Aiyoh.. what a Headache
Nope, I did not attempt to bathe Joey again today. That's because my darling caught a chill! This morning when we woke up, we found her sneezing and her breathing was loud because of her runny nose. So we quickly brought her to see our GP - Dr Jane.
Thank God her runny nose was not serious and after putting some nose drops, she's almost totally OK already by now. It would have been disastrous if it developed into a cough or fever. Then she'd feel so uncomfortable and we will have no peace.
Dr Jane weighed her and found that she's now 4.7kg! That's an increase of 1.3kg since birth and Dr Jane said that's quite a feat and she's in the 90th percentile of babies at her age. But also expected la, since she drinks so much milk. At less than one month old, she's already drinking 130ml of milk every 2 & half to 3 hours. That's about double of what most babies at her age drinks. So I guess if she's not putting on weight, we'd have to worry. Thank God also that her appetite and bowel movements have not been affected, so can at least put our hearts at ease.
Since I have also been sick for at least 4 days now, I also asked Dr Jane to examine me. It's weird because I will always have a fever everyday around 5pm onwards all the way until the midnight or the next morning, and my appetite is bad. During the day I am still fine, so it's only from evening onwards for the past few days, and my temperature can get as high as 39 degrees.
So after examining me, Dr Jane said it's because I haven't been drinking enough water & fluids! And that's true because I really haven't been drinking water because old people say drinking water during confinement is bad and will cause bloatedness, and i can't take too much sweetened drinks too because of the sugar content. But I guess from today onwards, I'll just have to take lots of water and heck care the bloatedness..
