merry christmas sa lahat...tahimik ng pasko dito kasabay pa ng pagiging cloudy which makes it a sad day...there are times when its cloudy i feel like its a sad day... but still its a merry christmas coz i have my own little family...

and good news din kasi nakapoopoo na baby ko kaninang madaling araw...pinanom ko sya ng tubig pero ayaw nya so nilagyan ko kunti ng breastmilk then he started drinking it pero parang nagdadabog hehehehe...then yun tinuhug-tuhog ko yung butt nya ng thermometer hehehehe...kunti lang naman then i guess yun ang nakahelp sa kanya na pagpoopoo...i dont know today kasi di pa sya nagpoopoo ulit as of now pero okay lang im just gonna wait. di ko muna sya binigyan ng formula...actually im not really breastfeeding but i just keep on pumping and di ko masyado syang kinakarga kasi baka masanay hehehehehe ewan ko lang baka sa ilang months na...di ko rin hinehele o dinuduyan kasi baka masanay rin...he has swing pero di ko muna ginagamit...pero minsan i try to make him sit para kahit papano maexercise nya yung head nya and neck.

brb muna rin ako kasi maglilinis muna ako hehehehe...

God bless sa lahat.

heheheheh natatawa talaga ako sayo RR..akala ko naman eh nagtutuhog ka ng bbq for christmass eh yon pala pwet ni baby ang tinutuhog mo heheheh. At least ok na at nakapopo na si baby. Ganyan din ako lagi hinihintay magpopo si Jacob although di ako nagpupunas pag nagpopo sya kasi ang bantot daddy nya taga punas.Mas maganda yan na di mo sinasanay ng hele kasi nga bka masanay.Si Jacob pag di makatulog ang ginagawa ko eh pinapahiga ko sa dibdib ko para kahit gising sya makatulog pa rin ako.

Well, breastfed babies poop easier than bottle-fed babies...it's the protein in formula that makes the baby constipated. Sayang naman yung pina-pump mo na milk. It's not too late to put him on breastmilk, you know.

Is good practice to not carry him all the time. Si Alec, di ko binibitbit lagi so that di sya mahirap patulugin at di sinumpong pag di kinakarga. I did not get nor wanted a swing. I was given a infant to toddler rocker though which I may just use to put the baby in after feedings para di nakahiga kaagad. I used a baby carrier with Alec. At 9 days, malambot pa yung head and neck ng baby...needs support at least till 3 months of age when he can hold his head up na talaga. Yes, he may be holding his head up a bit but his neck muscles aren't strong enough yet. That is where your mobile or whatever he can focus on comes in handy so he can turn his head from side to side and strngthen his neck muscles

Hubby is working Christmas eve into christmas morning, so I will be alone down in the living room in a little while. Going to call and "join" the annual family reunion occuring in the PHils right now

Merry Christmas to y'all!

heheheheh natatawa talaga ako sayo RR..akala ko naman eh nagtutuhog ka ng bbq for christmass eh yon pala pwet ni baby ang tinutuhog mo heheheh. At least ok na at nakapopo na si baby. Ganyan din ako lagi hinihintay magpopo si Jacob although di ako nagpupunas pag nagpopo sya kasi ang bantot daddy nya taga punas.Mas maganda yan na di mo sinasanay ng hele kasi nga bka masanay.Si Jacob pag di makatulog ang ginagawa ko eh pinapahiga ko sa dibdib ko para kahit gising sya makatulog pa rin ako.

actually sabi ko sa hubby ko ayokong tuhugin ang butt ng baby ko pero nung pag uwi ng hubby ko from work i asked him to buy thermo for the butt kasi meron kaming thermo pero for the temple...so yun we went to walmart kagabi para bumili ng thermo then nagtuloy na ri kami sa ross and bumili ng clothes for the baby...nakauwi kami midnight na...nakakalerky kasi ilang days pa baby namin eh ginagabi na sa labas hehehehe...

at first parang nakakatakot tuhugin kasi baka masaktan pero nung wala lang naman sa baby ko kaya parang nawala rin yung takot ko...kaya nung nagpoopoo sya ang i felt so happy. ako taga change ng diaper ng baby ko actually ako lahat...hehehehe...

ms gracey...pag nagpapump ako i put the breastmilk in the bottle so bottlefeed sya ng breastmilk ko...nawawala ba yung nutrients ng breastmilk kung nilalagay sa bottle? halos everyday kasi kaming lumalabas ng hubby ko so mahirap mag breastfeeding and sa ngayon medyo nakapundo kasi ako ng breastmilk so tuloy-tuloy akong nagpupump then nilalagay ko lang sa ref. the first days kasi wala pa yung breastmilk ko kaya napilitan akong magformula since may sample ako but then the pedia gave me another formula to make him poo a lot but then i dont know if that helped him poo earlier...

i only feed him on my breast for how many minutes para kahit papano may attachment skin to skin hehehehe...its convenient for me to bottlefeed him most of the time kasi para makagalaw rin ako...

(Belated) Merry Christmas to all!

Hay naku...yan na nga ba ang nangyayari sa naiinip...

Mazzelynn Eve made her debut at 9:52am Eastern of Christmas day She weighed in at 8.6 lbs and is 21 inches tall :) I had one strong contraction around 5am, went to the bathroom at ayun na nga...bloody show. Did not go to the hospital till an hour later when my contractions were 4 mins apart. Am currently still in the hospital recuperating, Maizy is currently seeking Daddy's favor...he just cannot not pick her up the moment she starts to cry. Ayun, first night namin pareho kaming puyat. I swear...pati recovery ko is far different from when i had Alec. Di ako maka-wee-wee after they took out the catheter at nag-spasm yung daanan ng wee-wee ko kaya they had to re-insert another. I've been able to relieve myself since then but the walk to the toilet is somewhat excruciating kasi nag-spasm parin yung pantog ko. They are still observing me kas my hemoglobin dropped from a 10.9 pre-op to a 7.6 post-op. Passed out a lot of blood clots kanina so i am currently awaiting the lab tech who'll be getting another blood sample for another blood count. The baby was observed in the special care nursery for a while kasi sabi malaki sya for her age in weeks. Everything turned out to be fine although they had to test her blood sugar every now and then. She is developing some jaundice on her face already and I would not be surprised if she becomes yellower tomorrow. She is purely breast-fed...nakakatulugan nga lang nya mag-dede. She as passed out meconium 4 times already which is good...needs to make wet diapers now

Ayan...gising na naman yung prinsesa...feeding time again....

God bless sa lahat.

It's normal for newborn babies na di makapopo for few days as long as umiihi sya. Si Eve no'ng bagong panganak may mga iilang araw na di sya nakapopo. Her pedia and people from the hospital told us before na as long as magana ang kain nya at nagwiwi, walang dapat ikabahala. Nag-worry din kami nuon ng di sya nakapopo ng ilang araw, but with the experts assurance, naging panatag na din loob namin.

Gracey - Congrats again!!! Christmas talaga ang napili ni Maizy na lumabas. Ganda no'n ka-birthday nya si Jesus

Doc Gracey, woohoooo! Congrats sa baby! :dance: Baby ko din na-jaundice nung 2nd day nya kaya ayun pinagstay pa kami sa hospital for another day kasi he needs to be on light (Bili Bassinet) tapos Sunday pinauwi na kami kasi from 15 eh nagwent down to 10.5 yung sa jaundie nya. Monday pinabalik kami for another Bili test, tumaas ulit at naging 12. Wednesday another Bili test kasi napansin ko na naging yellowish talaga cya at tama nga ang kutob ko tumaas ng 16. Friday bumalik kami for another test at ayun nagwent down to 11 na at ngayon eh napapansin ko na nawawala na yung pagka yellowish nya

Sana wag matulad si Maizy sa anak ko kasi nakakapagod magbalik balik sa hospital hehe. Congrats again!

Sweet_wifey - ang cute naman ni baby hannah

Sa mga malapit na ang due date, Good Luck! :star:

[ryandgracey 2]

Thank you to all

We are now home. My hemoglobin is stable in the 7's but since di naman ako nahihilo, pinayagan kami makauwi. Of course, excited si Alec...she says dalawa na daw sila na princess dito sa bahay Hubby still attends to Maizy's diapers and getting her to me for feedings since I can't move all that well yet. My problem still seems to be going to the toilet...side effects of the pain-fighting mixture they put in with my spinal anesthesia. Am going to be drug-dependent for awhile. Good thing, too, at ngayon kami na-discharge kasi kung hindi, snow ang abot namin pag bukas pa.

Maizy's appetite increased dramatically overnite. She was at my breasts for more than an hour mga 1am and she was still hungry so that we had to supplement with the provided Similac Advance. She finally settled down after 3 hours, only to start fussing again a few mins after we thought we'd be able to get some sleep (my bowel problems ended at around 5am). Hubby requested the nursery to take Maizy for a few hours so I could rest, and she was returned to us at 10am on my insistence. She's made a lot of poop and had her first wet diapers. Feeling ko gutom sya lagi.

While waiting to be discharged, we had her photographed by the baby photographer contracted by the hospital.

Maizy's pics may be seen on: www.bellababyphotography.com. The password is 1225mazzelynneve. Will be available for viewing for 2 weeks. I thought they did a marvelous job

Pink - physiologic jaundice occurs usually bet days 3-7. It's either bili-light or 30 mins plain ol' early morning sunshine...of course, you need to turn the heater up if you're going to take Zach's clothing off while exposing him to sunshine....if you do get sunshine.

Tulog kaya muna ako... Kaya lang, parang nakakhiya sa MIL ko...

[o0pink0o 3]

Doc Gracey, I just visited the website and used the password you gave. Wow! feeling ko carbon copy mo si Maizy hehe Ang cute naman Wish ko din dati sana kamukha ko anak namin pero sa ngayon eh mukhang nagiging kamukha na ng anak ko daddy nya hehe pero ok lang Anak ko din kinunan ng pic pero masmaganda yung sa inyo kasi ang daming poses sa anak ko isa lang, ba't ganun? hehe Pagaling ka na at sana eh mag-OK ka na soon

About sa jaundice ng anak ko, ok na naman cya (I think) yung eyes nya eh hindi na mashado yellowish pati skin nya di na rin. Sabi ng Doc kapag tumaas pa daw ng 16 eh kailangan nya ng bili blanket pero thank God at hindi na nya kailangan nun

I am a breastfeeding mom. Sa umaga breastfeed si baby pero sa gabi formula na kasi asawa ko na nagbabantay sa anak namin para makatulog naman ako. May tanong po ako sa mga mommies.

Para sa mga breastfeeding moms:

1. Ilang oras kayo magpabreastfeed?

Para sa mga hindi breastfeeding moms:

1. Anong brand ang gamit ninyong formula milk?

2. Powdered or yung ready to use na?

3. Ano masprefer ninyo, Similac or Enfamil? or other brand?

4. Saan kayo kumukuha ng coupons?
