Yesterday was the appointment for your 4th month, and 9 days, check up at the clinic.
Weight: 7.66kg
Length: 67cm
Head Circumfrence: 41cm
Compared to previous month, you gained about 400g, grew 2cm height and 1/2cm head. You're back on the charts, I think it was the 90th percentile, below the red line, not that it made much difference, as long as you're growing and gaining weight you're still good. I think it's because this month you've been down with a cold, phlegmy cough and wheezy breathing, which could contribute baby not gaining as mush as previous months. It's ok, mommy's concern is for you to recover from your cold. At least you only cough on occasions, the nurse said to just keep an eye, and if the coughing is reducing in frequency there's nothing to worry about and just keep you warm at nights. You already finished the rhinithol the pediatrician gave last week, so we'll see how things goes.
You had your third dose of Tetra vaccine (right thigh) and second dose of polio vaccine. All in all we were in and out of there in an hour.
We went for breakfast, daddy hadn't been to Seria Kueh Teow in a while and it was your first time there. When the waitress saw us she exclaimed, "Ada baby sudah!" ("You have a baby already!") It was interesting to watch daddy use his chopsticks because you were sitting on his right side with your right arm on daddy's arm and daddy's right handed, mommy should've had a camera then.
We then went to pick up Auntie Lin from work for an errand to do, mommy received a free bottle of honey from a honey shop because it was mommy's birthday, and on the way home you fell asleep and we decided to drop you off at grandma lambak and we head to work.
In the evening when mommy came to take you home, your grandmother said you cried so loudly in the afternoon. She held you and tried to distract you and nothing worked, eventually you fell asleep and she dare not move in case you woke up. Mommy pretty much expected that to happen, baby always get a bit sensitive and fussy every time you get a jab.
And in the evening when we went out for dinner with Auntie Choo was the same, whoever happen to be holding baby you wouldn't let them sit. As soon as they were about to sit you started wailing and only stopped when they stood back up again. So throughout the night the three of us took turns holding you and entertaining you. You managed to nap twice so that was good, mommy's always concern that you should get enough rest. The second nap happened when we left the first restaurant to go to another for dessert and baby was nursing and fell right asleep.
This morning you woke up several times just to nurse and back asleep again, gives mommy time to do the laundry. Mommy overdid on the detergent with your diapers and had to rinse it several times before I could hang them up, and do the rest of the washing. Hopefully when baby wake up your mood has improved and we'll do some reading in the afternoon and fit in a nap as well because mommy could do with one with waking up at 4 this morning...
Love,
Mommy
