An update from your daddy brings happy news.. You started on your feeding since Monday. However little is the amount, it is still a good start. On Monday, you were fed 1ml of milk every 2 hours. Yesterday, it had increased to 2ml of milk in every 2 hours. Poor baby, you must have been starving for the past 1 week. No worries... you can start enjoying your mummy's breast milk from now on. Your daddy and mummy have taken great effort to ensure that you have sufficient breast milk once you start on your feeding.
Your mummy started trying from Day 2 to make sure that the flow will be sufficient for you and your daddy has been bringing the milk down to the hospital everyday without fail. We were all just waiting for the day that you can start your feeding and start putting on some weight. Since your first feeding, you have consistently put on 20g each day. Your weight shoud be at 1.290kg as of yesterday. Remember to eat more in the days to come and we will be waiting for the day that you weigh 2kg.
Everyone in the families is waiting for the day that we can see you. Don't make us wait too long, okie? : )

Jayden, Our Brave Warrior!
A quote from your mummy (the power of mother-child connection):
"It's Jayden who taught me to be strong. He has persisted so much and come so far. No way am I gonna let him down now."
Baby Jayden, you had been scaring us enough for the past 8 months. Please stop doing that. You are young but Aunt Addy is not. Sooner or later, I will die of heart-attack caused by you... :P
You were born on 16 June 2007, Saturday, at 10:01am. You were 2 months ahead of your due date so your weight is only at 1.230kg. You managed to frighten all of us 1 hour before you are born though. Your mummy was admitted into the hospital cos' her BP was terribly high and your gynae said your heartbeat was weak. Your gynae wanted your mummy to be admitted for observation. Who is to know that at 9am, your mummy called your daddy to inform him that the doc is going to operate on her to bring you out. We were all sleeping when we received the call about you coming out prematurely. We were shocked out of our sleeps. I rushed down with Grandmama. Your daddy rushed down with your Granny, Uncle Terence and Aunt Rancy. Aunt Nicole rushed down with Greataunt and Aunt Doreen. Aunt Diana and Aunt Eve also came down after Bro Darius finished his class. We were all praying so hard that everything will be fine. There is nothing else that we want more. You can never imagine how happy we were when we found out that both your mummy and you are safe and sound. Everyone was just smiling from head to toe... :D
For the next few days, we were just busy visiting your mummy. Please do not misunderstand that we were not concern about you cos' we are not visiting you. It is because you are in the incubator in ICU and only your daddy & mummy and grandparents are allowed to visit you. In fact, I 'play cheat' and wheel your mummy down to see you on your 2nd day. When I wheeled her into the ICU to your cube, I managed to catch a glimpse of you before they chased me out. : ( I remember you were squinching your face with your eyes closed. I also remember that you have really long fingers and I mean REEEAAAALLLYY long. I bet you are going to be 1 tall guy when you grow up which I am glad for you...
Last night we received not so good news from the doctor. Doc said that seems like you are unable to get rid of your waste which is causing your tummy to be very bloated! I can see that your daddy and mummy were heartbroken, especially when the doc said that an operation might be needed to solve the problem. Our darling Jayden is only 2 days old and have to go through a major operation (by your standard). We can't bear for you to go through the pain. :_(
By early afternoon today, doc confirmed that an ops for you is inevitable and has to be carried out immediately. Your ops was scheduled in the evening after ops of another 3 babies. Your daddy and mummy were so worried. Grandmama and Granny were feeling the pain that you had to go through the ops. Aunt Addy, Aunt Rancy, Aunt Diana, Aunt Doreen & 4th Greataunt went down to the hospital to give you our moral support. All your greataunt, uncles and aunts who were not present were equally concern about you too. We were giving them constant updates to let them know the latest situation.
At 7:30pm, your daddy and mummy received a call from the doc to inform that the ops is over and wants to see them. After about 30mins, they came down and delivered happy news...
Darling Baby Jayden,
We are very happy that you had won yet another battle. We know it is not easy for you but each time, you had made us really proud of you. This is only the 3rd day of your life but you had been through what Aunt Addy has never been through and I salute you for your courage. I strongly believe that you are going to be a very strong boy from now on and you will fight and win every battles like a warrior...
We love you for being such a brave boy...

Baby Cot For Baby Jayden
Baby Jayden, Aunt Addy has bought you your first bed in your life... :D
Aunt Addy has always known that she would want to buy something for you to welcome you into our family but I did not have any idea what to get you until 2 weeks ago. I was looking around for something to buy for you when I chanced by baby cot. That is when I knew that is what I can buy for you. I started shopping around, with Aunt Diana's help, to look for one that is relatively good and stable for you.
We went to the Motherhood fair in Expo yesterday and with Aunt Diana and Uncle Don's experience, I decided to buy a white colour pine wood cot from the fair. Its usual price was $400+ but at the fair, it is going at $229. With an addition of a mattress, it comes up to $269 for the whole thing. Like most of the cot, you can use this as a bed even when you are slightly older.
I actually have an idea to paint the white frame of your cot with nice, cute picture but Aunt Addy is never good at drawings so I guess we shan't 'spoil' the cot with my 'artistic' drawings... : )
This looks a bit like your cot minus all the accessories inside of cos... or do they just look the same to me?? :P
