In the first few weeks, looking after Micah was really easy. As a very young newborn, Micah’s sleeping routine was pretty much “Feed, Change, Sleep”. Now, his routine is basically “Feed, Change, Play, Sleep” during the day and “Feed, Change, Sleep” at night. I’d like to think we have his sleeping routine pretty much solid by now – but babies are so unpredictable and sometimes it may not go as smoothly as you think it should. For example, I’d like to think his cycle during the day is 3 hours and by now his night time cycle should be 4 … Continue reading Sleeping Habits in Week 5

Strangely enough, ever since Micah was born he was never really a huge fan of bath time. Very strange! Most babies find bath time a relaxing time and the fact that they were “floating” in their mums’ womb for 9 months meant that being in warm water is soothing and calming to them. Unfortunately, Micah has always cried and screamed during bath time and we’ve always had to bath him very quickly to get it over and done with… Thankfully in the past week or so that has changed and Micah now truly enjoys his bath time.. so much so … Continue reading Bath Time

Being born in 2011 means that according to the Chinese Calendar, Micah was born in the year of the Rabbit. Also, having been to his 4-week routine nurse appointment this week and now weighing 5.52kg (gained 1 kg in the past two weeks) – Micah is officially our little Chubby Bunny! I originally bought this suit so he can wear it on his baptism – but his baptism won’t be until 1st of July now (when my parents will be in town) and I doubt he would fit in this suit by then, so he wore the suit to a … Continue reading Week 4: Chubby Bunny & Sushi

Oh the weeks go by so quickly!! Today’s also the last day of 2011 so HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! Hope this year has been a special one for you, or even if it has been a challenging one – I hope it has taught you valuable lessons in life that you will remember forever. This year has obviously been really special for both hubby and I… I’m just glad I am no longer pregnant! Haha. I have exactly 30 mins before I have to feed Micah before we head out to dinner with a few friends for New Year’s Eve … Continue reading Week 3: Where did the week… I mean, YEAR go?!

 This year, Christmas arrived a little bit early as little Micah was born just before Christmas. By the time Christmas came along, little baby Micah who is just 2 weeks and 3 days old have accumulated a MOUNTAIN of presents! Toys, books, clothes, hats, bibs, shoes, socks, towels, blankets, wraps, even more toys… and this does not even include all the necessities baby Micah received e.g. nappies, baby wipes, more nappies, more baby wipes, nappy sacks, baby powder, laundry basket, etc!   Micah would just like to thank all of his generous aunties and uncles, nana and granddad, mommy and … Continue reading Micah’s 1st Christmas (Part Two)

Here we are, Micah officially turned 2 weeks old yesterday.. and just two days ago would’ve been his official due date! I am so glad he was born two weeks early, because if he was still in my belly TODAY, I don’t know what I’d do! He is such a big boy now, I cannot believe he is only 2 weeks old. He is growing every minute every hour every day, it is all happening so fast before we know it he’d be walking! This week has been a HUGE week for us, so here’s a bit of summary: First … Continue reading Week 2: Tis The Season To Be Growing…

(Below was written on the early hours of Thursday, 15th December 2011) I am writing this blog post via my BlackBerry whilst lying in a hospital bed. Micah has been readmitted to the hospital to do 24-Hour Phototherapy treatment for his Jaundice. We have been here for 8 hours. Only 16 more hours to go… Or at least I just need to get through tonight, and then Enoch will be back at the hospital at 8am and I can maybe get some sleep. It’s hard for me to rest easy, as I constantly feel like I should be watching Micah … Continue reading Week 1: Breastfeeding, Jaundice & Settling In
