Leaving Gleneagles & Coming Home

It is a momentous day for me. I am finally leaving the hospital and heading home.
Home is at 107 Jervois Road #03-03. Mummy waited for Dr Lim -gynae- and Dr Yip -pd- to give the green light. When it was given, it was around 11.30am. Mummy change me and I'm all ready to leave the hospital. My weight now is 2.63kgs. But the nurse told Mummy not to worry, told her that this is common.


Mummy had her lunch and it was time to leave. Daddy went to put all the things in the car, while Mummy waited at the reception area. When Daddy came back, he settled the bill and bought lunch for himself.

Pretty soon, we reached home.

I am so comfortable in my own cot that I spent the rest of the day sleeping. No matter how Mummy tried to wake me, I refused to wake! By today, Mummy's breast milk had come in, and because she could not feed me in the afternoon, by evening, she was engorged! Poor Mummy had to bear the pain and massage her breasts so that the engorgement would go off. I only started suckling from Mummy's breast at night. I then spent the rest of the night waking up almost every 2 hours to drink milk.
