Recovered!

Cayenne finally recovered! & back to her naughty self again. Keke... Past 1 week plus, her appetite was simply zero. Now she has been asking for milk, bread, noodles, porridge, rice, soup etc. So happy!

I have decided to...

Trust my helper, that is. Hee... Had a massage session on Tuesday, was pouring my "woes" to Grace (my ML). She is kind enough to listen to my 牢骚. She advised me to trust the maid. Even Lily told me that too. She told me that she thinks my helper is obedient and is one who is willing to work. I should learn to trust her. Well, I did.

Today, I let my helper handle Cayden's feeding unless if I latch him. So far she is doing a decent job. Hope she can maintain this way. Tomorrow I'll teach her to bath Cayden and dress/diaper change.

Actually my helper is very "cute". As I stress on the point that Cayden must be burped during his feed, probably she felt the stress. And when Cayden finally burps and sometimes very loud, my helper will laugh and quickly told me that 弟弟 burped. She felt a sense of achievement and satisfaction. Haha...

Just now I was in the room pumping milk and she was in the living hall feeding Cayden, I could hear Cayden's loud burp, my helper laughed so loudly and kept praising Cayden "Good Boy". Haha...

Guess sometimes, I shouldn't hold onto certain issues so stubbornly. Let go! LET GO! Now I'm telling myself this!

Hope things will turn out better for me. ;)

My "nightmare" starts on... (;p)

17th August 09, Monday! Haha... I have to handle Cayden myself from feeding, diaper changing, bathing etc. Made me wondered how I managed to clear the "obstacle" during Cayenne's time. ;p

I didn't let my helper to handle Cayden at all. Main reason is I still don't trust her. I haven't let go and trust her.

And guess what, I was down with abit of flu and felt feverish. What a Monday for me. Felt so tired and no appetite and have to handle Cayden. Finally evening came and I asked Dennis to take leave on Tuesday to take over. I didn't even dare to step out of my house to go and see doctor on Monday, scared to leave my Cayden with my helper alone.

Anyway back to the taking care of Cayden, I started off with feeding him then then bath time. Kinda of loss when bathing him, but still not too bad as compared to Cayenne's time. This time probably with experience, I'm more relaxed, and Cayden seems to enjoy in the water. ;)

Finally it was OVER...

My confinement month. Haha... Anyway, I wasn't being "confined" at all. Been doing the opposites & my confinement lady never stopped me. Talking about my confinement lady, she is not good at all. The only good thing about her is she spends time in feeding and burping my Cayden which I like. Other than this, cooking sucks, no advise from her about the confinement stuff etc, no tonics for me (only when my Dad asked her to prepare, then she prepared). Same for the soups. One very bad attitude of the confinement lady is she always pushes the blame to my helper and other people except herself. Really cannot stand her. Terrible right? My Dad was super super un-pleased with her. Haha...

Fake Measles

After having a yo yo fever for 4 days (Saturday till Tuesday), on Wednesday early hours, I observed my Darling Cayenne's neck/chest area had some tiny dots. I wonder what was that. I was afraid it might be some kind of infection. Her face did has a bit too. Was thinking probably too heaty or her saliva (she was teething @ the same time while having fever! Poor girl)

Lily called me up around 4plus in the afternoon and told me that Cayenne didn't seem too right. Her face and body broke out in rashes!!! I immediately thought of fake measles. Could it be that? I asked Lily if Cayenne still having fever, she said no. So I told her it might be fake measles cos I recalled some forum mummies that I came to befriend were discussing about this fake measles months ago.

Asked Lily how was Cayenne doing? She said Cayenne was still very active, appetite did increase abit, ate at least half bowl of rice and lots of soup. & was also playing and laughing with Lily's children. Lucky.

After putting down the phone, I quickly go online 2 find my saviours - Mummy Wendy & Mummy May via MSN.

Mummy Wendy told me the symptoms of fake measles. So confirmed (by me) that my Darling Cayenne is having fake measles.

Mummy May told me she didn't know much on the fake measles. & end up we were chatting over her lovely Ervin's 3rd BD party. & also talked about planning our girls' 2nd BDs. Haha... Still got at least half a year though. But think if want to plan an interesting BD party, we better do the planning now. ;p

Back to Cayenne's fake measles issue, we went to pick her up and Lily was worried so she advised us to bring her see doctor. I told Dennis actually I'm quite sure it is fake measles & according to Mummy Wendy, there's nothing we could do. For Mummy Wendy's darling Amanda, the rashes took only few hours to subside. That was pretty fast. Cos I was reading up information on the fake measles, the rashes could last few days or few hours. So cutie Amanda was the lucky one. Hope my Cayenne's rashes will subside soon.

So Dennis asked me still need to go to see doctor. I told him yes! Haha... Being a KS mummy, I think we better bring Cayenne to see doctor for a peace of mind. ;p

Down with high fever, stomach flu virus. AGAIN!!!

Cayenne was having fever on 08th August 09, Saturday morning. Initially she was ok. But as I was hugging and kissing her (I always love to do that!), I felt her forehead kinda of feverish. Told Dennis about it, he said "No la" when he felt her forehead. But I wasn't that positive. Afterall, men are always not as attentive as women. (Most men)

Anyway recently Cayenne's appetite dropped tremendously. Her meal times always only soup. Even her favourite "Kway tiao" didn't interest her at all. What was wrong, Darling? Mummy worried.

We were thinking probably due to her teething. Her last 4 molars are coming out. So that irritates her alot. Been very cranky and keeps putting her fingers inside her mouth. Oh yes, even bite people around her! Dennis & I had been her victims so far.

Checked her temperature after we came back from Carrefour, and indeed she was running a fever. Quickly fed her fever medicine. Late afternoon, her temperature risen to about 38.8 degrees! Quickly brought her to see PD. PD told us that teething fever usually won't hit up to 38 degrees. He measured Cayenne's temperature and confirmed that she got stomach flu virus. AGAIN?!!! Seems like Cayenne's stomach is kinda of weak. Think she got this virus at least 5 times till date. ;(

Her fever came & went. Plus teething discomfort made my little girl very uncomfortable and cranky. "Glued" to me since Saturday till Monday. Almost like a koala to me the whole days these few days. Dennis tried to help me in taking care of her, but she didn't want to. Those who came near her will get a "screaming scolding" from her. Sometimes I also got it when she was extremely uncomfortable.

Sunday afternoon brought her to see doctor again. And guess what, Dennis was sick too. Gosh! I felt very stressed suddenly cos I worried about my double Cs. Stomach flu virus can spread easily. I already quarantined Cayenne away from Cayden. As Jann wasn't at home over the weekend, I and Cayenne slept in her room while Dennis & Cayden in our room. Then Sunday Dennis fell sick. No choice, we slept in Jann's room while I asked the confinement lady to sleep in my room to handle Cayden.

Midnight, I have to wake up a few times to check on my Darling Cayenne as well as Cayden. & to do some pumping. These few nights Cayenne woke up crying for me when she didn't see me sleeping beside her.

Talking about her poor appetite, these 2 days I didn't prepare any solid meals for her. She simply no appetite. Even her milk intake dropped again. What's new anyway? Kept feeding her water and sometimes she simply didn't want any water at all. Give her glucose, she didn't want to either. Sigh...

Sunday afternoon she was ok when we were playing in Jann's room. She was overall happy and laughing, then suddenly she just burst into tears. & screamed so hard. I had difficulty pacifying her. She was in great pain (I think) that she pulled my hair, hit me. I cried. Not because of the pain on me. I cried because I felt so 心痛 that my Darling is suffering! I wish the pain on me!

Diapers & Milk Powders Super Buy!

Brought Cayenne to Carrefour on 08th August 09, Saturday morning to do some shopping. Heard that there is sale going on.
