Time is flying past me....

Faith turns 2 months old tomorrow. I can't believe it. =)

Lately, she's begun to coo and gurgle, playing with us and rewarding us with super bright smiles whenever she's happy. Times like these are extremely precious to us, and we love interacting with her at every single moment.

We brought her for Mass this morning, since it's Ascension, and then we went for her check-up and Angela came along with us.

Faith is super tall now. She now measures 60cm already... Angela joked that if she grew by 30 more cm, she would need to pay for transport! haha. The doctor mentioned though that she ought to be heavier than the 4.8kg that she weighs right now.

I guess it's coz i'm quite adamant about not feeding her if it's less than 2 hours since her last feed, plus my dad's insistence that she's constantly thirsty with a dry throat, thus the need to feed her water. Sigh, my darling daughter drinks almost 100ml of water a day! And that's a lot for a tiny body like her, especially since each feed of hers is only 150ml!

Was asking the doctor about her water intake, and the doctor advised that she ought to drink at most only 5-10ml of water after each feed... I feel almost terrible.

But it's not too late.. now i know better, I'll make changes... =)

She also took her 6-in-1 vaccine today... in which she was extremely extremely brave by not crying at all. I am so terribly proud of her. =D We then went to visit the healthcare worker who helped us in delivering Faith, and then to see my gynae.....

Everyone who saw her today commented on how pretty she is, how much hair she has, how her eyes are so nice... everyone seems to notice her hair before everything else! ah well, since she's so tall, i shall just pin my hopes on her becoming a model in future, and then supporting Darling and me when we are old... hahahaha... =D

She really has been an angel all day, for after our trip to the hospital, we went to Suntec for a short but nice lunch, and we went shopping for a little while before making our way home...

Faith is suffering from the effects of the jab right now though... she is having a fever, and her temperature is 38.1 deg... We just fed her some Paracetamol, and are hoping that she'll get better soon. I'm so glad she didn't spit all the medicine out, as I believe i would have since I hate medicine so so much...

We just have to see how she fares tonight, and if the fever wears off... if not, I gues I can't go to school tomorrow....

Also, it's her second month tomorrow, and I'm really hoping she'll be okay instead of feeling so unwell........ It's gonna be a long night... but it'll all be worth it if she can get better....
