Time passed very fast especially the past 2.5 months. Finally i am back at work as i am reserving 8 days of leave to keep it for my shifting of house which will probably takes place in may/june. :-)
First day of work, I woke up @ 7am and express out the breastmilk before we left the house. After packing up, we left the house at 8+am and drove to my parents place to leave my darling there. I reach office at around 9.15am although official office hour is 8.30am and it's quite norm to see people start going to office at around 9am onwards. :-p
Few things that my colleagues noticed about me was :
1. Slim down -Yesh! ;-p But still have few more kilos to loose before i am back at my pre-pregnancy weight
2. New hairstyle - Everyone say i look nice.. hehe...
Then the next thing was i ask another dept colleague where's the "nursing room" in my office floor. ;-) This is very important else no need to express breastmilk liao. She was breastfeeding few months back and only stop when her baby was about 6-7 months. She showed me the server room in our floor and also orientate me on what to do and use in the room. Besides the server room, she told me that another room is the EVP meeting room where i can only use it when the server room is not available to us. Well, was quite weird to use the server room with a few server racks, server running and tonnes of boxes here and there but no better place to hide so just do with it bah.... ;-) Her colleague passed me the key too for my convenience.
After checking out the "nursing room", my assistant aka coverer during my absence came over to update me on all the products that are under my care. I am kinda overwhelm with the tonnes of info which i seems to have lost touch. And I am struggling to stay awake while she tried to explain to me a list of stuffs to follow up. Anyway, the entire afternoon was really tiring and challenging for me to focus.
I also managed to grab some time after lunch to hide in the "nursing room" and spent only 15mins to get 150ml. To me, that is my quota for that hour. Prior to this, i have adjusted my expressing intervals to 3 times a day - 7am, 2pm and 10pm. My supply has started to decrease eversince i reduce the expressing interval to 7-8hours. Thus, we started to supplement with 1 packet of "spare tank-EBM(Frozen breast milk) " and the last feed at midnight with formula milk since last week. So my daily supply + 1 packet of FBMis sufficient for her 7 feeds of 5oz breastmilk + 1 feed of 5oz formula milk.
When i reach my parents place in the evening, my parents were telling me that my darling seems to know that i wasn't around the whole day. She cried very badly when my dad asked her "where is mummy?" and it took them a long time to settle her down. She was very happy the minute she saw me back at my parents place and got lots of things to tell me. Oh did i mention before that my little princess likes to talk very much now? Well, she enjoy chit-chatting with us. Although her reply is her ah... oh.... arlo.... baby language but she enjoy talking and smiling at the same time. Every morning after the first feed of the day, we will leave her on the cot and proceed to do our stuff but she want us to talk to her! Aiyo.... once she sense no one in the room, she will make noise(not crying) like Eh to get our attention and when we talk to her, she will smile happily back and talk her baby language to us. I wonder what is the first official word that she will say in few months time.... ;p
Other stuffs that we observe on her were
1) when i attempt to put her on tummy, she will kiss the bed and saliva started to drip... yucks! :p
2) she definitely has grown fatter and longer!
3) she likes to hold her own pacifier and push my hand off when she managed to suck the pacifier
4) she likes to suck her mitten until it's totally wet so we decided to remove her mittens and she enjoy sucking her thumb and index finger. My mum says she love both mummy and daddy cos thumb = daddy and index finger = mummy... haha.. anyway she's already sucking her fingers when we did the 1st trimester scan. ;-p
5) she will scratch her head and eyes before falling asleep on her own
6) she will sleep throughout from 12am till 6-7am
7) she likes to talk
8) she moves about in her sleep and we found her in a slant position or kungfu pose in the morning
9) she likes to make bubbles with her saliva
