My brothers came down for a visit and spent the weekend at my place. Kids surely had lots..tonnes of fun splashing in the big really BIG swimming pool (we did not fill up the water though...coz it will take forever..)..then we went to see Eye on Malaysia..Haaziq, being the only boy (kid) ropa2nya yg paling penakut. He refused to go onto the carrier. It was fun afer all. I remembered 4 yrs ago, we went to see Eye of London(EOL)..Haaziq was 1 mths old at time time..(yupp tak habis lagi pantang tapi stil pergi jalan)..we did not ride the EOL because there were too many people..estimated time of queing was about 1-2 hrs..It is similar to EOM just that EOL much..much bigger..i bet the view must be fantastic from up there..well maybe next time la..

the birth of Muhammad Hafeez

Alhamdulillah..thank you to Allah SWT, everything went well on the day Muhammad Hafeez was born. I had mild contractions that morning and furthermore my doctor wanted me to check in that day so we went to the hospital around 930am. Settling down in my room while entertaining the kids as well as the contractions every 30 mins apart. MD decided to sent kids home for lunch and Aqeelah cried because she wanted to stay with me..it was quite sad to see them like that but they had to go home. MD came back after that and stayed with me until the baby came out. Around 330pm, the contractions became closer and sakkkkiiitt..the nurse asked me whether I wanted to take any pain relief like epidural or pethadine. Cehh ngan machonya..am still ok..will let u know if I cant hold it any longer. 15 mins after that, told MD to call the nurse and asked her how long is gonna be? She said lambat lagi la..WITHOUT checking my opening pun.. I was like..ok..if that the case, then I need my jab right now!!!..10 mins after that, Dr. Fatimah came in, very calm n sweet la this doctor, and she was telling me about epidural bla bla bla..then suddenly she said..Ma..i think u can forget about epidural now..coz the baby is coming..and yes after 1 big push at 4.07..Muhammad Hafeez was safely born weighed at 3.35kg.. slightly smaller than abg Haaziq. I was given 2 small stitches. Went home the day after that and am so glad that my parents were there to help me with the kids. Hafeez settled quite well, just couple of nites yg dia buat hal tak nak tidur malam..apart from that, alhamdulillah he’s been a good boy. As for me, I got enough bed rest, and yes this time around the stitches was not that bad. Cuma badan ja rasa letih2 n lenguh2..maybe because my body dah aging kut heheh..after 3 days of urut-mengurut session..felt much better. As usual, my confinement will last up until 44 days..where am not allowed to eat certain foods like yang sejuk2, berangin,pedas2.. no cold drinks, bertungku etc.
To sum up, it was not so bad experience giving birth n pantang this time and who knows I might give it another go ..;o) but not in the near future..maybe 3-4 yrs lagi insyallah..Hafeez will be 2 mths old in few days. He's already smiling and adapting well with his busy body kakak n abang. He loves taking his bath and being mummy's co-pilot in the car. Last n not least, thank you for all your warm wishes and for visiting Hafeez n me.

funny n silly

MD bought them the practical jokes set...and here they are posing it for mummy's blog!

belum sampai masa

what would you do or feel when the opportunity you've been waiting for so long is just a step away but.... you have to let it go??..They called me last Tuesday to ask whether am still interested with KPLI. Apparently...i was choosen for the second intake session which start last Monday...I was speechless for a few minutes then reality struck me...i cant...am about to pop in few more days ( to be exact lagi 10 hari)..yg menambahkan kesedihan..the teaching institute is just around the corner of Bangi..approx. 10 mins from home..memang very-very convienence for me. If i have to go somewhere else far, maybe i wont feel that bad to let it go...it really wasnt meant to be...MD pun rasa a bit sedih but then he reminded me that insyallah there will be a better opportunity for me waiting in the future.

As for now..am a bit anxious and nervous as the EDD is just few days away. Haaziq and Aqeelah are excited that every day they asked about the baby...semua preparation dah siap..actually there are not much to prepare since aqeelah and haaziq baby's stuffs banyak..just little bit here and there yg nak kena tambah. I had diferent birth experience with my two kids. Aqeelah was born in Kedah Medical Center, Alor Setar..( coz i was too afraid of giving birth in South Africa-- yup MD)..she was induced and the labour was not that long..tapiii sakitt woo kena induced. Haaziq on the other hand, arrived right on the due date and this time the nurses at Norwich and Norfolk University Hopsital, UK said..let nature do it course..no induced what so ever. The first stage of labour was about 6 hrs but as soon as my water bag burst..Haaziq dah selamat keluar. He weighed 3.515kg. Aqeelah was a bit smaller..2.95kg. And for my third baby...doctor said it's going to be around 3kg +. My belly is huge..--well that's what i think..but most people who see me will said.."keciknya perut..baru berapa bulan" heheheh....kecik...macam ikan paus adalah..hahah..anyway...wish me luck..doakan semuanya berjalan dengan mudah dah lancar..

….i just want to salammm

the other day we went to parkson..saja jalan2 cuci mata..haaziq as usual like to run here and there exploring this and that..but once a while he will check up to see where his mama..and same goes with me. Anyway..i was looking at this nice handbags..pompuan..pi mana2 pun handbags jugak yg dia suka tengok..tetiba..tak dengar suara haaziq. I looked around and saw him holding the mannequin hand…tak gerak2..hmmm something’s wrong…tetiba..dia jerit..mama..help..help..his hand was still holding the mannequin..asked him..what’s wrong? Terus dia nangis and said..his hand come out..rupa2nya..tangan mannequin tu tercabut dari pergelangan tangan..agaknya haaziq mesti dah pusing2 kan tangan tu..sekali tercabut and he was so scared. It was so hilariously when I saw his face..and siap usik2 lagi dia…agaknya dia makin takut and terus lepaskan tangan tu ..sampai sakit perut ketawakan dia. In the end, helped him put back the hand and he was so scared after that terus ajak balik..hehhe..Asked him later..what are you trying to do boy? He said..” I just want to salammm”..Haaziq..Haaziq…puas kena gelak ngan mama

..into her independent world

this is Aqeelah 3rd week at school. Alhamdulillah she is settling very well. I dont have to wait for her during recess time anymore. She made lots of new friends and seems to enjoy herself very much. Her schedule is quite tight with her KAFA in the morning and school session in the afternoon. She looks tired though and sometimes has hard time to wake up in the morning..well who could blame her..memang memenatkan..but she'll get used to it just like any other kids. On the other hand....her mummy felt so sunyi now that she's no longer at home. Am so used to have her around ...and now she'e no longer here. The house seems so empty. I used to complain before this that i dont have enough "me time"..and now when i do have the "me time" rasa macam something missing ...i miss my kids..hmm macam2 la jadi mummy ni kan..and there's no way i could stop them from growing up..especially when they are growing to become a better person.
