Aariz after 2 weeks at home

After 2 week, we had our first appointment today and Aariz was put on the scale. Abah guessed it right, if we put a bet, I'll be broke! The truth is I do observe the differences from his days in the hospital. He's no more only skin and bones like his early days--we can really see the face is fuller, the cheek is more visible, the fingers are not as narrow, they are rounder --basically we can sight some fat building up in him........but I was just scared to put so much hope....and to scared to voice it out....


Hence, when Abah asked me to make a wild guess, I didnt make any....but made a joke on him saying that his number is way too ambitious.
And once again, Abah had it right.....Aariz is today 2.42kg....an increase of 600 grams for 2 weeks---Abah's guess was 300g increase per week....JACKPOT!

Basically since we brought him home, we have been feeding him like there's no tomorrow..emmm not to that extend lah but we try our best to really follow his demand...we were hesitate at first to increase his feeding, afraid that he might not be able to tolerate after 2 months of tight scheduled feeding...but the doctor did inform that once at home we can serve him as much as he wants.... So we increase 10ml each time, and now he's taking 20ml of breastmilk and 60ml of formula at each feeding 3 hourly, and his feeding time is documented, to ensure that he wont miss any, more than 4 hours....he never did, the longest break between feeding so far is 3.5 hours. This pattern is well expected...they are all the same...boys being boys, i cant really say that, can I? since i dont have a girl for comparison perhaps all babies are like that at this early age.
He's still far behind the size of term baby at 2 months++---still cant fit the 0-3months clothing, not even the newborn size, after having 3 boys...Aariz is our first baby who wears "tiny baby" outfit.....we do laugh at time.... but it's ok...as long as he is healthy, we are thankful!!

Personally I feel like he is the cutest baby ever....(sorry abang abang bertiga)---the 3 older brothers, they do agree with me though!
