Naoura Amily's birthday

3 Oktober....time to check in.... nervous x hengat!!!

The birth of our beloved Little Lily....

Final Trimester Dilemma

Bila dah akhir2 pregnancy.....mula la fikir macam2. Baca bad review about Demc la.... sampai siap nak tukar hospital. Tanya pendapat kawan2 yang pernah bersalin/mendapatkan rawatan di Demc. 1 good review dan satu lagi not so good review. Lagi la pening kepala tak tau nak buat decision. Akhirnya kepada Allah jua ku ajukan dilema diri. Beberapa kali jugak buat solat istikharah dan akhirnya Allah tetapkan hati utk kekal bersalin di situ. Lagipun hubby cakap...apa pun yg berlaku adalah bahagian masing2. Pindah la hospital manapun kalau dah Allah tetapkan bahagian kita macam tu... itu la yg kita dapat.

Tak habis di situ.....bila dah 35 weeks terjumpa la pulak Gentle Birthing Group. I was surprised to know that it is possible to give birth vaginally even after multiple caesareans. Huwaaaaa......memang dilema tahap gaban la..... I wanted soooo badly to try vba2c (vaginal birth after 2 caesareans). Malangnya tak ramai doktor yg support vba2c dan mommies who had multiple csect chose to do homebirth. Tp ada 2 dr yg recommended by the group who support vbac aft multiple csect. 1. Dr Haw frm columbia asia 2. Dr Idora frm Pantai Bangsar. Had a serious discussion with hubby and finally hubby said ok he will agree to vba2c depending on whether Dr Mazita agrees to it. As mentioned above... tak ramai dr yg sanggup ambik risiko. So sah2 la Dr Mazita x approve n we decided to go ahead with czer.....(nangis tahap gabans jugak ni).

Apa pun.... this round at least I have a birth plan. Rasa mcm dah outdated sangat2. Nasib baik la jumpa Gentle Birthing Group. Through this group, banyak info yang diperolehi from other mommies. We actually have a say in our birthing and not just let the dr dictate us. For instance, whether we want the use of drugs or not, delayed cord clamping, instant bonding with infant, exclusive breastfeeding and so forth. Terlalu banyak yg nak share about gentle birthing. Apa pun.... my birth plan banyak yg tak menjadi kenyataan. I wanted hubby to be with me masa csect tp it is against Demc punya policy. Sedih....coz masa kat kpj tawakal dulu, dr siap offer hubby nak masuk ke tak. Another birth plan where instant bonding wf baby pun tak dapat. My birth plan yg menjadi ialah to have all female staffs masa dalam ot dan exclusive breastfeeding and baby stayed wf me in my room and not in the nursery. For that I'm thankful. As what Soo Wai Han said, at least this birth has a plan.  :-)

Of my pregnancy

Ok, throughout the pregnancy, I did all my check ups di DEMC. The obgyn is Dr Mazita Mashoor. Very soft spoken lady and simple. Ke becoz this patient tak banyak tanya n alhamdulillah it was a smooth sailing pregnancy. Kuasa Allah kan..... sebelum pregnant, I was diagnosed as a talassemia carrier la...arthritis la... mild carpal tunnel la.... with low blood pressure...hamek.... tp masyaa Allah... masa pregnant I was blessed with good health. Tiga2 pregnancy sebelum ni anaemia tp this one tak. Ya Rabb...betul la....bila kita letakkan seluruh pengharapan padaNya....... tak tau nak cakap banyak.... awal2 pregnant aje ada alahan tu pun not so bad. Masuk 5 bulan dah ok. Cuma berattt aje la membawa badan sebab mmg dah already besar.

Hibernate

Fuh.....lamanya hibernate aka bertapa dari blog ni.....penuh sawang.....huhu....tetiba bila preggy takde mood nak menulis......

Bila ada 2 jalur.....

Jalur lebar aka broadband? Nope...... Sesuatu yang lebih bermakna dan ditunggu-tunggu.... Masya Allah.... apabila saya redha after months of waiting......Dia kurniakan sesuatu buat saya..... sesuatu yang saya fikir mustahil.... Tiada yang mustahil bagiNya.... It's too early to tell tapi bahagia yang saya rasa tak dapat diungkapkan dengan kata-kata.....

At the moment, saya hanya boleh berdoa semoga rasa bahagia ini berkekalan buat beberapa bulan dan tahun2 yang mendatang.... I guess doa saudara mara dan rakan-rakan turut memainkan peranan dalam kurniaan rasa bahagia ini dariNya. Ya Allah....sekiranya ini kurniaanMu buatku, lindungilah kami dan permudahkan......

Our very own mini library

Wah....tajuk cam gempak tapi angan2 ajelah buat masa ni..... Honestly, one day, I'd like to transform our family hall (or shall I say utility?) into a mini library. At the moment, that space is not fully utilized. Ada tv tak guna, ada sofa pun tak duduk.....ya Allah, bukan lah kami kufur dengan nikmatMu.... (Serius takut!)... Buat masa ni, Billy Bookcase yang beli kat Ikea ada satu aje....itupun dah tak mampu menampung buku-buku yang sedia ada. Tak masuk lagi buku-buku papa yang dalam stor.


The current super mini library

The proposed space for our mini library project

Ok, back to the mini library project, I think I need to get rid of the two sofas and also the tv. Anybody wants the sofas n tv? Tak fully utilized so memang ada pembaziran di situ. Dulu ada Astro tp now decoder kat bawah. Let me know if ada anybody wants ye. Nak bagi kat orang, kena upah lori, tu yang malas nak fikir. Anyway, the mini library is not on top of my list so I don't know if my dream will come true anytime soon. So, enjoy my dream mini library..eh mini ke eh?

Pesta Buku 2013 @ PWTC

Pelik tapi benar..... A book lover like me tak pernah pergi mana-mana pesta buku. Padahal orang lain punyalah berebut-rebut, menunggu-nunggu pesta buku. Walaubagaimanapun, tahun ni dah nekad nak pergi pesta buku kat pwtc. Siap blokkan tarikh pesta buku ie from 30 Jan- 3 Feb 2013 dalam kalendar telefon. Cadangnya, 1st day lagi nak pergi meronda. Budak2 ke sekolah, mama pun ambil peluang nak pergi beli buku. Harap2 cikgu2 tak kensel kokurikulum untuk Nurin dan Naznin. Kalau tak, alamat sekejap ajelah mama dapat meronda tengok buku. Agak2 berapa ek diskaun untuk pembelian novel? Setakat ni, kalau dekat Pustaka Rawang, if beli 3 buah buku, dapat 15% diskaun. Kat popular, kena time sale, 20% diskaun dia bagi.... Sangat2 berharap diskaun untuk novel lebih tinggi daripada hari2 biasa. Kalau tak..it'll be my 1st and last kot.

The verdict:

Ok, seriously quite disappointed la coz diskaun tak memberangsangkan, Dekat Kaki Novel, diaorang just bagi RM4 je diskaun dan di Karya Seni RM5. Cumanya, kat Kaki Novel ada novel2 lama yang dijual dengan harga RM10. Itu memang worth buying. Dekat Kaki Novel beli 5 buku aje. Dekat Karya Seni pulak sampai sepuluh novel....kopak!!! Nasib baik tak withdraw duit banyak2 sebelum pergi PWTC....kalau tak.....urghhh tak dapat dibayangkan damage bulan ini..... Huhu....  Tu tak pergi Fajar Pakeer dan Alaf21 lagi..... Whoa....masak!!  What I did yesterday, terus ke booth Kaki Novel and later ke Karya Seni. I'm not the shopaholic type.....so lepas beli buku terus balik....takde maknanya nak merayau window shopping booth lain. So, lepas ni nak pergi Pesta Buku lagi tak? Entah la..... We'll see.......

My Favourite Book

This book is really my favourite..... ada a few lagi sebenarnya but today I want to highlight this one.Kenapa? Bahasa takdela berbunga-bunga sangat. Simple and straight forward. Yang buat suka sangat2 tu sebab it gives me ideas to spice up the marriage..... How? That's for me to know and for you to find out! ;-) Hero dalam novel ni ialah Zahrain n herionnya Nawwal Husna.  I don't want to write a review coz I'm sure berlambak blog bagi review. Baca dah banyak kali but  it never fail to amuse me.... Recommended la....esp for the married ones....

New year new year..........

For me, there's no big huha about new year.....Siap boleh tido masa orang sibuk countdown....tak tau pun meriah dengan firework....hehehe..... Anyway, apa pun about new year's resolution, I believe, buat la banyak mana resolution, kalau kita tetap tak nak berubah, tak jadi apa! So, sincerely ask yourself, what you want out of this life.....is it  going to be better or worse...... Are we gonna be a better person or worse than before.... A better Muslim or worse than before.... Each day brings us closer to our Maker..... How much preparation have me made so far...... Sigh..... Honestly, I shudder at the thought......

Ye la.....ikut tahun Hijrah, dah memang 40....kalau ikut tahun eh kita panggil ape ye? Gregorian ye? Tahun Gajah? Seriously can't think at the moment. So tahun ni baru naik 40 aka 4 series aka......You have reached Level 4..... I'm optimistic.....I will try to be a better wife, a better mom, a better daughter and friend. Bukan azam tahun baru, tapi hari2 punya azam..... Anyway, may Allah bless us with another great year and many more years to come.....In Syaa Allah.....
