Size 1 Diaper

Wyatt used up 2 packs of Pampers 54 size 1 diapers (108).

Alice's 2nd Birthday

This time it was Elmo theme.  There were handmade Elmo pianta, cup cakes, and cake.  Many people were invited.  I think kids had lots of fun.  

Yumi and I were breast feeding in Alice's room.  Rion does the same as Wyatt (eat and poop a lot, waste a lot of diapers, and poop poop is really stinky!).  

New Words

Ethan knows "happy", "pa pa" = grandpa, pillow.

Nails

I filed Wyatt's nails on Sunday, 7/19.  I cut his nails today for the first time.

Size 1 Diaper

Wyatt used up 1 pack of Pampers 54 size 1 diapers.

2 Year Check Up

Ethan had his 2 year check up today.  He got a shot (hepatitis A).  His weight was 33.5 lbs (90 - 95 %), height was 37" (95 - 97 %), and head was 48.5 cm (50 %).

Diapers

Wyatt already used up 93 new born diapers (20+36+36) + 1 free sample.  Now he's using size 1 diaper.  Daddy said he doesn't want to buy new born diapers cuz it's more expensive than size 1 diapers.

Bath

We bathe Wyatt for the first time on 7/18.  We were waiting for his umbilical cord to fall off.  

Poop Poop

Since day 1, Wyatt's poop poop stinks so badly.  He poops a lot.  Sometimes he would poop right after you changed his diaper.  I breastfed him around 11:30 on July 10th and he didn't want to drink til 5 or 6 hours later.  When we were at the hospital, he would drink every 3 hrs or so.  After we came home, he drinks anywhere from 1.5 hr - 2.5 hrs.  

Last night, I didn't go to bed til closed to 2 am.  Wyatt kept wanting to drink.  I tried pacifier and it worked for few minutes.  I think he wasn't hungry, he just wanted something in his mouth.   

New Born Diapers

So far Baby Wyatt used up 20 Pampers new born diapers (the ones hospital gave) and 36 Huggies new born diapers (the ones Q bought).  He is using 2nd size 1 Pamper Diaper now.  I asked Eric to buy new born diapers because size 1 is too big.  

Umbilical Cord

Wyatt's umbilical cord fell off on 7/15.

New Born Check Up

We took Wyatt for the return check up on 7/14.  His birth weigh was 6 lbs 12 oz and he weighed 6 lbs 8 oz  (10%), height: 19.5 inches (32%), head: 34.5 cm (20%) on 7/14.  

Baby Wyatt

Wyatt was born at 10:03 am on Friday. He was 6 lbs 12.3 oz (3071 grams) and 19 inches long. His older brother Ethan was 6 lbs 11.7 oz (3054 grams) and 19 inches long. I had the same delivery room, room 509.

My check up with doctor was on Thursday 7/9. Doctor said I was almost 4 cm dilate and 80% thin. I told her that my husband thinks baby will born on the same day as his older brother which is the next day 7/10. She said if we want to, she can schedule me to deliver tomorrow. So we did. She scheduled us to go in at 5 am. 

This time it wasn't as easy as the first time. I started to count contractions at 12 midnight (since I couldn't sleep...too excited). They were about 3-4 minutes apart. We checked in at the hospital around 1:40 am or so. My water didn't break so it took a long time. I thought doctor would break my water so I would dilate faster. I was 8 cm and I wanted to push. Nurse kept telling me to wait til 10 cm but I couldn't. When you want to push, it's hard to stop because when you have contraction, it helps to release pressure by pushing. I think I pushed 2nd time or something and water broke (gush out) so nurse finally called my doctor. She told me not to push but I couldn't help it. Eric said I pushed 2 times and baby came out. So, I delivered my baby without doctor there. My doctor came after few minutes to stitch me up because I had 2nd degree tear (like last time). This time local anesthetic didn't help much. I could feel the pain when doctor tried to stitch me. 

Afterwards I felt ok and nurse helped me to stand up and go to restroom. I didn't feel dizzy the first time. The 2nd and 3rd time I went to restroom by myself, I thought I was gonna pass out. My head was spinning like crazy and I had cold sweat. I felt awful. I felt dizzy because a lot of blood and blood clots came out at once. So I told the nurse and they tried to find out why I bled so much. She kept pressing on my tummy and blood and blood clots came out. It really hurts when she did that. They gave me a shot on my thigh to stop the bleeding but I still bled more than normal. My doctor came after she's done with her patients at the clinic. She told nurse to push me to operating room so she could examine me closely. I had anesthetic through the spine. I was out of operating room about 40 min or so. Doctor told Eric that I ruptured a vein on the top left of my vagina which required 2 stitches. After she stitched me up, my bleeding was at normal rate. 

We left the hospital the next day because we missed Ethan and hospital bed is not comfortable. Every time when he woke up, he would look for us and felt sad that he didn't see us. 

Ethan was happy to see us and his little brother Wyatt. He kept saying baby, baby.

Hospital food wasn't good this time...disappointed.  I was looking forward for the food and French toast. 

Wyatt loves to drink milk, so we don't think he'll have jaundice.

We Are Having a Baby

I went to doctor today. She said I'm almost 4 cm dilate and 80% thin. I told her that Eric thinks baby will come out on Ethan's birthday which is tomorrow on 7/10. She said we can do that if we want to. So, she scheduled for us to go in tomorrow morning at 5. I told her I heard induce is painful. She said not really, she'll just pop my water to help the process. I hope she's right!!! I wonder if my water will break itself like last time. I don't really want to get induce.

I am excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to see my baby but afraid I'll feel the pain @_@

New Words

Today is the first time we heard Ethan said "rabbit". He says "so" = soda cuz he loves to drink it. He can say "tea", "rice", "fan fan" = rice, "truck"...etc etc.

Advanced Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Ethan's 2nd birthday at in laws'.  Ethan got a "Car" ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins (I think Aunty Nhi bought it).  Ethan got a remote control car from Aunty Carina, a remote car and Cars from Uncle Tri.

I'm thinking to make him a cake on his actual birthday.  Ethan hasn't open the presents that Mommy and Daddy bought.
