babyripp finally blogs

Celebrated my return of health with, kejar-mengejar a stroll in parkson, sushi and decaf cappucino, skimmed milk with hazelnut flavouring (oh god how I miss my regular CAFFEINATED kopi ais kurang manis in the local warungs)

Although I still feel tired most of the time.. (this morning I can only drag myself out of bed after 10am while Afya 'mengemas') So it really pays to have your home completely baby-proved. If I'm totally sick, I can lie down on the couch, keep an eye on her and let the little dearest entertain herself. Although it's kinda funny coz she still wants to breastfeed while playing so she kept on doing this drive-by breastfeeding if u catch my drift.

Because of this negative vibe going on in the house I postponed Afya's first year's immunisation. So I think this weekend we're good to go. I can only pray OH didn't catch any of my germs. I'm suddenly aware that I have lost one whole month. Still feels like we've just had that birthday dinner. I've been staying home almost every weekday as oppose to taking Afya out for lunch/jalan2 once/twice a week and having breakfast outside. Kesian betul kat budak kecik tu stuck at home with me.. she seemed pretty content though as I let her play with whatever her heart desires as long as it's safe for her. So I remember seeing her walking around the house with tudung saji lah.. duster la.. mangkuk la.. tupperware la.. potty la (clean/un-used of course).

Oh.. I saw Afya's paeds earlier this week and she gave me clarithromycin and some anti-inflammatory for the throat. Either the illness has ran its course or it's the drugs that helped out.. either way, I'm never more grateful.

My sis decided not to blog anymore.. there goes another one of my entertaining almost daily read. I haven't even got a chance to read her last entry and then I found out today she has shut down her account.

Lastly.. we're finally gonna have a weekend at home, phew! I am so gonna cook gourmet this weekend.

this is week 4 of my demam+sorethroat+batuk+myalgia episode. I'm pretty sick of getting sick. I've tried everything and just this dinner I had abalone and wolfberries soup (courtesy of FIL) Just when I tot I was getting better, I was quite okay last weekend so did that family bbq thingie and even went shopping at ikea.. then today suddenly the throat aches again.

However I am grateful that I have a not so trying child, supportive family.. very2 loving husband so what I'm trying to say is... I'll continue on being patient and doa banyak2 for my health to return. Have few things to blog about but I'm in no mood. Till then..

and yet it came back. am talking bout my sorethroat. yea yea.. I sound like a broken record. but sakittt okay. 3x in 3 weeks. I'm resorting to sharing rice porridge with that budak kecik if u wanna know how bad it is. I can hardly talk.. not because takde suara.. but the PAIN!!!! I've already completed 2 courses of antibiotics.. but I can only take amoxicillin coz that's the only one suitable for a breastfeeding mother.. so my final line of defense is 1000mg vit C daily. However am really really thankful that the fever and the neckache didn't reoccur. Mum said.. takpe sakit skit skit.. it cleanses ur dosa2 kecil. Well... that's good news.. tapi.. can't stop me from complaining.. haha... err.. takpekan.. complain?
I hope I get well before the BBQ this weekend.

My neck was hurting so bad on Sunday, I cried to sleep and OH got me s soft collar. I felt better almost instantly with it and I rest my neck sitting up and actually fell asleep like that. In case any of u r wondering, nahh.. i haven't been doing any vigorous activities prior to the muscular soreness. It just happens. Today.. no more pain in the neck I'm so relieved I can cry (I'm the crybaby after Afya). Still a bit dizzy tho.. overmedicated perhaps?

Insyaallah if my health continues to incline in this manner I will be back at parents' in you-know-where this weekend. So if any of you interested to have a photosession... drop me a line. See if I can fit a few during the weekend. In case you missed it, (probably unlikely) but here it is nevertheless... I'm venturing into photography. Children contemporary style portraiture to be exact but I can bend many ways *ngee* here's the website

aiya.. baru teringat.. I need business card.

and also.. I haven't written about day 2...

oh well... take it slow...

First it's Afya 2 weeks ago... then last week I had one of the worst episodes of fever for 3 days and this week, yesterday I had fever again. Thank God the fever's gone today but now I have really bad sorethroat and I'm coughing and I have a cold.. and my neck is stiff. No.. no.. not the meningitis kind.. it's the kind from too much coughing and blowing the nose.. I can't turn my head without pain. Only thing I can wish for right now is that I have my health back.. I miss it.. and that Afya and OH don't catch whatever bug I'm down with. 

Recovering from fever. After feeling unspecific uneasiness during the cameron trip, on Tuesday i was down with fever. Subsides with paracetamol but fever again before the next supposedly paracetamol dosage. In all, I've been having really bad fever, myalgia, arthralgia, headache, sorethroat for 3 days. I was kinda miserable. I could hardly take care of myself, let alone Afya but had to push myself anyways. OH been so supportive despite the peakest of the peak season. He can't take any days off so he tried his best to make sure we're both ok before he leaves for work. And work includes boxes of documents needing sorting out by the end of the week or else.

Today just when i thought hey maybe I'm not gonna have anymore fever today.. my throat is killing ME! I woke up in the middle of the night going aiirrr... airr.. because it's burning and it's dry and it kinda sticking and tearing apart when i try to swallow. even drinking hurts. OH bought me loacker.. i know.. am not suppose to have junks like that when I'm in this condition.. but mm.. isn't it a treat for the sick one? NOT! chewing is nice.. yummeh... then the biscuits turns tu pulp and then u realise there's no way u can get it all down without agonising PAIN. Never again will i eat loacker with a sore throat.

It's not all bad... this morning I figure the little one aces in walking (or rather, toddling) already, it's time to concentrate more on her speech.

Was napping with little one this afternoon. My head is throbbing probably from too much paracetamol then suddenly nur appeared and dropped off these. She got it for us on her trip. welcome back! thanks so much for these too cute to eat pineapples. I think were gonna juice em and savour em. OH loves pineapple juice.

Have I mentioned that OH is also resourceful?
