“Ainee, baby you dah engaged ni..keras dah perut ni. Bila-bila masa saja ni”, she smiled.
 
Me?? The first thing I thought was, who is going to mark my students’ papers – if I’m going to deliver soon? Lepas tu, fikir pasal thesis aku pulak…I am really blur and stuck, how to solve this unpredicted situation??

Raya? Raya pun tade mood sangat. Aku balik kg (BP) bawak tests & CW yang nak kena marking. Baju raya pun tak siap..huhu sadis sungguh pagi raya aku:( Tapi apa2 pun aku happy la jugak dapat jumpa and kumpul ramai2 dengan sedara2 yang jumpa setahun sekali je (boleh tumpang baca pasal raya by adik2 ipo ku : kuizikel & cekkeya)-lebih kurang je crita sama dgn aku. Tengah tunggu Bell update pasal raya << cepatt aa!!)

I’ve finished marking my first paper. Sangat berbangga dgn diri sendiri wpun resultnya macam *tut*. It took me 2 days only. Now I’m waiting for my second paper which is on 5th Oct. Meanwhile, I guess I need to track back my pending thesis report. Sigh!

My weight is 58kg. The baby is 2.7kg now (cepat lak dia naik). But everything all fine. I’m having normal symptoms of 37wks – Braxton Hicks, a lot of pressure u-know-where, back pain, hips pain, sleepless nite and constantly pooping. I am praying very hard that I’m NOT going to deliver soon, but NOT later than 22 Oct. Takmo susahkan sapa2 for taking over my job. Ya Allah, makbulkan lah! Amin!

Frens & family, please pray for me too. Salam Aidilfitri. Maaf Zahir Batin.

Last Friday, I went for my 34-weeks checkup. Alhamdulillah…my urine test’s result was all fine. Ahkak suka sangat! pH - normal, glucose - normal, protein : -ve. Syukur sangat2. I was so worried if my glucose level still high as the last visit. My weight is 57.1kg, and the baby is 2.1kg. So far so good and I am still fasting till today, Alhamdulillah

Because of the fine result, ahkak makan tak-hengat malam tu..muhahahaha…takbleh tahan la;) AIST had a buka puasa dinner cum farewell party for the practical students, at Renaissance Hotel, Melaka. Sangat ok makanannya, variety, well presented, service ok, surau sangat bersih. Boleh makan lagi ye kat sana, boss?

Why I was so demn happy about the result?? Aaarghh….this time I have Gestational Diabetes. Sigh. FYI, this type of diabetes is occured during pregnancy only. It is believed, will be away, once you deliver the baby. Tapi, ada possibilities untuk ibu-ibu akan kena diabetes in future. Aiyakk!!

I found out about it during the last visit. The urine test showed a high level of glucose, a week before Ramadhan begin. Doc ask me to check the level of glucose in my blood pulak. So I had to do the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) (Kena amik darah otey, sungguh panjang jarum itu!!). The process was like this..that nite I have to fast after midnite till morning, before taking the test. A sample of your blood will be taken. After that, you will be given a drink – SANGAT MANIS GILER….1 mug penuh aku kena minum. Rasa nak muntah. Then I had to wait for 2 hours. Within this hours, you are advised to stay calm and relax and cannot eat, minum boleh. Some ppl will feel nausea, shivering and dizzy. Aku? Semua aku rasa. After 2 hours, another blood sample is taken. This time to see how your body break down the sugar. Aku terus balik selepas test tu. A few hours then, the doc personally called me to tell me the bad news. Oh ooo….:(( She explained and asked me to do another test – Blood Sugar Profile (BSP) Test where I have to check my blood sugar level for 4 times in a day!! Sangat menyusahkan tapi alhamdulilah, aku dpt setelkan dengan baik just a day before the 1st Ramadhan. Pagi puasa, 8am take the test. Doc akan cucuk hujung jari kita (dengan jarum yang sngt kecil:), then masukkan darah kat alat kecil (ada macam kertas litmus), then bacaan pun keluar . First result = 4.4 . Lepas tu, baru boleh breakfast. Then kul 12noon kena pegi lagi (before lunch), result = 3.5 3.8. Lepas tu, around 4pm, cucuk lagi..resultnya = 4.8 . Last sekali 10pm, the result was = 4.6. Yeayy!! Conclusionnya OK la and definitely I have to watch out my meals la…

SANGAT MENCABAR otey di bulan puasa ini…..!

Oh ya, another important information…the baby is GIRL !!! Husna suka, Papa suka, aku pun suka. Family aku je ngada2, frust..hehe nak baby boy pulak. Takpe..rezeki Allah. Senang woooo jaga anak pompuan ni;) Preparation ? Not yet. Belum tengok, Husna’s things that can be recycled..hehe. Aku tengah sevey nak beli breast pump apa..last time I used Avent Isis – never dissappoited me, however this time I want to buy dual pump, jimat masa, tidak membazir susu dan very practical for working moms. So frens, any suggestion for me? TQ.

Selamat beramal untuk hari-hari terakhir Ramadhan ni! =)

 
Semoga perkahwinan kami kekal bahagia, dirahmati, dilindungi Allah, cekal dengan ujian2 yang mendatang, dikurniakan anak-anak yang soleh,…di dunia dan di akhirat. Aminnn!

P/s: Ohh..ramai (dululah), kawan2 aku tanya – camna aku bleh kawin dengan Amran…ngeh, ngeh, ngeh…selain dari ‘minyak senyonyong’ yang dia calitkan pada aku (dari mana kena contact dia lah..), dia bagi aku lagu ni..*wink” *wink*. I luv u, bebey!

Husna sangat suka dengan baby, so dia sangat happy dengan kehadiran baby dalam perut ni. Alhamdullilah. Jadinya tidak perlulah aku berusaha keras menyediakan dia untuk baby ini. Memandangkan sharing is caring…so aku nak sharelah, apa2 usaha (yang sikit ni) dalam menyediakan dia menjadi Kakak Husna.

1) Talk about the Baby
Kami selalu berbual pasal baby, masa waktu nak tido. Biasanya Husna yang banyak tanya…”Mama, baby dah makan? Dah minum susu, dah mandi…”. Ini ok lagi…kadang2 dia tanya “Mama, dalam perut mama ada bed tak? Baby pakai baju apa? Baby sleep hug mama tak? Macamana baby nak hug mama? Belakang mama tade lubang pun?” Hehe..jawap..jawap..jgn tak jawap;)

Boleh jugak cakap dengan dia pasal selepas baby dah keluar. Bagitau dia, she has to look after the baby, because she is Kakak Husna now. I also always tell her that you have to share toys, books and stuff with the baby. Part ni kadang2 dia tanya -”How baby want to play, she (dia selalu refer baby as she) put my toys in mouth?” Heh, terer anak aku, boleh predict;). Ohh aku cakap jugak…after this she has to sleep with baby in her room, cannot sleep with mama anymore. Ini buat dia terdiam, then dia jawap OK!

2) Ask her to talk to the tummy
Husna rajin juga bercakap dengan baby walaupun tak disuruh…sangat sejuk perut aku bila dia kiss my tummy Antara benda yang dia selalu cakap ialah:
- “Good nite / good morning baby”
- ”I love u baby”
- “Baby, stop kicking.” (ni bila aku ngadu, perut sakit..dia akan terus ckp pada baby)
- “Baby, what are you doing?”
- “Baby, you girl or boy?”
- and sometimes she ‘gives’ toys for baby to ‘play’…hehe comel!

3) Let her be the ‘role-model’ for the baby
Ini memang berkesan. Kalau ada sesuatu yang aku nak dia buat, aku akan cakap, contohnya..”Husna, baby wants to see how Kakak Husna brush her teeth?”, “Husna, baby wants to see how Kakak Husna read Iqra’ “. Immediately and excitedly, she will do that, sambil konon2 menerangkan how to brush her teeth, what letter is this…etc. Bestkan? Next time aku nak try suruh dia lipat baju lak..:))
Satu je problem, dia mesti suruh aku ‘bukak’ perut supaya baby boleh tengok, katanya. Aiyak!

4) Get her involve with the preparations
Ni aku belum buat, selagi aku belum tahu gender budak kecik ni, aku takde hati lagi nak shopping apa2. Tapi Husna dah prepare, dia dah pilih baju2 dia yang kecik dan nak kasi kat baby…kalau baby girl. Dia kata kalau baby boy, mama kena beli t-short bob the builder or thomas..hehe, dia dah plan dah! (Bukan baju sahaja, kasut2 dia masa baby pun dia dah prepare dah)

She even has selected a few names for the baby. Ni merapu skit la anak aku ni…ada ke nak letak nama Dibo, dengan apa ye satu lagi..emm aku pun lupa, tapi character kartun yang dia suka tengok lah;)

So ini antara tips yang aku boleh share..tak sure berjaya ke tak selepas betul2 dapat baby. Itu lain cerita, yang penting kena ikhtiar. Kat sini pun ada tips from babycenter.com. Read here.

Till then, jaga kesihatan anda semua, jangan pegi tempat ramai2 dengan bawak anak2 kecik anda dan jangan lupa pakai mask, otey. (Alhamdulilah, Husna & Mama are getting better).

It is worth trying, Insya Allah, Amin.

Oh sebelum me signing-off, bukan ibu-ibu aje boleh baca, bapak2 pun sila baca juga, otey!

Husna 3 bulan

Alhamdulillah, lagi beberapa hari je lagi dah nak masuk 28wks – 7 bulan dah, pheww! Rasa macam sekejap aje-skit lagi dah masuk 3rd trimester. Perut pun makin ‘kembung’..rasa mcm nak meletup je perut aku bila dia mengeras…

From my reading at babycenter.com, supposely the baby weighs almost 2 pounds and is about 14 1/2 inches long…emm..rasanya baby aku panjang skit kot  The baby now can sleep, walking..hah? walking?? Patutlah macam dalam washing machine aku rasa:)) My baby kicks me ALL the time! I know it is should be a wonderful experience but it really make my tummy sore, and to some point I feel like want to cry. Heh.

As I reached the second trimester, I have a few new symptoms: (citer 3 cukuplah, nanti ada orang takut nk pregnant lak;)

First, back pain. This pain can be triggered by activities such as walking, climbing stairs, getting in or out of a low chair, twisting, and lifting – ya after finish my classes at the end of the day, I feel really demn pain:(

Second, legs cramp!! Aku selalu kena masa tido…sedang tido. Kesian aku kan. Huhuhu. Sebab? The expanding uterus is pressuring on the veins that return blood from legs to heart. Babycenter.com kata, it may get worse as your pregnancy progresses. Arghhh…AINEE BOLEH!!  What should I do? Actually, I have to have a reqular exercise routine…as simple like walking. It may help to get less attack and build my stamina. Tapi camno ahkak nak jalan, nak shopping (heh, shopping kan equivalent to walking;) tade fulus, nak jalan kat taman, jerebu pulak. Lagi satu, get a mild massage. Heh, adalah 2-3 kali recently Amran urut aku…boleh lah..tq dear!

Third, this is the most disturbing symptom – TAK CUKUP TIDO. Asyik terjaga dan susah nak tido balik. Aku dah beli dah bantal paling panjang dalam dunia..hahaha…pun tak boleh membantu aku.

Anyway, I am blessed with this baby. Lagi 3 bulan je lagi…redah aje!

I went for my monthly check-up last Thursday. I could see clearly my baby figure during the scanning process…ahah.. but this baby didn’t want to reveal the gender yet. And as usual, we saw how the baby kicking, swimming and streching in my tummy. The doctor even said that, my baby was quite active and has loooonnggg legs. Heh, itu normal doctor!

Anyway, Alhamdulillah, there was no problem with my glucose level and my weight has increased to 1.7kg. Heh, bolehlah. So my weight now is 54.7 kg.

Unfortunately, my haemoglobin is 10.5. Meaning, it’s dropping less than normal. The normal level is 11.5 – 16.5. The doctor advised me to eat more green veggie and seafood. Yey. Malam tu jugak aku pegi makan ikan bakar! :p

Husna? She is very happy to ‘have’ this baby. I think she’s ready to accept new member in family. I’ll tell about this in special entry soon.

Sekadar hiasan : Husna 2 hari.

I am 21 weeks (going to 22 wk soon) and I guess I feel pretty ok recently compare to my days for the last 4 months. Once a while, I still vomiting, but not as frequent as before. Alhamdullilah. Which means I have to watch out what I eat since my appetite is getting better now. My weight also has gained – during the last visit was 53kg (tp rasa dah naik lagi ni!).

Obviously, people can see my stomach already. When I entered the class last Monday (first day for this sem), I could see their eyes were looking at my tummy, ceh! This time my tummy is bigger compare to my first pregnancy, I guess it is because of the 2 ‘karung’ and of course, the fat that I have developed all these years! Hahaha..yelah bukan zaman anak dara lagi…

However, it’s difficult for me to find a suitable outfit. The maternity wear is not yet suitable for me. Even I bought ‘S’ size, it is still too big for me. But all my normal clothes MEMANG tak muat! Luckily, I found MotherClub in KLCC, very comfortable, affordable and yang penting muat untuk aku I went also to see ModernMum’s but not only not-trendy but too big for me. Last time I bought MikiMum’s, which was ok but this time pun tak sesuai. Ada jugak baju yang aku beli from South China Sea, beli yang sederhana besar, so bolehlah aku pakai. Anyway, baju kurung aku semua memang boleh pakai lagi cuma kain dia lah..kena bukak zip adjust skit.

For me, it’s important to look good and to feel good during pregnancy. I’m having a problem with my self-esteem, so I do really need to look ‘cantik’ with my clothes. Tak tahulah, but I feel like not to see me in the mirror Salah satu sbb yang aku rasa membawa kepada perasaan ini ialah, maybe sebab aku tak ‘gemuk’…hahaha. Ohh, fyi biasanya orang pregnant ni akan gain weight, so pipi tembam skit, so nampaklah chubby + merah. Tapi aku lain pulak kes nya, berat turun, muka cengkung dan sangat2 pucat!! Heh, tapi takpe…janji baby sihat, and I’m getting better and trying to adapt this new situation.

Kali ni, memang banyak dugaan skit. Antaranya ialah kulit sangat kering dan keluar bintik2 merah, gatal. Ruam2 jugak banyak tumbuh di badanku dan jugak muka. Jerawat pun macam senang je nak tumbuh. Aiyak!! Tapi takpe, ni semua perkara biasa, I can handle it…Ada orang lagi macam2 or teruk2 kena.

Tido? Oh my sleeping beauty is no more beauty. The baby is quite active and I keep visiting the toilet at night. You just imagine, you are very very sleepy but could not sleep!

So mommies, camna? Getting pregnant? Susahnya? Takpe..memang susah skit tapi berbaloi. Allah Maha Berkuasa. DIA dah janji…setiap kesusahan itu akan diikuti dengan kesenangan. 2 kali DIA ulang dalam Surah Al-Insyirah (Alam Nasyrah) ayat 5-6. Pegi check;)

And for the youngsters (esp Khadijah, Adik, Adik Nisa, Bilah, Faiz, Ahmad, Farhan, uitt ramai pulak..aa sapa2 yang bacalah) jangan derhaka pada Ibu. Jangan buat ibu-bapa susah hati pasal kamu. Dahlah susah masa pregnant, nak lahirkan lagi..then nak jaga lagi…tup2 dah besar, melawan pulak. Ewah! (heh, akak nasihat aje..bukan ckp korang melawan..hahaha).

Nantilah aku letak gambar aku (heh, bila aku rasa dah comel skit:p). Till then…choww!

My dear Amran,
I wish I could give a present to show how much you mean to me but I guess the condition of my tummy now, at least could describe it

Happy birthday, sayang. May Allah bless us and hopefully all your wishes come true! Amin.

June is a special month for Amran’s family. His siblings including himself were born in June. Miracle rite? Abah memang pandai bab-bab timing ni
Fauzana -4th June, Salwa – 8th June, Amran – 10th June, Aida – 18th June and lastly Azyan -20th June. Kewl!

Last weekend, we went back to Srg Buaya. Husna was very excited, choosing a card for her aunties and was very happy with the birthday celebration thingy. She even asked a present to give to her aunties but we were so late that night, so we decided to buy later. So on Sunday, before went to BP mall, we did a small celebrations for the girls – nyanyi and potong kek je;). Husna yang paling excited, she even had planned who will blow which candles – of course dia salah sorang yang nak tiup!

So my dearie sisters, happy birthday to all of you. Wishing you everything that brings you happiness today and always. You’ve been blessed with a caring Abah who is always worried (actually) about his 4 daughters. You’ve been blessed with a tall-but-gomuk brother who is always there for his sisters. You’ve been blessed too, with a wanna-be princess niece who is always excited to meet her aunties (esp Awa), and lastly, you’ve been blessed with a loving-sporting-kind-cun-but-buncit, the one and only kakak ipo who is very happy with her 4 in-law sisters

To Ana, bertambah2 rezeki mu hendaknya, kerana kekayaan itu perlu dikongsi bersama2:)
To Azyan, moga dpt kerja yang hebat2, dan boleh dikongsi bersama juga:)
To Awa and Adik, moga rajin2 belajar dan dpt result yang baik. K Ainee doakan!
