Today I finally hold you


Dear baby,

Today daddy went to the hospital early to visit Mommy and you. Mommy told Daddy that you cried very loudly last night because of hunger. Mommy felt very bad because her milk has not come yet. However the nurses told us that it is ok for babies to go hungry for the first few days. We finally agreed to let the nurses to give you a bit of glucose water when you cry loudly.


After lunch, Daddy finally had the chance to hold you and Mommy took a picture for daddy. You felt so light, so tiny in my arms. Daddy promised to protect you, to give you the best I can give to make sure you grow up healthily.
The whole day, daddy accompanied mommy and you. We tried to feed you when you cried, but you could not latch on properly in the beginning, so we always looked for the nurses to help us. When you drink milk, you make a sound in your throat that sounds like a kitten.

Grandpa and Granny brought mommy meals everyday. They also brought a broth made of boiled lemongrass and onion for month to clean herself. Daddy ended up eating all the hospital meals for mommy. This evening, when grandpa went home after shopping for food to cook for mommy, he had a fall in the bus and bruised his wrist and legs. Grandpa loves you so much, you must love him back baby.
