Not only have I neglected my blog for an entire year before updating Rayray's third birthday, I didn't once blog about my second pregnancy. I never got around to blog about my first birthing story and this time around was a completely different experience. I had it 'easy' when I gave birth to Rayray as it probably took me an hour to pop her out whereas it took me 6 hours to have this boy out. Golly, it was one gruesome experience. Baby Hao was born on 30 November 2014, weighing 3673g, measuring 52cm so yes he was indeed a big baby. Doc said my body was really suitable for babies weighing around 3000g..... oh well... All I can say is two is more than enough after this and I am very lucky to have one beautiful girl and a cute boy.
My baby boy at Chung-Shan hospital
At the confinement centre
Height - 56.3cm
Weight - 5.2kg
Eating - Feeds 6 times a day as per CLB routine.
Sleeping - I almost forgot how much sleep newborns need! I remember it was such hard work to get Rayray to stay awake and how long we used to get her up for a feed. Baby Hao seems to be more 'easy-going' in the sense that he would wake up whenever it's time for a feed and doesn't seem to throw 'strops' when we wake him.
Development -
- This time around, I took full advantage of confinement centre i.e. leaving baby Hao with the nurses whenever I could apart from feeding him! And even so, I still let them bottlefeed him sometimes as I didn't want what happened with Rayray happens to him again i.e. no bottles only mummy's boobies!
- Baby Hao is a very quiet baby compared to Rayray as I remember Rayray started cooing at one month old whereas he spends most of the time sleeping and staring at me! lol
Peaceful time for mummy
hey mummy
I am still amazed by how alike baby Hao and Rayray look!
