New Blog Header
Now that B is born, there's a good reason to replace the blog header and to include B on the header...
Here's the 20th version! :)

Follow up check at the Gynae's
Sent A to the childcare centre before DC drove me to the gynae's. We left B with DC's parents who came to our place for 2 hours.
It was a quick visit. The gynae did a pap smear (report out in 2 weeks) and told me to continue taking the vitamins and fish oil and continue using the expensive cream. He also taught me some pelvic floor exercises and that's it! The next visit will be in one year's time.

B's Poop
Since birth, B has been pooping 1-2 times a day. However, on 2 Feb, she didn't poo at all. Then, on the next day, she pooed lots. After that day, she pooed almost after every feed!
Her stools are usually very seedy and watery and she usually spurts out her stools in all directions. We had to change her many times a day and sometimes when we are not careful, it will be all over the floor like this:
We wonder if she was having a diarrhea and thought we better bring her for checkup in the afternoon after the photo shoot in the morning. And so we went today although the scheduled appointment was on 13 Feb. We couldn't wait!
From another picture of the poop in diaper we showed him, the PD assured us it was ok as the consistency was alright (breastfed babies have grainy stools). He suspected that the increase in frequency was due to a change in my diet or change in formula... Hmmm, there were quite a lot of variables actually e.g a new formula can, varied milk proportion, new things that I consume...He prescribed rid wind (0.5ml every 6hrly) and probiotics (5 drops daily) for her. DC thought it was due to the NAN mum's milk that I just started taking every morning. Will stop the consumption of the mom's milk to see if it will stabilise...

Yet another miscommunication
We wanted the maid to cook herbal chicken soup for myself. The herbs were pre-packed by the confinement lady and I told her to use the chicken drumstick for the soup and the chicken wings to cook with potatoes.
In the evening, I saw the cut winter melons and knew something was wrong. After checking with the maid, I found out that she used the chicken for the soup and intend to cook winter melon soup for all! I quickly told her to add in some wolfberries and dates for taste. The soup turned out to be quite a disappointment, the taste is quite weird.
What I wanted but got for dinner tonight:
Herbal chicken soup -> Winter melon chicken soup with added chicken wings
Chicken wings with potatoes -> Chicken slices with potatoes
Well, at least the chicken slices with potatoes is acceptable.

Baby B's Photo Shoot Preview
We took B for her newborn photo shoot today. We brought A along for the family photo too. :)
B was alert throughout and we had difficulty capturing her closed eyes shots (just like her brother when he was 1 month old!). The funny thing is she fell asleep immediately after we stepped out of the studio!
I kept A occupied with his cars. He got sleepy towards the end of the session and we had to leave early. If not, I would have requested the photographer to take some pictures of him!
Here's the preview of the session:

CNY Gathering
DC brought us to his CNY gathering at the HR Director's newly renovated house. I met them a number of times each year and knew most of them there... They love our A too. :)
DC forgot the CNY oranges (and I thought he purposely didn't want to bring them as he earlier said there was no need to when I reminded him. He thought it was only a normal gathering although it was held during the CNY.) Luckily we met his colleague outside who brought his oranges and we went in with him and the oranges. :P
We had the lo hei there, A also joined in the fun. Not new to lo hei, he knows exactly what to do!
The four storey house is BIG and A has a terrific time running in and out the car porch and climbing up and down the stairs! We were very tired chasing him around but happy to see him enjoy himself so much. However, it's a pity DC didn't have much time interacting with his colleagues then!
We brought our maid there too. She was probably the most comfortable one of us three! DC had to run around with our son and I had to follow behind them with my daughter while our maid stayed in the air-conditioned entertainment room with a packet of red date tea, watched HK drama on the TV, had time to eat her good lunch and even received a red packet! This makes me wonder if we need to review her work scope and assigned her with more child caring work esp when we are outside? Hmm...

3-in-1 soup
This is the first time we ask our maid to cook soup...
This is what she prepared:
DC asked for winter melon with carrot. She used only half the melon but added in potatoes, onions and went market to buy a lotus root specially for the soup.
We had winter melon soup, ABC soup and lotus root soup (3 kinds of soup) mixed into one for dinner tonight! Fortunately, it was quite drinkable.

It was A's first outing with the school. He was especially happy when he came home that day! :)

捞啊！捞啊！
Today's 人日 and everyone in Singapore eats 鱼生 on this day.
Love this dish but unfortunately, I'm just out of confinement and still breastfeeding, so was unable to enjoy this with the rest as the dish contains raw fish.
A certainly loves the crackers and the tossing! He remembers it from last year! It's his 2nd time tossing this CNY and he shouted 捞啊！捞啊！ with us and repeat some of the greetings with us... so cute!
