Sick bela

Bela was sick last week. She has high grade fever since Tuesday but then it was on-off and her temperature is ranging from 36-39 the next day. We brought her to her pediatrician on Thursday since it has been days already and she still has on-off fever even after taking her medicines.

Her fever spike to 40 C Thursday evening and we panicked and we decided to bring her to the emergency room. They conducted urinalysis and blood test (CBC) for her so they can find out what’s causing the fever. We got the results the next day and her pediatrician prescribed an antibiotic as Bela have infection as seen on her blood exam.

Good thing we can easily order for medical supplies online from JazzMedical. What we like about them is that they have very low prices for all their medical equipments and medical supplies. They even have 24/7 customer service and they even accept Paypal as their mode of payment for a more secure shopping.

Thank goodness Bela is doing okay now. She has no fever since Sunday so looks like the antibiotics is working. She really loose weight but at least her appetite is back now and she is back to being the active and talkative kid that we know. I hope and pray that nothing like this will ever happen to our dear princess again.

My Ate Bela

I was checking out our online photo album in Flickr and I saw this picture of me with Bela (gosh I really gained a lot of weight already that I will surely need diet pills that really work after I give birth). It just makes me feel sentimental because I can really see how fast time flies and how my baby Bela is growing up so fast.

Soon she will become an ate and as early as now, she is already making plans for her baby brother. She said that she will buy her baby brother a baby rattle. Every time we are at the mall, she will get baby toys and will ask me to buy it for her baby brother. When I did some online shopping, she helped me choose the clothes that I will be buying for her baby brother. Every night she will read stories to her baby brother. She loves to read the book “Oh Baby, oh Baby” by Dr. Seuss as it is one of her favorites too.

I am really hoping that she will not have a hard time adjusting to the new setup when her baby brother arrives. I have been asking for tips from my friends on how they prepared their first born for the coming of the second baby. But Bela is one sweet little girl and I am sure she will be the sweetest and the best ate to her baby brother.

Her Pink Vacation Bag

Bela: “Mom, can I have my own vacation bag so I can pack my own things if we are going on vacation?”
Mom: “Ok, we will buy one.”

I have long wanted to buy her a Trunki as I find this luggage so cute but Howell keep on saying no as hubby thinks that Bela still can’t pull the luggage on her own and Howell thinks that it is not safe for Bela if Bela wants to ride on it. But then Howell gave in when she saw how Bela loves the Trunki too when we checked it out at Baby Couture store in Megamall.

Bela: “I will pack my own things in my vacation bag then I will pull it by myself. But if is heavy, then I will ride it and daddy will pull my vacation bag.”

This is how she describes her Trunki. Bela was able to use it twice already and true to her word, she packed her things all by herself and she loves pulling it or riding on it. I am not sure though if we will be bringing this luggage if we go out of the country as Howell thinks that it is an additional bag for him to carry. LOL. But so far, Bela is enjoying her pink vacation bag.

Future Career?

Meet my fashionista Bela:

She just loves the camera and will even ask her dad to take a picture of her as she does her different pose. She would even ask her dad to show her the pictures after taking it to see if she looks good or not. We sometimes even catch her posing and looking at her reflection in front of the mirror. That is how vain she is. LOL.

That is why I can already imagine her having a career either in fashion or beauty. I checked out the website of Regency Beauty Institute, one of the fastest growing Cosmetology school in Colorado, and I am confident that they will be able to give Bela the best training if ever Bela decides to choose this career path. They have good facilities and their campuses are like the upscale salons so their students are guaranteed only the best training. They even have good connections so they can help their students find jobs after graduating from their school.

But whatever career Bela decides to choose, we as parents will always be here to support her all the way.

She is really an Ate Already

I was looking through Bela’s online album in Flickr and I can’t help but feel sentimental because I really realized that time really flies fast. One of my favorite pictures was when Bela was dressed as a doctor during their Career Opportunities Week in her school. I remembered when we asked her what community helper she wanted to be, she immediately said that she wanted to be a doctor.

This coming June, she will be an incoming Kinder student already and before we know it, she will already start on healthcare job search after she graduates from med school.

Before, my only problem was what best brand of diaper should I use, and then it became a dilemma on which school to send Bela for preschool, and now we can’t decide if it is time for Bela to go to big school or not. So what is next? We will start to get worried of her love life. (Oh, no. I think Howell and I is still not ready for that. LOL).

I know we can’t stop our children from growing old and that is really a fact of life and there is nothing that we as parents can do, but to accept that fact. For now, we will just enjoy Bela’s (and soon, our baby boy’s) growing up years.
