Fourth week – Richie growing up fast


Richie is growing up fast into a cute young boy. His demand for milk is increasing. He cries loudly when he is very hungry. He likes to sleep on his side with his hands over his forehead or sometimes in a ‘W’ position with his head on one side. He gets hiccups 2-3 times a day, same as the way he was getting when he was in my tummy. He stares at new people and seems like he tries to remember new faces. I guess he keeps thinking something as he is always in a thinking position with his hands on his chin. ;)

These days dada also is helping out with nappy changes and taking care of oil massage and bath. GREAT DAD!! Richie enjoys his bath and sleeps during oil massage and in the bath tub. he he he ..cool isn’t it? ;)

I also had a 1 month checkup this week, though a little in advance. The doctor said my uterus was coming back to normal and my body was getting in shape well. There were no concerns whatsoever. :)

This week we had a visitor. The health center volunteer came over as a part of their routine checkups for babies. She gave me lots of tips on caring for a baby. It was very helpful to know what problems other first time moms face and how they tackle them. I realized that all the new moms were in the same boat. Everyone goes through a similar phase and what matters most is the positive outlook in every situation. As we are in a foreign land, it was also very beneficial to know the various facilities provided for child raising in our area.
