Annabelle down with flu

Aiya... yesterday Annabelle is down with flu. Very early in the morning, I had to take emergency leave as I need to bring her to see the paede due to her difficulty in breathing properly. Actually over the long weekend, she was a little fussy and cranky especially when she wants to sleep. We were wondering if it is because she was in new house and it is a slightly new environment for her, thus she feels uneasy. But then, we taught that she has been to new house many times and then Ivan told on Sunday night that he suspected that she is not feeling well, true enough that Monday night; the flu started. That evening, after the visit to Gombak seeing Komathy's parents, we are back to Klang; she was crying so much, really kesian with big big drop of tears rolled down her cheeks. That night, she couldn't sleep well; waking up many many times, wanting milk and tossing and turning. I had no choice to carry her and put her on my shoulder and pat her to sleep. My night was also sleepless too. But never mind, when seeing her nose block; I rather that I take the flu than her at least I know how to blow it out than a small 3mo baby. Today, I had to go back to work; morning sent her to baby daycare; hope she is okay then. I was very worried and had sms (which I don't normally do) Auntie Seleen to check on her. Thank God that Auntie Seleen said that she was fine, listening to Amma and doing fine. I guess the day time is fine till the night comes, she will get the nostril block. Hope today is better! Gosh, I need to mention this, she needs to drink 2.5ml of flu medicine; isn't it a little too much for a baby. But according to Dr.Ravi, the flu will retains for few days, with the medicine and her antibody, let her body is able to fight the virus... I really pray she is fine soon... cannot see her like that.. heartache...

Thank God for a healthy bb

This morning, when onto fb and saw one of the mummy from the Mummies Group commented that her baby had a relapsed of fits. Ai... my heart really sink! I really need to pray for her. Poor baby and I am sure that the mummy must has had sleepless night. Immediately, I commented on my fb status "Thank you God for today... Thank you for blessing us Annabelle...". Though sometime Annabelle is cranky, all that is just so minot as compare to others' baby whose is suffering. Thank God that Annabelle has been healthy so far, despite of her 2nd and 3rd jab; she did not have any fever but just a slight increase of her temperature. As compared to Angel (our niece cum Goddaughter), I also feel God is really great to us that He bless us with a healthy child. Poor Angel had been going through some illness since birth, I pray to our Lord to bless good health to all babies and children, please be with all of them, take care of them...

Annabelle + Papa

It was 5.30am. After Annabelle's feed at 5.00am, I went down to take my shower and make coffee for myself and Ivan. I could hear her cry from the kitchen. Run up the stairs, saw Ivan carried her. Annabelle was crying so "kesian". Ivan told me that "Don't know why she cry!". I had noticed that recently she buli the papa alot. The papa actually carry her the same way I carry, the papa feed her the same way that I do; but she is just refuse and wanted me. Hmmm..I think Ivan is really sad in this. He has expressed it today in the car. Poor husband of mine! I know how you feel. He really loves and wanted to pampered Annabelle but she is coming to me and closer to me than him, this make him think if he is doing anything wrong, I guess! I was comforting him while talking and explaining to him this morning that Annabelle knows that the mother is the source of food and want me to curdle her to sleep while the papa will be for fun and game... Darling, let me assure you that you are the best papa and husband to us...No worries and don't get upset. I am sure in one point of time during her growing stage (especially I want to disciplined her), she will run to you in tear and say "Papa, mummy is scolding me!!!..." and you will say "OK.. OK..don't cry! Papa sayang!!!". As I was reading this from Baby Center, it says:

My baby seems to prefer his father right now. What does that mean and how do I deal with it?

The BabyCenter Editorial Team

No need to worry — what's happening is actually quite common. Some babies prefer one parent over the other at certain stages of development. No one knows for sure what this means, but some suggest that your baby sees his father as the person who will fulfill his needs right now, which doesn't necessarily negate your efforts. Your baby's preference will likely switch back to you sometime soon.

It can be upsetting when your baby rejects you in favor of your partner. But don't take it personally. Let your baby get the attention he needs from his dad, and don't let his preference create tension between you and your partner. And remember, both of you are important to your baby. He just happens to prefer his father at the moment.

 

So darling, both of us are important to Annabelle... No worries k...
