Introducing Kadala Parippu (Split Channa Dhall) to Baby

Posted on November 23, 2018 by pinkpoppy petal

I also offered Ahalya kadala parippu or split channa dhall today, but didn’t consider it as a new item of food because I had introduced her to lentils and legumes before.
Channa dhall packs lots of lean protein and fiber essential for baby’s growth and a healthy digestive system.

Because I’ve been dealing with my illness and feeling terribly low, Ahalya too has been confined to the house and a lot of negative energy. And it was time I stepped up and smiled through the pain, for her if not for me. It was obvious that I too needed a break from the constant worrying and my sad brown study. So, I took her to the pool for some swim time, sunshine and fries. We played catch with our toy, splashed in the water and even sang some songs. Today, I have another doctors appointment. And she’s coming with me. I do hope things go well 🤞🏽 #soloparenting #momwins #srilank #lka #ToddlerMomLife #ToddlerMommy

I was feeling really low the last couple of days because I was working so hard towards being healthy and fit for over a year now and when I was told I had to manage a chronic illness for the rest of my life, I felt defeated. Also the doctor’s conversation with me was scary. But one of the best things I did was share it on social media because two lovely ladies who has almost the same condition (esophagitis due to a hiatus hernia) wrote back to me and it sort of helped me accept it and understand its long term circumstances better. Another doctor who follows the page also wrote to me and sort of helped me understand what the situation really was and what options I had in terms of treatment. She was such a huge source of relief too. And two of my friends came all the way to Horana to see me the other day; one of them even brought her little daughter along so that Ahalya had some company. We went to the Pizza Hut (which is literally the only kid-friendly chain of sorts in Horana) and the two of them had a ball with lots of balloons. It lifted my spirits and I smiled after days. And I’m glad Ahalya enjoyed some company too (they loved looking at photos of themselves); apart from her moody, brooding mom’s. Thank you to everyone who wrote to me, encouraged me to stay strong, said they believed in me to get through this and sent positive vibes my way. I am truly grateful to you all. And I’m glad I have this support system, even though you are all miles and miles away from me ❤️

I thought about not posting this a million times. But today, I finally thought I would. One of my best friends said that it’ll help to share and be transparent about it. I also owe my clients on IG an explanation. Since October last year I was struggling with a persistent cough, difficulty in breathing and, later, severe bouts of gastritis. It was diagnosed wrong twice and in March this year we figured out it was gastrointestinal related. I had to undergo an endoscopy last Sunday and it was determined that I have a condition called Esophagitis due to a hernia at the opening of the stomach leading to the diaphragm. Because of it there is a wound erosions in the lining. The specialist I consulted marked it as being at stage 2. There is a risk of it becoming cancerous if it gets to stage 3 or 4. So I have to be very careful with my diet and how I eat. And about my overall lifestyle. I have been suffering through refluxI for the longest time. Now I’m asked to stay off caffeine, alcohol and fried/fatty food. Greatly limit spicy food, citrus fruits, red meat, wheat flour and white rice intake. And just when I was starting to get excited about working out and getting fit, I have to stop my weight training, lifting and my cardio routines too. Only walking swimming and light yoga. The last few days I had fever with puking and purging with headaches, back pain and abdominal pain. I’m also suffering a bacterial infection which isn’t helping. After dengue last year my immunity is still damaged, severely. I can’t believe that my heath has deteriorated so much in these past few months and that it’s gotten so complicated. It’s comes as a shock and something that has deeply saddened and made me feel a sense of acute hopelessness. But I do want to recover, mostly for my little girl, or at least maintain my health and wish that it never reaches the next stage. I’m sorry for the absence and silence from social media. I hope you understand. And I hope too that this finds you all healthy and safe. Much love ❤️

GUYS! She slept through the whole of last night 🙌🏾 I know 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 So, anyway, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but Ahalya always talks about picnics; ever since she was gifted a book on two bears going on a picnic. She invites all her toys, my friends, our family and whoever is around and says, “Let’s have a picnic! We’re eating strawberries, grapes and some chocolate cake.” It’s the same three things, always. So we all pretend to eat these goodies with her. And whenever I ask her what we’re drinking, she says. “Mikka (milk).” So, when she woke up today, I wanted to surprise her with her own little picnic, with her usual favourites; green grapes, fresh strawberries, chocolate cake topped with melting ganache (it’s my fault for making that last minute) and mikka! And boy was she thrilled 😁 I also realized that she loves the concept of sharing food with loved ones, just the way I do. She would offer everyone grapes and cake and make room for people to sit. It was so cute. I’m so happy I did this for her. We’re definitely going somewhere outdoorsy with a nice, big picnic basket when Thaththi comes back too ❤️ #soloparenting #momwins #srilank #lka #toddlerpicnic

Annnnd it happened again last night. I treated myself to dinner with a friend and a viewing of Endgame at CCC. It was a nice break from the low I’ve been on this whole week. A change from the tedious repetition of mom duties. So, anyway, I got home at 1am and was waiting to finally catch up on some sleep. God knows I need it! And mom handed the little one over. Ahalya was sleeping peacefully. But I think she heard me pottering about the room and suddenly woke up. I got into bed with her and tried to settle her. But she didn’t have any of it. We finally slept at 5am. It was another long, long night. She didn’t let me sleep either, obviously. Every time I fell asleep, she’d wake me up asking for water, telling me she had to poopy in the commode, wanting to play with balloons and the list goes on. No wonder I keep falling ill. I barely get 5 hours of sleep at a stretch these days. Hopefully tonight will be better... it has to be 🤕 #Toddlerhood #Sri Lanka #Lka #sleepregression #toddlerteething #teethingtwoyearold #terribletwosarereal

Caption this and I’ll tell you what she was actually saying 😁
