bringing baby all over...

Tweet

hi all! as i have written earlier we have a power interruption here. actually, i am using the internet because God bless my in-laws, they have a generator set. however, it could not carry the aircon because it takes too much energy. and it has to be sacrificed between the refrigerator and freezer because of the food stored there, as well as the breastmilk that i have so tediously and gingerly pumped and collected. but the baby would not rest. she kept on crying and crying. she was moist all over because of sweat. and even if we carried her, we too are sweating and the exchange of body heat is too much for her. even if we put her crib in an airy area, still she would not relax. not until we went to mcdonalds, which was near our place. we wanted to order sundae, but it was not available. while they were also on generator and saving up on energy, at least the place was cooler. But after about 30 minutes, their genset bogged down. and then we were forced to go to another place, a mall, which was about 15 minutes away. when we got there, the place was also packed! it seems that everybody had the same idea, to go to the mall for airconditioning. we went into a coffee that was not crowded and there we were able to rest. our baby is only 6 weeks old. oh how i prayed to God for protection as we brought her to these public places. but this is the only way that she relaxed and slept. when we went home, we were still on gen set and so we were only allwowed to use the electric fan. but she slept soundly because she had already cooled off. it has been almost 8 hours already and still no sign of the electricity coming back. have you experienced bringing your baby anywhere and everywhere just so to avoid the heat and so that she would sleep? please share your expeirences. take care all and God bless you! happy mylotting! :D
