Umbilical cord stump

Day 9 of life
 both mom and i were intimidated by the cord stump and plastic clamp.

i did not manage KJ's.
the nurse gave me his dried cord when he was discharged.

i was glad mom decided not to bath him due to his still-detached-cord. phew.

i accidentally twisted the clamp so the cord lifted and almost dissociated.
we could then see the 'wetness' on the belly button.
applied 'chlorhexidine in alcohol' a few times and air the cord.
i prefer the latter drying method.

chlorhexidine does not help to fasten the drying process,
it only function in inhibiting bacteria growth.

 in the car seat
on the way to the clinic (luyang) for SB
unquestionably, i do not approve this
matty's sleeping on a pillow. O.O
there is a higher power than me, your highness dictated so i obeyed.


Day 10

stretched feets
missing socks
kicked up 'blanket'
thats my baby =)
teary eyes?
myriad of hormones kicking in
*kj the photographer*
