cuti-cuti KB

last week we all balik KB, ni antara aktiviti yang berjaya we all buat, alhamdulillah weather ok, so the kids enjoyed the sea, the sand and the sun... also gulai kawah rusa - nazar kakak & abang ipar for their 1st newborn after waiting for almost 6 yrs..

hmm for me -- rase cam daging biase je but definitely better dari kambing , tp tak berani makan banyak.. Fatini suka sangat, sampai 3-4x makan nasik lauk gulai tu hari tu.

itulah rusa korbannya





the precious baby - Batrisya Amira






@ PCB Daddy kena 'tarik' HaziQ dari air, kalu tak... harus la dia kuyup
Fatini dok main pasir je... takut dgn ombak.. iskk
dah selamat basah kuyup (sib baik dh ready bwk baju spare)
tertelan air laut -- "tak cedap" katanye..
batuk batuk sampai muntah.. cian anak mummy....



later that night
dinner @ New Horizon

the family

we had 6 course dinner, among them - tomyam

mango chicken

oyster pancake, the rest are steamed siakap, butter prawn and black pepper beef


In a nutshell, we had a nice breakaway, paling penting the kids were HAPPY... lepas ni tak tau bila lagi balik KB. Pasni mummy nak deliver, pastu dah puase, pastu raye, pastu dah hujung tahun pastu pastu pastu...

till then...

Week 26: Eye see YOU!

(source : www.baby-gaga.com)

Fetal development in pregnancy week 26: fetus in sixth month
At long last, your little swimmer can see the womb! Your miracle’s little eyelids have finally separated (they were fused closed previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or watching Oprah or something).
In addition to seeing their little studio in your belly, they’ve recently acquired the ability to say “yes” and “no” in rudimentary sign language as they can now move their head back and forth. This is also the time where your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow!
A cute little cowlick or two may be springing into position right now, getting ready for years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Also, their toenails have grown in and you little raisin continues to slowly pile up fat beneath their still-loose skin.
Most importantly, brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity and will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first seven to eight years of childhood!

And how's mom doing?
This is the final week of your second trimester. We won't go on and on about the joys of constipation, but if you’re curious why you’ve got to put up with this much-less-than-fun blockage, it’s basically because you’re producing higher levels of progesterone, which relaxes muscle tissue throughout you’re producing higher levels of progesterone, which relaxes muscle tissue throughout your entire body, including the G.I. tract and ultimately slows digestion down… waaaay down your entire body, including the G.I. tract and ultimately slows digestion down… waaaay down.
Not to fear, there are plenty of natural remedies for the joys of constipation, including: increasing your standard fiber intake with fruits and veggies, oatmeal, or whole grains (such as millet, rye and wheat). Another way to get things moving "down there" is to get yourself moving! If you haven’t been very active, try putting some time in walking or swimming.
Increasing your general activity levels often inspires a bowel movement without requiring a suppository. Many women also experience restless and jittery legs during the second half of pregnancy. It’s a common condition known as Restless Leg Syndrome (or RLS—not a very creative name). Cutting out caffeine, stretching your calf muscles slowly, and some nice and deep muscle massages are generally effective ways to help deal with RLS.


Footnote: constipation has been my problem even when i'm not pregnant.. arghhh.. eating veges, fruits, oats etc never seem to settle this problem, so how??

RLS?? Calcium tablets help me reducing my crampy legs esp at night.. alhamdulillah, so far, it's still not my main problem. Only severe backache just striked me last few days, now it's getting better.

Baby's movement -- i think he's getting more and more active now.. sometimes feels like he's coming out tru my skin.. scarry ehhh

well, that's the beauty of having 'the aliens' in my womb.. subhanallah

HaziQ's 2nd birthday

last 14 February 2009 -- HaziQ's 2nd birthday, it was on Saturday, so we decided to celebrate plus last year tak sempat celebrate (cos mummy & daddy sibuk nak exam, sorry Adik)

but we only invited family members, adik beradik aku dgn family diorang anak-beranak je pon dah penuh rumah... InsyaAllah, lain kali kalau ada rezeki lebih, bleh buat triple celebration ie birthday Fatini (16/12) + b'day mummy (26/1) + b'day HaziQ (14/2) kan kan kan...




HaziQ and Fatini dgn belon-belonnye.. thanks to abang Molud and kakak baby for inflating the balloons and 'decorating' the hall, whilst mummy-mummy and nenek di dapur memasak


HaziQ yang excited (tp naper nampak ketot nye anak bujang ku yang seorang ini??) ilusi optik tuh

deco by abang molud and kakak baby (anak2 kakakku yang di'adore' oleh 2 orang budak nih..)

birthday boy dgn nenek

birthday cake -- actually nak boh gamba Ben10, tp tak sempat cos beli kek pon last minute, tp cake yummy...

Allah selamat kan kamu.. Allah selamat kan kamu.. Allah selamat kan anak mummy.. Allah selamat kan kamu...

mummy birthday boy yang kononnya paling busy

potong kek

abang Molud layan HaziQ makan kek..

antara tetamu VVIP yang hadir -- nenek, pakcuk amin (the one & only adikku), abang keyol (anak sedaraku yg sebaya dgn adikku)

the most VVVVVIP, makan atas meja dekat dgn food senang nak tambah kan daddy kan


the presents --

sesi koyakkan wrappers (iskk kalau dolu2 ni akan ku bukak wrappers ni dgn berhati2 & recycle balik, tp dgn bebudak ni, tak sempat cakap apa...)



HaziQ and his moments of truth... look at his face(s)...


Fatini pon dapat, kalau tak berebut jeles nanti..

HaziQ and his pressies

hadiah HaziQ, tp Fatini dulu testing.. dah ala-ala rupa penyanyi rock la pulak anak pompuan ku yang sorang nih

babywearing

Haziq tergolek before sempat snap gamba..


Fatini jadik model RingSling dgn mo-mo dia.. terlebih sengih plak, haziq still struggling nak buat 'peace'


my happy and cheeky kids... ala-ala iklan colgate gitu tapi gigi2 tak cantik cam gigi mummy la


*mo-mo-wearing' by Fatini -- using mummy's tudung and ring (utk kertas tu - pekenama nye ntah)



finally, a decent photo of brother and sister

Baby #3 list

hehehhe.. sejak preggy with #3 ni, macam2 la yang aku wish.. tp dok carik/beli sendiri laa... :(

1) Medela Freestyle breastpump -- yang ni aim beli dari Aja (hehhehe Aja, ada rejeki, insyaAllah ehh..)

2) cloth diapers utk Fatini (pakai malam) & HaziQ -- i already bought 3 Itty Bitty D'Lish SIO dr Farah @ ezmotherhood.com,











then 2 2nd hand coolababy dr Chin Nee @ demoments.net

(i hope Chin Nee wouldnt mind i took the pic from her site -- i'm so new in this blogging....)






and 1 Happy Heiny's dari mybabypitstop.com.
Unfortunately, Fatini tak muat pakai, i think she's too 'big' for CD, actually it's time for her to potty train at night, tp dia malas nak bangun, err.. mummy dia pon ;) . Haziq plak 'lari' and melalak2 bila nak dipakai kan.. (isk jakun sungguh anak2 ku)

-- so i plan to CDing on baby #3 --

3) baby RingSling -- ni aku dah DIY sendiri... :D aku beli kain cotton kat Kamdar (masa takde sale pon, sbb masa tu berkobar2 nak buat, tak nyempat2!!), Ring aku beli dr babyznmom.com (tp ni nak let go, anyone nak beli?? details nanti ye -- nak let go sbb aku buat sling tu 2 lapis, so ring tu quite kecik utk fabrik aku), now dgn bangganye RingSling aku dh siap,


Fatini sibuk nak jadi model masa aku sibuk nak amik gamba








aku pakai ring yg dibeli dari peekaroobaby.com.










4) baby pouch -- hehehheh yang ni pon aku DIY sdr.. beli kain cotton murah je (less than RM4/metre, pastu double layered dgn kain licin sama kaler - kain yg anak sedara aku tak jadi buat kain sekolah) thanks to my maid yang rajin nak menjahit, in fact dia yang semangat nak buat siang malam.. aku just belaja and bg instruction.

(hujung tu dilipat untuk menunjukkan kain di belah dalam aka 'reversible' -- it's not the actual shape)

Thanks to Jan Andrea @ http://www.sleepingbaby.net. step-by-step to make RingSling or baby pouch ..

(errr pls ignore 'semak' di sebelah kanan gamba :p )
nota kaki model yang mengendong adalah aku sendiri, bukan ibuk indon yaa... cuma takleh reveal identiti sbb kurang menutup aurat..

Dh testing on Haziq and Fatini -- as usual, Haziq yang agak 'jakun' akan melalak2 bila aku nak carry dia, Fatini plak melalak2 mintak di carry (mana la mummy dia larat nak ngangkat2 dia sgt now nih isk..)


5) feeding bottle baby -- dah ada MAM bottle, cuma nak ganti valve. Pastu nak try First years breastflow bottle.

6) sarung bantal / sarung tilam baru -- sarung je baru sbb bantal2 and tilam elok lagi. Takkan nak beli baru lak. Yang ni pon aku buat sendiri (read maid ku yg jahit). Excited nye psl, aku shopping kain flannel kat Nagoya Wangsa Maju dgn maid aku and anak2 aku yang buas2 itu . (hubby on call masa tu). Corak kain tu plak comel2, so aku ended up beli 3 kaler - hehehheh


BIRU -- ni contoh sarung tilam (yg dilipat dua, sbb tak muat frame hihihii.. aku kan photographer amatur aje)

kuning and hijau -- sarung bantal kecik and sarung bantal peluk yg masih belum boh tali - jadi tak senonoh rupanye berkedut2 sbb anak2 ku yang comel ni akan 'konyok' kan buat jadi macam bola, aku pon tak tau kenapa??






7) baju2 baby -- yang ni pon tak plan beli banyak, maybe sehelai dua baju newborns, takkan la sume 2nd hand kot?? ni pon shopping last2 minute lah, tunggu mid year sale ehh..

tu je lah... (dont worry list sure bertambah from time to time ;))
