Delivered Z-Ann (weighing 2.95kg) on the 3rd March 2009 at 831am via c-sect. Delivery was smooth and recovery was superb! She had 2 cords round her neck and 2 rounding her legs. She was a little jaundice, at 3rd day her level was 7.1, so discharged her and took her back to test her blood at day 5, level went up tp 13.5, then test again on day 6 it came down to 12.2. At day 8 the nurse came to check and asked to tst her blood for jaundice again, however her level at day 9 was 9.1 and was asked to check again on day 11 which dropped to 6.5. Phew... poor little girl's heel was pricked 5 times altogether! OUCH!!!
SHe's feeding well and has been a calm and good baby, didn't make much fuss though hope she'll be like this throughout her infant year. Initially when discharged she was drinking 1 oz every 2 to 3 hourly, then increased to 2 and these two days she's taking 3 oz per meal 3 hourly... i am feeling like a cow, expressing whole day as i can't latch her well, so guess i am gonna express exclusive for her... Her weight has dropped a bit on the 10th day to 2.5 kg when the nurse weighed her but nothing alarming as this is usually due to the loss of water after birth.
The two brothers are coping well and behaved well too after the arrival of their lil sister, thank goodness both loved her very much and will do anything for their sister.
