My blog has been dead for more than a month! Guess you would have known by now that motherhood has indeed consumed me. Since my last update was about my first week experience with baby Adele, I should give a brief update on Adele's progress from second week till now - 8th week!
The confinement period has certainly provided a much needed rest and aided in my speedy recuperation. The food is quite to my taste, unlike some who simply disliked confinement food due to the lack of variety and the heatiness caused to the body. Of course, it was also atributed to the fact that my mum, who was my "confinement lady" was creative and took extra efforts in planning my confinement dishes. Though I did enjoy my confinement, I very much looked forward to its end when I could get out of the house, meet people and do some shopping.
Adele has grown healthly in the first month with a weight increase of 1.3 kg from birth weight of 2.7 kg to 4 kg. This came as a surprise to me cos' she seems to have a small appetite and would sometime prefer sleep over a full feed.
Much to our delight, she is quite a well behaved and predictable baby, sleeping well at night and waking at every 3 hour interval for her feed. She loves water and enjoys taking her bath. Perhaps we can start her off with swimming lessons at an early age. It's so interesting to watch her after a bath cos' she will be so cheerful then and her eyes glancing around and her mouth making sounds such as "oohs.. ahs...". Into her 7th week, she has learnt to focus on our face and other close distant objects, and even respond to us with her little baby talk.
