My 28 days confinement

Week 1

The house seemed upside down. Packed with 'strangers' and took some time to understand or got used to each others...

Good thing is, Renee and Ifa had become closer each day ^^

Phoebe had been very obedient and napping most of the time, besides feeding or shower ^^ Nanny seemed experienced and loved babies!

To ensure the two sisters love each other, there's a gift exchange ceremony. They gave each other a token of lovely welcome gift

Renee was bathed by Ifa for the first time, under supervision/distraction by her dad. She wanted my hug after the tearful shower. Only to pull away a piece of smelly sweaty towel away from my shoulder as it absolutely stank! Haha! Time to change the towel!!!

One afternoon when I was lying on sofa, Renee ran over and looked at me with a big smile. I tapped the seat beside to invite her up, she waved her hand in front of her face and said "Chou Chou" (which means smelly)... DotZ...

One night when Phoebe was crying and nanny was busy, daddy carried the baby and sat in the living room. Phoebe turned her head to watch TV... Wahahaha!!

My nice confinement food ^^

Phoebe had juandice, so she was brought to SingHealth SK Polyclinic for follow-up every few days to ensure the level was acceptable. Jiayou, my girl!!

And here's a gift package from my company!! And some birdnest from my dearest 'weird' friends! ^^

Week 2

Jamu massage... By auntie Mona (again) on the 7th day since delivery. Thanks to JY for loaning her binder!

Massager Mona commented that my hormones didn't seem balance... A lot of rashes and markings on the skin... ;'(

Unfortunately, I didn't throw away any inches from my waist after the 5-day session and my aunt said that I had upsized ;p

Renee and Phoebe's bonding time most of the nights. To bring them closer bit by bit...

Yes, this little baby flipped to the side by herself at 2 week old! Phoebe started to use net rocker ever since her sweat glands became active...

Relatives visited us... Mostly last min. notification and folks came by to send their blessings (Ang baos)... And to carry baby Phoebe! Haha ;p

Breaking personal best record of no-shower (10 days in 2011), targeted for 14 days in 2013... But only made it as 13 days when hubby asked (or begged) "when can u take a bath?"

Happy Birthday to hubby! We had our first family photo but hubby and I

looked too chui-Ed, so not sharing here...

Happy National Day, Singapore! I was glad that Phoebe came earlier than this day so she could see fireworks, too! Here's a pic of us watching NDP on TV together ^^

This yahoo Baby had been sleeping with her arms behind her head like she's sun-tanning at Hawaii beach...

Week 3

Bathing is such a pleasure! I realized it during both confinement... And soon forgot about it once when I was done with it. Wahahaha!

I hugged my girls tightly and told them, "mommy has bathed! Smell me!" Renee would point at my towel over the shoulder and said "臭臭"...

Anyway, perspiration cycle returned shortly when I took my meals... Arghh!

Dear was back to work from third week onwards. No more penguin daddy during the day... 

After putting Phoebe on formula for so long, we decided to re-introduce BM (breast milk) to her when our freezer had run out of space... For the first few feeding, Phoebe threw up... So we cut down the volume and fed half at a time... She got used to the taste and texture soon...

We also started re-latching on. Phoebe would fall asleep in the lay down position after she's been satisfied. Haa! ^^

Week 4

Full month celebrtion! Yippee! Instead of hosting for two separate sessions, we combined it as a single session. So we were looking at serving of 80 and more pax... Not just that we had no clue where  to place the food (with 7 tables!), I started to wonder if this floor could take the weight of so many people...

Thank you, Bro and his gf for the kawaii bear

It shall be just me and my helper with two little terrors after Tuesday. I wanted to thank my confinement nanny for all the care and guidance. So glad that this would all over and yet another beginning of my new Challenge! Jiayou! ^^

Sisters bonding continues... May these sisters live happily ever after!!!
