Day 3 : Feeding Time

Arianne is on breast milk but due to the time needed for the milk to be developed, the nurse will feed her as and when Arianne needs it. She is on a regular dose of breast milk almost once every 2 hours. Fionne is finding it tough to manage initially as it can get very painful. Her nipple cracked and became very sore. Its never easy to conceive and deliver a baby and in fact the nightmare hasnt ended as its only the beginning. We both have been having sleepless night in Shanghai having to baby sit Arianne. We are still ok as we have good nurses to assist but when saturday comes, we are on our own.

Day 3 : Arianne having her 2nd Bath

The nurse came rather early today to take Arianne to the baby shower room where she was cleaned and given new clothings. I was enjoying myself watching her experiencing bathing for the 2nd time. Dont think she knows what was going on but one thing for sure she wasnt really enjoying it as she cried most of the time.

Day 2 : Brandon and Arianne

Brandon and our maid came to visit us last night. It was a very special occasion as my son, Brandon is meeting her baby sister face to face for the 1st time and i m sure Arianne is eager to meet her brother too. Check out for Brandon cuddling to Arianne below. They both look so adorable.

Fionne's condition has improved alot yesterday as she was able to get up and walk a little. She started consuming barley water and had bananas too. She has yet to really start eating solid food as she was told not to eat anything solid until thursday.

Day 2 : Arianne's First Bath

Arianne just had her 1st bath. Must had been a new experience for her not knowing what to expect and not knowing why she is being cleaned. I dont think she had enjoyed it but i m sure she will gradually learn to enjoy it.

Day 2 : Video : 17/6/2008

This video clip was shot in the morning some 20 minutes ago.

Day 1 : More Images of Arianne

Some of these images were taken last night before Arianne goes to bed and some of them were taken 10 minutes ago this morning. Arianne is particularly active at 11pm and 6am similar to her activeness when she was still in Fionne's tummy. Isnt she adorable? I love her eyes...

Day 1 : Video : Just before entering the Operation Theater

This clip was taken just before the nurses pushed my wife into the Operation theater. Fionne was rather calm and totally happy about the whole ordeal she would need to go through. I was ready but frankly i was worried with tons of things going through my head mostly due to the risks and uncertainties. Seeing fionne somehow bring some calmness and the operation went smoothly. The relief came when the doctor told me that both fionne and baby arianne are ready to be pushed back out.
