Chinese Garden, Singapore

Leah and I were caught in the rain when we decided to visit the Chinese Garden. April 10, 2009.

Visiting baby Chase 29 Aug 2009

Visiting baby Chase at the hospital again 29 Aug 2009. He just got fed when we arrived so he was all groggy and sleepy. He was knocked-out the whole time. :)

Chase Alexander Yu Tibay - Day 5, 20:30 Hrs.

The little guy just got fed when we came and he was all groggy and finally got knocked out. :D He's consuming more milk than mom could come up with so the hospital still supplements him with formula. Hope he gets to go home tomorrow. :)

Playing with Chase

He was wide awake so I took the opportunity carry him... :)

Swaddling Chase

Shot this clip when we visited the kid at the hospital tonight. The nurse at the hospital was showing us how to swaddle the little kid. :D

Chase Alexander Yu Tibay - Day 04, 20:30 Hrs.

We visited the little one tonight to deliver some milk from mommy. :) He was quite alert and squirmy the whole time we were there. :D

Chase Alexander - Day 2 at the Hospital

Took a video of the little guy when he was still attached to the respirator. Nakaka-awa. But he managed to stick his tongue at me a few times. :)

Chase Alexander Yu Tibay

Thomson Medical Centre. August 2009.

We're pleased to announce the birth of Chase Alexander Yu Tibay. :D

Date of birth: 25/08/09
Time of birth: 13:53
Birth weight: 3.765 kg
Length: 50 cm
Head circumference: 36 cm

The baby came out fine but a few hours later the doctor observed that the baby was having laboured breathing and was sent to the ICU, he's been on a respirator since yesterday, and so far his condition had been improving. We're hoping he'd be able to breathe on his own soon. Leah's healing fine.

UPDATE: He's been off the respirator since yesterday (27 Aug) and has been breathing on his own. He's been on tap since he was brought to the ICU and they'll be removing that today (28 Aug). He tried feeding from mommy this morning but mommy's not into full milk production mode yet. Nurses say he's been consuming 30 ml every three hours and will be jacked-up to 60 ml today. Woah! He will be released from the hospital on Sunday (30 Aug). Leah was released from the hospital today (28 Aug) and is resting. :)
