Recovering

Syukur alhamdulillah..Anaqin is recovering at the moment from the nasty bug. A day after he got hit by the bug, he got constipated as well. It pained us to see him in that condition...crying whenever there's the urge to pass motion but couldnt do it as the stools has become too hard that it's just too painful for him. Got him to sit on his potty and eventually the hard stools finally came out. He was totally exhausted after the cruel ordeal and slept right after.
I've read somewhere that once a child becomes constipated and has hard and painful stools, he will then begin to hold in his bowel movements to prevent it from hurting again. This creates a cycle that makes the constipation continue and become worse. And that's exactly what's happening with Anaqin at the moment. I think he's holding his bowel movements thus making him constipated again. I've decreased his milk formula and totally no more cereals at the moment (I used to add Frisocrem into his milk formula as he do not like to eat). Though he drinks lots of water..he still got constipated. We're gonna monitor him and if his constipation continues, we'll heed to the pediatrician for further advise and medication.

Nasty Bug

Shucks..the nasty bug has landed. I first noticed Anaqin sneezing frequently last nite and his nose started to water slightly. After his last milk feed, he slept and around 1 plus in the morning, he woke up crying and coughing and eventually vommited. Darl cleaned up the bedspread, and change it while I put on a fresh PJ on Anaqin, rubbed some vicks on his chest and back and he drifted off to sleep soon after. But that's not the end of it..every 1 hour or so, Anaqin would wake up, crying maybe due to his blocked nose and we have to pacify him to sleep.
Both me and the husband are light sleepers therefore whenever Anaqin stirs, we woke up as well ... thus making us feel like zombies the morning after. Sms my boss & told her I'm taking the morning off coz I need to send Anaqin to the doc. Darl on the other hand took the whole day off. Our trip to the doc had to be postponed for a while as it was pouring outside. Once the weather has subsided, off we went. Got a whole load of medication for Anaqin and afterwards I make my way to the office while Darl brought Anaqin and my helper home.
Hopefully Anaqin's able to sleep well tonite and recover soon...insyaallah..

Long Relaxing Weekend


Here's a quick re-cap of the long weekend:- Friday Wasnt feeling too well..felt the fever creeping up last nite so the whole day I was all nicely bundled in my sweater. Weather outside has been raining thus making it a really cool day.

Saturday Felt slightly better. I tried my hands at making tiramisu (virgin attempt). It's basically similar like cheesecake and there's no baking involved. Later in the afternoon went to a wedding then at night to Sheng Shiong.

Sunday Had steamboat cum bbq @ home in conjunction with 2 birthdays celebration. Then it was time to present my tiramisu..luckily i managed to tip out the tiramisu without making too much of a mess. Taste wise, alhamdulillah..everyone seemed to like it.. :)

Quiet Weekend

It was a quiet weekend. Spent time with my precious Anaqin..watching Chicken Little, The Incredibles or Wallace & Gromit movies back to back. I also tried my hands on making cream puffs..recipe graciously given by her. But it was such a dissapointment. The puffs flopped and didnt rise at all! Seeing the result, I just stopped making the rest of the batter. Oh well, there's always another time to try it out.. :)

Long Nite Out

On Saturday afternoon, went to visit my mak long (late dad's side) at GH. She was warded last week and is now in ICU. It saddened me to see her in that condition coz she's always appeared to be healthy. And looking at her reminds me so much of my late dad. Anyway, after the hospital visit, we went to Yatie's baby cukur rambut @ Eunos. It was held under the void deck. Didnt get to take shots of her baby..coz baby bz kena pass around..so in the end, amik gambar wif my sista's latest addition..the ever growing liyana..ehe.
* Afterwards, we went to have supper @ KTM. Left the house ard midnite and guess what time we came back home? 6am!! Coz after supper the guys decided to play biliard at East Coast. It was another FUN outing I had with with my siblings and their other halfs..we should do this often guys!
