Baobei goes diaperless - Day 5

It seem like it is quite a success, except that there is an "accident" on Day 4 where Baobei wet herself.. Lucky with the blue sheet, else the whole bed will be wet!!!... Anyway, well done darling!! Mummy is proud of u!!!

Baobei goes diaperless

Finally the day we are all waiting for is here, few days ago when daddy took out the last few diapers in the wardrobe and asked baobei if we are still going to buy new pack of diapers.. And her replied was "No Need"...

Today, we asked baobei to same question again, "Do you still need to buy new pack of diapers" and her reply is still "No Need".. Ok fine... since she is all ready, we should be more encouraging...

So mummy asked aunty ML to help us to get the blue sheet (is a blue absorbent sheet which generally used for confinment mummies). Placed it underneath the bedsheet just in case if there is really miscue and wet the whole mattress...

2nd Pregnancy - 13th week gynae check

Yea is time to meet the little one in the tummy again.. DAddy, mummy & jiejie are so excited... Esp Baobei.. She woke up, readily go and get prepared.

WE first have our lunch @ Boon TOng Kee, then headed to TMC. Yummy, is chicken rice again..
 

During the scan, Dr Lim said foetus is growing well, at 13wks 5days, is now 7.36cm. And from the scan, we can clearly see the head, body (bone structure), 2 arms & legs are kicking in the tummy.. He tried to peep on the gender, but because of its position, he can only make a dare guess... **WITH BIRDIE**.. Well this is not confirmed yet, has to wait till the next appt then perhaps to be able to see it.

FRankly, deep in my heart, i really wish to have a boy for this time. With a 女 then a 子, it has formed the chinese word 好 representing GOOD.. And it will also balance off the "yin" in the family. Too many girls.. hahaha..  Keep finger crossed, let's wait for the next appt hopefully by then we will get a more confirmed answer.

1st few Red spots on Baobei's body - Chicken Pox

Recently there is a Chicken Pox Outbreak in Baobei's class. 1-after-another, the children got infected... Just a few more days will be BB's 4th Birthday, we were hoping very much that she will not be one of the "lucky" ones...

During the morning shower, we found 2 red spots on her body.. TO play safe, we brought her to our family doctor, and then Dr Ivan confirmed the spots are really chicken pox.

The 1st 3 days were really bad, BB strike with stubborn hi-fever to as high as 40D.C. No matter how we sponge, with medic, the temp is still range between 38.5 to 40. And of course, during this period, more & more poxes appeared all over her body, face, head, even tongue with more than hundreds of the blister-like.

From Day 4 to Day 7, that's when the blisters starts to dry up, the itchy stage kicks in.. Constantly remind BB not to scratch off the skin else it will leave on with ugly scars...

Week 2, dry skin starts to peel, and scars are healing...

What is Chickenpox?

Chickenpox is a common illness among kids, particularly those under age 12. An itchy rash of spots that look like blisters can appear all over the body and may be accompanied by flu-like symptoms. Symptoms usually go away without treatment, but because the infection is very contagious, an infected child should stay home and rest until the symptoms are gone.

Symptoms

Chickenpox causes a red, itchy rash on the skin that usually appears first on the abdomen or back and face, and then spreads to almost everywhere else on the body, including the scalp, mouth, nose, ears, and genitals.

The rash begins as multiple small, red bumps that look like pimples or insect bites. They develop into thin-walled blisters filled with clear fluid, which becomes cloudy. The blister wall breaks, leaving open sores, which finally crust over to become dry, brown scabs.

Chickenpox blisters are usually less than a quarter of an inch wide, have a reddish base, and appear in bouts over 2 to 4 days. The rash may be more extensive or severe in kids who have skin disorders such as eczema.
