SICK!!!

Dealing with a sick toddler is not easy and the last few days were quite difficult for all of us. Jenna is down with fever and cold.She was crying throughout the day and the watery eyes and runny nose were not making it easy for her. I did not know what to do to make it better for her. I called the doctor office and the nurse says the same old,give her a warm bath,give her lot of fluids.She is feeling much better today and is almost back to normal. It really breaks my heart when i see Jenna not her normal self and sick.She doesnt fall sick easily but if she does it really knocks her out.

TERRIBLE WEEK

It has been a hell of a week.. First of all,Jenna has fallen sick.. She has not been her usual self for the past 2 days, she has been running a low grade fever...We visited the doc and she is on medicines now : ( I just hope she gets better soon.. I'm leaving on Tuesday and i thought i will postpone the tickets but the doc gave me the go-ahead sign and told me not to worry.. I'm just worried because its a long trip and she is just recovering, anyway i 'm just praying to God that everything should go well.. On th other hand,i have been busying packing, three suitcases for 2 months trips,loaded with diapers,clothes and gifts for my cousins out there in India..I hopeful plan to potty train and wean her in India, ofcourse with my mother's help : )

We will be celebrating her 2nd birthday in India with grandparents and cousins..I have already started planning for her party,just 2 months and my baby will turn 2....it feels like yesterday i was planning for her 1st birthday party..phew!!!!! time just flies

TWO DOCTOR VISITS IN ONE DAY

Phew! what a day it has turned out be... We got up very early today since we had the first morning appointment with Jenna' s doc... it turned to be as expected,she screamed her heads off when she saw the nurse and doc.. didnt allow to weigh her,measure her head circumference... she jus cried all the way through,the good thing about this was by the time she had to get her shots... she jus got tired and didnt cry much and as soon as we came out the office she stopped crying and was looking at the rain and said nanni which means ''water'' in our native language .
We were back home and i was jus browsing,Jenna was playing by herself and she was taking things out of my handbag,all of sudden she takes a 20$ bill out of the wallet and i thought she was going to tear it and immediately pulled it from her and turned and suddenly SNAP! i hear a sound in my neck... im not able to move my neck in any direction.. i thought it was minor sprain but as time goes by it gets unbearable,i call up my hubby and ask him to take me to a doc since i know this is unusual.. well thank god !we got a chiropractor appt within an hour...

After long history taking ,the dr examines me and says i didnt expect it could be this bad,my cervical (neck)vertebrae bone was slightly out of place and was surprised that this happened by pulling a bill out of toddler's hand .. he then held my neck and quickly snapped it back... god bless the chiropractor!i cried out of relief... he then placed some massager which helps to reduce soreness and said it will take 2 days to heal.

i have the next appt on friday... it still pains a little but not like what it did in the morning.It has really been such a rough day : (

BACK FROM MY SLUMBER!

I 've been so bad at blogging nowadays,mainly because im so lazy but i do read all my favourite blogs...Coming to us,we had a really bad weekend...Jenna got a stomach bug and she was throwing up four times for the past 4 days...this is her first time getting sick,she has got cold before but nothing major..Its really heart wrenching to watch your daughter throwing up,crying and helpless..she clinged on to me and i sat hugging her the entire time she was sick.. but when she had thrown up and was feeling well,she was her usual self..she didnt take an ounce of pedialyte or water and jus wanted to breastfeed....what a life saver it was ,it was the only food he can tolerate and she stayed hydrated..thank god for that...i have not resumed her diet and she is on a bland diet like rice and crackers...to add mess to this situation i caught the bug from her but it was not severe for me,i was zonked for a day but ended up fine...with 2 sick people at home my hubby took care of the entire house.. cooking,cleaning,dish washing...im just blessed.. what more can i say??

GO AWAY!COMMON COLD.. GO AWAY!

Go away.. big green monster ! is Jenna 's favourite song right now which is apt for the halloween season...and all i want right now is the cold to go away... Jenna seems to be ok with a little runny nose but for me its horrible... im not prone much to infections here but in India its a different story... i used to fall sick every month mostly infection of the sinus.. but after coming here i feel my sinusitis has improved ,only 2 infections in 3 years... good!Once i got the cold immediately i thought it was the flu...and that reminds me i have to get a flu shot this week...Jenna is yet to get her flu shot too...about the swine flu shot im still skeptical about taking that since there is a lot of story going behind it.. will wait until next month for that..

RANDOM

Though im feeling sick,its itching to write,cold,sorethroat,bodyache .. nothing can stop me.... im falling sick after two long years,so i really forgot how sore throat feels... yesterday i was terribly sick and i couldn't tend to Jenna properly ,so i called my hubby from the office to come to rescue and he took Jenna out so i could get some rest..yesterday she was in her peak activeness and i was unable to manage...btw Jenna is walking alone.. yup at 9 months,dr said only if she takes 6 steps its considered walking but she takes more than 6 steps so for the record she is officialy walking. But she does go back to crawling if she wants to reach an object faster.Then,i made a yummy chocolate cake on Friday and it tasted yum but i didnt make the frosting ,jus plain chocolate cake ,next time i got to try the chocolate frosting...
