<\/a> After a couple hours, Aslin, Denise, Malia and Chris left the birth center. After making a appointment with Dr. Fleiss, Aslin’s new pediatrician, they proceeded to drop off Malia at home and continued to Dr. Fleiss’ office for her first visit.<\/p>\n

At Dr. Fleiss’ office (yup Heidi’s dad), we had Aslin checked out, weighed, measured again, and the newborn exam to make sure that she was normal. Everything checked out fine. But they got a little scare when they got home.<\/p>\n

At home, Aslin threw up some meconium and amniotic fluid that she swallowed during her delivery. She tried to breathe, but ended up choking on it. Panic-stricken, Denise called out to Chris. Chris grabbed the aspirator from the cupboard and began suctioning her throat and nasal passages, which to their relief, worked.<\/p>\n

It took awhile for Aslin to start breast feeding. Well, not too long. It just seemed long to Denise and Chris. She feed later that night and once she started, she didn’t stop for a long time<\/p>\n

So that first week, Denise and Chris didn’t get much sleep. Aslin roared like a lion, crying almost every hour.<\/p>\n

<\/a> On her second day in this world, Aslin’s grandparents on her father’s side, came to visit her. Grandfather on the father’s side is called Ye-Ye in chinese and Grandmother is called Ma-ma. So Ye-ye and Ma-ma met their 3rd grandchild for the first time. Smiling and happy, they said that she was lovely. They instantly fell for the new member of the family. Chris was never so proud to see his daughter in the arms of the ones that once carried him and loved him so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
