Umbilical Cord

Justin's umbilical cord finally fell off today. I don't know how it fell off. It probably got caught on cotton towel.

1 Week Check Up

Justin had a check up today at 3:40. He weighed 6 lbs 5 oz. Doctor said Justin looked fine and he'll see him in 2 months. After doctor's appointment, we went to Target, Costco, T & L Food Inc (but it was closed), 99 Ranch, and Zion. We bought size 1 diaper from Target, bought milk, Hawaiian rolls, and water from Costco, bought chicken hearts and livers from 99 Ranch, and bought black sesame oil from Zion.

Diaper Size - Justin

Justin used up 54 newborn diapers (20 Pampers Swaddlers New Baby Newborn from the hospital + 34 Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive Newborn - Q bought). We didn't buy any newborn diapers so he is using size 1 diaper (Pampers Swaddlers New Baby) from today. Size 1 diaper is way too big for him. When I held him up to feed him around 8 pm, he was all soaking wet with pee pee hehehe. As I wiped him down with warm water, he cried and cried =P

Justin's Voice

On the first day, Justin sounded like a little kitten. Toward the end of second day, he sounded like a squealing pig. Then after that he sounded like a tiger hehehe. His volume got louder and louder. So far he's been a good baby. He cries when you change his diaper because he doesn't want his private part to be expose (he doesn't want it to feel cold).

3 Days Check Up

On Monday, August 8 around 7:30 am Dr. Goldfinger came to check on Justin. He said he would like to see Justin 2-3 days because Justin had a minor jaundice (5.3). We took him to see Dr. Goldfinger today at 11:20 and his jaundice was 7. something. Even though jaundice level went up, he was still in the minor range. Dr. Goldfinger said everything looked well and he would like to see him on Monday, August 15. He weighed 5 lbs 10 oz.

We showed Dr. Goldfinger Justin's socks which he peeped on. We didn't know why his pee pee had some red color. Dr. Goldfinger said it's perfectly fine. It's red because he didn't pee for awhile and it changed to red crystal...etc.

Welcome to the World Justin

I only slept few hours each day lately. I woke up before 6 and started to have contractions frequently. I decided to drink milk, eat cookies, and one Hawaiian roll. As I was drinking and eating, I kept having contractions. So, I decided to time them. They were 1-2 minutes apart. I decided to wake up Eric and tell him to get ready. I told him, "Let's go". He asked, "Why, are you having contractions?" I said, "yes!". He asked, "Are they 5 minutes apart?" I said, "No, more like 1-2 minutes." Then, he finally decided to get up. We got ready and dropped Ethan and Wyatt off at my mom's. On the way to the hospital, my contractions came less frequent (more like 3-5 min apart).

We got to Pomerado around 8 AM something. I told them I am having contractions and that my doctor is Dr. Chang. Then, I saw Dr. Chang. She happened to be on duty. Nurse Megan took me to the observation room and checked me and said, I was about 4-5 cm dilated. She said, I'm definitely having a baby. Then, we checked into Room 510 (right next to 509 where I delivered both Ethan and Wyatt). That room was occupied or else they could put me in that room. Eric asked his sister Nhi to come to the hospital to take pictures for us. She came around 9 something.

Around 10:10 AM, Dr. Chang came and asked how I was doing and asked if I wanted to walk around. I said, "Ok." She said she wanted to check me before she lets me walk around. She said, I was already 7 cm dilated and not good to walk around. Then around 11:45 AM, I asked Nurse Megan to check me. She said I was about 8-9 cm dilated and she would come back to check on me again in 30 minutes. I asked if I could have the medication stuff through IV. She said it's too late. The only thing I could have is epidural. When she came back, she said, "You are 10 cm dilated...oh wait only 9 cm, the top part is not fully dilated yet." She told me to give a little push when the next contraction comes. Then she left again. About few minutes later, I told Eric to go get nurse because I wanted to push!!! She hurried and call Dr. Chang to come and told me to wait. I tried my hardest to wait and wait and not to push. When Dr. Chang came, I think I held back two contractions (tried not to push) and finally gave up. On the 3rd contractions, I PUSHED, and my water broke and baby came right out. My legs weren't even on the two thinging. =P Dr. Chang injected local anesthetic and then stitched me up. She said I had 2nd degree tear (not too bad). I could feel the anesthetic and stitches =/

Justin was born on August 7 at 12:33 pm, weighed 5 lbs 15 oz and 17.5 inches long. He was sooo tiny. For the first hour or so, Justin was naked with diaper on. Nurse wanted us to do skin to skin. I nursed him about 10 min on each breast. Then my lunch came (it was taco salad, beef chili...). Then Nurse Megan bathed Justin. Of course he cried and cried...I think all babies don't like to be bath at first. After Nurse Megan put diaper on Justin, he was holding on to the clip that was clamp to his umbilical cord. She said she never saw any babies do that. Justin loves to grab on stuffs. He has firm grip.
