I am a nervous Mum, which is very weird because I'm normally so calm in emergency situations. Everyone else loses the plot and I immediately go into crisis management mode. But with Caleb, I just can't cope with anything happening to him. I put it down to being a 1st time Mum and wanting a child for so long. Now he's here I'm scared I will lose him.
I know it's silly. This week Caleb had a rash all over his back and front and we took him to emergency. I tried to stay calm but before we even pulled into emergency I was crying.
He had the cold for the 1st time in his young life so he was on antibiotics, and the rash was a reaction to it. But while he had the cold, he was teething as well, so he was on panadol as well. He didn't take it very well, and spewed a couple of times. The 2nd time, I lost it, and couldn't stop crying.
It could be hormones as well, with pregnancy, but i'm becoming a stress head.
As for my year's challenge: Better today. But the evening is still young :)

hi Tali!!!! Oh i have missed you! I am back!!! crazy computer i have! How is Caleb faring? I remember the first time Nonny was sick---very sick....I felt the same way---just totally losing my mind! You are not alone sis, I love you!
HI Tali: what you feel is so normal, dear sister in Christ! Just try to remember that the Lord brought him into your life and watches over him! How is he doing??
Hi Lill and Faith, my two favourite internet buddies! Great to hear from you both.
Caleb is doing well, his rash has more or less gone. He still has a runny nose, but it doesn't stop him from climbing everywhere and grabbing everything.
Thanks for the encouragement.
love to you both, t
