An Eventful Day - 27 Sep

It was a busy day for all of us.

In the morning, we had to wake the little one at 8 plus (fyi, he usually wakes till 11-12 plus) for his 2nd Hep B jab @ Pasir Ris Polyclinic. Just thinking abt the injection on Keegan was a nerve-wrecking thought for us, but our prince was not in the know. To lighten the mood, we snapped away outside the dreaded room, while the public looked on. They must be thinking, "Siao ah, never come Polyclinic before ah, still muz take photos.. Wu liao!"

The little boy howled his lungs out the moment the needle went into his thigh.. Sigh.. More to go, my dear baby..



Next up, a shopping trip to Orchard was in the plans. You might have guessed that it's quite a challenge to bring a baby out, and it's more so when Keegan's on total breastfeeding. We had to choose the malls that had nursing facilities and fit our shopping venues into his feeding schedule. Being 1st-time Daddy & Mummy, little did we know that a baby does not follow a perfectly-planned schedule. And so, our friend cried and screamed for his makan at the most crowded places -- Crystal Jade, Taka Kids' Dept, etc. So malu!




And our day's not ended yet! We went over to Ah Bu's (grandauntie) house to pay her a visit, where Baby had his evening bath in an ultra-small basin.

The long day ended with dinner at the Yacht Club and with him screaming again, for his milk-milk..




~ Several lessons learnt:
1) To be observant and watch for hunger cues;
2) Not putting Baby on our schedule, but rather, to fit our plans into his :p
