Today is the day of first inspection both for the baby and me. Mine passes off fine enough but the baby has a harrowing time. We are to retest her TSH and it's difficult to hear the cries as they draw a syringe full of blood. My mother is very angry with us for subjecting her to this and hardly talks to us on the way back. Good thing is that the report is satisfactory the next day and my mother is happy that both of us can take bath tomorrow onwards.
The kid is doing fine sleeping most of the day and not so well in the night. My diet this time is better than last - I eat two dosas/3 idlis for breakfast along with coffee, half my usual quantity of rice along with sambar, curry and rich curd for lunch, an apple, a couple of rusks and coffee for the evening snacks and same as lunch for dinner. Of course I long for more, especially in the mornings but wouldn't dare to suggest such a thing to my mother yet.
My bowels are finally cleaned regularly. I had such a struggle for the first few days that I used to sweat at the thought of going to the toilet. On top of that some problem with my kidneys too. I think all because of giving in to some old advice and not drinking water properly. But my mom was not worried at all. She kept insisting that diarrhea is worse!
My sister's mother-in-law, sister-in-law and her husband have come over the weekend to see the baby. The kid sleeps through all our talking and the noise my son makes and it's nice for a change because my son used to be wake up at even the smallest sound.
Here is the kid's photo after the first week.
