Sevan couldn't go because he got sick...
3 important lessons learned:1. He is the boss: Well, I knew that already but he keeps on teaching this to me over and over again...
2. Don't underestimate the power of vitamins before the rentrée of the crèche: Breast milk creates wonders but boost the vitamins nonetheless.
3. Sickness is a chain reaction: first baby gets sick, then mom gets sick and then dad gets sick...Great!
It was the first time he got sick: nothing major, sneezing, coughing runny nose, a little bit of fever but a lot, a lot of crankiness, which was really tiring. We got acquainted to accessories such as nasal aspirator, that basically serves to suck your babie's snot right into your mouth (oh glamour!).
But at the end, I am very proud to report that we were really cool about it. Of course, we called the hospital just to check but we survived with no medications and no emergency doctor visits! I read that this is supposed to happen 5-6 times a year *sigh* but these sicknesses help boost the immune system of the baby.

| my sick bébé :( |
As on my meetings, my first meeting was an important one, so I didn't cancel that one -yes I'm that heartless mother who left her sick child behind, and let me tell you it felt like victory!
After 4 hours, I came back feeling very achieved, he didn't look traumatized, he played with me a little and fell asleep..It was all good.
Pobrecito! He looks so sad and tired. :(
ReplyDeletePS: I registered for one of those snot suckers and my fellow working mamas made SO MUCH FUN of me.
I know...He was like a little broken flower all of a sudden...So sad to see :( but he feels much better now.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they make fun of you? :) It's a very useful item...Plus, mothering is snot sucking...at every level, in every possible way ;)
I remember with Isa feeling that at every corner - she has the control, I don't have the control. It took some great therapy to realize, I probably never had it, but at least I had a semblance of it ;). Isa had what we called "fever fridays" the first month of daycare. It was usually very mild, and only 1 day, with minimal crankiness, but it was hard. And then... she almost never gets sick. Maybe twice in her life after? She still brings bugs home (ie: she sneezes once, then jason and I are sick for a week, but she never gets anything else). So her immune system>> ours, ha! We still like to call her our little vector of disease ;).
ReplyDeleteWoww!Go Isa!!
DeleteThat's really really good to know and gives me hope. Maybe all this tiredness will pay off at the end. I hope Sevan will be another vector of disease :)
But already, he recovered but poor Claude is still in bed :)
