Dania Darjah 1

Dania 1st day kindergarten, 3 year ago

Dania 1st day primary school

dulu pegi tadika bawak bekal botol susu

sekarang darjah 1 bawak bekal makan kat kantin


Tak lama lagi mesti takmo bawak bekal dah. Ada kawan Dania bawak duit belanja RM3! gulp...

Please don't grow up too fast baby!

Maka bermulalah episod baru...

Tajuk entry dah macam drama swasta ;)

But seriously, the new chapter of my life had just begun.

Shah just left for Kuching, Sarawak. Kena transfer jaga projek kat sana, kemungkinan besar dalam 1 yr plus. Saya redha dia pergi sebab fikir masa depan. Harap2 lepas ni shah boleh dapat kerja yg lebih baik di sini.

In the mean time, shah janji nak balik jenguk kami setiap 2 minggu. But still, he'll be away from us most of the time.

Sedih... :(

Nervous pun ye jugak.

Takut tak terlayan dan terjaga anak2 tiga orang ni. Kesian kat anak2 sebenarnya. Kalau sofea dah menangis @ meragam @ nak menyusu @ nak tido, mmg sori la kakak ngan abang, tak dapek mama nak melayan. Kalau korg lapar ke, nak susu ke, nak ajak mama main game ke... kena tunggu mama senang dulu.

Tadi nafis tanya "kenapa mata mama ada air?" Hhhmm... sebab mama sedih la sayang, ayah takde. But whatever happens, i will stay strong for my children. I just have to because they have nobody else but me.

Dan juga... kami dah takde maid skrg. Dah 2 bulan hantar rahma balik indon. Ikutkan bulan 7 ni baru habis permit, tapi mmg dah tak boley tahan dgn dia. Membebankan dan menyusahkan. Cukuplah 3 1/2 tahun. Walaupun bertambah keje, tapi fikiran rasa lega... lapang. Skrg kami upah org utk gosok baju dan cuci rumah seminggu sekali. Namanya makcik suti dan dia mmg bes... handkerchief pun dia gosok. i like...

Ok, have to go jahit lencana & name tage dania. Juga balut buku teks sebyk 16 bijik. Sape takde keje sila la ke sentul skrg tolong saya balut buku :)

My breastfeeding journey with Sofea

It has been 5 months and so far... Sofea is still exclusively breastfed, Alhamdulillah.

Everyday while i'm at work, Sofea will consume on average 3 bottles x 3.5oz = 10.5oz of ebm. Sometimes can reach up to 12oz. Feeding time is at 11am, 2pm and 5pm. So kena make sure setiap pagi ada 4 botol bekalan ebm di rumah babysitter.

Milk production-wise; kadang2 membahagiakan dan kadang2 mengecewakan. Semalam adalah puncak kebahagiaan; sekali pam dapat 8oz, let down reflex 2 kali, wow! Rasa nak melompat2 kegumbiraan dan menghebahkan pada dunia... hehe! Dua hari sebelum tu pulak dapat sikit sangat, rasa nak menangis. i mmg emo, i tau. So bila campur tolak, cukup2 la untuk bekalan Sofea.

Everyday i'll express twice, tghari & petang. Kalau outstation atau meeting akan pam dalam kereta, then simpan dlm cooler. Ptg tadi x sempat, ingat nak pam kat rumah tapi tertinggal plak breastshieldnye kat ofis. Rugi 4oz, demn. On weekends and holidays, i'll try to pump once in the morning. Dapat sebotol sehari pun dah cukup untuk buat stok.

Frozen ebm dalam fridge ada dalam 10 bekas lagi. Very critical, i know. But it's only 27 days to go before Sofea turns 6 months. By then she can already take solid food. So hold on... i know i can do this.

My initial goal to exclusively breastfeed sofea for 6 months - status: ALMOST accomplish. Next mission - to continue breastfeeding until she turns 2 years old, InsyaAllah :)
