Difficult time

Breast-feeding and being an auditor working mom is one tough job. I was told that it is going to be difficult, but I totally underestimate the process. Juggling between the two exhaust me, sometimes I feel like giving up especially when I heard comments:   "Susu tak cukup, pam la lagi" (Not enough milk, pump more)   "Ha kalau susah, bagi la formula" (If its so difficult, just give formula milk)   "Asek meragam je dia, mesti nak melekat je la tu" (He's always fussy, he just want to latch all the time)   If you chose...

Love is when...

You know it is love when you drink milk 5 times per day just to ensure your body is producing enough supply of milk for your baby, You know it is love when you shove those bananas even though you really hate them so you get enough magnesium in your body You know it is love when you wake up at 4am in the morning just to do power pumping You know it is love when you just suck it up when your baby chew your nipple as if it is some kind of toys You know it is love when you pump your milk under the table in your audit room It is amazing how...

Living up to the expectations

The above is very difficult to do... #justsay...

Syomir Izwa RTW...

Still remember my wedding dress? The most famous Syomir Izwa deisgned his own RTW for Eid this year Being the biggest fan of his work (gah, Im still in love with my wedding dress!!!), and knowing how comfortable his designs are as well as how he is about quality of material. Ive decided this year I must purchase his RTW But the timing was not on my side, After giving birth, I still have some pounds to shed off Specifically in the tummy area, all mothers should know this So, with heavy heart, I have to let go 2 designs...

#adamkhaliff

Muhammad Adam Khaliff is already 3 months old now How time flies He is one healthy baby, and a happy one too Me being the typical new mom, everything about him is adorable. The way he smile, the way he giggled, the way he cry (well sometimes not so cute when he roaaarrrrr) I am thankful that he is a happy baby and not choosy He is still fully breastfeeding till now I really really hope I can breastfeed him the longest possible I love the bonding time that we have together Some pictures of my little angel When...

Criticism

Some take it well some may not Parenthood is a learning process, sure none of us dont like to be told what to do, what is wrong with whatever we are doing and the most disgusting thing of all is comparing who does it better But somehow, you cant run from the fact that someone else might do it better than you. Like I mentioned earlier, its a learning process. Kids are dynamic as well in nature. One day they may like your method, tomorrow they may not. Today Adam like it when I sing him some weird song that I created, yesterday it didnt work at all. The most important thing of all is to...

Deficiency

G6PD Have you heard about it? Well I havent until Adam was disgnosed with it It is not a disease but it is more like sometic genetically inherited from your parents and in this situation Adam inherited it from me I am a carrier but I do not experience neither the symptoms nor the allergy triggered by foods and medication G6PD deficiency is an inherited condition in which the body doesn't have enough of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, or G6PD, which helps red blood cells (RBCs) function normally. This deficiency can cause...

Confinement

Yes, I would like to talk about the long 44 days that mothers MUST go through. Confinement I am not too sure why its 44 days but rest assured its DAMN LONG Before giving birth, I always thought days will go by without me knowing it You know like eh dah 44 hari dah ke... (eh, its 44 days already? I cant tell) But let me tell you, Days go by pretty slow Nights especially, it seems longer now You checked your clock ah its 2am, next thing when your baby wake you up, you checked again hoping its already 6.30am NOT Its 3.45am in the morning Phewwwww There...

The 18hrs...

Okay, Phewwww, I can breath now Let me continue my story about my labour experience Warning! Too much picture The story began at 5.30am where my water broke I was sleeping and I remembered I had a dream about giving birth Little that I know that its actually for real At first I thought I peed and wet my bed Oh boy malu kot But suddenly the water flows were very strong and it came out terlalu banyak Then I told myself AMAGAAADD this is it Woke booTak up and his first reaction Relax...relax...relax (boleh la suruh relax cuba dia...

But not...

Counting Days...

Literally, I am in my 1-2 weeks away from meeting my lil hero If you know me well, you know that I hate waiting But this one, we have to wait and leave it to the Almighty above on the delivery time Theres nothing that we can do at this point rather than waiting anxiously... Weekly checkup is a must now that I am now in my late pregnancy, Ultrasound seems good and we hope and leave it to Allah for a beautiful and healthy baby for us to love and cherish for the rest of our lives You see, technology nowadays is awesome its too good to not to use it. Our parents did not have the chance to basically...
