Nathanael is down with fever! Am such a terrible mummy who didnt even know that baby is not feeling well! Fortunately grandma was here else we were so busy with the daily chores and routine with the rest of the kids that i have forgotten to think that he was down with fever when his body felt hot. Thought it was the usual weather and humidity. . Or perhaps it's just me who was constantly sweaty as though re-living confinement again. And since mimi is away for 2 weeks we have no extra help to make that sanity check. These are the days where one really appreciate the kindness and time provided by the grandparents! Rain or shine, Gong gong is here every day both morning and after work to help with the chores and looking after the kids. The third pair of hands are so important when it comes to bath time! Popo will always make a trip down whenever i ask for help, not wanting to infringe on our privacy and robbing our real parenthood experience where all things have to be hands on and rely on our own completion.
Well yes the silly old me who finally realised that nathanael is sick did it again. His fever spiked at night and i woke up this morning at 130am holding on to a super hot baby. Told chris to wake me at 12 but he has forgotten. Should have set my own alarm. Fortunately my milk supply is still pretty high. So with milk, fever seems to have started to subside. I blame myself for not being the attentive mummy that i so wanted to be. Praying hard that the fever will go away tomorrow and baby will be just as happy in his cutie elements!
Ps: despite the fever, nathanael is never reserve about showing gratitude. He gave me such a wide smile when i changed and fed him just now. Thanking me for all the sleepless hours and efforts! Get well soon my baby and all will be better!!
