Bumbo baby seat

I bought a Bumbo baby seat for Emilia few days ago. I thought it was a good way to have her started on sitting... honestly it's so hard to take pictures of her in a sitting position because I have to hold her head to take a good photo. The chair seemed like a good way to get her strengthen her neck muscles too.

Well, she was protesting so much at the first sitting that I almost put it back in the box to return it to the store. Her head was wobbly and she was pulling all her mighty strength to keep it steady above her shoulders. What a workout it is for a baby to just sit around. Eeach subsequent time I put her in the chair though, she seems more comfortable and managing her head a little better. So the chair is staying with us.

1st Day - was crying at the top of her lungs for the good 3 minutes of first trial

2nd Day - teary eyes (and drooling) but still okay

3rd Day - not 100% happy but looking around and starting to enjoy the view

4th Day - couldn't get a good picture but no crying no cringing!!

Emilia gets her 2nd RSV shot

We went to NYGH today to get the 2nd RSV shot for the season. Last time we didn't see any other baby in the room and there was no wait but this time there were 2 babies ahead of us and 3 babies after us. It was a crowded place. It looked like all of them were babies discharged from NYGH's NICU (the nurses knew the babies and moms by name). None of them was carrying an oxygen cylinder or a oxygen sat monitor.... although the baby next to us had a feeding tube still. He must have a feeding issue. I felt a bit blessed that Emilia was at least eating well. I am happy that she doesn't have oxygen AND feeding issues... which would have made her a very frail child.

Well, while waiting in the waiting area, Emilia passed some gas and I had a feeling it was not just the wind... soon, she started squirming and then eventually crying and crying. As soon as we got called in, I had to change her poopy diaper with lots and lots of wipes.

She got one shot in her right thigh and this time she made sure that the nurse and Mommy knew she was not happy at all. She was crying so loudly. It was her "I am angry" cry.

The nurse said the next shot might have to be divided into two, one in each thigh because they don't administer more than a certain amount in the same place, and based on today's weight, she may exceed that amount when she comes in next month. By the way, she was weighed and it was 6.13kg.
