Motherhood...

Iris loves to sleep like this..mengiring mcm org besar!

Is SUPER tiring & challenging!!! Penatnyerr...seriously without ummi's help i can go crazy hehehe. I'm trying my very best to breastfeed Iris exclusively, and alhamdulillah she's a champ in latching department. And when i say a champ, i really mean it..she drinks a LOT i tell you. Sampai sakit2 belakang i duduk berjam2 breastfeed Iris. At night especially she'll wakes up quite a number of time to ask for milk. Sometimes i could only sleep at 4am or even 6am hehe, pengsan mummy!

Burp pon ada style ok!

Now she's very alert to sounds and colours especially from the tv. She'll turn around and look at the tv or search for the voices talking to her. She also loves to bathe. Very2 much :) like daddy suka main air. She'll cry her high pitch cries when we took her out of the tub. She's also very active, doesn't like to be 'bedung' and all the time we'll find her socks and mittens to be off her little hands and legs. I think tu mcm mummy xsuke dok diam2!

My sister is in love with Iris..the first one to be by Iris's cot when she makes any noise ;)

As for Mr Husband, i don't think he had any problem adjusting and what not. This is because i have my ummi and sister around who are very2 willing to help me with the baby. So most of the sleepless nights i went through, i find him sleeping peacefully even in the midst of Iris crying on top of her lung! Ada time2 i geram tu, i saje2 la create task for him haha. Suruh amik pampers la, wet wipes la..padahal xjauh mana pon...hehehe jealous la..hmm, even it's tiring, i truly enjoy being a mother..BESTNYEEE!

Introducing...

Our daughter, born on 27th October 2010 at 3 am via emergency c-section.

Her name is

IRIS AFRINA BT MOHD AMINUDDIN

Thanks for all the prayers..alhamdulillah.... :D

The time is just around the corner...

We had our weekly check up this evening and the doctor actually thought that i will already deliver by then hehe..BUT tadaaa~ here we are again! still ok..hehehe. Doc siap ckp, normally ibu2 will be very2 tired and not so active by now. But in my case dia kate " mummy n baby relaks je ". My husband and i couldn't agree more :) So, as planned from the last visit..we did a vaginal examination. The experience was, hmm...slightly painful, but bearable la..i did the flushing thingy previously and that was much much painful.

After the examination, the doc said " good, the baby is very fixed and engaged..and you pon dh masak " hehehe masak tu i guess maksudnye the perineum dah lembut and ready for delivery. The doc suggested for us to be admitted tomorrow evening (Tuesday) and be induced for delivery. InsyaAllah the delivery would be on Wednesday. He planned this because we are staying in Puchong currently and it would take a while to get to Prince Court Med Center. Plus on Wednesday he will be available all day long...so less hectic and no rushing! InsyaAllah....

So to all dear friends and family wherever you are, please pray for me...may it be a smooth and easy delivery insyaAllah. Di sini juga saya ingin memohon maaf di atas salah dan silap saya selama ini..doakan saya dan bayi saya selamat dan sihat sejahtera...Aminnnn....


p/s - doakan suami saya berjaya tanpa sebarang episod pengsan jugak ok..dia sedikit takut and mabuk darah juga adaa hehehe

Betul ke?

I am still pregnant. Still ok to do stuff around the house. I am on medical leave already, not because of any condition whatsoever but because my husband insist me to take it. He couldn't stand looking at this lady walking like a penguin from meeting to meeting..hehe..I am also very big, now weighing 68.9 kg. Doc Aziz said that my baby is not that big, so i don't have to worry..insyaAllah it will be a smooth delivery. According to the doctor my baby will weigh around 2.8kg - 3.0 kg je nanti. Okla kan, besar sgt susah plak nanti..asalkan semua ok sempurna and sihat is enough for me, insyaAllah.

I didn't feel any pain just yet, just the normal braxton hicks i guess..bahasa i masa ckp dgn doctor is " baby mengeras ada la doc "...hehehe doc pon gelakkan aku ok. dia kate okla tu ikut fahaman u..doc ckp " baby xmengeras la zairul, tu rahim awak preparing for labour "...ooo manela tau kan haha.

Last night before nak tido, i singgah toilet jap seperti biasa, and after peeing i noticed ada sket traces of blood, quite surprised! so i cleaned up and wipe the area with tissue but no traces dah. just that one time. in the morning i woke up pon there's no traces dah. husband called the hospital and asked about this, they said it's normal to have this traces and i don't have to go to the hospital just yet. i just need to monitor if there is more bloody shows and if i feel any contractions. if i do have any of that, then i should go to the hospital. As for now, xrase ape pon lagi..

betul ke i dont have to go to the hospital??

~Wishlist~

Hmm..this is difficult, first because i don't exactly know what to ask..second because i malu2 nak mengharap orang kasik apa2 hehe. Being 'me' i don't exactly have like tonnes of friends to beratur nak organize baby shower ke apa ke kan...i am grateful enough with doa2 agar dipermudahkan segala urusan, and alhmdulillah as for now i had a wonderful journey being pregnant. Everything went really well except for some cramps and muscle pain towards the end of the journey.

Back to the wishlist issue :) Earlier on, kak mas my good friend cum office mate did asked me to list down the things that i would like as presents..as that was way too early in my opinion, i put it on hold at that time. Then, few days back my Vietnam-clan asked me for the same thing..hmm...looks like it's gonna be a good time this time. Next week i'll start my medical leave starting effectively on Thursday, so the more reason to do it ;)

So here are some of the stuff that i would like for the baby.. (though most of the essential stuffs have been prepared by this to-be mummy and daddy)

1) Baby bouncer/rocker


2) Clip on Mini fan



3) Baby carrier/sling



5) Play mat/play gym

6) Musical mobile






7) Rattle / Toys



8) Baby clothes (variety sizes) / Blankets / Headbands ( well, baby girl kan insyaAllah)




9) Avent ISIS Manual Breast Pump (Eh, this is for mummy or baby ek? hmm both la kan hehe)



P/S : Pictures are for guidance only...doesn't mean that i want the EXACT same thing hehehe

Wow..tadi cakap don't really know what to ask kan? Suddenly there's quite a number pulak huhu. Basically that's all that i can think of not according to order of importance la..if ade rezeki orang nak kasik alhamdulillah..or else doakan yang terbaik pon dah memadai... So dengan ini, saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada aunty2 and uncle2 yg meminta list ini...THANKS!

Bored

I am bored..with all this formal admin stuff that this 'beloved' company enforced. From nak buktikan performance to nak naik gred to nak kawen, everything has ridiculous rules and regulation. Bencila...xboleh ke we just do our job peacefully...it's just ridiculous that we get all tensed because of nak buat karangan buktikan diri hebat, baik tension sbb keje kan?

If nothing is to be done to change this office politic thingy, i bet the company will be doomed! seriously...wake up la wahai management!!

~haihh..kenapa la aku berenti keje kat company lama and serah diri kat this company~

Hopefully ada hikmah di sebalik semua ni...

Long time no see uolss ~

Selamat Hari Raya to all...i know i know, it's a little bit too late to wish...but seriously it has been quite an experience for me this year. The first time puasa being independent in our own house, the first time puasa and pregnant...hmm, there's always a first time right. Being 7 months+ pregnant during the puasa month is delightful and tiring at the same time. I can now feel and SEE the baby moving and making 'ombak' especially at night. surely will make me smile even at the lowest of time. Fasting while being pregnant for me was good, I lost 1.5 kg hehe. Tiring but still manageable. Good baby, thank you for helping mummy to cope with the hunger and thirst, alhamdulillah...we managed to complete the whole one month! i love you so much ;)

Me @ 6 months ++

Baby @ 7 months...suckling her thumb...

Work is treating me like crazy...i am now 8 months++ and as the day to deliver the baby is approaching, i am more worried about my work rather than the delivery. Being in such a volatile state is so so worrying. However, it's a part of life and i need to go through it no matter what. Okla, to lift up the mood a little here are some pictures that can really put a smile to my face hehehe.

Baby @ 8 months..big eyes mcm mummy ke?

Baju2 dah basuh

Dah lipat elok2...

Daddy dah set up kan baby's drawers..rajin kan daddy

Us @ 8 months ++

See my tummy isn't that big ya? everybody said the same thing.. but the doc said " if ur tummy is large, how can u walk? " hmm betul gak kan? hehehe. But one good thing is everybody keeps on complimenting me on how berseri2 i am, how pretty i am..hehehe seronok jugak kan! And from that compliments most of them guessed correctly baby's gender... menurut doctor la kan..insyaAllah, we're expecting a baby girl :) seronoknye..... alhamdulillah...syukur sangat2...
