No more sleeping through the night!

Arrgggg ... Keegan has been waking up for milk for the past 1 month. I tried to ignore his crying, feed him water & carry him, but it does not work. He wins, he either get to drink his milk or "suck suck".

As I have slow down my expressing, the supply is not enough for him. He has started taking forumla.

Happy Birthday, Singapore!

Dressed Meredith & Keegan red and white to celebrate National Day. Oh, Keegan's elmo too...

Keegan's First Trip to Hairdresser

Brought Keegan to my mum-in-law's friend salon for a clean shave as he turned 4 months old. Decided to do the shaving as it looks uneven from the back with patches. Even though there is a grandmother tales about shaving hair on either 1st or 4th month, my mum-in-law is not particular about it. Therefore, all the grandchildren of Goh Family did not shave except for Joel & my Keegan boy. Hope his hair will be thick and black when it grows.

My Meredith & Renee Jiejie call me "Bo Ta" ...

Thumb Sucking ... just like Eugene when young

My mother-in-law said keegan is just like eugene when he was young, suck thumb ... So sweet, better than pacificer ... but mummy's "neh neh" still the best.

Sleep through the Night

Hooray, Keegan managed to sleep through the night without waking up for milk since 2 weeks ago. We made it.

Although he did not wake up for milk, he will still cry for a while and stopped. If he cried too loud, instead of carrying him or feed him milk, I gave him pacifier and it works. He was being pacified and went back to sleep in less than a minute. Sometimes, he will suck his thumb.

My friends have been asking how did we train him? Actually, it is brain programming ... after his last feed at 10 pm, I will talk to him, " good night, sleep through the night and wake up tomorrow at 7 am for milk milk. I know you are make it." That's what we did for Meredith too.

Anyway, I still have to wake up to express milk at 3.30 am. Well, 3 more months to go ... and I shall stop breastfeeding.

Keegan needs to be nebulized!

After 5 days of medication, Keegan's cough and phlegm did not get better. Went to see Dr Lee and she suggested nebulization, faster way to dissolve his phlegm. Poor boy, only 2 months and 3 weeks have to go through this.

Keegan is 2 months and 3 days old

Keegan had his 1st immunisation(6 in 1) and also rotavirus vaccine this morning. Expected to have slight fever, given him 1 dose of progessic (1 ml). Guess it must be uncomfortable cos he is very grouchy now ... kept crying and can't get into his sleep.

He now weighs 5.87 kg and 60.5 cm long. Dr Lee commented that he is growing well, big boy.

Saw the two red rounded rashes on his cheek? Thought it was milk rash, but Dr Lee confirmed it was eczema.

He has reflux too, we have to add thicker in my breastmilk and also carry him upright when feeding. In this way, he will be more comfortable.

He is still waking up for milk in the middle of the night, how I wish he will be like Meredith, sleep thorough the night when she was 2 months old. We used the same method as Meredith but did not work on Keegan, got to think of a another way to wean him off the night feed. Mummy's eyes are like "panda" now.

Introduction to Pacifier!

Tonight, I have decided to give Keegan pacifier. He has not been sleeping well today, kept waking up after 10 mins of sleep and wants to be carried.

Pushed the pacifier into his mouth and guess what, he sucks very well.

Just like Meredith when she was about 2 weeks plus.

Meredith

My Little Keegan is now 33 weeks old!

5 more weeks to go ... April 6, 2008 will be the day to welcome Keegan to Goh Family. Will Keegan looks like Eugene or me?

I had cesarean for Meredith as she was breech, will do the same for Keegan even though I might have the chance to choose natural birth. No, no, I don't want, scared of the labour pain.

I failed in breastfeeding for Meredith, developed Mastitis. The pain was unbearable, both my breasts were as hard as cheese. Went to seek help from Mrs Wong Boh Boi from Thomson Medical Centre, my goodness, the massage that she did for me, made me cried so badly that Eugene had never seen it before. This time round, I must succeed for Keegan. Any successful tips for me?

Picture of Meredith when she was 2-day old.





Want to see how "Pretty" I am, when expecting I was Meredith? This was taken on the day before admitting hospital.

Did I scare you???

This is how I look now! Better? Eugene's comments: JUST AS BAD!!!

Kieran or Keegan?

Our second baby will be due in mid April 2008. It's a baby boy... We are now in the midst of naming him. So Kieran or Keegan? Eugene vote for Keegan and Meredith too.

Meaning of Keegan - little fiery one.

We have been telling Meredith about baby Didi and she loves hugging and kissing him. She will read bedtime stories and sings for him. She loves to follow me for check-ups as she is able to see keegan during scanning.

See how much she loves keegan!
