Blogging from the Hospital

Hello Everyone,

How are you all? I hope all of you are having a good night/day.

I am just taking a little time to update. My connection is really slow now because I am just using my mobile phone as modem here in the hospital. Our Maxyn had fever last Wednesday that would go as high as 38.8 degrees Celsius. It did not go away until last Friday despite giving her paracetamol so we brought her to our pediatrician. Upon check up, she recommended to have our baby admitted for easier monitoring. Lab tests were done and the diagnosis is urinary track infection. She is on IV and antibiotics now. And then just last night, rashes started showing in her face, neck, back and stomach. It is Roseola.

So pardon me if I have not visited your blogs or even updated this.

Please help us pray that the urine culture test result has some happy news and that we will be discharged soon.

Thanks, Everyone!

Thinking Aloud

I am on emo-mode today. I have been not feeling very ok this week and I am still looking for that something that will lift me up. Maxyn having fever since yesterday afternoon kind of adds salt to the injury.

I chatted with several friends this morning and I told them I wanted to hibernate. I feel like I need to know myself again. I am losing confidence and I do not know where I am good at. They corrected me and told me I know exactly what I want to do but I have to get the passion in it.

Now, what do I have to do to get that passion burning?

Sundae and chicken are some of my comfort foods but I still don’t feel comforted. Maybe another round of caramel sundae later.

It is extended! Thanks, Mommy Rubz! I drafted this post but did not publish it because I was late. Anyway, here is another chance so let me not delay things any further.

rebond by victor ortega I am Mommy Nicquee.

I am happily married to Daddy Mon for almost five years now. We are blessed with two lovely princesses, Ayex, 4yo and Maxyn, 9mo. During my pregnancy, all I read on was about breastfeeding because I really want to give the best milk out there for my kids. Gladly, I am blessed that I am able to breastfeed our girls despite working outside home. I breastfed Ayex until she was three and I am still nursing Maxyn now. Because of this blessing, it became my advocacy to help other moms who choose to breastfeed.

Apart from being a wife and mom, I am also a corporate slave. My primary role is to take care of tuning our internal search engine so that every customer query ends with a solution click. Sounds techie? Not really. But I do have a part of me who is very passionate about techie-things. No, I do not do programming. I just love tinkering around the Internet.

I have been blogging since 2004 but only learned to earn some from it recently. Blogging keeps me sane as I juggle my time being a mom, a wife, a corporate slave and a struggling super sister. Why a struggling super sister? Let me just say that I am still waiting for my siblings to mature more. And while they are in that journey, they need some guide who happens to be me. Blogging is also my way of keeping my social life alive even in a virtual place. My blogs are:
