Been Bz.. havent got a chance to catch a breath!

Been very very Buzy lately with life. .

My baby damia kene HFMD. which is very hurtful to watch and to take care of a sick baby is no joke. i tak menang tangan, makan x lalu, asik pujuk and comfort her not to cry.

Damia is a very very easy baby. for those who have taken care of her would agree with me. she's rarely merengek/menangis unless kita tak bagi apa yg dia nak lah kan. Most of the time, she'll play her toys, read her books, bebel alone, play with cats, kacau org and she always make us laugh dgn segala telatah kiutt dia tuh! so to see her in this pain mode is sadness for me..

Alhamdulillah she's a healthy kid. rarely kene demam/flu.. But one day, she started off with a high degree fever. i was at shocked, but she remains active. so, we went to Emergency Hosp cz her day temp reading dah 39 deg C. The stupid medical officer, just check her physicall and prescribe her with paracetamol pastu suh balik. He barely even touch damia to see if she has got ear inefction ke/sore throat ke. Arghhh! Mak dia stress..

Ok lagi la tu kan, balik bagi ubat ape bagai, active mcm biasa.. lepas je maghrib dia merengek lain macam.. asik nak melekat, i dah rasa mcm panas sgt damia ni, check temp. Mashallah, 40 deg C. huh! pe lagi, bersilat la kami laki bini kat rumah.. bogelkan damia, tuam kepala badan. yg bapaknyer berlari kehulu kehilir bawak baldi air sejuk. i plak tuam her body sambil BF. In a way i feel so lucky to have a husband yg caring and wud share the same burden as me. *thank u yang, love u much much!*

Around 9pm later the same day, when damia's temp started to subside. kitorg rilex sikit.baru lah tarik nafas lega..gilir2 tgkkan dia sbb dia dah tdo.. tp i noticed rashes started to develope at the buttock area. i mmg rasa tak sedap hati lah kan. My motherly instict says that its not a normal fever. . Next day, First thing in the morning kita pergi jumpa her paed and the Dr has confirmed that damia kene HFMD and kene quarantine at least a week. . She has few big ulser in her mouth. kita org tua satu ulser pun dah sakit, ni pulak budak kecik tu kan..

2 hari damia tak consume solid food at all uols. minum susu je keje dia, n i banyak bg dia plan water. nasib baik dia nak susu kan.. coz eventually BF je yg boleh console dia. otherwise she'll cry. the following day pun xnak makan sgt. Alhamdulillah, third day dah makan mcm org lapar. Mama dia lompat bintang lah jaga dia kat rumah senang hati. main masak2 sama2, lipat baju sama2. sapu lantai sama2.. hahah! uols imagine je la, when i say sama2 she'll do the exact opposite way. Pengsan!

Both Grandparents from Subang and Seremban were worried and concerned abt her. Nama je quarantine, tp hari hari ada visitor. mom dtg siang, mom balik, pil pulak dtg..adik beradik lagi dtg nak jenguk dia.. damia mmg xbosan la kan.. She's lucky to have grandparents who cares alot abt her, who loves her unconditionally.


Now alhamdulillah damia dah fully recovered. and so for me..

Ive moved on to another job. Alhamdulillah..

still in induction/ training period. balik rumah je pengsan.
Starting to like the new work place.
friendly ppl, good environment, nearer to house. Owh and Alhamdulillah my male boss is very supportive. He doesnt mind me pumping at all. So my pumping routine remains at 3 times daily.

Ok lah dats for now..

Muar. A place i miss the most

i grew up in Muar. A small town, part of Johor. .

Things that i remembered clearly in my head about Muar.

banyak lagi lahh..

Bila la nak ada peluang balik muar ni. weekend je asyik bz skang ni..

Muar OH muar..

pumping gadgets

Mula mula masa preggy, we went to the parenting expo in Midval dgn niat nak grab breast pump. We came across Kak Farah, Sarakids booth at that time. Met her in person to get a personal touch & pep talk on BF and which gadget suits me the most. She convinced me to buy spectra for a starter as spectra punya function sikit-lebey-kurang juga dengan medela. At that time, my hub of cos la lagi setuju coz jimatt duit dia.. Beza spectra dgn medela banyakk tuhh! Ratus vs Ribu..

So yes, i started off with spectra. bought extra shield sbb nak double pumping. Started pumping my milk masa dlm pantang. Breast engorged. Ya Allah, Mashallah sakit nyer bengkak susu!! Mcm batu kerasnya.. pump xjalan, dpt 2 oz je. bengkak ttp bengkak. . haa ape lagi, meleleh air mata tau.. Anak minum pun dah, sampai tersedak2 flow laju sgt.. Suami tuam2 dgn kain panas.. sampai lah reda bengkak. Skang anak dah setahun sebulan dah mmg jarang la bengkak2 ni. *oh i miss!*

After confinement period, bermula la episode pumping di tempat kerja.
I was the first mother amongst others yg pump pada ketika itu.
Stock susu mmg dah build up masa dlm pantang, so pergi kerja pump adalah untuk mantainkan supply susu and to meet baby's daily demand. Sehari i akan pump 3kali. Keluar masuk bilik medical room/meeting room. Kalau rajin buat power pumping. selang 10 mts. Semua untuk anak, rezeki Allah dah bagi kan.. Jimat duit papa dia :) Anak sihat, poket pun tak koyak. Alhamdulillah

Start eying on FS medela bila hantar servis my beloved spectra, ive got no choice but to lend my sister's gadget, FS medela. .

Sekali dah rasa, JATUH CINTA lahh pulak!
Terus tiap bulan mengendeng kat hubby nak FS..
and akhirnya, anak dah berusia Setahun baru dapat rasa FS sendiri :)
Banyak advantage FS ni. Antaranya Freestyle lah kan. I pernah try aksi ber-FS sambil photostat docs dalam office *harus lah tutup mana yg patut kan*.. confirm, tak jatuh, tak meleleh.. lekat just nice to ur Breast..
Altho' its expensive, but worth every penny. Swear! Its a Good investment!

Now, kene pasang niat rajinkan diri bangun mlm untuk pump. Kene pump nak banyakkan supply susu.
Insyallah yakin boleh.

Okeh la..niat dah pasang.. harap dpt bgn mlm ni.
CaiyokkK!

2012

Ok, after so many days, months and years of not blogging.. here i am writting back again.

2012 Alhamdulillah have been good to me. Im blessed with a happy marriage, loving fmly, adorable kid and supportive friends. no words can describe my feelings. Definitely feel good :)

Anyways,

Damia is no longer a baby, she's a toddler now!

Our little-banyak-keletah princess, Damia Raihana turns 1 last month.
Sobs! time flies n shes no longer a baby, she's a toddler now..
She discovered that she has feet and cud walk, climb and run at 11 months old! Giving me heartache at times! shouting n screaming, begging her to stop then she'll give me her sweetest smile and pose.. aaaaa, terus cair..mama x jadi marah :)

Alhamdulillah, syukur masih dikurniakan rezeki susu. masih fully bf damia. she has never consumed any FM. Insyallah, planning to bf selama yg boleh..
Siapa cakap BF easy peasy? Sila mengaku! heheh..

lemme tell you, BF is never an easy task! ive learn the hard way ok!. Google and reading was my only mentor back then. i mmg nekad nak BF ever since i preggy 7 months, heret laa laki aku g class BF, antenatal..bagi dia aware of the need to BF anak dia ni haa.. and alhamdulillah, my hubby is supportive. Selalu balik balik kerja dlm kereta..

Hub: Beh banyak dpt tak harini
Me: Kurang few ounces la harini.. xcukup makan kot
Hub: Awk kene relax baru leh dpt let-down.
Me: tu lah kan.. (laki aku tau pasal let-down, oOokeh!)

and cerita pasal 'down' mmg lah ada. tak selalu 'up' pun production susu ni. adaa masa down ok.. tapi as a mother, dah down susu tu pandai pandai lah nak cover up balik kasi supply anak cukup for her daily consumption kan. at times i bgn mlm memerah (sgt jarang la tp) or power pumping in office together with my pumping buddy sambil bergossip! (cepat je letdown. kdg2 boler dpt 2-3 LD). Owh, n stock susu cair? It happened to me not ONCE ok, THREE times! omaigod. heart attack aku! rasa nak pingsan! suami, akak n kawan support..encourage i balik..n slowly i build up the stocks. Alhamdulillah, tak pernah tak cukup susu anak.. walaupon 3 kali kene incident fridge-tak-tutp-rapat-habis-cair-semua-susu-aku-nangis-darah-pun-tak-guna! hahahah phew! aku redha je, bukan rezeki Damia..Ok enuff on that.

On Life

Pretty much the same. Still in old company, insyallah in a process of getting a new job.
Old fren of mine, Echenta has open my eyes and mind to such a great opportunity. Premium Beautiful. Been wanting to invest in a good business to earn extra money and at the same get personal gain. Well, to those who know me wud say 'Natt, dah kurus kan, PB bendenye!'. Yes, mmg im back to my pre-pregnancy weight, thanks to BF.. tapi perut yg menggelebeh ni tak lah dapat dibendung ok. and plus there are some areas yg i need to tone up, also my back problem..Ouch ok! Ouch!. Nak sign up for gym? humrmm, tak payahlah.. facility gym kat rumah tu pun tak berusik. Will do one entry on PB nanti ye ;)

Anybody interested nak try on the corset or to know more on the business marketing, boleh je email me @miss_natra@yahoo.com

Till we meet again.

Salam.
