Penyayang sangat Kakak Khayra ni. Sayang (campur geram, of course) Adik Hafiya!

Semoga ikatan kasih sayang Khayra dan Hafiya ini dibawa sehingga ke Syurga. Amin.

Loves;

Ibu dan Abah.

KL Trip and BBW2014

We just got back from KL trip.

Dato’ Boss bagi cuti hari Khamis sebab ada firm trip to Melaka and Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. We didn’t join the trip sebab hubs ada kes kat KL on Thursday, so ambil cuti on Wednesday, terus dapat straight Selasa – Jumaat di KL.

Everywhere is on S-A-L-E in KL (Christmas sale / Year End Sale). I wish money can grow on tree. Teehee. We managed to go to One Utama dan Sogo kejap for a quick shopping, had dinner at Group Base (reminiscing memory masa hubs was staying in Damansara and working at B*NM) and went to Coliseum Cafe at PJ for Mama’s birthday dinner. We went to Big Bad Wolf (BBW) book sale (#bbw2014) during its opening day and went crazehhh over there. Managed to meet Zmah and family at BBW as we planned to meet for a while kat BBW untuk shopping books together sebab tak sempat nak lepak as this time was a short trip to KL (too bad Linda could not join us sebab ada wedding kat Kedah). Orang cakap, jumpa melepas rindu. Ececece.

Started our journey back to KT at 4.30pm after Asar prayer, made a pit stop at Mesra Mall as Khayra wanted to watch either Big Hero 6 or Penguins of Madagascar as we didn’t manage to catch a movie in KL for this trip. We settled for Penguins of Madagascar sebab sampai lewat sikit from show time of Big Hero 6. Then teruskan perjalanan ke KT. Sampai KT I did the unpacking things, laundry etc and sleep at 3am. Fuhh. Nasib baik the next day still cuti. 

So these are our catch at BBW. Cheap books are rocks! Murah sangat, even yang Dora collection tu pun murah (just RM3) dari previous years (been collecting them for Khayra and Hafiya – previous years they sold them at RM5). Found the Ready-To-Read Dora books collection (Level 1 / 6 pieces per pack) last 2 years but this year they sell it on loose (RM6 per piece) so kena mencari juga to cukupkan all the titles. I personally think the Ready-To-Read Dora series book is good for her age and kids would enjoy reading them. I’ve never come across these series kat kedai buku, so it is a good investment sebab Hafiya pun suka Dora just like her big sister. Hehe. Buku Kisah para Nabi tu pun murah, RM2 per piece / title. Syoklah kami borong.

I hope BBW boleh buat kat KT juga macam kat the other states yang diorang jelajah. Please Wolf, come over to KT, pretty please! :)

Hafiya Reads - Things Around Us

I have a problem to upload this video on Instagram though. Hmmp, before I lost the clip, I think I want to share it right here for our memory J

Hafiya – reading a book J

(This video was taken on 19.09.2014 – a month before she turned 2 years old). 

The Scenes

We were having our dinner together with my PIL last night at a restaurant when suddenly we heard a sound of vehicle’s brake and I noticed a black object melantun di tengah jalan. The restaurant was located next to a straight road heading to a main road. Tiba-tiba orang ramai berkerumun to see what has happened and my husband joined the crowd. Suddenly nampak ada seorang bapa mendukung seorang anak kecil sambil menangis and said:

(in Terengganu’s dialect) “Bakpe orang buat ke anok ambe gini. Bakpe, bakpe bakpe…”

I could clearly see in front of my eyes these following scenarios:

A father tengah merintih menangis mengenang nasib diri anak kecilnya.

A little boy (he was unconscious) sedang didukung oleh bapanya yang menangis.

The face of the little boy yang tenang tapi tidak sedarkan diri dan terkulai sebegitu. 
The crowd trying to help and advising the father to take the little boy to the hospital right away.

The way of the father was carrying the unconscious boy, with his sad face, his lost of direction, his tears and his whimpers.

I couldn't sleep well last night because of this (even though I did not see the actual accident scene). The above scenes were playing repeatedly inside my head. My FIL was also in teary eyes. Khayra became upset and wanted to sleep with us last night.

Too sad and I just couldn't imagine how the father’s reaction after this, how about the little boy’s condition and how about the driver’s of the FWD take this?

Please Allah, protect all of us. 

Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin. 

Clingy Mom

I have never been sleeping alone at night without my babies ever since Khayra was born (that was 5 years ago). Back then, I will nurse them to sleep while they were babies and still BF. Being easy babies (syukur, Alhamdulillah), both of them will sleep throughout the night (STTN) when they were 40 days old and usually wake up only for feeding during Subuh or at 6.00 o’clock in the morning.  

My nature of work gives me flexible time and I could count with my fingers how many outstation cases / courses I need to attend in these 8 years of practicing (or in 5 years when I became a mom) and leaving my girl(s) behind. None of the cases / courses that I need to attend requires me to stay back or had to stay overnight leaving my girl(s) behind.

So when one of our biggest bank panels invited me for a 2D1N course on Islamic Banking at Kuantan during working days, I was happily told my husband that all of us can tag along and he can apply for a leave and stay with the girls at the hotel - while I attending the full day course and we can go out for dinner and shopping thereafter (yihaa!). Little did I know, that my husband had back to back trials during that week (sobs!). I became panic. It was impossible to bring along both girls when hubby will not be around as it was a full day course for 2 days and Kuantan is like 3 hours drive from KT (mayday! mayday!). After discussing all the possible ways and alternatives on this matter, we decided that I have to go alone and left my girls with my husband (huwaaa!). I cried literally even though that was the best option for us.

So on 28^th – 30^th May (I even remember the historical dates!); I drove to Kuantan with a heavy heart with my PA after sending my girls at their respective daycare centers (it was school holiday and that would be another hard reason for me to leave them at home. Tsk!). Khayra cried the night before I went to Kuantan and Adik Hafiya was still not understood why Ibu and her big sister were crying. Hahaha.

We had to go a day earlier to settle my case at Kuantan before going to the course on Islamic Banking. That was the FIRST TIME I sleep without my little girls being around me or in the same room or vicinity and so much drama before making that final decision. Hehehe.

We were on Skype at night and early in the morning before I left for the course and the girls seemed all fine while her Ibu can’t sleep at all thinking and missing them terribly. Haha. My darling husband always sent pictures of them of what they were doing / eating / wearing. Bahahaha. I could always trust my husband on this matter, I know. Thank you husband for taking a good care of them (love you long time!).

So after an average of 30 hours (it was not even a complete 3 days away from my little girls! LOL!) being away from them, I safely came back home to this :

Melts my heart.

Karangan Panjang (Pheww)

Assalamualaikum.

Fuhh, setahun tak update. Fuh fuh fuh (tiup habuk). Suami ada encourage suruh update tapi apakan daya, masa tak mengizinkan (d’uhh).

Where to start eih? I am still a full time working mother (tsk!) and still a mom of two girls. I will write randomly jelah today ye ikut sub topic (ecewah). Rindu sebenarnya bila baca entry lama. Kesian Hafiya, not so much update on her (we love you nevertheless, Adik!).

KHAYRA

Dah berusia 5 tahun pada bulan 7 yang lalu. Kami buat small birthday celebration kat Secret Recipe memandangkan birthday Khayra jatuh pada bulan Ramadhan. Next, masa pergi KL during Nuzul Quran, kita buat small celebration dengan anak-anak my besties; anak Linda (Wijdan) dan anak Zmah (Hana) kat Umai Café Putrajaya. Ordered Frozen cake from my primary school best friend, Nadia yang tinggal di Putrajaya and dia delivered kat hotel. Kami menginap 1 malam di The Everly Putrajaya sebab nak jumpa kawan-kawan sambil buat birthdays Khayra, Wijdan dan Hana (hari lahir diorang lebih kurang dekat-dekat) dan juga berbuka puasa bersama Liza yang kebetulan balik bercuti dari UK. Malam tu juga Khayra dapat surprise gifts dari kami (apart from dapat hadiah-hadiah dari my besties), iaitu Frozen dolls and Frozen plush dolls yang kami kirim dari Liza – beli direct from Disney Store UK. Masa tu kan semua tengah in pasal Frozen so banyak websites sold out. Hmpph. Terima kasih banyak Liza for the efforts carikan Frozen dolls and Frozen plush dolls untuk Khayra dan Hafiya. Memang drama sungguh nak belikan sebab kena berebut kat website Disney Store UK (sebab selalu sold out and ada limit on quantity to buy) and kesungguhan Liza menapak cari kat semua kedai Disney and kedai toys kat UK! Haha, thank you so-so-so much!

Khayra dah masuk sekolah baru this year, sekolah tadika abah Khayra (dan Mak Ngah dan Pak Long Khayra juga). First day, nangis sebek juga masa kami tinggalkan dia (sebab new environment kot, alahai anak ibu!). Tapi bila picked her up at 12, Teacher Rozita cakap dia OK je lepas tu. Nangis kejap je. Hehe. So sebenarnya Khayra nangis sebek tu setiap kali kami tinggalkan dia pagi hari kat class berlarutan untuk 1 month plus. Bahahaha. Tapi sebab Teacher dia cakap she was all fine, that she will participate in class, boleh repeat apa Teacher ajar, berkawan elok, makan OK semua, so kami rasa tu adalah simpton separation anxiety je lah kot. Hehe. Fast forward, Alhamdulillah tamat tadika 5 tahun di St. Theresa dengan kepujian dari Teacher. Dan within 2-3 months kat sana, dah nampak perubahan Khayra that she is more independent, tak clingy sangat, tak takut stranger sangat (she is a kind of very-very reserve dan pemalu dengan orang luar before this) dan keyakinan diri tu nampak lebih tinggi. Masa Report’s Day, Teacher komen, she’s the best in class, cepat buat kerja dan homework dan tergolong dalam kumpulan yang tak bermasalah dalam kelas. Alhamdulillah. Cuma kena give more attention on her hand writing dan penulisan Jawi. Sekolah Khayra ni ada pelbagai kaum dan setiap kali perayaan, diorang akan ada menyanyi lagu budaya masing-masing. Konsep 1Malaysia gitu. Best friends Khayra adalah Ivy, Damia, Sharifah dan Lylia.

Sebenarnya Khayra ni nampak sangat berminat dengan art. Dia suka spend time untuk melukis, colouring, painting and experimenting macam dalam siri Art Attack / Sains apa ntah kat TVIQ tu. So kadang ada weekend free, akan layan juga dia buat giant fly, giant bee, painting etc. Now Khayra suka sangat collect figurines (Sofia the First, Princesses, My Lil Pony, Frozen to name a few) dan Lego Friends (yang murah tu!).

Sangat sayang Adik Hafiya dan selalu mengalah (I think first born memang kebanyakan macam ni). 

HAFIYA

Dah berusia 2 tahun pada Oktober yang lalu. Kami buat small celebration dengan family (kebetulan Mak Ngah dan family ada balik). So just potong kek dan keluar dinner ramai-ramai. Ada juga buat celebration kat school, ibu tempah cupcakes dan buat goody bags for her friends.

Hafiya dah masuk (play) school / taska earlier this year. Setahun je duduk dengan Tok Wan. Tu pun Tok Wan pujuk hantar lambat sikit. Tapi tak sanggup susahkan Tok Wan dan biarlah dia rest. Hafiya ni sangat aktif dan tak duduk diam sangat. Hehe.

First day hantar school, Hafiya cebik kejap je. Lepas tu, tak nangis langsung, siap babai ibu lagi. Haha, lain sungguh dengan Kakak! So far, Teacher kata dia tak pelat dan boleh kenal semua kawan-kawan dalam kelas. Dah graduate BF tanpa drama macam Kakak juga, Alhamdulillah. No more co-sleeps with us tapi recently macam nangis juga kalau letak dalam cot dia. Nak juga peluk ibu. Huhu. Memula, dia macam susah kalau lepas balik travel nak tidur sendiri, sebab kalau travel kan tidur sekatil semua, so macam syok agaknya dekat dengan ibu abah kakak. Tulah permulaan dia sedar boleh tidur dengan ibu abah juga kalau nangis macam kena pukul bila ibu atau abah letak dalam cot. Haha, panjang akal. So kadang tak sampai hati biar dia nangis, angkat jelah letak atas bed kami. Kadang tengah malam abah transfer juga balik dalam cot dia, kadang sampai pagi tak terpindah. Haha.

Hafiya tak fussy eater juga macam Kakak, makan semua jenis makanan dan sayuran dan buahan. Ada jugalah ikut hari dia pilih nak sayur carrot je, atau nak broccoli je atau boleh je telan semuaa sekaligus atau just makan macam finger foods. Bab makan memang juara sebab makan banyak dan memang bertambah. Alhamdulillah.

Hafiya jarang demam (syukur, Alhamdulillah) tapi kalalu batuk tu agak lama boleh prolong sampai 3 weeks. Tapi doctor cakap sebab ada family history ada asthma so kalau batuk tu boleh prolong. As long as tak demam panas, should be OK. First dia demam masa usia 8 bulan, nak tumbuh gigi. Air liur memang menjejes lah siap kena pakai bib. Haha. Dia dah show interest in books dari kecil. Memang favourite dan boleh duduk diam kalau belek buku-buku. Favourite character sekarang ialah Dora (macam Kakak dulu!), Frozen dan Sofia. Oh, suka sangat menyanyi dan menari. Kalau Hi-5 tu, memang hafal semua lagu dan dance steps sekali! Haha.

Oh, sungguh sayang Kakaknya tapi ada juga sayang sambil cubit pipi Kakak dan gigit tangan Kakak. Haha.

Z*MC

I still work at the same firm. Masih satu firma dengan abah dan suami tapi kami handle portfolio yang lain, different clients dan office kat tingkat yang berlainan. Get it? Haha. Ada orang tanya, tak bosan ke kerja satu pejabat. Alahai, apa yang bosan? Bukan kami berkepit pun 8 jam tu. Hmmph. Ada orang tanya lagi, lunch selalunya dengan suami atau abah dan/atau both, tak bosan ke? Alahai, apa nak bosan? – Masa lunch berdua tu (tanpa anak-anak) adalah masa dating kami, boleh lah cerita dan gossip semua benda. Family matters memang tak pernah bosan pada saya as I always put my family as my priority. Lagipun, kalau kat KT ni, you will see hampir semua pasangan akan ada waktu lunch dengan spouse masing-masing. Seriously. Sort of dating lah kot. Gitu. Hehe.

HOLIDAY

Eih, sukalah holiday ni. Haha. Topik yang tak bosan.

Last year kami berpeluang ke Sydney. Masa tu Hafiya still boleh ber-baby wearing (she was 6 month-old) dan fully BF so tak ada masalah bila letak dalam Pupsik Pouch tu. Now, mau nak kena kejar je. Haha. Then ada ke JB melawat my brother. Tak banyak berjalan last year sebab Hafiya still kecil dan kami baru nak adapt traveling with 2 kids. Hehe. Fuhh, kata orang.

Then this year, Hafiya besar sikit we managed to ajak (dan belanja) both of our parents bercuti naik Cruise (Star Cruise Libra) from Penang – Krabi – Phuket – Penang for 4D3N. Experience baru lah bagi kami. Adik bongsu saya pun turut serta dalam percutian tu. Best tau, tak reti nak explain. Tapi kalau ada peluang, pergi lah hop on cruise for a holiday. Makanan memang superb lah, 4 kali sehari and buffet style, ada restoren Halal kalau naik Superstar Libra. Both of our parents pun suka dan berpuas hati sangat. 

Next kita pergi Jakarta dengan my parents, just for shopping je. Tak pergi visits sangat pun sebab dah kali kedua pergi. Then family day side my husband kat Fraser’s Hill. Pening oo naik ke atas tu, jalan berlingkar macam ular, mabuk jugak seposen. Haha. 

Next pergi Bukit Gambang Resort City (BGRC) for weekend with my besties. Ni acara percutian dengan kawan baik berserta family. Had so much fun spending our 3D2N at BGRC. Banyak juga aktiviti – Safari Park (ada animal / bird shows, ada feeding the animals, ada fire show, The Lost Jungle Show, dinner with White Simba Lion etc.) and Water Park. Kami booking pakej 3H2M so memang best lah just lepak-lepak je kat sana ramai-ramai. Tapi Zmah and Bon terpaksa balik awal sebab Hani demam panas masa hari ke-2, risau takut denggi sebab ada 2-3 neighbours diorang yang kena). BGRC is recommended for family holiday.

Next pergi State Bar family day di Tok Aman Bali Beach Resort. Bukan di Bali ya, dekat Kelantan je. Heheh. Seronok juga lah sebab kami menang lucky draw dapat boiler dan pakej penginapan hotel (lokasi, rahsia. Haha). Khayra dan Hafiya menang untuk pakaian beragam (diorang pilih theme Frozen – d’uh, what else, hehe). Khayra dapat 5^th place and Hafiya menang 1^st place. Khayra juga masuk coloring contest (umur 4-6 tahun) dan dapat 1^st place. Suka sungguh bila dapat kumpul hadiah diorang ni. 

So, last week kami baru balik dari JB juga for a short visit. Penat oii bila travel dengan 2 kids ni. Macam tak sanggup untuk destinasi jauh. Bahahahah. Dengan pertambahan beg dan size bagasi, pertambahan baju dan barang untuk packing, pertambahan stroller dan size stroller (we bought a twin stroller for them), pertambahan tenaga untuk jaga dan awasi dua orang kanak-kanak, pertambahan kos (ahahah!) dan pertambahan bekal (we always pack some foods when travel sebab anak-anak suka makan dan mengunyah), pertambahan usia kami (sobs) dan lain-lain factor yang berkaitan, yeah things to consider makin banyak nowadays. Hahahaha.

So till then.

Selamat membaca karangan panjang. Ahahaha.

Little Update on Sanrio Hello Kitty Town

Nak tulis panjang berjela tapi macam tak sempat je harini.

So sebagai teaser, ini adalah my little ballerinas during their ‘Dance with Angelina Ballerina’ slot at Sanrio Hello Kitty Town, Puteri Harbour, Johor during last Monday (04.11.2013).

Happy tak terkata diorang kat sini especially Khayra sebab dia dah faham konsep theme park. Adik Hafiya tepuk-tepuk tangan and tegur-tegur character jelah yang dia boleh. Teehee.

Info : 2 park pass (Sanrio Hello Kitty Town & The Little Big Club) = RM85.00 per pax

Oh ya, more updates on us on Instagram sebab kat sana lebih mudah upload dengan gambar :) Kat sini kena cari masa pula nak upload / transfer gambar etc. Jenguklah kami di Instagram ya! :P

Doa Nabi Yunus A.S.

Nak post entri tapi asyik type, delete, type, delete.

Last-last entah ke mana.

Rindu anak-anak. Alah, setiap masa pun rindu.

Macam tak cukup je masa spend dengan diorang.

Sebab siang semua busy dengan kerjaya masing-masing.

Malam diorang jenis yang tidur awal dan sleep throughout the night.

Akupun apalagi, join sama tidur.

Alhamdulillah, tidur malam aku masih cukup.

Lately, kerap juga terjaga jam 3-4 pagi.

Terjaga pastu takleh tidur.

Fikir macam-macam.

Kalau nak tahu pukul 3-4 pagi tu masa yang tenang nak fikir macam-macam.

Dan waktu yang tenang nak buat solat tahajud.

Kadang-kadang takut dengan dunia hari ini.

Banyak kes jenayah dan kes yang luar biasa berlaku.

Takut fikir masa depan anak-anak.

Mampu tak kita nak jaga mereka?

Mampu tak kita raise them up mengikut syariat agama.

Mampu tak kita bagi kehidupan yang terbaik untuk mereka.

Bila fikir jauh macam ni, hanya doa dan tawakal yang mampu kita buat.

Yang selebihnya hanya Allah yang tahu jalan yang terbaik untuk kita.

Sebab itu kita tak boleh jauh dari-Nya.

La Ilaha Illa Anta Subhanaka Inni Kuntu Minazzolimin.

*Doa Nabi Yunus semasa berada di dalam perut ikan. 

Rajin-rajin kita amalkan. InsyaAllah.

Small Celebration for Hafiya's First Birthday

Happy 1st Birthday, Hafiya!

Hafiya - First Birthday and Reminiscing On the Day You Were Born

Tak pernah ceritakan pengalaman bersalin kat sini. Previously time Khayra, Abah dia yang ceritakan dari side bapa. Hehehe.

Consider this as my little gift sempena birthday Adik Hafiya yang pertama i.e. esok (how time flies!), let’s reminiscing your birth story, shall we? :P

24.10.2012 (Wednesday)

I was on medical leave (MC) since a day before (23.10.2012) since doctor (Dr. Seripah) kata baby dah engaged dan if I wanted to deliver kat Intan, kena rest duduk diam-diam since Intan tutup for Raya Haji (on 26.10.2012 – Friday). Was given MC for 2 days and akan sambung after Raya Haji if belum deliver.

Posted an entry in this blog at noon dan tak rasa nak lunch makan nasi. Dah rasa sakit perut sikit-sikit. So after solat Zuhur, went to the kitchen and makan roti dan aiskrim then tengok TV. At 3pm dah rasa macam ada mild contractions. Timing about 10 minutes apart. Told Hazri dan dia bergegas pulang (on his way home, singgah ambil Khayra kat school). Hazri informed his mother and Mama datang checked on me kat rumah. Terus bersiap nak pergi Intan tapi sempat juga makan nasi sejemput takut tak ada energy nanti.

Hazri sampai kat rumah, kita check semua beg dan masa keluar rumah tu tengah azan Asar. So kita decided nak solat dulu kat rumah, baru pergi Intan. Mama dah risau takut ter-deliver kat rumah. Heheh. Masa tu bearable lah contractions and all. Yang paling sedih adalah masa nak tinggalkan Khayra (we decided to leave her with Mama & our helper).

5.30pm : Doktor Kamsiah did VE and confirmed that I was dilated 3cm and suruh warded. Sebab katanya kalau warded esok dah tak diterima since Intan nak tutup for Raya Haji on Friday. Dalam hati, bersyukur sangat labour signs showed up today sebab we did check on KTS (the male gynea was also on leave), so the only option kami ada adalah HSNZ in which I sangat-sangat nak deliver kat Intan sebab nak doctor perempuan.

Able to get a single ward room and changed into labour attire sebelum went for monitoring the baby’s heart beat etc. Then ubat berak was pumping in and sampai bilik I bergegas to the toilet. Heheh. Baru managed to talk to Umi dan Abah (called earlier but not answered) serta hubby informed our siblings.

7.00pm : Dinner was served. Contractions masih bearable. My parents and Khayra datang after Maghrib.

8.45pm : Another check up by Doktor Kamsiah (the same doctor masa Khayra dulu). I was 6cm dilated. My water broke. I wanted to jalan-jalan (dan digalakkan oleh doctor sebab dia tengok I macam cool je. Hehe) sekitar luar ward. Masa tu rasa sakit tapi macam boleh bertahan. Sempat berbalas Whatsapp dengan siblings, jalan-jalan berborak dengan nurses kat luar, layan Khayra dan sempat tengok baby’s ward. Baca Yasin dan surah-surah pilihan sementara tunggu next check up which was scheduled at 12.45am.

9.30pm : I asked my parents to go home sebab Khayra dah mengantuk. Drama sikit time dia nak balik sebab dia peluk dan nangis, dengan ibu dia pun menangis sama. Hehehe.

(25.10.2013 – Thursday)

Arafah Day. (Hari Wukuf di Mekah)

12.00am : Opted for an early check up. 8cm dilated. Doktor bagi tak balik ke ward (yang cuma boleh jalan sejengkal je. Hehe) and just be in the labour room with husband. Dikeheningan pagi (ecewah), nurse boleh tanya I, “Puan OK? Senyap je, kang sedar-sedar dah deliver.” To them pada tahap 8-9cm dilated and I tak ada ada mengeluh sakit, menangis, trying to push atau membuat bunyi-bunyian pelik (heheh), adalah something yang luar biasa. Alhamdulillah, I still managed to bear the contractions yang datang kejap-kejap. Dalam hati hanya doa doa dan doa serta baca semua surah dan doa yang terlintas difikiran.

1.30am : Tried to push but the contractions were too short and not that strong. Doktor asked me to push while mengiring ke kiri tapi sama juga. Contractions were just too short and not that very strong. Masa tu dah start risau sikit. I talked to Hazri, “Yang, takutnya. Kenapa contractions tak strong? I cannot push” Hazri just kept me calm. Masa tu ada strong determination untuk keluarkan baby cepat-cepat sebab perasaan nak tahu how’s the baby is doing inside tu sangat kuat. Motivation pada ketika itu adalah Khayra, I really nak tengok her expressions bila jumpa her adik baby.

The next minute at 2.24 am setelah berperang dengan contractions yang pendek dan tak begitu kuat, Alhamdulillah I safely delivered a baby weighing 2.76kg. Lega sangat! Big relieved sangat rasa :)

BUT there was an emergency situation berlaku.

When the baby’s head dah keluar dan I could hear baby menangis disaat I dah rasa lega seleganya, Doktor asked me to push lagi sebab tali pusat terbelit! Masa tu dari perasaan lega, tenang dan happy sangat sangat sangat, tiba-tiba rasa panik, berdebar dan risau. Menggeletar satu badan and I tried to push lagi. Masa tu Allah sahaja yang tahu how I feel sebab kita dah bertenang dari kerisauan tapi ada panic situation pula and all I could think of masa tu adalah “ingat Allah, ingat Allah, ingat Allah”. Doktor suruh push lagi sebab tali pusat terbelit 2 pusingan kat leher baby! Doctor was trying to pull off the umbilical cord dari leher baby and tried their very best to keep (save!) me and the baby.

That was the longest hour in my life. Seriously. Alhamdulillah, they managed to make all things right and the baby was showed to me and put on my chest sambil Doctor tanya about the baby’s gender for me to answer.

They passed the baby to Hazri untuk diazan dan iqamah and the after birth process was initiated on me (checking up my condition, my blood pressure etc.).

There was another mom who also delivered a baby boy beberapa minit after Hafiya was born. So I have to wait until the doctor attended that mom dulu before they could release me to my room.

As soon as I was transferred into my room, semua dah ada. My parents, my PIL dan yang penting sekali nak jumpa adalah Khayra! There she was, tengah berkepit dengan baby! The initial plan was Khayra akan ikut my parents balik and akan datang semula after breakfast tapi bila dah jumpa ibu tu, dia tanak balik. So she joined us tidur dalam ward that day. Masa release to my ward pun dah pukul 3 pagi, so tup tap tup tap tak tidur mana dah hari tu. The baby was allowed to be with me in the same room that night.

Pagi-pagi esoknya, my elder brother datang visit with his family all the way from JB. Balik nak Raya Haji, boleh jumpa niece sekali. Heheh. My youngest brother pun datang dari Dungun. We were allowed to be discharged after lunch hour that day dan boleh sambut Raya Haji esoknya (26.10.2012) sekali. Alhamdulillah.

All in all, macam mimpi pun ada rasa bila bersalin ni. Situasi dan sakit berbeza tapi as a mom tak akan lupa untuk setiap detik dan saat giving birth to them. Ni bila menaip pun rasa fresh lagi ingatan. Terima kasih Allah, untuk hayat yang masih ada dan pengalaman melalui jihad kecil melahirkan khalifah-Mu. Syukur untuk setiap apa yang terjadi dengan izin-Mu. Syukur untuk normal delivery and free intervention of any drugs semasa melahirkan both of Khayra and Hafiya.

We named her Hafiya yang bermaksud sangat baik (Surah Maryam, ayat 47). I would consider Hafiya as a survivor who is indeed an easy baby after all. Alhamdulillah.

Sempena hari lahir pertama Hafiya ini, ibu dan abah (serta Kakak Khayra) doakan semoga diberi pinjam selama mungkin hayatnya kepada kami, semoga membesar menjadi anak yang solehah dan semoga sentiasa berada di bawah rahmat Allah.

Amin.

Hubby and Hafiya – a few minutes selepas dilahirkan. Azan dan iqamah.

Born on 25.10.2012 (9 Zulhijjah 1433H) (Thursday)
