After 4 Boys, Now?

Big news! After 12 years and four boys, we're expecting again! I'm 9 weeks along. My personal blog www.ceritamak.com is where I'll be sharing updates, likely starting in the second trimester. 'Road to 2nd Trimester' begins now!

Catatan Isteri: Pengalaman Bersalin Pertama Kali di Hospital Sultan Ismail, JB.

You know what? Rasa macam tak percaya dah jadi ibu, even this “miracle” ada depan mata. OK fine, yang sebenarnya I still can’t believe that I can be pregnant (due to certain health condition), surviving long journey of pregnancy and of course, survive 15 hours and 30 minute++ of contraction. (+______+)” Seriously, I don’t expect that I can be that strong.

Muhammad Adam Hariz, 05/07/13 @6pm

Well, at this momment sepatutnya my baby baru 38 weeks and 4 days. Surprisingly, MUHAMMAD ADAM HARIZ dilahirkan awal, 37 weeks 3 days with 2.26kg body weight.

Persiapan.

WOW, 29 days to go! Cepat betul masa berlalu~ Bercakap tentang persiapan, rasanya baru siap 10% kot as most of barang baby tak beli lagi pun due to budget. Sekarang sibuk nak pindah rumah and mengemas. Apa-apa pun, better siapkan rumah before Baby Adam lahir. 

     Currently cuma beli bedding, 3 helai barut and changing mat untuk baby Adam. Baju-baju tu ada sebenarnya ada, tapi mostly besar and need to buy new born size dalam 4,5 helai. Kesian Baby Adam, barang untuk bawa ke hospital pun Ibu belum beli lagi. But I do believe rezeki tuhan dekat mana-mana. Hang in there sayang, Ibu dengan Abah akan pastikan semua dah lengkap tersedia bila Adam lahir nanti. Untuk confinement pun tak beli lagi, tapi dah decide nak guna set confinement apa, which of course la Shaklee. Saya plan nak beli set trial je+ESP, jimat. Untuk external, saya nak beli yang ni:

Harga dia RM50 siap bengkung. Selain tu plan nak beli brown soap dengan herbal bath+wash from Tanamera. So total amount nya, RM362. Oh my (+_______+)" Is it even on our budget? Tu belum kira upah tukang urut which will cost RM250 for 3 days and other stuff macam Pati Ikan haruan, tungku etc..and barang baby lagi, kos hospital lagi~ (x_______X)" OK. Just thinking bout this dah buat kita sakit kepala. Semoga semua dipermudahkan. Amin.

Current Pregnancy Vitamins & Supplements

Sebelum ni Lin makan Obimin, Fish oil and minum susu Nestle Mom & Me. Tapi sekarang dah tukar sikit and ada penambahan macam kat atas ni. Kalau before ni Lin makan Scott's Fish Oil now ni Lin tukar makan Aspen Nutrition Omega-3 1000mg. Sebenarnya ada je stok Scott's Fish Oil tu Lin beli banyak-banyak last time, tapi Lin "ter" angkut sekali Aspen Nutrition Omega-3 1000mg sebab harga dia murah with PWP offer dekat Watson.RM24 tak silap dalamnya ada 112 capsule.

Doa Supaya Mudah Bersalin

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

Bacaan Rumi:

 Laa ila ha illa anta, subhaanaka innii, kuntu minazzolimin 

Maksudnya:

“Tidak ada Tuhan (yang dapat menolong) selain Engkau (Ya Allah!), Maha Suci Engkau. Sungguhnya, aku termasuk dalam orang-orang yang menganiaya diri sendiri.”

Rasa macam belon forever and beyond~~~!

Weight before pregnant: 61kg (slightly overweight sebab tinggi Lin cuma 148cm)

Budget.

Kena cari jalan untuk cut budget (>_____<)"

3D/4D at 29 weeks (+1days)!

I'm speechless ^_^

Ibu janji, Ibu akan sayang and jaga Adam sampai bila-bila.

3rd Trimester!

Tak sabarnya kami! Feel like forever~ 88 days left. Tapi kalau ikut my mom background selalunya baby lahir 37 weeks macam tu. Tapi tak tahulah, yang penting semua selamat. Amin.

Confinement Set Survey Begin.

OK. Maybe terlalu awal nak cari itu ini. But, apa salahnya ada perancangan awal kan? Yang paling penting for internal, kita dah decide nak try Shaklee set.

20 weeks to 25 weeks!

Ni gambar masa 20 weeks/19 weeks 6 days to be exact.You know, since from the first month that I knew I was pregnant; I'm super excited kalau boleh nak tengok/scan baby Adam hari-hari. ngeh~

So, sekarang 103 days/14 weeks 6 days left!

(^_____^)

Bersalin dan Berpantang.

Didn't I say yang I bersalin pertangahan puasa and berpantang sehingga raya?

Too Early?

I just can't stop myself from buying all this baby stuff. Latest, beli baju 2 helai dekat Angsana. Lepas ni tak tahulah. Ibu cakap newborn beli baju warna putih je~ so I guess after this beli warna putih jelah. kot? huhuhu~ There's a lot of thing dalam kepala ni, which actually xpayah risau kot? But I still have to think about:

1. Whether nak pakaikan baby Adam cloth diaper or tak? Breast pump xpayah beli rasanya sebab 24 hours ada dekat rumah.
2. Nak beli confinement set Shaklee? Total price stock for 4 months RM349 dekat Be Healthy. Which is more suitable and bagus.
3. Budget untuk baby? RM200 enough tak?
4. Budget untuk myself? vit RM349 +mak bidan RM200 +kos bersalin RM100 +external stuff RM360

So untuk budget sahaja kena save RM1009 tak termasuk duit sewa rumah, makan masa pantang etc. ah pening~ dengan kos klinik lagi setiap bulan, harap-harap dapat simpan duit sebanyak tu smpi tempoh bersalin nanti. amin.

Nak buat natal checkup dekat mana?

OK. Mula-mula dulu masa buat buku merah, buat kat Sungai Petani. So kiranya konon-konon nak follow up dekat SP la sampai bersalin, duduk rumah mak mentua. Baru duduk xsampai 2 minggu stay sana, dah rasa tak selesa and homesick nak balik rumah.

Meet Me Halfway~

     Wow, rupanya dah halfway pregnancy dats mean another 136 days to go! Tak sabar nak cuddling Baby Adam. Last week dah buat 5 months check up dekat Columbia Asia Hosp. Alhamdulillah, semua OK and Baby Adam sangat sihat :)
Pregnancy Update:

• Letih. Even sepanjang hari tak ada buat apa pun tetap letih.
• Headache. Almost everyday.
• Dah start dapat rasa Baby Adam gerak since 17 weeks lagi. Now dia tersangatlah aktif dan sihat dengan berat currently 403 gram! Can you believe that? Kalau ikut dalam Baby Center website, at least this week berat dia kurang daripada 360 gram! 
• Appetite semakin meningkat. Benda 1st skali Lin terfikir bila bangun tidur setiap pagi: Hari ni nak makan apa?
• Weight: Last checkup 53kg, now ni 56kg.
• Pelupa and macam lambat berfikir sikit. Simple math pun boleh salah (x______X)"

Third trimester is just around the corner!

Kerja. Tak kerja.

Semalam 1st day kerja. Penat, memang penat. 

 
To be truth, tak tahulah nak rasa sedih ke tak. Actually, sebelum ni I rancang tak nak kerja sampai bersalin but siapa nak tanggung my expenses sekarang and in the future, for baby lagi, kan? Abah Adam still study. So, motif bekerja adalah untuk kumpul duit for baby Adam. Dalam bank pun duit ada sikit, lama-lama habis juga. Sigh~ what can I do. But I do believe in rezeki tuhan bagi. My husband will finish his study next 2 months; awal bulan May. Dia kata, so ada lagi 2 months dia nak kerja and kumpul duit untuk baby Adam.

 
Cakap memang senang, tapi to be honest, nak cari kerja tu pun dah makan masa. Masa dah semakin suntuk and I don't seem to find any way lagi. Semoga semuanya dipermudahkan, Amin~

18 weeks!

Don't you just love it when you can feel your baby "actively dancing" every 3 am in the morning? It's been a while since I updating my blog, as so many things happen every now and then. But Alhamdulillah, so far all thing goes well :) Can't wait for baby Adam!

Tak Larat.

I didn't know pregnancy can be this extremely exhausted. For the last 2 weeks I'm just lazying around, lazying on bed etc. Perut lapar, tapi tak ada selera makan, and cuma boleh makan ayam goreng (specifically: ayam goreng biasa cuma bubuh kunyit and garam), nasi putih and kicap. Even perut kosong, tekak tak henti-henti loya siang malam. Ni dah 2nd trimester (I guess) patutnya dah kurang sikit symptom-symptom (kalau baca kat babycenter), tapi nampaknya semakin worst. (x______X)" Tak apalah baby Ibu, asal baby Ibu sihat guling-guling kat dalam.

Harap-harap mak mertua tak merungut~

11 weeks of Pregnancy.

• "leaking"
• Leg cramp
• Itching [stomach; due to skin stretching]
• Constipation?
• No appetite, loss 9kg less than a month.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• The need to urinate frequently
• Shortness of breath.
• Unproductive?

...and I guess I've suffer a major depression nowadays as so many things happen, going through that phase alone, all by myself. Oh well, I guess there's a clear decision that need to be done. Just waiting for the right time.
