Freaky Monday

Undeniably a freaky Monday to start my week. Daphne's temperature went up to 37.7 degree celsius. I know it's just a low-fever yet for a first time Mom like me, that could still lead to panic. She woke up before 5am, symptoms like irritable and listlessness showed up. It's difficult to take my arms away from her before I left for work. I really wished I own my time.

I am thankful that my Mom is always there to take care of Daphne, and of course, to guide me on my years of motherhood. Her first-hand knowledge 30 years ago were never obsolete and it's a plus that we can now "google" helpful topics or forums to learn from others experience. Scenarios may be different but tips can be applied either way. I just wish the internet becomes a useful tool for everyone. One click and knowledge is laid upfront. I kept texting Mom and finally received an SMS from her around noon that baby is ok now and that she finished her solids. No bath time for today though. Can't wait to go home!

A friendly reminder for Moms and soon-to-be Moms, always have that medicine or children paracetamol ready to hand. You don't wanna drive at midnight when fever has already worsen. And by all means, do not panic. I am no expert but under any circumstances, that is not applicable.

Before I forget, today's post is also to share that Daphne has turned 8 months old. Though we already had an earlier celebration at home, I still want to get her even just a small cake. If she only knew how much joy she brings to us, these simple gestures couldn't be enough, and for that, I thank the Lord for giving me such an angel. Life really makes sense since we had her.

I'm almost off for work but the hours seemed to be very long. A few more minutes and I'll see the cutest smile on Earth. Patience is a virtue - check!
