jatuh menimpa tangga

kemarin aku mc.


..sebab jatuh tangga :(
dah la tgh dukung athirah time tu!

LUCKILY (alhamdulillah) athirah tak jatuh/ terhempap (oleh muatan berat maknya).

pagi2 isnin time siap2 nak pegi keje (ari isnin haruslah kelam kabut sket kan). time turun tangga, mata dok tgk meja kat bawah tu cari ubat selsema athirah. tibe2 rase dah melayang (totally out of control) sbb tersadung tali beg yg letak kat atas tangge tu. to make it worse, terpijak skali kain baju kurung sendiri then tebaboooow! tau2 je dah landing kat anak tangga bawah skali.
sakittttttttt gilaaaaaaaaaaaaaa okkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

tulang blakang baek punya landing kat bucu tangga, montot kat lantai. sebbaik tgh pegang athirah dgn dua2 tangan (dia tgh tido). tak leh imejin kalau dia terlepas/tercampak isk isk nauzubillah simpang malaikat empat puloh empat :(

terus dia terjaga, tapi tak nangis. mak dia yang nangis.
ayah dia dah pergi kerja. macam mana??

dah la on that very morning (time pumping) tgk berita kat tv - ida nerina kena operate tulang blakang dia injured sbb jatuh tangga kat rumah dia. danggg! komfem la aku sgt panikk! tak berani nak bergerak2. mcm2 pikir time tu..

- erkk.. patah ke tulang blakang aku ni?!!

- alamak engine kete dah start. kalo ada bangla potong rumput lalu kalo dia curi kete abis laa.. semua laptop, handbag sume dalam tu!

- nak jerit panggil abg sebelah (dia kat luar tgh masukkan anak2 dia dalam kete) apakah kata pengganti diri yg patut digunakan? "abang, sakittt bang, tolong?" iskk tak sesuayy..

- athirah plis jangan nangis sbb mommy tak larat nak bangun

air mate dah berjurai2 dah time tu. sakit & helpless.
took about 5 mins, then try bangun. ok.. boleh berdiri lagi wpon sengal sana sini.
hidup mesti diteruskan jua.

bajet tak injured, gi hanta athirah kat rumah babysitter. bila drive rasa menyucuk2 sakit. call daddy mengadu. malas nak call awal2 sbb tau nanti mesti dia patah balik ke rumah. pagi tu dia ada apa ntah urgent kat ofis so tanak la kacau. cakap kat dia nak pegi check la kat klinik takut la apape kan.

pegi klinik doktor check ada lebam2 & scretches kat blakang badan. dia tanya nak inject tak?
aku tanye sakit tak? (tatau la nape aku tanye soalan bodoh ni kan) mestilah sakit kan.
doctor kate kalo tanak inject dia kasik ubat je la, tapi lambat sikit ilang sakit tu. & dia bagi mc suruh rest elok2.

sampai ke arini sakit la plak. nyesal tak inject! :(
tapi dah buat appointment dgn makcik urut tghari ni. komfemmm sakit ah tskk..! harini gi keje siap bawak kain pelikat daddy (tak jumpe kain batik) & tshirt.

dah 2 mlm tak best tido sbb gerak sikit je sakit sane sini. last nite even worse sbb dah start sakit kat pinggang/rusuk (aku pon tak sure). hopefully everything ok & nothing serious.

my lesson learnt:
- neverrrrr letak apape bende pon lagi kat atas tanggga!
- mesti turun tangga tengok anak tangga. fokus!

sakittt.. isk iskk~~

washable or disposable?

mommies, i need your help on this..

coz i'm starting to get annoyed on disposable br*astpad price.
lagi mahal drp pad ok! tsk..!

smlm abis around rm70 utk beli disposable breastpad sahaje. tu pon dah save byk (parkson are having their baby fair promotion), so i managed to grab a few boxes..
i bought pigeon & NUK brand, sbb ada promotion buy 1 free 1. saje nk test ok ke tak compared dgn brand2 lain yg aku penah beli. saje nak test. apela yg best sgt sampai mahal berdesingg kan. *marah sedikit*

sblm ni brand yg aku slalu beli- tollyjoy (not bad, tp slalu out of stock), bebe (murah), & pureen (kecik tp senang renyuk ;p). rasenye those are the cheapest among others in market.

so now, i'm thinking of starting using a washable ones.
(sblm ni tak penah try sbb pikir macam malas nak cuci2 kan ;p)

ada sesiapa yg guna washable breastpads? errr.. ke semua org guna kecuali aku je? ;p
ok tak?
kenapa nmpak mcm tebal semacam aje?
selalu basuh tak lari ke shape dia?
senang kering tak?
any recommended brand?

pls share ya? ;)
tq tq muah2~!

A Tutu for Athirah Hani :)

err..errr camne nak start eh? ;p

FYI, I had never entered any online contest (via blogger) before.
It’s either I’m too busy or (maybe) I just don’t even bother ;p

But right after I found out that MySuperKids (MSK) is organizing a Win a Tutu! Picture Contest, i knew that i have to participate! :D I really want a tutu for my girl!


Why Athirah Hani should get a tutu?

because today is Athirah's 5 months birthday! ;)
so, to make it extra special & memorable, i had decided to participate in this interesting contest. dgn harapan someday in future Athirah will know & also terharu bila tau mommy dia take effort to join an online contest (1st time ever) just to get her a beauwwtiful tutu!
eventhough she is not even walking yet (baru tau meniarap je), it's always been my dream to wear her a tutu!
(hey, pakai tutu barulah nampak lebih stylo bila meniarap ;p)

(pic from Google)

for me, tutu is just sooo 'girlie-girl things', a must-have-item for every little girls. dulu masa mommy kecik2 teringin sgt nk pakai tutu ('riben ropol2' ;p) especially during birthday celebrations.
tapii duluuuu manela ada kedai yg jual custom made tutu.
but nowwww... tutuworkshop makes every little girl's dream comes true!! they will design the custom tutu made to your specifications! *best kan?!*

nice tutu(s) by tutuworkshop

oh it just make me so excited when thinking of 'decorating' Athirah with a custom tutu! mestii cuteeee sangat! previously i bought this dress for athirah (pic below) but it wasn't fluffy enuff to be a tutu ;p in fact, the dress is size 1! (for 1 year young girl). couldn't find dress like this for baby 0-12months. tapi mommy beli je la, maybe Athirah can wear this dress again on her 1st birthday party later ;p

besides, Athirah's uncles & aunties loves snapping her pictures. 2 pics above was captured by auntie nurul during athirah's aqiqah ceremony :)
if Athirah get to win a lovely tutu, confirmmm lebih byk gambar comel seperti di atas akan dapat diambil! ;) i wish to have an outdoor portraiture for her wearing a tutu. contohnya macam gambar2 ni (dah ada idea nak suruh athirah posing mcm mana) *matilaa veranganss..! ;p

(pic from Google)
*iskk gerammnya tgk baby2 cute ni! cubit sketttt*

so, auntie lyna (and other juriess too) pleassseee let Athirah Hani win a tutu!
*ok now i'm getting over excited ;p but yeah, it would be luvly to see my girl in a tutu:)

Lastly, a special message from athirah..

tutututututututu~~
tata! ;)

tidak lagi normal

somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby...



somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, 'normal' is history...!


hehe.. betul betul betul!

yay jumaat!

2 minggu ni, rase legaaa sgt bila sampai hari jumaat.
jumaat means kurang sket tekanan nak mengestok EBM untuk athirah.

semuanya sbb workload yg agak melampau 2-3 minggu lepas. asek kena stayback kat opis sampai malam, so timing mengepam pun dah lari huhuuhu.. stok frozen ebm berkurang sbb hubby kena feed athirah sementara menunggu mommy nye yg busy ni balik from opis. (imejin mommy balik dari opis dgn br*ast bengkak2 sbb tak sempat nak pam :( sakit i tell yewww~!)
opis aku mcm dah jadi culture meeting 6pm, 8pm, 8.30pm *stress ok*. yg buat tak sempat nak pump tu bila meeting petang bersambung2 dgn next meetingnya. sempat break utk semayang maghrib je. nak curi2 pumping pun tak sempat :(

culture BF (pumping) mmg takde langsung kat opis aku ni (or at least kat floor aku). mmg takde ibu2 mengepam. in fact, x de ruang yg sesuai utk mengepam. (nasib baik aku ada bilik sendiri so senang sket nak buat operasi)
bila drg terjumpe aku tgh basuh corong ke, or tau aku mengepam ke, drg mcm ...(aku pon tatau camne nak explain reaction drg tu) tapi lebih kurang camni aa:

kak A- tak sakit ke pakai eletric pump?
kak B- eh, ada susu lagi ke baby dah 5 bulan?!
kak C- wah hebat nya u still breastfeeding :)
kak D - serioussssss?! u breastfeeding lagii?

tapi anugerah komen terhebat jatuh kepada soalan kak XYZ ini:

"eh ape tu? tapis air ke?" (me'refer' kpd corong pump)
*ye kak, saya baru lepas tapis teh tarik. kaww punya!

hikhik. klaka pun ade.
tapi tu la, pumping mmg bukan culture ibu2 kat sini. so drg mcm pelik sket aa tgk kan.

roughly BF routine aku everday:
6am- direct feeding
1x pumping after smyg subuh: ~5 oz
1x pumping time lunch hour: ~10 oz
1x pumping lps balik keje: ~10 oz
lepas maghrib until athirah tido - direct feeding
if athirah tido awal, another pumping session (sbb dia tak bgn mlm)

meaning setiap hari aku mengepam minimum 20 oz. ini adakah excuse utk makan byk Tu stok utk hantar ke rumah babysitter athirah esoknya. 8botol x 3.5oz everyday. kalau athirah minum kurang 8 botol, stok lebih boleh carry fwd or frozenkan. tapi yg jadi masalahnya skang, bila timing pumping aku dah lari, EBM pun berkurang. Bila stok EBM berkurang, aku terpakse amik stok yg frozen utk top up bekal athirah kat rumah babysitter.

stok frozen EBM last 2 weeks:

wpon dah tak banyak yg tinggal, at least takde la aku susah hati sgt.

tapi kemarin tinggal 3 botol 3.5oz je!!! huwaaa tertekan :( rase nak nangis pun ade :(

sebbaik arini dah jumaat, lega la sikit. at least weekend boleh memerah dgn jayanya hehe.. caiyok2.. kena top up banyak ni.

so far tak penah makan apape supplement lagi utk boost up milk supply, just minum air masak byk2, susu HL, milo+susu tepung panas pagi & sebelum tido. alhamdulillah so far milk supply masih banyak (cuma byk tak byk pumping je). hopefully dapat continue exclusive BF sampai umur dia 6 bulan (perancangan jangka pendek).
InsyaAllah..

walaupun penat banyak sikit untuk maintain exclusive breastfeeding ni, tapi bila tgk baby kita membesar dgn air susu sendiri, rasa puasss sangat :)
Alhamdulillah..

ghost 2

oh plis plis bagitau ada org tgk citer ghost 2 kat 8tv, ahad malam?



penat saspenn tgk cite ni.
