Hospital Kuala Pilah in memory...

My bestie, Zura dah selamat melahirkan kembar last Sunday. Alhamdulillah. She gave birth kat hospital Kuala Pilah. Masa she admitted and kena tunggu beberapa hari jugaklah before give birth, we all selalu lah texting. Now both babies admitted to hospital again due to jaundice. It really reminds me masa Amir pun kene admitted at the same hospital sebab jaundice jugak. How she feels similar to what I had felt before. Maybe dia lebih risau sebab ada 2 babies.

Baby yang ada jaundice akan admit to NICU - which handle not only jaundice cases, paling banyak I tengok masa tu, pre-mature cases. It breaks my heart. They are so tiny, tapi wayar bersimpang-siur kat badan. Sad. Ada yang kena minum susu guna tiub. Dan apa yang lagi sedih tengok emak-emak baby tu ulang-alik ke hospital nak visit anak.

There was a mother, her daughter was born at 26 weeks. Very tiny. Masa Amir admit, dia dah 2 months kat sana. Even the mother hari-hari tido kat hospital, pantang berurut semua burn. Kadang-kadang I saw her talking to her daughter, usap-usap. Walaupun takde respond, so touching. Kadang-kadang panic, baby keeps vomitting or something unusual happen, she nervously called doc and nurses. Mak pun tumpang nervous. I really hope her baby is fine by now.

Cerita kelakar pun ada. Tak semua case anak tak sihat and si emak risau sampai tak tido. Ada sorang baby ni pun pre-mature, older than the first baby I told. Emak dia pulak tak tido kat hospital, datang pagi.. balik petang. Sampai-sampai hospital je, dia terus landing atas katil, berdengkur. Aduhai pelik. Nurse suruh breastfeed anak, dia riba anak.. Selak baju, dah. Anak dia tak latch pun, kitaorang ni yang naik mual tengok *tut* dia. Luckily father of the baby very loving, kalau masa melawat tu..sibuk dia suruh si emak bawak baby kat dia. Dok lah si ayah bercakap and mengagah anak. Once I heard si bapak cakap kat si emak 'Jah, tengoklah anak tu.. Ekau ni tido yoo'
Hahahaha

So zura, I pray the twins akan cepat2 recover. Amir dulu pun macam tu, soon dapatlah you three menikmati bonding time di rumah.

Macam saye dan Amir :)

Apa emak baby boleh makan?

SEMUA!

Emak baby ni asyik mengidam je nak makan macam-macam. Dulu masa pregnant tak sempat nak mengidam sebab memanjang sickness so takde selera. Kalau makan pun tak habis..

Dah sekarang ni mari makan habis-habisan!

Tadi lunch kat Kanna Curry House - banana leaves. Lama tak pekena makan nasi atas daun pisang ni. Dengan karinya yang pekat, cukup rasa.. Kambing masak masala lagi.. Ditambah lagi ayam goreng berempah. Nasi pulak membukit tinggi.

Licin beb! Alhamdulillah.

Antara kedai nasi daun pisang yang best yang I pernah pergi la, no 1 in chart haruslah Kanna, then Raju kat jalan gasing and (nama kedai tak ingat) kat jalan telawi Bangsar.

Apa yang baby anda tidak boleh makan?

1. Garam
Exclude garam dari makanan baby until at least 1 year. Due to immature kidney.

2.Madu
Juga until at least 1 year. Dalam madu ada bakteria beracun what we call clostridium botulism boleh menyebabkan baby diserang infant botulism.

3.Kekacang
To avoid allergy and choke.

4.Susu lembu
Boleh menyebabkan baby mendapat excessive protein, sodium dan potasium - sukar untuk diproses.

5.Susu tidak dipastuer
Mengandungi bakteria E-Coli - cause cirit-birit

6.Buah-buahan sitrus
Oren, kiwi, grapefruit

7.Ikan
Ikan yang tinggi mercuri like - tuna, king macarel, yu dan marlin.
Gantikan dengan salmon, sardin, ikan bilis, tilapia dan herring.

8.Telur
Risiko alahan.

World Thinking Day

Eh, apa tu? I just got to know it today while listening to JJ & Ean.

Fact:
Each year on 22 February, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world celebrate World Thinking Day (WTD). This year's theme is Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 3: gender equality and empowering women.

You can follow them on Twitter and Facebook.


Gamaknye diorang ni nak urge kita supaya menggunakan hari ini untuk lebih banyak berfikir. Maka bila dah tau pasal WTD ni pekara pertama yang saya fikirkan ialah: Hmmm.. nak fikir pasal apa ni?

No 1 mestilah terfikir pasal anak, especially on education and saving for Amir. Alhamdulillah baru-baru ni dah dapat bukak account for Amir. Sementelah bapak bekerja di Maybank default bukak Yippie Savings Account.

A savings account for children aged below 18 years, offering high interest rates up to 2.75% p.a.

Effective rate:

1.20 - 2.76% p.a.

Minimum deposit : RM1

Benefits

•Free coin box when you open a Yippie account with a RM250 deposit

•Cash rewards for Yippie Club members who excel in their PMR, SPM, STPM and Tertiary level exams

•Free Personal Accident Insurance coverage of up to RM70,000 for you and your child

•The chance to win fantastic prizes in various contests (if any)

And we already started with early education for Amir. Baby Einsten DVDs and flash card;

• encourage baby's discovery of the world
• fill lives with beautiful music & move you with new ways to experience art, nature and language
• to inspire baby to sing, clap, laugh and discover the world together

Hope it helps Amir in his learning process. Of course as a parent I hope Amir be a bright person. We try to expose Amir with variety experience then let he choose what interest him more (walaupun dalam hati harap2 Amir suka sports like both emak dan bapak - Typical!)

Bila fikir2 balik so-like-syndrome anak pertama!! Semuanya dia.. haha Kalau rasa nak beli baju sendiri, tangguh-tangguh.. Kalau barang Amir yang tidak penting pun Tak Ape! Bak kata Ustaz kat Darussyifa' haritu..

Anak pertama ye?
Biasalah.. anak pertama ni kejap-kejap karang bawak pergi klinik..

Bukan sebab anak pertama selalu sakit, tapi pantang lain macam sikit je terus nak tanya doktor. Risau lah katakan.

Hai la Amir....... (rindu pulak)

Oh ye, selepas luahan hati pasal Amir kuat menangis tu. Now rasa sangat lega, Amir dah tak menangis macam dulu especially dengan babysitter. Sekarang dah senang senyum, cakap sikit-sikit tak payah agah pun senyum. Alhamdulillah.

Ok mari fikir pasal emak Amir pulak.. Career wise - ni bila Amir dah nak besar rase nak expand my career pulak. Bermakna more responsibility at office, maybe tak dapatlah nak balik on time. I plan to pursue my study jugak - Slowly but Sure! Haha. Mencabar betul. Nak siapkan proposal pun makan berbulan-bulan.

Kan best ada kaunter cam gitu. Tsk. Tsk.

Dan terfikir bilalah nak mula excercise nak kasi sama kurus dengan kawan-kawan emak Amir dalam entry yang lepas. Walaupun berat dah menurun tapi kurang proportionate, kena lah adjust-adjust sikit.

Lepas tu terfikir pulak.....

I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

Bilalah gamaknya tu? Sampai la ni si Travie Mccoy tu takde pun keluar Forbes magazine dgn Oprah & the Queen.. takkan le saya pulak dapat dulu kan.

Masa kecik-kecik dulu berangan nak beli Cagiva Mito. Tapi confirm lah tak payah beli sebab kaki pun tak sampai.. Kan dah kata masa saya kecik ingatkan bila dah besar semua jadi tinggi. Mana tau memang genetik rendang.

So sebab tak berapa tinggi, bajet nak beli kereta rendah-rendah la... seperti ...

Akhirnya daaaaa.....pat jugak..... Ambil gambar.




Ok, jap... Hari ni Thinking Day ke Berangan Day?! Off-topic!


I'm off now.

p/s: best kan berangan... yang tak bestnya bila sedar dah kena berhenti berangan. sob. sob.

Happy Weekend!

We knew it's going to be a busy weekend but we were so happy!!

Saturday
We woke up early in the morning. Lepas breakfast terus bersiap-siap nak keluar. What was the mission? Stroller hunting! We initially thought of going few shops tapi rupanya first stop je dah jumpa yang berkenan.
We bought Amir's brand new stroller at Baby Cottage. They offer discount to some brands so go and check out their website. Last friday, I went to Sogo - variety of strollers kat sana pun not bad. They are selling most of brands from high to low-end. I noticed brand Chicco ada discount kat sana.

Allo bro, tak happy ker??   ;p

Selesai urusan membeli, terus balik rumah my in law where Amir had so much fun with his causins.

Amilia - 2 months younger than Amir

(sila telengkan leher anda counter clockwise)

Caught holding hands!! Patut Amir sengeh semacam.

 Aysha - 2 months older than Amir

 Aysha tensyen Amir lasak sangat!

 Amir & Abang Adam & iPad & Planets. Adam loves Planets & Solar system (Borink!)

 Amir said "Owh, it's girls' pictures now.. let me come closer"

This is what happen lepas dah penat berpusing, bergelimpang, bergurau, meraung ....

On Sunday pulak, kawan-kawan Mommy sibuk datang rumah. Sebab kami nak celebrate birthday Syuhada!

Ya, Syuhada berbaju kuning tu bukan pink. ;p

 Fuh, penat mak masak.

Eh gemoknye! Mesti banyak makan nih.. (they're pregnant)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYUD! Love.



Stroller Hunting: 1st stop

Now we are at Baby Cottage, Sg Way. Kedai ni betul2 tepi federal highway side Shah alam to KL. This shop sebaris dengan Fire Fighter.

Memang selling items kat sini stroller and car seat. Most of brands ada except Combi and Graco. Malaysia product like Aldo and Halford pun banyak sangat option kat sini.

We're looking for umbrella fold stroller. Still looking around.

You after the birth - Be a Hot Mom or a Grand Mom?

Asyik entry pasal anak je, mari bercerita pasal perkembangan emak setelah 5 bulan melahirkan. Bukan ke sepatutnya dah ‘tak kembang’ lagi sekarang?


Honestly, masa pregnant and nearly deliver.. I started to think about how can I re-shape anything yang dah out-of-shape nih. Kahwin baru setahun jagung, takkan nak bagi excuse ada anak seorang takleh nak maintain appearance kan. Plus, you know your husband ‘preference’ walaupun dia selalunya kata ‘ala, tak pe.. I understand’ ;p

So, dah pasang angan-angan nak jaga badan after delivery and husband sila jaga anak. And based on sembang-sembang dengan kawan-kawan berpengalaman, breastfeed could help too! Lagi la bersemangat, tak payah berlari 10 kali padang pun boleh kurus? With blink of an eye, terus kurus nokss!

But the real thing is, memanglah berat berkurang after deliver.. Definitely! Bila baby dah keluar – dah reduce 3-4kg tu. Bila perut dah tak menggunung, pergerakan lebih banyak, calories.. fat burnt.. ha, turun lagi berat badan tu. But, my concern now is SHAPE. And how to get your body back?

I noticed now body is not proportionate. Pinggang Ok, peha tak berapa nak ok and so on. Nak buat exercise (konon-konon) now tak boleh lagi, Amir still requires much of attention. There are times I feel down sangat bila kadang-kadang lalu dekat cermin – ala selekehnya. Especially now masa kat depan dressing table dah berkurang. Kadang-kadang dah elok-elok dressed-up, bila dalam kereta sibuk susukan amir.. Time nak keluar baju kusut la (kadang2 terangkat. Demn!). Rambut pun serabai dok kena tarik. Alahai….

Camana nak maintain appearance nih gamaknya? Lets take a look piccas some of my 'friends' -- they look FAB & GEORG after delivery.

Bila lah turn saya pulak nak looking as fabolous as them nih?

Happy 5 Months Young!

Hey Sonny,

Now that you've grown up anda sudah boleh ketawa terkekek2, play, meniarap and dah angkat bontot, u turn ur head if mommy calling u, kurang menangis ;p attracted to something colorful, dah pandai capai and 'eat' mommy's fingers!

Tapi setiap kali masuk bulan baru, 'perangai' pun tukar baru. Dari tidur dalam cot then nak tidur celah ketiak now kat atas badan pulak. (Anak sorang boleh la ;p )

I enjoy living with u to the bits! :)

Darussyifa'

We went to Darussyifa this morning. Sangat puas hati bukan sebab amir dah tidak menangis sama sekali, tapi Ustaz yang merawat Amir very sensible.

Ustaz sendiri cakap jangan setiap kali budak menangis kita kaitkan dgn syaitan. Logiknya adalah kemahuan baby yang kita xfaham n xdpt nak fulfill. Tapi memang ada sejenis syaitan ni suka tengok baby menangis dan kacau-kacau, kat mana2 dan setiap baby pun ada.

TIPS:
1) Sebelum dan selepas bangun tidur
Baca 3 Qul sambil tadah tangan, hembus pada tangan dan sapu pada seluruh badan baby.

2)If baby menangis dan sukar dipujuk
Baca surah alam nasyrah dah hembus pada hidung baby supaya dapat disedut. Surah ini untuk tenangkan baby.

Harap2 dengan amalan ni Amir lebih tenang especially masa orang lain jaga.

P/s: Amir sudah 5 bulan la harini!
