My Gastro Baby

Baste is now 2 and a half and has grown into a smart, funny and very active little boy. But today we are in the hospital, admitted for viral gastroenteritis. What I thought was mild diarrhea that will just pass escalated to a trip to the pedia 2 days ago and now to the ER then confinement. 

The last time he was admitted was when he was 2 months old when we learned about his sensitivity to cow’s milk protein. Second night in admission as I am writing this paragraph. He was weak, he got thin. It’s a mother’s nightmare. I am always thankful for Charles for being critical and who filed half day to take Baste to the hospital. We can never be too complacent specially with Baste.

I guess my mind is really not in a good shape. I’ve had work errors, I’m neglecting my child ( not making activities like I used to), dumb scrolling and for what? I’ve gained A LOT of weight for the past 1.5 years. I yearn for rest. But I don’t even do much chores at home. We have Angie (our helper). We’ve had helper since day 1 (Ate Ruby, Ate Shane and Tita Alice - 4(?), 12 and 8mos). We’ve had mama since day 1 too (except for the times she’s in Australia or out of town with friends and some weekend she’s in QC). I thought I was ready for a baby when we wanted to have one. But I guess you can never prepare  for this. I lack preparation as a person and I hope I don’t do the same parenting him.

I’m sick as well today. I haven’t been sick this year. But my sinuses hurt, my head and my back. Baby boy wants me to carry him all around lately coz he’s sick. I missed carrying him like that but he’s so big now and I’m so physically inactive. I hope everything feels better.

House renovation is coming soon too. And I hope we get to go to boracay next week.
