Sillies meeting 03-10-07

Met the girls finally, missed the previous meeting for Ling's birthday because of mooncake. Brought boy along so that he can help me with baby Dylan. Went to Din Tai Feng @ Raffles city for dinner, forgot all about photos. After dinner is Ben & Jerry's, the ice cream is really expensive, it definitely cannot be a everyday dessert affair. Darn, why am I always not taking enough photos. *grr*


See how Kelly is holding baby Dylan's head awkwardly


You cannot see me, you cannot see me, is all ur hallucination...

Whole of September

It has been more than a month since I last blog. 5 weeks after I gave birth to baby Dylan, I started working for the moon cake period. I moved back home so that mummy, daddy, and Jiayi can help me look after baby Dylan, so as to allow me to work and earn some money. Poor boy, he slept alone for the whole month. I haven’t been able to touch the PC, because for the whole month, my daily routine is work, look after baby Dylan, catch my sleep and that left me with no more time for other things. I got so many things to write that I have no idea which to start with.

Dosage mistake

Sent boy and Rujie to work before baby Dylan's checkup at NUH yesterday. PIE is always in a slow traffic mode when you are in a rush, they are late for work for 10 minutes, wonder if they will get nag at. It is not my fault, it is the sleepy monster. I woke up the earliest, 6.30 am, to feed, to get ready to go out.

Baby Dylan's checkup is 8.45 am, it was 9.30 am by the time I see the doctor. I was shocked to hear that at the previous visit to the hospital, the nurse and the doctor had a miscommunication with the dosage of the medication. The dosage to be given daily to baby Dylan should be ¾ tablet, but the nurse and the doctor got a communication problem and told me to give 1 and half tablet daily. That is totally absurd, how can this kind of mistake occur? The doctor did assure me that the difference will not affect anything, taking more of the thyroxine will not affect anything, only taking not enough will affect. I am not the doctor, so I lanlan already la! So I asked what the purpose of yesterday's doctor’s visit, answer is: to check that the baby is well. Nothing much is done, I felt that the visit is pretty redundant except for the dosage shock I get.

I am to return to the hospital again 2 weeks later on 29th August, 10.40 am, only then there will be blood test to determine whether to increase or decrease the dosage of the thyroxine. As for the next visit, Jiayi accompany me go ok? Because by then, I would have move back home already.

Baby Dylan is quite cranky for the past few days, he wants attention when he is awake, and wants to be carried. I had a hard time trying to coax him to sleep so that I can rest or do other things. Finally he is sleeping now, or else I wouldn't even have the time to blog now.
