Preeclampsia

Assalamualaikum,

Today, I would like to share an info related to pregnancy and postpartum disease called "preeclampsia". Why do I want to share this, later I story-story keh.. Hehehe..

What is preeclampsia?

Preeclampsia is a disorder that occurs only during pregnancy and the postpartum period and affects both the mother and the unborn baby. Affecting at least 5-8% of all pregnancies, it is a rapidly progressive condition characterized by high blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine. Swelling, sudden weight gain, headaches and changes in vision are important symptoms; however, some women with rapidly advancing disease report few symptoms.

Typically, preeclampsia occurs after 20 weeks gestation (in the late 2nd or 3rd trimesters or middle to late pregnancy) and up to six weeks postpartum, though in rare cases it can occur earlier than 20 weeks. Proper prenatal care is essential to diagnose and manage preeclampsia. Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) and toxemia are outdated terms for preeclampsia. HELLP syndrome and eclampsia (seizures) are other variants of preeclampsia.

Globally, preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a leading cause of maternal and infant illness and death. By conservative estimates, these disorders are responsible for 76,000 maternal and 500,000 infant deaths each year.  

Signs and symptoms

• No Symptoms
• Hypertension
• Proteinuria
• Edema (Swelling)
• Sudden Weight Gain
• Nausea or Vomiting
• Abdominal (stomach area) and/or Shoulder Pain
• Lower back pain
• Headache
• Changes in Vision
• Hyperreflexia 

(Source : http://www.preeclampsia.org/)

Basically, that is some information of the disorder called preeclampsia. Do visit the website yeah? There's a lot of information regarding it that u'ols can gain from there, especially for the expecting mothers.. 

Ok, back to why I suddenly wanna share bout this! Unluckily, I had this disorder when I was pregnant with Faris. Ceritanya begini, Everything went ok *err,not really..Something happened on my 28th week of pregnancy, but will tell bout that later lah!hehe..*, until my regular pregnancy check up with my gynae on 1st of March. Masa check up tuh, my blood pressure dah start spiking high. Reading was 156/88.. Doc conveyed her concern, that my BP was way too high from normal reading. But by then, the urine test was still satisfying. 

So, she checked the baby, Alhamdulillah, baby was ok.. Since she couldn't be sure whether BP spiked hari tu je, or memang dah ada tanda-tanda, she ordered me to write down my BP every 2 days and monitor baby's movement. Oleh itu, I terpaksa borrow BP monitor machine Pn Dyana n Enche Totoi *luckily ada kawan2 yg ada leh pinjam.. Kalo tak,jenuh la nak ulang alik klinik cek BP..Hehehe*..

Since machine tu dah ada kat rumah, I check hari-hari je lah.. Lepas bagitau my mom perihal BP tinggi ni, mama pon menggunakan kuasa veto nya mengarahkan kami anak beranak duduk rumah dia je since then.. Dia susah hati kot I was too tired handling Fatin on my own, since hubby selalu balik malam. Kang collapse sorang-sorang kat rumah dengan Fatin, camano?

So next check up, on 13th, doc pon check lah my BP chart. Memang constantly lebih daripada normal reading. Pulak tuh, urine test hari tu, FAIL! Dah ada protein in my urine.. Dia tanya, ada headache tak? Ada, but not constantly. Ada rasa pedih hulu hati tak? Ada,di malam-malam hari..

Doc dah geleng-geleng. Tapi dia nak check baby dulu.. Alhamdulillah, syukur nikmat, baby masih ok. Kicking like usual. Masa dah scan tu, she checked my legs. Memang lah kaki dah bengkak bagaikan belon dah. Then dia cakap camni:

"Barang baby dah ready dah sume?",

I answered, "Alhamdulillah.. Baru je buat last round shopping yesterday..",

She smiled, the she said,"Mama dah ready?",

I macam terkebil-kebil lah jugak kan. Apakah petandanya ini..?

Then only she said, she wasn't happy with my condition that day and the past week. She said, kalau BP tinggi, dia ok lagi, tapi once dah ada protein in urine, dia dah susah hati. Plus I dah ada other symptoms. And since, I was already 38weeks, and baby dah engaged, she didn't want to take the risk to wait anymore longer, malam tu jugak dia admit kan ward and scheduled for me being induced early in the morning the next day...

Oleh itu, lahirlah Muhammad Faris Rusydi on 14th of March tu... Alhamdulillah, syukur, no complication.. Faris and Mama selamat inspite of being diagnosed to have preeclampsia..Syukur juga sebab the symptoms showed at my last weeks of pregnancy.. Kalau terawal, satu hal pulak kena c-zer and baby pre-mature. Jadi Alhamdulillah la, ngam-ngam choi.. Sesungguhnya Allah tu sebaik-baik perancang kan?

So,k lah.. Next time I post pasal kisah 14 march plak! Wahh..gitu.. Dramatik je tajuk kan?Hahaha..

Kawan-kawan yg expecting, take care of yourself ok.. Harap-harap u'ols tak ada lah symptom preeclampsia ni *Naudzubillah hi minzalik*. Though nampak macam notin, but actually, if severe, mmg boleh membawa maut to the mother & baby. Jadi, do take care ok!

Bye, wassalam.

Finger-Print-Less

Assalamualaikum u'olls

Good afternoon.

Hoping that u'ols had a great start of the day.. As for me, I had good one, I guess.. Did something new today.. I had breakfast with my lil angel in my lab! Hahaha.. Kisahnya, I had to send Mama to Terminal Putra this morning. She has meeting at 9am, so she asked my help to send her to Terminal Putra at 8am since her driver is kinda busy playing Golf! *the driver = bodyguard = soulmate = Ayah.. Hahaha...*.

So, we departed from home at 8am. Being a very over-dramatic Mama, I felt guilty to send Fatin too early in the morning.. So I decided to have breakfast together with her first before sending her to Educare. I bought breakfast for both of us and we had it together in my lab. It was fun! *although Mama had to kidnap makcik cleaner's broom right after that to clean the mess..Huhu* .

Botol pink berisi Milo itu tidak dilupakan.. Haha

Steady je minah ni kotorkan lab mama...

Back to topic. It's me who currently having this so-called defect which is fingerprint-less.. No, it's not natural defect. I used to have it when I was born, during childhood, adolescent.. It just quite recently that my fingerprints are like washed out.. Disappear! *sigh..*

Dry & scaly.. Yuck! hehehe

Thumb-print yang dah separuh hilang!

I guess this disease is not rare. Ramai je menghadapi masalah ni rasanya.. It is caused by allergies to various detergents.. In my case, sabun basuh pinggan! Haiya... Suka saya nyatakan di sini, serious, this is not a reason for me to escape from washing the dishes hokay! Huhuhu...

Weird when it started when we moved in to Mama's. Dulu masa duduk rumah sewa tak ada pulak! Maybe because the amount of pinggan mangkuk that need to be washed by then was not as many as now. Skarang basuh pinggan for the whole family.., tuh yang ada effect kot..

Anyway, to be honest, I don't mind at all having the defect pon. It's not that my value kurang ke hape sebab jari jemari tak ada cap jari kan? *Duit hantaran dah dapat penuh dah! Hahaha....*. Cuma macam malu sket nak salam orang la.. My palm surely feel like jalan tar.. Wakakaka..

However, yang menjadi masalahnya sekarang ialah, the lab that I'm staying now (Machine Vision Lab, E-0, KOE)  *pe motif bagi alamat pon tatau...*, using the thumbprint technology to enter the lab! Hadoi mak haih... 

Actually it was there even before I moved in to the lab. Then there were some problem with the scanner, so they had to disable it. It happenned that, during that period lak I moved in. So memang I was saved by that la. but just few days back, the contractor came and repaired the scanner and now it's working, I lah yang ada masalah besar!

Kalau setakat tercongok 5-10 minutes in front the door just to be able to enter the lab biasalah! Luckily, the lab members usually tak close the door rapat. Diorang pon tak kuasa nak bangun bukak pintu agaknya! Lebih baik biar pintu tak rapat.. Haha

So, starting from now, I have to really care about my precious fingers. Doctor advised for me to use glove everytime doing the house chores. especially when it involves water and detergent. Tau tak nak sarung glove tuh leceh?. Plus, Fatin has kinda phobia towards the gloves.  Everytime she saw me with the gloves, dia menangis and started to be drama queen right away!! Haih...

Let's wear glove, girls! (Source : google)

BUT, Taking into consideration that I need my fingerprints to be there for my own convenience, leceh-leceh pon buat juga lah!

Other than that, I make sure I always have lotion with me. One at home, one in the lab, another one in my handbag. So everytime after washing hands, tenyeh balik lotion kat jari jemari. Making sure they are all moisturize all the time... 

FYI, that is soo not me.. Honestly, I'm not kind of girl who is always equipped with lotions and stuff in my handbag. So to make it a routine now *dah tua bangka ni..*, is soo difficult, I tell you... That's why kena ada 2,3 bottles of lotion and just placed it respectively to make sure I tak lupa..

Some of the lotions that I'm using (Source : Google)

Hopefully, my counter-measure for this issue do help and work! InsyaAllah.. Jenuh juga nak keluar masuk lab kalau tak ada cap jari nih... Plus, all banking transactions at the counter need thumbprint as verification nowadays.. At this point of time, I rasa technology cenggih-cenggih ni troublesome! Huhuhu..

But one good thing about having this defect is, Enche Suami has made a promise that later when we move out to our own house, he will do the dish-washing.. Yeay!!!! I hope he is not regretting  his decision to make that promise now.. Hahaha... Moral of the story, eventho dugaan yang Allah bagi might gives us headache and make us having a tough time now, InsyaAllah, there will be some good events afterwards.. Hehehe.... *wink,wink to Enche Suami..*

K lah, that's all! 

Till next time u'ols... 

Wassalam...

Mama, Saya Lapar..

Assalamualaikum u'olls...

Salam Ramadhan.. How are u'olls on the 1st day of Ramadhan.. I'm hoping that u'olls are in good health and even more energetic and alert than normal days.. InsyaAllah... 

Guess everyone knows that fasting shouldn't be an excuse for us to be weak, slow and worse becoming lazy.. Allah will never ask HIS servants to do anything that will cause bad effects to us. But unfortunately in Malaysia, we grew up with that perception.. Ramadhan is the month to relax-relax.., malas-malas.., tido-tido.. As if, when we're fasting, we can't do much/any work.. *yours truly pon sama dengan je... Haih...*

Patutnya tak camtuh kan? Do you guys remember the sirah, where Rasulullah s.a.w and sahabat even went to war during Ramadhan!! Amazing kan? Jom, baca sikit pasal Perang Badar.

Hehe.. Ok, now, back to the original topic.. Kisah Mama, Saya Lapar.. hehe.. Actually, I just wanna share with u'olls, I just bought a book entitled Mama, Saya Lapar written by Wardina Safiyyah *Oh.., I adore this woman!!*.. I believe, most of you mommies knew this book, and I believe most of you had it already..

Actually, I was introduced to this book by a very good friend of mine.. Pn Izzah Sidek.. *Thanks Cik Jah!!*.. Lama dah.. In fact, almost a year dah.. It was Ramadhan last year when we double date for iftar secara berjemaah.. Hehe.. She lent me her copy. Masa tuh, Fatin was just started to take solid. So, she let me borrow the book for my guidance.. It do really helps.. Banyak yang I belajar from the book.. 

So, after a year, and since I guess Izzah might also need the book now for her kids *we mommies always need to refer to something isn't it?*, so I decided to have my own copy.. Thus, it's easier for me to refer.. Although I dah katam sekali baca buku tuh, tapi of course lah tak dapat nak hafal semua info dalam tuh kan? So, better ada my own copy for reference.. 

And I tell u'olls what, memang sangat worth it to buy this book.. Banyak graphics and the points are elaborated in such an interesting and eye-catchy way.. 

Information? Of course loadssss of it.. Ada certain things that we might think remeh, tapi bila kita hadapi masalah tuh, kita garu kepala tak tau nak buat apa.. Contohnya masalah anak dengan sayur.. *tak payah anak la, kadang-kadang the mommies & daddies pon ada problem dengan sayur! Haha*.. Then how to handle children yg liat sangat nak makan.. Then ada jugak info on breastfeeding.. And yg I paling suka, ada some recipes that Wardina suggests for kids berbeza-beza ikut umur.. For me yg slalu pening apa nak bagi anakanda makan ni, memang a big help la..

So, I memang recommend for mommies yang looking for reference for your kids's diet and eating habit, this book is just perfect!

I surely believe, the book is available in any book store. Sebab the penerbit is Alaf21.. But, I bought my copy via online je.. Haha.. Biasala, I kan pemalas.. So, ada online, rembat terus. I ordered thru Karangkraf Mall. Price is RM19.90 sahaja.. :)

Together with "Mama, Saya Lapar" book, I also ordered a novel, entitled "Valentina Nervosa".. Actually, the author of this novel was my schoolmate masa kat SMKA Kuala Selangor dulu.. Nurul Syahida.. The novel is super best! *not because she's my friend or watsoeva, but citer tuh memang best tau!*.. I dah baca 2 of her novels. This "Valentina Nervosa" and "Aku kan Novelis". Both of it memang tak mengecewakan.. Khusyuk nih baca.. *sampai geram ngan Fatin bila ngada-ngada tarik perhatian bila mama tengah layan novel.. Ish..ish..ish... Bad Mama...! *

Going to get another 2 of her novels soon.. "Plain Jane" and "Soalnya Hati"..

Therefore for friends yang suka baca novel *dan berangan we are the heroin of the story while reading it..oooppss...*, try to read one of Nurul Syahida novel, terbitan Buku Prima, I guarantee, u'olls mesti nak carik her karya yang lain.. Hehe.. Such a talented author! *aih.. up member lebih nampak! Haha..*

Books yang BEST!!

Guess that's all for now.. Till next time.. Have a good day, selamat berpuasa, dan berbuka puasa u'olls!! Muuaaahh... ;p

Loads of love, 

* Farah Jasni*

Fulfilling dear Ana request.. :)

Assalamualaikum u'olls...

Hoping that u'olls are in great health.. I'm not.. Huhuhuhu... *hukhukhuk..ceh..,tiba-tiba batuk..*

I'm down with flu *mode : no smelling sense at all.. Haih..*, and cough looks like gonna visit me soon.. Halamak hai.. I dunno, guess the weather is bad now.. Coz, it's not only me, but my sissy and Mama also caught flu.. Kasihan sissy.. She's currently in her exam period now.. Hope Allah will make it easy for you Angah! Amin.. :)

So today I lepak-lepak kat rumah je.. Went back home after sending Fatin to Educare this morning.. Oh, dropped by at pharmacy dekat Greenwood ni, to buy Fatin's flu&cough syrup.. Dah habis dah.. Beli farmasi je la.. Tak larat nak pi Sg Buloh nu pi clinic paed yg we usually bring her to.. 

Oh.., btw, before I lupa.. This is specially for my babe, Ana Zainuddin.. U asked me to write bout the medicine that Fatin's been using for her flu & cough problem kan? Ok, there are 2, err...how shud I say it, mm, inhaler la yg Fatin is on now... The name is Flixotide and Ventolin.. 

source : google

source : google

And the device to assist the spray and inhaling process is called Aerochamber. 

source : google jugak

source : juga google..hahaha

Fatin was first prescribed Ventolin when she was 10months old.. *yeah.. I know.., she was sooo young at that time.. Huhuhu..*. But during that time, she was attacked by a very bad cough and flu.. After her 2nd day at nursery.. Can you believe that, only two days..!! And before that, she was a perfectly a healthy baby with no flu, cough, fever and whatsoeva.. But yeah.., what do you expect.. That is the risk that you have to bear once sending your child to a crowd of strangers.. Kita jaga anak kita baik-baik, tapi kalau ada anak orang flu/batuk ke, nak berjangkit, jangkit jugak.. Out of our control.. So, terima je lah..

Ok, back to the story, since the attack was quite long, and I started to worry *oh yeah..typical me.. Worry and I are very good friends.. ;p* we brought her to one of the pediatrician near by here at Wangsa Maju. Doc checked her chest and said ada wheezing. And due to her, the wheezing is caused by the phlegm is already in her chest.. So, doc tried to clear it by putting the gas mask and of course the gas at the clinic. Unfortunately, that was not enough. So she prescribed the Ventolin and of course we need to buy the Aerochamber device sekali lah.. *memang Enche Ayah kena ketuk kaw-kaw punya bayar medical bill ini budak kicik.. hihi..*

Since then, flu and cough come and go.. Bila ada attack, we used the ventolin, kalo tak de, we stopped.. But, we are not really happy that the attack is keep coming and go.. Kejap-kejap kang flu.. Batuk.. Susah hati la gak.. So we decided to try to see other PAED.. So we went to a Klinik Pakar Kanak-Kanak Serena at Sg Buloh. Then she said, the wheezing was still there.. Then she said, we still need to continue Ventolin, and she prescribed the Flixotide plak.. This Flixotide is actually to protect Fatin's lungs from the attack.. 

Due to this PAED lak, actually, bukannya phlegm tuh really in her lungs, that caused the wheezing, but actually, bila ada virus (from the phlegm), so her airways tube tuh will create some layer to protect the virus from attacking.. So, sebab itu ada wheezing, sebab airways dah narrow.. So, Ventolin's job is to kill the virus, and Flixotide is to protect her from the virus.. Because her body needs time to remove the layer that was created earlier.. Kalau asik kena attack je, the layer will thicken and thicken.., so bertambah teruk.. Itu her professional explanation la.. 

So, start from that day, Fatin kena spray Flixotide twice a day everyday, sampai 6months.. Then bila ada attack (flu/cough) cepat-cepat start Ventolin.. 

Jadi, begitulah ceritanya.. I know, some of you must feel sorry for Fatin sebab kecik-kecik dah ada ubat spray-spray macam orang asthma.. I pon at first rasa macam tuh.. Ada at one time, I rasa nak stop the spray, but suddenly, Fatin's teacher told me a story that one of the teacher's child passed away because of cough.. I was like..APA??? The symptom was just a normal cough.. Maybe the parents thought it just a normal cough, so they just pandang sebelah mata.. But, after some time, it was getting serious, only then they brought arwah to hospital.. But then it was too late already, because arwah's lungs were already attacked by the virus and killed her in just a few days.. She was only 1 year plus..

Since then I memang amik serious pasal hal-hal batuk Fatin ni.. Seriau wooo.. Ye lah, we never know what will happen.. Kalau doc dah prescribed camtuh, I follow je la.. Tak kisah la orang nak kata apa..

By the way, kalau the mothers noticed, kadang-kadang bila anak u'olls batuk, dapat gak ubat Ventolin, but maybe in liquid form.. So Fatin punya ni is just the same like u'olls got, tapi in gas form.. Easier to handle, sbb masa dia tidur pon kita leh bagi ubat.. :) And Fatin did show quite an improvement, Alhamdulillah.. Cuma baru-baru nih je kena serang balik after quite long she's free from flu & cough.. Huhuhu.. I tatau la.. I rasa udara kurang bersih skang ni.. jerebu.. Sedangkan kita orang tua kena, apatah lagi si cenonet tuh..

So k lah.. 

Ana Zainuddin dear, 

hope it answers your question.. Try la tanya kat PAED Sarah.. Aku rasa yg dia dok bagi kat sepital tuh Ventolin or Flixotide juge.. But anyway, no harm asking.. Mintak opinion professional.. hehe..

Till next time u'olls... Bye..

Wassalam..

*** To be honest, actually I was planning on writing something else... Hahaha.. tetibe teringat lak my dear friend request, so, yg nih dulu la.. Later la tulis pasal hal lagi satu tuh.. Kalo rajin.. hihihi...***

Loads of love, 

* Farah Jasni*

Alamak...ye ke?

Assalamualaikum u'olls...

Alamak... Betul ke nih? Iye ke?

Betul ke badan I dah naik?? Ala.... Cane ni? 

Yesterday evening, Mama bagitau kat I, dia rasa badan I dah naik...

I pon rasa, macam betul.. Sebab I tengok my wrist dah tembam.. Hadoi... Lagipon, Fatin dah tak breastfeed as frequent as before.. But, the amount of food that I consume everyday, sama je.. Jadi, memang logic je kalo badan I naik.. Haduih...

Ngadu kat enche suami, dia buat dek je.. Asik cakap, "Sapa cakap? Sapa cakap?"

Haih....

I risau ni... 

Haih..., tak leh jadi..

I kena buat sesuatu... I kena DIET....! Dah kena start berjogging setempat kat treadmill lah! Haih.....

Worried...

Assalamualaikum u'olls..

Hi! I'm at home today.. Not going to UIA. Fatin either.. She's still not fully recovered.. Still having diarrhea.. And since yesterday evening, she vomited 2 times.. 

Haihhh...., I'm worried... 

Going to bring her to see the paed la petang nih.. Though dah bawak dah pi clinic ari tuh, but, I tak sedap hati, nak bawak pi pediatrician gak la... Sebab tak baik-baik gak pon... Huhuhu.. Just worried if anything serious.. Naudzubillah, harap-harap tak la.. But, still, better worry than sorry..

Ya Allah, sihatkan lah anak aku.. Tak sampai hati tengok dia sakit... *Sobb...sobb..*

Carca Merba... Ayoyo...

Salam U'Olls..

Uhuk...uhuk..uhuk... *Batuk-batuk since the blog is soooo berdebu tahap "red alert"!!

Ya..ya... I pemalas... I tau... My bad.. Huhuhu..

To be honest, I wasn't feeling very well lately (since last 3weeks plus kot..)

Fever - Cough + flu - Sakit mata - Diarrhea - Cold + flu - Fever..

FYI, the sequence is not wrongly typed, it did cycle that way.. Baru je baik fever, kena penyakit lain plak, then the fever re-visited me again.. Huhuhu

Innalillah wa inna lillah hirrajiun.. In fact the cough and flu is still going on up to now.. But Alhamdulillah, the condition is much better now than before..

Haish..when we were tested with sickness, we tend to be, you know, complaining a lot.. Kan? Me myself complained a lot.. At times, I felt so geram and angry that I couldn't do certain things that I wanna do while I'm sick. And geram badan tak larat but still, responsibilities were waiting to be accomplished. Especially tasks related to my dear daughter..

Astaghfirullah.. Hopefully Allah forgive for some complaints that I've made..


Anyway....


Lets not talk further on penyakit-penyakit nih... I'm so tired of it! Hahaha..

Actually, I've a lot of stories to tell.. But since dah terlampau banyak, sampai I pon dah forgotten what story I wanted to tell... Wakakaka.. Aci tak??

I went thru my list of posts and saw there are few drafts of entry that is unfinished and certainly unpublished la kan.. So, I pick up one of it, and going to continue and publish that today..
(mission of the day... jeng..jeng...jeng...)


So, the entry that I chose, is Contest Baby Tido...

I saw a friend of mine, Nurul join this one contest namely Contest Baby Tido..

In fact, she tagged me in her post.. Hehehe.. (Thanks Nurul!)

I entered the link and go through the site that organized the contest and it seems, the contest is quite interesting.. So, I decided to join gak la! Hahaha... Cuba nasib.. Lagipon, notin to lose pon..

Unfortunately, by the time I cukup rajin to complete the entry, the contest is no longer valid.. Closed for participation already... So bad.... *Sigh....

Anyhow, I still want to do this post coz I wanna share my baby's expression while sleeping... :)

For u'olls info, Cik Fatin Amani Mohd Rozaidi is a very aggressive sleeper (wujud ke perkataan ni.. Pakai hentam je... Haha...)


Since she was few days old in this world, she already showed some interesting post in sleeping.. Haha.. And tell u'olls what, her kain bedung mesti finally tercabut tangan dah terkeluar dah.. Tak padan dengan badan tecit, lasak nya bukan main.. I still remembered she was struggling to get her hands out from the kain bedung until her face went red.. Macam meneran tuh.. Oh, FYI, the bedung was tied by ibu mertuaku.. Kalo den yg ikat, confirm, hujung jari je Fatin Amani nak keluarkan tangan... Tak sampai hati nak ikat ketat-ketat... Hihihi..

Sleeping while thinking on the world's issue...

Menongkat dagu..

Tengok tuh.. Dah sampai hujung cot dah..

After she gets older.., she becomes more aggressive while sleeping.. When she was 4months, she started to learn how to roll on her back. Bertambahlah kelasakkan Fatin Amani masa tido.. That was about time the baby cot that we bought for her is no longer suitable for her.. Mana tak, middle in the night she was like, rolling2 dalam baby cot dia tuh (and plz take note, her eyes were actually closing..) sampai langgar the gates of the cot.. Bila dah langgar, dia pon jaga la.. Satu hal plak nak tidurkan balik..

As a result, I decided not to use the cot anymore, instead, bawak je dia tido with us on our bed.. We put her in the middle between us so that "dia tak turun katil by herself" without parental guidance.. Wakaakka...

Sujud dalam tido???? Hihihi.. She was eager learning how to crawl this time. Since she was so enthusiastic to crawl, she practiced while sleeping.. Oh dear..

Even in the cradle pon I leh pusing.. Takde hal punya...

It was ok for a while, but after some time, she started to 'take-over' the territory by rolling-rolling around the katil and pushed her Mama & Ayah to the very edge of the bed... Hadeh.. Sakit pinggang org tua berdua ni terpaksa tidur static all nights sebab takut jatuh katil.. Hahaha..

Therefore, we finally decided to buy a single bed for her.. So that she has a wider space just for her to guling-guling and Mama and Ayah get our own sweet space to sleep on.. Teeeheee...


So, up to now, she is still using her own bed to sleep. But now that she is able to cross from hers to ours, some sweet nights ada gak la makcik nih sondol-sondol nak menyibuk jugak tido kat katil Mama n Ayah.. Terpaksa la Mama & Ayah adjust the position to allocate spaces for her to sleep in between.. And usually, one of us (either me or hubby) mesti end up tidur kat katil Fatin Amani plak.. Haishh.. Anak dara Mama nih!

I'm crossing over from mine..to "mine" also.. Hehehe

Smiling on her new bed

So that's about it.. Fatin Amani's sleeping attitude.. Hahaha.. But regardless of how aggressive-sleeper she is, I still think she is the most kawai creature ever while sleeping... (Ye..saya perasan lagi anak saya comel.. Of cos la kot.., I'm her mother for god sake... Hehehe..)

Till next time... Bye... Wassalam..

p/s - currently I'm enjoying reading this one blog : Maria Helena is Greek Helen... Suka sangat minah ni.. Cool, sempoi, and ada attitude.. I LOL watching the videos she made.. Looking fwd for her next entry n video.. ;p

Cobaan….

Salam..

Eii….., I geramnya.. Where the h**l is my parcel??????

U'olls remember bout the Shaklee pack that I ordered yang I story last time? I'm so mad coz I still haven't received my d**n parcel!! Hadoi….. Ni betul-betul testing my patient nih!

Know what, it's like I'm soo unlucky this time. As I mentioned before, I made the order on 17^th Dec (Friday). It's been, like, 1week plus kot!! Since till last Wednesday, I still didn't receive my Shaklee, I texted the dealer telling her that I still haven't received my order. And she was surprised coz usually it will only take one day for the customer to receive the goods. So, she checked it up with Shaklee HQ and it turned out that Shaklee HQ accidentally missed out my order… I was like.., "Ok.., everybody makes mistake..". So I decided to just wait.. They had shipped the parcel on Thursday.

So by right, I should have received the parcel by Friday.. But I didn't! Now, problem with Citylink, the courier plak! I checked in the system (the dealer gave me the consignment no), and it stated there.."received by".. Again, I was like "WHAT THE H**L!!! Bila plak aku received my parcel woi!!!"

And it so happened, when I checked, it was over 5pm, and the office already closed. And lebih interesting, the next day is Christmas day.. So they closed for the whole weekend. And I can't check with them what was actually happening. How on earth they claimed my parcel was received, yet, I didn't not receive anything!! Kan??

I dah bertambah bengang la kan..

This morning, pagi-pagi buta, I called citylink to check. The operator said, "You will receive your parcel anytime today..". Then I asked, "if I'm only receiving it by today, how come in the system u mentioned it is received??". Then she said, "Oh..it's because, the parcel is already received by the driver to be sent to you". And I was like, WHAT???? Apa pny putar belit alam la korang nih!! Isn't it confusing???? Kalo customer tengok, tak ke cuak? Kan? Tol tak? Tol tak? Korang nak inform driver ke, nak inform customer?? Aduhai….

Then my dealer said, due to Shaklee HQ, I should received my goods before 2pm by today… Dahhhh, it's 416pm kot!!! Ayah said, still tak ada lagi…

Hmmmm…. Pukul baper la baru nak dapat my Shaklee nih agaknya… Grrrrr….

Susah btol nak menjadi sihat nih…

Cobaan!!! Cobaan!!!!

Jangan sampai I bertukar jadi makhluk hijau yg besar itu…. Kang I penyek kan sorang2 kang…

Oh btw, I tak marah my dealer tuh, coz she is so sweet and caring along the way.. Very responsible! Thanks Lyna!!! Lagipon bukan salah dia.. She did what she is suppose to do… So, no reason to blame her pon…

Tapi I bengang dengan Shaklee sbb missed my order at the 1^st place, and Citylink yg buat system macam haram and lambat hantar my parcel!!!

Really guys… I need B-complex utk kurangkan stress ni!!!

Haishhhh……..

Back In Action!

Salam u'olls...

Mechanical Vibration with Dr Asan Ghani, Intelligent Machines with Dr Nahrul Khair, Image processing & Computer Vision with Prof OOK (HOD ECE department and ya, it is an ECE course.. Gatal pi amik course ECE.. Hahaha) and Research Methodology with Dr Raisuddin Khan.

Initially, I have class on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. And of course the classes are conducted at the very interesting time, at 5pm – 8pm (sigh…..). But, last week, in my Image Processing class, we all agreed to change the time for the class to some other time..

And to make it more interesting, it is changed to Wednesday, from 2pm – 5pm….

So kesimpulannya, on Wednesday, I have class from 2pm – 8pm straight!!! Interesting kan???? Huuuuwaaaa…

And Wednesday was Yesterday. And MasyaAllah, it was hectic!! Haishh… Sangat huru hara..

I sent Fatin to her school at 1015am. Saje hantar lambat, so that I can spend more time with my budak tecit tuh… Since I thought, I wouldn’t be able to come in the afternoon to feed her, so I spent about half an hour there, in Educare to feed and play with her… Ye lah, nak tengok muka dia puas-puas, sebab malam lak baru jumpa… Rindu tau…. Huhuhu..

Lepas tuh I went straight to Lab. Lepak there, waiting for class. Sambil tuh pump susu for today’s stock.. Actually while writing nih pon I am pumping.. Haha..

Semenjak hantar Fatin to Educare nih, baru terasa jenuh nak mengepam siang malam.. Huhuhu.. Before this, direct feed je. Tinggal stock pon jz for the 3 hours I’m off to class.Now nak mencukupkan stock for a day pon bercinta..

Everyday, I prepare 7oz (3.5oz per bottle), sometimes 8oz to be left at Educare stock for a day, from 10am – 4pm (lebey kurang la).. Fatin is now taking solid, so she doesn’t need much of milk during daylight.. Tapi I perasan, sejak she stays at Educare nih, malam memang kow-kow pny gayut… Dalam bahasa Jawa nye.., ‘ngempeng’… Lepas gian agaknya.. huhuhu…

Ok…I deviate too much now.. Back to the student’s routine ok.. At 2pm, I went for the OOK’s class. And as expected, he spent the sweet 3 hours. Ada la break for 15min, in the middle of the class. Haishhh… Finished the class at 5pm, rushing to Lab for Asar prayer, then rushed to the 2^nd class, Intelligent Machine..

Lucky me, the lecturer was quite late yesterday.. So, ada la masa amik napas jap.. We finished the class at 730pm. Solat Maghrib, then balik rumah… Balik-balik je, my baby n her Ayah dah ada depan pintu… Weeeee… Sangat rindu kamu berdua… Walobagaimanapon, instead of terus bermain dengan lil gurl, I went straight to meja makan and had dinner.. Sebab I WAS starving like h**l.. My last meal was at 1130am kot!!! Mana tak macam hantu raya aku kelaparan... Huhuhuhu

(Oh off the record, tapi dalam kereta I dah membaham satu peket kerepek ubi dengan lajunya sbb dah menggigil kelaparan.. And I didn’t consider that as MAKAN, sbb skang I dah jadi dinasour! Hahaha).

But I tell u’olls, I was rili exhausted! Hadeh… Sangat-sangat memerlukan supplement… Ha..talking ‘bout supplement plak.. Actually, I did ordered a set of Shaklee vitamins. The set is special for nursing moms. There are Vita-C, Vita-Lea, B-Complex (the one I need most!) and Alfafa in the set..

I tried a trial pack (supply for a month) before, and I think it did help in boosting my energy and making my milk become ‘better’, in a sense, it becomes thicker and Fatin doesn’t have to consume much to be full. So, last Friday, I ordered again. This time, a complete pack which can last for 4months +.

Nak dijadikan cerita, ada problem sket with my order. So up to today, I haven’t received my goods.. However, since the dealer is sooo nice and take full responsible on it, I tak kisah la.. Hopefully I’ll get it some time soon.. InsyaAllah…

Petang nih, another 2classes.. Research Methodology and Mechanical Vibration. So will be back late, again.. Fatin, wait for Mama, ok.. Jangan tidur awal sangat…!

Oh, nak selit gak.. Tadi teacher Fatin called. She said, if I can’t make it to come to see her this afternoon pon takpe. Since my baby is playing happily with new friends!!! Yeahhh!!!!!! Fatin is now happy staying there.. That’s the most important thing for me, for my girl to be happy and healthy.. Alhamdulillah..

Ok lah.. C ya again, InsyaAllah….

Ganbatte-neh Mama Farah!!

Kill The Virus..

Salam all...

Hi all.. Today, Fatin is not going to school.. MC.. Haha.. She is down wif mild fever + cough + early sign of cold...

OH MY GOD!!

It's only 2 days out from home, she already been attacked by the nasty virus.. And yes, I know, I should expect that when sending our child to nursery.. Huhuhu..

But kesian my lil angel, her cough is quite bad.. Mesti sakit tekak dia bile batuk..

She started to show the symptoms last evening.. And getting worse late at night. Didn't sleep very well.. Maybe tak selesa.. Allah, sedangkan kita org besar bila batuk n cold dah ase tak sedap badan, ini plak baby, ye dak.. Dok merengek.. Sian anak mama...!!

So, I brought her to see her paediatrician this morning. Got some ubat, and also asked about suitable vaccines for babies especially those who are sent to nursery.. Almaklumla.., meet up and mix up wif few other kids.. Probability to be infected is quite high..

The doc suggested Pneumococcal vaccine and Influenza v

accine.. According to her, these 2 vaccines should do to protect the child from some common viruses usually infected at the childcare..

So now, I'm considering either to take the vaccines for Fatin or not to.. Maybe nak amik satu je, or amik dua-dua.. Hmm.....

Doc also said actually for the children to be infected with cold and cough, also fever at child care ni ada pro & con.

The pro point is, as the body trying to fight the virus, the babies' antibody will develop naturally makes their body resistance is higher next time around.. Yes, correct, I aware of that..

BUT

the CON point plak is, the viruses nowadays are very NAS

TY (babab die tuh!!!) and dangerous. They are somehow have evolved jadi powerful plaknye. So our baby's small body, sometimes, can't afford t

o fight the powerful viruses, eg : the H1N1.. So the consequences, once affected is terrible.. And that is what I'm afraid of.. Naudzubillah hi min zalik... So the vaccines do help in protecting their body from getting infected...

So, I rasa macam nak amik the shot for my baby... The cost, hmmmm, mmg agak menduga budget la..(dah la bulan ni budget dah RED ALERT.. Huhu)

But due to a friend, kalau dah asik keluar masuk clinic and hospital sebab asik demam and selsema, tak sama je ke cost nya??

Ye jugak...

Hmm.., korang ase?? Appreciate if you guys can share some opinion or experience pasal vaccines nih...
