Words parents never like saying. Words I never like saying; but its true, Ozzy has fever. Yesterday evening his temperature was 38 C, earlier it was 39, just now I took his temperature again while he is sleeping it read 39.4C. Ghad, I want to cry. Tomorrow if his temperature remains in the high 38C we would have to take him to the doctor. Shudder.
I hate hospitals. I hate having to bring my son there, but of course it would be for his own good. We had fun at the resort, personally I know we did not overdo it. We were not in the sun for a long time; I don’t know really what’s wrong yet. But I am worried.

***Just got back from the beach! Ozzy had a blast in the pool BUT he was still afraid of the beach particularly the sand in the beach. He had fun looking at the boats though. Right now he is fast asleep in our room. I realized without proper exterior shutters or blinds our room is super bright in the afternoon. Poor boy, no wonder he has trouble sleeping in the afternoons. Will have to get one for our little boy.
Pictures and Story to follow. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Last Saturday, while taking our evening bath, Joshua fell on the rock hard cement floor. It was completely MY fault & I feel so bad about it. I wasn’t able to watch him because I was rinsing my hair. He was just by my side then suddenly he was already falling.
What happened was he tried to get into the pail of water and lost his balance.
There was crying but something else made me freak out. I saw blood coming out from the back of his head.
Every parent’s nightmare. Seeing their child hurt & maybe in danger.
So after freaking out, putting cold compress on his bump, consulting the baby book, and bandaging his wound, Josh & I assessed that the boy is fine. His bump was not blue & black, it was just cut and there was loads (according to me) of blood because there are lots of veins in the scalp.
The boy was fine after a bit of crying, he was not vomiting, his eyelids were not dilated (we checked), and he was perfectly himself.
The whole night, I was monitoring him, I felt so guilty. I felt stupid. I felt reckless. I felt inadequate. Why the heck did God trust me with a baby, I’m so careless. I’m not at all perfect but I try my hardest for Joshua. Oh well, lesson learned. I should have known better, I should keep an eye on him 24/7.
I just can’t help thanking God that nothing serious happened to him.
If I had video footage for every little funny, witty, amazing, sweet thing my son Ozzy has done & said since then I’m sure it would make a full length movie by now.
It still amazes me that this sweet, innocent angel can say stuff like this & this.
A few updates on his ever expanding vocabulary:
- /ow-ter/ - Water.
- /ay-miss/ - Hi, Miss. {chickboy in the making. TskTsk}
- /ah-tee/ - Aunty Jennie {my sister who used bribery & food to teach the boy her name and that’s the best he can come up with}
- /gee-af/ - Giraffe
- /ari/ - Marie {next door yaya}
- /at/ - Cat {i just heard him say this ONCE. All the other time its “meow”}
- /Owa/ - Joshua {himself}
- Sometimes we catch him pointing with his mouth {gosh, so Pinoy!} I didn’t teach him that I think he got it from the help.
- When counting, Wa-too-tee-too-tee-too-tee-en! (1,2,3,2,3,2,3-10!)
A funny conversation that we had 3 nights ago.
Me: Baby, who do you love??
Ozzy: Mommy, Daddy.
Me: Who does Mommy love?
Ozzy: Daddy.
Me: Who does Daddy love?
Ozzy : YAYA!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! His dad laughed so hard when he heard it.
Woah.
Super tired. We were at the mall whole afternoon and luckily for us little Ozzy was well behaved the whole time. I finally found the gorgeous royal blue dress that I have been wanting ever since I saw Cameron wearing one in the movie ‘What happens in Vegas’.
We had a few errands to run like the groceries (mom is still not here, she’s in Madrid), we had to buy light bulbs, dog supplies, medicines and Josh had to have his passport picture taken.
Later, it’s pizza night with my fabulous friends. I hope the rain would stop. I hate the rain. Pictures later! Happy Sunday guys!
I have mentioned before that I may become a single mom for a year right? Well, last week hubby signed the contract already. This week he has already passed his resignation letter. So, it’s pretty final already. We are hoping that his VISA application would go smoothly so he can leave as early as June 5th.
So were both pretty busy lately because am helping him out with his requirements, good wife that I am.
Also, I can’t help notice our power keeps on going out for an hour or so last week. Was it because of the weather? Anyway, I am just glad were into the business of selling generators because I cannot live without electricity & internet even for an hour. Can you?
