Totally Exhausted

2 weeks past by without me even noticing it... Come to think of it, I celebrated my own birthday exactly a week ago. Haiz... I've been zombie-fied since the day En fell sick and I'm totally exhausted due to the countless sleepless night after Xuan got the flu bug as well. The 2 grouchy munchkins never give us any chance to rest. Hence, my backache also started acting up as they demanded to be carried often.

Now that En has recovered, we are glad to be getting a little more rest than before. Though Xuan still requires 7 hourly feeding on her medication, she kind of resign herself to fate when she sees those colourful fluids in the syringes. I'm glad we longer live in the war zone and could happily declare code red cessation.

That being said, En seemed to be having some issues with her premolars emerging, hence a wee little crankier than usual. I hope it doesn't spell another wave of trouble. Praying for a more relaxed weekend ahead, especially when Ya-Ya (means caregiver in Tagalog. Or in this case, the name our twins would identify our FDW) goes for her monthly break this Sunday. (Oh, no...)

I emailed the munchkins birthday pix (which I updated in shutterfly e-photo albums) a couple of days ago to family and friends. Someone actually ask if baby no. 3 is in the master plan since the twins have now turned one. No. 3??? That's been the million dollar question which Di and I pondered for a long time. I looked at Di, with huge eye bags and panda eyes, lying asleep on the couch cos he's too tired to even move himself to the bed. And then the thought of walking the sick, cranky munchkins along the common corridor from 2am - 4am the other night (I can't even remember which night!!!) came to mind. Plus those shoulder and backaches I'm enduring now... These signs and symptoms are obvious answers to the million dollar question - NO.

Kudos to parents out there who are managing 2 kids or more, especially if they are multiples. You deserve a big hug!!! And more importantly, a break...
