The chaos from Ain's wedding is over, so now I am gonna start blogging bout my labour...

When we came back from Ain's wedding, I saw the bloody show.. So the google me went to search on the net what it meant.. SO since it was stated that there is nothing to worry about as it is an indication that labour will begin in 2-3 days times, we went to bed.

Ayie wentt to work on Monday and I stayed home with 'Aqiil. There was more blood patch and I consulted friends on what I should do.. Huda, my cousin in law told me to proceed to KK since she had the same experience.. But the stubborn me decide to wait out.. I am not gonna allow myself to be strapped on the bed coz the contractions would seem to hurt even more. And this time round, I am gonna try not to use epidural..

So in the evening, I start feeling some contractions like an hour apart. Ayie was still not back home as he had to attend class. So I watched TV and played with 'aqiil in between the contractions. At 11pm, Ayie came home and I ate mee goreng in between the contractions. I was telling Ayie that perhaps we should send 'Aqiil to my mom's place just in case we need to rush to the hospital in the wee hours.. So at 12.45am, Irah came to fetch 'Aqiil and at 1am, I told Ayie we should go to the hospital. Ayie said "Serious ker yang?? SMalam nyer penat blom abis nie, you serious nak branak nari??", Boleh gitu?? We packed our bag and bring along the names books since we haven't finalise the name and we left for KK. My contractions were bout 5 mins apart and the taxi driver had to make a wrong turn into the expressway.. Cobaan..

So at 1.35am, we arrived at KKH and I was wheeled into the delivery suite.. So the nurse said that they need to monitor me.. So 20 mins later, I told the nurse that I need the gas..



The gas makes me feel like Im in cloud nine.. I think this is how drug addicts feel after a fix..





Then I couldnt hold the mask myself, I got Ayie to help..

Then 15 mins later, I told the nurse I felt like pushing... The nurse was kinda shock. She asked if it's okie to check how much my cervix have opened and I said okie. I wanted to asked how much I've dilated but looking at her, busy setting up the room, I think I should be fully dilated. Another nurse came in to burst my waterbag and then she told me I can push.. I still remember telling her that it feels so good to push..

So the doctor came, 4-5 push later at 2.38am, Muhammad 'Aafii Roziiq Bin Muhammad Azhari was born weighing 3.655kg and measuring 49cm. There wasn't any shots of 'Aafii while he was being weigh caused everything happen so fast..



My baby boy...



After the chaos.. Very tired...

After this, I felt another urge to push, I was like, eh still got one more baby ker?? It's actually the placenta lah..

Then after the delivery, although still very tired, I couldnt sleep coz I was too busy with my handphone..

My neighbour came to visit..



And there was Zaki's parents and sister and niece..



And also Hafiz and his gf. Hafiz is Ayie's colleague..



I'm A KKH baby..



I had a lot of reservations when I chose to go to KK for this baby since I've heard all the horror stories but I had a very pleasant experience. The nurses in the delivery suite was real nice, giving me lots of motivation and guidance during labour. The nurses at my Ward 82 Room 21 were also very nice. They inform us when they are changing shifts. There was one indian nurse who even chatted with me and told me bout fenugreek. Ayie said maybe it's because we take a single bedded ward so it comes with good service but nevetheless we paid a fraction of what we paid at Raffles and I think the service was even better at KK. So I will definitely recommend people to have their babies there...

That very night, Ayie did the takbir after Maghrib prayers. Just me, Ayie and 'Aafii. It would be even better with 'Aqiil around.. It was just quiet and peaceful..

We checked out on the 17 November 2010 and it's Hari Raya Aidiladha..



Yay, at home.. After this, bout 2 hrs later, relatives came to my place. We had a short prayer, some food to celebrate the newborn..

'Aafii had his first bath by Ayah.. Sorry for the censorship..

That's 'Aqiil photo by the sidel.. We wanted to see if they look similar...

And while Ibu is confined at home, 'Aqiil had a ball of a time with Ayah.. He was going swimming every weekend..

See..

So I am done with the baby thingy.. So more stories will be up on the next pumping session...

:: Ancient History ::

And what year is it now?? 2011?? Goodness, I have'nt even blog about my experiences in 2010 and it's already 2011. So what I am gonna blog is kinda ancient here.. Past year events..

Anyway, I was thinking about what to blog while I lay in bed. Oh prior to 16 November 2010, I sleep early, now bedtime is at 2am. That's the earliest...Well we will come to that later..

I think I'm gonna blog according to dates so that I can remember which events takes place on which day.. Although I am blessed with a photographic memory, it is failing me.. It doesnt function like last time where I can memorize doas, surahs, notes and all kinda stuff in a short period, now some stuff gets out faster then they get in.. Okie Sidetrack here..

So I tell myself that I am gonna blog while I am pumping.. During my second pump... So that way I can ensure that I will be able to catch up..

12 November 2010 - Friday

Okie so we start with Ain's wedding... It was definitely a very very tiring weekend since the preparations starts on Thursday itself.. There weren't much help that Ain the bride and myself and my day had to bring all the things down.. I was already very very late in my pregnancy and a big tummy with an active toddler is definitely not a good combo..

There was some hiccups like the tentage was not fixed despite it being 1pm already. They only come at about 3pm and there was not enough time to get it ready for the solemnisation. So there was plan B. Do it at the void deck. Luckily Ain was not the spoilt bride.. She was okie with anything..

So alhamdulillah, everything went well for this day.. So here presenting the newlyweds..




13 November 2010 - Saturday

There was just some people rewang rewang at my place on this day as Ain will be at Zaki's place as the reception for the groom was helpon this day..

But the weather at my place was notorious.. The plates and bowls were all flying and I was running to save the flying plates when I heard people screaming for me to stop.. OH i forgot that I was pregnant. LOl...



Ain before leaving for Zaki's place.. Gorgeous huh..



The dais at Zaki's place..

14 November 2010 - Sunday

Oh this is where hell breaks lose.. As some of you mighht already know.. My parents are super duper popular and they have tons of friends..So just imagine the crowd.. I was up very early to get the food ready.. I was determined to ensure that everything goes smoothly and no one will complain that there is not enought food.. There was nasi kampung with like 7-8 dishes, the briyani, lontong, laksa, bubur ayam, tau huay and lots and lots of food. It was a huge spread.. So there I was running around.. At times my back was hurting so much but I had to endure and ensure everything is okie before I even think of surrendering and yet again, all was nice and well..



A family potrait..



These two mak enon, I cannot tahan.. They very overlah.. More over than the bride and groom.. Like seriously..



They help carry the bride's gown..



Then they hug..



While people are busy concentrating on the cake cutting ceremony, they sat on the dais and step pengantin..



And they happily walk, hand in hand..

And the while parents fret when they child get all intimate with a girl, these two kepochis parents and grandparents and aunties and uncles gets very excited and end up encouraging them.. lol

So despite all the rush here and there, I will say that I enjoyed every moment..

So much that I cried..

Not easy you know to see me cry... This is a priceless moment.. LoL..

So to my lovely sister and handsome brother in law, I wish you all the best in your marriage. May Allah bestow you with lots of love, happiness, wealth and good health.. May he also guide you the to right path.. Amin..
