Exactly a year ago...

Exactly a year ago....... we got ........

Sentosa was our mini honeymoon spot...

But shortly after that...

We had no choice (bulging tummy or not) but to go ahead with...

And we still manage a second (Bali) honeymoon...

Months went by quickly... from then...to this..

And then...

See how fast he grows in 2 months...

One year today, we had a simple lunch buffet as a family....tho baby got the good taste of the food thru suckling me....

Pictures do tell a thousand words.... well at least..to us..

We now lean back, fold our arms, reminisce and smile.....

And look who's now smiling with us too.

Happy 1 year anniversary hubby! And happy 2 months 3 days dearest son!

And then there were THREE

And then there were THREE!

And so this was the final pic i took on the day that i was supposedly due.

The night of 14 Nov 08, Fri. After my check up. And my baby still wants the comfort of me tummy.

And so the next day, we decided to go for jalan2. Doc say i just have to continue to walk more and let it come naturally.

What an eventful day that Sat became.

We reached Raffles city around 3 and i was so so hungry. Had a quick bite at the Basement, where we then proceeded to walk around to look at baby's clothing then we decided to take a slow walk down City Link towards Suntec.

5pm.

As soon as the escalator ascended us in front of Suntec, i felt a sudden gush "downthere". Thinking tht its only normal discharge, we brushed it off. Few minutes later, the gush came again. Called my fwen and she told me to call the hospital, afraid tht it might be a leakage.

hehehehe

But no.

This hubs n wife duo decided to stop by Watsons to get her pantyliners and wet tissues and go for a change.

...........

Then the contractions came.

But this heroic duo still wanna go walk walk, looking for new handphones some more.

7pm.

I needed to sit down badly cos the contractions came more regularly then usual. We then decided to call the hospital. and the nurse said,

".........and if your contractions is every 10mins, u are definitely in labour and should down to the hospital asap......"

And only then we decided to time my contractions. And without a doubt, it has been coming +/- 10 mins.

Then we went to Toys R' US. Stubborn right?

Till i cant take it anymore. So we tot, lets just go.

Lucky his parents were quite nearby so they picked us up and send us to KK.

Only to find out.....

That i was 3cm dilated and already in LABOUR!

I digress...

Here comes Muhamad Hairi Bin Muhamad Fazli

16 Nov 08 @ 0251hrs

So i continue.....

It was 8ish that i was pushed to the labour ward, with hubby on tow.
The gas mask was my best fren whilst my contractions were still bearable.


We still can smile and take pics and watch movies on HBO.

Until it became unbearable.

The pain, only God knows. Some women have it easy, but mine surely wasnt. Maybe God wanted me to feel the pain for the sins i have done in the past.
And pain was what i felt throughout.
I am blessed tho with a great husband who stood by me through thick or thin and not only did he watch the whole drama, he helped me to deliver. I wasnt fully dilated but the urge to push was too much. Hubby was the one who tried to keep me calm while i screamed and cried. And when it is time for me to push, he was there holding my head, my hand and giving me words of encouragement.
I shall save the gory details of the whole procedure, so mum-to-Be's wont feel scared towards child bearing.

And finally.......he came.


Thats my PufferFish!
Me and hubby cried when this slimy boy came out of me and was put on my chest. Imagine the relief i felt and the tiredness of it all. But seeing him, and seeing my hubby beside me, it's all worth it.

Our angel....Hubs mom calls him John Doe cos we still do not have a name for him till Thurs, 20th Nov.

And here are some looks of him at our first week as the new, Mom & Dad!

Grumpy!

Shiokness!

Mentel

And yes thats mummy with a bad hair do and the greenish slug on her forehead, which will be donned for the next 44 days. Who cares that i look tht bad? I have a baby and my husband loves me more!

And there u go. The two heroes and the loves of my life...

My Husband and My Son

Parenthood is gonna be a challenge but who says beautiful things come easy?......

I smile and say bye for now as my its now quality time with hubby while the child is sleeping....

Shhhhhhh.....

When Patience is Virtue

When Patience is Virtue

We are at our 39th week mark now. Baby is in position and Doc says it could be anytime or not time yet. All depends on our baby.

So today was my so-called 2nd last follow up. Seems like baby is not ready to pop. Doc says we have to wait. Next Wed is my so-called last check up n im supposedly due on Fri the 14th. "What happens if its not ready yet?" and doc says..." we still wait unless u wanna induce which i dont think so"....

And i realise maybe, just maybe, our baby wants us to settle our woes cos today....we were dumped with bad news one after another...

First.

HDB released their ballot numbers today. Our number is so BIG. We don't have even an appointment date. We are again, unsuccessful. To be a singaporean but yet have to fight with others for a home. Ridiculous.

Second.

Our landlady called. We might have to move out sooner than expected. In fact, she asked if we can move out within the next week or so. Next week?? But im about to deliver!!!

And thus again, i think baby can feel our sadness and depression. Im trying not to think abt it much cos i don wanna affect baby's "performance". I want him to be ready for the world. Although there is much for Mummy and Daddy to do now.

But what do we do now.........

Sabar itu memang separuh dari iman......sigghhh.....

34 weeks

34 Weeks!


At 34 weeks, this is our baby, "The Thinker".

I get to see baby on 2nd day of raya. He looked so cute with his hand on his head like dat. I wonder what is he thinking about. Or maybe, he just don have tht much space. Doc said he is at a healthy 2.7kg inside me. No wonder i feel so heavy. and even though i fasted, im a whopping 68.4 kg!!! wow!! beratnyer!

My next visit will be in 3 weeks time now, and tht will also be the day tht we will have to sign for our room package. We're gonna meet baby in approximately 5-6 weeks time! How time flies...

And i discovered something amazing about my body now. I have kinda expressed some drops of milk from my right breast! (So fast!) And i also found that i could just pick the fine hair around my areola easily without even trying to pluck it! It just pulls away...

Where i concluded;

If we don't like to find hair in our food, neither would baby right?

Hehehehehehe!

Ps: Lebaran with Perut and Hubby tersayang has been a blast! I love you Fazli!

More to come......

Happy 8 Months Anniversary

Happy 8 Months Anniversary....

Pejam celik pejam celik, its already 8 months we have been pronounced Husband and Wife. And our first year of experiencing Ramadan together. Alhamdullilah, being pregnant, I can fast with little or no complications at all. But too bad, my wish to complete fasting for one month tak jadik cos was down with flu and had to skip 2 days....boo hoo......

Nikmatnya rasa, to be able to wake up and prepare sahur for your husband daily, adn to have someone by your side, to break fast together too. This year has been a turning point, especially for me, and there is more yet to come, which im pretty excited to face...

Now! As we all know, we are 32 weeks pregnant now (according to doc's calculation). According to mine, only 31weekks ajer pasal kalau 32 weeks its equivalent to 8 months jugak kan? I got pregnant one month after nikah. hmmm..

Whatever it is, we have about 8 weeks (or less) to go through. Pregnancy has been a fun fun journey and as we are nearing the due date, surprisingly hubby thinks he will be missing this journey. But of course we both cant wait to carry our first bundle of joy-ness!

Our pregnancy has been a pretty smoothe one (to hubby's relief). Only nowadays, i feel big. I have given in and accepted the fact this body does not belong to me or hubby. It's like a big oven with many cushions to "bake" our baby till he is ready to come out to the world. My arms have become flabby, my thighs are bigger, my bum is very very cushiony and most of my clothes i can no longer fit. I seek comfort in my maternity pants and my maxi dresses. And i look after my food intake. The first few months was nothing but veggies and milk and slice fish soup everyday!!

Climbing stairs is a chore. I waddle, i don walk. Surprisingly, i still can run for the bus.

I wonder, what more changes will i go through or face in the next coming 8 weeks or less.....

So while we wait and see.....we wanna reminisce the making and baking of our lil junior. We so love you and cant wait to see you baby!

When we found out we were pregnant, I wanted to get a shot for "future references".

Excited as i am, i really tot there was a bump in this stage when actually there was none!

Hmm i cant recall at what week i am here. Its before our sanding so it should be about 21 weeks?

Yup yup. 21 weeks and i still can do my fire show tht time.

Can u see the diff? My tummy....My body! My sleeping shorts have always been loose but look at that!

We didnt manage to get a snapshot of my progress weekly/monthly but below was taken when im at 31 weeks! I still think i am small though.....

I have a "map" where my pusat is. So ugly....

Proud parents to be!

Ahh yes....my ever cheeky hubby. Me so lurp u lah....

8 more weeks to go now......dum dee dum dee dum dee dum.......
