Sick Bunnies

I have two sick little girls in the house. Poor bunnies. Sophia started off having a snotty nose over the weekend and woke up around 5am on Tuesday with a temperature. Yesterday, Aiesha developed a temperature and is very poorly indeed. Poor darling slept most of yesterday, had hardly anything to eat and to top it all off she threw up in the evening. Thankfully Daddy was home yesterday to help out as both girls are quite clingy at the moment and need lots of extra cuddles.

Sophia still has a temperature but is still pottering around the house playing with her toys. Aiesha on the other hand is very weak. She managed a bit of cereal for breakfast but nothing else. She did ask for an apple but did not even take a bit out of it. My poor little bunny. Times like this reminds me that she's only 2 (well 3 very soon). Still so wee. Really hate it when my girls are unwell.

Get well soon my little darlings. Mummy loves you so.

Jet Lag.

We're back in Malaysia! Yay! But my girls are still quite jet lagged especially Sophia. Poor thing is still on UK time so her sleep is a bit all over the place at the moment. Aiesha never had jet lag this bad.

Was anticipating cramped sleeping conditions when we got here as the last time Sophia slept in her cot was last December (a bout of throwing up between the girls for a week got them into our beds permanently) but miraculously she has slept in her KL cot with not much fuss. As for Aiesha, she sleeps with her Ne. Although Ne would love to have them both with her but Sophia has been a bit clingy since we got here. I suppose she's still adjusting to everything here. Back in the UK it's only the 4 of us at home but at my mum's there are 11 so must be a bit too much for Sophia. She now does this cutest little pout if she's annoyed or uncomfortable with anything. She'll get used to the family soon enough I suppose. But I really hope her internal clock adjusts soon. Poor thing gets so cranky and doesn't get why mummy is waking her up rather than allowing her to sleep.

The Day of 'The Procedure'

Had the procedure on Sunday. We were told to ring the hospital at 6:30am for instructions on whether we could go on in at 7:30am. As we had to be there so early my mum-in-law stayed with us the night before so that she could watch our girls. On the way, I gave my cousin a wake up call. Initially she was to be at ours by 7am but as MIL decided to stay my cousin and her family didn't have to rush over to ours like zombies.

I was under general anaesthetic for the procedure so didn't really feel anything. If not for the pad left between my legs it didn't feel like anything was done as there was no discomfort whatsoever after the procedure. I seriously have a high pain threshold. I was warned of the cramping and nausea I would feel after it was done but I felt just fine. It was all over rather quickly but we were at the hospital for ages just waiting for a doctor to discharge me. We eventually got fed up of waiting and we went in search of one with my bum hanging out of the hospital gown.....not a pretty sight. Didn't have my dressing gown with me as I was told it was an in out thing which didn't require an overnight stay.

Finally got home at 4pm ish to be greeted by my lovely girls. Aiesha was playing with my cousin's daughter and Sophia was attached to MIL's hips. My super efficient and great cook of a cousin whipped up lunch from whatever was available in my kitchen although initially she didn't notice I had an extra freezer and was going to send her husband out in search of chicken. She whipped up ayam masak kicap for the kids, prawns sweet sour for the grown ups with sides of telur dadar and sayur goreng. As I was technically sort of like supposed to be under confinement she made me HUGE pot of bubur ikan complete with shredded fresh ginger, coriander and spring onions garnish. It was all yum!

Before the procedure I was a bit of a wreck but I am coping so much better now. We are blessed with our 2 girls and InsyaAllah we will be blessed again.

Dengue outbreak at 16on6!

Mum was to arrive tomorrow but has just discovered she has dengue. Her Doctor has told her she's not allowed to travel. She's not the first dengue case in the house as Aunty Gayah had it a couple of weeks ago. Watch out DBKL! Mum is not happy and once she a bit better I'm certain DBKL will get an earful from her. They got it when Aunty Gayah got it and now mum's suffering. Get well soon mum!

Sadness

I'm mostly coping quite well but there's a sadness within. A sadness so overwhelming I never thought I could ever feel like this. Even with all the sadness I am happy. I have two gorgeous girls and they bring me such joy. Their smiles, hugs and kisses helps lift the sadness. I'm so blessed.

My 4th Beanie

The sac was empty. My beanie is no more. May Allah give me strength.
