airees & aidan

see i told ya.. now airees da pandai gelak. lagi 2 bulan da tumbuh gigi & da boleh makan. huwaaa cepat betul kan? 

time goes by fast so be sure to spend plenty of time with your loved ones :-) 

4 months & 2 days old lil airees

abang aidan & airees

oh selalu citer pasal airees kan. lupa pulak nk update pasal aidan. aidan's vocab taklah sebagus his peers tapi adala improvement sikit sikit. especially lepas balik london. makin cepat tangkap bila kita sebut. tapi vocabs aidan banyak english. kat school la tu rasanya dia belajar. cos kat rumah kitorang cakap bm ja. heheh ingat nak ajar jugak kecek kelate sikit-sikit.

tengok la camna kan karang pening pulak si aidan ni :-p tapi peliklah camne orang boleh ajar anak dia 2-3 bahasa tu. i nk ajar 1 bahasa pun payah. hmmmm

whaaaat? airees dah 4mth?

dah 2 bulan okie tak update blog. busy sangat ke jadi stay at home mom ni? :p

airees da masuk 4 mth dah pon. da pandai gelak2 & meniarap da pun mek ni. tapi petite ja. baju still pakai 0-3mth. berat pun baru 4.8kg. tak pa lah as long as she's healthy, Alhamdulillah  

hmmm tak tahu nak update apala. so awkward cos dah lama sangat i tak update. 

i guess i'm gonna upload few photos from our recent family holiday lah. da basi da pon huhuhu. the trip was last month anyway. tapi takpalah. upload je la. btw it was our first 13hrs flight with 2mth airees & 2yo abang aidan. phew...tak suka betul dok dalam flight lama-lama. nasib baik lah both of them behaved well. masa nak depart ja airees nangis kejap. prolly due to the pressure. pity lil airees. abang aidan macho all the way. hehe

yuhuuuuuu!!!i dah habis pantang y'all. finally it's over. phewwwwww lama sungguh rasa 44 hari tu. i don't mind bab bab kena pantang makan tu but pantang berkurung tu sungguh menyiksakan :p eheheh

so hari ke 45 tu, i dah keluar dah. i pegi ambik mykid and buat passport airees. passport siap within one hour ja sekarang. sungguh efisyen imigresen malaysia. good job! then i bawak airees pegi circum kat prof dato' dr hamid arshat. aidan dulu pun circum ngan dr hamid. tp baby girl takda la sampai demam. kejap ja sakitnya. even for baby boy pon within 4 days tu the ring tu dah tanggal and luka pun da sembuh :) pap smear ja i tak buat lagi. phobia lagi plis episiotomy tu :p tunggu lah 3 bulan lagi ke.

oh ya! i'm officially a stay at home mom (SAHM) now :D tercapai juga cita-cita nak jadi sahm. jangan jeles ya working moms. i dah takda monday & friday blues laaa sekarang. ehehhe. so yea...tapi am not gonna be that stay at home mom yang dok relax-relax ja. we're (me & my partner) working on a lil project now. tapi takleh la announce sekarang. tunggu everything dah settle. then we will annouce it kay? eheheh so excitedddddd!! tunggu ya ;-)

eh oklah. got to go now. i nak mandikan airees

airees irisa - hari ke 45

airees's first passport - eheheh nak gi mana ya? :)

our first family dinner kat luar. ok i belum kurus, harap maklum

confinement lady

makcik mar is super duper awesome. sedihnyaaaa cos esok my makcik mar dah nak balik. 22 days berpantang di bawah jagaan makcik mar terasa bagaikan puteri.

bangun pagi, my breakfast & air mandian herba dah ready. lepas i mandi, airees plak makcik mar mandikan. lepas airees mandi, minum susu & tidur. i plak berurut & bertungku. if tak berurut,i akan bertangas, berlulur. bestnyaaaaaaa. lepas dah siap semua rehat kejap then lunchtimeeeeee. makcik mar masak best sangat. my favourite grill salmon & ikan bawal stim. yummeh patutla berat pun slowwwww je turun

lepas ni dah kena jadi independent woman lah. nasib baiklaaa da nak 30hari berpantang :p

btw,i dapat makcik mar ni from jemari tradisional. i amik stay in package for 21 days. ingat nak extend sampai habis pantang sekali kak rozi cakap da tak boleh cos ada orang da book makcik mar.sedihnyaaaaa :-( insyaAllah jumpa lagi ya makcik mar, 2 tahun lagi :p

don't mess with me

wah. tajukkkk macam nak pukul orang. memang pon!

alahai..baru 18 hari ke? OMG seriously rimas lah time confinement ni.

i really don't mind pantang makan, kena pakai bengkung ke kena bertungku ke boobs sakit ke tapi yang paling paling paling tak boleh bla BABY BLUES!

these past few days ni i think i'm sooooooo moody, over sensitive, cepat terasa, cepat marah, cepat sakit hati, cepat nak nangis, cepat menyampah kat orang, segala mak nenek lah u name it. benda-benda remeh temeh pon i nak nangis.  arghhhhh. my twitter followers mesti menyampah nak mati with all my tweets. tapi thats the only place i nak meroyan. bahahahah soweee ye :p

susah nak explain baby blues ni. tried to explain it to my hubs soooooo many times but i don't think he understands it. macam dia yang kena baby blues jugak adalah. haih...i really really really wish he could understands it more :-(

oklah will update more about my confinement later lah. seriously i takda mood.

READ: THE BABY BLUES

i guess i'm one of the unlucky ones!! T____________________T

cepatlaaaaaaaaaaaaah habis pantang oi!!

now that i'm a mom of two

hi everyone!  finally i have the time to update my blog. huhu ni pun curi-curi update :p

my baby girl finally dah ada her birth cert yesterday. terpaksa pegi JPN 2 kali cos ada problem with her POB. beranak kat rumah tapi dr pegi isi SDMC.  so my hubs kenala pegi buat police report klu nak buat jugak POB alamat rumah. of cos lah nak buat POB tempat sebenar kan? nasib baik we all ada bukti i bersalin kat rumah :p  

anyways, my second birth was definitely an easy one. compare dengan the first one (a loooooooooong epidural vacuum birth). orang kata preggy no 2 senang la kan cos dah ada experience & tau what to expect la yadayada.but no no no. each birth and each baby are an entirely new experience (for me la) :) punyala i buat birth plan awal-awal based on previous experience tuptup lain pulak jadinya

airees irisa's birth story

august 18, 2012 / 29 ramadhan 1433H (saturday)
6.58 am (birth cert stated 7.15am cos masa the nurses amik detail kitorg agak-agak je, lepas i kuar hospital je i terus check cctv to confirm the time of birth & nak tengok balik kejadian epik tu ehehehe)

37 weeks day 5

4.30 am - bangun masak for sahur as usual everytime pegi toilet, i akan check whether da ada dat bloody show ke tak. still no show & no contraction watsoever

5.15 am - sakit perut.btw masa sahur tu i cakap kat my hubs dat nanti raya nanti takyah la gi jln jauh2 takot i terbersalin dalam kereta macam my friend.then my hubs cakap "awak due hujung bulan kan.paling cepat pon saya rasa lepas bday aidan" hmm okay. conversation tu tergantung cos i tak tahan nak gi toilet :p

5.40 am - sementara tunggu subuh, baring2 then sakit perut lg. pegi toilet lagi. still no bloody show. tp i rasa perut i mengeras. ingat braxton hicks je.

6.00 am - my hubs suggest pegi je hospital since dah brp kali i masok toilet. i ckp "it's okay. sakit perut biasa je.false alarm kot"

6.15 ish am - sakit perut lagi. dis time i da rasa somethg wrong. cepat2 i ckp oklah jomla gi hospital. my hubs baru nak kelam kabut pack his stuffs. huhu eh i pon my hospital bag tu i blum masukkan lagi toiletries, slippers, charger.

after da kemas2 (aidan still tido), mandi (sempat shampoo rambut ok! haha), sakit perut nak membuang lagi. dlm hati i.ni sakit perut salah makan ke apa ni. tp takpala pegi je la hospital. i kuar toilet tengok my hubs da masukkan bags dlm  kereta. then dia mandi. i double check my checklist in case ada benda tertinggal.

6.30 ish am - i pegi toilet lg before nak gerak.takot dalam kereta tiba2 nak gi toilet. huhu my hubs masa ni siapkan bag aidan, his susu & masukkan aidan dlm his car seat.and masa ni la my waterbag broke. masa i tgh membuang tu, tiba-tiba dengar bunyi "POP" (sowee, yuckies i kno). dlm hati i "hmmm ni mesti baru 4cm ni, sempat ni gi hospital" tapi masa ni mmg tiba2 rasa sakit perut sangat sangat.kalau boleh taknak bangun dari toilet bowl tu. then my hubs tanya lambat lagi ke. i cakap i ketuban da pecaaaaaaah. dia da start panik. bila i bangun tu darah dah menitik2. banyakkkkkkkkkkkk! lagi la kami panik. omg sumpah panik nak mati. my hubs cepat2 call my family (nk suruh tunggu kat hospital pantai) then cepat2 suruh i turun bawah(of cos with his help)

masa i nak masuk kereta tu, tiba-tiba i dapat rasa something macam kepala baby keluar. i da panik tahap gaban dah masa ni. takot jadi apa2 kat baby je. my hubs suruh i baring je kat atas rumput garden. tak sempatlah nak masuk balik dlm rumah panik2 camtu.atas rumput pon atas rumput lah. then my hubs check n mmg betul kepala baby dah nampak.okayyyyyyy now kami dua-dua tersangat sangat sangat panik. my neighbour pulak dua-dua xda kat rumah. jerit mintak tlg pon xda sapa2 dengar. i called my mum suruh tolong call ambulan.

6.50am - my hubby suruh push je. dia da ready. i think i sempat cakap "eh biar betul awak ni" bahahaha.anyway nak taknak i push je lah.2 kali push baby pon selamat keluar. then my hubs tepuk2 her bump & i boleh dengar baby nangis. masa tu i felt soooooooooooo relieved. walaupon i xdapat tgk muka baby lagi at least i could hear her voice. then i heard my hubs azan.  

i called my mum again cakap baby da kuar. then ada neighbour datang. tanya what happened. terkejut beruk la uncle tu datang-datang tengok baby dah keluar. dengan darah banyak nya. uncle tu tolong ambik towel & check aidan  dalam kereta. nasib baik dok senyap je. i pon call balik ambulans coz lambat gila k ambulans sampai. i called 999 and tanya mana ni ambulan. dah terberanak lama ambulan tak sampai2. boleh tak operator tu jawab sambil 'lenggang lenggok'(eh betol ke? tak tahu nak describe apa ni) geram i. then boleh pulak diorang taknak hantar i kat SDMC diorang insist nak hantar i kat PPUM. padahal sdmc dekat gila kot ngan my house. so i cakap takyahla hantar ambulan. i called sdmc suruh diorang hantar ambulans. useless je call 999 ni.

oh btw, misti u all tertanya-tanya what happened to the umbilical cord kan? huhuhu my hubby hold our baby with the cord still intact sampailah the ambulans came. the hospital dah pesan jangan buat apa-apa with the cord if tak tahu nak buat apa.

8ish am - ambulans pun sampai (my family dari bangsar sampai dulu ok! believe it or not), my hubs dah lenguh2 dok pegang baby. nak bergerak takot terbelit plak.

lepas paramedics tu potong tali pusat baru lah i dapat tengok my baby :) uri terpaksa keluarkan kat sdmc cos i dah taklarat nak push :(

so there you go. airees irisa's birth story. still couldn't believe it i bersalin dekat rumah with no epidural, no gas or whatsoever. kat garden plak tu. and my dearest husband yang jadi pak bidan. i am sooooo proud of you dr.ashril. nasib baik my doktor ni tak pengsan tengok darah :p

syukur alhamdulillah semuanya selamat :-)

dearest Mohamad Aidan Ilhan, I can't believe you are 2 already! soon you will have many things in life to worry about. till that happens, sit back & enjoy this special day as a toddler while you can. HAPPY BIRTHDAY sayang 

sorry aidan cos your 2nd birthday ni mama tak dapat nak buat pape. huhuhu your lil sister decided to come out earlier than expected.

betul lah orang kata second baby memang awal. 36 weeks pregnancy tu you have to prepare EVERYTHING!!!!!! luckily sempat pack my hospital bag if not tak tahu lah camne. i terbersalin our lil girl kat garden rumah okay!! believe it or not?? and my husband jadi my gynae. OMG sampai sekarang i takley nak caya. will blog about that later cos jap lagi baby and abang bangun so i kena mandi cepat-cepat. 

by the way, Salam Aidilfitri.Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Eid Mubarak!Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin

full term!

hello august!

THIS IS IT! this is is zhe month! our 4th anniversary, aidan's 2nd birthday, andddddddd baby #2 is coming anytime now. prolly next week? tak pun baby raya? or sama birthdate wif aidan? or merdeka baby? whenever it is i dah kena bersiap-sedia now. i've to get mentally prepared too. the pain, baby blues, baby colic, engorge boobies, sore nipples, sleepless nites, every 3 hours milky session, severe constipation yadayadayada..arghhhhhh 44 days of pantang which i really really really hate!

tapiiiiiiiiii at the same time tak sabarnya nak jumpa baby #2. 3rd trimester is knackering! penatnyaaa ya ampun.toksah cakaplah. jalan sikit pon dah breathless inikan plak kena main kejar-kejar ngan aidan. backache pon memang dah jadi BFF sangat dah. dizziness,headaches and braxton hicks pon my BFF jugak sekarang. nasib baik next week dah last week i gi ofis. tak larat dah nak drive sebenarnya. men memang takkan faham what we're going through ni. sabar je lah. diorang takkan faham how penat is our "penat". diorang ingat penat macam lari marathon kot bila dapat tidur tu penat tu terus hilang. arggh stress ok. sometimes bila i komplen kat my hubby then dia cakap "biasalaaa, mengandung". hmmmm maybe dia pun dah tak tahu nak cakap apa dah kot. hahaha

anyways, alhamdulillah baby's hospital bag i dah pack. cuma my hospital bag je la belum ready. i can't decide baju apa nak pakai nanti kat hospital and baju nak balik rumah nanti (hahaha boleh tak?). oklah got to go now. wish me luck k. doakan i selamat bersalin. eheheheh hopefully dis is not my last post before i pop :p

sharing is caring ;-)

terjumpa this useful blog the other day. sangat-sangat berguna untuk ladies yang tengah preggy, nak bersalin & orang tengah confinement. so ladies, please visit this blog yea http://hidayahmk.blogspot.com/

here are some of her entries dat i really really like

• Jadual Makanan Yang Boleh Dimakan dan Tidak Boleh Dimakan Semasa Pantang 
btw,  i don't take ayam & daging at all masa pantang. takut gatal. cos i ada stitches. after 44 days tu baru berani makan. tapi if  u berani, silakan. huhuhu 

• Senarai Barang Masakan Semasa Pantang Untuk Dibeli  


• Resipi Semasa Pantang 
i takda minum air pelik pelik masa pantang. takut termuntah coz i try minum pati ikan haruan pon tak ley bla haha.tapi i suka air akar herbanika from nona roguy. campur honey sikit. yummms. 

BTW, i dah 33 week yo! dah kena pegi check up every 2 weeks. tinggal lagi 3 or 4 check ups je T.T

definitely gonna miss my gynae and his friendly & bubbly staffs. argggh i hate this feeling. btw, nanti my gynae nak perform umrah & insyaAllah he'll be back on 27 aug. 6 days before my edd. adoi. harap-harapla my baby boleh tunggu otherwise i kena bersalin dengan dr.idris. i suka prof dato' hamid arshat ni coz nnti time dalam labour room tu dia akan ajar i selawat & also selawat sama-sama with me. klu tak misti tahpape la i baca. in fact masa baby keluar pon terus dia azankan then barula my hubby azan lagi sekali. my hubby pon selesa ngan prof. he's like a father to us. banyak bagi nasihat & tips tips kesihatan.

dr idris nnti tak tahula camne. must be really really awkward coz dahla tak pernah jumpa, then tiba-tiba nak kena bersalin ngan dia. oh nooooo! *maluuuuuuuuuu*

baby stuff? semua dah ready dalam almari baju-baju baby pon dah basuh. nasib baikla baju aidan dulu i tak beli blue. so yay. baby #2 bley pakai. jimat banyaaaaaaaaak ok. baju baby kecik je tapi mahal. dahla pakai kejap je. hmm.. what else, barang momma? almost ready..heheh then bolehla kemas-kemas & pack masuk dalam hospital bag ;) oh..baru teringat i belum check my medela swing tu. bley on ke tak. dah lama tak on. klu takley on kena la gi hantar service. huhuhu ok lah got to go now. bye
 

31 weeks

OMG OMG OMG dah 31 weeks ke? takutnyaaaaaaaaa!

i have like erm another 7 weeks to go. aidan dulu sampai 38 weeks je. 36 weeks tu kena bersiap-sedia dah segala-galanya.

geez. baru lah i paham why some of my friends yang dah ada anak 2/3 tu takot sangat nak bersalin. FOBIA okay! especially time nurse & dr nak check dilation tu. adoiiiiii. macam nak sepak je nurse & dr tu! well, i just hope everything runs smoothly. Insyaallah.

btw, at 31 weeks i survived 13 hours kl-lhr-kl flight with my 2 yr old *phew* masa beli tix tu of cos lah i dah check and confirm dengan MAS whether i ni boleh lagi ke naik flight. karang tak pasal-pasal dah beli tix tak leh la plak naik flight kan?

so yeah. for MAS, a pregnant passenger with an uncomplicated pregnancy may travel up until the 35th week(international flights) and doctor's letter should be carried confirming that a pregnant passenger is fit to travel, along with the anticipated due date.

preggy mamas - pls refer here for useful tips flying while pregnant tips

i use these socks to prevent DVT. kat any pharmacy ada jual

if you're traveling with a toddler, night flights are the best option for long haul journey. other tips pls refer here best flight tips for families

here are some of our photos. ni gambar from my phone. i'll update more photos later k :)
