38wks n 1 day/8wks n 3days old: my baby is a warrior!

So some exciting updates on my lil warrior(: 

-she was moved to the high dependency ward last Friday (6/6) 
-she's in her own suite 
-she is on bottle feeds for every meal nw 
-the most she has drank was 41ml out of her 58ml! 
-she's nw being seen by a speech therapist who guides her in her feeds wif the bottle 
-she drinks abt 11-17ml on most feeds 
-she got off her oxygen aid 2 days ago (11/6) !! Yay! N she's doing absolutely well! Even during her feeds her vital stats are gd 
-I bathed her for the 1st time yesterday! (12/6) 
-n the speech therapist taught me hw to feed her by the bottle yesterday too! 

I've accomplished 2 milestones wif baby gwyn yesterday! It was a huge day for me (: we hav become more independent (lesser help by the nurses; changing her diapers, swaddling her, bathing her, feeding her)... These are milestones we need to overcome in order to be prepared to take her home. This Sunday we are attending a mandatory CPR lesson n we were told by past preemie mummies tt when they inform u to attend this class... Baby will be gg home real soon! So yay(((: 

Super excited cuz we hav realli come so far as a family! It's a journey tt has made us stronger n taught us abt patience, optimistism n learning hw to trust. We hav so much things to do!! N since we will be staying at Sean's for the 1st mth.. We realli hav ALOT of packing to do since we havnt been back home in 2mths! It's like a war zone thr cuz we hav baby stuffs everywhr in the room!! Ahh stress but excited max! 

This was the day she pooped so many times n she gave me this cheeky face 

Baby n mummy (: 


The day my husband n I went for brunch! I had mad craving for eggs. Eggs Ben was awwwwweeesommeeee! 

This cutie loves to make this face! Hahahaha her signature pout 

Then daddy said "eh stop making the kissy face! Who u wanna kiss huh!" LOL
