...On surgery...

...On surgery...


Yesterday hubby went to SGH for his X-ray review. He was advised to go for a minor op, should say more to scope. He smsed me and I was shocked to hear that. Thought it would be nothing serious and will only do with theraphy. So his op will be on June 17. Luckily by that time my pantang pun dah over at least leh be with him while being treated.

Initially hubby was reluctant to go for the op coz hes afraid it might affect his PES status. He need to maintain his PES status in order not to affect his next stage of his career. Told the doctor that he would be safe only after September. But doctor assure him that this op would not affect his PES status. Memanglah rezeki tu ada di mana2, but in times like this if he cant continue his service with the Armed Forces, its not easy looking for a new job outside, especially now we have an extra mouth to feed, more responsibility awaits.

Ya'Allah, kau lindungilah suamiku.

Tukar Bulan


Tukar Bulan

Nowadays Khairin keeps crying at night. Mcm kena pukul pulak. Dukung duduk salah, berdiri salah semua tak kena. One thing about my little boy nie, suka jalan2...My mum kata ikut me coz when I was pregnant mmg I suka jln2, still travel from Yishun to Paya Lebar and work till few days before I gave birth. Ah sekarang kena jln2 sambil dodoikan Khairin. Yerlah, I told mum, kata kena bykkan jln then lebih mudah melahirkan, kalau ikutkan hati mmg malas tapi takut nanti labour susah hehehe...Ntahlah eh kepercayaan orang tua dulu2.

Mum pun kata time ni lah mmg betul2 menguji kesabaran. Dah nak abis hari, bb mmg suka merengek, dah nak tukar bulan. Lagipun I notice Khairin kalau buang air besar, semangat dah beberapa hari nie.

Memang betul menguji kesabaran, and I let it out to hubby. I really brush him yesterday hahaha!!!(adalah criter kalau tak takkan I nak cari pasal) pai I boycot never took care of Khairin the whole night. He was the one who attended, sambil tgk bola, Liverpool and AC Milan. Seriously I was knocked out yesterday, I never heard Khairin cried, only at 0630 I realised that hubby was so like cartoon, Khairin kept crying and he need to bath and get ready for work. He just gave Khairin the pacifier, apa lagi member bangun then I saw milk already prepared, let Khairin drank and soon he was back to sleep.

Walked hubby to the door and for me back to sleep. Bangun kul 0830, bathed him, and sampai sekarang, I didnt took any nap, for Khairin hes sleeping, sometimes I really hope that he could sleep like this thruout the night, but I know it would never be...Its ok, just for a few months of endurance.

...Meet u at last...Uncle Faried

...Meet u at last...Uncle Faried


Yesterday marks a memorable day for me and Khairin. Well, my in-laws came over, including my bro-in-law. He was so excited to see Khairin coz he was working shift and the next day after Khairin's birth he was outstationed to Japan. BIL was like a paparazzi. Khairin pun mcm tau jer, the moment they came, he was half awake, they managed to be entertained with his memek muka.

They stayed quite long and I should say the presence of Khairin changes a number of things. Me & inlaws are more closer, and also first time BIL talked to me. Eventhough its not the chit chatting type, at least there was a communication. Terlalu xcited sampai really forgotten to snap photos with my digicam...aiseyman!!!! Hubby pun sama.

Before that hubby's buddy came satu keluarga including his mum. I was stunned when she was so kecoh of why i still have not shave Khairin's hair...and explained mesti buat tu...ni....Common, I know what needs to be done, I still have parent and parent in laws. I believe nawa'itu yg penting, and nak buat nie semua mestilah kena tgk kemampuan diri sendiri, takkan nak minta sponsor...kalau nak aqiqah pun...i nak qiqah dgn apa?? Pening kepala....

MIL & FIL was aware about this and they share the same pendapat as me. Lagipun anak lelaki nie lebih..Insya'ALLAH bila dah ada rezeki tu, of course I will do for Khairin. Saper taknak buat awal2....Bab cukur rambut insya'ALLAH dlm masa terdekat ni...buat sekali dgn my house warming...

Mission Alone

Mission Alone

Yesterday was the first day spent the nite without hubby since Khairin's birth. Hubby was on Guard Duty...*sob* Look forward for the evening, only then Khairin can feel the presence of his papa. Khairin was crying badly yesterday, cari papa dia mungkin. I was quite worried it may drag to his sleeping hours, coz there would be no one to help prepare his milk.....Mum offered to let Khairin sleep with her, but I said its ok...its gonna be a lesson for me...Though its gonna be a bit tough I believe I can do it.

Alhamdulillah he didn't cry much. Just wake up for his feeds and back to sleep..Good boy...

Orait thats for now...gonna entertain my little prince...

Have a great weekend friends....

2 WEEKS BACK


2 WEEKS BACK

Wow!!! Such a long time away from the blogging world. Sorry ya no updates. I'm just adjusting & adapting to my new environment. MOTHERHOOD. Kinda simple word but its really not that easy when we step into the world. Sleepless nites, attenting to Khairin's need of feeds. Alhamdulillah so far I'm able to pull thru, definitely with the help of family members and not forgetting my beloved husband. Though himself not in good condition, he still did his responsibilities as a father. Alrite for now, I'm taking this opportunity to recap what happened 2 weeks back - that is my labour, which is still vivid in my mind, as if it just took place yesterday.

30.04.2005 - I started to feel uneasy, which turns out to be a false alarm. I had initially discussed with hubby, if by 05th May (my next appt) i dun have the signs of labour, I wanna request for induce. Frankly its not becos of the date, its just that I will reach my 40 weeks of pregnancy by then and I need to think of my maternity leave which I had start on 28.04.2005. Delays means I'm wasting my leave :(

01.05.2005 - While watching 'Aleeya Maisara' @ suria, I started to feel menstral cramps. Macam nak terbagi dua badan & pinggang. I was shocked to see blood stains. Informed hubby and in my mind is it the time?? Oh!! No!! Told mama and she rendam the akar fatimah and within short time, it blooms fully. By that time, I was concentrating on my contration intervals, its an hourly. Sempat gie northpoint after maghrib, reached home at 2045hrs, watched Lefthanded but with no concentration. Hubby wants me to go hospital but i was stubborn, can still maintain. When the contraction was 20mins apart, i called the labour ward and was informed to wait for 5mins interval as first child labour normally takes longer time. Hah?? And once it was only 10 mins apart, i called again and another staff told me if im worried I can come down and if cervix not dilated, I have to go home. So @ 2315hrs, took my shower, got ready, hubby informed mama and off we went to hospital with mama & papa. Sempat gie rumah kakak, jalan mcm model hehehe masih leh maintain cool, tapi dlm hati hanya DIA yg mengetahui.
Reached hospital at midnight, and I was welcome by the first staff who answered my call. She asked me why i come?? Eh!! I dun care. I told her, I'm in pain especially my waist area, u wanna me wait for 5 mins interval?? She brought me to the assessment room and I was interogated. Then at 0030hrs, M.O. came and seluk....Ouch!! I was 5cm dilated. They told me that I will be in the labour wardand will deliver anytime today. My heartbeat was beating very faster. My parents came to assessment room, I salam, minta maaf and kiss my parents.
Walked to the labour ward got changed and rest. Up to 0300 hrs, the gas mask was my new found friend and by 0330 hrs I told hubby that I wanna request pethidine. The midwifes were happy to see my cervix opening progress. By 0515hrs my gynae came, they told me to push when i feel the contraction. I was already high and hubby kept whispering to me to istifar and zikir byk2, jgn lepas. But there was one pt. I raised my voice to my gynae...Member tgh high beb, tk sedar apa dia merepek. But my gynae gave me an encouragement that i will neva forget. "Well Noraindah, its all up to you. The decision is yours. It's like running a marathon, you are almost to the finishing line, are u giving up?? One correct push with your full strength, you will be a mum. Or you want to continue bear the pain, we shall all just wait for you. Staying on like this will only make things worse, you may take hours of labour" I turned to hubby, he kissed my forehead and told me, one push ayang, a strong one!! I held hid hsnd tight and by the 3rd push, my prince is out. Alhamdulillah. Hubby azankan, managed to feed him with kurma, madu and air zam2...(sounds kiasu). Hubby was thankful to ALLAH, cos both of us are safe. I whispered to hubby, Happy birthday in advance dear, that is your 28th bdae present, the Gift of Life...Hubby was speechless.
Stitching time and like Frina said, the stitching was nothing compared to the delivery experience. Rested at labour ward, but I couldnt close my eyes, everything was too wonderful. I told hubby to catch some sleep cos he didnt sleep the whole night. After breakfast, which i didnt ate much was wheeled to ward.
Thank you ALLAH, thank you for the gift, thank you for making my baby a May baby.
