Yup2 we're in JB again. This time with a full car. As in really full. Brought along Izma's babysitterS a.k.a. her opah and cu. This time is on my business trip so I can book another room for opah and cu. Compared to the last time we came here, this time's trip is more challenging and tiresome. First, it was a long weekend for M'sia and S'pore due to Wesak Day so the traffic was quite heavy on the PLUS highway heading south. Most of them were S'pore cars. The usual 4-hour journey took around 5 hours++. All the R&R were full including the small Simpang Renggam R&R. It feels like driving during raya holidays (ceh macam la I yg drive ;p).
And secondly, our journey was stressful due to Izma's screaming in the car. She felt really bored I guess because cannot guling2 in the car and started screaming (very loud ya!) all the way from the toll plaza exit at JB until Bluewave Hotel car park. She stopped screaming once I carry her out from the car. Suddenly she became a very good girl...and very happy! Fuhh I should wished that she slept through the journey...hehe luckily she managed to sleep around 3 hours in the car :)
Once in the hotel, she was very excited to be laid down to the huge comfy bed. Started guling2 on the bed like she's in heaven...hehe lepas gian tak dapat guling2 dlm car. And last night she slept like a baby (she seldom does this eventhough she's really a baby...haha). But even then she still had her 'playtime' at 4am, guling2 by herself and gooing herself because mama and ayah had already passed out. Then she slept back until 6.30 am! Nice bed ye Izma. Let's ask ayah to buy one for us :)
So all in all so far so good. Whatever it is I'm just thrill because we're going to spend the whole of this week with ayah!!!!! Bestest ever! Best best best!
See our baby walks...

Don’t grow too fast dear…
Wow our dearest little izma is 4 months today! In a blink of an eye! That tiny baby had turned into a chubby bubbly baby now :) yup bubbly with her saliva ;p
Anyways I have a lot to write actually on my journey of 4-month motherhood and parenthood. It’s a totally different path to walk through compared to my single mingle life and together-gether-with-hubby-only life. Please do ignore the second last phrase if you don’t understand it because I also don’t.haha ;p
Ok la I think I want to begin with what comes into my mind first. Ok now the second thought already comes also. But I’ll still start with the first thought. First come, first serve. Whatever. What I really want to record here is my daily schedule as a mama to a 4-month old baby. Basically I adapted this schedule since I started working 2 months ago. So far this routine is still valid and I want to record this as my future reference. But mind you, the ‘future’ will not be in the near future ya ;p ok2 enough with the babble babbling. So now I’m sharing my daily routine here…
5 am :
Wake up and straight to shower (however this depends on that little girl; if she joins me waking up then I have to ‘bribe’ her with her ever love breastfeeding session so that she can drift back to sleep…hehe; this can takes up to 30 mins so my shower session can be in between 5-5.30 am…pjg lak bebel ;p)
5.30 am:
Finish my shower, put on my contact lens, put toner on my face, join izma to sleep if she haven’t wake up yet by this time
6 am:
Perform my Subuh prayer
6.05 am (laju giler solat ;p):
Kacau2 izma to wake her up for her morning breastfeeding session; change her diaper, bf her for about half an hour
6.35 am:
Get ready for work, get dress, basic make up (will put on lipstick in the car…hehe multitasking ;p), ready all my breastpump accessories
6.45 am:
Start my car engine, carry izma to walk2 a little bit outside the house n play2 with her
6.55 am (pergghhh detail x ingat):
Go to work
7.45 am:
Reach office, breakfast, check email, bla bla bla ;p
9 am:
First breastpumping session
12 pm:
Second breastpumping session
3 pm:
Third breastpumping session
5 pm (sharp):
Out of office
6 – 6.30 pm:
Reach home, put EBM (expressed breast milk) in fridge, change clothes, watch akasia with izma (watched Cinta Balqis, Na O Mei and currently watching Adamaya :))and concurrently bf her (time ni mmg lepas gian dak kecik tu; bersungguh2 walaupun kenyang…hehe sian die sehari suntuk kene minum botol)
7.45 pm:
Solat Maghrib and let izma play by herself with mr crab, mr Lamaze, etc.
8 pm:
Bf izma and usually this is the ‘sleeping’ feeding; she usually sleeps by 8.30 or 9 pm.
10 pm (terjoin izma tido skali lak):
Wake up, clean izma’s bottles, my breastpump accessories, sterilize bottles, iron clothes for the next day, solat Isyak
11 pm:
Final breastpumping session for the day (if I’m rajin, I’ll have another bp session at around 2 ami which is very rare case ;p)
2 am:
Izma wakes up for her feeding session
4 am:
Another feeding session
Fuhhhh what a day! And night too! Waaa writing the routine also already tiring. Just imagine how tired I am going through this routine. Well, I guess that’s the price of being a mother. You asked for it in the first place right? Yup, I asked for it. And I’m actually loving every second of it :) but it’ll be so much easier if only hubby is around during weekdays :( it’s not that I can’t handle izma all by myself but I just pity her when she has to play with herself when I’m performing my prayers or when I have to run few things…sian die xde org layan…
Anyways that’s how it is for now. It is still manageable since I can just put izma anywhere without worrying her rolling over the bed as she’s still can’t move much. Wait until she can turn her body and rolling2 then I have to put some extra measures. Have to build pillow wall around her…huhu
Ok lah enough on that, now the second thing I want to share on Izma’s development so far:
Exactly at 4 months:
- Can turn herself at one side; had tried turn her full waist-down part body; sometimes managed to fully turn herself but one hand will still stuck under her body – can lift her head a little in this position but not for long :)
- Drink about 18 oz per day during the day – usually 11 to 12 oz from my milk and top up another 6 oz Enfalac – really hope can fully bf her :( it’s ok InsyaAllah ada rezeki can full bf her brothers and sisters later (erkk cam ramai je brotherS and sisterS ;p)
- Can recognizes familiar faces esp. my face as the main delicious milk supplier, her beloved ayah, her opah, her wan, atuk, mak su, cu…rasa pak ngah’s face dah lupa kut since dah almost 1 month tak jumpa…hehe
- Put everything in her hands into her mouth – if there’s nothing in her hands, she’ll put her hands in her mouth and her most favorite part is her thumb! Both thumbs…nyum2
- Will scream when left unattended for a long time; long time = 5 mins! Manja sungguh kene org layan all the time
- Smiles a lot! So cute!!!!! :))
- Very happy when someone changes her diaper
- Loveeeeee bath time!
will add some more if I remember anything else :)

1st anniversary 21st february 2010
This is an overdue update on our 1st anniversary but quoting on my favourite phrase 'better late than never' right :) hehe
Well not much update la actually on that big day due to our 'little' constraint to have a romantic candlelight dinner for just the 2 of us and catch a late night movie (i wish!).
But guess what? We got to do things better than that. Spend our very first anniversary with our bundle of joy!!! Who else, Miss Izma Humaira la. We had our 'candlelight' lunch @ TGIF Pavilion and walk2 with that little princess. Nice! I loike!
My MIL's remarks: Baru sambut sethn anniversary dah ada baby :)
Alhamdulillah :))
p/s: Erkk second anniversary hopefully don't have the second baby yet yer...hehe ;p

akikah on 7 feb 2010 update
Nothing much to update actually on the izma's akikah ceremony. A picture speaks a thousand words right? So let's have the pictures do the speaking ;p (sebenarnye so lazy to write long2 coz i'm using my hp ni blogging :p)
my pretty akikah dress bought by ayah dear...love it!!!
Izma managed to stay in that beautiful dress from around 11 am until 2 pm. Then a bit rimas2 so we changed her into another nice Lovely Lace dress. I don't have the piccas in my hp. Have to save from facebook later and put some here. We love love love the Lovely Lace dresses and ayah actually bought another 2 dresses after the kenduri...hihi later have to buy a few for raya as well :)

we're in JB y'all!!!
Yup2 we're currently in JB and yesterday was the longest journey for the lil' girl. Tak sampai 2 months old tapi dah jalan jauh2 ni. We managed to put her in her new green car seat (I loike!!!) for only 1 hour and for the rest of the trip, I'm her car seat (+ of course milk supplier ;p).
As for the first day here today, I think she's adapting to ayah's room here. Just the two of us when ayah goes to work. Luckily we brought along her 'mr. crab'...hehe that toy of her can keep her occupied for about 15 minutes, which leaves me enough time to take a shower...haha yeah2 i know 'mandi kambing' ;p. I'll get a proper shower once ayah is back ok!
izma playing with Mr Crab
Oh right now everyone is busy preparing for her kenduri akikah a.k.a. kenduri kawin izma bak kata wan dia...hihi :) n last saturday ayah bought her a beautiful dress for the ocsasion, complete with matching socks and headband. Very very nice and lovely. Must snap a lot of piccas next sunday :)
Ok2 she's getting cranky now. Can't write long2 one. Till next time y'all. Hopefully I can upload the akikah piccas for my next entry...

9 days to go!
Well, 9 days to go before I finish my 44-day confinement period. Can't wait! Want to go walk2 with my baby and hubby...yeay!
Btw the little girl is already 1 month and 4 days young :) Actually I want to write something on her 1st month birthday but she wouldn't let me off last Friday which was on 8th January. She was 'hanging' all day...hehe must be her growth spurt I think.
So 1 month update:
- she can smile when people keep talking2 to her :)
- she'll look at the direction when people call her name...her eyes will wander all around the room to look for the voice
- i think she can recognize her mama's voice :)
- will talk to other people cheerfully if people hold her and talk to her...but if with me it's always for the milk...hehe her mouth will look for the milk source everytime i hold her...i have no chance to talk2 to her for long time laa...milk always comes first :)
- she loves ayah's singing...walaupun lagu brutal2 pun layan jeee...hihi
Happy one month birthday sweetheart! Mama n ayah love you very very very much!!!!!
XOXOXO
