• my day.

    started at 4am. I jumped out of bed, hearing the toilet door slide open! all that greeted me was a cheeky baby that has climb out of his bed and headed for the toilet to have some water play (gunning for the toilet bowl). lucky for me that I am generally a light sleeper so I jumped out in time before he even got to it.   I nebulised him and gave him his medication and jumped back for a quick nap when my mum woke at 6am.. my happy baby in the morning. with a sweet and a wrapper. no. he isn’t allowed to eat but he knows its…

  • its madness.

    i was estactic when i heard the news about jerry being able to be discharged. back home, i am struggling with sleep deprivation so bad.. i kinda wish i had the help of the nurses from the hospital and it isnt that tough. it’s been madness since jerry’s home coming. he has loads and loads of medication and they are driving me nuts. coupled that with no one else to help, i think i was a little on my wits’ end today. for the record, here’s how the daily schedule is like for now. 4.30am – Nebuliser 5am – Medication for cough & running nose 8am – tablet for his…

  • trimming those little nails.

    with a hyper active kid who is constantly squirming away from you or trying to climb somewhere.. nail trimming is quite the chore.   never mind the fact they don’t stay still, my son snatches the nail scissors away from me before I can do anything so it is definitely a hazard. he somehow loves the scissors! and its cap.   so here’s a useful little tip. I snip his little fingernails and toenails when he is taking his afternoon nap. I can take all the time I want to carefully trim those little nails without a worry of snipping his flesh as compared to when he is awake and…

  • YAY

    is when the husband called this morning and said the doc gave the clearance for jerry to discharge! all that patting and loosening of the phlegm helped!   its the best thing to beat the Monday blues. I can’t be happier.   p.s. the above picture is taken at sunday morning at 6am. just before he fell and hit his head. Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.

  • high on drugs.

    literally. check out jerry’s damn high face. and ignore that huge bruise because he fell face down from the sofa couple of days ago.   p.s. the picture above is a case of bad timing. my little brave trooper has been really brave, taking in all the nebulizing sessions in his stride every 2hrly. ok. except the first one in the morning when he was really sick and cranky. he probably realise the good of it thereafter.   Meanwhile, it seems like baby is on the mend while mummy here is suffering from intense sleep deprivation and I’m currently on watch over duty tonight (or yesterday since I wrote the…

  • my Saturday morning..

    is spent scrambling out in bed at 7am and off we went to the paedratician. jerry has been battling with the flu virus since mid week and it developed into a full blown cough and now, fever.   its been a morning it has been.   we have just been told that jerry is suffering from an asthma attack and has to be admitted for observation and be constantly nebulized every 2hrs. I think its every parent’s fear of hearing that statement from the doctor. the hospitalization part that is.   doc says he needs to be warded for 3 days. the timing can’t be worse. Der is scheduled for…

  • at 13 months..

    I have a naughty baby on my hands!   tantrums. I have been getting more and more of it these days. he stamps his little feet a lot more, screams his head off and burst out in tears, stomps away in tears and turn back with a crying face..kicks his legs madly.. he’s turning into a little monster in my books!   while it frustrates me to no end, at times,  i do find it hilarious and quickly whip out my camera to capture the moment.. the tantrums an be quite patience testing..   in the past month, the biggest possible difference is in his speech. he still goes around…

  • one of those awwwwww…moment.

    have been working late all week and some days, I come home to find everyone asleep. one of those days, this was the sight that greeted me. if you look carefully, Jerry was laughing in his sleep when I snapped the picture. opportune moment. when i asked the husband the next day, he say Jerry was hugging the bigger pig so he just placed the tiny one in front of the other  and fell asleep after.. the husband is also almost falling off the bed. I have loads to say, but I need to go chase after jerry.  he climbing,  running all over.. Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.

  • loving mornings like that..

    peaceful. and no chance of a potential meltdown when I leave the house.   that said, he woke bright and early, had loads of playtime and cuddles on my bed and stepped all over me while I desperately attempt to snooze in a few more futile winks. had his milk and vitamin feed and his breakfast of porridge plus the usual morning dose of his favourite YouTube phonics song and a web chat over Skype with my aunt in the US (who demands requests my son to report daily). all that, before he KO and went down for his nap.   what a morning. and what? is it only 930am…
