Playing DS

I've been introducing Nintendo DS to Carissa for the past few days, since she LOVES puppies.. I let her play the nintendogs. She actually loves it, she tap the screen with the stylus and keep on saying "puppm" (translation: puppy). I let her bathe the puppy and watch them play ball.

Here are the pictures that I took from this afternoon.. :D

Updates

Well.. let's see..

Carissa woke up this morning at 6:30 am, crying... so I went and got her. She signed that she wants milk. I thought her tummy already ready for milk since she was doing fine yesterday. I gave her half bottle.. and she threw up in an instant. Then she cried some more :(.

I think she just really hungry, she saw bananas, and she signed she wants bananas. I gave her 1 and she actually finished the whole banana without throwing up. Then she watched Pooh for lil bit and I gave her some pedialyte.

Around 8am, I put her down for nap and she down till 10. She woke up and I made her some rice soup (my dad usually made us this dish when we had upset stomach). She ate them pretty good. Still only clear liquid for the rest of the day.

But I was kind of worry since she hasn't poop all day. I remembered when I was young my mom usually garnished some shallots (red garlics) and mixed it with telon oil and rubbed it on our chest, belly and back to circulate the blood and keep them warm. So I asked Carson to get me some from hy-vee and I made my herbal remedies..

I rubbed it on her and then around 12 I put her back to bed, she actually slept till 2:15-ish and woke up so happy.. I checked her diaper, and she did it.. and no diarreha!! so happy!!!

Stuff like these.. I bet Carson or maybe all of you (non-indonesian) will think I'm such a weird mom who still believe in old fashioned remedy.. but it works like a charm :D

I just want my baby to be back healthy.. and all smiley again.. and she actually getting there... she's been eating and drinking good...

PS: now.... Carson's turn *sigh* yes.... he is sick... :(

stomach flu bug in the Andorfs household

Started with Carissa's grandpa got one and then grandma got one, then few days later mommy got it for 24 hrs only (thank God!) it was miserable. I woke up at 4am and started throwing up till about 10 am. I even fell asleep on the bathroom floor since there's no point sleeping in the bedroom. Then got some diarrhea some more... woohoo..

Anyway I got mine done and over with, but suddenly Carissa got it.. poor girl.. she's been throwing up since 2am said Carson since he was sleeping with her. I was trying to get more rest so I took nyquil and slept in different room.

She's feeling much better now I think, she acts like she's healthy but she is so not... hopefully we can go home tomorrow.. healthy!!! hopefully... Carissa took 2 naps today so she rest pretty well.

OOooOO Wonderful Christmas... next year if any of us sick again... Christmas will be postponed for sure... no offense,... but this sickness is not fun :(

At least I'm so grateful that we have grandma & grandpa who can take care of us when we're sick! (including cleaning the vomited carpet, clothes, sheets) :) Thank you so much... we love you...
