The Great Weekend

The Great Weekend....

So my boss isn't around. Last week and this.

So last week, i practically worked for one day. Only.

Monday. I was sick. Again. It was only 3 weeks after i had that bout of flu, fever and cough. And there i was again, having the flu and sore throat. Which evolves into a congested chest. And of cos, my long time fren came to visit. My ASTHMA!

Of cos i was worried for my unborn child. Too much medicine is not good for the development of my child's organs. So with only Tue of full working day, Wed i decided to go to KK for my 12 week check up.

And i got to see my baby!

Unlike Hairi who was furiously kicking in my tummy when i first saw him, this one is a cool one. Baby was just laying and wriggling its fingers. So Cute! Gynae says baby is doing fine and im just more prone to diseases around. So i gotta take better care of myself then. Cant' wait to see baby again in one month's time!

Then on Thur and Fri, i took leave. And since it's hubby's off day on Friday, we finally finally decide to get Hairi's passport done. With one condition. One or both of us will have to be with Hairi, if ever his parents decide to bring him overseas. No questions. Im not comfortable with my baby somewhere foreign without us.

And look how cute he is!

Well...nuthing much we can do abt the hair though. But he is such a darling!!

And as parents, we may be deprived of certain childhood toys, or maybe, it wasnt even invented during our time. And being the average income parents we are, we still did not hesitate to splurge (and i mean it is REALLY costly!) for our Hairi. He is after-all, our first born. And deserves only the best!

He is still learning to jump. And we love it tht he loves it!

Yes! We have always wanted a Jumperoo for him, and finally we really really got it!

And on Sat, being a hot, sunny day, I finally decide to bring him to the CCK pool. This time, im sure his reactions will differ to the first time.

And i was right! And definitely bringing him again this week cos again......Im gonna be on LEAVE!! HAHA!

And what other way is there to end the weekend other than this; Having my husband home from his night shift on Sunday morning, to kiss me and Hairi and to tell us, " I can never live without the both of you...."

Wow. Yes people. I really really really had a Blasted Weekend!

At 11 weeks

At 11 weeks....

Overnight, I became round.

Yep. After 2 weeks of intensive vomitting, running to the toilets, vomitting and more vomitting, i had lost some waist, some cheeks, some thighs. I did. Really.

Until today.

I woke up and realised that my tummy has shown. Its the after-delivery-gut plus the new baby growing. The tummy has shown, too fast, too soon.

My face.

Has become much rounder, too fast, too soon.

And.

My nose....macam bigger gitu. Or am i hallucinating? My nose, oh my nose.

Hubs laughed when i told him.

I hope i don't get what some preggy ladies get, something we call "pembawakan budak". U noe. Selekeh, or ugly, or big nose, or break outs, or blackened neck.

Ya allah, pls keep it to a minimal if its meant to happen to me. Especially my nose.

But if it's meant to be, (for me to look shabby with this 2nd child), like hubs ever said;

"At least one of us still looks cool!"

Thanks hubby. I will letak more bedak on my face. Cantik tak?

It's a difficult one

It's a difficult one.

This pregnancy that is.

I had it easy with Hairi. Not much morning sickness. No cravings. No laziness. Na-da.

But with this one, it's been difficult. Always giddy, always feel nauseas. All the time vomitting. I will vomit as soon as i consume my food. I can't stand the smell of certain things and food. If i got nothing to vomit, i still need to throw up till it's nothing but bile. On other occasions, my saliva will just keep accumulating, forcing me to spit, for no reason.

I began to have expensive taste. Healthy food don't appeal to me no more. I go for western. Im constantly thirsty, but i can't seem to down any plain water. Fruit juices now packed the fridge. I hate milk. And if my first pregnancy, i avoided caffeine, mainly tea, coffee and carbonated drinks, for this one, i love to drink tea. Dang!

I am soooo fortunate that my husband is around. We are not complaining anymore that he has to work night shifts. In fact it has helped me a lot. Cos i can't ride to work for the time being. I am too giddy every morning and i guess it will be dangerous to ride with my head tilting sideways all the time to ease off the giddiness. So my hubby will send me in the morning, go home to sleep and fetch me in the evening on his off days. Now he is on leave so he can chauffeur me to and fro everyday! Till Thurs. When he resumes work. Where i will be stuck with an hr and half bus and lrt ride to and fro from work. Die!

I hope its just a phase. Please God let it be a phase.

Meantime, my best friend is minyak cap kapak. And this medicated oil from thailand. And bag plastic merah.

On a separate note, my hairi turned 6 months last Sat! But this pregnancy has gotten me lazy. Lazy to take pics of anything.

New Bean

It has been a long time....hasn't it? I feel that way.

So what's new with dianafazli?

Well, for a start, we managed to get our own house. Resale flat, few blocks away from in-laws. How convenient! And the layout is abt the same as my in-laws house (which i loike!!) minus the balcony. Ok lah tuu!

We can't move in just yet. Earliest is Aug latest Sept. Sure we can wait. And save some money to do up a bit of the place later. Hairi's gonna have his own room! Yippee!

And our Hairi! Gosh he grew up so fast! He dah pandai bergurau, dah pandai throw tantrums, dah pandai terpekik terlolong. But we don't care cos we love him to nuts!

Anyways, it's double celebration for the three of us. Besides celebrating the coming of a new home we can call ours, we also have this.

.......

See below.

.......

Yup. Comments are welcome. Love me, hate me, trash me. Go ahead.

HAHA!

What makes us happy

What makes us happy....

is that when at 4 months, he did this and this.....

And we are trying to get him to like water.

The 1st trial in a pool resulted in this.

Cold water. It can make me cry too.

So the following week, we got him in a centre for baby swimming with warm, chlorine-free water.

Which resulted in this after a while in it.

Oh well. It was his naptime but instead we dunked him in a deep sink with a float around his neck! Who won't crank up?!!

But we still sign him up. And this weekend he will go again. And this time, we hope to get him kicking and smiling in the water.

So what makes ME happy?

My baby.

And my husband who always tells me he loves me everyday.

Don't you miss our dating days? Especially when u loved me with my burnt face?

Muacks!!!

See how he grows...

See How He Grows

Why do babies grow so fast?

Few hours old, straight from the oven. I cried alone on my bed as i held him. It was all worth it.

Four days old and he never wails when given a bath.

3 weeks. Babies sleep a lot huh? i do nothing at home but just stare at my lil man.


I learnt from friends and reference books. Always give ur babies their daily tummy time. It helps to shape the soft skull instead of it being flat due to lying on his back all the time. At first i was skeptical but i got used to it. In fact, babies love it! Just remember to turn his head every 10 mins so he wont hv a sore neck. At this point, u hv to keep watch over him as he still is not strong enough to turn his head on his own. 20 mins is ample, 10 mins on each side.

Cute kan bontot tonggek....

Confinement is over! And baby Hairi with his signature "Liang po-po" mouth. His hairline will be exactly like dat when he is old!

One month! And no more saggy skin. Fats filled him up. You grow too fast honey. U nearly filling up the bathtub!

His eyes are glued, watching Playhouse Disney. He gets bored watching the Baby DvDs i got for him. Babies nowadays are smart!

Exactly 2 months here and i envy his long lashes. He has learnt different facial expressions and beginning to respond when we talk to him.

We cukur-ed his head. Some babies do not have to encounter Cradle Cap. Mine does. So i put Olive oil every night to loosen the scabs and in the morning when i wash his head, i use a cloth to scrub the scabs off. But the cukur did the trick. Just cukur off the scab! Note: Get a professional to do it. The ustaz who did our cukur ceremony came over to cukur our baby's head bald.

At this stage, he babbles a lot!

He has begun to look fairer somehow. And he tries to hold his head up. Practicing neck control. Babies develop fast and faster if we stimulate him.

My Baby is 2 days away to being 3-months old. That baby is about 7 months old. besides the slight diff in size, my baby can't sit on his own yet.

Lil man with his favourite suck/sleep companion. He now knows the different feels with his hand. I never regretted getting tht Ookie for him though some called it Pocong. Apa je.

Yep. He has filled up the tub alright. And loving his expressions as he enjoys his bathtimes more. And he laughs!! Cute laughs!

This is what i look forward to at the end of a workday. To come home to my baby who wants nothing but for me to hold him, and for him to lean against my chest and hear how my heart beats for him.

The husband sometimes complain tht i love the baby more than him (he is kidding of cos). But who doesnt! They are so precious, God's creation and to me, a miracle by the Almighty. I am fortunate. I do admit tht nothing clouds my mind but just baby, baby, baby, unlike before where it was hubby, hubby hubby, but i thank God, i am blessed with a caring husband, who helps me with the chores of being a parent. He does his fair shair of bathing him, changing him, entertaining him etc. And to that, i am grateful for.

Hubby, i still love u tops endlessly!

Ok enough for now.

Maybe i should upload vids. Hmmm....
