30 weeks Update !!

On the verge of completing 7 months already... God !! How time flies by...

Things have gotten hectic both at home and at work. Hence the long break from blogging and posting about my coming little one. Haven't been able to do justice to blogging and neither have I been able to pay much attention to the new baby :(

Baby would probably feel real bad when it grows up. Anyhoo... here goes.

Currently at 31 weeks and writing this post.

Dearest babbatoo... you have been kicking a lot lately and its keeping me awake all night some of the days. You have become super duper active and spend a lot of time awake. Compared to your sister Chhavi, you are more active and kicking and moving almost all the time. I can sometimes feel your little feet / hands when I stroke / press on my belly. Also, sometimes you lift your bum and then its fun to play with you. If I press on your bum, you move around and lift it elsewhere on my stomach. However, Chhavi used to have a lot of hiccups, but you dont seem to have as many.

I am patiently waiting for the day when I can see shapes forming on my belly when you move around. Was the same with Chhavi, so am hoping it will happen with you too. Also Dear Dad and me have been trying to guess your gender. Not that we are particular about you being a girl or boy, but its fun to just try and speculate. We read about all the myths floating around on the internet. God, how stupid some of them seem :) Some of them are so obviously mythical, but whatever, its a fun pastime.

Oh BTW, last weekend, we had some blood reports done for thyroid, haemoglobin and sugar levels. Everything turned out to be normal. That was a huge relief, especially the iron levels. Never thought they would come to normal, since I have always been anaemic. Next appointment is going to be on the 21st. Also waiting for the next scan date to see you.

We are also looking at good days to welcome you into the world. Doctor has said that it will be on one of the mornings in the first week of July. So waiting to talk to him about the date for the operation. Lets see how things go. Next post in a few days... Ciao.

Conversations with Chhavi - 4

Sometimes when she wants to ask something she goes...
"Mamma, idu nindu purse ???  (Is this your purse) " with a long tone... stating that she wants to play with it. When I just respond with an 'Yes', she repeats the questions until I ask her... do you want it ? And she just nods her head happily !!

****************************************************************************************************************

If I am sniffling even a little bit, Chhavi goes - Mamma, nosey ? and when I say yes, she proceeds to clean my nose with a cloth / tissue !! LOL - what all kids learn by noticing the actions of adults.

****************************************************************************************************************

One day Chhavi stamped my bare feet with her shoe clad feet. It was really hurtful. I screamed a bit and told her sternly that she hurt me. She goes... "Mamma, abbu jalle ?? Gharkad vachunu cream lavya... blue blue cream lavya" (Mamma, did u get wounded, we'll go home and apply some cream... blue blue cream...) Aww... I just melted then and there. How can you ever stay angry at these tiny tots !! ?

12 week NT scan

Dear Buttercup (yes, thats the name I have given you after much thought)

Today was your 12th week scan... Today was the first time we actually saw you.

With Chhavi, we had to have couple of scans before the NT scan, due to some precautions, but this time, there were no issues. So, this was the first one. You were also shy just like Chhavi - but lesser. But you were much more hyper - Chhavi was a quiet one. You were literally tossing and turning and jumping around and not letting the doc get a good view of you.

I cried again (as I always do at ultrasounds). But it was a happy teary time. Your heartbeat soothed me in many ways, because, until then I wasn't really sure of how everything was / is. I was really scared. I was constantly worried since we hadn't actually seen you. Doc said there is nothing to worry and baby and mommy are both hale and healthy. We both came home a happy couple.

Chhavi was there with us and she was interested for only a short time in the beginning as to what was happening around her, and then she lost interest. Cant blame her, since shes just 2 yrs old and she doesnt know what to actually look for. Anyways...

Ill put up your NT scan pics once I have them on my phone. Next scan is at 20 weeks or so I believe.

Conversations with Chhavi - 3

One day I was eating some Mangalorean sweet dish. Chhavi came and pulled it away from me in order to have it for herself, as she always does. She was happily munching away when I came with another dish (Puran Poli - Holige) and I fed a few pieces to her. Immediately, she switched both our plates and said... Mamma, neenu idu tinnu, naanu idu tintini. (Mamma, you eat this and ill eat this - pointing to our switched plates). All of us were dumb founded.

***********************************************************************************************

I bought Chhavi a box of color pencils the other day and she is obsessed with it. She finds a piece of paper each time and starts scribbling on it. When we take the pencil and hold it in reverse position, she goes - ulta, ulta... she holds it right and then says - heege baribeku (You should write like this). Doesn't miss even a single time.

***********************************************************************************************

When she doesnt want to do something, if we ask her to do it, she immediately says - Naanu maaDalla, naanu hogalla... or the same in Konkani, haava karna, haava vachana, haava khayna etc., meaning, I wont do, I wont go.. I wont eat..... I wont 'something else'.

She is very determined about it. Also, from the past few days - being at my parents' house has improved her konkani a lot. She has picked up quite a bit from my mom and dad and she fluently says different things, which I never taught her or cant remember having spoken to her about.

***********************************************************************************************

Onto new adventures in the new year 2016

My second biggest most awaited adventure has finally started. However, the start is really really slow and bad. I puke most of the nights and feel queasy the rest of the times. Yes, you guessed it right. I am expecting my second one in July.

It is said - history repeats itself. In my case, for my first one, we tried for a few months, before finally conceiving and the HPTs turned out negative. Had to get a Beta HCG done to get a positive. In the second case also, we tried for a few months, but timing always seemed off. Had to have my first symptoms of dizziness and nausea to go get my blood test done, which of-course came out negative. Gave up all hopes, but went back in a week's time again to re-confirm and lo and behold... the test was positive this time. So many false negatives to deal with.

Nov 20th 2015

Got the results of my 2nd blood test and turned out to be positive. Point to be noted - Nov 21st is our anniversary. Good news and what a great gift for the both of us.

The due date is July 14th 2016, but the doctor said that since its an elective c-sec, we can choose a date around 1 week before the expected date. We are thinking of July 9th, to match with the Jan 9th of my first one. Lets see if the baby will wait until then :)

Currently I am in my 12th week and the nausea has abated a bit, but the aversions are still there. Have not had any kind of cravings either in my first or my second pregnancies. I wonder why !! Am currently at my parents' and my mom is always asking me what to make for lunch n dinner n stuff, but I just cannot think of a single thing that I would crave to eat. What a waste of the time spent with mom right, if I cannot ask her to make my favourite dish ?

My first scan of 12 weeks is on Jan 8th, a few days from now and I am just waiting to hear a tiny and speedy heartbeat again. The first time I heard it was 2.5 yrs ago and it seems like a long long time now :)

I know dear baby, that I have not been giving you ample attention like I did for my first one. But first ones are first ones...They do hold a special place in life. However, we do love you the same way and no less. I am sorry I have been lazy not to have started writing about you, but I promise, ill try to jot down more stuff from now on. Thats my New Year's resolution for 2016.

Potty Training

Chhavi has never had night time / sleep time incidents ever since she was 5 months old. She does not wet her bed when she's asleep. But as soon as she wakes up, thats the first thing she does. So she has always had good night's sleep and she has given us the same too.

She has only woken up at nights only when she was hungry / sick. Otherwise she has been a very tight sleeper. Whenever she wakes up, I take her immediately to the bathroom and she goes quietly :) I prefer to put on a diaper though, since its not always possible for us to wake up as soon as she does.

As of now, we are trying to potty train her. Any ideas / suggestions will be greatly appreciated. No problems with her pees though. She mentions just when she's just about to go. But for pooping, its kinda late by the time we take her to the bathroom. Few days past, she has been pooping on the way to her play school and she gets extremely fussy and uncomfortable in the car, since we cannot clean it immediately and she cannot stay with the dirty diaper.

Today, I gave her a glass of warm milk when she woke up. Took her to the loo when she said she felt like pooping. She sat in the loo for a while and then she pooped alright :) Lets see how it goes from tomorrow.

Rhymes - 3

Chhavi knows a lot more rhymes than I thought she knew.

10 days back or so, she suddenly goes... Mamma, mamma, Aanki doodoo pony maadi...
It took me a while to even comprehend - I know she was referring to some rhyme... but I had to scourge thru my database to understand what she actually meant... Then it suddenly hit me...

It was Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on a pony... what next ? I myself dunno the 3rd line of the rhymes... but Chhavi says it. Since I dont know the line, I cant understand what she's saying...

The last line is - and called it macaroni... I still dunno the third line.... need to look it up.

*********************************************************************************

Few days back, Chhavi started saying 'days of the week'.

She says - Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday - announcing the end of it. LOL. No matter how many times we teach her the rest of them, she doesnt remember those ones... so cute.

*********************************************************************************

My co-sister tried to teach her 'months of the year' and she was teaching them one by one and Chhavi was repeating them. When she reached April, instead of repeating April, Chhavi says 'May'. So I am guessing they are teaching her the months also at school.

*********************************************************************************

Conversations with Chhavi - 2

The other day Chhavi was being very mischievous in the car.

So I tell her... Chhavi - policeman appaitha (ill call the policeman). Vatta ve tu policeman vottu ? (Will you go with him ?)

Chhavi: O K
Me (shouting): Ok, policeman, come here ...
Chhavi (suddenly not wanting to go with him): Mamma, kitki kaadi (open the window). Haav policeman-ge hogu heLtini (Ill tell the policeman to go away)

Complete conversation - half in kannada and half in konkani...

*********************************************************************************

Rhymes - 2

Chhavi is 1 yr and 10 months now and can sing about 15 - 20 rhymes now.. maybe more. Some of the rhymes she says:

A B C D E F G
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Old McDonald Had A Farm
The Wheels On The Bus
Humpty Dumpty
I Hear Thunder
Hickory Dickory Dock
Bits Of Paper
One Two Buckle My Shoe
Johny Johny Yes Papa
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Daddy Finger Daddy Finger
Goosy Goosy Gander
Mary Had A Little Lamb
Hot Cross Buns
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Ding Dong Bell
Ring Around The Rosies
Rain Rain Go Away
.... and a few more - cant think of them immediately.

She loves watching rhymes on the phone. I try to restrict it as much as possible and when I take the phone from her after her session... she starts crying and screaming loudly.

With a crying voice itself, she goes on reciting her fav rhyme of the moment -
Johny Johny,
Yes Papa,
Eating sugar,
No Papa,
Telling lies,
No Papa,
Open your mouth,
Ha Ha Ha.... beku / haaki (= want / put) and still crying her heart out....

I feel so sad and end up giving the phone to her for a few more minutes and the situation repeats again after about 5 mins.... In the end, its already 12 in the midnight, when I pull the phone from her with a cold stone heart and refuse to give it back to her and then she cries n cries until she finally falls asleep in like 2 mins flat. So technically, she was sleepy all this time, but did not want to because she was watching the video...

Conversations with Chhavi - 1

Chhavi: 'Chucchi' mamma... (meaning to say something is pricking her)
Me: Kasan chucchi deva ? (Whats pricking you dear?)
Chhavi: Mamma, nail cut maaDi (Mamma, cut your nails)

My daughter has grown so big as to advice me to cut my nails - sigh **

*********************************************************************************
The other day Chhavi is looking at her play school CD cover which has a few animal pictures on it.

Chhavi: What is this? (pointing to a penguin)
Me: Penguin, babba (=baby)
Chhavi: What is this? (pointing to a bird looking like a sparrow)
Me: Bird
Chhavi: What is this ? (pointing to the penguin again)
Me: Penguin
Chhavi: Nooooooo mamma, bird.......

LOL....

*********************************************************************************
Me: Chhavi yaarige beku ?? (Who wants Chhavi? in Kannada)
Chhavi: Pappage beku (Dad wants Chhavi in Kannada)
Me: Repeat the question.
Chhavi: Mammage beku (Mom wants Chhavi)
Me: Chhavi koNa jaayi ?? (Who wants Chhavi ? in Konkani)
Chhavi: Ajjaka jaayi (surprisingly) (She calls her maternal grandpa - ajja)

*********************************************************************************
The last few moments before we sleep at night daily.
Me: Goodnight babba, I love you.
Chhavi: Pappa, pappa, I love you pappa (to her dad)

She is totally n completely her daddy's girl. She forgets to tell me Goodnight / I love you... and I have to demand after which she reluctantly goes: Loooov u mamma with a pout in her lip....hahahahaha

Chhavi Talks 1

Is your little girl talking yet ? A very common question when people meet me after a long time.
My answer : Oh my - don't ask...

Yes, Chhavi has become super super talkative. And she manages to repeat any sentence thrown at her. She quips the same line back at us at an unnatural speed. Yes, be it any language. Not saying she knows to talk all languages, but just that she attempts to say the same thing - although not completely correct. All this when she's just 1 yr and 8 months old.

She also recites around 10 rhymes now. Again, not the complete thing, and she knows what to say when. She teases us, she hides stuff and pretends she doesnt know about them, she does something mischievous and watches our reactions from the corner of her eye etc., etc., All in all, she's a joy to be with and time well spent when I am with her.

Baby Carrier Wrap

Materials needed - a 6 ft long cloth by 3-4 ft width - folded lengthwise twice - so it makes 4 layers of clothing.

 

Fold the cloth lengthwise once - cloth now measures 6 ft by 1.5-2 ft width. Stitch along the sides or all over in stripes. Stitching is not mandatory.

 

Fold the cloth again lengthwise - cloth now measures 6 ft by .75 - 1 ft wide. DO NOT STITCH the cloth. Find the center of the length and hold it around your waist - the center part on your stomach - with the open fold above - hence forming a pouch. That is where you put your baby's butt.

 

Take the two lengths of the cloth and criss cross it on your back and bring the ends on your shoulders and towards the front - as shown in the pic. The open folds towards your neck inwards.

 

Pick your baby, Put his / her butt in the open fold at your waist. Cover his / her butt upto the knees in the pouch kind of thing formed at your waist. Put both the baby legs towards your sides until he / she is comfortably sitting in the pouch.

Hold the baby there with one hand and pull and tighten both ends of the fabric until he / she is snug in the pouch. Take one end of the cloth (say on your right side) and put it across baby's back and butt. Take the cloth under the baby's opposite leg (on your left side) and around your waist to the back. Hold the cloth there tightly. At this point, you can let go of baby and hold the cloth at your back with one hand.

With the other hand, take the other end of the cloth and do the same on the other side (left side of cloth across baby's back and butt and under right leg of baby towards your back). Pull it as snug as you want. In the process, you can leave baby's hands in or out as shown in pics.





Tie both ends at the back or if you have a lot of cloth left - cross them behind your back and bring them to the front and tie the ends on your stomach or on the sides - entirely left to you.

There - you are ready to explore the world with both hands :) Also, dont forget to do a safety check on the baby in this position. Listen for baby's breathing, and dont tie the wrap too tight to suffocate either you or the baby.

Dont worry, it might be tough the first few times, but you will get it soon.

Baby Carrier Issues

From the past couple of weeks, I have been trying to find a better option for a baby sling / baby carrier. The one that I had was store bought and served the purpose well up until few months back.

Chhavi turned 1 yr and the sling which was initially just enough for her, started becoming smaller and since Chhavi grew taller and heavier, it was proving to be quite difficult to carry her in that one. As it is, it was a strain on my shoulders and neck, and now it was even worse. It was a cross-belt on my back. So the cross-belt was pinching on my neck everytime, bcoz of Chhavi's weight.

I decided to do some alterations on the sling and when I went to Mangalore to my parents house, I got my mom to attach some cloth to the sides and remove the cross belt and make it into a H shaped belt in the back. It served well for a short while and when Chhavi got bigger, the side seams seem to be strained too much and the H belt again started moving upper. Also now since the sling was bigger, Chhavi was able to move more in the space and she started jumping - which distracted me from riding my bike.

From the past few days, I was researching online on how to tie a baby wrap and found a lot of options or ways to do it. I was actually surprised that I dint do it earlier. I always thought that using a home made wrap would be tedious and not very safe and what not... the usual thoughts that a mom gets regd the safety of her baby. However, I decided to try it out once to see how it would feel and how tough it would be.

I was super surprised with the results. It almost took none of my time (2 mins or so). Was very comfortable on my neck and shoulders, gave Chhavi ample amount of moving space - yet kept her confined. And best of all, it was super super easy to do. Also, the best part is that you can carry a newborn to even as big a baby as 3 yrs. The most important development from this is that baby can sit in an ergonomic position, not putting any strain on his / her pelvic joints (as opposed to how a baby is carried in a store bought sling). Essentially baby sits in a frog like position.

Instructions to come soon - in next post - with photos.
 

Milestones...

Chhavi gave a real kiss today to both me and DD, what with sound and all :)

Rhymes 1

Chhavi recognizes a few rhymes ...

Twinkle twinkle little star - she knows this one since she was a small baby. The first rhyme that she heard and danced to.

Clap your hands, clap your hands - she actually performs to this rhyme by clapping her hands and stamping her feet. She learnt most of this from her day care. Am I glad I send her there....

Johny johny yes papa - she nods to this one.

Chhavi's first words

First Konkani word - Jaai (jaayi) meaning 'I want'
First real English word - Shoe, shes crazy about footwear !!
First Kannada word - Baa, means 'come'

Few other words that she says:

Ta-ta (neutral) = 'bye bye'. She also used to say 'by by' for this, but stopped it.
Taata (kannada) = 'grandpa'. Her paternal grandfather goes ecstatic when she calls him.
Ji (kannada - ajji) = 'grandma'. Her granny is still sad that she doesnt call her :D
Te (kannada - atte) = 'dad's sister'. Her atte makes her say it again n again.
Anna (kannada) = elder bro. She loves them both to bits.
Pa = dad.  Supposed to be pappa
Mamama (konkani) = 'maternal grandma'. She says it only on the phone when talking to my parents.
Baw (English 'ball'). Technically this was her first English word, but she couldnt say the whole word... so lets go with shoe.
Bloon - meaning to say balloon.
Bot - bottle.

Her maternal grandpa is still waiting for his word - ajja to drop from her lips :) He asks her each time to say 'ja' atleast, but somehow she refuses, even though she knows to utter the phonetic 'ja'.

Nowadays, she talks a lot, but its all Chinese and Japanese to us, when she goes:
toi achi goti ba ta ta ata pa (not literally - but something to that effect).

Chhavi dances...

Chhavi loves to dance. She dances to almost any music.

Initially she used to dance by shaking her butt while crawling, front and back and side to side.
Her next improvement on that was to shake her torso while sitting.
She used to dance even when she stood for even a second. Even though she dint know to stand, dint have any balance, she still used to dance, and fall, stand up again and dance and fall again.

She dances to any tune or any music or any rhythm. Few things she dances to:

1. She picks the landline and presses the speaker button. She dances to the dial tone for 2 secs.
2. The phone then gives out an engage tone - a long beep - and she dances to that for 2 secs.
3. Our landline gives out an ambulance alarm if its kept out of the cradle for a long time. She absolutely waits and loves that tone. She dances vigorously to it !!!
4. On FM radio, there is a guy that goes 'Saare dudes and chicks, this is 3 ka disco mix'. She dances to that sentence every time that guy is on air and says that.
5. Any rhymes that we sing.

Basically, she dances to anything and everything since she loves to dance.

She turns one !!

A big day was looming ahead of us on account of Chhavi's first birthday.

DD had already booked a convention hall and everything the next day Chhavi was born, since he was so excited about having a girl baby. The booking was the easiest part of all. The rest of the arrangements were causing a hassle. The cake, decor, caterers, event managers blah blah. It just took all of our days to even arrange meetings with each of these guys. Wish there was someone having a we-do-it-all package.

The cake was the last thing to be ordered / decided upon. We had lots of fights regd the design and the ingredients - the look everything. Anyways, we finally decided on a Minnie Mouse theme, but failed to get a Minnie Mouse doll for the cake. So we went with a princess theme instead. The stage was set and everything was in blue (contrary to popular choice of pink for a girl). I wanted to go for a fondue cake but the family was against it. So we settled for a fresh cream one instead.

The invites went out to 700 people and we expected 800 at the least, but I think the turnout was somewhere around - infinity !!! Just kidding, i think it must have been 1000+.

There was a magic show organized mainly to keep the kids busy and the elders entertained. It was fun. There were snack counters, giving out chaats, popcorn, cotton candy. There was a chocolate fountain, which was encircled by only kids. I doubt the adults got any of it.

Then came the cake cutting. It all got over in a jiffy and someone started distributing cake and all of a sudden, we were greeting people on stage and there was a long line of people waiting to greet chhavi.
We were up on stage for what seemed like an eternity, when chhavi started getting cranky. We could not even move from our stations. Chhavi was only becoming crankier, but the line seemed endless. Each time, we turned and saw the line - the line was always 10 people long. I dunno how people magically got generated in the line. It was never stopping :( Finally, at 11 in the night, we had the luxury of a break - the people started going home and the line finally ended.

Ah !! Now we could rest in peace. Ahem - I mean rest our legs a bit. Chhavi was now super hungry. Her last food intake was 5 hrs away, when we had left from our house. Poor thing, its a wonder she was sane until now. I would go crazy if I was hungry. Shes a boon that way. She never screams even when shes hungry. In fact the only time she is angry / frustrated is when shes super sleepy or someone takes something away from her. Otherwise, shes the coolest kid around and shes always playing on her own.

There were a lot of fights on the D-day regd the giveaway presents for the kids - the return gifts.
Most of the near and dear ones did not get any return gifts. There were probably around 300+ children and you know how kids are.... some of them just came to the stage, bullied the guy distributing the gifts and took away 2-3 each. 'Survival of the fittest' ke heights !! The silent and cool and nice kids did not get a single gift for themselves. Its our mistake also, that we did not preserve a few of them to give away to close friends and family. Maybe we should think about it the next time we distribute gifts to someone.

Finally it was time for dinner. We were so tired and hungry, but I couldnt eat a single morsel of food because all I wanted to do was go home and rest my feet. They were hurting like hell. I just pushed something into my mouth and left the hall early, because of well, myself and chhavi. We just went home and dropped dead on the bed.

Food was apparently amazing, but like they say, its difficult to enjoy the meal when you pay for it. I mean to say that when you organize a function, its so tough to sit peacefully and enjoy a meal properly.

All's well that ends well. I know that Chhavi wont remember any of this, but I just hope she reads this post and is able to imagine, how much she means to her DD. All the joy in the world showed up on his face that day. One can only imagine how happy he was.

Going bald :?

Today was the d-day scheduled for Chhavi's hair removal - basically making her bald.

In the morning I preserved a couple of locks of her hair in a zip lock bag. We were supposed to travel to DH's village - a 2.5 hr drive. We got ready and took off to the temple where the ceremony was going to happen. Chhavi slept most of the way and I decided that she would cause no trouble during the hair removal - since she was full and had completed her sleep.

The minute she was touched by the guy removing the hair - she started screaming like crazy and did not stop until the whole thing was done. The second minute after he stopped - her crying died down abruptly. Finally she got tired - ate a banana and slept for a while after that and everything was fine. She had a bit of food - which she was cranky about. I kind of hit her when I lost my temper. She seemed fine after that, until we started on the return journey. Chhavi started getting super cranky and I just lost my temper. I hit her again.

The thing is that Chhavi becomes super restless and cranky when she's sleepy, but she fights the drowsiness. She hates it when I try to put her to bed. She gets more n more cranky and at that point of time, she refuses anything - food, petting, anything. If we try to even touch her, she wildly flails her arms and hits anything n everything in the radius. Thats what happened when I was trying to feed her in the afternoon and the same thing happened when I tried to feed her on the return journey.

The reason I generally avoid feeding her when she's sleepy is because I tend to lose my temper with her. Today was the worse. I tried everything possible to calm her down, but she wasn't ready to take it. She had already poked both my eyes, pulled my ear and slapped me thrice. I was also having a bad migraine. Finally I just lost it all and hit her hard on her hand. She screamed for a long time and then stopped crying and just went to sleep. I felt so bad afterwards that I cried. Even now, I cannot stop the tears when I think about it. 

I wish she had just gone to sleep when she was sleepy and not behaved this bad. I wish I could have just waited a few more minutes and maybe she would have slept of on her own. I just cannot imagine, how tired she must  have been and in what state of mind and body she was :( I feel so bad that I took out my frustration and tiredness on her when I cannot fathom that she might have also been in the same state !!

Sorry baby - sorry for all the frustrations and lost tempers and beatings that you received and will receive from me. I know myself and hence I am saying this now. I cannot promise you that I will never hit you, I know I will - many times in fact. But please believe me that I will do it out of complete frustration, which would be caused when I would not be able to make it work any other way. I will try my best each time to not lose my temper, not to get angry and the beatings will come only when its absolutely out of my hands. Sorry again. Please forgive me.

- So

Sick Times 2

You have been sick again from the past 10 days and I am unable to decide if I should go to the doctor again. You seem to be fine half the day and then suddenly your fever increases. It goes down when I administer some Dolo drops and you seem to be fine for the next day. And then without reason, your cold increases. I just hope you get well soon. I dont want to start you off on antibiotics again.
