Deep condolences

May 16, 2008

Our deep & heartfelt condolences to my blog-friend, Ina & hubby who has just lost their unborn 1st child at 38weeks.

I come to know the news when I visited her web just now.

Dear Ina, tabahkan hatimu dan kuatkan semangatmu menempuhi dugaan dari Yang Maha Esa. Sesungguhnya, anakmu itu adalah bidadari syurga yang hanya dipinjamkan sementara oleh-Nya. InsyAllah, akan berjumpa kalian di sana nanti

 

*hugs*

My motivation of BF

May 9, 2008

Since now ummi is battling with the decrease of  milk production, I find these pics motivational and keeps me going to bf the little princess.

 

Totally rewarding.

Go ummi go!! Dont give up!!

*****************************************************************************************************************

Anyway, we went for her 4th jap this morning. Am not surprise at all, she weights at 5.85kg, increased 450 grams only! :?  Then bile part tinggi macam biasalah, her paed said the same dialogue while jotting the chart.. tinggi dia ni, ikut abi… I guess I have to menerima hakikat yang Tasneem wont be as chubby and montels as other babies yang kusss-semangat badan dia tu. Mula2 dulu terasa jugakla bila orang komen Tasneem x montel, Tasneem x tembam and so forth, sampai kadang mcm rasa tensen pulak and pikir  anak aku x cukup susu ke?? ke susu aku tak berkualiti?? But as time goes by and after hundreds of googling regarding baby weight vs bf, I find that my daughter is really just fine. Nothing wrong with her not so-chubby-montel-pipi and badan. Lagipun, her growth chart is still within the normal range, the weight is still increasing each month. Kalau berat baby turun, thats something yang kena risau. So now, I rest my case and just accept the fact that my little princess is not going to be in that tembam-montel group.  Kalau ada orang komen abt that,  pekak kan telinga and senyum aje laaaaaa… 8)

Aha my sister called just now, she said that Tasneem now looks like ummi when I was a baby. My mom also said the same thing when she babysit Tasneem last week, especially looking at her when she’s sleeping.  Wah, perasaan sungguh bangga ummi mendengarnya ok!! :D Yelah, asyik org kata muka ikut abi aje kan…. bila nak muka ummi pulak? hehe

On the other note, ummi’s best friend, Avent IQ Isis Uno’s Let Down Massage Cushion has been missing.

Sudahlah tgh ada crisis production, hilang pulak 1 part. Now, kena lah ummi tahan sakit sikit everytime pumping. :cry:  Tak tahu mana nak carik ganti, tp 1st step nak pegi ke Mothercare kot lah diorang ada jual. Kalau xde, ummi nak tepon Kinderjik and ask for it. Kalau xde jugak kat Malaysia ni, bln 6 nnt WanChu nak ke UK, mintak tolong lah dia carik kan.

In the mean time, tahan aje laaa sakit tu kan demi untuk Tasneem. :|

Tasneem @ 4 months

May 6, 2008

Sorry for the long silence.. Ummi bz la, clichë reason kan??

Err anyway..anyone missing the little princess? heeehee :groucho:

Anyway, she is 4 months now. Makin besar, makin panjang, makin banyak main. . Aduhaii princess ummi & abi ni, makin banyak akal sekarang.

Last week we travelled from seremban. Although the cost of travelling was sky rocketting, tapi sebab Tasneem was safe and secured in the hand of her wan & atuk, ummi and abi pejam mata aje laaa..especially bile kat petrol station and mase nak top-up touch n go. The payback was indeed very satisfying; pipi Tasneem dah nampak tembam sikit!!  Ahaa..mana taknya, wan  sentiasa enjut buaian kalau Tasneem tido. Memang lena lah budak kecik tu tido.

On the low side, kesian jugak dgn Tasneem. First time Tasneem kena tinggal lama dgn ummi. We left her at 7.30am and only come back home 8pm the earliest. On the 1st day, she waited for us (ummi particularly) and refused to sleep. According to my mum, she didnt cry though. Only when she saw or maybe smell ummi she started to cry. After dapat nenen for only like 5 min terus lelap. Aduhai kesian nya..

But thats was last week, now the bbsitter is fine and fit to take care of little Tasneem and yeay, no more travelling (and habis duit & time on the road) for us. ;)

Now, a little bit of her milestone or updates:

  1. According to her bbsitter, she meniarap today tapi x reti nak turn over balik resulting in menangis meminta tolong. :lol:
  2. Very playful and smiles a lot too. :)
  3. Since she plays a lot and more aware of her environment, she’s playful while nursing too. Kejap aje bf-ing with ummi, kalau abi borak dgn ummi mmg dia distracted. Kadang tu kena masuk dalam bilik baru dia concentrate to nurse.
  4. She is now in the making of an expert in nursing. Likes to latch and unlatch herself and sometimes resulting in a milky-pour-over her face when she unlatched herself  during the ‘let-down reflex’ is on progress.  ;)

cheeky little Tasneem

*******************************************************************************************************

Since it has been a very heaty days currently, Tasneem developed a pretty ugly rashes on her cheeks and bumbum. She always scratching in her sleep sampaikan calar balar muka. I assumed that she had mixed infection on both areas. Ruam susu + heat rashes on her cheek and nappy rashes + yeast infection on her bumbum. All this while ummi just applied hydrocort cream on those area but I guess it didnt really work. It was a sight that ummi can not stand lantas ummi bawak Tasneem jumpa doktor. She prescribed Econazine cream; anti-inflammary and anti-fungal cream and yet another hydrocort cream. She also advised ummi to carefully watch my food intake especially those allergic-trigger foods like eggs, chicken, prawns etc in which ummi should try to avoid. Hmm.. blame it on ummi lah because she inherited a sensitive skin; prone to have eczematous reaction. :( Anyway, after a few time applying the Econazine cream, the ugly rashes on her cheeks and bumbum dissappeared!! Now muka anak ku kembali cerah dan licin seperti biasa. TAPI, on the bad side those cream menyebabkan muka Tasneem a bit kering. Takpelah, kena lah rajin sikit apply lotion over and over. ;)

Now, ummi nak mengadu kat mommies sume yang production susu tgh merudum lah. I know that the milk production mmg ada pasang surut nya, but now mmg tgh crisis giler ni. Tasneem drinks 20oz now and ummi can only produce 12-15oz perday. So I have to increase my pumping session IMMEDIATELY, kalau tak mmg confirm x leh nak catch-up with the demand. Now, I’m trying not to get panic. All because of my little girl, today pukul 4pagi ummi dah terjaga and x boleh tido, terus bangun and pump. Dapatlah 2.5oz. Campur dgn semalam 2oz jadi 4.5oz. Total up yesterday’s collection : 4oz + 7 oz + 2oz + 2.5oz = 15.5oz. Kena guna back-up stock to top-up jadik 20oz.

:tarik napas:hembus napas:tarik napas:hembus napas: jangan panic.jangan panic.

InsyAllah………everything will be fine.

Or maybe I should tell Tasneem not to drink so much today?

Tu lah, pengajaran untuk ummi sebab last week selalu miss pumping session. Walaupun dah banyak kali baca info psl pumping and to increase pumping session, still degil jugak. Ha sekarang menyesal.
