HX also down with fever

I hope she get well soon. Quite worry as she is less than 6 month old. I myself still cough badly with itchy throat and running nose too.

Cough...cough...cough

Last thursday I had fever, followed by sore throat, then cough. I cough so badly till I lost my voice, or turn to hoarseness. It started with my husband then HE, then me, but my symptoms were the worst. Hubby and HE only cough once in a while, but I cough constantly. In the morning, I was able to produce some phlegm, which was green-yellowish, the rest of the day I was having dry cough.

For the past 2 nights, I was not able to sleep as I kept coughing. I could only describe my cough as " coughing my lung out" It could be quite forceful, and not quite be able to settle with lozenges nor warm water. Today, my tummy muscle was in pain when I cough.
I tried to avoid antibiotic, but I resort to it after seeing my phlegm was coloured. So I got throw away ( actually bath with it) all the breastmilk I pumped out during the 3 days antibiotic course. I seem to have improved after the antibiotic but my throat is still very itchy and my cough i still there. I hope this cough can go away soon :(

River with clear cooling water of Janda Baik

Time to play water!

 My Daddy,My hero, I am scared to walk on the river! The rock is slippery. I cry if I am asked to walk in the water, carry me please...But daddy leg got scrathed when we are trying to get to the shore as the slippery rock make us fall.

 After the water play, time for durians!

I am so tired after all the activities in nature. I got to sleep. Poor daddy still need to drive

Sesame seed in 4 month old baby's stool!

I sometimes find some 'solid' in HX stool. I thought it is due to undigested milk fat and leave it, without suspecing anything. but today I am so suprised to find 2 sesame seeds in her otherwise usual runny stool!

I am very concerned as I am afraid it is not sesame seeds but some kind of bug egg. Babysitter has been telling me that HX appetite is not that good, she can hardly finish 3 oz per feeding. Could that be the cause? got worm in the tummy? that's horrifying!
I couldn't reach babysitter to ask whether she has accidentally feed HX sesame seed, hence I test it out by my own bare hand, and found....indeed sesame seed ( phew!). But she is only 4 months old, how does she take sesame seed?
As I look carefully, the 'solid' look like oat's skin. Then I remember babysitter mention to me that she fed HX little bit bread, it doesn't alarm as I thought it is white bread bits only. But today I realize babysitter has changed from white to wholemeal bread eversince she is diagnosed diabetes. Oh no, of course HX couldn't digest that and such a high fibre food is bad for her very young stomach. Could that be the reason that her milk intake is low? We shall observe after I tell babysitter stop feeding her bread.

Taking great photo

I had once thinking of taking up photography as hobby but was back off by the expensive accesories and the film development (those days...) However, inspired by demoments,I feel like to learn photography, at least try. But first I should get myself a gadget : changgih camera. Again I am not that ambitious yet, taking DSLR, a high end compact camera probably good enough for me before I move up further ( who knows I may learn halfway...and drop...my typical style of interest or hobby pattern, always half pail (cantonese)). Anyway, before I gave birth to HX, I have been eyeing on Panasonic LX3 or Canon S90. It seems there is better version now

Canon S95

Panasonic Lumix LX5

It seems LX5 better, but definitely more expensive. Difference by 100 pounds. Anyway, keep my eye watching. 

HE and HX sleep position

HE likes to touch her ear when she is about to sleep. Since HX arrive, she likes to sleep beside her. I love to see that the big sister like to be with the small sister but I do have the concern that it will lead to sleep hazard to HX. So once in while I will have to check on them when both are asleep without having me in between them.

HX, on the other hand, starts to sleep on her tummy ever since she is good in rolling over. Thank God that she knows how to adjust her head position so that she can still breath. However SIDS concern is still in my mind.
Here is the typical sleep positions of HE and HX at the moment
