2 Weeks Old

Today she has officially turned 2 weeks old. It seems only yesterday she was born; time is moving that fast! The week has been spent trying to understand her many cries... when she means she's hungry, when she's uncomfortable and would like a change of diapers and when she just wants to be cuddled and lulled to sleep.

Except for a brief episode of restlessness possibly caused by some wind in the tummy, Shiya has been a prefect angel. She sleeps around 3 hours before she wakes up for her milky2. The only time she actually screams is when we need to change her diapers or clothes and this is only if the room is cold. Poor baby...

Like all babies, she wakes up at night but only around 2am and 5am for her milky2. Then she falls right off to sleep. So there's no real night time drama. :) But last night was different. She was up at 2.30am and refuses to settle down even after we've given her her milk and changed her diapers. She didn't cry much but rather was somewhat irritated. After near 2 hours of restlessness, I finally changed her diapers and clothes since it was a little damp. After some milky2 she immediately fell asleep as I was trying to burp her. :)  I wonder what irritated her in the first place. The clothes? The pampers? It might be the tummy... or just plain not enough milk? hehehe... babies are such a mystery... :P

Poor hubby only got his sleep around 4am (my shift starts... yes, we go in shifts :P  ). Hopefully he can focus at work today. :)

On a different note, her jaundice seems better. Everyday she takes a sun bathing session with her Che (or mummy when Che is not around) and of course mummy's milky. Now her skin is more pinkish and her eyes no longer have that yellowish hew. Sigh, thank goodness!

Tomorrow is Shiya's photo shoot by her Papa Long. Until then... muah!
