i have a new baby

Last week my friend in HS school ringed me at 11am announcing that she want to come over.
Still muta in the eyes, I "hai" on it.

The last time I saw her was 6 months ago during my Harry's (my cousin) Birthday before my Japan escapade.
She told me that time that she was pregnant... By jigger.
I don't know that if she know that I knew ... (tongue twister?)
Of course I have my sources. I really knew prior to her confession.

I try to believe that I didn't reveal an abhorrent face, although my glass of beer had been intermittently emptied every time she forced me to listen to her love story.

That noon, I crammed on buying snack.
Our ref was empty so I have to ask my sister to buy at least Coke and chips.
Although I'm aware that lunch is 30 mins away.

OOhh, the baby girl is so cute and calm. No sign of ADHD! hehehe
I tried to carry her but no good!
I'm the "stupidest" baby sitter a mother could have.
I think I almost break neck.
She so fragile.

She mentioned that her baby was having "milk problem".
Chu (the mother almost forgot to mention the name) is not breastfeeding.
I don't know if she's having trouble producing lactose or the baby doesn't know how to pressure her nipple.

***I had my OJT in Nestle under Milk production, so I know something about milk***


So she's relied on powdered milk.
However, the baby is lactose intolerant so she has to switch to soya-based milk.

***Mother's milk is the BEST for babies and nothing would replace it.
Even the most expensive powdered milk in the market cant replace the value of human milk.
Aside from the "touch" factor, there are good enzymes and nutrients that manufactured milk cant replicate.***

However I cant oppose her decision.
I am no doctor.
Speaking of doctor, the baby this week was rushed to the hospital due to severe diarrhea.
I suspect if not due to dirty ingestion of food or water, it could be due to incompatibility of the baby's system to the milk.

She texted me two days ago and asking for help in the hospital bills.
I was so ashamed that I cant lend her money because my family is bound to Ilocos this weekend for Lolo's one month death "anniversary" (much like 40
days here in Tagalog).
Of course, I was expected to shoulder some of the expenses. waaaaaa!
My money I saved during my Japan assignment is already approaching zero balance.
No savings at all.

How lame soon to be godfather!

I have a new baby ...
but still not mine
Is this a preview?
