The antibiotics are working!!!! :D

 

Thank you LORD. 

 

She is sooo gorgeous.  :) 

 

I pray that her parents will have an uneventful road further with Karmi's health, and trust that she will be a beautiful young lady with no issues stemming from her difficult birth.

 

I too await my daughter due on the 30th of May, so I am keenly interested in "Bunny", and now understand the pains of parenthood. It starts before they are born.

 

Thanks for the regular updates 2Bliss, they are greatly appreciated.

How cute is that face!

If only you could see how incredibly blue her eyes are. She is also very friendly and silly when feeling well.

 

Anyway, I have great news: Karmi has been discharged! She will have to stay home and keep taking antibiotics for a while, but she will be okay!

 

Thank you so much for everyone's support in yet another, albeit lesser, health crisis. XOXO

Since there are so many new and expecting parents following this thread, I would like to say that there are two often overlooked but invaluable items worth investing in:

 

1) The BabyBullet - https://www.babybullet.com and

2) Annabel Karmel's New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner - https://www.annabelkarmel.com/apps-books/new-complete-baby-toddler-meal-planner-25th-anniversary-edition/

 

The book guides parent through feeding stages, foods safe for each stage, introducing textures, eventual self-feeding and it includes 200 recipes. It was written by Ms Karmel in consultation with nutritionists and picky little eaters.

 

The BabyBullet (or similar product) allows quick and easy preparation of fresh meals containing only the wholesome ingredients you put into them.

 

These items involve an initial investment, but work out cheaper than store-bought food in the long run.

 

I want to implore you not to raise your precious little ones on jarred food - it is convenience food to be reserved for rare occasions when home-made food is not available. As adults we do not eat convenience food exclusively (gosh, I hope no-one here does!), so why should a baby do so when they are at a stage where proper nutrition is so critical to their development?

 

Karmi really enjoys discovering new foods and recipes lovingly prepared by her mom. Currently her absolute 10/10, finger-licking (literally) favourite is steamed and pureed broccoli+cauliflower+sweet potato. Sounds kinda gross to me :D but that must be packed with vitamins, minerals and nutrients.

 

Apart from proper nutrition, Ms Karmel's book ensures that babies are exposed to as many foods and flavours as possible whilst they are still very receptive to trying new things, thereby minimising pickiness which tends to start at age 2 or 3. She even has some sneaky tricks to get vegetables into a toddler's favourite dish without them even noticing.

 

Anyway, I do not benefit from the sale of these products. Just thought some new parents might not be aware that they can feed their babies superior home-made food that is quick, easy and inexpensive to make.

She speaks!!!

 

Little Miss Chubby-Cheeks has spoken some words in the last few days: "Letta" (One of her teachers is named Coletta); "Odi" (the German Shephard who has guarded her since the day her parents first brought her home); and either "Pappa" or "baba" - they aren't quite sure of that one just yet.

Aah Man. Hearing your child learning to speak is the most blessed thing for a parent . Brilliant.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing this 2Bliss. I am definitely getting both. I see Ms. Karmel has an App for R60 with alot of recipes from first food and onwards. I am sure my wife will find this very helpfull.
