Room Seperation

Few nights ago, daddy "forcing" Samuel and Samson to sleep at their room and ended up my boys cried and shouted at their room at 12 midnight. I guess it's my fault too, coz I use to think that kids will not cling on you many years so I let my boys sleep with me in one bed as long as they like. Even sometimes, we sleep on a different bed but as long we are in the same room, my boys already satisfy. But that night, daddy said it's time they sleep without mummy ard. So, when I was busy breast feeding my 3rd boy, daddy ask the boys to sleep next door alone. I got no choice and let daddy do the bad guy roll..

It has been 3 nights liao, esp Samuel; he cried the most and still crying but lesser each night before he fall sleep. Samson looks tougher than the ko-ko (as long he is not alone, he is fine).

I know, my room gets congested already when all my boys grown up very soon... My heart feel so hard to let go (sounds like they are leaving me soon,horr ??) but that's the only way they will become more independent.

Shawn 9 months old.

Shawn is already nine months old liao on 07/07/07 (wow!! good number). He is growing healthily and cheerfully; loves his smile, his 4 little teeth and his excitement each day I reach at the door step.

His development quite differ from his brothers, Samuel never adventure his crawling hood, yet Samson follow exactly what the development guide show; from sitting, crawling right up to walking and running. Have tried to put Shawn on the floor and let him start doing the crawling trick but he refuse to do so. He just sit on the floor and turning right and left, eager to reach his toys with a distance from him; but still refuse to crawl. Saw a little girl born later than Shawn 10 days started to crawl and pull herself up which already I find it amazing. Well, guess different baby develop differently, maybe Shawn will be just like his elder brother Samuel, skip the crawling part and may go straight to pulling himself up and start walking. Who knows, he might amaze me very soon....

One more thing which Shawn did amazed me is that he can do his own rocking in his sarong cradle. Haha.. I have heard some baby did that but never thought that Shawn can do that too..

I am also in the mist of thinking shall I plan a birthday party for Shawn's 1st birthday. Mmm.. who should I invite?? Relatives? or Friends?? No idea yet. For Samuel and Samson, never do any big 1st birthday party for them before, so don't know should I do one for Shawn. Sounds not fair horr?? He might be my last baby, so wanna grap all the event or happening which I have missed for my elder boys. Hehe, Shawn gets all of it....

Shawn Having High Fever

Shawn having his fever started on Sunday evening. I gave him panadol in liquid form and that night he slept well but yesterday night he seems like getting worst as he can not sleeps well the whole night. He woke up a few times in the mid night and I tried offer him my breast to comfort him. He did sucks for a while but still continue to cry to show how uncomfortable he was.

This morning when Samuel called me during my office hour, I can hear my little Shawn crying none stop over the phone and so I decided to bring him to the paed. Took 2 hrs off from work and off back to home and pick Shawn to the paed. Well, Dr said he is having viral infection which my mum and my MIL is having the flu and cough also these few days. I guess Shawn is infected by them.

Come to think about it, how come a BF baby can not fight with the normal virus? His antibody is not strong enough to fight?? I am trying to wean him off for the past 1 month and only BF Shawn during night time (2 times only) and just started to replace one night feed with formula for the past few nights. Now my main concern is that will that be the cause his antibody become low?? I remember when his 1st teeth came out, he do not have any fever at all. Wonder why?? Is it also because only 7 months of breast feeding doesn't seems long enough to help him to build up the antibody?? or maybe it's just part of his growing journey no matter he is formula feed or breast feed..

After his visit to the paed and took the medicine, he seems to feel better and I hope he can have a good sleep tonight and of course for me as well.....

PS : Shawn also having a few spots of fungus at his bottom but Dr says it is small matter. The fungus might be due to some infection in his stomach and causes the stool carried with virus which his baby skin can not take it and form the fungus at the later stage. But anyway, Dr says no worries; a small can of cream will heal all the fungus.
