Trying to put herself to sleep

By -
21wk + 3/7
Last night we were hoping that Emma would sleep longer... well because she was out with us for a work xmas party and didn't sleep much during the day...

She only woke up 4 times before finally woke up for the day..
First time at 10ish, wanted a feed and was screaming for a bit... must be some sort of tummy pain.. coz after some gas (farts) then she was fine.
Then around midnight, she woke up crying again and was screaming and screaming... didn't want food, gripe water and bonjela didn't work, then we brought out the panmol... still screaming. Tried to change her, too.. no... not nappy change either.
Just as we were getting ready to take her to the doctors, she finally passed some gas and then was happy again.
Both time when she went back to bed, she was turning onto her side, with the head tilted back... arms free.. grabbing the cloth under her head.. little scratch... then off to sleep.

I think she's found a new way of putting herself back to sleep... when her arms are free that is :P

Then again at 3:20am, wanted another feed...

5:40am... poo nappy...

Eventually 6:30 she woke up and started making little noises, I ignored her and for a long time she didn't cry... and eventually she decided she wants to be up...

She was very chatty for the whole day today... also quite sleepy.
Again we were out... and even after we got home, she was happily sleeping next to us on the portable cot mattress while we were watching TV and doing other things. That was quite nice :)

I will add a photo on this later :)

I think our little girl is slowly learning how to put herself back to sleep... still likes her dummy but if she can sleep at least 3-4 hour block at a time, it'd be really nice :)

Well, most people say that she looks more like dad; some say mum... so I put our photos onto a website for a test... Result #1 - 50/50 Result # 2 - 16% more like dad... Then I remembered that she looks more like me when I was a baby... so.. I put in my baby photo.. Result # 3 - 3% more like mum... (hmm...) Oh well :P Here we have it :P Sally

First day at Daycare

By -
Today is the first day Emma starts daycare. She will be in daycare on Tuesday and Thursdays from now. I also have the person from property management company coming over to take photos of our house for renting at 2pm. So, I was busy cleaning and tidying up the house while she's at daycare. After I got everything done and just got out of the shower, I got a call from the daycare. At first I thought, oh no... but then, they only called to let me know that Emma is okay... just in case I'm wondering but feel bad to call. So apparently she had her bottle shortly after daddy dropped her off. Then went to sleep for 2.5 hours... Had another 200ml and was playing on the floor when they called me around 12:45. She told me that Emma is a really easy baby, so far. Sounds very good! I think she behaves better there!! At home, sometimes she won't go to sleep... gets too happy... Hmm... :P At least we know she's okay in daycare... and mum is okay today, very busy actually! :P Sally

Woo finally rolling over caught on video!

By -
This morning when I was getting Emma out of the bed for her 2nd feed, I couldn't find the camera's memory card. Oh well, so I put her down for tummy time anyway and thinking, I bet she's gonna roll over this time and we'd miss it on video again! Yep! Damn! Later I found the memory card and put her on video again... but it only has 7 mins left! Bummer... I thought she might roll over just as the camera is running out of memory... no no, she didn't. Very close so many times though! But now I know what the secret is for her rolling over... She'd have one arm straight and pushing hard, the other tucked in... and she always likes to wiggle to a certain direction very hard... and babies have heavier heads :P So... she just keeps pulling towards one direction and... way she goes... rolls over. Finally... in the afternoon, when I was playing with her on tummy time again... video on... after so many close ones... she finally rolls over and caught on camera! Yah! (These p...
