Back to work...

How time flies..
Hm..start working today, leave home as early as 6.30am sending my baby to his atoQ's place.. Thanks to mak & ayah for babysitting adamrayyan.. Finally has made up my mind yesterday. Instead of bringing rayyan stay in Lendu..Mamy choose to commute alone LENDU-MUAR daily.. (his name is Mu.A.R, so he has the right to stay in MUAR, not LENDU) ;P

Another 8days, it will be my 1-year service in this campus..
BUT.. One problem in my workplace is I still haven't get my permanent own room..
Very inconvenient.. Luckily still renting a house in Lendu..
But, still hoping will get a room soonest possible..

not 2, not 3

Not 2, not 3, but it is always more than the numbers..
Sometimes good, sometimes bad,
But no matter what..will still feel glad ;)

.....though we know it's wrong

When anger rises, we tend to do something that is wrong~

20 Things That Change When You Have A Baby

I like this article ;D (source: babycenter.com)

Everyone warns you that having a baby will change your life. Sure, you'll have less money (and sleep), and a lot more responsibility. But when the centre of your universe shifts to your new baby, there's much to celebrate too:

• You discover an inner strength you never realised you had.
• You accept that the last 15 pregnancy pounds you can't seem to shift are absolutely worth it.
• You don't need a clock any more - your baby now sets your daily schedule.
• You respect and love your own parents in a new way.
• Any pain your baby suffers feels much worse than your own.
• You don't mind going to bed at 9pm on a Friday night.
• Your heart breaks much more easily.
• You discover how much there is to say about one little baby tooth.
• You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
• You're no longer disgusted by babies' bodily functions - in fact, you're fascinated by them (hooray, a poo!)
• The sacrifices you thought you'd made to have a baby no longer seem that big a deal.
• You respect your body ... finally.
• You realise that a baby's comforter has magical powers!
• You give parents with a screaming baby an "I-know-the-feeling" look, instead of a "Can't-they-shut-him-up?" one.
• You make time for one more baby hug and kiss, even if it means you'll be late.
• You realise that it's possible to love a complete stranger.
• You learn that taking a shower is a luxury, never mind a trip to the hairdresser's.
• You finally get to speak to the shy neighbour in your street, because you've got a baby in your arms.
• You find that things that once seemed important are now meaningless.
• Every day is a surprise.

The Journey Begins

"Always, mamy is the one who manage to calm the baby when he cries.." :)

My journey finally begins when my mum went to Sabah. Syukur, I managed to look after my lil' hero. Even though I've to spend most of my time with my baby, it's fine with me, because this is my opportunity to be with him 24/7 before I get back to work next month.

Oh ya forgot one thing! Finally today I'm able to post this entry because......my mum's back! yeah!! ehehe ;p

Cabbage leaves relieve engorgement

For this entry, I'd like to share my experience of using cabbage leaves to relieve engorgement. Thanks to my friend, Nisa, for giving me this tips. Engorgement is a swelling of the breasts, and yes, it's really make woman suffer, especially first-time mother. I'm glad that I experienced it for 1-day only, that's already suffer enough for me (I hope it won't come again!).

Let's read this article for more details on how cabbage leaves relieve engorgement :)

1st delivery experience - Cesarean

Dady azankan our baby :)

1st Oct 2010, a special day for mamy and dady. That morning mamy woke up at 4am, and actually that night no one could sleep well. After shower n dressed up, around 5.10am, kakak arrived at my house, then we're heading to Tey Maternity, by 2 cars, mum with kakak, and mamy with dady. I need to check-in at 5.30am, as the operation would start at 6.30am.

Once arrived, there's one midwife I think, (named Bedah) asked me to pass my handphone, wallet, everything to husband. Then she brought me in and get me prepared for the operation. She seemed like in hurry in getting me ready. Maybe she didn't want me to be late for the operation. She started to clear the area to be operated, to remove all hair in the tummy area. Then, she did insert something and ask me to go to toilet to get all 'waste' out. After that, they get me dress in operation wear, and, insert the urine tube. Huhh..All these never came into my mind before. Luckily no pain yet, so far. By 6am, I'm ready for the operation, and I could hear the nurse called and remind all the doctors about the operation time. On that moment, I've already started to feel uneasy, something ridiculous came into my mind, "I don't want to conceive in the nearest time after this.."(LOL ;p) Now I know waiting outside is much better, compare to become someone to be waited by everyone outside. But, the baby is in my womb, so no choice I'm the one who need to be inside here.

Gosh! The chubby me! With mum and my dadysyg :)

After 5 minutes, they pushed me to the Operation Room (OR). On the way to the OR, mum, kakak and dady accompany me along the corridor and motivate me to be strong. And finally I was in the OR. The air-cond in the OR is freaking cold, man!

6.40am, operation started. I was given spinal anesthesia. Then, one doctor came and asked me in mandarin, “Do you feel numb?” But I didn't reply cause I only speak mandarin with Dr. Tey. Then that doctor asked me in Malay. Lol! I didn't realize that doctor is Dr. Tey! Haha..I didn't recognize him coz he's wearing the operation mask! After few minutes, I still awake but feel numb from the chest to the legs. So, I've no idea whether they have started their job or not. After 10 minutes operation, my beloved husband, dady walked in and sit next to me. I thought the nurses forgot to call him. But, they didn't forget. Dady hold my hand, my forehead and accompany me till the operation end. Thanks dadysyg. Suddenly, I've heard baby crying..just couldn't believe it. Then, the midwife show us our baby. Yes, he's a boy - Muhammad Adam Rayyan. While, the doctor continued his job closing the incision.

*His name abbreviation MuAR ;)

Mu - Muhammad

A - Adam

R - Rayyan

I'm glad I didn't feel the pain during the procedure, coz I didn't think I'm strong enough to feel the pain. But, I know after the operation I've another challenging phase, the process of healing.

After the operation completed, I was sent to ward, Room 1st class 1. I've to stay 3days 2nights, and dady accompanied me every night. Thanks again dady. The 1st day, I'm not allowed to use pillow, and I only could start to have my meal after I've fart. The second day, I was allowed to use pillow and also eat. Syukur. But still using urine tube coz doctor didn't allow me to stand up yet. Finally the third day, around 7am, nurses taught me to stand up slowly. Syukur. I'm able to stand and walk. But, I was advised to lay down with only 1 pillow for 1 week after discharged.

Incubated for 1 week :(

My baby, I didnt get the chance to hug, hold, breastfeed (bf) him directly for 1 week (and that was the 1st time I use breastpump) coz he's incubated for 1 week due to breathing problem..Now Alhamdulillah, he's fine ;)

For The Rest Of My Life

Dady dedicated this song to me yesterday :D
Loving it dadysyg..mmuahh!

Inshallah

Song that get you going when you want to quit...thanks to dady :)

My 1st entry after becoming Rayyan's Mamy :)

This is my 1st entry after becoming my baby's Mamy ;) I was thinking to update my blog after my confinement period, but I just can't stand the boredom.

Today is the 16th-day, I've started to feel bored and can't wait to end my 44days of confinement!! Even though I know once I go back to my house, I've to do everything on my own, but, I think that's what I suppose to do, yes, I have to get myself to do it. I just don't want to hurt my parents more :( especially when I am emotionally unstable.

Today after lunch dady had introduce and dedicate Maher Zain's songs - For The Rest of My Life, and, InshaAllah, to me. I like those songs. Peaceful melody, to be heard when I feel tense or stressful. Thanks dadysyg!

Tomorrow is the day..

Our bags are ready! RED - Dady's favorite color :)

Tomorrow is the day! I've double checked my stuff just to ensure everything is ready. Everything was checked last night. Lately, it's hard for me to sleep. The feel is like don't want to sleep, maybe because of feeling of waiting. But I really hope tonight I'll be able to sleep well as tomorrow I've to wake up as early as 4am, and we need to be at Tey Maternity latest by 5.30am.

Now is 11am, I've another 12hours to eat, eat, and eat, means till 11pm only, then I've to start fasting to get myself prepare for the operation early next morning. My sister with her kids, Farah Camelia and Alif Yusry, will be here in the evening. She'll be on leave tomorrow just to give me moral support. Same goes to my mum, ayah and in-laws, they plan to be at Tey Maternity during my operation. Thanks everyone :) Huh..I've started feel nervous. Just hope everything goes well tomorrow..

Final Check-up

Today is my final check up, and it's really testing my patience because I've to wait for my turn for almost 3 hours! huh..luckily dady accompanied me just now :) so I don't have to really wait at Tey Maternity! What we did? We went to Wetex Parade bought some stuff, went to Tanjung Emas, but still haven't my turn yet! So, we've decided to go to Wetex Parade again to have our lunch @McD. The last hour, no choice, back to Tey Maternity and wait! Luckily this is my final check up...huh!

Result of the check up: Due to some reason, we've confirmed with the doctor to proceed with the operation on the Oct 1, same birth date with my ayah. So baby, see you this friday :D hope everything goes well..amin. Don't know how to describe my feeling, but one thing for sure, I feel kind of release because the long awaited day has finally come.

Week-41 post, with my m&m

Last friday --> I really don't like to see people sick, especially our loved one, it's really stressful because we're not really able to do anything, and it really tests our patience :(

This pix taken on last friday. But Alhamdulillah now dady has recovered from fever :)

So today is the beginning of week-41 and I'm still here in front of my lappy writing my post with my favorite m&m.

Dady bought the m&m without being asked last night hihi

No idea what to do today..But just now called mum, she said ayah already set up the baby cot at Putera Bakri. Hm good also, giving me idea to send some baby's stuff there, to be used during my confinement stay later.

Nyummy! Fish Head Curry :)

I've been busy last two days till no time and energy to update my blog --> busy with fun activities :P

So continue with the fish head curry...mum cook for me on Wednesday! It was so damn delicious! Nyummy! Nyummy!

Thank you so much mum!!

Dady's enjoying his fish head curry hihi..

After having our fish head curry that day, we went for weekly checkup. Doctor said there's still no sign and told us that on next week (week-41) we have to make a decision if baby still haven't come out. That day, we've decided the latest by Oct 1, 2010 will be the d.o.b for our baby. But if suddenly our baby willing to come out earlier than that date, okay for us, too :)

Walkathon in town!

3pm finally able to go to town! Huh..waiting for the part-time maid to finish her job really make me go insane! I'm not prefer to have the part-time maid doing the house chores. Maybe because I feel shy to instruct people do this do that hihi..But, no choice..dady said we need the cleaning service as mamy not fit enough to do all the tasks at the moment. So..no choice..have to get one :(

Guess what..today we purposedly walked from one bank in town to Maxis centre! Walkathon in town :P Dady just can't believe that mamy enjoyed the walkathon haha..just feel like want to walk, walk, and walk..as doctor said it helps in the 'engage' process. Hm..Sometimes really feel that those people who able to feel the pain and deliver normally is so cool, at least they know they are going to deliver the baby when they started to feel the pain. But, sometimes just feel that it's good also for me not to really feel the pain because I don't think I'm strong enough! So...don't think so much! Let it be naturally she-mon! :P

Just now watched TV, saw the hot and spicy fish head curry nyummy! Huh..can't resist..immediately call mum and ask her where can I get the fish head curry in Muar ehe but mum said no need to find..she will cook for me tomorrow! Wow! Thanks mum! Nyummy! Can't wait!

The beginning of week-40..

Monday! It's the beginning of my 40-week of pregnancy. But I think..my baby still don't want to come out yet..most probably next week. So, keep on waiting mamy!

Today, everyone's back to work. And I, stay at home, continue my day with my activities - prepare breakfast for dady, blog, Bejeweled 2, watch tv, follow dady to town, recite Surah Maryam, Surah Yusof, and etc etc..

Later at 3pm supposedly I've urut's appointment. But this morning I've told mum that I don't want to do so. Mum's very disappointed with me..but I'm not really into it, don't feel comfortable to proceed with the urut session. Forgive me mum.. :(

Baby..It's week-39

Finally reach my full 39th week! But my baby is still so comfortable staying in my womb and haven't give any signal to come out yet..maybe the more eager family members waiting for him, the more he choose to relax inside :p For mamy, doesn't matter as long you are in a good health okay my dear! err..but sometimes mamy feels eager, too! Maybe my baby want to stay till week-41 just like his mamy last time.

Today everyone's going home, back to kL, seremban..end of Raya leave. But for me, everything seems like only about to start..counting days :)

Dady has been feeling not well this few days..pity him..just recovered from fever, now getting sore throat..hope he'll get well soon! Dady said that's the sign to get a newborn baby soon hihi..
