Baby Raelynne is two months old

Yesterday, Baby Raelynne officially turned two months old. She is now officially 3.75kg and 54.5cm in height. Her height has grown 6.5cm from the last time she visited her doctor. Dr. Anthony said it is a good sign and growth. Doesn’t even feel like she’s premature. She had her triple antigen injection yesterday morning and was crying/screaming for awhile and then fell asleep.

Lately, she has also been waking up at 5am or 6am in the morning, keeping us all awake cos’ she will make squeaking sounds, probably asking to be carried. Which is why, Mummy and Daddy is always sleepy throughout the day.

New Pixart Pocket Photobook has arrived

Last Monday, I made a new photobook for Raelynne. There was an introductory offer of Pixart’s new pocket photobook send to clients who registered their email with Pixart. This offer wasn’t made available in their website, thus we were one of the first to have this exclusive offer. The pocket photobook is smaller than the coffee table photobook I made earlier. It costs RM50 for each book and you can have up to 24 photos printed double sided. That is 12 pages of glossy photo prints in a nicely binded book.

Coffee table photobook and pocket photobook side by side comparison

I took the opportunity to review both books since I took the photos of the book today side by side. Each photobook has its advantages. For those who are looking to put in more photos, can opt for the coffee table type, which the pocket photobook is good if you want to show your photos while making a visit to relatives or friends. Nevertheless, my wife and I are both satisfied with both books. Choosing photos carefully for the books is the most important phase. Since it is a high quality print, you wouldn’t want to waste dodgy photos printed in the book.

Another comparison of the photobook. The coffee table version comes with a box, while the pocket version didn’t.

I’m sure Baby Raelynne would be very pleased to see so many of her photos in both versions of the book, although she is took young to appreciate them now. Few years later, she would really be proud that she has her photos printed in a book format. Even Mummy and Daddy do not have a photobook!

Pocket photo book taken closed up

We showed the book to our friends and relatives and all of them loved it and really didn’t know that such printing service exist. They too want to get a book for themselves and have asked how do we go about getting it printed. They also thought that the cost of the printing must be really high but was pleased to hear the affordable price that we paid.

This is how the photos in pocket photobook looks like when you open it up. They are mostly single photo, but you can also have two photos in one page

Coffee table photobook can have more photos in one page, like shown above, plus you can add captions or short narrations.

Coffee table photobook is worth having if you have great photos, especially when its a single photo in a page, like Baby Raelynne’s single page photo shown above.

 

Whatever it is, Pixart has come up with a wonderful business concept and have made low volume offset printing services affordable. Perhaps I could offer this photobook printing service in Sabah for those who are not IT-savvy enough to do their own photobook.

 

Visit Pixart at www.pixart.com.my for further details on how to create your own photobook. You would need to download their special software in order to create your own photobook. Don’t worry, the software doesn’t contain any spyware/adware and is totally safe to install.

Its two months!

How time flies, Baby Raelynne will turn two months old on Tuesday, 22nd August. She will also have her regular review with Dr. Anthony on the same day. Daddy will be taking a day off from work and bringing Raelynne and Mummy for review at Sabah Medical Centre.

So far, Baby Raelynne has recovered pretty much 100% from flu and doesn’t seem to have noseblock as frequent as before. These few days, however, she has been waking up quite early, around 4am and after feeding, refused to go back to sleep until the next feeding time. Daddy have to carry her to sleep sitting down on the bed, thus loosing few hours of sleep. I guess it would be fair that Mummy sleeps and Daddy’s turn to comfort Raelynne. Luckily, its almost morning time and it doesn’t take much toll on Daddy.

Since its the weekend, time to take Baby Raelynne out for “kai kai” (short travelling). Perhaps can drop by her Grandparents’ house later on since Daddy and Mummy haven’t been back for quite some time. I believed it was only once she went back there for a visit.

It has been 10 years since …

I left secondary school. Earlier tonight, I attended the 45th Annual Dinner of the Association of Ex-Students of La Salle and Sacred Heart at Magellan Sutera Harbour. It was a great occassion because I managed to meet up with my former teachers, husband and wife, Ramlee and Marinah there. It was since I left school that I have never met them again until tonight. It was really good to be able to catch up with them again. They taught me Kemahiran Hidup (Living Skills) and Geography during lower secondary. I was informed that they are back in Kota Kinabalu to do a research for their PhD. We used to communicate via e-mail but after awhile lost touch. Anyway, I handed them my business card and get them to restore the email communications again when they return to West Malaysia.

We managed to take a group photo together with their camera. Perhaps later I will get them to send a copy to me so that I can post it up here in my blog.

Spending the weekend with Raelynne

Nowadays, weekend is mainly spent at home together with Raelynne. With her around, going out needs planning as it involves extra logistics that need to be carried out. We now need to bring an extra bag, big enough to fit 1 flask of hot water, 1 flask of cold water, milk powder, bottles, nappies, baby wipes, hankies, and many more. In other words, many would say we are “moving house”.

The weather has been pretty bad again since my last posting yesterday. It rained heavily middle of the night thus causing blackout at home for a couple of hours. It continued to rain till early morning. Read the papers today that such weather will last until at least this coming Wednesday.

(L-R): Iliadin Nasal Spray, Dentino Colic Drops (very useful!), Avent Feeding Bottle with anti colic teat, Panadol suspension (for fever), extra Avent teats (given by Raelynne’s aunty)

Today, I have also bought Raelynne a new bottle, a well renowned brand, Avent. If you look at the photo shown above, you can see the bottle there. The size is quite big compared to other normal bottles, but it is known for its anti-colic teats. The bottle isn’t cheap as well, costing almost RM30. However, we are sure if its quality since many others including my nieces uses them as well. Even Raelynne’s paeditrician recommends it. As you can also see from the photos, Raelynne now has a line up of medicines as well. Anti colic drops, Panadol liquid, nasal sprays and chinese medicines (not in photo).

As much as we don’t really want her to use pacifier, but at times, especially when she is not comfortable, it helps…

Later in the afternoon, we will bring Raelynne for a ride to the airport. She loves riding in the car and will automatically doze off few minutes after getting in. Her Grandfather and Grandmother will come back today from visiting Great Grandmother in Kuantan. They have been gone for a week now.

One of the rare occassions that you see Raelynne and Daddy together in a photo. Specially asked Mummy to take this!

Eh, if Daddy, Mummy and Raelynne is in the photo, who took this photo? There’s a photography tool call tripod and luckily, the camera comes with a remote control for shutter release

Baby Raelynne is already 7 weeks old…

How time flies! Baby Raelynne has just entered her 7th week since birth. For the past one week, it has been hard on her because she had a terrible colic experience and had been vomitting milk. She visited Dr. Anthony twice already in a span of 4 days. One was last Saturday and another time was on Tuesday. She had a mild fever, flu and cough due to the bad weather we encountered here. Gosh, we experieced the tail of the typhoon Sao Mai. It was pretty bad for all the children in the house including my nieces.

Nevertheless, Raelynne has improved for the past few days after taking her medication. As you can see from the various photos below, she has been growing pretty well. The last time she was on the weighting scale, she was 3.6kg! A good weight gain as informed by Dr. Anthony. It has been quite tough on Mummy and Daddy for the past week as well due to sleepless nights. Raelynne was not able to lie down and this will cause her nose to block. So Mummy had to carry her up so that she can sleep comfortably, but of course Mummy had to sacrifice her comfort for sleep.

Anyway, here are some of the latest photos of her. Daddy has slowed down on taking photos. With Raelynne on board, there just isn’t much more extra time available.

My personal favourite photo of Raelynne. Even had the photo developed at 10R!

Nowadays you can see Raelynne with her big eyes open most of the time.
