Justin's second check-up

Justin had his second check-up today. I was so excited for this day. Because I want to know Justin's weight and height. I noticed that Justin growed a lot for his cheeks are bigger.

We arrived at the clinic at around 2:30pm. The first thing we did is to weigh Justin. To our surprise Justin had a dramatic increase. From 3 kilos he now weighs 5.2 kilos. If we translate it to pounds it was from 6.6 lbs to a whooping 11.44 lbs. I was expecting Justin to increase 2 lbs only. But to our surprise he gained 5 lbs. We're so happy with his improvements. On the other hand, Justin's height increase from 49cm to 58cm. That was a 10cm increase.

Justin also had his 2nd vaccine today which was the Hepatitis B vaccine.

Justin really growed a lot in 1 month time. He becomes more adorable each day.

Popsmear and Family Planning

Michelle had her last scheduled check-up with Dra. Lety Chua today. She been very good and helpful to us for the past 10 months. While she browse through Michelle's records she told her that "Nun nag simula tayo hanggang sa manganak ka puro ka nalang takot. Kaya na chalenge talaga ako syo". At least now everybody is happy with the result. I know somehow Michelle became a stronger person.

Michelle had her first popsmear. The result will be available next week. We hope everything will be fine. Before we leave Dra.'s clinic, she gave us a quick course in family planning. She said that we are still young, it's better that we have another child after 2 years. According to Dra. Lety Chua 7 days before and after the first day of Michelle's period is safe. She suggested that we use Rhythm method, abstinence or use condom.

Justin's first pajama

It's the first time that Justin wore pajama's. He always sleep with his diaper and he's wrapped in a lampin. We have lots of old cloths and pajamas but it seems to be so big. Today we tried to let him wear the pooh shirt which was given to us during Michelle's baby shower. To our surprise, it fits well. We never imagined that it will fit Justine. Though the pajama pants is too big and we have to make it high waisted up to above Justin's stomach. Our baby is really growing very fast. And I'm so happy about it.

Second night with Justin

Last night I had a chance to sleep with Justin again. That night was different from the first one. When Justin was brought to our room, he doesn't want to sleep. No matter what you do or cuddle him, he keeps on crying. At around 12pm Michelle carried him and he was able to sleep for a while. During that time I was able to nap for a while too. But when she put him on the bed Justin started to crying again. I prepared milk and place Justin on my chest to burp. While doing that, he was able to sleep on my chest and he just stayed there for hours. At 5:30am yaya is already awake and he took Justin to his room. At that time Michelle and I was able to sleep for an hours. It was really a tyring and sleepy experience but for me, no regret at all. It's ok for me to feel sleepy the whole day as long as I was able to take care of my baby.

That morning yaya said that he just take care of Justin tonight. She pity us because we are not able to sleep last night.

Two nights of sleepless night was a tough experience. But im looking forward to take care of Justin at night. Maybe when he grows a little bit bigger so that won't be that hard to take care of him.

First sleep with Justin

I really hate it when I have colds and cough. Last week when Justin is about to go home, I have colds. Because of this, I cannot have Justin sleep with us for he might get infected. Finally after one week, I'm all ok now.

Justin slept with us last night for the first time. I really wanted to experience talking care of Justin at night. Prepare milk when he's hungry, cuddle him when he's crying and changing diapers. I was able to experience all these last night. All I can say is Im so sleepy today. Talking care of Justin is not so hard. Except that he keeps on making some noise when he sleeps. Which made me not been able to sleep well. Im worried that something bad had happen that's why he's making some noises. Talking care of a new born baby is not a joke. But for me experiencing all these happen gave me a lot of experiences. I wanted to repeat this experience tonight.

Photo shoot with Justin

We are able to take lots of photos of Justin today. Since he almost slept the whole day yesterday, we took picture of him with his 1 month old cake today. We also have our first family picture with Justin with his cake. Was able to take some pictures of Justin with his grandpa and grandma, Kathy and Sedy.

Justin's first nail cut

Today yaya rose cut Justin's finger nail. I was so mad because she did not even inform me. I was not able to take a video and photo of his first nail cut. But instead I only got a photo of his hands after cutting his nails. Though we are able to keep his first finger nails.

Justin's first month

Justin turned 1 month old today. We planned to buy a cake this evening and have some photo shoot with him. Unfortunately, when we got home, Justin is already sleeping. He was deeply asleep and no matter how you touch him, he doesn't want to wake up. It was a sad day for me, for I cannot take a picture of him today with his 1 month old cake. I waited until midnight but he is still asleep.

Will just be talking picture of Justin with the cake tomorrow.

Justin's home sweet home

I went to Michelle house early today to fetch Justin and Michelle. They are about to go home today. Everyone in our house is very excited to see Justin. We left at 10:00am and went straight to my Uncle's house before going home, for they want to see Justin. When we got home, my 2 year old niece Sophia is so excited with Justin. She keeps on saying "baby, baby, baby".

I'm sure today would be the start of something new in our lives. New routines, new responsibilities, new challenges and new exciting things to watch out for.
