To better days ahead

It has been a rough week with all of us being unwell. This is the first time that you were ill for so long and could not keep your food and milk down. You felt like a hot water bottle and I tried not to get frustrated and angry when you woke up hourly and cried and cried and took ages to fall back asleep. I also felt so bad for sending you into nursery one of the days and then got called to bring you back at midday because of a high fever. Even they were surprised that you did not eat because you always finished your food.

Thank God it's all better now with you starting to eat some food today. You still threw up once but at least kept most in. Good thing is I now know when you are going to throw up and have learnt to face you outwards so the sheets are clean and I don't need to get changed :) It's all because of the thick phlegm that you keep choking on. Amazingly you still tried to play in the daytime.
This is you much better today


I'm also now the owner of an iphone!!

Recurrent sickness

I think I have to get used to the idea of us falling ill again and again. You do bring home the most potent of germs and spread it around fast. I have never been ill so many times in such a short period of time. You were finally totally recovered from your flu last weekend but unfortunately started having running nose again on Tuesday. This was followed by passing it to me on Wednesday and then your daddy on Thursday making all 3 of us down with flu, cough and sore throat, AGAIN. I see a recurrent theme here. I wonder when will our immune system get on top of these powerful viruses?

First call from nursery

2 days ago, I was told you were not yourself and was running a fever and I had to come pick you up. I was like - oh no!! Well, thank God you were better that night because rather guiltily, I had to send you to nursery the next day as I had an important meeting at work. However, I picked you up early so that you could come home and rest. You were apparently back to your usual self and we were looking forward to your first 'pirate day' at nursery today.

Alas, you ran a fever at night and still had a fever in the morning. I was rather disappointed that you had to miss it because your daddy and I have been figuring out how to tie a 'bandana' on you as part of your costume, and it was going to be your first party with your friends with lots of activities. Never mind, I am sure there will be lots more to come.

I have never seen you so subdued, quiet and lethargic (You would never have been still enough to allow me to take this picture below). You also threw up your lunch and dinner. Please get better soon, baby. I miss the cheerful and active you.
