My nightmare came true. Fighter is sick.
(actually no la, it never even crossed my mind wtf I am overly optimistic that way.)
He started with a cough over the weekend. At first I didn’t think anything because he sometimes chokes on his own saliva wtf. But the cough persisted.
When he’s not coughing, he’s still uber cheerful though! What did we do to deserve this joy of a baby.
(Digression: I suddenly thought maybe it would have been apt if we named him a name that means joy since he’s so full of happiness. Googled ‘boys name meaning joy’ and got Abhayananda. Er how about no. Lolol.)
The next morning his cough was still there. And he started giving me these very pitiful looks accompanied by piteous whines while I packed his diaper bag to take him to the pediatrician.
Like this!
Gave him his sweater and socks to keep him warm.
But like I said, when he’s not coughing he forgets about it and cheers up as usual.
See his excited face hahaha he thought the nurse playing with him.
The doctor listened to his breathing and flipped him over so he could listen to his back also he giggle hahaha everything is a game to you huh Fighter!
Our doctor was damn amused hahaha.
Anyway it’s nothing serious. Thank Buddha. He had some mucus which was dripping into his throat causing it to tickle so the doctor gave me some decongestants and told me to watch out for a ‘fruity cough’, a sign that the cold is progressing to his chest.
We actually went back again today because I got worried this morning after hearing some wheeziness in his cough. Doctor said it’s still not too bad and gave us some anti inflammatory meds and Ventolin to prevent it from getting worse.
So that’s our first experience with Fighter falling sick! Cross fingers he gets better soon.
Not super sick la can still put him on tummy time #Asianmom
And he still can smile. Hehehe
Those eyes <3
However it doesn’t stop him from acting all manja and pitiful so we’ll give him more attention.
Mommy, the cough hurts my throat…
Will you give me a kiss and make it all better?
Mommy!! You’re not listening!!!
I hate that camera.
P/S: Imma try to remember and watermark the photos taken with my Sony Xperia Z1. Quality is awesome!

Hi Audrey, it’s a joy seeing all these beautiful pictures of Fighter.nJust want to share with you, to prevent babies from coughing so much especially at night, apply lots of vicks underneath their feet & put on socks. I swear by it! It works for both my children.nSpeedy recovery, Fighter!
I’ve heard of the Vicks too but my doctors office is warning against using it on kids below 2! http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/#!/content/1.845457
Keke when u said baby name with meaning of Joy it reminded me of the name “Isaac”. nit’s a joy watching his progress thru ur blog getting cuter & more handsome by the day 🙂
Please dear… I know this asian mentality, indians are also like this… but just because he is coughing a little, dont continuously give him all kind of medicine. Like not continuously, but whenever there is some small problem. think about it for yourself if this is the best way for him to grow up to be a healthy boy. best wishes for you two
the last picture is so precious! He’s totally werking the ‘puss in boots’ 😉
Awwww….:-( Feel better sweet baby!
Aww.. he’s so sweet! Not giving you a tough time although unwell ^^ Gonna grow up to be a cheerful n thoughtful guy. ;Dnnhttp://tenshichn.blogspot.com/
hahaha yea he is
actually th e past 3 days he was quite difficult hahaha
what are you talking about? I agree when it comes to antibiotics but what’s wrong with decongestants? also you’re assuming he’s just “coughing a little”, you don’t know how bad his cough was so you shouldn’t say that
oh Isaac is a nice name!
How fast babies grow! Comparing the pics of Fighter in the entry before, and you can see how much he has grown. =)nWas a reader since before you got married, and through all the things, seeing Fighter growing up healthy and strong really warms the heart. (^^ )nnBTW the Abhayananda part made me laughed out loud. That was hilarious!
aww… at least he likes to manja la.. haha.. bonding session. grow up d don’t even wanna stick to mommy…
