First, Sherilyn woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was super cranky and clingy to me. She refused the maid to wash her up, brush her teeth or touch her. She kept wanting me and kept saying “mummy, say you love me” as she cried pitifully. I was already very busy trying to fix the gals breakfast, eat my own breakfast and trying to pacify Baby C who is also super cranky and wants to be carried the whole day. I was rushing to get ready to bring Baby C to the hospital to get the 2nd antibiotics jab administered on her. At the same time, I was given 2 opps by these 2 advertisers with a deadline of submission at 1pm and I knew I would not have time to meet the deadline with 2 cranky kids and have to spend a few hours in the hospital.
At the hospital, the Medical Officers at the A&E department were reluctant to administer the jab on Baby C as it was an IM (intra muscular) jab. Why? Coz no. 1, it’s a ‘huge’ jab (1.5ml of liquid antibiotics and another few ml of local anesthetic) and no. 2, it’s supposed to be VERY painful because it is IM and it is HUGE. So I walked to my regular paed’s clinic. When he saw the box of jab, he said “IM ar? Aiyoh, it’s going to be very painful! Normally I would admit the patient and have the jab adminstered via IV line. I won’t give this type of jab to a baby” Then he shook his head. When I heard this, my heart was already half broken coz I knew my darling Baby C has to go through another traumatic and painful time. I placed Baby C on my lap and held her tightly, my heart beating rapidly, I was nervous and I was praying fervently to God to please help Baby C and reduce her pain. I saw the needle jabbed into her thigh and my poor baby jolted her body and wailed…. followed by a painful pause and I hugged her tightly and kissed her. She was crying and yelling out in pain. I wanted to cry too. I felt so weak and my heart was really painful and I wished that my baby’s pain could be transferred to me. My poor baby has to go through another round of traumatic time tomorrow to have the last jab administered on her. I just wish that it would be less painful for her tomorrow. I just can’t bear to hear my baby wail out in pain.
Back home, my 2 gals were fighting over a silly toy that none of them wanted and has been chucked at one corner for the past year or so. Sher clung on to the toy and Alycia begged me to get it back. Aly and Sher were hitting each other and crying. I was trying to pacify Baby C who has been so traumatized and she wanted to nurse and sleep. I was also trying to finish off the opp that was going to expire any time. I was feeling really dizzy from all the stress and couldn’t think straight. I put on a VCD for the gals to watch but they were still fighting. Long story cut short, I managed to submit the opp in the nick of time and I managed to put Baby C to sleep. My 2 gals? I gave them some mooncakes (those shaped like piglets, placed in a little colorful piggy net) to placate them and made them some toasts.
It has been a real stressful day for me. I just hope that tomorrow will be a better day for me and the gals, especially Baby C. Now, I just want to lie down, take deep breaths and get rid of my dizziness!
