Kate at 2008

Apologies for the lack of update on our baby blog. I've been: (choose an excuse for me)

a) lazy
b) busy with work
c) busy with facebook
d) busy with electronic distractions (PC, PSP, NDS, TV, DVDs and other acronym-named gadgets)
e) tired from the few events that happened while this blog has been in stasis
f) sick

Obviously i now have more pics to put here.

Kate's been hospitalised again for UTI infection last Dec, though this time they got it right. That was tiring. Any parent can relate with the stress and anxiety you'd have to go through in going to the hospital. I'm just glad Kate's didn't have to stay that long. After more than ten attempts by doctors to find a vein in ALL her limbs, trying to insert a needle for an intravenous drip, I asked the docs to reconsider making another attempt. They administered the first set of antibiotics by injections on her thighs. Fast forward four days, Kate got discharged but will need to finish a month's worth of antibiotics. Thankfully it's oral antibiotics. We still have a week and a half to go to finish.

Kate's first Christmas eve was uneventful since she slept during the night, only opening her gifts (or us opening it for her) during Christmas Day. We spent the afternoon at her Ninong Mike's place where we filled ourselves silly with mocha flavoured custards, while Kate was playing with their big Christmas tree. She also got her Baby Big Bird present which she instantly nibbled the moment it was out of the box.

Now she's still having bouts of diarrhea, which we're still not sure if its caused by the meds or a fish porridge she had few days before Christmas. Two doctor visits have already told us its nothing to be worried about, as long as she's eating and hydrating well. But just the same, we were given some Ridwind drops and Smecta powder to aid her tummy.
