My 2nd Day out of Mummy's Tummy

This morning, Dr Lim comes by to check on Mummy and asks if she wants to have her drip removed. Mummy immediately says yes, she is tired of having to lie in bed and not be able to go anywhere. Later, a nurse comes by to remove Mummy's drip when the medication has run out. Mummy decided to get off the bed to walk around. Daddy had to send Grandma & Grandpa to the train station. So I was left with Mummy.

Mummy found out that I had pooed in my diaper, and she decided to change my diaper to gain some experience, thinking that if she couldn't handle, she could always buzz for the nurse. However, while she was changing me half-way, she felt a gust of lochia and as her maternity pad was loose, she started dripping blood all over the floor! Mummy quickly finished changing my diaper and as she wasn't sure if she could leave me alone in plastic cot, so she brought me with her to the bathroom, to avoid dripping more blood on the floor. While there, she pressed for the nurse to come and help her. The nurse carried me and left mummy to clean herelf up. When she finished cleaning herself, she came out of the bathroom to see me lying by myself in my plastic cot. After a while, the cleaning staff came to clean the carpet as well as the bathroom.

Today, we had some visitors coming by too. Pastor Ben came by and Daddy asked him to recommend a chinese name for me. Pastor Ben looked at me and said that he thinks of xiu4 when he sees me. Daddy was very happy, as there was support for xiu4 for my chinese name.

Uncle Chin Kwee & Aunt Peggy came by to visit too and Aunt Peggy wanted to carry me as she doesn't have a little girl of her own. She and Uncle Chin Kwee have 2 boys.

Here are the pictures taken on the 2nd day of my birth!
