Bryant is hospitalized

My poor boy is having rather serious jaundice as such doctor has advised to admit him to hospital for treatment. :(

He admitted since yesterday evening. I rushed over to hospital to see him and hug him. My poor little boy has to be separated with daddy and mommy for 2 days while he is only 5 days old. Mommy is heart broken. Though everyone keeps saying jaundice is normal for most babies, I can tell you that no mother will be alright when we have to leave our babies in hospital and go home ourselves. I teared non-stop last night.

No news from hospital yet. Hopefully, baby Bryant's condition is under control now. I might make a trip to hospital to see him later.

Bryant, be strong and recover soon! Daddy and mommy love you. I have sent the irresponsible confinement aunty away. You will be well taken by someone else when you are home. Mommy feels so sorry to entrust you to wrong person. Please forgive mommy.

Sleeping prince - Bryant Tan

All newborns sleep a lot, mine too. Seeing him sleeping soundly is my greatest happiness now. I don't think of other things except him during my maternity leave. I must enjoy our quality time.

Full term

It's 37th week! This means my baby is full term now and it also means I might deliver anytime from now. Omg! I am not ready yet...

I almost got everything my baby and myself need. However, I am still not sure if that's all we need. I am so worried that something important has slipped my mind and shall end up with chaos after baby is born.

Another thing that I worry the most is my work. I am still actively involved at work. I actually plan to commence my maternity from 2nd May which is just a few days before my EDD. Well, I am uncertain if my baby is patient enough to wait till then. As such, I set a deadline for myself to finish upmost pending cases and queries by end of this week or latest mid of next week.

The waiting game is torturing coz you won't know when it's gonna happen. I am anxious every day and night. Whenever I feel pain with my stomach, I get panic. I guess most 1st time moms experience the same too.

Sometimes, I imagine how my life will be after baby is born. Will I be a good mom? Will I be able to breastfeed? Can I cope with my baby alone after the confinement lady leaves me? Who will my baby resemble? Then again, all these are not so important. After all, I just pray that my baby will be healthy and happy.

Packing hospital bag

I thought this should be an easy task. But, it is not. I have checked a few websites regarding what to pack for my hospital bag. There are different versions. Some advise to pack a lot more things than another. I get confused now! Anyway, I always apply this principle: More is better than less.

So, how many bags do I need? One for labour, one for baby and one for myself? Or all in one? What does the hospital provide for my stay? I guess I better check with experienced mommies.

Preparation @ week 35

Shopping list is almost 85% done. Big items have been settled.

Laudry for baby clothings and beddings have been done too.

Confinement lady has been confirmed.

I still need to arrange for spring cleaning for the house by mid April.

Clearing the fridge is also needed for storage of expressed breast milk.

Last but not least is to prepare my hospital bag.
