In fact, she is even more sick. -.o"
Right after I finished my blog entry last night, Daddy Lim barged into the computer room and asked me to quickly go look at Lil Shauna. He didnt tell me what was wrong and my heart almost stopped at that point. I was fearing for something bad and was quite relieved to find that Lil Shauna had vomited out her milk but she was still sleeping.
She probably vomited quite a bit. The bed sheet was stained and Lil Shauna had milk on her legs, hands, face and ear. Still she was sleeping. Must be the fever. We wiped up and had decided to leave the soiled bedsheet until tonight.
Lil Shauna's heartbeat was really fast when I picked her up and my tots started running wild. Is she developing an reaction to the medicine? Is it not just fever? Has it got anything to do with the vomiting? Daddy Lim asked me to not think too much, afterall, Lil Shauna appeared to be sleeping peacefully. I was quite pissed with myself for not knowing if babies (or Lil Shauna) have faster heartbeat than adults normally causing myself to be in such a helpless situation. I kept taking her temperature to make sure that she's alright and found that her body temperature was quite low. Thus I had the air-con switched off. Poor Daddy Lim.
I woke up a few times in the night to make sure that Lil Shauna was Ok. This morning, Lil Shauna still felt warm at 37.2 degrees, but she was more alert and playful than last night. Not only does she feel warm, she was coughing and I can hear the phlegm when she coughs! Then she sneezed! Arrrggghhhh...
I had a hard time trying to feed her the fever medicine this morning. Last night, she stupidly ate the whole mouthful thinking that the pink liquid was some good mum mum. Today, she's cleverer, she took a little of it and decided that it was not too good. Then, she tried another bit of it and decided that it is indeed bad and refused to take the rest. We had to bluff her. -.o"
If fever is bringing cough, running nose and sore throat along, there will be more medicine to take. Poor baby. Daddy Lim and I are on standby now. If her condition worsen, one of us will make the rush to bring her to the doctor.

Lil Shauna is Sick!
Bcos Lil Shauna had heat rash, Daddy Lim made her walk half naked after her bath last night. In fact, she was butt naked for a while. Daddy Lim even wanted me to tell my mum to leave her half naked in the day. Heat rash mah, so must eliminate heat (sorrie for the video, duno how to flip).
In the late morning, my mum called to say that Lil Shauna is developing a mild fever! I left office at 6.30pm to fetch Lil Shauna.
She wasnt as active as usual. There wasnt any bouncing to welcome us and there was a cooling pad stuck to her forehead. She looks tired and has sleepy eyes and was super sticky and whiny. She measured 37.8 degree. We had a quick dinner and brought her home.
We gave her another shower when we reached home in attempt to keep her body temperature down. We also fed her medicine. She looks better after the shower and medicine.
Her temperature has dropped to normal. Daddy Lim then asked me if it is really his fault causing Lil Shauna to fall sick. Hohoho. No lah, bb. I am guessing that her molars are coming out. Or maybe she caught a cold virus somewhere. Poor baby.

Rash
Lil Shauna's rash didnt go down after 3 days.
My mum suggested that we bring her to the doctor even when we both tot that it is probably nothing serious. As per all mummies, I tot might as well, to play safe.
Actually, I think it is just heat rash. The weather has been horrible recently and Lil Shauna takes after Daddy Lim. She can sweat buckets.
We wanted to bring her to the PD, but the clinic was closed. So, we brought her to the GP.
The doctor looked at her rash (while Lil Shauna stare back as what she usually does when she sees stranger). Then, she takes her temperature. Then she tried for the longest time to look within her little mouth, which was clamp tightly. We had to try to bluff her with sweets. Then, it was the usual hand and feet inspection.
After all the checks, the doctor made an education guess and concluded that "it is probably heat rash". Chey! I think I can be doctor liao. We were just given some lotion and medication to apply but $37 poorer when we left the clinic. -.o"

HellBoy II
Daddy Lim wanted to watch HellBoy II last night. We happened to be in JP and he suggested buying DVD to watch after Lil Shauna has slept. We even bought durian to go with the DVD. Hohoho.
We were busy trying to tuck Lil Shauna to bed after we reached home. Lil Shauna finally went to bed at about 10pm and we started watching our DVD plus durian. Yummy.
The show wasnt too bad but I was wondering what happened in HellBoy I. Daddy Lim then tried to explain and said that we watched HellBoy I together, which I totally have no re-collection. By the time the show ended, it was almost midnight and we crawled to bed.
This morning, we were so tired. Looks like DVDs are best kept to weekends' nights. On our way to work, I asked Daddy Lim about HellBoy I again and told him that I have never watched that movie before. He shared the whole storyline of HellBoy I and still kept insisting that he watched it with me. He even highlighted a few scenes, trying to help me "remember" that I have watched it with him. He went on to say that HellBoy I was screened these recent few years and he must have watched it with me. Otherwise, who?
When I came into the office, I was complaining to my colleague. One of them did a quick search in yahoo. HellBoy I was screened in year 2004. I wasnt with Daddy Lim then lor. -______________-"
See, it wasnt me! I msg Daddy Lim and he pai seh-ly apologised. Chey!

Angry
We heard on the radio yday morning that Singapore has a total of 40 cases of Swine Flu (SF). Out of which, only 1 real transmitted case, whom is a close contact of an infected case. The rest are all imported cases! The latest were a 9-year-old Malaysian boy who who back from a holiday and a 22-year-old man who also came back from a holiday. This morning, the figure had jumped to 47 cases, which include 3 siblings aged 8, 6 & 4, whom have again came back from a holiday.
I was angry while listening to the news. OK, I do agreed that some people have to travel for good reasons, but why are people still taking the risk to go on holiday to infected countries? They wanted to take a risk, probably bcos they had already paid for their holiday and didnt want to spend extra $$ on changes. But when they are back in Singapore, they put us at risk leh. We! Innocent us who didnt dare to travel to Japan for fear of catching the flu! Boo hoo! I bet the parents of that 3 young siblings are probably feeling very guilty now. Bcos they had gone ahead with their plans, they now have to spend more $$, time and energy looking after their 3 sick kids. Pui! Bad parents!
Then Daddy Lim told me about his 2 colleagues who traveled to US bcos they have already bought their tickets way before the SF kicks in and they went ahead with their tour in the heat of the SF to avoid paying extra for changes. Hello??!!
Then my bro will be travelling to US soon for business trip. Double hello??!! What is his Company thinking? We have 3 young babies at home! Haiz.. I am speechless. Yes, the world doesnt stop spinning just bcos there is SF going on. But isnt it just been declared as a World Pandemic? Yet, people dun seem to even care about its seriousness. Why did WHO bother to change the alert from Stage 5 to 6?
A different thing altogether. Lil Shauna developed an angry rash on her back yday's morning. There was also a little on the lower part of her abdomen and face. My mum called and asked wat happened. I didnt even noe that she had rashes. Bad Mummy. I was ready to bring her to the PD if the rash worsen but Lil Shauna appeared OK and just as playful. So it was just plain lotion. Her condition is much better this morning.
I think the rash appeared in the night cos her skin was still silky smooth when I bathe her after swimming on Sunday evening. We were wondering what caused the rashes. The swimming pool water? The pail that she bathe in was dirty? She developed an allergy reaction to the stuff that we fed her on Sunday night? She had cheese cake. Hmmm...

Pictures
Lil Shauna looks super cute when she wakes up in the morning or from her nap.
My sis is into photography recently and got herself a super expensive camera with many, many functions.
I offered to lend her Lil Shauna as a model for practice and charge her minimal fee. But she declined me flat. Chey!
Anyway, she still took a few pix for us and I get to play with her camera too. A few shots that I took. Not too well, a bit blur but I am happie enuff already.
My favouites.
The first one was so professionally taken wor (in my opinion lah). I even got her flying hair. Hohoho. The second one was just so comical. She looked as if she's waiting for a body search. ;p
Some of the pixs that my sister took for us.
She's into black & white too.
This is my sis' favourite.
My sis has a link for all her nice pixs that she took. The link is in my office email. Will post when I get it. I asked her to put all the pix up but she said only nice pix will make it up there. So only that favourite one will go up. Pui! Lil Shauna so cute, all her pix all nice hor. ;p
Mummy Lim
No!
We realised that Lil Shauna is beginning to refuse when we sometimes want to take something from her. I was just wondering if it is a natural reaction or she learnt it from somewhere. I think it is the latter.
I went to my mum's place this morning hoping to escape a little. Then I saw the girls (Felicia & Lil Shauna) fighting for toys. Lil Shauna was playing with a toy camera. Felicia wanted that toy and started "bao bao, bao bao", as she usually would when she wanted something from Lil Shauna. This "bao bao" episode will happen so many times in one day. Back to the point, Lil Shauna refused to let her have the toy and Felicia attempted to snatch the toy for her. So, I saw our little princess clutched the toy tightly with both hands, swung her hands (with the toy) left and right for a few times and finally swung to the side that is far away from Felicia. Then Lil Shauna shouted at Felicia, as if trying to say, "No! That is MY toy or at least I saw it first and I picked it up first!". Then, Felicia couldnt get what she wanted and started crying and kicked up a fuss. I bet if I am not around, the adults would probably try to bluff the toy from Lil Shauna and give it to Felicia in attempt to stop her crying. When she throw tantrums, it is actually quite bad. -.o"
I was telling my mum that Lil Shauna probably picked up from her 2 cousins and my mum replied that it is no surprise since Lil Shauna spent so much time with the 2 girls. I jokingly said that Lil Shauna has learnt self-defence! For the longest time, she has her toy snatched from her and all she can do is to sit around stupidly and looked at whoever that snatches her toy away. Then she will pick up another toy and have the same thing happen to her again and again. Our princess is fighting back... but... hmmm.. I wonder if there is a good thing. I tot people say that if baby grow up with other babies, they will learn how to share? How come Lil Shauna is learning how to fight?
Oh, we had hell at my mum's place this morning. The 3 girls went in the living room as per usual. Fione was probably seeking attention and wanted the maid to play with her. Then, my mum wanted the maid to carry Felicia. Lil Shauna was also fussy probably bcos it was almost porridge time and she's hungry. My mum wanted to carry Lil Shauna to give me a rest. Then, Fione started throwing tantrum and crying bcos she wanted the maid all to herself and forbid the maid to carry Felicia. To try to appease Fione, the maid wanted to put Felicia down, which made Felicia cried. Lil Shauna also cried bcos she was playing with me and my mum wanted to carry her. So we have 3 crying babies. My mum scolded Fione for being unreasonable which made her cried more. Felicia stated throwing tantrums and continued crying. Lil Shauna stopped and started again bcos the 2 jie jies were crying. Arrgggghhhh! And my bro & SIL were still discussing about terminating the maid! I seriously duno how they will manage if they sent the maid away. Their 2 kids are just amazingly difficult. Lil Shauna is nothing compared to them and I sometimes think Lil Shauna is difficult. Haiz.
I had tot about taking over the maid but we will be very stretched financially and Lil Shauna is getting easier. We dun need a maid now. Maybe when no. 2 comes along. Oh, I was just telling Mummy P that day that if I dun need to go thru' pregnancy and giving birth, I dun mind 3 kids! But looking at the mess this morning, I think I better think 3x, 4x, 5x! Hohoho.

Addicted to Lil Shauna
Lil Shauna is a drug. As she grows and reciprocates, her magnetic fields seems to grow stronger and we ended up like helpless iron flakes.
We missed her like crazy when we dun bring her home. I cant bear but have to bring her home even when I work late. Thus all the crazy rush home at 8pm so that we can pick the baby, spend some time "walking" with her and tucking her to bed. Apparently, Daddy Lim and I are not the only victims.
Yeye and nainai fall prey too. We will try to spend every Sunday at their place so that they have more time to interact with Lil Shauna. From the 2 hours and have dinner every Sunday, we have upgraded to 8 or 9 hours. We basically sit around and do nothing much, but yeye and nainai had great joy just watching Lil Shauna.
Before Daddy Lim & I got married, we used to coop in the room. After we got married and shifted out, we barely visit them 2x per month. We tried fortnightly when Lil Shauna was swimming in my tummy. Now, we are there every Sunday.
Should we are a little late, say after 2pm. Daddy Lim's hp will ring. Yeye or nainai will call and ask when Lil Shauna is coming. Yes, not us, but Lil Shauna. I bet it doesnt matter if we are there. If Lil Shauna can take the MRT, they wouldnt mind if she goes alone. Haha. If we cant go on any of the Sundays, we know that they will feel disappointed. At the end of the Sunday visit, nainai will walk us all the way to the staircase and kept telling Lil Shauna to come again next week!
Lil Shauna seems to glue the family together. Now, I go home for dinner almost every night and accompany my mum (vice versa) for window shopping on weekends. Something that I dun do before I got married. I even go out with my bro's family. At yeye's place, everybody would try to be in the living room, so as to spend some time with the baby. That just leaves us more time to interact too.
Lil Shauna is an addiction but a blessing as well. A great gift from God, an answer to our prayers. Thank you, Lord. :)

Picaso in the Making
Lil Shauna has taken to drawing. She loves pens and markers, but always ended up with ink on her hands, legs, clothes, floor and table. We decided to help develop her creativity and found her some non-toxic crayons instead (courtesy of ah yee). To prevent her from colouring the floor, we got her mahjong paper and put her in the middle of the paper.
Her creation, with Mummy's help.
Check out her pants. Got crayon mark, just like how artists sometimes get paint on themselves. Hohoho.
