TM 5: Mother’s Instinct

I was asked by so many people which I bumped into on the gender of my baby. They were praying and hoping that this baby would be a girl since I have already gotten a boy. I told them, that to me, I just want a healthy baby, doesn’t matter on the gender. I tanak my baby kecik hati; “momma nih nak girl je, tak sayang kite ke”.

My instinct strongly said that this baby would be a boy. I don’t know how to describe it. The feeling was so natural and strong. During the 5^th month checkup, it was confirmed that I was carrying a baby boy. See, my instinct was right. Betul la, mother’s instinct nih sgt kuat and kebetulan it’s true pulak. J

So, baby, don’t worry, momma loves you so much and momma did not bias from the beginning. Trust me, honey! I will try 110% to be a good mother to you and your brother. J

TM4: Rezeki

Heartiest appreciation on this rezeki from Allah S.W.T. I was promoted to a higher grade.

So this year 2011 was my luckiest year ever where another giant rezeki was my sweetest baby popped out in the last quarter of the year.

I had a Miscarriage

I’ve miscarried our second baby. A little bit down. But getting better skit2. Alhamdulillah, dengan selamatnya the 7 weeks fetus has been buried by my hubby this evening.

.

At this point of time, I really need good support and concern from all my beloved frens, families and relatives. Thanks a lot to all my frens for all the thoughts n concerns. I really appreciate it.

My heartiest thankful to all Shaklee Consumers yang sangat prihatin, dpt bersabar n sanggup tunggu for the supplements yang mungkin sampai lewat skit. Ampun ya. My hubby dah tekejar ke sana sini for me settling a few things and did all the posting these few days. I’ve also texted all Shaklee Consumers on the delays. Those who haven’t received any notification from me, please do let me know ye.

Just to share and recap the differences in my early pregnancy symptoms for the first and second pregnancy. Most of my pregnancy symptoms are the same with what have been reflected in American Pregnancy website.

1st Pregnancy Symptoms

/ Delay in Menstruation
/ Spotting and bleeding
X Swollen or Tender Breasts

/ Fatigue or Tiredness

/ Nausea or Morning Sickness
/ Backaches

/ Headaches
/ Frequent Urination

/ Food Cravings and Big Appetite

.

2nd Pregnancy Symptoms

/ Delay in Menstruation

/ Spotting and bleeding

/ Swollen or Tender Breasts

X Fatigue or Tiredness

X Nausea or Morning Sickness

/ Backaches

/ Headaches

X Frequent Urination

/ Food Cravings and Big Appetite

What I loved the most is that this second pregnancy brought more sparks in our marriage. Rasa mcm baru fall in luv with my hubby and all those romantic words were always easily spelled out from my mouth. Masa mengandungkan Nazhan dulu (first pregnancy), this symptom only arise from 2nd trimester onwards.

Whatever has happened, I pasrah dan redha dgn takdir Allah SWT. I am just hoping for healthier pregnancies and deliveries in the future. Amin.

May - Month of Busyness & Full of Luv

I was fully occupied these few weeks from the beginning of May. Tetibe je workload is like 'menggunung' together with loads of household chores. I'll just summarised what has happened in the last few weeks.

Mother's Day

• No big celebration
• Just a plain whole-heartedly wish with full of luvs
• Gifts

Darling Hubby's Birthday

• Send him bouquet of red roses + Ferrero Rocher choco (delivered by Blooming Florist - the service sgtla efficient)
• Mmg terkejut Cik Abe, cause I've never done that before

Nazhan's Development at 8 Months 26 Days

• Buleh berdiri sendiri but with support
• Buleh 'bubye'; when we say 'bubye' - lift his hands (either right or left) sambil gerak2 his 5 fingers to bubye
• Just found out yesterday that ade gigi tumbuh (baru sebatang ye) kat depan sebelah bawah
• Still belum merangkak; just menyulur je
• Sangat manja (awww, momma miss u so much..)

Jalan2

• We had dinner at Putrajaya - kenduri sponsored by hubby yg dianugerahkan APC2009 (syukur)
• Weekend at KLCC - sale at Isetan; hubby bought shoes (men shoes on sale - most of them 50% less)

Office work

• Busy with international projects
• Had to stay back (i.e. urgent board papers to be submitted, several conference call with London & Saudi and etc)
• Open tender (nearly a week ulang alik ke Procurement Office) - loads of tender documents to sign (sampai lenguh tgn) & boss asyik call & email asking 'when r u coming back to the office?'

Last Monday again diuji. Hubby suddenly pening2 and vomited for several times. Took him to the hospital (on the way, vomit lg in the car). Doctor put him on drip (day warded), bg ubat & mc for two days. He seemed ok this morning. We plan to do further check up cause reason yg doc tu bg mcm tak meyakinkan je.

Today again busy with office work, again conf call (huh..). Couldn't wait to go home & couldn't wait for the weekend since we are going back to our hometown.

To my Shaklee Consumers, just email me or sms me as usual on any queries or orders. InsyaAllah, I'll do my very best to entertain you. :)

Teytey

Nazhan current favourite word is 'teytey'. If I said to him 'momma', he'll reply 'teytey' & sometimes 'tey'. My niece sgtla naughty where she brilliantly translated that word to a 'decent' meaning. Try to replace the both letters 'y' with 'k' and you'll understand what I'm trying to tell.

Sgtla musykil, we never say something exactly or samar2 like that. I wonder where did he captured the words from, emm from what sounds..?

Bilala Nazhan nak sebut 'momma' ni.. :p

*Pic snapped at Cameron

Nazhan with Fever, Flu & Cough

The first time Nazhan got fever (no flu & cough) is when he was 4 months (see pic above). Last Monday he was attacked with flu and cough and yesterday with an additional disease; fever. I was on EL yesterday. Me & hubby brought him to see his 'favourite' paed (Dr Nasir). Nampak je Dr, trus nangis. hehe..My husband kept on repeating saying, "He's not going to inject you, Nazhan.." But he just cried and cried until we left the room. Emm, I have to admit that he is not a friendly baby and always cried when he sees strangers.

According to Dr Nasir, his throat ade infection skit. No wonder his voice turned out like, mcm nak baligh. :p He could not sleep well that Monday night. Me & hubby took turns to carry him cause he seemed more comfortable sleeping on our shoulders. Luckily, last night, he was ok. He slept safe and sound. No more fever, just flu and a bit coughing.

This time (second time attacked), he was active, tak mcm org tak sihat. Makan and minum ok. Siap sebut "nyum2.." when I fed him with farley's rusks. He just cried nak manja2 due to sore throat and having difficulty to breathe. And today at this moment, I'm sneezing several times, sejuk kaki2. I got to go, need to take my supplements now. :) Doakan Nazhan cepat sembuh ye..

Bila Nazhan Gatal Gusi

He started having itchy gums when he's going to be 5 months young. But not as kerap as now, when he is 6 months 18 days.

*start showing his blurry face

*uuh I feel itchy momma..

*heeeshh it's getting worse..

*I couldn't stand it..huhu..

*I feel better when I bite my lips..

*momma I need my teether..

My Son from Newborn Till 6 Months+

Just to share pic of Nazhan from Newborn till Today.

*Newborn Nazhan at APSH

*Nazhan at 1 month

*Nazhan at 2 Months

*Nazhan at 3 Months

*Nazhan at 4 Months

*Nazhan at 5 Months

*Nazhan at 6 Months 8 Days
Alhamdulillah, he's growing well and I just really couldn't describe how fast my luv for him grows bigger n bigger (zillions n zillions everyday). Luv u son so much, muahhmuahh >100zillions.. :)

Breastfeeding & Breastbiting

Lately nih, Nazhan makin menjadi2 naughtynye. Yes, he seems to love biting me. I dah buat mcm yg org advice, picit skit hidung dia, n ade jugak cubit skit dia. I've also done like what have been advised here. Tp, Nazhan will look at me, dgn muka yg heran n blurr, like 'what's the prob, mama picit n cubit sana sini, do this n that..' n continue back sucking n biting at the same time.

.

The worst thing is, he will bite n at the same time pulling it sambil membebel2. This action akan diselang seli dgn minum susu. Mmg I terjerit2 jugakla, mana tahan sakit. But he will just look at me dgn muka heran like, 'mama nih nape nak terjerit2'. Huhuhu..Naughty sungguh..Sabar je la..

Introducing Solid Food to Nazhan

Nazhan dah start taking solids. Yeayyy! He loves it. Sblum nih kalau tgk org mkn, mulut asyik terbukak je (ternganga2), sampai meleleh2 air liur. Kalau ade 10 lalat tgh fly, confirm dah masuk dlm mulut dia sepuluh2 tu.

I started with vege food dulu, banana and apple. Nazhan preferred banana, lambat je suap, sure jerit2 and tgn dia, I tell you, tak leh duk diam (nak jugak pegang sudu). Kalau bg yg apple tu, dia cebik mulut and his face. Mungkin sbb masam skit kut. Now, dah bg cereal rice and he likes it just like how he jerit2 for banana. From his facial, movement and jerit2 expression, I could translate it like, 'mama, don't stop, i want more and more'. hihihi..

Ohh ye, I thought Malaysians are aware of babywearer, rupanye salah my sangkaan. Semua tgk I mcm I nih alien. Yg amazed pun ada jugak. Yang dtg and siap selak pouch tu pun ada. Enjoy latest pic of Nazhan in baby pouch and his expressions while taking solids below.

nazhan tgh tdo

nazhan tgh mkn..nyum2..

Clap2..Nazhan smiled at the camera. Susah sgt2 for him to smile in front of the camera. Selalunya his expressions would be blur, tekejut, heran. Selepas I bertungkus lumus saying 'smile nazhan, smile, look at the camera' sambil terlompat2, this is the result.

Bayi 5 Bulan Dera Diri Sendiri

Last week, sesampai je di rumah (after work) I was surprised by Nazhan. Kecik2 lagi dah pandai buat org terkejut. Look at his face.

I've decided utk bukak sarung tgn dia. Tp, hanya 3 hari saja his face bertahan dari didera. This is the worst ever. Sedih bila tgk.

.

I thought of posting this last Tuesday lg. Tp tak sempat nak upload pic. What he did, hanyalah, menggosok his face, mata dgn tangan sampai naik biji2 ruam, yg tersangatla teruk sampai merah satu muka. Kualiti gambar tak berapa clear sbb guna hp camera je. Seriously, the real face looked worst than the pic here. Yang putih2 tu adalah bedak sejuk, my mom letak so that cepat skit kurang biji2 merah tu.

.

After a few days, barula nampak elok skit. Tp still ade bekas2 luka yg baru kering. Hopefully, benda yg sama takkan berulang lg. huhuhu..

.

Melted heart

Last night, while I was pulling my blanket to sleep, Nazhan woke up. No voice, but his eyes and his moving hands really make my heart melt (mcm ice cube, kene simbah dgn hot boiling water). He was in the baby cot, next to my bed, looking at me (dgn muka kesian), tdo mengiring and the hands were in btw the cot's rails (mcm duduk dlm jail pulak). Seolah2 his inner voice saying 'mama, pls, i want to sleep by your side..'
.
Couldn't stand with his reaction (sgtla rasa kesian n my husband jugak sudah terjual dgn muka kesian dia), I took him and put by my side. He was still looking at me and my husband, touching me, and siap merengek2. He slept off after a while (maybe dah rasa comfortable).
.
Huh..until this morning, terbayang2 his face. I just couldn't best describe my heartiest appreciation of this Gift from Allah. It's really wonderful being a mother and I just couldn't wait to go home (bila keje) to see him, hold him, bathe him, play with him, semua la. I luv u son..

Nazhan’s Development

Last nite, I saw, he sucked his right toe. Terkejut, sampai terjerit skit. Ntah apa2 kan mama nazhan nih. The next morning I happily shared with my colleagues, and they said ‘nazhan nak dpt adik la tu’. Huh, nazhan baru nak masuk 5 bulan next month, nanti2 dulu la ye. I browse through baby center and found the table below. The red highlighted blum ade kat nazhan lg. Tak sabar nak tgk next month’s development.
