Gingerbreadkid, the first 2 weeks

Introducing Gingerbreadkid:





















This Changes Everything.
It's 3 things in one body. It''s a crying machine, a pooping machine and a sleeping machine all rolled into one!

He's close to 2 weeks old now. He looks so angelic right, but don't be deceived! When he cries, it is like Banshee screaming. Some days even when he's fed, burped, diaper changed, he still cries a lot. It drove us crazy the first week, but now we are slowly learning to get used to it.

His daily routine goes like this: Sleep, wake up and cry, drink milk, poop. Rinse and repeat every 2 to 3 hours round. No pause, no let up, no advertisement break, no intermission.

Anyway, personally I have done the following:
1) Change diaper
2) Make the milk, feed him then burp him
3) Rock him to sleep
4) Sing to him

The only thing I have not done is bathe him. That's because he seems to hate bathing with a passion. Whenever he is being bathed, his arms and legs thrashed around and he cries so loud I'm sure the neighbours considered calling the police for child abuse.

PS. I hope someone got the Apple reference.

  1. Well done, bro!:) I'm sure Ginger appreciates all the effort you put in. As for the bathing part, I also didn't bathe my boys the first couple of weeks, but its more coz i know i'll take too long (OCD mah:P), and infants shouldn't be exposed in water for long periods. Noel is so adorable, hor... wait till he starts to move himself:)
