Day 3 of life - i'm coming home on Merdeka Day...

alhamdulillah, baby ahmad and i survived the night in NICU...my dear friend dahlia who is oncall today dropped by to give us breakfast...french toast and satay and nasi impit...delicious..! i had my shower and got myself ready in the mother's room...it was spacious with 4 beds (currently fully occupied) and sofa and dining table and 2 bathrooms attached...it's strictly for mothers only...i had a quick breakfast with hubby outside the room at the corridor...and went back in to NICU to see baby ahmad...

it's Merdeka Day today and we really hope that baby ahmad will be merdeka-ed from NICU today..the morning round did by the houseman and medical officer had planned for discharge today...yeay! but we needed to wait for all the discharge summary, referral letters and other documentations to be done...

it was such a long wait...we had lots of bonding time together...i dozed off a few times while waiting, when hubby went to perform the Friday prayer...

my cousin kak Ana came to see how we were doing in the NICU...but they didn't get to see baby ahmad in NICU as it's strictly for parents only...

finally we were ready to go at around 3+pm...baby ahmad is finally going home after 2 nights in the NICU...but he needs to return for blood taking for his thyroid function test and karyotyping on monday...

we reached home at around 4pm..the kids were excited to us back home again with baby ahmad...baby ahmad was so comfortable at home being surrounded by his noisy brother and sister...he was easy to take care of and breastfeeding quite well...my milk started to come in and painful engorgement occurred..i need to express my milk as well to prevent further engorgement and mastitis...

selamat hari merdeka
