Misha: 36 weeks

Doctor's visit
We had a follow up visit at Putrajaya hospital for her blood results. She is still having a low neutrophil count. ANC is 1.42 (normal should be above 2). But it's increasing so doctor said its a good sign.
We also got her weight...6.75kg. So she has only gained 100g in the past 2 months! I am trying to not stress over this...

Solids brocolli papaya
I am still doing 3 meals a day (occasionally I miss a meal if we had a busy day). By the end of the week she was eating as much as 100g in a meal. I am trying to slowly increase this amount and hopefully she gains some weight before her 9 month check up.

Nursing
Bacause she was sleeping so much, some days she only did 4 feedings. And she only nurses on average about 5 minutes each time. After our hospital visit I tried to get her to nurse more...I even offer her the other breast but most of the time she refuses. Occasionally she does nurse so I need to keep trying to get her to nurse both sides each time. I guess I need to have faith that she will eat if she is hungry...

Finger foods
She is getting much better at eating now. A few times she would enthusiastically move her hands whenever she wants more of it...not sure if she is trying to sign 'more'. Jing said he saw her sign it once but could be a coincidence. She definitely likes eating it cos every time I bring out the container (I always use the same green Tupperware) she will look at it and if I don't give her something to eat she will start to 'complain'.

Sleeping
No major issues. She seemed to sleep a lot this week! Maybe because of our busy weekend, she had to make up for a lot of lost sleep....but still...her morning naps were more than 2 hours followed by afternoon naps of 1.5 hours. Most days I didn't put her down for her 3rd nap. So she was sleeping around 15 hours a day.
Quite often she wakes up early in the morning (sometimes as early as 6am!). Sometimes she goes back to sleep but there are days when she just plays in her crib till I get her. So far she is okay to wait till 7.30am. One morning she was in there by herself for almost 1.5 hours!

OutingsLast weekend was very busy for us. We had dinners on Saturday and Sunday so Misha went to bed really late! Overall she managed well....it helps that she can eat finger foods now. She is quite content to sit in the high chair and eat while we have dinner. A bit messy but at least we can eat in peace! :)
