Mari berbuka puasa!

On Wednesday I was no longer confined to home, hehe so we had buka puasa at Nando's One Utama. Then we bought Emma her stroller. Haha.

On Thursday plak we had a buka puasa outing at Sari Ratu, Kelana Jaya. As usual, their jus alpukat habis. Boring siot. Asal pegi jek abis. Dalam banyak-banyak kali aku pegi, sekali jek aku dapat merasakan keenakan jus avocado itu.

All the above was sponsored by this person below. Thank you very much dear beloved sister. Who is on her way to Germany as I type. On business class, no less. Oh seronoknya.

Tomorrow the usual people are having buka puasa makan-makan in Mid Valley pulak. Its been ages since I last went there. Last year the session was at Madam Kwan's and later we bowled. This time around, ada pertambahan iaitu Wan Rose and family, and I doubt we're going bowling.

Serious boring post aku kali ni. Belasah je la. Perut aku buncit la. Memula dulu lepas bersalin ok je. Abis pantang ni belasah makan ngan minum air sejuk, ambik. Argh tension. Mujurlah berat aku dah kembali ke pre-pregnancy weight. Tapi ukuran belum turun. Aku pun musykil. Oh, bontot aku dah leper, tak sepower dulu. Hahahaha. Korang tak caya tengok esok.

Salam Ramadhan

OK. I just love showing my cute baby off, hehe. So first off, some overdue pictures.

This is from when Emma was hospitalized for jaundice. The hairband was used to cover her eyes, not as a fashion accessory.

Although I did find it cute and eventually bought one for her, hehe. Muka dia juga ada sedikit sebanyak rashes, probably from my milk.

Ini dia cara penggunaan sebenar hairband tersebut. Kui kui kui, tido tebogel dan terbongkang selama tiga malam dalam air cond yang agak sejuk.

Mooooving on, this is Emma nursing hihihi. Sangat comel.

The following two pictures are of Emma sleeping. I do not know why the heck does she sleep like that! The second picture makes her look like she's dancing, kan? Ni during afternoon naps, when she's not swaddled.

Ini seorang Emma yang sangat chubby. Macam Sin Chan pun ada jugak, kan? Hohoho.

Ini masa berendoi. Habis rambut Emma ditarah-tarah sesuka hati. Kami tak cukur licin. Ikutkan aku cukur licin bagus sikit, nampak kemas. Mak Zufri tak mau. Biarlah. Dia yang sponsor sume, ikut je lah. Hahaha.

Kikiki lepas cukur jambul kena pakai bedak sejuk. Bouncer tu moyang dia yang bagi. Semoga panjanglah umurnya.

And finally, a closest to smiling picture yang sempat ditangkap.

Selamat berpuasa kepada semua. Semoga Ramadhan ini lebih baik daripada yang lepas-lepas.

My last post on giving birth

Sigh. As if FOUR nights in the hospital wasn't enough, I had to stay another THREE days last week because Emma had jaundice. Alhamdulillah everything's fine now and we're back home.

OK. So a friend of mine came visiting last weekend and get this. I was chastised by her MOTHER, commenting that "kalau duduk depan PC lama2 time pantang takut meroyan". Hmm? Meroyan is, of course, postpartum depression so I seriously do not know how spending some time on line every week will make me depressed. No offence eh Min, cuma aku perlu menyuarakan kemusykilan di minda aku.

Truth be told, I had a mild case of depression after giving birth, but that was on my 3rd day being a Mummy. Looooong time before I started surfing the web. I suddenly felt weighed down, like Emma was draining all my energy. And worrying about my stitches, and feeling uncomfortable because of the heat and all the sweating. So I just laid down and cried. For a good half an hour. Hohoho. But then everything went back to normal. I said it was mild.

Hahaha today I heard my mother in law gossiping with my next door neighbour. Dia kata dalam pantang takleh kena hujan. Then dia tanya, kuat ke meneran? D-uhh memanglah kuat meneran kan, kalau tak canne anak nak keluar tak? Tapi ibu mertuaku dengan pantasnya menjawab, tak depa kena tarik dia kluaq pasai dia takdak tenaga nak teran. Kesian.

Huh?

Ibu mertua aku ni kan, suka macam tu tau. I just shook my head in disbelief (as I tend to do a lot around her) and went back inside. Dia suka cakap macam aku ni takde tenaga lah, lemah lah, kesian lah mak dah takde, kesianlah tak reti salin pampers anak, tak reti mandikan anak. What she doesn't understand is that for everything that I do not do, is the opportunity for her to do. Mengerti enggak? And where did she get the story that I had a forceps delivery? I pushed Emma out all by myself. I had all the energy.

Oh aku tak cerita, aku amek epidural hehe. Taulah, kena induce. Tiba-tiba jek contractions dah 2 minit sekali. Tak sempat nak buat persediaan, hehe. Mungkin jika aku dikurniakan anak buat kali kedua, aku tak naklah epidural. Serious tak tau bila nak teran. Tu yang lima kali teran baru keluar tu. Siap bidan tu warning kalau dah 20 minit teran tak keluar jugak, saya panggil doktor masuk dan suami puan kena keluar. Hahaha siot je. Terus keluar si Emma tu. Siap aku teran keluar uri sekali hempap anak aku. Kihkihkih.

Kaitannya cerita aku ni. Ok, ok. I promise this shall be my last entry on giving birth. Lepas ni aku cerita pasal erm whatever else I can think of.

My Baby You..

Well hello there, the one who still reads my blog. Hoho been quite some time eh? Come, let me tell you a story.

I had an antenatal checkup (my first ever there) at Putrajaya Hospital on Tuesday, 29th July. I was to be warded that afternoon and induced (paksa beranak) the next day, and if that doesn't work out then operate lah nampaknya. Now let me tell you, any inhibitions you might have just melt away when you're in the hospital for giving birth. They inserted prostin (ubat induce) into my erm tempat beranak not once, but three frickin times ok! And not just three prostins, but six! The first time was a shock, apatah lagi the procedure was done by a male doctor (tau2 je lah, tangan lelaki kan besar). The 2nd and 3rd times was better perhaps because I was used to it. When that didn't work, I was given not one, but two sweeps untuk mempercepatkan bukaan rahim. Ah, what is a sweep eh? A sweep is where they massage your uterus to make it soft. Seriously, depa masuk tangan godok2 dalam tu. Hahaha bodoh sungguh. Why lah am I telling this story..

That was on Wednesday and Thursday. Come Friday morning, they said yay! Let's break your waterbag! So diorang pecahkan air, I was wheeled into the labour room and at 12.51 little Almas Amelia was born.

Hehe Almas means Intan you know. Amelia means aspirasi. So my baby girl grows into a gem of a girl with high ambitions and hopefully the means to reach her dreams.

Here she is.

Precious, eh?

First, BREAKING NEWS!

ADAM WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR SWALLOWING A 10SEN COIN EARLY THIS MORNING! AND I WOKE UP LATE SO I DIDN'T GO TO WORK! YAY!

So we went to Alamanda instead. Hohoho. Then I'm cooking dinner for some friends tonight. Can't wait. Hope they like what I prepared. Hope they eat meat. Well maybe except for Anies. Dia can vegetarian.
