Checkup on jaundice

Mummy: Today we are bringing Schuyler to "Children's Clinic" for checkup on his jaundice. I looked his eyes, I think his jaundice level didn't shoot up. But we still decided to bring him to the PD for a check.

Wearing this new set of clothings for checkup (the pants are too big for me though it's meant for newborns):

The clinic wasn't crowded, I guess cos it's a weekday. I saw 3 parents carrying the yellow Mount Alvernia bag and look at their babies, can tell they also just delivered the babies few days ago. Luckily we didn't bring that bag out. :P

We were asked to weigh our babies. Our Schuyler looks small in size, but among the 3 babies, he weighed the heaviest. 3.7kg (but the nurse said need to minus 100g for the blanket). The 2 babies weight 3.2kg and 3.3kg only. PD asked how to pronounce bb's name, we told her and she said the spelling is unique, so far the one she came across is skylar. Anyway everything is fine for Schuyler except for the heat rash, nappy rash. BB is still having mild jaundice and PD said she's quite surprised the jaundice level didn't shoot up as the bb's blood group is different from mine. PD prescribed the desitin cream, a cream for body rashes, powder for belly button and shower gel for rashes. PD wants us to bring bb back for another checkup on the jaundice in another 5days' time. And we are thinking of giving it a missed. :P

After the checkup, back at home:
