Sleep Baby, Sleep

The past few days the kids and I mean both of them if you’d believe slept from 8 all the way till the morning, but last night they decided to spring one on me and stayed up until 12 am last night! I had gotten so used to having free nights! After a whole week of staying up by choice, on the one night that I need to sleep early, I had no choice but to sleep late. Sheeeesssssss.

Kalau berjaga tapi tak gaduh takpe, ni tak boleh ditinggalkan. Masuk blik at 8pm, then tak nak tidur jugak so I got out and cooked dinner sekejap (the most delicious sup tulang berempah ewah dicicah dengan cili kicap yummyyyy), sempat lagi makan malam, kemas dapur bagai, pun Aisha tak mahu tidur. Masuk balik bilik, golek golek, tonggeng tonggeng (she got on all fours, rocked her body a few times, kemudian tersembam ke depan. Lepas tu buat balik).

Susu tak nak, masukkan EBM dalam botol susu pun tak nak. Now I understand why some mothers decide to formula feed their child. I seriously thought I had run out of milk, and in my hands was a baby, crying with all her might. So I passed the baton, or rather the baby, to Zuf (since he was staying up to watch the Arsenal game anyway) and put Emma to bed pulak. A few minutes later, I was already asleep and voila! So was Aisha. Congrats to Zuf!

Kesannya? Hari ni bangun pagi pukul 8.

Of Walking And Breastfeeding

Minggu lepas ada kenduri di rumah sepupu Zuf. Sedang aku duduk di lantai bersantai mendukung Aisha, datang seorang anak buah jauh Zuf, juga mendukung adiknya yang aku kira agak muda iaitu agak-agak 2 years old

ABZ : Umur dia berapa tahun kak?

AKU : Baru masuk 5 bulan.

ABZ : Dia dah boleh cakap dah?

AKU : (Kau dah kenapa budak 5 bulan dah boleh bercakap?!) Err.. tak boleh lagi lah.

ABZ : Mukhriz (adiknya itu) jalan cepat, cakap lambat. Orang kata jalan cepat, cakap lambat.

AKU : (Eh ada aku tanya?) Oh ye ke.. bila dia start jalan?

ABZ : Tujuh bulan dah jalan!

AKU : (Hek eleh budak darjah satu ni. Jalan meniti kot. Hebat betul adik ko?! Sentap ni!!)

Heh? (Terus pandang tempat lain)

Aku skeptik dengan ayat itu kerana Emma dahlah jalan lambat, cakap lagilah lambat. Don't think there is such a thing, or is a scientically proven thing. Skeptik tahu tak, skeptik!

OK sekarang Aisha's updates.

Sedang menonton televisyen. Sangat khusyuk.

Hmm.. biasa saja. Kadang-kadang dia berpusing-pusing. She also gets up on all fours and rocks herself. Tang tido tu memang dahsyat repositioning dia. Biasa dia tidur jam 8, dan bangun balik menyusu jam 4. (Biasa menyusu sambil baring, bila aku nak tidur aku angkat dia masuk babycot. Jam 4 menyusu aku angkat atas katil). So far so good.

Menyusu pulak Alhamdulillah masih menyusu badan. Stok susu dalam fridge pun OKlah, not bad at all. Time Emma dulu memang kais pagi makan pagi, Aisha ni ada lagi stok so pumping schedule tak begitu rigid. The other day after a meeting that went on and on, I double pumped while driving back to the office. Freestyle FTW! Kadang-kadang sesi mengepam dibuat sambil menggosok baju, mengemas beg, mencuci botol, menaip di pejabat ewah. Cumanya masa mengepam kat meja office tu, janganlah menyuruh aku bangun kerana walaupun ia boleh dilakukan, aku akan kelihatan seperti seorang wanita with super boobies.

Emma breastfeeding her baby, also named Aisha Zoeya sheesh.

Saiz badan, hehehe, is average. Not as Sin Chan as Emma. Much slimmer. And lighter. And dare I say shorter. Sigh.

So far, Emma has been nothing but a good and loving sister. Dia bangun pagi kalau Aisha dah bangun lepak dengan aku kat depan, dia menangis cari Aisha. Kalau Aisha terjaga dari tidur, dia dodoikan Aisha. Of course Aisha never falls back asleep, but at least she keeps her entertained. Kalau Aisha tarik rambut Emma (which she always does), aku marah Aisha, aku kena marah balik dengan Emma.

A photo I uploaded on facebook the other day.

Love.

Seems like Emma and I are the ones who have to fight for Aisha's affection. Bukan Aisha dan Emma yang fight for mine.

Next!

Okay so Blogaway sucked. Couldn't upload photos. Or maybe I didn't know how. Mari eksperimen!

Blogaway

Keeping to my resolution, so far. So I'm trying out this new blogging app, let's see if it's any good.

We had Shaqeel for the weekend while K Chy went outstation. It was nice to see Emma and Shaq and even Aisha bonding. Once I was at the kitchen, leaving the kids alone in the kids' room, then Aisha sorta cried. I yelled "Emma! Main dengan Aisha!". Usually she'd just follow my order. Today I heard her yell "Shaqeel! Main dengan Aisha!". Lepas tu dengar suara Shaqeel cakap-cakap dengan "Esha". Hehe the heirarchy has changed.

Haha really quick update. Happy Monday morning, everyone!

Happy 2012 people! Haven't seen you guys for quite some time. I'm in a meeting right now, but aku sedang duduk tersandar sambil mengupdate blog muahahaha. Bergaduhlah you all. I'm doing this because of my resolution. Heh heh. I resolve to update my blog at least once a week, more frequently if time permits. Like today hahaha. Susah nak update because android app takde blogpress. Hehehe alasan. Among other resolutions are:- To spend less time indoors, watching TV and to spend more time appreciating nature chewah. Implemented last weekend whereby Aisha terbaring baring atas tilam kat luar rumah while aku jemur baju dan bercucuk tanam dan Emma bermain pasir. Lagi resolusi :- To run the half marathon in this year's KL Marathon. Berusahalah! Haven't started training yet.. Hmm.. Cook more often. With four mouths to feed, eating out everyday is not a viable option. Plus its healthier. Cooked in bulk on Monday and froze some. To be more patient. Especially with Emma. God, akal budak ni nowadays. I've had meltdowns I'm not proud of *cries* Final resolution :- submit my application to ISM. Muahahaha. 7 years gone. Major procastinator (sp). Fuih banyak juga azam tahun 2012. Marilah berusaha menjayakannya! Happy 2012 everyone!
