i need a break

I seriously thought princess is going back to her normal self today considering her display of usual chirpy self yesterday evening. Her fever has subsided (last measured was 37.1 degree) and she's actually asking for food.

But alas, Rashes Outbreak!


Well its a good sign to have the breakout for it shows the toxic is being splurged out from her body (goodness gracious can a 8-month baby be THAT toxic?!). REALLY can someone take pity on mummy!!! I'm having serious serious lack of sleep for the past 3 nights and I was thinking to myself "Mmm..finally I can take a good break". sigh. My wishful thinking. She has been whinning throughout the night.... and by the break of dawn, she will only sleep on your shoulders!


To ease our mind (it looks like measles), we made another trip to the West Point clinic doctor (Dr Chuang) and the diagnosed is ROSEOLA aka Baby Measles. The symptom (usually) - 3 days high fever afterwhich the breakout of rashes. The cure - lots of water. The rashes will disappear within 2 days. The damage - $20.

Lesson #1: Never plan your day with a baby around. Let the baby plan your day.

So today mummy is stuck at home with a still-sick baby. There goes my Sunday. Please can someone come up with a Motherhood Survival Guide.

Psst: another child? gimme a break!
