Valentine's day

This year's Valentine's day is different from past year. Now with 2 kids, especially a newborn whose scehule has not been fixed, Daddy and Mommy can't have much of a coupletime over some candlelight dinner. In fact, it's a day running errands. Abel went for his 1 month jab at the PD in the morning. At 5.5 weeks old, Abel weighs 3.7kg, measures 52.5cm in length and a head circumference of 38cm. He's on the small side and Mommy was wondering he was having enough though the PD didn't really make special mention. However, since Abel latches on directly, it was difficult to tell. We will probably be back 2 weeks' time for a review. Meanwhile, Mommy will have to work hard expressing after feeds to simulate more production. Afterwhich, Mommy had to pick up some cakes at United Square and go down to her office to settle administrative matters. Eventhough we had prebooked to loan Nei Nei's car, it went out even before we managed to see it in the morning. There went the reliability of prebooking and we had just had to make do with tsking a taxi with little Abel in tow. Our plan to pick up Daddy, Mommy and Keziah's studioshot was also cancelled as we didn't want to cram too much without the ease of a vehicle and having to wave down a cab in the hot sun with little Abel. Thank God the weather was actually quite fine with no blazing sun for this short 'excursion'.

After all was done, we cabbed back to United Square to buy some pump accessories and have lunch. Mommy fed Abel in the nursing room and of all things, Abel threw up quite a bit of milk for the first time after burping. Thankfully the episode didn't repeat itself. Not sure if it's cause his little body just isn't used to this running around on buses and taxi. Abel slept quite abit today to allow Mommy and Daddy some time for lunch at the Soup Restaurant (Mommy's favourite) while slinging him. Simple affair but a nice time eating together finally after Mommy delivered Abel.

Finally the day ended with some sweet cakes from BakersInz in the night after all the little ones went to bed. Daddy and Mommy finally had some short chat and rest our feet before going to bed.
