after 1 month

Harris is one month old now! and you grow my dear, you have grown significantly. you were born with weight of 2.41 kg , coming down to 2.35kg on day 4 of life ( it's normal to lose up to 10% of birth weight on the first week of life), then picked up to 2.6 kg on day 15 , 3 kg on day 20 and by 1month old ,you are 3.7 kg! you make mama so proud for breastfeeding you honey. :)
mama just bought an electric breast pump online today - spectra 3 model, ( together with cooling bag set). should receive the parcel in 2 days time. can't wait. abah bought me a manual Anakku pump during your first week as i felt significant breast discomfort due to milk engorgement. so it was a relief then to have it pumped out. i have started expressing the milk for storage as well but it was very unsatisfactory with the current pump not to mention aching hand and fingers from pumping.
i'm planning to buy you a stroller and a car seat as well, with priority given to the latter. I'm currently very attracted to get you the Aldo convertible car seat for its much lower price yet very good feedback from users. it is on sale now and the offer will last until next week. i might buy it :D
as for the stroller, well i'd love to get you a Mac laren actually, but i might just settle for a cheaper one like Halford: Cosmo DX Travel System. will ask abah's opinion about it once he got back ( but I doubt he wants any) - i have the feeling that he'll be very discouraging on this and play his usual role as devil's advocate :P Harris, you have to be team mama on this ;-)
