First car ride 

After 8 long days, we finally hear the words "You can go home". On Sunday, 8th of Jan, Toby had his first car ride, first look of the outside world, first feel of being in the comforts of home and family, first bath of 'essence of bitter gourd stalks' and first night in his bed. His popo was out of her seat to welcome him before we even got to park!

Jaundice has kept us for so long in the hospital. Poor boy had his hand pricked so many times over the days to have his blood drawn. We can hear his cry from the nurses station all the way from our room which is at the end of the hall. Poor Clyde had his heart pierced each time he hears the cry each day.. Phototherapy for almost 5 days has kind of turned him into a little brown indian.

In the light

His Nana's got a project to create a photo album of his first month on earth. Have printed a number of the photos already and proudly showing them off to anyone and everyone within arm's length! Plus all the pictures must be with his eyes open wide.. Very very wide.

 

wide awake

THANK YOU everyone for your well wishes, pressies/ang pows (yay! for Chinese New Year!) and for taking time out to visit us in and out of the hospital. Having a baby's no walk in the park but nevertheless a lovely one with the occasional (or should we say constant) need to rest all konked out horizontally.*grin*

ps: The carseat's safety straps were too long. Patrick's actually strapped in together with him to make it a perfect fit! =p
