Midwife

Mr & Mrs Kong arrange for a visit from the midwife last Sat to check up on the little bub and give us some advice and pointers.

Overall, she was very positive on our care of Master Kong so far (i.e. we aren't going to be reported to Social Services) especially of the bum/diaper area. I guess its a concern for midwives - maybe most parents are apprehensive about the 'Thunder Down Under'. Not us - we love it! Haha ok, we are ok with it.

She had her concerns though, mostly the fact that he has grown so much in 2 months. When he was born, he weighed in at 2.3kg, he is now 5kg. That means he's grown from below normal birth weight due to being premature to now normal for a 2 month old.

Mr & Mrs Kong were ecstatic about that but the midwife thought it might be a reason for his colic. We don't really agree.

Another assessment from the midwife made us laugh. After examining a fussy Master Kong, she said that his fussiness could just be due to him being a bad tempered baby!

Of course, it could also be due to the fact that JW aimed one of his patented pee fountains onto her! Hahaha!

Mr & Mrs Kong are pretty happy with progress and it was good to chat with the midwife to get some tips and pointers. At the end of the day, JW is usually a little angel when he is not suffering from his acid reflux and gas.

What, me bad tempered? Never!

Bad tempered jet pilot?

Grumpy in Popo's arms - look at those sausage fingers...

Fussy in SJMC nursing room. Maybe he knows a jab is coming.

Ok lah, to be fair, he can also be an angel:
