countdown 2 3 wks ;))

alhamdulillah.. hubby was around since friday. n i got d chance 2 get a post labor massage. huhu.. it was 3-days package, which cost me rm200 per day wit baby bath n massage.

d 1st session of massage was totally in pain. d whole body, from head 2 toe. not 4getting breast massage - 2 unclogged d milk duct. it was d most pain of all n it made me cried ;p.

i'd also bought dis 'manjakani' drink.. d makcik urut said it's good 4 d internal body blood circulation..




felt a bit refresh after d 1st session;))

@7pm we went 2 mothercare 4 nadira's tshirt n jeans shopping;)) as she's getting taller.. so need 2 replace her 'hanging' jeans ;p.. d cutest rompers set dun hav d size 4 arissa. so, will get 4 her next time ;))

n 2day after d 2nd massage session felt more relief on d legs, shoulders n arms. but d head n back still felt pain, makcik said it was bcoz of stress n lots of sitting :((

then, @ 2pm, we headed 2 jakel n ariani boutique. got 2 pairs of raya clothes 4 both hubby n me.. 4 nadira n arissa juz 1 pair of raya clothes, which balance from abah's baju melayu clothes. our raya theme 4 dis yr is 'turqoise' ;)) spent rm800 @ jakel while @ ariani almost rm300, as i got 4 pairs of instant tudung;))



guess dat's d final shopping 4 march. need 2 spare some money 4 d nex appointment wit dr felice @ 16 apr, which i need 2 do d pap smear test. mayb will buy few of nadira n arissa stuff such as diaper, formula milk. n mayb juz snack 4 me..

o ya, during arissa's 2nd wk.. sumtimes she responds when i was talking 2 her ( as answering me back ) ;))










n 4 nadira.. still got her jealousy 2wards arissa ;p.. n even worst when she can't get wat she 1, she'll throw things n sumtimes kick or slaps @ ppl ( dat's 4 my dad, mom n my hubby ). n 4 me, she never dares.. she only speak back when i ask her not 2 do things.. huhu.. we called her 'boss' n sumtimes 'anak raja'.. ;p



she always pose her feet like dis whenever she drinks her milk. like a boss ;p

p/s : arissa was wit me during d 2 days shopping.. she was in d ring-sling carrier.. n thankfully she'd cried only during end of d shopping ;P

labor day

sorry 4 d late story of my labor day.. it was a very long hrs of contractions n nerves of d delivery, wether it'll b caesar again or vbac ;p

25th feb 2012 :

@ 1.15pm, i had my 1st bloody show.. juz a lil' blood. then went 2 kk specialist.. checking 4 d baby's heart beat n my contractions.. but it was false labor :(( juz opened 4 1cm only.. so no need 2 b admitted.. after waiting + 30 mins of check-up + waiting again, finally went 2 my in-laws @ 3.30pm. got d chance 2 eat burger n 'goreng pisang'.. yummy ;p

during nite time, got d 5mins gap of contractions @ 11pm. all nite long of aches.. didn't remember wat time i had my sleep. but surely lots of waking up bcoz of d pain..

26th feb 2012 :

6.30am arrived @ kk specialist.. during d check-up i was dilated wit 1.5cm, n d contractions gap was 6mins.. then admitted 2 d ward. d contractions getting harder..



mama's pose wit nadira;))

@ 4pm, checked again 4 d baby's heart beat n contractions development.. really in pain n tiring.. n @ 7.15pm dr felice came n i was dilated wit 4cm, so dr felice ruptured my amniotic sac n found out dat d baby already poop a bit in d belly.. huhu..

still in totally pain.. @ 11.25pm, got dripped wit d 'magic water', d nurse called it. dilated wit 6cm n induced wit pitocin..

27th feb 2012 :

later @12am, i was brought 2 d labor room.. seriously i'd decided 2 call 4 caesar again, really can't stand wit d pain.. but d nurse checked me n i was dilated wit 8cm.. thankfully i'm able 2 do d vbac;))

n after struggling wit d pain n pushing d baby..










finally @ 2.08am, arissa nathifa was born via vbac.. felt so relieved ;))









after being cleaned..

arissa got her 1st attempt of breastfeeding @ 3am, but still no milk produced. try 2 rest but keep on waking up.. felt pain 4 d stitches n contractions.. yup, still feeling it.. n d stitches, i'm sure there's a lot of them.. huhu..



@ 11am 2nd attempt 4 bf again..






n only @ 4pm, i was allowed 2 go home.. dr felice haven't given her total fees, so d nurse was had 2 give us late invoice from d kksc..

it was heavy rain outside.. :(( thankfully d staff nurse helped me getting into d car by lifting nadira 1st.. hubby got totally wet.. no 1 else was there 4 us.. as 4 nadira, lots of ppl accompanying her home 4 d 1st time..

alhamdulillah.. everything was ok;)) hopefully our new bundle of joy will make our family stay happy, stronger, joyful, blessed n healthy;))

hohoho.. x'mas is around d corner n i'm still bz trying 2 complete all of d shopping ( home - baby - maternity ).

thurdays's nite went 2 sunny supermarket.. shop 4 some snacks, also nadira's formula milk n diaper. b4 dis she used huggies dry @ blue. as las time d quality quite nice, but now easily 2 leak. esp during nite sleep. so i'd bought 1 pack of mamy poko n which d price is actually double from d huggies n also bought 2 packs of huggies dry comfort @ red, which r more expensive than d blue 1. hope dat d red 1 quality also better la;))

d 3+2 leather sofa in pure white.. actually i really luv'd d design n d WHITE colour.. but after considering d 'toddler n baby'.. i've decided 2 order a new 1 wit beige colour ( darker than cream but lighter than lite brown ).

here's d beige colour ;))



but unfortunately got called 2day by casa saying d beige colour leather only available in january. so d sofas can only b completed in march. so i've chose d cream colour. hmm.. hopefully we can take care 4 d cleanliness. haha.. got less 4 d price, so we juz hav 2 pay rm5310 4 them;)) d sofas r in 5-yrs warranty 4 d spring n structure, not including 4 d leather if teared or got dirty.

then, d tv cabinet..


got d below cabinet only 4 rm1690. d top rack already bought by some1 else earlier. luv'd d glossy effect.. match wit d soon-46"-sony-led-tv.. haha.. when can we get d chance 2 buy them? now got promotions everywhere in kk. 4 juz rm4k u got d tv either wit free sony blu-ray player or d sony theatre sound system. huhu.. if we'r not in tight budget, surely will grab 1 ;p



n here's our coffee table. luv d white colour tempered glass on top of it. also d table is quite low than ordinary coffee table. so, can b our modern-japanese-table 2. haha.. d price is fixed since it's best buy furniture.

after done shopping wit d furniture, got d chance 2 hav lunch @ my fren's mom's retaurant @ sadong area. a fren dat being lost 4 so long. something happened in d past dat made her far away from her hubby n family. a very sad story, hopefully she n her baby is safe n in good condition where ever they'r now..

from sadong, we went 2 parkson @ wawasan plaza. bought myself bras 4 breastfeeding later,



boxers n inner t-shirts 4 hubby, n 4 our baby :



disney's minnie romper n pants, also minnie's nail clipper.
