It's THE dreaded time of the month... The JAB... This time would be the hep B vaccination. Think the parents get all stressed up whenever baby Si is due to have her jabs. Mr. Hubby tagged along once before and he teared up when the needle poked his lil' princess and it was too traumatic of an experience for him to ever tag along again. Why all these stress when once again baby Si turned out to be a trooper!!! She only cried for a sec and stopped as soon as I stood up to walk. Even the Nurse was impressed.
However baby Si did not fare well in her assessment this time. She didn't gain any weight (well she gained and lost it) since the last month's check up and dropped to the 25th percentile.I suspect it's due to her being sick 1 whole week while we were back in msia. (first time she fell sick-cough,flu,fever... The flu bug was going around in Msia). First, this mummy got sick, then passed it to my baby, then baby passed it back to mummy! So heartbreaking to see her sick and every time I fed her wt her medicine, she would cry as if I'm torturing her. :(
(Also this mummy even planned and managed to convinced the grandparents to do a last min getaway trip to Hatyai, Thailand but ended up only po po and gong gong went). This mummy decided an hour before we were about to leave for the airport that it's just not worth taking the risk. Being an ex stewardess and speaking from experience, flying in the air while having flu is a big NO NO. Can cause ear drum damaged and deafness! Not taking any chances with baby Si. She is so much more precious compared to all the yummy Thai food and endless massages that Thailand can offer!
So back to our checkup...
Baby Si stats:
Age: 6 mths 13 days
Weight: 6.8kg in the 25% percentile
Height: 63 cm height in the 25% percentile
Head circumference: 42.2 cm in the 25% percentile
It's ok baby Si, mummy will "fatten" u up, hopefully, now that we just started on solids... Btw, *updates on her solids* baby Si rather play spit the food at mummy rather than actually swallowing it! She thinks it's funny and laugh after blowing food+bubbles+saliva...
Mummy's prayers answered, "always a healthy, happy and contented baby!!!"
This was my prayer said daily when Baby Si was in my belly ;)

Baby Sienna, when you are older and able to read, for this section, I just want to say that you gave me the flu as well :) but it was such a joy playing and taking care of you.
ReplyDeleteIt also made my heart ache when you were crying and being forced fed the medication by your mother. Just for the record, if you do have flashbacks of that torture, remember your mother forced me to hold your tiny hands and legs down and to force your mouth open. It was all her...im the fun uncle..
Anyway do continue to grow up and be the joyful girl to your parents, grandparents and everyone around you. Always be good
Respect,
Uncle Jepp.
