I feel overwhelm, it is in between of happiness and sadness. The good thing is more of the former, yes, the happiness. Why? It is because my daughter's fever has already subside. And she's asleep now. Thanks God! Though, it's not that so long but she was uneasy beginning 4:00 pm until 11 pm because of her
fever due to her vaccination pneumococcal shot. I think it's not because of that specific shot because she has been energetic (as she always is but not when came from, she always asleep after giving her milk at home from Doc) lately, instead of sleeping. Thought, she has her shot on her right leg. I felt overwhelm of that hours of carrying and pleasing her to sleep so she could rest instead of crying, though DH also helped me. The feeling of hearing her cried is indescribable feeling. Now I can relate to the good mothers why they feel this way when their child is sick.
Anyway, I hope you are feeling well now, whether you're a mommy, mom-to-be or just simply a cool person. How's everything? Do you feel the same way too ever if you're not a mom? Are you getting overwhelm if you can hear an infant/child's cry?
This is the first time that my baby love's not feeling well after her shot from vaccination or immunization journey. Well, not actually after, it's after three and a half hours (3 1/2 hrs), as she woke up. After we went home, as usual I gave her tylenol liquid, her medicine, as per advise so she won't we going to have a fever. And true enough that worked (yes past tense since right now she has a fever) for several times but now the opposite. It's my own instinct that I gave her a bathe before going to doctor for a vaccination and that does a lot. This time, she was still energetic and does her thing (like playing her feet, standing) but after she woke up, I noticed she has it(fever). So I gave her another tylenol liquid before I gave her the milk, and that was half an hour after her first total of four (4) hours from the time I gave her first.
Due to her unpleasant feeling, she likes to be carried and that's what I did. I carried her in my arms. The moment she felt asleep, that's the time I laid her down. Right now, she's being carried by DH whilst I cook rice for dinner. I'll be going to give another tylenol liquid half an hour from now. After this, will also give her milk. So I gotta go now and prepare it. See yah later!
My daughter is one source of my happiness. Four days ago, another addition of month for her age journey. My baby love daughter is not newborn no more. She's already half a year old now. She grow-up fast. She even won't fit to her other little basin when letting her sit there. Her other little basin by the way, is what I use doing her last step of bathing as I put her in her pinky tub. With her sitting in a pinky tub outside the big tub (I am not comfortable putting her pinky tub in our big tub), there's always an amount of water which contains soup especially on her bottom and such. With that, I have to give her the last pours in a little (well, not so little) pinky plastic basin. Since she won't fit sitting in that pinky basin for her last pours, I just let her stand and do the thing.
Aside from she increases her height, she increase her weight too. I am just being proud of myself being patient of giving her milk so she won't get hungry even if takes more time than others. She's just a "hard-eater" as I say, since she's hard to please to drink. Sometimes, I let her hungry so she's excited to drink.
What about yours? How's everything there in your end?
"Can't take my eyes of you", is what always in me. Even I can't have something for my own as long as she has hers, is what my motto for this time. Thought it's not always but when it comes to second thoughts, she always win. :-) It's just that she is helpless without me, she's an infant you know, is what on my mind. It's okay of myself because I am already old, my immune system and bones are just easy to back-on if something's happen unlike hers. It's just a matter of time management (I know it's easy to utter, write and such but really it's really hard to manage time), it's hard but feel it and you know what is important, priority and the next thing to do. In due time, you can have it, not all but at least most. :-)
She's always with me anywhere I am in the house. If she's asleep or playing on her toys I have to make I can see and hear her every time she makes moves or sounds. I have to wait she's asleep or having a great time lying around so I can eat or do the basic thing for myself. Or wait for my DH to be with her to do my thing.
Ah, just thinking of this apple of my eyes, is unexplainable and one can just do most things (if not everything) just for her apple. :-)
