Thank you Jesus!

I'm beginning my post today by thanking my dear Lord. Thank you so so so so so much!

I just couldn't imagine how my days will be, if I ever lost all of them.

Well, since my daughter was born, I diligently captured and documented all her monthly development. I ensure that I organized her photos nicely in the hard disk, and get them printed and bought few photo albums to put her lovely baby pictures. I do have folders "Photo" and "Video" and I organized them month by month. I did the same for my baby boy. And I even have those pictures of my weekly belly. The ultrasound pictures and videos. I heart memories. All those memories are just so important. Especially those softcopy memories that I kept in the hard disk. From time to time, whenever I have nothing better to do, I will sit down in front of the PC and look back at the day my daughter was born, how she grew up from 0 to 1, 1 to 2 and then now, she's 2 years old! I teared, I smiled, I laughed in front of the PC. This baby girl makes me a complete wife/mom. And then, the baby boy was born. Today, he's 6 months old. Oh boy, time passed by just like that.

One evening, as I walked out the bedroom after nursing Daniel, I saw my hubby was sitting on the floor. He had this disappointed look in him. His sad face looked unusual to me, and I knew something was not right. He opened his mouth, and he said "Dear". Ok, faster tell me what was wrong. "Dear, the hard disk is EMPTY." I was shocked. Why empty? How did it happen? Are you joking?

Ok, I calmed myself down and asked him what we can do now. He was already in the progress to recover the files from the hard disk. Scanning the hard disk was in progress. And as I checked the progress, I saw 61234 files found. I saw hope. I saw light. It seemed like it's possible to recover back the files. All I need is my babies' photos and videos! I need them so badly that I couldn't sleep well that night. I just couldn't imagine how my days will be, if I ever lost all of them - the photos and videos.

Scanning of the entire hard disk took about 6 hours, and at 3am, I saw the files that I can recover. And I quickly scroll to check if I can see my babies' photos/videos. Hallelujah! I saw them. I'm not sure if it is all of them, but I saw the folders that I created, from 0-12months, from 1 year to 2 years. My heart leaped for joy. And my heart says, "Thank you Jesus."

Till today, I still couldn't stop thanking my dear Lord, for making it all happen. That the recovery was successful, I get back all my precious photos, precious memory lanes. All my travel photos, baby photos, wedding photos, birthday photos... all of them!

Lesson learn : Backup Backup Backup Backup! Backup as many as you can!

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Jesus!!!!!!

I think you will cry...

If you see how my baby boy cough his lungs out...

He looks as if he uses up all his might, all his strength, he curls up his body, just to cough out the phlegm...
And he looks like he's in so much pain.

When I look at him, I felt so helpless. All I can do is to scoop him up, give him a peck on his forehead and said "It's ok" and then I position him 45 degrees to help him cough out his phlegm. Sometimes it works, sometimes he get irritated and he screamed and sometimes he struggled and kicked.

We brought him to ER yesterday and after a dose of nebulizer, he seemed to be better. He's not wheezing, so I'm not sure if giving nebulizer is a good choice. Nebulizer helps to open up the airways and after the first dose, we did see some improvement in him. He vomited out the phlegm 4-5 times right after nebulizer and he felt so much better ever since.

Get well soon baby. It hurts me so much whenever my babies are not well. =(
