Arman Adli

Juz want to update setelah lame tak berblog...currently my lil baby boy da pun selamat kuar dr perut mummy dia neh on 23 july 2010. his name is arman adli.

i've been bz with my lil boy...sampai nak berblog pun da xsempat. seb baek masih sempat tuk berfesbuk lagi...hahaha. I'm very blessed with our new addition to the family. now dah rase macam my family da complete da...hehehe for time being laa! second baby have to wait within 2 years la kot. kasi lil arman adli besar sket dulu. Anyway, kita merancang...Allah yang menentukan.

ok now... i just wanted to share what happened leading up to and after i gave birth. what i find most frustrating about what happened is that how i really wish i had a perfect normal birth but unluckily it didn't turn out like i want. i end up with c-section birth!

I was going for my checkup at my 38week of pregnancy...and i was told that i have to be induced the next morning since my air ketuban and amniotic fluid are not enough for lil baby. Being induced is a bit pain when it comes at nite. mase siang ok je...jarang rase contraction pain. i have been 2 times induced in three days but yet hanye dilated 1 cm only. contraction pain bole tahan lagi but for me kena seluk 2 jari doc every 6 hour for 3 days to see if i have dilated for how many cm is much big pain for me. So i decided to go for c-section on the third day eventhough my hubby still nak i go for normal birth on the next day. tapi amat mustahil bagi diri ini untuk dilated until atleast 2 cm more.

amek berkat hari jumaat...malam tu gak operate...takmo tunggu esok da. at 10pm i da masuk operation room and Alhamdulillah...10.38pm baby pun selamat kuar. terharu, sedeyh dn gembira juga macam-macam perasaan ade. nasib baek i decided to take c-section birth...arman adli is so big for me to go normal birth and tali pusat dia terbelit kat leher. tunggu laen hari pun takleh nak kuar normal.

basically...xdela frust sangat pun cannot go normal birth but glad that he came out completely healthy. The labor and delivery itself really didn't hurt at all.It was only mildly uncomfortable. hey c-section birth is not that bad. macam seronok je tapi yang tak besnya after birth la...abes bius dn kebas...mule la saket bahagian jahitan tu ditambah lagi i batuk mase tu mau tak bergegar perut tahan saket!

It was all worth it though and really much better than I thought it would be.

Upside-down baby!

I am 34 weeks and 3 days pregnant. my lil' baby now gained 2.6kg this week. I've started my weekly checkup last 2 weeks. lil' baby head down and now engage. mild contraction everyday, painful but i think i still can handle it. my hip hurts and it constantly feels like its pinching a nerve.

Although baby head down...he's still active as usual. sometimes when i pee at nite...kul 3-5 pagi pun masih aktif maen2 dalam perut. i don't know where he got that energy. never mind...i lagi suka kalo dia aktif kalo dia tetibe senyap je...makes me even worried. time tu lah nak cari jus buah kasi dia reactive balik.

Our first year anniversary is coming...5 days to go! macam tak peracaye je da setahun. And now we will be having our baby so soon. so great! i'm so cannot wait to hold my lil baby and really hope everything went well when i'll give birth. pray for me ya! ;)

Hello roly...

went for my 32weeks checkup last weekend. my lil' baby is 2 kg now. Last 2week checkup his weigh is 1.4kg. Doc suruh kurangkan makan...but i can't help it since i'm now always hungry all the time. i guess i should consider doc advise...ye lah takut baby besa sangat nanti susah plak mau push. doc also told us to get ready by 36 week. coz baby can come out anytime. aduhhh scary. that time i have my friend wedding and engagement invitation to be attend. sabar ye baby...tunggu mummy gi kenduri aunti seri dn aunty vie ek. =P

During these last few weeks of pregnancy, i experience an increased urge to urinate. naek letih kuar masuk toilet. its getting even worse when i went to sleep. every satu jam nak pee.Oh and the bladder control issues are getting worse and worse, i got those bladder control panty liner even, wait extra long after i pee and still 5mins later, drip drip drip....

I'm predicting this baby is going to come sooner then his due date, I at least want to make it to end of July though, I have had some sever sharp pains and a couple contraction in a week. soon, i will be entering my 34weeks within 2 days from now. wow...another 6 weeks to go. I'm so excited this is going really fast and i'm getting nervous but also stress...however, i gotta get ready!

another 10 weeks to go...

at week 30 i feel as if i have been pregnant forever at this point. It might be hard to imagine being pregnant for another ten weeks, but my lil' baby still has a lot of growing and developing to do!

did i ever say that my air ketuban has started to discharge a bit? well...to tell the truth it did! i'm quite worried about it...since its too early to give birth. not only me who worried...my hubby too. my doctor says if the contraction had come more frequently every 20 minutes or my air ketuban pecah banyak...so better go to the hospital immediately.

Because i'm getting larger, i'm now becoming slower and clumsier. i've should try to be careful to avoid dangerous falls. my tulang pinggul dah 2 minggu saket...doc says that my lil' baby need a lot of calcium eventhough i've drink milk twice a day and eat calcium vit but still not enough...so have to eat more calcium and alhamdulillah its getting better now.

oh not to mention...the heat is killing me now!! so hot these days. my room aircon bole plak rosak. i usually get emotional when its hot. hopefully by this weekend orang tu free nak repair my aircon.

lil baby moves so so much! he likes to kick a lot since he has change his position. other than that i feel likes he's dancing when he heard loud music. feel funny when u've seen something is moving under ur shirt! =)

Quinny Winny

We have looked at many strollers and we can honestly say the Quinny Zapp is the best of the lot. It is a 3 in one. They have the car seat, a baby carrier for a baby from 0- 12 months and a stroller for beyond that till 4 years old. Me and hubby are so in love with this system traveler. We've been searching and usha'ing this thing all over places to get the bestest price.

Besides quinny, hubby ade suke other stroller gak...but i don't even like it. hahaha. Well...we will see about it. coz mr hubby yang bayar. so he will decide. ;)

26 weeks

i love being a pregger and loved being a mummy...i do enjoy every minute of being pregnant. lucky that i'm not having a hell of time through this first pregnancy. Another 97 days to go and i really hope it goes by too fast. i really can't wait for the moment.

Lately in the morning i have so much energy but when it comes to evening...i'm so tired! feels like i haven't sleep in ages! I don't have strecthmarks but i do have back pain and heartburn which is i do not like at all.

My lil' boy can now respond to noise outside or even when we talk to him. nowadays usually every evening he just kicks and punches and does the worm or something...my whole belly looks as if it has huge twiches...hehehe i'm getting to love it.

p.s: baby shopping is a lot of fun!

still a long way

still a long way till my due...oh my expected due is supposed on 1 August not 3 August. salah pengiraan rupenya. anyway. doc cakap lil' baby will maybe came out earlier before due date. this is because of my blood pressure yang kadang-kala naik. But for now, alhamdulillah da normal balik. da hampir sebulan my blood pressure back to normal. how ever, i still need to continue my labetalol medicine regularly...coz doc takut my blood pressure naek lagi.

baby is active as usual...oh so cannot wait to see my lil baby! tak sabar nye nak dakap dn cium baby ku. teruja sangat!

this weekend, there will be an official maternity photoshoot for me n hubby. we had 2 maternity photoshoot before. one is in i-city which is we had never plan pun...amek just suke-suke je. tu pun pakai tripod dn dengan pertolongan my sis. the other one is from one of our friend. dia shoot untuk her portfolio collection. until now we all belum berkesempatan nak tengok hasil photoshoot tersebut...heheheh

oklah...got to go...later on i'll update more story-mory yah! ;)

from the inside...

oh dah lame tak berblogging...been bz with my workload nowadays. besides check-up...i've been bz with some other occasion eventhough bukan semua i leh attend due to my pregnancy.

lil baby is now more active than before...as if like he is practicing martial art. adoyaaiii! kalo dulu hanye certain time je dia berkickboxing... haa la neh bape jam sekali dia wrestling dlm perut mummy dia. kadang-kadang tu bile dah malam time mummy dia nak tdo...every 2-3 mins he's kicking me. my sleep nite...sometimes, agak terganggu sedikit due to kesukaran bernafas. kekadang i kena tdo duduk. baby plak tak suke mummy dia tdo mengiring belah kanan...kalo tak mule lah dia menendang-nendang.

tapi yang paling kelakar bile dia makin mengganas...abah dia sentuh je perut mummy dia...terus dia invi. senyap dn tak tendang-tendang da lagi. takut kot ngan abah dia. hehehe.
that my lil baby! he definitely makes me smiles all the time. belum keluar lagi tapi da buat mummy dia happy dn senyum-senyum. can't wait to meet u!

lil' kicking

last nite i feel my lil baby's kicking...lil baby first kick. i'm so happy till i cried. since baby is kicking me more often...more than 10 kicks. now, i know that my lil baby is ok. Sort of like bubbles, but it had a suction kind of feeling too. Strange but AMAZING!

p.s: how i wish my hubby with me and feel it too. too bad hubby is not around. outstation...

can't hardly wait...

hey it's 20 weeks already...another 4 month to go. times really passed quickly. we are both can't hardly wait to see our lil baby. either its a girl or boy. it doesn't matter. asalkan baby tu sihat walafiat dn sempurna serta cukup sifatnya. buat kami amat rase bersyukur skali.

can't really wait for the next check-up this weekend. oh mummy can't wait to see u lil baby. ;)
kalo la bole that ultrasound thingy tu di bawa balik...dah lame ku guna dn scan tummy ku sendiri hanye untuk melihat baby ku setiap hari... bukan ku sorang je rase begini...kawan-kawanku yg sedang mengandung ketika ini pun rase sebegitu. hahaha

since i'm at 16 weeks of pregnancy....more often like to talk with my baby. everytime bile kena sakat ngan hubby selalu ngadu kat baby...hahaha. cakap kat dia, abah suka sangat sakat mummy... abah notty!

now when its come to shopping...everything mesti barang tuk baby. hanye untuk baby. mummy and abah dia neh...da tade selera da nak shopping barang kami. geram sangat tengok barang-barang baby neh. rase neh beli semua je! kata hubbyku... "buat mengucap ye yang. sudah-sudah la tu". hahaha.

this lil baby in my tummy really makes us happy all the time. anugerah Allah yang terindah dalam hidup ni. bersyukur sangat...dan harapan ku semoga...kelahiran nya nanti...adalah kelahiran yang mudah dn selamat. doa- doa la ye...=)

8 t e e n w e e k

ever since entering second trimester, i feel much better. pendek kata...sangat teruja! hahaha =P

now i'm 18 weeks of pregnancy. kejap je da minggu ke 18... tak lame lagi da nak 5 month. however, i had never got a chance to feel the baby kicking yet. i do feel liltle wiggle and vibrates...but i think its only about the gas. rasenya la...hehehe

baby is growing well...alhamdulillah. tiap kali gi checkup n buat ultrasound...i can see the baby is moving and hiccup. oh sangat comel. sumtimes, dok angguk-angguk bile doc ngah scan mummy dia nye tummy sambil mengexplain ape yang patut tentang perkembangan dia. macam paham je ape yang doc cakap.

boy or girl? belum tau lagi...kite tunggu dan lihat k. ;)

getting old

10 more days to go old. then i will turn to 29 this year. hey! i'm not old. 29 is just a number... :P
well, in my age... i do achieve a lot of things in my life and i'm proud of it. getting older doesn't makes me feel i'm old enough to do the things i like most.

getting old makes me really not thinking of how old i am. it's time for me to enjoy my marriage life and parenthood. enjoy and be happy with it. this year will be the great year ever... life is now enjoyable. now i have to get ready to be a mommy and parent as well.

for me when we get old...life is getting better and better. age really gives u a very different perspective of things...and its time for me to treasure the moment of life with my dear hubby and coming soon baby!

why i blog?

the reason why i blog? not to show or to tell everybody about my life and what i'm up to... I blog to remind myself about the things I’ve learned, the things I know, the things I want to achieve, and the things I already do well. which keep myself focused, positive and moving forward and as a record of how far I’ve come.

basically i love to share some information that i know... my blog are just not because of my life only...I blog to share with them some of the things I know, and some of the things I want them to know. I blog to give them things I feel they may want, need or are missing, and to stay in communication and relationship with them.

not everybody knows about my blog...i don't share my link to most of the blogs, facebook, twitter, etc... except my friends. so, kalo ade pun maybe diorang secara tak sengaja terbrowse dn terbace my blog.

kesimpulannye...it's another way for me to restore my memory, gain information and share information. blogging makes me hilangkan stress juga...and it makes me feel good! tapi tak semestinya tiap kali i berblog, i tengah stress atau ngah emo k... ;)

happy cake

i love to do something which needs me to be creative and innovative. i just browsed to a website and i saw this cute diaper cake suitable for baby shower and gift. thinking of doing something special for someone this coming February.

p.s: oh bile mau pegi membeli belah ye? can't wait to start...

when i see u

last thursday...i went for checkup. it was my first time when i see my lil' baby floating and swimming inside my tummy. so amazing. macam nak nanges pun ade. speechless ok. tengok lil baby mcm melompat2 dlm tummy neh a bit mcm tak percaya je...tapi tu la hakikatnya.

i am so happy...alhamdulillah baby sihat. hampir cukup sifat cume ade certain part yang lom develop lagi... i'm currently 13 weeks of my pregnancy. for the past 3 month... no morning sickness at all. only nausea and dizzy sket2 bile dah malam. syukur sangat-sangat. adatla bile mengandung mesti ade abdominal pain and saket-saket pinggang coz tu rase saket bile baby tengah nak membesar dn nk develop organ-organ dlm badan..

lately neh... me da start rajen. tamo da malas-malas. even though sumtimes i have no energy and getting pretty uncomfortable...tapi tamo la ikut kan perasaan sangat. is not good for me n baby.

bile masuk 13 weeks...its getting more excited. tak sabar nak masuk second trimester. =)

Starting It Off Right

This year i will..

1. be a mommy!
2. lose weight after my confinement
3. thinking of buying a house...find a better place to invest in future.
4. help hubby looking for an apartment, condo or terrace house which is in affordable and reasonable price to rent.
5. find a good online business other than photography and designing.
6. step out of my comfort zone and will take risks, add variety and become more creative.
7. be a great role model. this will make me a better wife, parent, friend, photographer and designer.
8. be more positive.
9. manage my shopping budget and money.
10. less shopping...huahuahua. enough being a shopaholic!

cry baby cry

During my pregnancy my body has been to undergo some tremendous changes in hormone levels. Mood swings are very common because of these hormone changes and it is not something i have much control over. Nearly all pregnant women are prone to emotional ups and downs. And it happens to me also. Common “side effects” include bouts of feeling unsure and panicky, extreme reactions to minor things and even crying.

i usually cry when i feel sick...it even makes me sick whenever hubby is not around me.

p.s: now, i know...

pantang larang...

Amit-amit jabang bayi, ojo kaget!

AYAT di atas yang bermaksud 'moga bayi yang dikandung tidak terkejut' sering disebut oleh ibu-ibu mengandung (yang berketurunan Jawa) ketika mereka tersentak atau terkejutkan sesuatu.

Mereka yang berketurunan Jawa percaya bahawa seseorang wanita mengandung yang terkejut atau terperanjat boleh memudaratkan bayinya.

Seperti contoh, sekiranya seorang wanita mengandung itu terkejut apabila terlihat muka seseorang yang hodoh, wanita itu perlu cepat-cepat menghentak kaki ke tanah sebanyak tiga kali lalu menyebut ayat di atas sambil mengurut-urut perutnya.

Jika tidak, janin akan turut terkejut dan mungkin terkenan dengan lahir berwajah hodoh.

Konsep terkenan membawa maksud terpengaruh pada keadaan sesuatu yang luar biasa, boleh jadi buruk atau baik, sehinggakan turut menjejas kandungan ibu mengandung.

Selalunya, terkenan membawa kemudaratan.

Jarang sekali wanita mengandung terkenan pada sesuatu yang baik kerana terkenan selalu berlaku kerana wanita mengandung itu terkejut apabila melihat sesuatu yang luar biasa.

Masyarakat Melayu sehingga sekarang masih lagi percaya pada konsep terkenan.

Justeru, banyak pantang larang wanita mengandung yang masih diamalkan untuk mengelakkan musibah ini.

• Jangan minum air kelapa dan air nenas pada trimester pertama.

* dikhuatiri bayi akan gugur.

• Jangan mengikat mati benang, plastik atau sebagainya.

* dikhuatiri ibu sukar melahirkan.

• Jangan mengetuk dinding rumah.

* dikhuatiri uri bayi akan melekat pada rahim, biarpun bayi telah selamat dilahirkan.

• Jangan mandi malam.

* dikhuatiri air ketuban akan berlebihan sehingga memudaratkan bayi dlm kandungan.

• Jangan banyak minum ais.

* dikhuatiri saiz bayi akan besar dan sukar dilahirkan. Ada juga sesetengah pendapat
mengatakan takut bayi mudah dijangkiti demam kuning.

• Elakkan minuman bergas dan kafein.

* dikhuatiri kandungan mudah gugur.

• Jangan lilit tuala pada leher dan pada rambut (utk keringkan rambut)

* dikhuatiri tali pusat akan melilit leher bayi.

• Kurangkan mkn buah oren.

* dikhuatiri bayi dilahirkan byk kahak.

• Elakkan membuat kerja2 menjahit.

* dikhuatiri tali pusat anak akan berbelit dan sukar melahirkan.

• Apabila terlihat benda yg pelik, cepat2 beristighfar.

* dikhuatiri bayi akan mengenan.

• Kurangkan mkn pisang.

* pisang menyebabkan rambut bayi terlalu lebat.

• Jangan memburu atau membunuh binatang. (bg suami dan isteri)

* dikhuatiri sukar utk bersalin.

• Jangan mkn betik muda.

* getah yg ada padanya menyebabkan kandungan boleh gugur.

Sejauh mana kebenarannya tidak dapat dipastikan.

Masyarakat dahulu memang percaya pada konsep terkenan.

Menurut kata orang-orang tua, konsep terkenan diperkenalkan pada masyarakat Melayu dahulu, mungkin kerana takut wanita mengandung menyebut atau terdetik dalam hati kata-kata yang tidak baik terhadap sesuatu makhluk atau ciptaan Tuhan.

Konsep terkenan juga adalah semacam peringatan kepada kaum wanita yang mengandung dan suaminya supaya mempunyai perasaan sayang terhadap alam dan makhluk Tuhan serta tidak berlaku kejam.

Sesungguhnya, doa manusia atau binatang yang teraniaya selalunya dimakbulkan Tuhan.

Allah menguji manusia dengan berbagai-bagai cara dan sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui.

Kesimpulannya, hati, mulut dan perbuatan perlu dijaga ketika hamil.

Sekiranya terkejut apabila melihat sesuatu yang pelik dan menakutkan, anggaplah pandangan sebegitu sebagai dugaan dan segeralah menyebut nama Allah dan beristighfar.

Banyakkanlah membaca Al-Quran, surah Yasin, surah Taubah, surah Yusuf, surah Luqman dan surah Maryam.

Insya-Allah, anak yang dilahirkan sihat, elok rupanya, sempurna sifatnya serta baik tingkah lakunya.

Terpulang pada individu samada hendak percaya atau tidak dengan pantang larang ni... Apapun, kita serahkan pada yang Maha berkuasa...Dia yang lebih mengetahuinya. Kita sebagai umatnya...hanya perlu berdoa dan bertawakal kepadaNYA.

p.s: "Ya Allah, Kurniakan kepadaku daripada sisi-Mu keturunan (anak) yang baik, sihat dan sempurna. Sesungguhnya Engkau sentiasa mendengar (menerima) rayuan doa hambaMu".

shopping lagi...

hubby is back to work... now I'm alone again without him. boringgg.

oh...now i da 10 weeks of pregnancy...my sickness sangatla horror.
tengah hari dan malam ade lah saat paling genting bagiku. pinggangku mula saket. tak tertahan rasenya. tapi tu la...becoming a mommy kene banyak sabarnya.

As i said my previous post, hubby is so excited when he sees baby thingy. Last week, he bought a graco pack n play disney. which is sangat berbaloi harganya dan tak bole tahan dr membelinya. what i really like this pack n play thingy...it has spacious frame for baby to sleep or play. It also come with elevated changer table. i think it suitable for our baby. At first i even thought of buying a baby cot but hubby doesn't like the idea. we bought our graco pack n play at the firstfewyears shop in the curve damansara. enough with the baby shopping...we have to stop shopping for a while. don't want to get to overexcited. nanti dah masuk 5-6month baru continue balik.

ok...i think i better stop here. my back ache is killing me now. later 2becontinue...
