. Well, to be honest, I was a big fool myself for not doing it on my own.

Anyways, you are now a healthy girl, you love eating, and you drink your milk with a great appetite. You are a dream baby! You are so good, sometimes I am not sure what I did to deserve it, and sometimes i think it is too good to be true.

Your dad adores you. We both fell in love with you once we saw you. My biggest concern was with you health. So, once the doctor pulled you out of my belly, (your dad says) my first question was, is she healthy, and the nurse said yes. Your dad says, I then shed a tear, I guess out of joy. it was a big relief. Your dad’s family adore you, and my mom is literally crazy about you. I still think a great part of it is because you are such a great baby. You never cry, unless if there is something wrong, and I mean really wrong.

The doctor told your dad, it is because you were born prematurely and early by 10 days, because of the C section, and that you might change as you grow. Well, let’s put it this way, We will love you anyways, regardless if you cry, or smile. But hey, when you smile, the whole world smiles. YOU, You are our world.

And….We bathed you today, for the first time after we were released from the hospital. You had your first bathe in the hospital, the night you were born, though.
