He Is Ra'id Ahmad Part 2

Whoaaaa...

Been busy! Pumping and all... Lost count of current stock. Most probably 150oz ++.

Ahmad is diagnosed with G6PD intermediate. So a day after he was born, I went home, alone as he had to stay at the NICU for observation. His bilirubin was 106 at birth but it shot up to 230. Needed phototherapy to lower down the bilirubin count. Imagine how bad I felt that day. I cried and cried like nobody's business. Couldn't even eat. Losing 400ml of blood didn't do good on me. Barely walking. Almost passed out at the doorstep after walking for 10 metres - from the car.

I did ask my best friend for her EBM as I couldn't pump out my colostrum. It wasn't enough and to my despise, they gave formula to Ahmad without telling me. After I asked then the nurse told me.

The next day the NICU called and we were to be sent to the Low Risk Birth Centre in Precinct 8. Finally I got roomed-in with Ahmad for 7 days. Yeah, it stressed me out actually. So on Monday we went home with bilirubin count 220. Had to go for blood check every 2 days. On 20th day, the reading was 151 and the doc said no need to come as the reading trend is on the lower part.

I had no constipation so far. Alhamdulillah. Ate oranges and drank prune juice work wonders. The sutures are less painful too. Didn't go for postnatal check up and MGTT yet. Will do soon.

Ahmad is 50 days old today. Alhamdulillah. 5.7kg. Hehehe...

He Is Ra'id Ahmad. Part 1

Salam. Whoah.

Pejam celik dah sebulan. Yes. I gave birth to Ahmad on 11 March 2014. I am so sorry for those whom I owe the submission. It was unplanned. Will try to get back to you guys soon ok?

The story goes like this.

I went to work as usual on Monday. Even attented meeting. Braxton Hicks were painful pun I told myself since there's no bloody show or leaking like previous pregnancy I would go to the office the next day.

Nay.

That Tuesday morning I felt painful 'Braxton Hicks' and decided to go to the office later. Bu then I had bloody show. Lucky I didn't give birth the night before - husband dearest went for badminton game and left me with Amna at home.

So, calmly I got out of the toilet and told my husband that we're going to the hospital instead of going to the office. I even told him casually:

"Kita pergi breakfast dulu baru pergi hospital ye. Saya kemas barang jap."

That was 8.30am. So he sent Amna to the nursery and we went for breakfast. I brought along my HypnoBirthing book for final reading and kept practicing the methods in the car.

Around 11.00 am we were done with our breakfast and headed to the hospital. Contractions were bearable. Really. I praised to the Almighty Allah that I managed to handle the pain. Unlike the previous one. It almost made me feel never wanted to have children. Traumatic experience ever.

I was already 4cm dilated. Nak dijadikan cerita, I had guy doctors attended me. Takpelah, darurat wei. HOs 4 orang lelaki on duty that day. But they were so adik-adik. I remember the doctor's name - Hud. Buat VE pun alahaiiii lemahh lembut sampai kena buat 2 kali. I told the doctor I timed my contractions this morning and it lasted 30-40 seconds, twice in 10 minutes. Checked for contractions and they were 3 contractions in 10 minutes' time so doctor said I was in active labour.

The nurse asked if I want to eat before being sent to the LR. I told her ok. I had a bun and some plain water. Around Zuhur they did Artificial Rupturing of Membrane (AROM) and gave me enema to clear my bowel. 2 doctors attended me. Dr Saritha Dewi and Dr Mohd Khairul Anwar. Dr Saritha kind of pushed things to move faster which I regret because it interrupted the hypnobirthing process. I was also asked by the O&G if I was able to have normal birth because the baby was estimated around 3.6kg and he looked big. I remembered that the week before, baby was estimated 2.8kg. How on earth that he managed to gain weight in a week? So in smiles I told him "Yes. I am very sure. I gave birth to a 3.86kg girl in 2012 and this time around I know the baby is smaller."

Satisfied with my answer, I was sent for normal delivery at 2.30pm. With the ECG strapped onto my belly, contractions were regular and it lasted 40 seconds every 4-5 minutes. I did the rosebud imagination and it worked wonders except there were times I wished my husband would stop asking me questions hahaha...

I refused all kinds of medication - pitocin, petadine, epidural etc. I wanted to have a gentle birth.

The book.
Picture taken while in the LR and having contractions.

Around 4.00pm the doctor came and told me that baby's heartbeats were not good and I asked her to wait until 4.30pm. The next thing I knew, both of them came at 4.45pm and prepped me for delivery. I was in shock. Panic woooo tiba-tiba je kan semua. She did something and I could feel my bowel content came out on the spot.

I gave 3 pushes and there you go! A baby in my arms already. Giving birth was not excruciatingly painful for the first time! Owh wait. I bled and dah meraung-raung kena seluk hidup-hidup nak keluarkan part of the membrane left. Sedut jugak entonox tu sebab demmit sakit okehhhh... rasa macam satu hospital boleh dengar raunganku itu. Miahaha.

Fresh from the oven
Birth weight: 4.06kg
Height: 52cm
Head circumference: 35cm

Dah sebulan pun hehe

Alhamdulillah. All is well.

To be continued.

Quick Update

Amna is already 25 months! Nope. Takde gambar. Tak larat nak bergambar dah. Hari-hari tantrums je. Kadang-kadang susah nak decipher apa yang dia nak. Last night's code was "Nak chiiiiiiii~" *insert crying here*. Pening dah. Last-last Encik Rezalman bawak pergi jalan naik kereta while I was just resting like a whale on the bed.

Encik Rezalman was suspected with dengue, and he has to go for daily blood check up. He got MC until today. We went to the emergency department on Sunday and his FBC (Full Blood Count) showed the platelet count was dropping. So he instantly got 2 days of MC. Yesterday he went again for check up and the doctor said he needs more fluid or he had to be IV-dripped. I told him, IV tu tak seronok okeh. Bengkak tangan and all. Still degil nak pergi main badminton. Nasib baik memang tak pergi. Kalau tak saya dah menaga di rumah. 

Me? I'm still working. I don't feel like going to work anymore. Can't even sleep properly at night and I hope Baby A will come out next week (39th week). At this moment all I ever want is a nice big breakfast and a tall cup of less-sweet Milo. Uhuhuhuhuhu~ Perhaps after having the breakfast I'll be ok.

Owh how I wish for a stack of fluffy pancakes drizzled with honey and a blob of melting butter! Owh... kat cafeteria KeTTHA ada jual waffles. Bolehlahhhh dari takde kan. Tunggu Aida je ni. Then nak beli breakkie ibu-ibu mengandung. :P

Tak sabar rasanya nak bersalin. Kawan-kawan semua dah deliver. The scent of a newborn is heavenly okeh. Busuk-busuk masam baru bangun tidur pun macam aaahhhhhhh addictive. Kekekekee...

Ok. Bye.

Lemau

2-3 menjak ni selalu tak sihat. Diikuti dengan diarrhea-like symptoms dan semalam muntah pulakkk... Harini pergi ambik darah sebab hB turun jadi 9.6 uhuk uhukkkk...

Sibuk design Abangah's wedding invitation. And ada tempahan baru masuk. Aiyooo kena siapkan banyak benda sebelum maternity leave ni.

Barang-barang yang perlu dibeli Sabtu ni:

1. Maternity pads
2. Newborn diapers
3. Toiletries
4. More socks

Tu jelah kot. Malam-malam terkelip-kelip mata tak boleh nak tidur. Bertabahlah Niha!

Ugh. Monday Blues.

Couldn't sleep well. The backache. The nausea.

Baby A was restless. Tossing and turning.

My tummy looked like a whirlpool.

Was hungry around 3am.

Had 2 pieces of bread.

Watched Amna acting up on Upin-Ipin series.

Tried adjusting positions but to no avail.

Forced myself to get back to sleep.

Didn't know what time I went back to sleep, only to hear husband's cry upon spilled drink on the bed.

Too tired to help. Dozed off again.

Woke up 6.45am. 

Felt like needed more sleep.

Threw up.

Feeling groggy but still managed to get up and get ready for work.

Husband was furious.

He apparently forgot that he had my phone and let Amna play with it all night long.

I have no idea what to say or do.

Now I feel like sleeping the day through.

Zzzzzzzzz...

The 2-weekly Check Up

Owh hohohohoooo...

Tak sempat nak update on Baby A. Kuikuikuiii... So far I'll put under the tag 'Baby A' sebab the initials for my children would be:

NA - for girls

RA - for boys

Since Amna is the second name, so my children after this would be called by their second name too. Senang kan. Heheheheh... I choose a simple name for Baby A. Hopefully you will be as glorious ats the name (named after a role model woohoo~!!!) and be a true believer.

My weight - tetap di 69.5kg - Tak naik langsung. Penangan berjalan banyak kat China kot? Scan dah tau Baby A's gender. Baby A's weight approximately 1.2kg. Well, nak lebih pasti kena set up appointment for 3D scan. My husband is really excited and I can now shop for the baby! (as if - tengah ikat perut)

Dugaan kali ni banyak. Especially bab duit. Yelah, I'm using my own expenses to pay for the study, and adik-adik mintak duit lagi. Susah hati jugak. But fret not, for Baby A's aqiqah dah simpan siap-siap heheheh~ Tunggu my dad (aka Tokki) balik from China and let him uruskan bab aqiqah tu. Tunggu nak bagi duit saje.

So future expenditure for 2014 dah beratur -_- :

1. Root canal - RM800. Due in January huhu.

2. Nak beli handphone - handphone hilang (lagi - due in Feb)

3. Medela Freestyle - (ada lagi RM1k nak bayar huhu - Due March)

4. Study fees - RM1400. Due in March.

5. Aqiqah - RM2500. Due in March.

6. Car insurance renewal - RM1500. Due in June.

Accumulated expenses: RM9300. So kena postpone shopping nampak gayanya.

Ya Allah, murahkanlah rezeki kami.

Ouch! Sakit Gigi.

Just came back from the dentist - Izara Dental Clinic. My chipped tooth (or actually teeth - 3 of them huhu) has to undergo root canal procedure - which costs me RM800 for the second molar (just because the first molar the the left second molar chipped badly - require extraction, different price applies). A result of 2-year procrastination, I have myself to be blamed entirely. I was supposed to have the root canal and orthodontic whatsoever last 2 years - but the appointment was postponed because I was pregnant with Amna. And according to government dental clinics' procedure, x-rays cannot be performed on pregnant ladies (and my private dentist said they could just perform it with the lead plate actually huhuhuhu)

Imagine 5 days of enduring the toothache! I've had enough of government tooth-filling procedure - took time! I have minor experience with this tooth-filling thingy because I used to have perfect teeth - until the year 2009, I had my first filling ever - done at a private dental clinic in Kajang. Not recommended because sloppy works but hey, it's one of the cheapest :P

I was preparing myself for the root canal procedure and yelping for pain while being injected for local anesthetic (yes, low threshold for pain that I am). Unfortunately after half an hour, my tooth was still throbbing - and the dentist said the nerves are swollen (due to exposed nerves) and since I am pregnant, I was advised to get temporary filling and prescribed with Amoxycilin to reduce the inflammation, and also Paracetamol as painkiller, until the next appointment.

Will have to come for a second visit on the 7th of January. Wuwuwuwuuuu... Nak set appointment with government dentist soon! (can't really afford the thousands of Ringgit being spent of a single tooth).

Moral of the story : please floss regularly to avoid tooth caries, which will soon affect your teeth, causing you to lose them (and your money). And do go to the dentist ASAP if you think your teeth need some checking up.

p/s: dental implants - titanium stud + porcelain tooth costs RM8500 each. Sila menangis sekarang Niha!

Unhappy Thoughts

It is sickening when someone accuses you of being show off.

"Eleh... beli barang-barang masak sebab nak menunjuk depan orang yang dia rajin masak untuk anak la tu."

I choked on my words. 

I was hurt by that statement. Still am. 

I swear that I never thought that being happy and healthy could be misinterpreted by some.

Do you know how I feel as a pregnant mother?

Do you know that my daughter means the world to me?

No. You don't. 

I love having companies. Because I feel human.

Able to have real conversations.

And what do you know about me?

Your thinking-out-loud assumptions made me baffled.

I'd rather keep quite than throwing curses at you.

Because I doubt that you even think before you speak.

Then you said sorry. Unmeant sorries.

p/s: Kalau aku sihat dah lama aku pergi shopping sorang-sorang. Tak payah mintak tolong orang lain angkat barang. Aku bukannya suka sangat pergi shopping. Penat tau tak.

3rd Anniversary!!

Alhamdulillah. Dah 3 tahun. Walaupun rasa macam dah lama je kawin hahaahahaha~

There are ups and downs for sure. Lagi-lagi tengah hormonal ni. Sometimes it takes others to make you realise how precious your spouse is. Yelahhhh tengah marah memang semua tak kena je di mata kita ni, ye tak? Listening to one of my friends' story on her marriage makes me being thankful for having a husband who helps around the house, doing choresa nd takes care of Amna. I am counting my blessings.

Some people are being showered with gifts, fancy restaurant dinners, expensive getaways etc. Memanglah seronok tengok orang tu every year pergi overseas anak-beranak. Rezeki masing-masing. Mak selalu pesan (mak tau her daughter is someone who wants everything according to her way huhu), kalau kita dah terbiasa hidup mewah, jangan paksa suami untuk provide itu ini di luar kemampuan dia. Rasanya mak patut nasihatkan anak-anak lelaki mak jugak supaya berbelanja ikut kemampuan. Rasanya setakat ni takdela nak mintak bukan-bukan except my husband promised me that he will buy me Medela Freestyle muahahahahahaha~

My husband dah sibuk hantar baju-baju Amna yang lama to the laundry shop untuk baby A (owhhh gender tak tau lagi haha). Stroller siap terpasang dalam rumah (macam kelakar pun ada hehe). Since Amna has become nocturnal lately, pukul 3-4 pagi my husband akan bawak keluar mattress to the living room and layan Amna tengok Upin Ipin sampai tertidur. Most of the time Amna akan lapar, mintak nak makan. So ayahnya yang melayan. Ibu sibuk layan mengantuk dan lenguh pinggang heheheheh...

Owh, this morning. Amna tak tidur and I woke up realising that she was trying to feed me with her biscuits! Sempat jugak I wished my husband "Abang, happy third anniversary". Memandangkan tak mengharap apa-apa sambutan (belum gaji hahahha), we'll just have a good time together. Too bad takde camera. Kalau tak, mesti dah snap pictures and post them in Instagram hahahahaha *camwhore mode on*.

I know marriage won't be perfect. Kadang-kadang terasa banyak downs rather than the ups. I am most of the time being selfish, but hey, 3 years of marriage, and I am still learning. Dulu-dulu masa bujang boleh pergi fancy restaurants every weekend with friends but now I have to think about future expenditure - children, house, car, expenses, balik kampung etc. Most of the time I spend more on the food (ok, I never limit my expenses on food).

Terima kasih abang sebab bersabar. Tahun depan anak dua lagi kena banyak bersabar kan kan kannnnnn :P

*sambung buat assignment*

Blood Sugar Profile - Doing It By Yourself

As most of you know, I have GDM. So that requires blood sugar testing every 2 weeks and today is the day. Since BSP is required 4 times a day, I decided to get myself the blood glucose reader. Thanks to my dad, I managed to get one, FOR FREE heheheheheheheheh~

The brand that I'm using is Abbott's Freestyle Optium. Just like the ones used in government clinics and hospitals.

Retail Price : Rm150++

Source : Abbott Diabetes Care
Price at Guardian Pharmacy : RM117

Source : Guardian Malaysia
Price : RM35.90

What's inside the box? A reader, and a pen-like lancing device (the needle you need to puncture your finger tips). If you opt for a cheaper one, perhaps you can get the Freestyle Freedom Lite Starter Kit. It comes with 10 strips + 10 lancets + lancing device.

Source : Guardian Malaysia
Price : RM97.90

Today's readings were ok. This morning I actually forgot that I have BSP so I ate a sugar-free mint and some of Amna's cornflakes. Hohohohoho~ Anyway, here's the reading

8.38 am   : 5.4mmol/l

11.58 am : 2.8mmol/l (I had nasi lemak sambal kerang, low fat milk and plain water. Hmmmm)

3.30 pm   : 4.9mmol/l (I had grilled chicken, mashed potato, coleslaw and warm water.)

8.30 pm   : To be confirmed tonight.

Where can you buy this reader? Guardian Pharmacies, or the shops that you can find in hospitals where they usual sell supplies for patients like syringes, crutches, readers (blood glucosemeter, blood pressure, pregnancy tests etc.) and many more.

Until then :) *munching on Famous Amos cookies haha*

Update : reading akibat makan Famous Amos adalah 8.7mmol/l!!! *pengsan*

Adoi.

Fell down the stairs when I was pregnant with Amna at 5 months. 

And, last Saturday I fell down in front of the faculty at 4 months after the class ended. Only sprained both ankles and had scraped knees. Got MC for today.

Bidan cakap kalau jatuh lagi, kaki lagi senang nak dislocate. Uhuhuhuuu... bukan sengaja. My left feet had been aching the whole week and was thinking to get it massaged. Tapiiiii dah terjatuh dulu, causing the right feet sprained too. Alhamdulillah baby takde pape. My sister was like

"Kau ok ke? Boleh bangun??". All I did was laughing because it felt funny. Yela, sibuk bawak a box of donuts and terjatuh dengan kotak donut tu sekali. Nasib baik jatuh melulut. Dah terkoyak seluar kat lutut. Seluar beli kat ModernMum pulak tu. Haih.

*clumsy mommy*

T____T

Hi. I Am (Sort of) Back.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

It has been a while. Morning sickness was bad, until a month ago I decided to get a massage by the midwife. Alhamdulillah things are getting better now.

Amna's doing fine. Already started using 2-word sentences. 

"Nak Apennnn" - nak tengok Upin Ipin

"Nak mishhh" - nak kismis

"Kokong" - suruh dukung

"Nak seshewwww" - nak susu la tuuu hehe

And many more.

She manages to sleep on her own, without having Ibu as pacifier :P. Nak makan sendiri. Minum sendiri. Dah penat, baring. Tengok Upin Ipin. Siap hafal dialog. "Apahhh~" *scene Opah pakai telekung dalam gelap hehe*

Baby's doing fine. Alhamdulillah. Kicking and moving. I had MGTT last Monday. The repeated session because I threw up after gulping down the orange-flavoured glucose water. Bleargh. Will know the result on 30th October during the monthly check up.

Work's ok. Just ok. Because I kind of feel that my boss couldn't be a man enough. Perhaps it's a trend now that bosses love to put the blame on others. Well, what kind of boss who refuses to see the big boss? Siap mengelak tak nak angkat phone. Padahal duk menyorok bawah meja.

Loaded with assignments. Tak larat smpai tahap considering of giving up. But my mom suruh bertahan. Sekejap je katanya. Level of stress was sometimes unbearable. Perhaps it's hormonal. This coming Saturday ada presentation and quiz. Satu hapa pun tak study lagi. Haiyaaa...

Ok lah. Nak siapkan assignment. Minit mesyuarat dah siap. Tunggu boss semak je ni. Tunggulah berapa lama dia nak peram pulak kali ni.

MC

Got MC for yesterday and back to work today - still feeling groggy. Yesterday I had to break my fast due to non-stop vomiting and nausea. Still, didn't make any difference at all. Better fast all day and vomit :P

K bai.

The Signs

Salam.

I'm not feeling really well these days. Had EL on Monday and yesterday I was hoping the day would end in a brief.

Lucky me for having a husband who helps around the house. Errrr... I mean he's been doing all the house chores, really hehe. Balik je I will curl up on the couch and hoping all the nausea-feeling in the gut go away. Entering 6th week is what I'm really afraid of - those endless days of vomiting and nausea-feeling.

Other than that, Amna has been acting up a bit. Tak larat and I would just offer her milk. Kesian tengok anak macam tak cukup perhatian huhuhuhuhuhuhuh~ *guilty*

2011 - fasting and pregnant (mabuk teruk)
2012 - fasting and nursing
2013 - all of the above (mabuk baru tunjuk bunga-bunga)

Ok. That sums up almost everything. 

Yes. Second one on the way :)

Seminggu Lagi?

And I'm at the office. Instead for doing nothing at home and continuously lamenting the boredom, I decided to be at the office although many of my concern staffs advised me on taking leave early. Well, which one would you rather choose? Be at home and no one else around or be at the office surrounded by people (and easier if there's any emergency) ?

Sleeping pattern is as usual. But the baby has less movements early in the morning but every time I'm about to sleep, she keeps on twisting and turning and kicking. Well, maybe due to yesterday I've been going out almost the whole day, the baby's tired too. But she moved as per working days, where during the morning she moved less and became more active during the afternoon towards evening.

I went to Selayang yesterday because I couldn't twist my wrist. Thinking that it would affect how I handle/carry my baby, I decided to get it fixed. The aunty massaged my wrist and I was like a slaughtered chicken already on the mat. Menggelupur kesakitan okeh. The aunty said many came to her only when they couldn't move the thumb, whereby it's too late and will take some time to actually heal/massage. Well, there I was, after 2 weeks of pain, but I can still move my thumb, except that I couldn't carry heavy things with my left arm.

Feeling a bit better today, but my wrist has not healed fully. I decided to let my left arm rest from doing anything that has to do with straining the muscle. Light housework is still okay :)

Already discussed the baby's name with my father and he seemed ok with the meaning. Yay! Husband macam biasa, excited. But right now both of us agreed on not disclosing the baby's name until she's born heheheh :)

Okeh, sekian sesi merepek. 

Boss takde, kerja dah siap awal seminggu. Handover note pun dah settle last week.

Semangat je kan nak siapkan semua. Heheheheh~

My Furry Purple Boots :D

Asalnya nak buat entry tanpa kata. Tapi bila kat Facebook orang duk sibuk tanya bila due date dan baby girl or boy, terasa agak serabut. Don't get me wrong ye. Rasanya dah banyak kali bagitau kat orang yang sama EDD bila. Saya tak marah kalau orang lain tanya. Tapi orang yang sama duk tanya soalan yang sama membuatkan saya macam nak cakap "Korang ni amnesia ke?". Mungkin saya mengalami symptom nervous menunggu hari wuwuwuwuuu~

Worry not. Takde kena mengena pun dengan korang. Saje lepas geram huhuhu...

Owh before ending this entry, terimalah:

These boots are made for walking heheheeeeee :P

Johnny's Owh Johnny's

*Entry ini sepatutnya posted on 26th Januari ye. Jadi lambat sehari :P*

Semalam sangat tak sihat. Lunch habis terkeluar balik. Nasib baik muntah time dah nak balik. Rasa lega. Dahla diarrhea nak masuk 4 hari. My husband fetched me and we went for dinner. Ingatkan nak makan kat Black Canyon, last-last makan kat Johnny's.

Makan pun slow je... Suap... Suap... Srotttt minum air kelapa... Tiba-tiba rasa pening. Perut rasa tak best. Ah sudah. Tarik nafassssss... Hembusssss... Husband yang duk potpet potpet dari tadi tiba-tiba tenung.

"Sayang ok? Nak makan lagi?".

Geleng. Air liur dah tak tertelan. Asyik keluar. Mata dah melilau cari port sesuai. Yang paling dekat pun sink. Takkan kat situ? Orang lain tengah makan ni. Aiseh.

"Sayang ok tak ni? Kenapa? Rasa nak muntah?"

Tangan bagi isyarat suruh dia berhenti tanya lagi. Kepala ligat carik port. Nampak kelapa yang tinggal isi hampir-hampir boleh perah santan tu. Kat situ ke? Hm. Not bad idea tu. Tarik nafas lagi. With hope that it would minimise the queasy feeling. Tarik naf...

Blurrrrkkkkkk...

Baru je aim kat sink belakang tu. Sekali terbelahak pulak dalam mangkuk sup yang baru seminit sebelum tu saya hirup. So... slow-slow tolak mangkuk tu sambil tunggu husband ambilkan tissue, tarik mangkuk baru kat sebelah, isi dengan steamboat panas-panas like nothing happen. Telinga ni try jugak dengar-dengar takut orang belakang tu stop makan ke, bunyi tergamam ke :P

Husband cakap:

"Yang sayang muntah tu saje dah doplohlima hengget". 

Cet. Ke situ pulak dia. Dia pulak sambung makan sambil potpet potpet pasal saya tamak order. FYI, saya order sikit je. Cuma sayur 2 jenis (takut sembelit hehe). Dan seperti biasa, husband habiskan lauk (dia tak mengaku makan banyak hohoho)

Balik terus melepek atas katil dalam bilik ada aircond (perlu la kannnn haha). Lapar balik tapi takde selera. last-last mintak husband ambilkan cream crackers. Makan cream crackers dengan air limau panas-panas la malam tu heheheh~ :D

The Arrival

Cuti 4 hari yang diberi takdela macam cuti pun. More to spending time lazing around at home.

Owh, 2-3 hari ni jugak saya berasa perut memulas-mulas diikuti diarrhea. Mengikut perkiraan saya, kalau dah tanda-tanda nak bersalin tu biasanya akan ada false contraction (macam senggugut then diarrhea - during my menstrual cycle, lain orang lain symptoms ye), but this time dah 2-3 hari sakit perut. Asal makan je angin, sakit perut memulas ended up to the loo. I also have considered the probability of diarrhea is caused by lactose intolerant. Lately I've been drinking milk like a thirsty cow. Hehehhehe~

My SIL came to our house last Saturday and she did give an advice on how to detect if 'the time has come'. Based on her experience, the amniotic fluid will be gushing out uncontrollably, but make sure the colour is clear with no hint of colour. If it's tinted, wither yellow or green, it shows the baby is in distress and must be referred immediately to the hospital. Well, actually whenever the water broke pun dah kena pegi hospital tapi tak sebahaya tinted amniotic fluid la. Usually the uterus will take time for dilation. Tau jela hospital Putrajaya ni kan over crowded. My friend Syuriza was referred to Hospital Selayang. Duduk Putrajaya kena hantar sampai sana. Tak ke jenuh tu? Wuhuhuh~

Dalam sibuk prepare for the hospital thingy, both of us are preparing for the 'aqeeqah as well. According to sunnah, newborn babies shall be named within 7 days after he/she is born and during that period, 'aqeeqah is also performed too, usually on the 7th day after the baby is born. My father, whom is known for being strict about this, makes us try our best to perform according the sunnah.

Had my body massaged by the midwife last Sunday. It was pure satisfaction! Dia urut tak sakit sangat, slow je, but still could feel the pain, except that I didn't yelp hehe. Got my furry purple in-door booties to be worn during confinement, specially flown from China :D (seriously, they are cute!) and I'm trying to eat dishes that I can't enjoy during confinement too. Owh, reminds me of coconut drink, must get one today :D

Malas

Haih. Lama rasanya tak hapdet. Sesekali jengah blog kawan-kawan sambil komen sikit-sikit. Sekarang tengah pulun siapkan kerja dan handing over note sebab due date dah sangat dekat.

Pengalaman buat BSP kat Hospital Putrajaya baru-baru ni macam agak ngeri. Biasanya BSP kat Klinik Kesihatan kan cucuk hujung jari je. Kat hospital rupanya kena ambik darah pakai syringe (macam nak buat HIV test) dan macam biasa, diulang sebanyak 4 kali! Berlubang dah lengan makcik ni kena ambik darah. Mula-mula jam 8.30 pagi, then 11.30 pagi, 5.30 petang dan last sekali 9.30 malam. Sudahnya rasa lenguh kat lengan kanan sebab lengan kiri veins dia tak berapa timbul. Dari sakit kena godek-godek dengan nurse tu, baiklah tahan sakit sikit kena cucuk banyak kali di lengan yang sama :D

Sesi 5.30 petang dan 9.30 malam tu dibuat di Wad Bersalin sebab kaunter O&G dah tutup pukul 5.00 petang. Jadi bila masuk bilik procedure tu macam ngeri sebab ada a few ladies yang tengah buat ECG. Kuat pulak bunyi heartbeat baby. I also overheard conversation between a guy and the nurse at the counter. Wife dia dah ada tanda nak deliver kot, jadi dia tanya boleh ke daftar wad kat situ. The nurse's reply made me feel "Alamak, nanti nak deliver kat mana ni?". Sebab nurse tu cakap wad bersalin kat HPJ dah penuh, termasuk la wad bersalin kat Hospital Serdang. Bayangkan cadangan nurse tu ialah hantar the guy's wife to HKL. Finally that guy decided bawak balik isteri hantar ke Hospital Seremban.

My husband jenis ramah tamah, jadi dia borak-borak dengan one guy kat waiting area tu. He told my husband that he came there due to unable to detect the baby's movement. Tapi rasanya Alhamdulillah 2 orang perempuan yang duduk dalam bilik procedure tu ECG semua boleh dengar cuma salah seorang tu ada high blood pressure. Debaran duduk wad bersalin macam dah ada *shivers*. Kuat okeh bunyi ECG tu. Macam orang main gendang.

Ok lah, mahu sambung kerja balik. Balik nanti mahu jumpa agent Proton heheheh~ :D

Chubby Baby Girl On The Way! :D

Suka main hide and seek :)

Chubby cheeks like Ayah's :D

Sticking out her tongue to the doctor. Naughty little girl!
And playful too :D

We went to the clinic for 3D scan. It took us half an hour to get the gender and the view of her face. Lepastu  selamba je dia jelir lidah. Wah wahhhh... pandai ye main-main...Hehehhe~
