This blog started as a blog for my daugther, Zara, whom we were blessed to have after 5years of trying and praying. We have then moved on to my own domain, after our 2nd girl, Zaria was born. Now this will be my space, for my views, my recipes, my take.

Mummies Can't Be Sick
A bad cough crept into my system on Friday, followed with over all body ache. Yesterday, when we sent of Tuyam to the airport, it got worse. I started having a bad headache.
What timing! Here I was sending off my domestic helper cum baby sitter for her 1 month vacation, and the fever, cough virus eagerly came for a visit.
Without a maid, we couldn't really care for Zara. I got weaker. I continued to nurse her (which I'm not sure if it was such a good idea under such condition), and tried to just watch over her while lying on the bed. Daddy, although is a good play mate, isn't such a great child carer. We sent an SOS to mum in law. She agreed to help out and would stay a night at our place.
For the rest of the weekends, I laid in bed all the time with a very bad fever, and was vomiting out anything that I ate.
Mum in law was the one caring for Zara for the 2 days, but Zara was fretting a lot. She preferred mummy. Anytime when she was changed in the room, Zara would reach for me. After a feed, she would want to stay for a while near me, leaning her head on my chest, lying next to me playing with my fingers or my pendant.
I dare not give her kisses, worry that I may pass the virus to her, but couldn't help giving her some cuddles and hugs.
You can't be sick being a mum, the baby needs you, and nobody can replace you. This is even more true if you are still nursing the baby.
I was glad, I got better at night. Still weak, but my headache and vomiting had stopped. I didn't know then that the week was going to be a long one.....
