36 Weeks, still enjoy!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t,

Today is my 36th Weeks. Dah pun mencapai kematangan, or we called it full term. So i will deliver this baby anytime soon. But I hope it will be on the week of 40th. Mean another 4 weeks more to go.

My preparation almost complete.

1. Mummy hospital bag - checked
2. Baby hospital bag - checked
3. Bedding Set - collect on Friday
4. MiPump The First Year - paid but hold collection.
5. Baby Coat - soon collect from my fren
6. Medela Feeding Bottles
7. Medela Personalfit

Next week check up with O&G, harap-harap dah boleh share Birth Plan ngan O&G. Last check up x tercerita sebab die pun x tanye. Muke die pun cam relax je, myb based on his experience mcm aku ni lambat lg nk deliver nih..

For Mummy to be, you can refer here 'What is Birth Plan?' and some samples.

• Writing a Birth Plan
• Sample of Birth Plan - Hayati Muzaffar (if you join Gentlebirthing Group Malaysia you know who is she)
• Sample of Birth Plan - Huggies
• Sample of Birth Plan - The Bump

Kalo dulu2 memang xde birth plan bagai, kite just serah diri je kat hospital n doktor nak wat pepe pun asalkan dapat deliver baby dgn selamat. But now, it's YOUR RIGHT actually to prevent something that unnecessary procedure to be perform in birthing process. Always keep in your mind that Giving Birth is a natural process. (Me still learning)

Babymoon again!
I tot PD will be my last baby moon, but lucky year for me that last weken we spend time at Penang. Gi repair rumah MIL untuk disewakan pada tenant lain. But I did not involved with the work, only Famili MIL. Maklumlah mak buyong jalan pun dah mcm penguin. Stayed at Grand Continental, ni je yg ade (school holidays). Breakfast die out! Maklumlah hotel tua, tunggu masa kot. =p

And kalo dah sampai penang rugi la x pekena makanan die yg superb2 tu. Tp aku xde laa nk heran sgt, ns kandaq bagai. X dak laaa nk p Ns Kandaq beratoq laa...Ns Kandaq Line Kleaaa ka..p pekena ns kandaq besa2 ja. Since famili mil make up the house, I stayed awhile kat rumah my aunt nearby MIL house gak kat Tanjung Tokong. Cam besa lahh..kalo duk sini kerja aku makaannnn ja. Jap2 menda ni sampai...jap2 menda tu plak sampai. Before lunch, maklang aku bg makan buah potong dulu. Maklumlah biz buah. Tgh hari tu, maklang aku jamu plak makan ns kenduri(nebor) semalam. X kesahhh, aku bedal saja! Mai petang ckit cousin aku Arul p beli Mee Bangkok Lane. Mula2 nak p beli Mee Sotong tp x bukak kot. Mee Bangkok Lane superb ok, penah masuk tv Channel AFC ok. ceewahhh. Nak tau mee bangkok lane cam mana sila google. Sedappp hokayy! Mlm tu plak p pekena sotong kangkung, Ns Ayam & Pasemboq kat Padang Kota Lama. Nak tersemboq aku bila sotong kangkung kat situ RM10 sepinggan. Sumpah x order dah. Aku nak makan mende lain pun cam terbantut. X pa, next time balik Changkat Jering ja pekena sotong kangkung situ lg berbaloi. Ampess..Dia punya pasemboq pun xdak la sedap mana, makan kat gerai tepi UNITEN lg sedap kot. Kalo tambah ketam RM32, x berbaloi.

Tp Arul ckp next time aku mai penang plak, dia nak p bawak pekena ketam fresh, bukan ketam x masak naaa. Ni ketam angkat dr kolam teruih bakaq naa.. Naahhhaiihhh awat bahasa penang aku terkluaq plak nih...hehehe. X sabaq nk tunggu time tu. Tunggu baby besaq ckit, bleh p ronda2 penang plak. Ajak famili gathering ka kat Teluk Bahang wat bbq seafud fresh dari laut. ada ka seafud dr darat?..=p

Assalamualaikum w.b.t,

Now dah 34 weeks, 41 more days to go...weeehuuuu! Yayyy....

Alhamdulillah..perjalanan 1st n 2nd trimester agak mencabar but I'm fine. Now in 3rd trimester, perut dah selalu mengeras. And skrg ni bertambah penat bila dah pindah ofis. Dulu ofis 1st floor je, nak panjat tangga cam ok lg. Now dah tersangat penguin!

Most barang baby yang lame still bleh pakai. Cuma I tambah2 ckit la dr segi baju which can be wear up to 1 year. Baju NB x byk pun ade kot dalam 5-7 pasang including yg lama. Lain2 baju sume 3months and above. Gelebeh pun gelebeh laahhh...kalo dah bedung x nampak sangat pun.

So far progress persiapan barang baby, I dah basuh baju2 die. Tp ter-miss nak basuh booties n mitten die plak. Still gune gak yg lama n yang baru ade la dlm 5 pairs. Baju die blum lagi berlipat or bergantung. Masih lg mencari waktu. Bilik Nazhan & Baby still in progress gak, which needs hubby to paint the other side of the wall. Hari tu salah cat, Huhuhu....Then nak tampal sticker for deco. Katil baby ujung bulan ni my fren akan hantar. I lend it to her for awhile.

My preparation utk birthing plak, I dah jumpe O&G. Dah check up bagai. Cuma x sempat lg nak berborak pasal my birth plan with him. Last time I have manage to get half Gentle Birthing, hopefully this time will go smooth.

1. No Epidural or other drugs
2. No Episiotomy this time. (harap dr sabar menanti baby kuar)
3. etc (will discuss with O&G next week)

Ni kire basic la...ade lg permintaan lain. Yang penting Allah granted 1st, Insya-Allah.

Hmm what else that is missing here? Ooowhh Names for my baby...well it's a BOY again!

He's been kangkang that day n show it to the dr n us clearly..see see it's bird la mummy! Ok he will be Nazhan's team mate. Dah bleh masuk acara Beregu.

Ok for his name, we choose to start with D. Cume yang belakang tu x decide lg, but we already have a list.
We will reveal his name most probably on his born day or could be after Mr Rasaksa has registered with JPN.

Since dah 34 weeks ni, I cont amalkan pati delima Gulsan, susu kambing, air kelapa, buah tembikai n few other makanan sunnah. Mudah-mudahan proses bersalin kali ni berjalan lancar dengan izin-Nya.


Ps: order Nubian Goat's Milk lg...huhu 

BabyMoons with Famili

Assalamualaikum w.b.t,

Entri kali agak berbau basi2 gitew. Sebab ku upload gambar2 babymoon yang bulan lepas.
Pregnancy kali ni banyak babymoon je ngan famili, kalo dulu byk makan tempat best2 secara percuma. =)
Babymoon ni xde lah g obesea pun. Just local places je, sape kate Malaysia xde tempat yang menarik.

Before this I've already blog my 1st babymoon kat Melaka, Famili day with in-laws.

Event: Papa's AFATS Gathering 2013 (golfing)
Venue: PNB Ilham, Tanjung Tuan, PD/MELAKA
Date: 27th April 2013

Trip kali ni fully sponsored by my mum. And at the moment they stayed at my house coz i wana go back with them for GE 13th. My dad got a gathering here, supposed he just wana come with his frens. But last minute change, Mama wants to follow. And I took the opportunity to join them...hehehe.

The place is not bad, out skirt ckit from PD town. But as usual la kan, PD memang full on weekend. Kalo dinner at night you better go early or else tunggu lama. Bleh di katekan sume resto Siam/Seafood penuh and lambat. Nearby this hotel ade Hutan Lipur Tanjung Tuan, tp x sempat nak explore pun. Nak rasa gak g rumah api die. Namun apakan daya, treat anak2 di pool lebiy penting. huhu

Sea side of the hotel, pantai kureng ckit.

The beach...not so nice.

That's all for now...xtau la if there is 5th Babymoon before I'm off for hibernate end of June. Rasa cam nak g Melaka, nak makan Ns Lemak Umbai with Ikan Bakar and Klebang Coconut Milkshake. Tak lupe jagung bakar best, i dunno how to describe the location. Tp die kat petronas station...huhu.

Xtau la if ada sapa2 nak granted my last craving nih...huhu.

HUSBAND's ROLE, MANNER & ENCOURAGEMENT

Assalamualaikum w.b.t,

Ingat nak load gambar pasal few babymoon stories yang dah basi tu. But i feel this time I wana share something more important.

Some kind of REMINDER or TIPS for HUSBAND!

Since I also pregnant why not if I'm sharing about HUSBAND's ROLE, MANNER & ENCOURAGEMENT. Some of husbands out there must be forgotten about this or maybe some of them taking granted or don't care at all. But heyyy guys, WAKE UP! Bukan hanya pembabitan anda dalam memberi sperma sahaja yang diperlukan untuk mendapatkan anak but u are solely involve in the whole process till they died. Some of you might be lucky not to experience the pregnancy symptoms but it's not an excuses for not being nice to your preggy wife!

Hope some of the material below will guide you (husband).

## Peranan Suami Ketika Isteri Mengandung ##

1. Suami hendaklah banyak bertaubat kepada Allah SWT.

2. Banyak membaca Al-Quran dan mengharapkan agar anak yang ada dalam kandungan isteri akan memahami keinginan baik yang terkandung dalam Al-Quran tersebut.

3. Suami hendaklah banyak berpuasa sunat, Isnin dan Khamis dll.

4. Suami hendaklah rajin mengerjakan solah berjemaah.

5. Elakkan pergi ke tempat yang tidak dibenarkan syarak.

6. Rajin menghadiri majlis ilmu dan orang-orang soleh.

7. Suami hendaklah banyak bersabar dalam menjalin hubungan dengan isteri.

8. Dilarang memakan benda-benda haram, begitu juga dilarang memberi isteri rezeki yang tidak halal, rasuah serta wang riba.

9. Banyak membaca doa keselamatan isteri yang sedang mengandung dan keselamatan anak dalam kandungan.

10. Dilarang membuka aurat kerana dikuatiri mempengaruhi akhlak anak yang akan lahir nanti.

11. Suami hendaklah menjauhi diri daripada marah dan benci pada isteri.

12. Banyak membaca surah Al Fatihah, Luqman, Yasin, Yusuf, Surah An Nahl ayat 78, surah Al A’raf ayat 189 dan ayat Kursi.

## Adab Suami Ketika Isteri Mengandung ##

Ketika isteri mengandung, suami hendaklah benar-benar bertanggungjawab terhadap isteri kerana perasaan isteri sangat sensitif pada saat itu. Ia sangat memerlukan perhatian daripada suami yang disayanginya. 

Ada beberapa perkara yang perlu suami lakukan terhadap isteri yang sedang mengandung :

1. Suami hendaklah menunjukkan rasa kasih sayang terhadap isteri, sebagai teman hidup yang paling dekat.

2. Hendaklah berlaku jujur dan setia terhadap isteri serta hindari daripada bersikap kejam terhadap isteri.

3. Selesaikan dahulu jika ada perselisihan faham yang berlaku dengan isteri sebelum masuk tidur.

4. Jangan mudah mengeluarkan perkataan talak kepada isteri.

5. Ketika isteri hampir bersalin, suami digalakkan membaca doa berikut, “La ila ha illa anta subha naka inni kun tum minadzolimin” maksudnya “Tiada Tuhan yang disembah melainkan Engkau Maha Suci. Engkau Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku termasuk di kalangan orang yang zalim”

6. Suami hedaklah kerap solat sunat atau solat hajat dan mendoakan agar isteri dan anak dalam kandungan selamat.

 + Mengandung akan memberi tekanan terhadap wanita dari segi fizikal, ia harus menampung kandungannya, tubuh badannya bekerja lebih kuat. Jantungnya mengepam darah 40% lebih daripada keadaan biasa. Buah pinggangnya harus mengendalikan pembuangan kotoran bayinya. wanita mengandung juga mengalami perubahan emosi, maka tugas para suamilah yang menjaga hati para isteri +

## Dorongan Suami Ketika Isteri Bersalin ##

>> Suami yang soleh akan turut merasakan penderitaan isterinya walaupun tidak secara langsung. Suami harus banyak terlibat dalam proses jagaan kehamilan, kelahiran bayi dan perhatian terhadap isteri. Suami hendaklah memberi motivasi kepada isteri agar tetap tabah dan bersabar, di samping itu suami harus banyakkan berdoa dan beristighfar dan selawat. Dengan cara ini perasaan isteri akan menjadi tenang dan mudah bersalin.

>> Mengandung merupakan beban dan tekanan terhadap wanita. Dari segi fizikal, ia harus menampung kandungannya, tubuh badannya bekerja lebih kuat. Jantungnya mengepam darah 40% lebih daripada keadaan biasa. Buah pinggangnya harus mengendalikan pembuangan kotoran bayinya. Wanita mengandung juga mengalami perubahan emosi.

>> Waktu pantang dan selepas kelahiran, bayi juga dapat menimbulkan tekanan jiwa dan emosi isteri kerana ia harus menyusu dan membersihkan bayi antara 2-3 jam setiap malam. Suami yang baik akan berusaha mengurangi beban isteri dan turut menjaga bayi di waktu malam. Begitu seterusnya perhatian dan tanggungjawab suami terhadap isteri itu berterusan, semenjak hamil sehinggalah menjaga anak adalah pekerjaan yang harus dibantu oleh suami agar isteri dapat merasakan kebahagiaan dan keringanan dalam menjalankan tanggung-jawab yang berat itu.

>> Korbankan ego dan nafsu anda seketika wahai suami-suami. Layan la isteri anda seelok-elok nya ketika dia mengandung kerana dia sedang mengandungkan zuriat anda, waris anda. Saya kagum dengan suami yang beralah/mengalah dengan isteri ketika isterinya mengandung. Sweetnya kalau si suami empaty dengan isteri...bukan sekadar simpati.

>> Ketika isteri sedang sarat/sedang berpantang, jangan la anda pula si suami menggatal dengan perempuan lain. Jagala emosi dan hati isteri anda. Dia bergadai nyawa melahirkan zuriat anda kemudian menjaganya siang malam. Makan/tidur terganggu sedangkan anda pula berseronok di luar dengan perempuan lain. Keluar makan, menonton wayang, shopping dll. Tidakkah anda si suami terfikir duit yang anda keluarkan untuk berfoya-foya itu adalah lebih baik di laburkan untuk anak-anak. 

PS: Please bare in your mind, appreciate her!... Treat her like she is the most wanted SOULMATE not a SOULMAID!

Survey Nursing Feeding Bottle

Assalamualaikum w.b.t,

Last time entry pasal breastpump. Which I plan to have. Now pasal feeding bottle. Yep I'm BF mum. But once I off to work surely baby need bottle for feeding. Unless hubby would allow me for 6 months unpaid leave so i can exclusively breastfeed my baby then bottle maybe wont be a priority at the moment.

I plan to have these bottles for 1 year usage only or less 6-8 months. After that change to a cheaper bottle from Pureen or Anakku. Same like what we used for Nazhan before. Only for the 1st 6-8 months we used Medela and after that we switch to cheap n can change anytime bottle.

1. Comotomo - cam klakar but cute.


2. The First Years Breastflow - tp tgk cm susah nk basuh je tp match with my future BP.


3. Lifefactory / Cherub Baby - for long term x payah pk nk tukar botol.


4. Medela Bottle - Nazhan use this..

5. Bebe Confort - simple


6. Safety Plus




For MAM, TT, MOMMA feeding bottle I just dont like the bottle & teat design.
Dr Brown & Medela Calma looks like difficult to wash.
NUK I dont like the teat design. I like normal teat design as above pictures.

So far this is in my list. Mind to share what are you using for your baby?
