mommy moments: green

his car careening in our bed
the very first toy car we bought for jared
jared has recently discovered the bliss that is playing with his toy cars. after months of laying around in his room, finally, he was eying them with a lot of interest before picking them up to play with them. play consist of running the car down the sides of his crib, on the floor or in bed (much like what’s shown on the first photo), using the pillows as a ramp before the car skid to the floor + my son erupting to peals of giggles. he definitely enjoys his cars + the art of picking them after every fall. i’m glad we bought him this green playskool car a few days before his first birthday, maybe we can buy him some more^^

diarrhea woes

an old jared pic in dappy

my son has been passing very soft, and sometimes watery, stool since saturday last. he would also do it twice or three times a day, much to my worries. apart from giving him uncomfortable feeling or stomach upset perhaps, i am worried his diaper area will get rashes + get irritated due to frequent washing + diaper changing too! 
at first, i thought it was due to his medicine (see he recently suffered from colds + had to take some medication, including an antihistamine since his pedia is suspecting his colds is due to allergies) so no cause to worry really + i am just being my normal mommy mode. but then several days passed with no improvement + the other day he went three times. now for someone who’s been eating a lot in a day, it would probably be normal + i can easily dismiss it, but my son rarely eats his solids but would consume 7 ounce of milk every 2 hours or so.
yesterday i sent a text to his pedia raising my concerns + she acquiesced to have my son stool examined just so we know what the real problem is. observing my son, i don’t think he is anyway near to being dehydrated, his bowel movements aren’t accompanied by fever or vomiting either so that also rules out viral or bacterial infections.
we will have his stool checked later, i only hope it turned out negative. i hope this is only due to jared’s habit of putting everything he sees in his mouth + nothing more. please pray for us, thanks.

happy women’s day!

don’t you just love being a woman? you will give birth and become a mother one day, you have the incredible strength to carry your 14-kilo baby around the whole day (a feat not even your husband can do), you can be soft + tough, loud + silent, formidable + gentle…we come in different sizes, we go by many different names, and try to be a whole lot of things all at the same time: a mother, a wife, a cook, a homekeeper, a teacher, a confidant, a professional – the consummate multitasker!
08th of march is the international women’s day celebration – a fitting + timely day to honor the women who made profound changes + influences in your life, or simply to rejoice + revel at your womanity!

fast facts on international women’s day:

  • (or iwd) was first observed in march 18, 1911 in germany
  • this is originally called international working women’s day
  • it is a major day of global celebration of women

There is in every true woman’s heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

                                                                        ~ WASHINGTON IRVING, The Sketch Book

happy international women’s day to my sisters and my friends, to all the mums i know + to every woman out there!stand tall + proud that you are a woman! i do!
