Flu..Fever...Bugss

Missy had fever last Thursday early morning. We rushed down to KK, given flu medicine and she is ok but fever still persistent, so Sat we drop by SK Polyclinic, given flu medicine and she is all ok , no fever, but still have running nose and cough+phlegm till today.

Sent her to childcare like usual, she is happy and cheerful in the morning. But, teacher calledup at 10 plus, saying her temp is 38deg Cels. OMG why ?why ? why ? got me worried and i rushed down in cab to pick her up, she is normal, no crying, just body warm warm. We again rushed down to KK. tested urine, normal. so UTI ruled out. doc said they do not test for H1N1 for children anymore. she checked her throat, said it's red and slight inflame. fever may last till 5days.so we were given 5 days mc. given antibiotics too.headache. how to get missy to swallow the antibiotics ??

so, home again, get her to take the flu medicine, no prob. but expected the funny taste in the antibiotics is not missy's liking. rejected. sigh. got to thk of a way to get her take it.

so, i've been off from work since. how to work like tat ? sigh. why so many bugs around. i now feel sick too. sigh.

Flu flu go away !

Missy Singing

So far songs missy sings:

4. Butterfly - im still not sure what song is this.. something butterfly, flying high
5. San ji lao hu

Missy goes to school

last month, whenever i ask her, " we go to school ?" she will start crying and keep saying " Dun want school " we basically cannot even mention the word school when talking to her.. tt'll trigger her tear buds..

But, now, when she refuse to get up from bed in the morning after 7am. i will tell her " you want to go to school ?" she will replied " i want go to school" and i will tell her " then u have to get up and brush your teeth " she will obligingly, follow me to toilet to clean up and change and get ready to school.

last month, whenever we are outside of her school she will cry and refuse to get in.

Now, she will smile and happily waiting for me to unbucker her and let her climb down from her pram to walk into her school. I will give her "bonus" by letting her press the door bell. hee..

last time, she refused to let teacher to check her temperature and mouth before entering class.

Now, she let teacher take her temperature and open her mouth happily for teacher to check. she even gives free hugs to teacher and teacher said she is a cheerful girl.

Tt's how my missy adapt herself in a new environment. cute cute. she will greet me "zao an" in the morning when i greet her 'good morning" not bad huh.

Little Missy 2nd Birthday

We have celebrated missy's 2nd birthday at home last Saturday. This round, again, we have our home-cooked food, with sushi, chinese cuisines, my all-time favourite salad and egg tarts and of course, missy's minnie Swenson's ice cream cake. Yum yum. Missy welcome her birthday by singing her Happy birthday songs she picks up from school. she even sings her ABC songs and LGG videod it down. cute. she now still tell me "Happy birthday, blow candles" how she has developed her linguistic skills compare to last year, when she just picked up her walking. time fliesss. My girl is turning two already. Missy now enjoy her childcare, she will climb onto her pram happily in the morning and sometimes sing on the way to her school. and happily walk into her school after hugs and kiss to me. great improvement. The teachers are right. children can adapt after 1 month and tt's exactly what happen. Loads of photos taken for missy but my home Pc cant seem to load the photos. so got to find out the reason first. Sigh. Happy Birthday my little Missy ! Mummy wishes you all the best, good health, Happy days everyday. The love of my life.

Number two

so far, i feel this one may bit a fussy pot for sure. things i eat will have funny reaction sometimes. Sunday i cooked spaghetty and while eating i suddenly feel like vomiting.. and i have to eat slowly and after finishing i still feel like vomiting.

i noticed my appetite has improved a lot but selective food will have such reaction. Last time , this did not happen. and i still have slight morning sickness during morning and evening especially during brushing teeth time. always will trigger puking.

went for my NT scna to detect possibility for DS in August. Percentage is low. so no need to do further test. Finger cross.

Went for Gynae scan this month, cant see bb's gender yet. oh well. im not so curious actually. so long my pregnancy journey is enjoyable and smooth.boy or girl still my child.

so, next appt will be end of this month and then will go for detailed scan in October..all nicely scheduled.

i really think i will just stop at two. no more. i have experienced birth giving, being a mother, being a wife. im very contented le. Second prenancy is to ensure missy has a sibling as company. so, tt's in the pipeline now. tt's all i will "contribute" to my family plan.

After that, im gonna concentrate on bringing my children up. and of course at the same time, enjoy my life. lalalal.. well.. all within my plan that i have sort of drafted years back. family focus (married, giving birth) before 35 yo. after that i shall concentrate on my career or hobby and self-grooming.
