Chloe's Baby Shower

Chloe turns 1... month old this weekend. A proud and happy occasion for every proud parent (and grandparent)

Well Saturday started with her first trip to her great-grandparent's place to celebrate her first month and prayer to the ancestors.

Of course, the main event was the baby shower, held at home... Daddy & Mommy were too busy that day with frens & relatives to take many pictures. Will put up the few pics that we did manage to take.

Our buffet lunch held downstairs - with time and space, this was a great opportunity for my relatives to gather and chit-chat.

Thanks to all our frens and relatives for showering Chloe with all these fine presents and angbaos, and most importantly, thank you for taking time out to share this joyous day with us - being a day to celebrate Chloe's 1st month, as well as to bring together relatives & frens who dun get to meet up often.

Week 3: Videos

Week 2

Chloe is now 15 days old. This morning we brought her to the polyclinic for a follow-up and was happy to know that her jaundice level is down to 56.

The little dear is now feeding well, and she is now more willing to open up her eyes to look around compared to the first week when my dad had to try for days before he could capture a good shot of her with her eyes open. Some pictures taken today.

What rosy you checks you have... the result of milk rash, plus the use not-so-effective cream prescribed by the polyclinic doctor, which only made the face look even redder.

Chloe turns 1 week old. As a treat for us, she has decided to open up her lovely eyes longer for us to admire.

Well, having a new baby that attracts plenty of attention meant we have been getting lotsa visitors. Relatives had been visiting us the past 5 days to see the baby and giving advice on what to do, etc. We were a little concerned that Chloe only wanted to sleep for long stretch of hours, didn't seemed to like to drink all that much, and that her jaundice level was pretty high still, altho it had come down from the 241 on Tuesday. Gotta monitor her jaundice level over the next few days, and hope that she starts to like drinking milk more often.
