I was born 2.9kg and 58 cm long. My head circumference was 31cm. In 6 weeks I will be 5.2 kg and 58 cm long. All the clothes that Amma and Appa had bought for me would began to fit me. In fact, Amma will start putting some of my smaller clothes away.
Since the day I had my first bath, I've always been annoyed by the pottu they insist on putting on my forehead. So to tell everyone how much I dislike the pottu, I would rub the fresh new mitten with the pottu. Then Amma would gently scold me and change the mittens....but i think she had to throw away the mittens coz the pottu just doesn't wash off! Funny though, because in spite of my efforts, no one paid any attention( or got the message) - and after all my hard, hard work and the pottu was successfully rubbed off, everyone just patiently put a new pottu on back again for me!
*Sigh*

My belly button fell off when I was 5 days old. Thank goodness that fell off coz while it was hanging out of me, Amma used to wipe it with alcohol swabs, and boy, were they cold!!!!!
**Sigh***Sigh***

Did I mention I was hospitalised?? Yikes! I must have forgotten....yup...they took me away on the 19th of July from Amma and put me - naked except for a diaper and a net over my eyes - under photo lights so that my jaundice level would reduce. The doctor took blood from me three times in the two days that I was wearded and that hurt like crazy!
But you know, being under the light was a little like sun-bathing.....sometimes on my stomach and sometimes on my back. Amma and Appa came to see me when I was there, but no one stayed with me =(
Anyway, when you're tiny and only 5 days old.....sleep prevails everything. And as long as I was fed when I was hungry, I contently slept through the whole two days. =)
******************************
Just for the record here, I won't be putting up too many pictures of my good-looking self.
Firstly, the reason being that , my old- fashioned Amma and Appa, and even more-old fashioned Ammama and Mina Pathi have decided that my first picture will only be taken on the 30th day of my life.....and that is another story.
Secondly, Amma thinks too many pictures of myself will invite unnecessary evil-eye casting on little me, and well....I kinda need Amma's help to load my pictures--- so I guess, in most instances, you'll just have to take my word for it.
