My Madina

My baby was born last 10 months. :D Alhamdulillah..the process was smooth (as what I've read and learn from class) but the pain was not as expected at all. haha. mmg sakit, but not that long. i was in LR for 4 hours when suddenly she popped out. Then the motherhood journey began...

7 days

Ive never been aware of the sleepless night during the confinement period (especially). So when it started as early as she was day 1, I was thinking oh maybe just tonight. Well, actually it didn't stop until today (but now dah lali and dah undercontrol ngeh3). haha. So mothers-to-be, be prepared yea..and do remind your spouse too. Not enough sleep could bring a lot of circumstances esp STRESS. stress could bring you to many other situations - arguments, emotion breakdown, and of course negatively affect your milk production. So, ape yg N belajar and buat kalau baby menangis waktu malam adalah:

1. Check diaper
2. letak minyak angin (kot kembung)
3. Susukan
4. hold and hug her sambil selawat
5. and kalau semua tak jadi...tukar baju dia. Kita tak tau kan baju die maybe ade bende2 asing yg buat die tak selesa ke kan. and it works for me few times esp time die demam.
6. and for newborn, do also check her pusat..kot luka ke.
   

I had my confinement period at my parent's house. and yes, I have to go through all the 'Do's and Don'ts' which I kinda like it. haha. its true! i love the food. My mom made this delicious 'sambal black pepper' yg N makan dgn ikan bakar and steamed broccoli+carrot. I also consumed NR product which I highly recommended as well as Shaklee vitamins. alhamdulillah i lost 12kg after 44hari pantang but most important - i feel healthy and fit. :) and all the supplements i still continue makan sampai skarang (on and off).

Since my baby was delivered, I was 'given' a different view of life... tentang tanggungjawab, sayang, pengorbanan dan keikhlasan. Macam mana Allah boleh buat semua yg berlaku dalam hidup ini ada sangkut pautnya, dan membuatkan kita sedar bahawa ada hikmahnya Allah dekatkan dan jauhkan kita dgn orang tertentu itu. cewah bermadah pulak. haha! Diharapkan kita semua menjadi muslim yang lebih baik dan sentiasa mengingati Allah hendaknya.

Apa yang penting, N berdoa semoga N (and other mothers) dapat didik anak dgn baik, dgn nilai-nilai positif dan ajaran islam dari awal. Lets continue reading and googling mommies!
