Jaundice; Icterus (黃疸)

Today, we are ready to bring Andrew to have his first shot at the hospital. When we were ready to leave home, Andrew's face was very yellow. When we arrived to the hospital, the nurse and the doctor suggested us to have a blood test for Jaundice; Icterus (黃疸). After one hour, the result came out. Andrew's jaundice is very high. he came out as 18. Normally is 15. Doctor suggested me that Andrew has to be at the hospital for three days. I am very worrying since then. I am hopping that everything should be fine. I just miss him when he is not at home now.
Alan also misses his little brother.

Welcome Andrew !！

In the morning of Feb. 8th, i did not even think, I will deliver my baby. In the morning of this day, I had my little blood. I run throw the hospital right away.

When I arrived at the hospital, I was not even have any contractions or anything like that. The nurse put machine on top of my stomache to see the baby's heart beat and my uterus contractions.
The nurse asked me to go for a little walk and come back to the hospital in the afternoon. In the afternoon, I did not have any pain, so the nurse and the doctor asked me to go home.

After going home, not too long ago, I started to feel more pain and I started to take shower and wash my hair. After everything is done, I was ready to go to the hospital. David came back right away. When I arrived in the evening to the hospial, things got worse and worse. My pain is stronger and stronger. I did not even think that Andrew will come today.

At 9 PM something in the evening, the nurse pushed me inside of the delivery room. Alan came out 10 PM something in the evening. It was painful delivery but everything was paid off after that. When I see him after that, I was so happy.

Andrew looks like Alan when he was little. Both brothers look like the same. Both sons look like their father.

Andrew likes to cry very much. he cries when he is hungry. he cries when he is wet. he cries when he needs company. Everyone loves Andrew very much. I love him also. Thanks to present of life gave me this little child to be my son.

My Tummy, 37 Weeks

My tummy now in these days is getting bigger and bigger, heavier and heavier. It is difficult to move to one place now. Even it is hard to go to many places.

After I felt that my baby is having less movement, and my uterus contraction is very often, the doctor suggested me to stay in bed for a whole day long. It is hard for me to stay in bed and do nothing. I am usually do many thing, and stay inactive is hard for me.
Andrew likes to move to one side of my tummy. He likes that side I do not know why. He is very active child always moving and kicking. I cannot wait to meet him when he comes out.Will he look like me or my husband? According to the ultrasound, he looks like more to my hsuband not me.  

Andrew

Now Andrew is 37 weeks. The doctor said that Andrew can come out at any time, I have to pay attention to his movements. I do not want him to come out before Chinese New Year, otherwise, he won't be a little tiger. he will be a little cow.

I am talking to Andrew saying that Mommy wants him to come out after Chinese New year. He doesn't have any reaction. I do not know if he listens to me or not. Anyways, everything is life. Above wants to let out, he will be out. If above ordered him to come out after Chinese New year, He will be after Chinese New year.

After 10 years, I am having another child. My oldest son and this son are 10 years apart. Alan is a big boy now, he knows how to help me all the time.

Now, my stomach is getting bigger and bigger, heavier and heavier. It is hard for me to get some sleep during night time. My Andrew is kicking and kicking inside of me. It is really hard , very hard, but my due date will come soon. I will enjoy my presence of Andrew soon.

Andrew 37 Weeks

Now, I have to go to the hospital each week for check up, until the day I am delivering my baby. Now, Andrew is 2,553. He gained 153 grams.

My uterus contraction is getting much better. I guess, I was tired arranging my house also with school final tests, there's no time to take a rest o have a good sleep. I need to take more sleep and relax, so my tummy and Andrew will get much better.

I am glad that Andrew is better now, the doctor said, he changed his position to be ready to come out. His head is down already. I am very happy to hear good news from the doctor. Now I have to pay attention to my body for contractions, or bleeding or water broke.
