Bryan's fever finally subsided on Monday. One whole week of sleepless nights and days for Mommy and Grandma. We were so worried that we visited the uni hospital on Sunday evening. The doctor was also worried on hearing about the long persistent high temperature - since last Tuesday evening. So she did a saliva test, an urine test and a blood test just to make sure everything was fine.
The hospital was so crowded! So many kids were ill... so we weren't the only sleep-deprived parents out here. It's usually like this: changing of seasons, temperature fluctuates like your shares prices! A week ago it was still 1 to 2 degrees, but last Sunday was so humid and warm that the thermometer recorded a reading of 16.5! How not to fall sick???!!!! Some nights in summer might not even be as warm!
Kristin is cutting her first tooth. So still no hope of decent sleep for me. She's recovering from her cough... I have been thinking of giving her a bottle of formula at night in the hope of better sleep. On the other hand, I can't bear to give up breastfeeding so soon. Big dilemma now... coz introducing formula will definitely lower breastmilk supply.
What else can Kristin do now? She can: Crawl backwards, clap her hands to music, sort of wave bye-bye, babble, scream when her toys are snatched away, complain when her brother comes too near her, shake her head when she doesn't like something. She likes to go out, even if it's to the balcony for some fresh air! She has shown signs of separation anxiety way ahead of her brother when he was her age.
