momma yang cantekkk!

Aku nak benda ni sangat2!
Sejak Emir belum lahir lagi pun aku memang dah jatuh cinta yang teramat ngan brand tu.
macam, oh my.
Super comel la barang mOmma nehhh.
Tapi agak mahal juger.

Botol dia kan gemuk2 macam Tommee Tippiee.
and veri colorful gitu.
but for the bottle I still opt for TT la sbb lebih well known akan kebagusan dia kan.
mOmma punya bottle tu mcm gemuk sgt la pulak nak letak dlm henbeg.
and bentuk dia bukan mcm breast pun so tak mungkin la Emir suka, kan.

Normal price for this mOmma: Developmental Meal Set is RM105 and the cheapest yg aku jumpa is RM89.25.
ok tak eh?

The mOmma: Developmental Meal Set works with your baby to increase motor skills and enjoy feeding time. Stage one utilizes the plate and spoon. The plate is non-slip and non-tip base. Two compartments separate foods, promote taste differentiation and develop dipping skills. The spoon with soft tip is easy on the baby's gums. The rocking base entertains while keeping the utensil upright and preventing contact with soiled surfaces. Stage two utilizes the same plate with the fork with its rigid, yet soft prongs that promote normal use of utensils by baby.

and ada jugak this mOmma: Developmental Drink Set tapi ntah ye.
macam tak berapa berminat.
maybe sebab anak aku belum start minum gitu lagi kot.

The mOmma: Developmental Drink Set are designed to follow the various stages of your baby's growth and learning step by step, supplying a useful and complete product for weaning.

Three stage levels :

Stage 1 - 4m+, feeding bottle, round and ergonomic for your baby's tiny hands
Stage 2 - 6m+, non-spill and dual handle system can be fitted to the cup. Baby learns to grip the dual handles
Stage 3 - 8m+, cup with straw and single handle system can be fitted to the cup. Baby starts drinking from the straw using the single handle.

haiyohhh!
gile soping barang Emir je aku ni weh.
since Emir is entering his eating stage soon, harus la ai carik sebab utk soping brg dia je kan. bole jatuh mesken omak kalo ko dok enter byk2 stage ni nak.

and ptg ni Hubby ajak soping cat utk luar rumah.
sebab nak tambah awning kat depan tu so nak cat sekali la kan.
and aku nak tambah kaler dark fuschia utk feature wall kat hall atas tu.
kaler tu sebab aku dah terbeli gambar bunga cantek kaler pink so harus la dinding tu ikut tema gambar yang nak disangkut, kan.

Lama tak bercerita pasal rumah.
Akhirnya sampai nak duduk dekat setahun dah ni pun cerita tak abih lagi.

oh ye. aku tau mesti Harz nak cakap, yang pasal kawin, pasal bersalin tu pun akhirnya tak abih cerita jugak.
eh.

Advance for PHYSICAL THERAPISTS
Limiting Time in ‘Walker’ Devices May Avoid Back Pain Later in Life
By Pamela Rohland

Over the past decade, millions of parents have found baby walkers and similar products an ideal way to keep their kids busy and out of trouble while they take a break or attend to chores. But most parents aren’t aware of the dangers that accompany these seemingly innocuous pieces of equipment, including the potential for accidents and the potential for children to develop postures that have been associated with adult pack pain.

"I don’t think the advantages of walkers and saucers override the disadvantages," said Debi Kardon, PT, a staff therapist at the Voorhees, NJ. Evidence pointing to safety concerns with infant walkers is mounting. The American Medical Association called walkers a "lethal form of transportation" and a new study supports that description.

Researchers at The Ohio State University College of Medicine at Children’s Hospital in Columbus reviewed the records of 217 children treated at the hospital for baby walker-related injuries. In a report on the study from Reuters (Aug.5), despite adult supervision in 78 percent of the cases, 58 percent of the children had contusions and abrasions, 13 percent had concussions and head injuries, 12 percent had lacerations and 9.5 percent had skull fractures. Almost all of the children were injured after falling down stairs while in the walker.

Prevention strategies such as adult supervision, warning labels and stairway gates are not enough to make the walkers safe. Critics of the equipment are calling for stronger action. They suggest a ban on baby walkers in the United States, a strategy Canadians have adopted, or at least the manufacture of baby walkers that are too wide to fit through standard doorways.

From a safety standpoint, stationary activity centers like the saucers, which don’t roll across the floor on wheels, are preferable to baby walkers. But those who spoke with ADVANCE said both walkers and saucers can cause physical impairment and stress that they would not recommend either device.

So far, the evidence pointing to physical problems is largely anecdotal partly because it is difficult to measure the movements of such tiny bodies when they are in a cumbersome piece of equipment. And manufacturers counter that saucers can help kids develop some coordination as they turn, bounce and rock. But even they caution against placing children in the devices for more than 20 minutes a day.

Mary Weck, PT, a clinical specialist at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said she has seen more babies walking later because when they hang suspended in a walker or a saucer, they aren’t exercising the muscles they need for walking. "We’ve seen children who are over 18 months old who aren’t walking," Weck said. "Usually children walk when they are between 11 and 15 months. The only known condition these babies have in common is spending an inordinate amount of time in a walker or saucer.

"They don’t have the power to stay upright on their own because they don’t have good back extensors or abdominal muscles." The can have a negative influence on balance. Weck said she is even more concerned by children who are developing a posture that is almost sway-back because of the overuse of walkers or saucers.

They arch their back in an unusual way," she said. "That posture can cause back pain in adults, and there may be potential for long-term disability." When she treats teenagers with back pain, Weck asks whether they used a walker as a baby. Almost invariably, the answer is "yes". The devices also could contribute to difficulty with the feet because children often wind up waling on their toes or pronating their feet.

Kardon, who works with children with neurological physical impairments, said she definitely would not recommend walkers or saucers for them. "Developmentally delayed children or children with special needs use abnormal movement patterns," she said. "With spasticity, they’re already pushing their bodies into extension as a compensatory measure, and saucers would promote the abnormal patterns that we’re trying to break."

Peter A. Gorski, MD, MPA, executive director of the Massachusetts Caring for Children Foundation in Boston, said that along with physical and safety issues, he is concerned that walkers and saucers give parents and babies less time to interact. "The walkers diminish both crucial social interactive time and create unsafe situations," he said.

The clinicians interviewed agreed that babies need supervised "tummy time" to develop back, neck, abdominal and buttock muscles. They recommend a return to simply time spent playing with Mom an Dad on the floor, instead of using walkers and saucers. When parents need a break and would otherwise use standing equipment, playpens work great, said Weck.

If walkers and saucers must be used, babies should be in them no more than 20 minutes a day and parents should be with the child during that time, Gorski said. "If walkers can be used within a social context and they are only one tool to accomplish something, then they’re fine." he said. "But I would want them to be used interactively."

Weck said there needs to be more study to determine the effects of walkers and saucers. In the meantime therapist must help educate parents. "Most people have not heard the information about potential postural abnormalities," she said. "New parents are the most receptive to this information. People are not receptive if they already use them."

Baby walkers: Considering the full price of convenience
By Michelle P. Pronsati, ADVANCE staff

They are a standard gift at almost every baby shower, and for years parents have welcomed them as a respite from hands-on child care. Babies seem to enjoy them as well, rolling gleefully from room to room as they savor their first taste of mobility and independence.

But there is a simmering debate as to whether baby walkers are a good idea at all. Pediatricians, physical therapists and other health professional who work closely with infants say inappropriate uses and mounting injuries make the baby walker at item worth greater scrutiny.

"Walkers are generally bad for babies because manufacturers haven’t found a way to make them safe," said Donna Picone, MEd. PT, supervisor of the early intervention program at John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Edison, NJ.

It’s not that the manufacturers haven’t tried. Most major walker makers have attempted to answer parental and consumer concerns by reducing the size of leg openings and adding inches to the height of the back rest. But child experts estimate that thousands of infants are placed in walkers before they have developed sufficient head or trunk control, rendering these model changes almost useless.

Many of today’s models are adjustable in height, designed to adapt to the child as he or she grows. This change alone has prompted more parents to use walkers too early.

"They’re so much lower to the ground now that you can put younger babies in them," Ms. Picone said. "It used to be that walkers weren’t used until a baby was six months or older, but I’ve seen mothers use them at much young ages."

With today’s higher backs and lower heights, it’s easy to be lulled into thinking that walkers provide appropriate support, the PT acknowledged. But although here may be greater back support, there is virtually nothing to promote trunk or head control.

The belief that walkers accelerate a baby’s ambulatory progress is also a misconception, Ms. Picone pointed out. Although parents may believe a walker will promote exercise and purposeful movement, it actually can encourage inappropriate balance and postural techniques.

Walking on the toes is common while a baby is in a walker. This natural response involves stiffened legs and an of counterbalance. According to physical therapists and other clinicians who have studied motor behavior in infants, this reinforces undesirable movement patterns and can lead to problems in the manipulation of handheld toys.

Walkers may be particularly inappropriate for children with motor delays or other developmental problems, according to published research (see suggested reading list at end of story). Among infants with muscle tone or coordination problems, walker activities may hinder progress in physical therapy and other treatment.

Moreover, studies have shown that walkers do not actually hasten walking. Although babies can move the walker at an early age by pushing with their feet, this is only because their body is supported and not because they have the motor control and balance necessary for walking. This movement is merely propulsion, not walking.

"Walkers can provide parents with a few uninterrupted minutes to get something done, and they also give babies a sense of mobility and freedom," Ms. Picone said. "But parents should always be concerned with how long their child is in a walker. It should only be for short periods of time.

Walkers also can contribute to motor control and comfort in certain babies with special needs.

"When a baby is in a seated position without support, primitive reflexes are decreased," Ms. Picone explained. "And in some babies, a walker helps them come to a middle upright position."

She cited the case of a 15-month-old center. All four of her extremities are involved and she has a difficult time separating from her mother. Discouraged by the child’s continued volatile responses when she placed the girl on the floor, the mother tried a walker.

"She tolerates it better than being placed on the floor and it’s appropriate for her," the PT said. "While she’s in the walker, her feet are flat and her knees are bent. Her head control has improved as a result."

The use of walkers for babies with special needs should be a carefully considered decision. Ms. Picone cautioned.

"I advise parents and therapists to make the decision on an individual basis. If the child is motivated to move, it may be a help.: she said. "Some aren’t motivated that way."

As a matter of routine, therapists in the early intervention program at JFK Medical Center ask parents whether they use a walker at home. If they do, they are asked to bring the walker in for an evaluation.

"We evaluate each child in their walker to determine whether they can actually utilize it well," she explained. "If we can better position the child that will usually help. We won’t modify a whole lot, though, because if the child got hurt in the walker, liability would be an issue...but often, just adjusting one notch can do the trick."

Some of the issues that should be considered when evaluating a walker include height, the depth of the tray in front of the child, and the space between the child’s torso and the inner circumference of the walker.

"A child shouldn’t be able to slip his arm down and become stuck," Ms. Picone noted. "There should be a space of between 3 or 4 inches from the walker try to the baby’s ribs."

No matter how a walker is being used, constant supervision is imperative. More than 25,000 babies involving walkers, according to federal statistics. In the majority of accidents, babies fall down stairs in the walkers or topple over when the wheels become jammed. Many other accidents occur when floor surfaces change.

Babies placed in walkers when they are too young and small have become trapped in leg openings, while babies who are too large have fallen while trying to climb out of the device.

These injuries, which typically include head fractures and lacerations and tooth damage, have become so prominent that a Seattle pediatrician recently called for the removal of baby walkers from the market. Abe Bergman, MD., director of pediatrics at Harborview Medical Center, said last month that he and some pediatrician colleagues intend to ask the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue a ban on walkers.

Parents who use walkers should watch for warning signs that their infant has outgrown their appropriate use, Mrs. Picone said.. These signs include an ability to stand upright on flat feet and a tendency to reach for objects.

"The best position for using a walker is with the child’s knees bent at 90 degrees and the feet flat at 90 degree," she said. "If they’re pulling to standing, they shouldn’t be in a walker. The walker try should reach only to chest level, and it’s not if the child is standing. When it’s at waist level the child can flip the walker over by reaching or pushing forward quickly."

The use of walkers is something that should be monitored carefully and of only short duration, the PT said.

"There are many possibilities for babies to explore the world, including the floor," she concluded. "They shouldn’t be placed in walkers for more than 15 minutes, and always under constant supervision. Babies do things for the first time - like standing or reaching - when you least expect it. That’s why parents should always be prepared."

the husband.

yey! hubby is coming back dis weekend!!!
yey yey yey!!!
he says it's for good but I don't know.
there's no certainty here.
berharap sajalah that it's gonna be for good.
hum hum.
walau berapa banyak aku komplen kat sini, korang takkan paham betapa sedeh and susahnya hidup ni bila hubby takde. nothing can really describe how awful life is without hubby around.

orang kata, dulu time single bole je hidup sorang2.
memang la.
dulu aku pun rasa mcm tu jugak.
time awal2 masuk universiti dulu, aku takde boifren.
and ada one time tu aku tgh jalan2 kat MP dgn a few of my close fren and tgh citer2 tu sorang kwn aku, Adah, she kept talking about his bf (now her hubby).

aku ckp la kat dia, aku single, boleh je hidup sorang, pegi mana2 sorang. and she said, ko takde bf lagi bole la ckp camtu. nanti dah ada bf kang baru ko rasa susahnya kalau dia takde. she said, dulu dia pun jenis yg independent jugak tapi bila dah ada bf ni automatik telah jadi dependent tau.

and yes, it is sooo true.

a few months later, I met my bf (now an ex), and dulu, when he's not around, serasa hilang sebelah tangan dan kaki aku. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones yang sentiasa jumpa laki2 yg suka membantu, pampering me sampai aku jadi spoiled brat gini =p

Memangla dulu single bole je hidup sendiri.
Tapi bila dah berdua, berkeluarga, ada rumah sendiri ni, automatik akan menjadi dependent pd sang husben ye. that one adalah something yg tak boleh dinafikan, melainkan la kalau laki ko tu teruk nak mati satu benda pun tanak tolong kan.

I've never watch that Nora Elena but everyone in the office do and bercerita betapa best and heavennya dpt husben yg romantik gitu.

Tetiba teringat yg my hubby selalu ckp yang dia bukan seorang yang romantik.
1st time dia belikan aku bunga dulu pun dia call aku tanya kat sini mana ada jual bunga.
dia cakap, kakak dia mintak tolong belikan utk her office.
aku pun memang tak expect la dia nak belikan aku bunga so ngan lurus bendulnya aku bagitau la ada satu kedai tu yang company aku slalu order.
tup tup petang tu dia datang bawak sejambak bunga.
hubby aku ni kot ye pun pegi la tanya org lain kat mana ada kedai bunga tu kan.
ada plak gi tanya aku. haha.

and no, my husben is not as romantic as that Seth Tan but he has his own way to make me falls head over heels for him over and over again ^_^

bak kata Diah, whenever u wifey rasa cam jealous or dying to hv a hubby like ur frens' hubbies tu pls knw dat someone out there wud kill to have yours :)

dia yang dirindu.

Tadi aku park kat tempat pertama kami terserempak dulu.
Sedehla tapi rasa nak sengih2 bila teringat kisah lalu.

lorong itu, tempat pertama ketemu Hubby di sini.
...

Masa tu memang aku tau dia bekerja di sini.
Tapi tak kenal pun.
Sebabnya, we have more than 1500 staff here.
And semua pakai jeket/overall kuning pulak tu.
And kalau campur subcon, vendor, client mau dekat 3, 4 ribu jugak.

Walaupun aku dah bekerja di sini hampir 4 tahun, tapi bukan semua pun aku kenal.
Pastu dahla tak kenal, takkan nak sibuk2 bertegur sapa pulak kan.
Aku ni pun bukan jenis yang overperamah sangat.
If org tegur then baru la bole borak2.
Kalau org tak tegur, takkan nak sibuk2 pulak kan.
Bukannya nyombong tapi ntah ye.
I love to talk.
Kalau yg kenal aku, tau la kot.

So the first few months tu kami memang tak pernah bercakap.
Takat tengok je la sesama sendiri.
Lagipun aku kan tengah dgn somebody else time tu.

Cumanya, tiap kali datang ke opis, park kereta, aku suka tunggu dia datang and lepas nampak muka baru la masuk ke opis. and aku perasan, if dia datang dulu, he will wait for me to pass by, cenyum2 kat tingkap, and pastu baru la dia masuk ke opis. Aku selalu park kat area pokok2 kat belakang tu. And dia pulak park kat depan2 dkt ngan simpang tu sbb dia terer side parking. Aku tak terer. Sebab jalan tu memang slalu penuh ngan kete and lori treler. Sebab tu kete aku selalu kena park jauh nun kat belakang.

ye, sebab aku tak terer T_T

and if tempat parking kat jalan tu penuh, I'll park kat tempat lain pastu terus gi cafe sebab aku tau dia mesti gi brekfes kat situ dulu baru masuk kerja.

Dulu aku jarang brekfes.
Tapi aku pegi jugak ke cafe tapau air sirap bandung.
Sebab air tu je yang aku suka kat cafe ni.
yela, takkan gi cafe tak beli apa2 kan.
kang opismate tanya pulak.
haha.
macam ntah hapa2 je kan.

and bila first time dia call extension aku kat opis adalah gile terkejut.
so, something is really in the air between us ^_^

Pastu bila dah kawin ni and bila sama2 bercerita tentang kisah lalu, memang betul la apa yang kitorang dok pikir selama ni. Walaupun tak kenal tapi apsal ntah sibuk2 nak tunggu sesama sendiri dalam keta tapi takde nak bertegur sapa pun.
gila kelakar.

and oh my, I miss yu hubby.
...

Tadikan waktu jalan kaki ke kereta, tiba2 datang rasa rindu.
I miss to have somebody to talk to.
maksud aku, bercakap secara mengada-ngada.
eh maksud aku, somebody yang aku boleh cerita secara beremosi.
apa-apalah.

yela walaupun tiap hari Hubby telefon pun tapi perasaannya tetap tak sama.
nak komplen itu ini, nak bercerita banyak2, nak marah2 tentang semua.
bukanla nak suruh dia pujuk ke hapa cuma mau dia ada di situ dengarkan semua, tadahkan telinga. macam selalu, waktu dulu2.

kesian betul.

walaupun Hubby adalah suka membebel plus suka bercerita yang panjang lebar tapi tak kesahla.
I promise I will listen.
As long as he's here, apa2 pun tak kesah.
*owh janji2 manis nampaknyeh*

Tiap kali balik rumah, bukak pintu pagar pun akan datang rasa sebak sebab semuanya kena buat sendiri. Lebih-lebih lagi time hari hujan. Macam sangat sakit atilah. Rasa macam nak tunggu je hujan tu teduh or pegi kat memana dulu sementara hujan reda. Tapi bila pikir2 balik, in the end, aku jugak yang kena bukak pintu gate tu.
macam hampeh je kan.
saiko la pompuan ni bukak pintu pagar pun nak berkira.
T_T

Tapi time2 gini la selalu teringat, kalau Hubby ada ni mesti dia dah bukakkan pintu and pagar. macam dulu.
macam selalu.
dia yang buat semuanya.
owhh sedeh sedeh...

And dulu tiap kali balik kerja, if dia park kete seberang jalan, dia tetap akan suruh aku tunggu dulu and he will come over and pimpin tangan untuk melintas walopun sbenarnya jalan tu cuma sekangkang kera. Sangat sweet walaupun aku sebenarnya agak segan ngan para2 opismate.

And sangat rindu nak jadi co-pilot balik walaupun selalu telah tunjuk jalan yang salah kat Hubby.

penatla drive sendiri nih.
penat nak pergi memana pun sendiri.
kalau bizi, nak balik malam2 pun susah.
nak kena pikirkan anak lagi.
and aktiviti bersoping-sopingan bersama cik baby terpaksa ditangguhkan buat sementara waktu.

kadang2 je la kalau teringin sangat nak minum Starbuck or nak gi Harris tu angkut jugakla budak kecit ni ngan tulang 4 kerat.
nak masuk dlm ringsling dia tak berapa suka sebab macam terperap dalam tu kot.
hobi baru si Danish ni kan menerajang.
sume benda pun dia nak terajang.
sambil2 dia menerajang tu kang abih tercampak kuar terus dari ringsling tu kang.
terus jadi tragedi pulak.
tragedi omak yang gedik nak bersoping bersama anak yg tercampak keluar dari ringsling.

pastu nak angkut2 stroller tu macam leceh je.
dah la sekarang ni musim hujan.
sementara nak bukak2 stroller, baju aku pun dah basah lencun dengan air hujan ye.
pastu kalau balik malam2 dengan budak kecit ni macam sangat saspen je.
sebab rumah aku kan ala2 kat lereng bukit ngan pinggir hutan.
memang best sebab sunyi, sejuk, aman dan damai.
cumanya bila tinggal berdua ni memang aura takut tu cam terlebih pulak.
so kesimpulannya, tiap ari balik keje adalah terus balik ke rumah ye.
berdua-duaan la kami anak beranak gaduh sesama sendiri kat umah tu.
haha.

i miss yu hubby T_T

Emir Danish @ 3 months

As at today suda 3 bulan 3 minggu 4 hari pun usianya.
Emir Danish, si putera yang cerdik.

And the video below was taken on 12/5/2011 when he was 3 mths and 1 week++ old.

Baru nak belajar meniarap dengan betul.
And tup2 besoknya @ 3 mths 1 week and 5 dys old, dah selamat meniarap pun.

sangat comel hokey.
ai sebagai omak mestila cakap anak sendiri comel kan.
tapi memang kelakarlah tengok dia berusaha gigih nak meniarap tu ^_^

And tadi petang pergi ke Hospital Penawar for his 3 mths jab.
Actually dah nak masuk 4 bln pun ni.
Lewat sikit sebab aritu ingatkan Hubby balik minggu ni so bole pegi dengan dia skali.
tup2 kepulangan terpaksa dipostpone pulak...
So omaknya terpaksa angkut Danish secara solo gi hospital.

Time nurse bagi Rotavirus tu dia bole terover suka pulak.
Budak lain punyala susah nak makan ubat dia bole nyonyot syringe tu sampai bunyi cup cup cup ha.

gila kelakar.

Pastu bila dah abih terus menjerit marah.
Nurse ngan dokter siap gelak tengok.
terlebih suka ye.
Tapi time nak jab tu of cos la melalak kan dak kecit nih.
Tapi kejap je la.
Bila mommy dukung dia diam la balik.
Dokter bagi bekal ubat demam tapi aku tak bagi Danish makan pun.
Macam takut je nak bagi benda2 aneh kat budak tecik nih.
Nantila if demam betul2 baru bagi dia makan ubat tu kot.

After the checkup we went to McD.
Tapau mekciken yang promo buy 1 free 1 tu.
Takdela sedap mana pun tapi sebab benda free so belila jugak.

Pastu singgah kedai dobi amik comforter baru la balik rumah.
Tak pegi manapun.
Emir dah ngamuk2 nak tido so jangan harapla aku nak berwindow shopping bagai.
Kalau dulu jangan harapla aku nak balik awal gini.
telah berubah menjadik emak2 nampaknya nih T_T
Takpela nanti Hubby balik kehidupan akan menjadi normal balik ye.

Sebenarnya banyak yang mau dicerita di sini tapi seperti biasa alasan adalah bizi.
Cuma nak komen sikit pasal sterilizer.

I bought this Tommee Tippie sterilizer during sale last year.
jangan harapla aku nak beli barang mahal time tak sale.
haha.

Time tu Emir belum lahir lagi pun.
And I'm glad that I've bought this.
Walaupun agak besar tapi memang sangat bestlah.
Sebabnya, senang gila nak guna and boleh muat 4 storage bottle + 2 corong breastpump dalam satu masa.
Dahla dia bagi free 1 botol ngemuk kecik + 2 botol ngemuk besar + 1 thong + 1 brush.
Jimat duit aku kan.

And aku ni dah la bergerak secara solo so byk benda kena buat sendiri so pagi2 tu of cos la kekurangan masa nak sterilize banyak2 kali.
Kalau nak pegi opis tu selalunya memang aku bawak 4 or 5 storage bottle je so memang cukup2 la muat untuk sterilize 1 round.
Dah siap sterilize tu letak dalam air mesh bag, terus angkut gi opis.
Kompem kering and jimat masa.

And aku tatau brand lain macam mana tapi yg aku guna ni dia ada indicator C, E, S, H, 3, 2, 1 & 0. If 0 tu maksudnya ko dah kena sterilize balik la.

Ada sekali tu aku bukak time dia tgh kat C.
C tu kan maksudnya cooling so aku ingatkan dah agak2 sejuk la.
sekali, gile panas nak melecur kulit hokey.
patutnya kena tunggu sampai kuar no. 3 tapi dah tak menyabar camtu la.

oklah, nyambung lain kali sebab nak tido.
bye!

Emir Danish & Tragedi

'nampak tak?

ye, itu adalah kaki Emir Danish.
tuan punya kaki tgh sibuk nenen so mommy dapat tangkap gambar kaki je la sebagai bukti 1st time Emir ke Johnny's JJ Tebrau.

and that's the day before Hubby went to offshore.
25/3/2011 kalau tak silap.

so, setelah ada si kecik ni jangan harapla dapat bercandlelight dinner bagai ye.
harus la sorang makan, sorang lagi ke hulu ke hilir mendodoi si anak.
dah la anak aku ni spesis suka menjerit menerajang.
harus terbalik kuah steamboat atas meja tu kalau dok memangku dia time makan.
terus jadi Emir perisa tomyam.

and takmo diletak dlm stroller yang tak bergerak pulak tu.
harus terkeluar anak tekak dia menjerit.
sebab tak nampak pemandangan gaknya.

So sementara aku bersteamboat, encik Hubby bawak la Emir jalan2 kat luar tu.
Pastu time turn Hubby makan, aku nenenkan si kecik ni.
Maka dapatla amik gambar seperti di atas.

oh, and telah berlaku tragedi time nak balik tu ye.
Keluar dari JJ, jalan2 ke kereta, start enjin, and tup tup, 'eh nape tanak hidup?

pukul 10.30 malam pulak tu.
dan la ngan mengangkut budak kecik ni ha.
sudahhhhh.

takkan nak tow kereta ngan aku ngan si kecik ni mengiringi.
dah la flight hubby besoknya tu.
so kalau hantar ke bengkel pun, takkan besoknya aku yang kena nguruskan semuanya kan?
gile saspen.

so Hubby called his fren, Jay, and ingat nak try guna jumper dulu.
Hopefully battery problem la so that aku takyah nak risau2 kemudian hari time Hubby takde kang.

About half an hour later, Jay pun sampai...
Try guna jumper tapi tanak hidup jugak.

adoi ai. nape la time2 gini dia buat hal pulak...
Tapi elok la time gini daripada time Hubby dah pegi kang baru dia buat hal lagi la naya aku kan.

so diorang saspek benda lain yang problem.
so tinggal la kete kat situ and Jay hantar kitorang balik...

Masuk dalam kete Jay, aku punya la nak gelak sakan.
kau tau lagu apa dia dengar?
keroncong hokeyyyy!
muka rock kapak tapi dengar lagu keroncong.
sangat tak sesuwaiii!!
mana la hubby aku dapat bespren yang sehati sejiwa ngan dia nihh?
wahahahahaha.
tak cukup tanah aku gelak.
tapi dalam hati je la.
sepanjang jalan balik ke PG tu aku dok tersengih yg dasat padahalnya tak pikir pulak kete yang rosak tinggal kat JJ tuh.
haha.

Aku pun jiwa klasik jugak tapi takde la sampai tahap nak dengar lagu keroncong ni wei.
Seriesly ni second time aku jumpa laki muka ganas yang suka lagu keroncong.
1st is my hubby and 2nd is Jay.
how on earth that they met each other la kan.
gile kelakar.

And then, besok paginya patut Hubby bertolak ke KB tapi tukar flight petang sebab nak nguruskan kereta dulu.

And ingatkan starter problem ke hapa tapi rupanya memang btul battery problem.
Sebabnya sejak beli dulu mati2 ingatkan kete ni guna bateri kering so telah mengabaikan je selama ni. Rupanya bateri basah ha.

sangat2 bersyukur benda ni jadik time Hubby still kat sini.
dah la aku ni kuat berjalan.
dibuatnya benda ni jadik time aku tgh bersoping ngan Danish tak ke naya.
harus aku call tok Abah yg duduk 90 km away utk dtg membantu.
hehe.

Tentang susu.

Dah sebulan pun balik bekerja kat opis ni tapi arini baru sempat bercerita.
First day ninggalkan si tecik nanish kat rumah pengasuh adalah agak saspen.
Takut dia nangih tak berenti or mengamuk or tanak minum susu guna bottle.
dan yang paling takut adalah kalau something bad happen.
Maklumla, dengan segala cerita yang tak berapa best lately ni tentang pegasuh kanak-kanak kan.

So time lunch tengahari tu kelam kabut la aku ke rumah babysitter (BS) sebab nak tengok Danish. Sempat jugak la nyusukan dia sekali.

ai rindu hokey.
Maklumla selama bercuti ni dok ngadap muka dia 24 hrs kan.
And nasib baik EBM yang aku bekalkan dlm 13 oz tu cukup.
Hari first je la cukup 13 oz tu.
Hari kedua dan ketiga tak cukup pun.
Tengahari tu aku call the BS and she said susu tak cukup so dia tanya boleh tak kalau dia bagi formula.

Aku memang ada bekalkan susu formula jugak kat BS tu.
yela... in case kalau EBM tak cukup takkan nak biar anak aku kebuluran sampai ptg kan.
Sib baik aku dah pam kat opis so time lunch tu aku anto la EBM gi rumah dia.
nasib baik dekat.
2 km je from my office.

Tapi memang pun susu yang aku bekalkan pagi2 tu tak cukup.
Sebabnya, aku start pam 4 days before aku masuk keje.
Sehari pam sekali je and dapat la sikit...
Time pantang jangan harapla dapat simpan stok susu.
kan aku ada cakap si Emir ni kejenya ngempeng je ngan mommy.
So, dapat la 4 botol 3 oz...

Time pantang dulu, paling banyak pun dapat 2 oz je tiap kali pam.
tak mungkin la dapat lebih dari tu.
Time tu aku memang dah saspen dah.
rasa memang aku kena campur dengan formula gak sebab tak dapat pam susu banyak.
so, masa first time pam kat opis memang aku agak2 dapat dlm 2 oz gak la.
tup tup, dapat 5 oz sekali pam hokey!
terkejut ai.
And the second day dapat 9 oz!!
owhhh sangat gembira!
baru paham perasaan orang yang terover excited bila stok EBM dia banyak.

and alhamdulillah, berkat pam dengan konsisten 3 kali sehari = 17 oz++, anak aku dapat maintain menyusu badan sampai sekarang...

Tapi seriesly penat okeh.
Time first week masuk keje tu aku bangun kul 5.30 pg sebab takut lambat nak gi kerja. Start second week onwards baru bangun pukul 6 sebab dah dapat bajet masa.
And malam, dekat pukul 1 pg baru aku tido sebab nunggu nanish tidur baru aku boleh buat keje lain.

And when I said seriesly penat it is memang betul2 penat hokeh.
Aku pikirkan anak besok takde susu je yang buat semangat nak mengepam tu ada.
Kalau ikutkan memang takde tenaga la ko dah sehari suntuk keje kat opis, nguruskan anak, ke hulu ke hilir lagi, ngan keje yang berlambak kat rumah. Nak basuh botol, nak sterelize lagi. ngan laki aku yang takde kat sini. Ada one day tu aku basuh pinggan sambil dukung si Danish sebab time tu dah maghrib, dia plak takmo diletak, so buat kerja sambil menggendong dia la. wuhuhu... seriesly memang sangat bangga la ngan diri sendiri.

and thanks to botol Tommee Tippie yang comel itu juger anak aku tak ngalami nipple confusion sbb bentuknya yg ala-ala breast gitu.

'eh snanye nak cerita pasal hari-hari pertama balik ke opis tapi tercerita pasal EBM plak.
so terpaksa tukar tajuk jadi 'Tentang susu' ye.

Last but not least, ini adalah gambo latest budak tecik bam2 yang kencingkan mommy pagi tadi time nak gi opis.
Sib baik tak kena baju.
Tapinya abih basah lencun tilam aku.
bertuahnye Emir ^_^

muka tak bersalah.
haha.

the hectic life.

I'm so menat hokey.
menat!
bizi melampau.
ngan life yang veri d hectic.
di opis juga di rumah.

And I've just finished handling another DI case last week.
sangat menci la kalau ada cases yang macam nih.
It will take days and days to settle and mengerah segala tenaga yang ada.
Macam aritu, we stay up for almost 14 hrs in the DI sitting (Domestic Inquiry) or what we called as 'mahkamah syarikat'. Dari breakfes, lunch, minum petang membawak ke dinner pun dalam meeting room tu you! Sampai rumah of cos dah lewat malam and berasa sangat sedeh sebab aku kena balik sendiri sebab Hubby still kat offshore.

Tu belum campur the pre and post DI thing.
Memang super penat and kering kontang dah otak aku nih.
'oo kau ingat sonang yo nak mencarik kesalahan orang nih?

and tomorrow I have a counseling session for a misconduct case.
Kot kalo aku ni sedia minat benda2 gini memang dari dulu dah aku amik law tuh.
Tak payah nak sesusah belajar Physics, Add Math bagai.
Baik aku bergoyang pinggul kaki kat kelas sastera time form 4, form 5 dulu.
Tapi malangnya aku memang tak pernah and tak teringin pun nak minat.
Tapi camne ntah bole terlibat jugak dengan benda2 gini.

And it won't matter much la kalau aku ni still single mingle lagi kan.
Masalahnya, aku ni omak beranak satu yang hidup sendiri utk beberapa bulan nih.
Sangat takut kalau the babysitter takmo menjaga cik baby if aku terpaksa berovertime sampai lewat2 mlm gitu kan tanpa di warning terlebih dahulu.

And I'm officially closed for any orders until June 2011 ye.
Mungkin akan tutup kaunter lebih lama lagi tapi bergantung pada keadaan la.
Tak mungkin la dapat buat guestbook dengan keadaan berkejar-kejaran macam ni.
harus aku tercicir si Emir kat tengah jalan kang.
kang bila laki aku balik tanye anak dia mana, bole tak jawab, 'eh lupe plak letak mana yeh.
omak yang sangat bizi ngan kehidupan duniawi.

and my baby is entering his 3-months stage today.
time dia jab 2 bulan aritu pun tak sempat la mau cerita di sini.
he's getting more and more adorable everyday.
kalau dia nangih pun aku akan biar je dulu sebab sangat best dengar bunyi ngek-ngek-nging-ding-ding-muka-cebik2 dia tuh.
omak dia sempat bergelak sakan sebelum operasi pujuk-memujuk berlaku.

haha.

tapi memang la.
macam sangat tak puas menggomol-gomol-cium2-pipi-bam2 tiap hari and tetiba ni dah membesar dengan jayanya pulak...
owhh memang sangat cepat ye masa berlalu.
...

dearie Emir, plis grow up slowly.
Mommy mau nikmati saat2 terindah membesarkan kamu nih..

and encik baby got this from his beloved auntie!
I've been meaning to buy this thing for ages tapi asik takde stok je kat Littlewhiz tu and tup2 bila my sis datang sini last week, she brought along this thing.
ooo sib baik la mommy tak beli dulu kan Emir.

thanks nyah ^_^

congrates papa!

It is Sunday.
But like what Hypenated L said, sometimes Sunday can be a not so "sunny" day..

sometimes it's dark..
sometimes it rains..

sometimes you're just angry..
sometimes you're just weepy..
sometimes..

Well, sometimes you just can't finish what you started and that makes me mad and sad.
...

so, Hubby is finally promoted to be the Project Manager.
alhamdulillah... rezeki anak...
'kan orang cakap, setiap anak itu datang dgn rezeki dia yang tersendiri.. ^_^

Cumanya, kami yang tinggal di sini harus berkorban sedikitlah.
Hubby has to go offshore on and off sampai la projek tu abih.
and then sambung projek lain pulak.
hummm.
sbenarnya aku lebih suka dia kerja yang biasa2, seperti waktu mula2 aku kenali dia dahulu.

the money is enough and life is much simpler.
and we lived together.
...

but deep down inside I know it's never enough for my ambitious, Sagittarian hubby.

Nak kata sedeh, memang la sedeh.
Tapi itu sebenarnya mengajar kita jadi lebih tabah, berani, dan kuat hadapi semuanya..
from a dependable person to an independent woman.

Tapi, rumah memang mcm kapal karam la.
kete pun tak berbasuh.
nak jemput kawan-kawan datang rumah pun segan.
tak mungkin la sempat nak mengemas sendirian nih.
lagi baik aku layan si kecil Emir.
kesian dia... dah la dapat bermanja ngan mommy waktu malam je kan.
so ujung bulan nanti bila papa balik baru kita start operasi ngemas2 balik ya Emir =p

i miss u hubby...

ai tengok hindustan hokey.
aritu citer Hum Tum.
pastu citer Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega.. <-- tergeliat lidah aku nak sebut citer nih
kalau encik Hubby tau ni mesti dia kagum sambil gelak gumbira.
sebabnya, time dia kat rumah, jangan harapla dapat nengok citer lain.
kalau tak tengok bola kompem akan tengok citer hindustan kat Astro nuu.
gile sakit ati kalau dia bukak channel tu.
apsal ntah aku bole jadi anti sangat tu.
but seriesly aku tatau pun apa yang best ngan cerita2 gitu.

kadang-kadang kalau dia kemaruk sangat nak tengok Hindustan, aku akan pura-pura tido or buat keje lain.
tanda protes la konon.
and dia tau aku memang sangat2 tak suka dengan cerita2 itu.
tapi ni nape ntah tetiba bole terbukak plak channel tu and tetiba bole tertengok sampai abis and bole tersuka.
...

haha.

i miss u hubby.
T_T

of Motherhood, Life & Job

I’ve been meaning to blog for ages now but well, life has gotten in the way.
Juggling with motherhood, my 8-to-5 job dan segala yang lain di kiri dan kanan.
owh... sgt bizi hokey!

I'm not saying that mengadap hidup yang baru ini sangat menyusahkan sebab tiap kali tatap wajah si anak akan automatik buat diri rasa hepi tersengih2.
Tapi, handling little Emir plus going back to work after 2 mths of confinement leave without encik Hubby around adalah quite a challenging job.

First day masuk keje pun dah kena handle case besar yg buat kepala berpinar2.

ngan aku yang nak prektis drive balik setelah dekat setahun tak memandu...
ngan nak prektis pujuk Emir kalau dia melalak dalam car seat time tgh drive...
ngan nak bangun pagi siapkan sumenye sendiri, kelam-kabut nak mandi, siapkan Emir, tukar diapers, packing susu, packing beg mommy, sterilize botol2 sume tu...
and kalau Emir dah bangun merengek2 harus aku ngendong si kecil tu sambil buat keje sbelah tangan.
sib baik setakat ni berjaya mandi sebelum dia bangun iaitu pada pukul 5.45 pg. kot tak, memang aku mandi2 ayam je la.

and nak pam susu ngan konsisten 4 times a day lagi...
ooo that's the max oke.
tak mungkin la akan larat nak pam lebih dari tu sebab gile penat!
tapi kerana anak kan, aku gigihkan jugak.
so, itulah emak namanya.

And even aku balik keje pukul 5 lebih pun tetap akan sampai rumah dekat pukul 7 padahalnya rumah cuma dlm 10 km je dari opis.
ke hulu ke hilir berpusing2, amik Emir kat babysitter, gi isi minyak, beli makanan utk dinner, etc etc.

yes, hidup memang agak rumit when hubby is not around so cepat la balik ye papa.
mommy and Emir miss u soooo much!!!

selamat tinggal cuti...

so, besok adalah keja ye.
selamat tinggal kehidupan yang gile heaven dok umah mengulit si kecil Emir sambil tengok tv makan eskrim...
*wave*

kita jumpa lagi insya allah beberapa tahun akan datang for little A-S and little Z-M.
gila kau nama anak no. 2 and no. 3 pon dah siap2 prepare nih.
hehe.

Semalam jalan2 ngan my mom and little Emir ke 4 shopping complex, konon-kononya mau carik baju baru.
Baju2 lama untuk ke opis ada la selai dua yang aku masih boleh pakai tapi yang lain adalah super sempit hokey!
T_T T_T

Mula2 try saiz S, langsung la mcm nangka bungkus.
Terus sedar diri maka try saiz M.
Tapi tersangkut plak kat atas tu.. eh.
Slow2 capai saiz L dan, uwaaa........ muat2 je weh!

Mengapekah 7 kilo yang degil ni susah betul nak ilang eh?
Merasa la kau pakai baju saiz L pasni and sampai bila2 T____T
gedik sgt beli banyak2 baju saiz S dulu kansss.

Mungkin perasaan adalah body lepas bersalin akan maintain slim melim macam dulu...
hoh! mak suh pakai bengkung ko tanak... panas la melekit la itu la ini la. degil sgt memang mcm tu kannn. pastu makan sume nak sedap je. stok coklat berbungkus2 kat umah tu ha. tak kira plak eskrim Wall's berkotak2 kat fridge tu. hoh hohhh!!

hubby oo hubby, cepatla balik... bleh neman cyg joging tepi tasik tu hubby.
tak pun gi gym.
eh tapi nanish tecik ni nak letak mana plak.
tetiba lupe daratan jap.

setelah tamat berpantang...

'nampak tak?
hehe.
Perasmian sempena tamat berpantang 42 hari.
Pertama kali kembali jejakkan kaki ke Old Town dan Tesco dan kali ini bersama si kecil ini ^_^

Gigih oke papa dia nak pakai stroller tu.
Mesti Emir heran kena selubung ngan selimut ngan topi bagai.
Aku cakap besok2 je la baru guna stroller sbb nak kuar kejap je nih.
Lagipun dah pukul 8 mlm so kang nak baca manual, nak mengejas2 kang makin lambat plak. 'kan org ckp tak bape elok bwk baby kuar mlm kan.

tapi, takkkkk.
seboleh2 dia nak rasmikan stroller tu mlm ni jugak.
takut benor gaknya mommy yg rasmikan dulu.
haha.

So lepas operasi punggah2-box-carik-manual-stroller-tapi-tak-jumpa, dia pun pandai-pandai la sendiri sampai berpeluh2 berpusing2 nak mencarik cara nak recline stroller tu. sib baik la boleh, kot tak memang tak jadik kuar la mlm tu gamaknya.

so, 1st time juger mommy makai heels balik setelah 8 bln makai kasut leper.
da bole buang da kasut2 leper tuh.
hehe berlagak jap.

see?
stroller tu bwh kawalan papa tau. mama takleh kacau.
haha.

Malam tu pertama kali juger makan mi kari balik.
owhhh... sedap sungguh la kat tekak aku.

And besoknya aku ngan Emir balik kg sbb hubby gi offshore for a few days.
Tak mungkin la Tok Abah ngan Tok Mama bg Emir dok sini berdua je ngan mommy.

So, kat kg of cos telah dapat makan yang sedap2.
tomyam seafood...
air kelapa muda gula mlk...
asam pedas ikan merah...
hoh~ mmg heaven yo!

Maka telah melantak tak hingat sebab kata dah abis pantang kan.
Nasib baik Emir ok jek.
gaknya sebab dari dalam perut mommy dulu Emir dah biasa mkn pedas2 ye.
Tapi time tu aku tak minum ais lagi la sebab takut baby kembung.
Yang air kelapa tu org ckp takleh minum tapi before ni aku tatau, so telah minum.

tapi btul ke takleh minum yeh?
sbb ptg ni bercadang nak gi Rambah nak beli air kelapa tu lagi.

And sekarang dah 50++ hari baru minum ais skit sebab aritu gi JJ nampak Starbuck yg sedap tu maka telah beli.

tetiba teringat kat encik hubby yg suka gile ngan ice blended Starbuck tuh.
tetiba rindu.
aaaa.... T_T

Part 1 - Delivery of Emir Danish

ok, I'm writing again.
sebab kalau tunggu lebih lama lagi mungkin akan terus hilang ingatan tentang kisah bersalin.

'hoh, mana ada orang lain yg lupa camne sakit bersalin mcm aku ni weh?

Sebenarnya datang semangat mau menulis lepas baca entry Hannah Johary dan Azie. Kalau takde yang memberi semangat, memang sampai ke sudah aku tangguh je nak bercerita tentang kisah yang ini.

Macam kisah wedding aku aritu la.
kan sampai sekarang, sampai aku dah terberanak ni pun tak abih lagi cerita =p

So, to begin with, aku adalah bersalin di Hospital Penawar under Dr Suhaimi bertemankan encik Hubby yang setia menanti dari awal hingga ke akhir.
'oh my, i love yuh soooo much hubby! ok, tetiba rindu T_T

Mula-mula dulu memang bercadang mau bersalin di HSI sajer.
Tapi sebab banyak cerita yang tak berapa enak sampai ke telinga, maka telah meletak 3 hospital sahaja dalam shortlist kami ---> Puteri Specialist, Penawar Hospital and Kluang Specialist.

By the way, EDD sepatutnya between 14th - 16th February.
Bila dah bulan ke-8, we went for weekly checkup at Penawar Hospital sebab itu yang paling dekat dengan rumah and opis. Maklumla, kat opis tu kalau nak amik timeoff max pun 2hrs je.

And during checkup on week 36, the doctor advised us to go for early delivery that's on 2/2/2011 (week 38)...

Sebabnya, time tu baby tgh dok melintang lagi and the doctor said, kita tengok 2 weeks lagi and if kepala baby dapat turun bawah, then kita induce. If dlm week 38 tu dia turun bawah, tak payah nak tunggu EDD sebab takut dia dok berpusing jadi melintang balik. Lagipun aku ada fibroid and that thing duduk kat bwh so takut if baby besar, tak lepas nak keluar normal. And time Dr Suhaimi scan, nampak tali pusat dia berlilit kat bawah and if keadaan ni berterusan, mmg totally takleh bersalin normal and have to go for c-sect. But as the doctor said, tengok lagi 2 weeks mcm mana... Aku ok jek sebab tarikh yang best.

'hoho bole gitu?
mcm takde perasaan je pompuan ni kan sebab dok pikir pasal benda best je.

But to tell u the truth, aku memang takde perasaan takut, saspen ke hape. rasa macam delivery tu adalah sesuatu yang biasa. And like i said before, maybe sebab aku pernah masuk hospital sebelum ni so perasaan takut tu lansung takde.

Anyway, lepas balik dari checkup tu kitorang mcm tak berapa puas hati so mcm nak try refer kat doktor lain. So terus la ke Kluang to see Dr Luqman Hakim...

He's a very nice doctor.
nice and handsome.
hehe.

Anyway, he has different view from Dr Suhaimi.
Time scan nampak tali pusat berlilit 2x kat leher.
Terkejut weh!
Macam the umbilical cord tu ada kat memanalah.
And he said, baby melintang takleh pusing ke bawah sbb tali pusat tu la.
But apa2 pun memang kena tunggu time delivery nanti baru boleh decide.
And dia suruh try normal dulu if tak boleh baru la go for c-sect.

ceh.
takde maknanya la aku nak rasa dedua jenis sakit tu kan so aku rasa better c-sect terus. tapi dia macam lebih encourage to go for normal delivery first.

And tetiba aku teringat pantang orang dulu2 pasal sotong.
'kan orang ckp, kalo preknen ni jangan makan sotong and pegaga kononnya nanti tali pusat berlilit camtu la. Tapinya aku telah makan dedua benda tu ngan dasat sebab tu memang my fav food and aku pulak jenis yg tak brape nak percaya pantang2 mcm ni.
hehe.
tapi aku tak ckp kat Hubby la kang dia bicing lak.

But we're quite worried dgn umbilical cord problem tu.
Takut plak kalau aku byk bergerak dia makin berlilit so telah jln secara slow2 padahal takde kaitan pun. Tapi dokter tu mcm rilek je. Dia cakap mcm benda ni something yg normal je and nothing to worry about.
~hoh, sgt confident.

Then dlm 28/1 tu patutnya kena jumpa Dr Suhaimi lagi for usual checkup.
tup tup, dlm 26-27/1 tu tetiba aku rasa kaki adalah super bengkak yg lain macam.
rasa macam tak berapa boleh nak jln elok2.

Then balik keja kami terus ke klinik dekat dengan umah tu.
The doc said better aku refer terus kat my gynae sbb aku pun ckp kat dia mcm banyak plak air keluar kat bawah tu.
macam agak suspicious.
takut air ketuban jek.

Then aku cakap kat hubby, besok je la pegi sbb mcm ok je lagik.
takde sakit apapun.
Tapi dokter tu mcm suh pegi hospital mlm tu jugak sbb kat situ takde equipment utk cek overall. Hubby plak takyah cakap la... kalau dokter tak suh pegi pun memang dia kompem akan angkut aku gi spital mlm tu jugak. Dia plak yg terover saspen drp aku. Aku cakap kat dia, better balik rumah mandi, siap2 dulu baru gi spital sbb kang kalau betul terberanak mlm ni at least dah ready semua, tak payah nak patah balik rumah dah.

And since rumah kitorang kat area tu jugak, so telah balik la ke rumah utk amik hospital bag and everything.

ye, aku memang tak letak hospital bag tu dlm kete lagi sebab tak sempat ngemas.
haha. gile tak prepare.

then dah siap mandi, bersolek sume baru la kami ke hospital...

and the story shall be continued later ye.
sebab tu la aku tak sempat nak tepek cerita bersalin ni awal2 dulu sebab aku lebih suka cerita2 sebegini dibuat secara detail. entah bape part la baru setel ni kang padahalnya kalo nak ikutkan takde saspen mana pun.

okeh, to be continued...

the day he went away...

Arini adalah super sedeh sebab Hubby balik for one day and went again for another one whole month.

yes, ONE WHOLE MONTH!
the longest since we knew each other T_____________T

of cos pada mulanya lansung tak rasa apa sebab si dia masih di depan mata.
borak2 itu ini and petang tadi ngantar ke airport, on the way tu tiba2 bole plak aku tersebak dan terus ternangih.

meleleh mencurah2 air mata ni weh.
dah la kawan dia ada sekali tuh.
nasib baik aku dok kat seat belakang ngan si kecik nih so bole cover2 skit.
haha.
...

ooo hubby... how am i gonna live without yu for one whole month nihhhh???
T_T T_T

kerana tiba2 baru perasan bahawa saya adalah perempuan yang sangat-sangat bergantung pada suami utk melakukan semuanya... sejak bertunang hingga kini, boleh dikira dengan jari berapa kali saya jadi tukang bukak pintu rumah dan pagar. maka tiba2 telah jadi sangat takut kini. he's always there to do almost everything for me... dan mungkin sebab itu, when he's not around, everything messed up. serasa macam hilang sebelah kaki dan tangan saya T_T

dan mood utk balik bekerja mmg lansung takde.
keja? ooo menatang apekah itu?
huuu~
...

sedehnya la kena drive sendiri...
sedehnya kena ngantar Emir ke babysitter for the 1st time sendiri...
sedeh + takutnya kena bukak gate, dok umah, makan sorang2 nih...
sedehnya kena buat keja2 rumah sendiri...
sedehnya kena tido sendiri...
aaaaa!!!

thank God ada si kecil Emir Danish peneman mommy.
kalau tak, harus aku berenti keja 24hrs nih pastu dok terperap dalam rumah.
ahaks.

Begini rupanya perasaan laki-bini yg dok jauh2 ye...
Ada opismate aku tu, laki dia based kat offshore Turkmenistan.
dah la offshore tu mmg takde line henpon.
internet pun putus2.
duit banyak tapi sangat kesian.
3 bln sekali baru balik M'sia.
tu pun kalau dapat la.
gile ah ding dong!
how can she survive dgn hidup yg macam tu kan...
and my sis pun selalu kena pegi offshore. her husband pulak pegi on daily basis.
maybe awal2 dulu susah kot tapi ni dah lama2 dah lali gaknya.
tapi aku rasa lama mcm mana pun aku tetap akan rasa susah.
tak mungkin la akan jadi lali.

oh, tetiba bersyukur laki aku cuma pegi on-off sajer.
hopefully pasni takyah la pegi lagi ye hubby...
sebab walaupun dah pegi banyak kali ni tapi perasaannya masih sangat-sangat-sangat susah, takut dan sedeh + rindu melampau bila hubby takde... T_T

cepatla balik

papa oo papa cepatla balik
mama ngan Emir menat la dok umah je nih
'eh, snanye mama dah bwk pegi JJ, Giant, Tesco, pjabat pos, bank, Tbg Haji, etc2 pun. hehe.

Tapi, takde orang nak nolong buangkan sampah ni papa
mop lantai, vacuum rumah...
ooo papa cepatla balikkkk!!!
T_T

adoi ai.
Hubby telah ke offshore lagi dan tinggal berdua ngan encik baby yg baru lepas hari adalah super unspeakable!

Nak makan susah, mandi susah, buat kerja susah, nak ke sana kumari pun susah.
'oh oh jangan cakap susah ya tapi adalah sedikit rumit.

tiap kali rasa mau mengeluh pun selalu ngingatkan diri sendiri betapa ramai orang kat luar sana yg sangat2 susah dapat anak, and how comel and veriii adorable my baby is, so terus jadi hepi balik, gelak2 cium2 gomol pipi si anak yang bam2 sampai dia nangih and cik puan mommy pun tak jadi mengeluh. haha.

And hubby said bln 5 ni nak gi jalan.
lepas dia setel project yang itu la.
so ke mana yang sesuai utk baby berumur 4 bulan ya?
Pulau/pantai adalah sangat best tapi macam tak berapa suitable sebab dia sangat kecik lagi. Nanti dah besar tak ingatpun penah pegi pulau yg ini.

Nak naik flight berjalan2 pun mcm, eh, lecehnya.
naik kereta jelah ya sayang.
Paling senang adalah ke Mlk.
tempat feveret mommy sepanjang zaman.
haha.
...

ooo papa ooooooo cepatla balik
mama + Emir adalah super duper rindu ngan papa nihhh T____T

'komen2 di entry2 lalu akan direply soon. insya allah...

Baby Stuff : Baby Monitor

I'm thinking of buying this thing.
Baby monitor.
Sebabnya, sangat kelam kabut la kalau buat keja kat dapur tu and at the same time berlari-larian mau jenguk si anak kat bilik setiap minit takut dia terjaga.

'hoh, tak tenang oke aku nak nak mandi manda lama skit ngan anak kecik yang tak berjaga kat luar tu.

Dan kini, encik baby adalah sangat kuat menerajang.
So, adalah paling takut kalau selimut kat badan tu naik tutup kepala macam yang selalu dia buat tu.

Takpun kalau dia menangih ngan dasat sampai muntah2 gitu.

Dia dah la tengah nak meniarap je ni.
So kan kalau sorang2 akan menangih and berusaha bergolek2 sampai tertiarap sendiri.
Ngan selimut yang banyak di keliling, maka aktiviti meniarap secara solo adalah agak menakutkan.

So, baby monitor tu macam sangat penting.
Lebih2 lagi hubby tengah quite busy ngan his offshore works so harus la kami anak-beranak selalu ditinggal-tinggalkan di sini ye.

tiba2 kena belajar berdikari sendiri T_T
'ahhh sedeh, sedehhh...

Tapi bak kata my ex-housemate (husben dia pun slalu kena pegi offshore) : lebih baik dia pegi tengah laut nuu sbb kat sana takde pompuan. duit pun dapat banyak. kalo kena outstation kat daratan ni kan lebih horror sbb pompuan keliling pinggang.

hehe.

Tapi time tengah cuti berpantang ni takpe lagi.
Nanti kalau dah naik keja harus la kurus kering aku nguruskan semuanya sendiri.

Tapi tatau pun mau beli yang mana.
Kalau tak silap, my sis guna Little Bean tu kot and dia cakap ok.
Philips Avent nampak macam sangat tasty tapi agak mahal juger.
Tapi memang sangat kemas la dan cantekkk!!

yang aku guna...

37 hari suda... dan kisah delivery pun belum ditulis lagi.
macam dah tak berapa nak ingat pun ader.
ahaks.

Tapi hari ini pun bukan mau bercerita tentang yang itu.
Tapi kisah lain.
Tentang beberapa barang yang aku guna.
barang baby dan barang mommy.
Sebab ramai yang suda bertanya.
And aku memang akan menulis jugak, simpan buat peringatan di masa2 depan... kot ada rezeki bole guna time adik2 Emir nanti =p.

So first thing first is the baby diapers.
I've used Pet Pet, Drypers and Huggies and antara ketiga-tiga tu, sgt berpuas hatilah dgn Huggies.

Before bersalin dulu, pegi Baby Fair and ada promo utk Pet Pet, and at that time kitorg memang lansung tatau diapers mana paling bagus, so tengok orang lain beli yang itu so kitorg pun ikut main beli je la.

Then baru terpikir nak msg my sis, tanya mana brand yang paling best.
And she said Huggies.
So nasib baik la beli 2 pack je.
1 pack of NB and another one is S size.
Since aku ngan Hubby memang tak penah nak amik tau hal2 diapers ni so kitorg memang tatau berapa pack yg sepatutnya kena beli utk baby dlm pantang.
And setakat hari ini, hari yg ke-37, baby has used 1 pack of NB and 3 pack of S size.

Mamy Poko pun ok jugak cuma quite expensive la.
Lagipun baby baru lahir sgt la byk berak and kencing so pada aku, pilihan terbaik memang Huggies sebab dia adalah murahan, tak leaking and tahan lama compared to the other brand. Baby pun tak kena ruam.

Pet Pet adalah sgt mudah leaking.
Dulu time guna tu, kalau tukar diapers Emir mmg kena siap2 tukar baju ngan seluar dia sekali. Drypers pun kdg2 leaking gak but still better than Pet Pet la.

ok, next one is jamu.
As per this entry, I used Nona Roguy (NR) time berpantang.
And tatau la kot orang lain but it does works for me.
Maksud aku bukan dari segi kekurusan sebab aku belum kurus pun lagi.
Tapi ia membuat badan aku rasa lebih segar dan sihat.
uiii... ko ingat senang ke nak maintain segar and sihat kalo kena berjaga mlm berhari2 ni weh??

Dan harga dia tak mahal mana pun.
If u buy 1 set tu dlm RM290 je tapi aku tak beli full set la sebab ada benda yang aku nak beli lebih and ada benda yg aku tanak guna mcm lulur tu.
Tapi yang paling best adalah Minyak Herbanika, Minyak Berubat Herba and pil Phytonatal dia.

Aku siap beli 2 botol besar ha.
Mak bidan tu pun guna minyak tu utk urut aku and most probably sbb tu la lepas 6 hari berurut, berat badan aku turun dgn sgt2 byk which is about 14 kg. Maybe water and air retention kat badan aku ni dapat berjalan lancar la tu kot.

Phytonatal tu pulak aku baru start makan 4 hari lepas sebab kalau makan awal2 takut perut baby tak tahan or maybe akan kena jaundice yg teruk so lepas 30 hari bersalin baru aku mula mkn.

And memang best la sebab before this aku ingatkan darah nifas tu dah abih kuar and tinggal saki baki je so aku pun start pakai pantyliner la tapi dlm hati heran jugak kenapa darah beku macam tak keluar sgt.

Then bila start makan pil tu, esoknya baru darah nifas tu keluar banyak. Berketul-ketul plak tu. And perut memang rasa lega sangat. Itupun aku cuma mkn 2 biji sehari sebab aku BF Danish so takut dia tak tahan pulak kan...

Aku malas nak komen banyak2 pasal brand ni sebab kat blog lain mmg dah cukup banyak review dia. My sis and my mom adalah pengguna NR jugak and diorang kekal sihat and cergas sampai skarang.

And this is my adik yang slalu kena pegi offshore berhari2 tu ngan her hubby wif little Syaura yg veri comel ^_^

Apa yang aku bole simpulkan adalah, NR is totally best!
hehe terpromote jap.

And as for the lulur/scrub, aku guna lulur Putri Binari perisa jamu.
Lulur ni je la yang sesuai dengan kulit aku and bau dia ok.
Kalau NR punya lulur tu aku tak tahan sgt bau dia.

And the 3rd item is tungku moden bermagnet.
ye, walaupun aku berbengkung cuma beberapa hari tapi aku adalah bertungku dengan taat sekali.

Sangat best oke aktiviti bertungku ni especially waktu lepas mandi.
Aku bertungku 2 kali sehari, pagi + malam.
And memang berbaloi la aku beli tungku moden ni kan sebab sangat2 mudah nak guna and tahan lama. Harga dia pun tak mahal mana. Kalau korang rajin survey online mesti dpt je harga yg murah.

And the last item yg aku nak review is the baby's soap.
I used Sebamed Liquid Cleanser for Danish.

Before bersalin aritu memang dah beli Johnson's Baby Top-To-Toe Wash tu tapi bila guna kat Danish kulit dia mcm merah2 and keluar ruam.
Nasib baik la aku beli botol kecik je.
Tapi banyak plak tu Emir dpt hadiah baby hamper yang isi pelbagai jenis bath set.
Nanti bila dah besar skit dalam 7, 8 bln kang baru boleh guna yang lain kot.
Mak bidan ngan nurse kat KK tu pun sibuk la suh guna yg ni sebab it's the only brand yg sesuai utk newborn so aku pun ngikutkan je la. Tapi syampu aku tak beli la sebab tatau lagi nak botakkan ke tak kepala Danish nih.

Semalam Hubby balik sini and kitorg pegi Guardian beli brg keperluan skit and suddenly nampak Sebamed Liquid Wash ni RM59.90 for 1000ml and dpt free 200ml + Baby Lotion + Children Shampoo. Sangat berbaloi so telah beli on d spot sbb slalunya yg 200ml tu pun harga dia dah RM19.90.

wuhuhu~ mommy punya sabun pun harga doploh inggit je ni nak oi...

Tapi tu la orang cakap, kerana anak apapun sanggup, kan.
^_^

And after 36 days of confinement, baru la jejakkan kaki kat kedai ha.
So aku pun ngangkut segala jenis coklat kat Guardian tu.
Sangat best oke perasaan ittew!
haha.
tapi memang kagum la kat diri sendiri sebab for the first time in life aku tak gi soping selama 36 hari T_T

1 month old!

My little angel is one month old, 4.1 kg today.
hepi beday dear...

dah kena jab pun.
Hepatitis B 2nd dose.

Tadi timbang kat KK, berat aku telah menjadi 54.6 kg.
gile terkejut okeh.
adekah berat telah turun sebanyak 20 kg selama 30 hari?
So with this, mommy pun mendeclarekan diri bebas dari berpantang... yey!
Walopon berpantang sbenarnya adalah 44 hari tapi aku tatau apa yg nak dipantangkan lagi.
*hoh macam la selama ni ko berpantang sgt yer*

Dan operasi berbengkung yg dulu sangat la berkobar2 pun telah tidak berjaya...
walau setiap hari cakap pada diri sendiri besok berazam mau berbengkung tapi hakikatnya cuma 6 hari sajer berjaya melilit di perut dan pinggang T_T
sangat takde masa okeh!
Emir Danish ngambil semua masa yang ada.
*uk, alasan*

Time dia tidur, mommy yang letih longlai ni pun ikut menidurkan diri.
takpun mengonlinekan diri macam sekarang nih.
takpun sibuk2 membuat design kat Photoshop tu.
hoh hoh!

And lansung tak sempat mengepam juger.
awal2 dulu sempat la sebab cik baby tidur di siang hari.
tapi sekarang nan ado okeh.
dan stok pun telah abih diguna semuanya.
cik Emir Danish adalah mengempeng ngan mommy 24 hrs a day.
*mengempeng = melekat*

Malam tadi straight dari pukul 12 sampai 5 pg dia dok nenen je.
bukan minum susu sgt pun cuma dia nak benda tu ada kat mulut dia.
kebas + sengal2 dah tgn aku.
bila aku lepas je dia nangih.
camne aku nak tidur weh??
...

I don't know why tapi sejak elok dari jaundice aritu, memang dia adalah minum susu + melalak ngan dasat. celik mata je melalak mau susu. and sejam lebih plak tu menyusu. macam dukung 4 kilo beras kat tgn selama sejam. berehat beberapa minit and dia nak susu balik. huuu... kesabaran je la... mmg keras kejung dah tgn aku. 'mcm mana la nak ada masa mengepam utk simpan stok nih?

Emir Danish dalam ring sling from JumpSacBaby given by my sis.
Kena gigit nyamuk kat dahi sebab mommy tak serkup ngan kelambu sebab mommy telah ikut tertidur time dia mengempeng tu.

That ring sling adalah veri cantek and convenient.
Time tidur dia sangat selesa dok kat dalam tu tapi time jaga jangan harap la.
Dia lebih suka cik mommy mendukung guna tulang 4 kerat nih T_T
...

So, nex week berazam mau beli sebijik thermometer.
Sebijik lagi bantal.
Nasal aspirator.
Satu lagi changing mat.
Satu set mattress lagi utk letak kat rumah babysitter.
'ke tak payah eh?
and sebijik laserjet printer sempena PC Expo.
*tetibe*

and this book helps a lot during my confinement period.
so kalau ada sesapa yang rajin membaca, u got to have dis book okeh.
sangat membantu ^_^
tapi kalau ko bukan ulat buku, tak payah la beli. membazir je.
review tentang buku adalah dlm next2 entry. hehe.
