First week at home town..

It is not a good beginning since I was transfer back to my hometown. First, I have to deal with Alfred on and off fever. He started fever on Friday night. We went to child specialist on Saturday morning. He is better till Sunday. On Monday, his fever came back again. He is ok during the day but when the night fall, his fever reaches 39.1 Celsius. On Tuesday, we went to the child specialist again. I’m so afraid of dengue. I get my mother in law to have his urine taken at the morning so that we can bring to the doctor for analysis. I was shocked when the doctor told me that urine tested positive of diabetes. I’m almost fainted. Immediately, I took Alfred to the hospital for a blood test to confirm the doctor finding. Waited after ½ hour for the blood test, sugar level of Alfred is normal and the blood test was good. No signs of dengue and so called diabetes. I’m so relief. Doctor, you can’t trust them 100%. It just likes my Alfred pregnancy experience. Every time we asked the gynecologist about Alfred condition, he told us that our baby is normal. He didn’t even say anything about Alfred condition even after he was born. We discovered Alfred condition only when Alfred reached 4 months old, when he growing is not according to normal baby by the hospital.

My mother in law said I shouldn’t bring Alfred going home with me after I finished off work for a few days. She will look after Alfred during night time. So, for the past few day, Alfred is staying with his grandma and me too staying over at my in law house. Luckily, he fever is now gone. Otherwise, I will bring him for another blood test for dengue. That’s was my first week at hometown.

About my work, I was placed at the customer service department on front desk. The consequences are that you will get nasty scold from customer every day. I was given training only on the first day, the day after; I was left alone handling customer inquiries which I’m not yet familiar with. My new colleague, who suppose to train me wanted to hand over the job to me ASAP so that she could move on to the counter which lesser work. Well, of course I’m totally not happy about this. So, when those hard core customer came for inquires and I couldn’t answer them, well, you should able to imagine what happen next although you told them, I’m new, Sir. Kindly please proceed to the counter. Wow, you get those nasty scream after you say so. I’ve spoken to my executive that if possible, I wanted to be placed to other units but sadly, it was all taken up according to her. Seem likes there is nothing else I can do. I’m counting down my day. I don’t want to pressure myself as my baby is coming very soon. I don’t want to have a stress baby so I have to get cool in things that I do. I used to look forward to my working day, but I’m feeling reluctant to go to work nowadays.

Pregnancy updates

Baby is growing normally. According to the scanning, baby measurement is up to par with my pregnancy. Baby is now 35 weeks. I have another 4 more weeks to go. Daddy planned to come back after I deliver but it just a planning. It has to depend on his job on hand. If not, baby will have to wait until next year Chinese New Year, falls on 14 February to meet daddy. I’m so looking forward for baby arrival. Baby is very active because baby likes to kick me every second. I’m still able to cope up with the back and leg pains.

Oh my, sounds like a rough first week! I'm so glad that Alfred is better and does not have diabetes! Customer service is tough, but I'm sure you will be fine once you get into the swing of things! So glad that the baby is doing well, and my goodness, I can't believe you are already at 35 weeks! I will be anxiously awaiting baby pictures! Hugs to you and Alfred!

I'm sorry you had such a tough first week! It's good to hear that Alfred is doing better though and does not have diabetes!
Customer service is definitely a tough job, but I'm sure with a little time, you'll be more comfortable with your new position. I wish you all the best in dealing with unhappy people!
Wow - only 4 more weeks to go! I'm so happy that your baby is doing well and is so active! I hope KS is able to come home after you deliver! Can't wait to see pictures of your new baby!
