Bila Dah Jadi Mak Mak

Salam semua kawan kawan :) 

Lately rasa macam banyak gila benda nak hapdet tapi masa den ni asyik suntuk je jah.. Macamana? :p

Just nak update gak a few things.. Baru baru ni pergi Kenduri Doa Selamat and Akikah kawan i, who is also married to my cousin.. Seronok, makan kambing! Hehehe!

Tapi tu la.. As our age gets older, macam macam perubahan kita lalu kan? Dulu masa zaman kanak kanak riang, semua pun nak enjoy ye.. Now dah jadi isteri and mak budak, dah takde nak enjoy sangat, tapi enjoy cara lain.. Bawah anak g kenduri akikah kawan, wedding, pastu tak lupa jugak birthday party anak kawan.. Hahah! 

By the way, nah I blanja gambar! 

A Much Vacation Needed

 

Hey there.. 

My baby and I were taken by my beloved husband to join him for a trip to Kemaman as he has something to do over the weekend. Since I am no longer working, (the fact that I am working actually, as a full-time house wife and lifetime Mom), I decided to follow.. My husband pun cakap it's about time for me to chill and relax since nak meraikan I habis pantang 44 hari kann :) 

By the way, we are all set up and left Shah Alam at 1120am and sampai tol Jabor at around 1445.. And drive punya drive, we arrived Resorts World Kijal dalam pukul 1530, quite a distance la from Kuantan, but hey we are still in Cherating. 

Lucky that we are given a good place to chill, though memang jauh pun. Takde mall, takde apa pun. Our room is just nice that we got the beach view plus pool view ok? Hehe. Tak sabar nak bawak baby ARW to swim, but the Abi said jangan dulu.. Hehe.. Ok ok, what about morning walk kan? :) along the beach gittewww :p 

Well, hope to share more nanti. Tungguuuuu 

It's My Baby's First Outings!

Salam semua!

Bonda Min kembali untuk membebel disinun.. Semoha disanun membaca dengan gumbira yahhh! :) 

Jadi.. I am already at my 52nd day being a mom which means mak Jemah dah habis pantang chuoolls.. Maksudnya, kalau kita bincang pasal pantang, kita ada pantang 44 hari, 60 hari and 100 hari.. Ok apa beza? Ada beza hokeh.. I promise, nanti i tepek perbezaan tu dekat belog ini ok?

Yang penting now I am excited sebab dah habis pantang 44 hari.. Makanya boleh la kita jenjalan.. Namun, jauh kat sudut benak hatiku, I tak berani la nak keluar sakan.. Nanti terkejut anak aku hoiii ;) 

Ok, so first outing lepas pantang *ehemm.. Maknanya, sebelum 44 haritu ada la jugak keluar.. Tapiiiii, jumpa doktor for check ups and also pergi rumah nenek husband, and also pergi rumah MIL kat Putrajaya (since I berpantang di Shah Alam kan).. Haha, macam langgar pantang je dah kann?*  was keluar pergi Setia City Mall, sebab nak temankan Haffby potong rambut, plus pergi ke Mothercare sale.. Alhamdulillah, baby was behaving well sangat.. 

And then, pergi wedding kawan Haffby pulak dekat Pulapot,Setapak..pon sama, baby asyik sleep, tido and zzzz je. I believe that all babies are like that for the first few months ye tak? 

On Sunday, we brought him to see his grandparents kat Selayang pulak..

Aiyo, very adorable :) 

Hari ni pada Hari Wesak pula, dia dibawa untuk join Birthday Lunch my uncle di restoran Haslam. Makanan dah la sedap!

Ok la, that's all I nak update.. Before I sign off, here are some pics for me to blanjer :) 

What is with the title : Mother

Emak, Mak, Mama, Ibu, Mummy, Umi, Bonda - maksud ni semua sama.. Which is a person who carries child for 9 months and changed their lifestyle forever to take care of the child..

Assalamualaikum! 

I am back.. I thought blogging would be easier for me to express and to jot down memorable experiences here but nahhhh ahhh it's not easy though.. I have respect and salute those blogger moms yang mampu share their tips other than taking care of their children at the same time.. As for ahkak, I have to wait for my ARW to sleep, then only I can bebel here and happens to be that hari ni dia tidur extra nyenyak :p

What I'm about to share here is based on my personal experience... some might have the same and some might have total different experience... so, here goes:

• Sebelum ada anak, tidur kita memang nyenyak. You put bomb sebelah pun belum tentu terjaga *nahh..ni kena jaga jaga naa.. buatnya suami mintak izin nak kahwin lain tang tidur ke kan..buatnya kalau kita terkata "OK", kan satu hal tu..hahah* BUT, bila dah ada anak.... walaupun you mengantuk macamana pun, bila anak u bunyi EK sikit je, you dah terjaga! :D 
• Sebelum ada anak, you can take all the time you want in the shower. Kata je nak buat konsert apa pun, nak nyanyi sampai jiran sebelah subscribe youtube channel kau pun boleh kak oii...tapi, bila dah ada anak, kau jangan harap nak mandi selama mungkin bila nanti... haaa, kalau dapat mandi 5 minit tu kira bagus la *tapi, I still wangi okay*
• Sebelum bergelar seorang mak budak. you tend to scroll instagram account yang jual barang make up, skirt kembang, tudung lilit lip lap lip lop and semua untuk you.. tapi bila dah ada anak, apa lagi... follow ig barang budak je manjang... pastu sibuk berangan nak pakaikan itu ini..untuk ANAK... diri sendiri pikir belakang babe!
• Kalau dulu sebelum ada anak, nak google semua benda yang merepek binti kerapu... seperti apa gossip terkini kat beautifulnara la, kat siakap keli and all lah... but now when you have a child with you. memanjang google pasal baby... such as "why does my newborn farts a lot", "is it normal for my newborn to poo seldomly" , "is it okay to breastfeed my baby when I'm on medication"..and so on! tak caya? tunggu la nanti kome jadi makkkk! :p

At the moment, macam tu je la kot yang I rasa I ingat untuk share sebab sebenarnya banyak... tapi kita pelan pelan kayuh la dulu ye tak? :D 

Personally, being a mom is beautiful sebab it teaches me to be patience- dalam segala hal.. dari karenah anak, or even people around you yang kadang kadang bagi you perangai seperti nak hempuk je diorang dengan pampers bayi itu... namun, kau akan hanya tersenyum luas sajoooo :D 

Breastfeeding Journey - I thought it was..

Hey there!

Since I am a mom now, most of my priorities are set up to different phase.. in a way, I have another priority to set focus on which is my newborn baby... 

Well, everyone knows that mommies' milk would be the best choice to be given to the baby as it is rich with benefits, I tell ya! From those younger days, I always thought that breastfeeding is easy peasy as the mommies could just offer the boobs the baby and tadaa, that's it... the baby will suck and drink all he wants like nobody's business!

BUT! when it comes to my personal experience, I found that breastfeeding is challenging and really test your patience to see whether or not you are in this or you give up.. my choice was: to try and not to give up! 

I guess the error that I did was to feed my baby with a formula milk plus bottle at a very early age - when he was only 4 days in the world! *however, I am lucky still that I managed to get him drink the colostrum as it it said to be very good for the baby!* 

So, as days went by... It hurts to see that your baby does not want to drink directly from the boobs, seriously ... I know very well mana salahnya, it.s actually my very own fault that I biar je orang bagi anak I formula milk and now, baby ARW is still learning to latch even though he's already a month old..

I am not sure whether this is considered as Relactation or what, but I am not giving up on this.. bukan nya badan kita takde susu, ada je tapi I think he's more satisfied minum straighht from the bottle yang deras je aliran susu kan? Lagipun bila pam and letak dalam botol pun, it's already 2 oz siap jadi member pun puas la minum...

I am currently at my second week trying very hard to produce more and more milk... while doing lots of reading and blog hopping from one to another... I'm proud that some blogger moms are willing to share their tips regarding their breastfeeding journey...

Among my readings, I found many tips and thankful for their tips... antaranya adalah:

1. Drink plenty of plain and warm water (say the least is 3L per day -- ni pun boleh tolong korang kurus ok)
2. Healthy Diet (eat healthy meals : fruits, carbo, protein, etc) 
3. Halba and Habatussauda (to increase more milk)
4. Susu (well basically, you need susu to produce susu right? :p )
5. Pam, Pam and Pan (every 2 to 3 hours - MESTI!)
6. Most importantly, positive thinking .. stay optimism!

I envy those who can feed their babies directly, but at the same time.. they are also my source of inspiration not to give up... hehe, as for this mission.. i have my own mantra.. which is "I can do this, I can. I can produce milk, I can. I want my baby to have exclusive breast milk (EBM), "

Friends, wish me luck as this whole journey of pam and feed are not easy! 

Well, I am thinking to write more... next entry perhaps? :D

By the way, for all the mommies to be out there... perhaps you wanna visit all these blogs for your reference... hey, not only mommies to be, but also for mommies who wished to do Relactation :) come on, together we can! :D

A New Title and Journey For Me :)

Assalamualaikum Semua :)

So, how have you guys been lately? True that I have been missing and being on the blog macam biskut chipsmore?.. Anyway, I was just too pack and lazy on previous weeks due to the sarat-ness of pregnancy which makes me feel like tak nak buat apa but to just lepak and tunggu masa baby nak keluar..

Biasa la.. Bila anak pertama ni, you get so excited and anxious to think about bila anak akan keluar, can you do it normal or kena csect jugak? Will i be able to take the pain or pain killers needed? Eh nanti nak teran tu kena diam ke kena jerit sekuat hati? Nanti kalau teran tu boleh tak aku make sure punggung tak terangkat untuk elak jahitan? Oh wow! Sangat banyak soalan and peringatan untuk diri sendiri SEBELUM masuk labour room ye! Tidak lupa juga kepada extra perasaan poyo i dimana I never liked hospitals because to me it's always not a place that I favour of lah... Jadi mula la pikir seperti jurujerawat, i mean jururawat yang kerek, loya buruk and macam macam lagi lahhhh 

Nak dipendekkan cerita... Pagi 13 Mac 2015, I had my exact 39th week of pregnancy punya check up... Masa tu I memang dah sarat, and I prefer to just keep myself quiet a lot sebab dah mula rasa sakit.. I always told myself not to be panic cepat sebab nak be more relax,, cewah.. 

So, moh ler kita jumpa my favourite doctor who knows my history - PCOS.. I have always did my monthly antenatal check up di Tropicana Medical Centre with Dr Arifah.. Why I like her? It's because bila I pergi jumpa dia for monthly check up, she always has solid reasons and firm answers towards all the curiosities that you have regarding badan seorang wanita ni..including hormon kita and all.. Alhamdulillah, memang tak pernah menyesal and also I think I am going to miss her a whole lot.. Hehe! And pulak I am happy as well sebab Haffby pun kata dia selesa dengan cara doktor ni.. So, conversation I dengan Dr Arifah on the morning of 13th March 2015 - 

Dr Arifah: Okay yasmin, saya dah tengok your ctg result.. And now saya nak tengok kedudukan baby and also your cervix whether or not there's any dilation 

Me: Okay doktor.. *nervous*

Dr Arifah: Alhamdulillah ye,position baby awak dah ready nak dikeluarkan dah ni.. Cantik sangat kalau beranak normal ni.. 

Me: Oh ye ke? Alhamdulillah.. Bapak baby ni beria cakap nak baby keluar hari Jumaat tapi saya rasa macam impossible  je doktor..

*Dr Arifah smiled and remained silent and signalled me to relax as she wants to check on the cervix*

Dr Arifah: Eh Yasmin! Dah terbukak 3 cm, awak nak beranak hari ni tak? Saya budget sebelum subuh baby awak inshaaAllah boleh dilahirkan.. Amacam? Nak tak? *dengan senyuman sempoi dia* 

Me: uhmm.. Boleh ek doktor? *nervous bertambah tambah wok*

Dr Arifah: eh apa pulak tak boleh? Boleh je. I think you balik rumah dulu.. Lepas solat Jumaat u datang dengan husband ye.. 

Me: senyum, angguk and speechless..

Keluar je dari bilik Dr Arifah, tangan ni terketar ketar dok piki mcm mana nak break the news to Haffby and also family.. Ahh.. Apa lagi.. Dengan bantuan kawan sekerja husband, I managed to talk to him *husband saya memang lemah bab charge handphone ni.. LOL*.. So he sounded tenang and he just said "Yang.. I'll be there ok.. Lepas solat Jumaat kita pergi ok?".. 

OK. Tu jawapan ku. My dad, especially is the most excited one that kept on reminding me to bring this and that.. Yang aku ni pulak dah berkemas.. Tapi blur satu mcm.. all i know i was waiting for my husband and bermonolog seorang diri.. Macam tak percaya nak upgrade title jadi seorang ibu,, phewh! 

Masa sampai hospital tu, terus dia tolak i ke labout suite, adehh! Mak punya la panic tak hengat sebab terpikir... Eh, aku tak sakit apa apa lagi kenapa nak hantar terus ke labour suite? I confused! 

Setibanya kat labour suite tu, nurse terus suruh tukar baju hospital and of kos diriku tak biasa.  Malu malu meow dengan aunty nurse tu.. Basically, normal procedure la.. Ctg scan and i was asked to chill je dalam bilik tu.. And yes, ditemani my husband.. Pukul 6, doktor kesayanganku yang best lagi disayangi, Dr Arifah datang untuk memecahkan air ketuban... Masa tu doktor macam pelik sebab I still tak rasa sakit sakit sangat.. Hehe

Tapi, bermula lah jam 7.30, sesi augmentation berlaku.. Pada mulanya dosage only 3ML per hour and lepas pukul 9 malam, dosage jadi 12 ML per hour.. SubhanALLAH masa tu hanya Allah je yang tau sakit dia rasa macamana.. Now I understand that pengorbanan ibu tu macamana... 

Alhamdulillah, lepas 4 jam rasa contraction yang semakin meninggi, jam 0110, anak sulung saya selamat dilahirkan.. Nama diberi adalah... Jeng jeng jeng. Next entry I will share more okay? 

Kesimpulannya, pengalaman mengandung itu indah, mengajar diriku untuk lebih kuat dan sabar serta muhasabah diri dalam apa jua keadaan serta jangan berhenti berdoa pada Allah SWT.. :) 

And the labour suite that I mentioned? It's simply a beautiful and wonderful moment for all mothers to be to deliver as it actually gave the stress free environment to deliver.. :) i simply love Tropicana Medical Centre, I simply sayang my gynea Dr Arifah, thank you Allah for making my first time experience as a mom worth it. 

Not to forget, my husband who's always there for me, my parents and parents in law, siblings and close friends.. Thank you very much for the prayers and supports.. 

Well, I can't wait to start writing new things and share new adventures here! And before i'm signing off.. I, hereby would like to announce that I, Sarah Yasmin Azizan, is officially a Bonda to a lovely baby boy :) Allahuakbar! :)
