Malam selasa 27/8 went to visit Liza at the hospital...
She gave birth to a 2.6kg baby girl Aisya Alysa...
previously dia ade problem... lama dah trying...
finally it happened.. tumpang happy for her...
die kata die jumpa doktor yg also chinese herbalist...
makan ubat stock2 beso cam pill kuda...
satu pill RM10 gitu....
point aku citer ni, kalau sesapa ade masalah, maybe can try this method...
nanti aku leh fwd enkorang kat diorang heehhehe......



anyways.. newborn!! soo cute and soo small!!
amir lahir2 dah 3.5 kilos.... soo tak merasa aku baby cinonet gini...
aku cam biasa promote BF...
tapi tak promote gile2, nanti org ingat aku saiko and obsess (eventhough I might be that!)
tapi aku jawab je pertanyaaan.... and promote sket2...
coz seblum kitorang masuk, die tengah BF... lama gile 4 jam kot... tapi baby still cry..
so die agak stress and maybe rase selfblame (kot? ni teori aku)...
so explain la napa its not her fault.... normal aa ni...
I could go on and on on what todo and what to expect...
tapi restraint myself hahahaaa.....

tapi tengok newborns.. also teringat balik zaman horor awal2 life with a newborn...
huhhhhh... penaaattt!...good luck acap and liza hehehe...


amir lak demam.... badan panas...
disebabkan die jarang demam... high temp sket org semua dah cuak hahahah
tak batuk or selsema pon (yet)...
tapi die memerap.... nak dokong je...
aku masak pun nak dokong... so slinged him using RS while cooking
(bahaya ni)... tapi die senyap and lemah lesu... so okayla...
tak la rase bahaya sgt.... hip carry yg jauh dari api...
usually I cant sling him inside the house.. mesti meronta2 nak keluar and main jalan sana sini...
arini masak flat noodle (egg noodle) for amir....




petang... rafiq bawak die jalan2 kat luar.. sambil aku wash dishes....
rafiq kata die nak excercise....(he is obsessed with his weight now)...
so jauh gak depa jalan.. at one point aku rase cam.. lamanye...
takut "anything" ke ape....
taula subang jaya camne kan...

loaning Hanim's Angelpack (AP)... this one same as Shida's kan?
I can never get the APLX, APPS1, APPS2, AP eco straight in my brain.. feninn..
memang AP is very light.... Twill fabric ek?
I think the O&A is 2 kali ganda berat AP...
Didnt think the O&A was that heavy.. tapi bila compare... mmg berat aaa


Ade O&A made from Twill...
tapi aku nak kelembutan brushed denim and sturdyness...
I was warned that brushed denim is the heaviest fabric option..
I was expecting real heavy la kot...
masa dpt tu tak seperti heavy expectation aku..
so okay la gak...


But I am more comfy with the O&A... berat pun berat aaa..
amir dah 11 kg... I need supportive fabric....
tapi aku rase pikkolo/ABC/Beco pun berat?
AP memang ringan aaah..


Amir ngantuk hahahha...







I feel so ranggi wearing cream straps.......
Shida punye brown AP tu okay lagi...

weekend yang rajin nak memasak...
usually I give calciyum yogurt, cracker and cheese (unsalted cracker and low fat cheese)... nestum with milk, oat with milk... bananas.. fruits ..
all the easy, fast options.. (ni la definition fast food amir)..
or toast with whatever...

aku masak....
mee goreng....(okay, jgn kecoh.. its healthy)
its not mee... but its organic carrot stick noodle....
minyak... is sprayed light olive oil....
although I did put a bit of garlic butter for taste...
bawang, pepper sket... ayam and mixed vege...(the only vege that exists in my house)
2 eko ikan bilis goreng yg diserbukkan for protein/taste (i.e salt)
~2 drops of kicap.. i.e salt sket...again for taste

not that he eats... nak makan, kalau die yg sendiri suapkan... baru die makan...
aku suap die tanak... he has boundary issues la kid...
tapi i think 15 cm je kot yg masuk perut hahaha

pastu aku masak tricolor twisty pasta... masak sama gaya cam kat atas...



ni la rupa rambut amir sebenar..



aku takde la obsess on healthy food..
kalau ade healthy options aku bagi..
kalau takde... aku bagi yg ada....
(macam time makan luar.. aku bagi je fish/chicken/roti butterscoth/ iceblended coklat aku/mashed potato + no gravy/ waffle aku)...
fries pun aku bagi... tapi die makan like 1/2 a fry je... die tak suka..
baguslaa coz fries is ssooo unhealthy...
tapi kalau aku bagi pun 3-4 tiny suap jelah..
vitagen pun aku slalunye waterdown sket...
pandai2 la budget...
p/s: bagus gak digestives die sejak minum probitik nihs..

coke, air gas tak penah bagi... sweets/lollipop pun tak penah bagi...
aiskrem kalau bagi pun satu sudu teh je....
cukup to satisfy his curiosity bout what is it yg kitorang makan...
but sugar and fat tak concern sangat...
most concerned bout garam...

saje aku nak tulis, sebab ...
adik aku email aku, bebel suruh bagi makan healthy food aje..
cakap senang.. tapi tak pratical to be too obsessed...


pastu suruh kurangkan susu after 1 year..
and stop night feeding...
again... cakap senang......
u think i like waking up night after night.....?


last week la paling gile... sebab tetiba reverse cycle...
asik susu susu susu malam.... sebabnye siang tak makan...
this whole week die pelik sket... extra ngada... extra perlu attention
and just wants milk... milk .. milk..
stress aku.... pagi tadi rase cam putuskan BF and bg formula je..
sebab aku sungguh stresss....
but like Ray cakap.. its phase... hopefully will be over soon...

Sesi photoshoot outdoors bersama uncle hossen..

Amir suka playground...
terkekek2 gelak nonstop lepas aku letak die on the ground to walk..
suka betul freedom to run around...



..

..

..

slide.. tak reti naik.. main panjat2 je lah...



..

.

.

.

time to go home... peluh peluh kau...


byk sgt gamba... letak yg okay jelah... abaikan muka tak mandi, no mekap aku tuh

mye

akhirnye baru terungkai persoalan pam bising nih...


aku baru sedar, bila aku pakai freestyle, pumping, everything dah lekap...
bunyik die lagi senyap dari kalau the pump is on and nothing is connected...
same with swing...

so aku selama ni dok bandingkan bunyik swing (yg aku on kan je... takde sape pakai.. takkan aku nak pakai swing org kot)
with the sound of my freestyle yg bunyik time aku pam/ aku pakai..

so aku rase freestyle bunyik slow-er

i think org yg ade swing.. then dengar freestyle pun cam tu gakla..
so diorang rase freestyle bising-er...

papehal pun dedua lagi bising dari spectra..
but after 2 days stuck in KLIA hangar... semua tempat pumpable yg dekat ngn opis takde power outlet... so thank god for FS... senang gile aku ngepam kat memana pun, aman bahagia, just carik bilik secluded je... dulu with spectra, aku jalan jauh.... 100 meter lebeh gitu semata2 nak gi pam sebab kena ade power outlet...


tapi nih... si An tu beli from US and die hantar balik utk servis...
http://neeza79.blogspot.com/2009/07/kenapa-nak-jual.html
maybe can ask her how that works... US warranty
brape lama nak servis, shipping semua sape tanggung etc etc...
die ade FS... then rase cam tak stabil.. so die antar perbetulkan kat US
sambil tu die tak tahan nak tunggu, die beli PISA.... tapi rase tak sebest FS...
then beli lagi satu FS sebab ingatkan expecting...
tu yg die nak jual satu tu... (dah terjual)

Hot n stuffy. Stuck here 4 da day.

amir cranky sket time ni....
mama die sebok jugak nak suruh die main...
supaya dapat rakam video hahahha....

me an rafiq thought that we have encouraged and trained him a lot physically...
jalan and turun tangga dah lepas..
now concentrate mentally pulak...
eye hands coordination plak...

so rafiq bought these rings toys and also a cloth book...
beli cloth book tu inspired by ari and his duck book....
rafiq yg gi shopping.. die cuti, die shopping sakan toys amir...
but the lamaze book yg he chose was goood and entertaining..
got a duck in one of the page... detachable...
kagum gak ngn rafiq pilih buku ni... coz u know... he's a guy....



anyways ni video amir masukkan rings..
cant believe I can get excited over small2 things...
like able to put a ring in a bar...
tapi fisher price pun buat yg the toppest ring kaler merah tu extra special... ade bola bola and kilat2 sket.. so amir lagi suka ring yang tu.... so asik nak masukkan yang tu jer...

another important milestone is... amir can sedut straw....
so boleh bagi drink with straws....

worn it.... and it is awesome!!...
I'd say without a doubt the best SSC I have worn/tried.....
semua perfect.. really2 really comfy and fittong very good for my body
except 1 thing only...

I think 16" is not high enough for amir :(
O&A comes in 2 sizes... 16" and 18"
i tot...18" cam tinggi sgt, and cam nak angkat toddler..
but if it was 17" .. i'd say its...perfect
tapi tu jelah cons yang aku jumpa..
16" pun sesuai sebnanye... coz kenkadang amir nak handsout.. kenkadang hands in..
kalau 18" susah sket nak hansout..
but aku suka gile kalau die hands-in je terus heheheh



.

Ni lah arching baby syndrom ahahhaa.... kalau aku tak gerak, die bosan.. die arch...

my olives and applesauce sudah sampai!....
finally my first SSC...
(the first that I want to own, seblum ni penah beli
but tak minat lepas menerima pakej dah membukanye)

aku beli earth brushed denim...
org kata its the softest, but heaviest...
heaviest fabric la..11 ozkot..
but with heavier fabric the sturdier it is..
so chunky babies comfy nak carry..

aku tak try lagi...
but I think it is awesome...looks promising
everything is so kemas...
all the straps ends so kemas.. I likeee...

The specs.

16 inch tall
full buckle
unpadded body
padded shoulder
padded waist
new hybrid curved waist
(previously O&A had straight waist and curved, this one is somewhere in between)
seat darts
leg padding
attached hood, undetachable, but hideable.. with snaps attachment
chest belt, detacable

action pic.. nanti aku post

Thanks to kak wiera for bringing my O&A to malaysia.. thus shipping jimat...

amir looking like a big boy...
with his chelsea shirt (chelsea ke arsenal?.. well, who cares)
and his osh kosh sneaks...

semua bukan aku yg beli hahhaha...
me and rafiq cheapskate..
we buy, pureen, anakku, jbaby, tollyjolly, babykiko..
all those baju yg make babies look like a baby..
and we buy the same type.. sepasang, short sleeve, button up front, long pants... s
epasang must cost less than RM 15

tapi kalau ade duit extra ... and good sale.. aku teringin nak beli shirt mahal sket..
utk jalan2.... 1 pair....
but I dont go crazy over baby outfits...
the benefits of having boy baby...

oh aand time weekend... rambut die tak tersikat ..
kulit unlotioned.... hahahah unlike the pampering he receives during weekdays..





hey, yo.. whoaaa..

huii magik... uploaded gak video ni selepas asik retry-retry for 2 days...

anyways... ni la situasi amir panjat tangga...
u cant really see it.. but he is being cheeky...
dengar je suara aku, die sengeh and takes another step up....
so dont be sorry for him coz kena sound ngn aku n rafiq...
coz he actually is cheekily smiling....

usually he wont get past this space... so takde peluang naik tangga...
but sometimes kalau aku kat dapur, aku bagi die lepas ...
so sometimes he will panjat tangga...
kenkadang die turun bila aku suruh turun... so I know he can turun backwards/merangkak 1-2 steps down..
kenkadang aku pimpin die turun.. so die turun while standing..
kenkadang aku dukung je bawak die masuk controlled space...
tapi this day...aku nak test out suara garang aku....
starting from the first step.... makin lama die makin naik...
makin lama aku makin garang tapi takde effect pon...
die sengeh je all the way...





the only reason die turun.. is motivation to turun...
a toy... (bekas mentos merah but tu fav toy die now)..
so basically.. he could get down if he wanted to...

if u dont let them learn, they wont learn...
asik takut takut takut (block tangga).... bila nak blajar..
okay la ni... blajar masa both parents on standby to assist in case anything happen...

best gi gathering sebab amir dapat main ngn kids lain.. and aku pun dapat borak2 with other moms... no one can understand contemporary motherhood better than another mom of your own generation....

other pics which includes amir ..
(I really have GOT to dress him up more hahaha, slalu lupa ) ...

EDIT: pictures by:
http://www.snuggbaby.com
http://meistai.wordpress.com
aku slalu vow to take more pics... but bila sampai, mesti aku lupa daratan main fluffies sampai tak amek pon gamba :(

Hari yang ditunggu-tunggu telah tiba...
pastu 1st klass jepun intermediate I pun nak start 4 July....
no way la aku nak miss BW gathering yg telah ditunggu-tunggu..
maka ponteng lah 1st klass hahahah...

kalini relax sket coz amir can walk.. and die boleh gi sana sini...
and the house was pretty much safe..
except the pintu menghala ke luar.. ade difference in level sket..
but its the same with our kitchen at home..
so amir should be able to turun himself..
so takyah aku melayan sgt... leh aku borak and pegang2 fluffies..
tapi kena gak keep an eye.... so take turn perati amir with rafiq...
but he did tersembam kat luar (masa rafiq jaga hehehe).. so luka sket bibir...ganas!

bestnye ade secret recipee cake.... aku makan 3 slice... huhuuuu...
pikkolo pendek la body die for amir...and it didnt have any padded waist (shocking to me)... i prefer padded waist..
ellaroo felt really good... kenapa dulu aku rase cam die keras??
(ni yang rase nak beli satu ni, christiaannee!! do i need more blue wrap??)
Jumpsac linen yg sanaa pakai dlm gamba bawah ni pun felt good.. but that one size S.. tak muat aku.. but the material felt supportive
mei tai baby looks so good for newborn....
perlu ke aku bebel pasal semua slings? takyah la..
but those are the standout slings from the meet...
farid lent me her dolcino... a bit thick...
aku compare ngn vatanai memang la thick heheh..
but ni gamba aku with dolcino at sunway pyramid..
I lent my double linen sakura bloom to shada.... berminat die with it...
hope she gets good experience with it...
aku terlupa nak try the japanese print mei tai..
aku tak nampak pon mende tu anywhere...
someone must have been bogarding it hahahaha...
the hot pink jumpsac.. looks real hot and ranggi!.. also so soft....
which i think will be good for newborn and pretoddlers..(tak sure fabric apekah itu. but it was hoot!)..

but I think the meet lacks SSC !!!...
baiti la ni tak bawak tiny tapir's stash!! heheheh....
soooo i must go to TT lah....(again)..

oh yer, was missing some regulars...
hanim, nieta, mye kalau korang ade sure lagi syokkk!!!...
