11.5Kgs and counting

My beloved traveled from yesterday and with school round the corner we had no choice but for me to take baby gal yesterday for her review at the cardiologist. Well somehow Samara doesn't like the weigh scale no more and when she finally got her weight checked it showed something like 12Kgs. Our doctor was so excited to see her and how she has put on weight. He said all is well and we need to look out for now at her age is home accidents like burns, drinking what she is not meant to as at this stage they are very curious and also pulling things from above...otherwise he was happy and didnt even give us another review date  and said she can go to school. That was good news for us.

So today Friday, baby gal had a jab and my beloved we missed him much as you all know by now he is the one who holds her down for such.But amazingly when we entered the nursing room, the nurse whom we have met severally at the baby wellness clinic was so amazed at baby gal's growth. In fact we stayed for about 5-8minutes just her talking at how Samara has grown tall and healthy.  When baby gal was half halfheartedly convinced to step on the weighing scale she was at 11.5kgs and again the nurse was shocked. She knew we had heart surgery and was just jazzed at how she has sprouted from 9Kgs to 11.5/12Kgs.I shared with her our joy and how thankful we are to God for the changes we seeing in our daughter.

Well time for vitamin A came , baby gal was not coopreating but that one is oral and the jab on the hand was done and it wasnt so bad,little tears and we were done. I missed my beloved because he needed to be here just to see the progress but I updated him and we are thankful that for once going to the wellness clinic wasn't as dreadful as always. The nurses just out of their genuine concern would point out that the weight gain wasnt good and we needed her checked and we ould then tell them we have an ASD and will have it fixed. Then they would give us a breather until the next appointment. But today it was different and good.

Have a great weekend

Unconditional love

As I went home last yesterday, I heard the song 'In harms way'  by BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars. When listening to music, I want to know the lyrics,what the song is communicating and how it applies in my life. This song reminds me of God's unconditional love, even when I do not deserve it, even when I have given up , even when he knows all He knows about me, he doesn't let go of me. That is just amazing. Undying love you've given to me Seen in me things I would never have seen I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery Time and time again I ask myself What have I done to deserve such wealth The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity Chorus: In wanting to save me In order to save the day Because of love you placed yourself In harm's way It's truly beyond me Left without a word to say What kind of love would place itself In harm's way? What kind of love would place itself In harm...

Weight-Part 2

Once the baby is breastfeeding and starts to wean, the eyes shift from the mother to the child. Common comments ‘ what are you feeding your baby on? They are growing so well. During baby clinics, pressure mounts because your child's weight gain doesn't seem to match that of another or a friend's child. Next time you take the baby for vaccination open your ears and eyes. It’s like people are sizing each other up, or trying to boost their image especially if their baby “seems” to be ahead of others. I know this is a sensitive topic but all am saying is, yes the mother/parents have worked pretty hard to ensure that their baby is growing well and that is ok and we appreciate the good job done, but hey do we stop to think about that other woman/family who is feeling like a failure because as per the society as long as your baby is not growing as well as we expect, the mother( most times) isn't doing a good job? Do we ask ourselves why isn't that child not growing as...

Looking back at where I am today and where the 8-4-4 system had placed me, I thank God that He has a purpose and plan for all of us. At times I wonder whether I will be able to tell my kids that I was never in the top 10 position in class. Most of our parents have told us how they were position 1 in their class and I always wonder who was last? Think about it. I envy today’s young generation. Having being raised in Kericho and Nakuru in my younger days, I didn’t know English too well and at 6 years I was speaking broken English. My first birthday was so memorable and exciting in that I could not say birthday and would welcome my friends and visitors by saying ‘welcome to my passday’. Oh well ,thank God that we catch up quick and I went to Milimani Primary and later Nairobi Primary and my report forms would read “ Sylvia is very playful and can do better if she settled down" or "slight imporvement but can do better". Class 8 came and I scored 432/700, and that was ok...
