1/2/2013

It was about a week ago I gave birth to a strong bouncy baby boy, Harris Muqmeen Bin Eddie Hisyam. In a quick discussion, me, Edi and my doctor agreed that I was going to have the c-section on the 1/2/2013, which was also Hari Wilayah. It was Friday, and I guess it was a good day to give birth to my baby.

Our immediate families were there, my mom, father and mother-in-law and our siblings. The procedure was so quick. It took less than an hour, and it was done! The baby was out and Edi was the first to see him. I, of course, was still unconscious at that time. Everyone was waiting anxiously at the waiting room. Unfortunately, Harris Muqmeen had low sugar when he was born, so he was taken directly to the nursery to be fed. Everyone else had to see him through a picture Edi took when he "azankan" the baby.

When I was awake, the first thing I said was "Sakitnya!!". That was what I felt when I opened my eyes. I was awake but I could not open my eyes. But I did saw the doctor gave me some more drugs so that I'll doze off. I was fully waken up in my room. Everything is between seemed like I was in a dream. When I asked where my baby is, my family said he was still in the nursery. I asked a few times to see my baby. My doctor allowed me to see him for awhile. I felt like crying when I first saw him. All the emotion inside me felt like bursting. 

After staying at the hospital for 5 days, we were finally allowed to go home. It has been 10 days now. I still felt like crying now and then, for no reason sometimes. But I am definitely full of joy to finally have this baby in my life. Sleepless night seems okay to me. Even the baby's shrieking doesn't bother me that much. 

I am thankful to Edi for all the support that he gave from my early pregnancy up until now. He is very hands-on about the baby. He wants to learn everything on how to take care of the baby. I'm glad and overjoyed. I am also thankful towards both my mothers who help a lot. From buying baby stuff (which is quite expensive) to taking care of Harris Muqmeen.

I am looking forward to the journey of taking care of my long awaited baby with Edi. =)

Now he looks like Edi, and he's doing Edi's mouth. ~saya dah botak~

8 MonThs pLus..

Tomorrow will be the 35th weeks of my pregnancy. A few more weeks to go. Can't wait to see my baby boy, to hold him in my arms. I hope I'm ready for motherhood. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. A lot will change in my life, that is for sure. 

Yesterday, I went to see my gynea with Edi. Baby's head is still upwards. Doctor said that baby may have a hard time to turn as there is the fibroid. But there is still space for him to turn. I am praying hard to have a normal delivery. But if I have to undergo ceaser, than it is okey. As long as baby is safe and healthy. As for now, baby is more or less 2.2kg. 

If I do have to opt for c-section, then we have to choose a date to deliver. I am hoping not to deliver during Chinese New Year. Maybe before that. I will be 37weeks. Baby will be ready to see the world by then.

BeinG MIA fOr MonThs Now..

Hi! I have been missing-in-action for quite some time now. Not that I have lost interest in blogging but because of circumstances, I just don't know what to write about. There is one major topic that I can blog about, but I refused to share with the public just because of the history I went through 3 times.

 Well, time to break the news here! I'm 7 months pregnant!! I told my FB friends yesterday, and the comments were overwhelming! I spent my day replying to my friends' comments. I was so happy to share the news, finally. I chose to keep it a secret because of my past experience, where I had 3 miscarriages. But my close friends and family knew about this pregnancy from the start, of course.

So, this time, when Edi and I knew that we were pregnant back in June, I told my mom first. She was in Madinah that time, I asked her to pray for me so that this time everything will okay. Edi told his parents as well. Then I told my siblings. Then my sister mentioned that I may be pregnant when I was in Sydney and Krabi. I thought about that, and I think the holidays were the beginning of my pregnancy. Later after my first appointment with the gynaecologist, which happens to be my aunty, I told my close friends and Edi told his. I have to tell you, it was quite hard keeping it a secret. 

Anyway, during my 5th month, I had minor contraction. I can't believe I thought it was food poisoning. When I told my gynae, she asked me to go to the hospital immediately. I was facing another risk of miscarriage. I cried again, I didn't know whether I can take another episode of that again. Anyway, I was hospitalized. I had to undergo an operation called cervical cerclage. I was advised to bed-rest most of the time, no shopping, no holidays, no long travels, no heavy activities etc. I was also given MC. I did not go to school since October till the holidays. Come January 2013, I will still be given MC. Doctor says that I can't go anywhere and must not be on my feet until I safely deliver this baby. 

At first, I have to admit, I was relieved, not going to school and all. But after some time, it got kind of bored staying at home. I just have to suck it up for the sake of the baby. I still have the internet, movies, sitcoms and books to keep me occupied. Most of the time, I sleep anyway. Whatever it takes for the baby, right? This is one of the reasons I have not been updating my blog. There's nothing much going on in my life except for the pregnancy. No pictures to upload and share.

The chance of us having a bouncy baby this time is high. But I will not stop praying until I see the baby with my own eyes and hold him in my own arms. Oh yeah, it is going to be a boy, in shaa Allah!! Do pray for us as well!!

7 months pregnant me!

5tH anniVErsaRy..

Yesterday was our 5th anniversary. How time flies. But this year is the first year we're living together as husband and wife. After all this time apart, one in KL and the other in Kuala Terengganu, finally we get to start our lives like a real couple.

Usually, for celebration like this, we would have a fine dining dinner. Same goes for birthdays. But this year, we celebrated our anniversary differently. We went to Baskin Robbins instead. I don't know why, but our appetite for fine dining seems missing. I don't feel like eating much, Edi also felt the same. We can't decide where to eat.  

So, this year, we kept it simple yet intimate between just us two. =)

Pistachio Almond and Cotton Candy for me

Mango Sorbet and Jamocha for Edi

Went to see Uzma later in the evening - open house at Alam Damai

mY raYa 2012

I've been back to work for a week now (which I don't really have mood for it), but it is still the raya time. Raya is for a month, right?

 So just a short update of my raya back in Terengganu. This year, it was Terengganu turn. Next week, we will be going back to Taiping.

The theme was any shades of green this year

Went to see the girls on 3rd raya after a hectic scheduling

whEre Is mY mOOd..?

Finally after weeks of ignoring my blog, I decided to look at it before I go back to my kampung. I realized I have only one post during the month of August. My mood has gone some where else. Blame it on my mood swing and hormonal change. 

I am just going to post pictures to tell you about my days during Ramadhan.

Ibu gave birth to 6 kittens. How about that, adding to family members. Anyone wants to adopt kittens?

This is during our iftar at Ampang Puteri Specialist. My aunty celebrates iftar with family every year. 

Ate a lot of lamb at Vistana Hotel. Iftar with Edi's friends.

Mak always amazed me with her cooking. Look at the prawn, Edi cooked that dish. Udang Telur Masin. This was at Taiping. Went back to see parents-in-law since this year we are celebrating raya in Terengganu.

Iga bakar at Dapur Penyet with Yus. Couldn't eat much that night, felt so bloated.

iFtar At LamAn griLL..

As how I felt nowadays, I don't have much mood to update my blog as there isn't any interesting thing happened. It's Ramadhan, so everything is in a slow pace. 

But last Thursday, we went to have our iftar at Laman Grill, Shah Alam. Edi planned with his friends. The journey to Shah Alam was not stressful as I thought it would be. I mean, there were some parts that had traffic jam. But it was just for a little while. We reached the restaurant at 7.00pm and the friends from Shah Alam didn't even arrive yet at that time. 

The meal served was superb as always. We had buffet for the appetizer, dessert, and drinks. As for the main course we ordered one meal which we can choose from the Ramadhan menu. All of that only cost us rm50 each. Cheap!! 

We stayed there until about 9.00pm. We had to eat slowly and steadily. I felt so bloated that I thought I was going to throw up immediately after eating everything. But after appetizer, we went to perform our Maghrib prayer first. So there was a gap between the meals. 

Today, we will be having our iftar at Ampang Puteri Specialist with our relatives. Tomorrow, maybe we'll be having our iftar with Edi's siblings. Next week it will be at a hotel with Edi's colleagues. There's another place which Edi mentioned and I had forgotten, somewhere near KLCC. Why is my week suddenly so packed? Usually it's to the mosque for iftar. >.<
