Keira was down with fever last Thursday morning. Probably got the flu virus from my mum who was sick on Wednesday. It was too last minute for either of us to stay home with Keira when we only found out mum was sick on our way to bro's home. Lucky K papa managed to take urgent leave 2nd half of day - but all was too late, Keira caught the flu!
How vulnerable bbs are! Walked from home on thurs though... Keira was so sick. Her cough was really bad.. phlegm and all... each time she coughed, she'll cover her mouth followed by "pain pain".... *sob*. Keira's fever gone down by Sat, but her cough will take her awhile to recover, and her voice was cracking. So tough to tell her not to scream/cry/talk... I was so worried that she'll lose her voice! Good Grief, I went thru that and certainly do not want her to go thru it! Good for her...she did not lose her voice... however, this time round, K papa got the flu from Keira!!!DUH! It's super contagious!
Last night, I woke up with sore throat... and I began to worry... thots of Laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx, usually accompanied by hoarseness and coughing or temporary lost of voice)...scares the hell out of me!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... I do not want to contract that again! Immediately, I took an extra srong strepsil (although I wasn't sure if I can take that while preggie :( ).
Hope we'll all get through this virus and not have any trouble! I can't afford to get sick - for bb #2 and my work :(

Super Weird...
So what's wrong with Keira lately? She's been behaving really weird... super weird....
Here are the unusual things happening to her:
1) She stopped drinking milk since last friday (till now - it's been 5 days). These 2 days, she will only drink when my niece is also drinking (in the morning, that's it). She lost weight too, can definitely tell from her face and tummy...
2) She's been calling "ah ma" and "ah gong" alot. Every nite when I bring her home, she'll want to be carried, refuse to let me get changed. She'll sob/cry for ah ma and ah gong until she ZZzzz in my arms...(so I have to carry her and walk around for a good 20 mins every nite... hmm.. a preggie carrying a 9.5kg for 20mins!)
3) The way she looks at strangers these days... more weird than anything! Previously, she'll be a little shy and still smiley. This time around, she stare at them with face tilting back, eyes squeezed upwards, lips locked.. as if she's going to fight them. Gosh... Funny thing is... with this look of hers, those strangers found her really cute!!! my....hope she will not behave this way when we go visiting on CNY! :s
4) Crying and crying over the weekends... we still can't figure out why, what's wrong...
All of the above, I can only suspect the following causes:
- Could it be that we left her with ah ma and ah gong for 2 weeks coz I was travelling?
- Could it be that she's teething with pre-molars?
- Could it be due to...hmmm.....something... not clean (arrghh... I dun want to believe in this)
- Could it simply be due to growing up changes?
Hmm... I have no idea! I called Dr Ngiam yesterday, was hoping to fine answer(s). I was surprised ... when ...
Dr said: Dun worry, if she is just not drinking milk, no problem. They dun need milk after 6 mths, they only need solids.
I said: Huh? really? I thought they need milk for calcium up to 2-3 yrs old?
Dr said: That's wha ang moh say! You are not ang moh.
I said: So how do I ensure she gets enough calcium etc.
Dr said: From the solids that she eats.
I said: Well, I am not sure why her behaviour is so weird, not sure if she's teething
Dr said: If she is only refusing milk, then dun worry.
I said: Do I need to bring her down to see you.
Dr said: No need.
So, I am not too convinced about the milk thing. If possible, I'll like Keira to have some milk everyday as a supplement. I mean, how are we to ensure that she gets enough of vitamins/nutrients from solids.
So... despite all the above... here's a video clip of Keira trying to see what I was taking on my phone.
