Hopefully there are lots of baby's books.

Can't wait!!

HnyB's 1st Road Trip to Kedah!

7.30 am, Saturday, we headed up north. The mission is to visit Uncle at Hosp Sultnh Bhyah, Alor Star. He's been warded for 2 weeks already. I'm too lazy for words, so let's the pictures do the talking.

The driver ;)

The happy baby in her carseat. She really loves stravelling, just like Mummy.

Arrived at the brand new hospital around 12.30pm. Seriously, it looks like a private hospital. The 1st class ward is as big as my room in PCMC, with TV and all. (ke aku jakun?)

Look at sawah padi view from the ward (lobby). Marvelous isn't it? Patients sure tenang je tgk sawah padi hari2.

Close up.

Jakun 2: Uncle's room is opposite to the Royal Ward (pic: entrance to RW). Pintu RW tu automatik wa cakap lu.

Nope, no one is 'gering' in the Royal Ward.

We stayed til 4.30pm, then started our journey to Opah's house in Sitiawan with Opah. Oh ha, we met Opah at the hospital. She has arrived earlier from Sitiawan with PakTeh.

Mission Posibble Started.
Mr J and I mengidam nak rase Radix Fried Chicken.
The first branch in Malaysia is in Sg Petani.
Mr J called his friend for direction.
Keluar exit Sg Petani(U). Turn left. Go straight until 3rd traffic light, u'll see deretan kedai ahead of you on your right - RFC is there. But you have to go straight to 4th traffic light, then only turn right. (Sampai sekarang boleh ingat) Don't be fooled with a red sign to Radix Chicken Rice before the 1st traffic light, we want RFC, not RCR. That's the mission. Heh.

Guest what? O.r.a.n.g.r.a.m.a.i.g.i.l.e.r. Nak duduk pun kene tungu org habis makan. Meja full! I have to queue for half an hour baru dapat order. But that made me more teruja to buy it coz people come and go like it's the last day of RFC operation. HohOhOho.

Lepas stgh jam menunggu, lg la terase sedapnyeh makan ayam goreng RFC. Menjilat jari! Seriously up to my expectation and since MrJ and I dah lame boycott KFC, it was a sweet revenge. Makan x hingat dunia. Siap order extra bawak balik Perak.

My snack Plate or RFC Chicken Delight Set A. The chicken is in Original Recipe or RFC Herb Chicken. MrJ makan Spicy chicken. They are as crispy as KFC. Try it first, then you'll know.

Bekal utk pengubat kempunan. WHoAaa, puas hati den!

Nadirah, otw balik dr RFC. Pity girl, you can't taste the scrumptious chicken yet. Neymind, you still can taste it tru Mummy's special edition RFC milk aight? :-)

Ahh, bliss. Alhamdulillah.

Nadirah...

Aaaahh. Alas, ade gak mase nak update japs. Life is pretty hectic these days. Last weekend, the 3 of us went to makan Mee Udang Sabah specially made by the super-talented-chef-and-heavily-pregnant-momma, K Zaidah, SIL to hubby. Menjilat jari! Tak rugi tunggu sampai ke ptg baru drg sampai. She cook the meal at her house and bring it over to K wati's where MIL and the rest of us were waiting patiently.

Nadirah and Liyana. See, she's staring the lady-bird. She even talks to the lady bird.

Nadirah? At first she was busy entertaining herself on the playmat with baby Liyana, K wati's youngest daughter. Then tangan dy dah terkepak-kepak and menampar anak tuan rumah yg sedang baring di sebelah. Liyana dah la muke innocent je, and 2 months older than Nadirah, but Nadirah definitely more 'vocal' (singing baby carol whenever she feels like it) and more brutal. Ahhh, anak mummy betol! Anyway, she now can focus and concentrate on any striking/colourful hanging objects. Be it toys, langsir, towel or anything, she just stares! I still can remember Lana's remark to me long time ago (ntah biler aku x ingat) - "Azi3, ko stare org obvious giler! Ko mmg kena pakai sunglass besar mcm mummy aku!" Haha. Ha, nadirah skrg suke sembang and tersengih-sengih buat muke comel dy masya-Allah :-) Mummy always remember Nadirah's smile and missing every moment of it :-(

Staring mama-parrot. Bought this well b4 her delivery from Mom's Care.

Her new bundle of joy, mama-parrot. B4 2 mo, she loved seeing the parrot's red bum and the black and white design at the back, now she loves anything striking.

Monday was my first day driving to work and I didn't really like it. Dah biasa tido dalam LRT, skalik biler drive x leh tido ni yg payah sikit ni. Hoho. I guess I wont be driving to work every single day, as a start prolly alternate days. Tgh nak biase tido x tentu mase dulu with nadirah, then adapt to bukak mata between 7-8am travelling to work. Normally, my eyes are wide shut on LRT.

Ha, Nadirah many times refuses to drink from her bottle. I was a bit 's' out at first. Monday normally the worst. She feeds directly from the source over the weekend, so Monday is never a good day for the babysitter. Bertempur Nadirah dgn ibu nak bagi susu. Aduhh. So when I arrived around 6.45pm to fetch her, her eyes were wide open waiting for Mummy the milk factory. And she doesn't like frozen EBM. Totally hates it. Sheessh. Memilih juga anakku ini. Ye la, kite pun suke fresh milk, baby pun pandai jugak la suke yg sedap2 aje. huhuhu.

Abi balik today, huyeahhhh!

Missing You Mode

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for"

Love you Nadirah :*

Abi balik cepat!! Nadirah and Mummy missing you already!

S.O.S

Got (enuff) milk?

Scenario 1:
I send off Ndrh to babysitter's (Kak Mai) house at 6.30 am daily and pick her up close to 7pm. I noticed that her drinking habit has changed since beginning of the week. She drinks nearly 20 oz daily (previously just 15 oz) for the span of 12 hours. That is A LOT! Yesterday was even more, 22 oz coz Mummy reached home later than usual and only managed to see her after Magrib. Soon she saw me coming, she started to cry coz she was super hungry and the milk I supplied were not enuff. Anyhow, K Mai told me that she sometimes just wanna suck the teat and spill out most of the milk instead of gulping all down the throat.

I suspect that she needs a pacifier when I'm not around. My verdict is, she doesn't drink as much as 20 oz; prolly just 15 oz at most; and the balance is just to wet her tongue and clothes.

Scenario 2:
I prefer to pump less but gain more. For example, since I started working last week, I just pump twice = 20 oz during office hour. One in the morning and another late afternoon. 15 oz is for instant consumption (day after) and another 5oz I keep as frozen stock. Normally, I will leave 20 oz to babysitter, 15oz (production hari sebelum) + 5oz (frozen). Yesterday K Mai told me that I need to prepare at least 25oz for Nadirah, just in case I arrived late like before. Mana mau cari lagi 5oz? My frozen stock is running low.

How to increase milk production eh? I am quite happy with 20 oz daily, twice pumping session. The only way is to pump at night to get another top up of 5oz and balik Sitiawan and bring back all the frozen EBM (around 150 oz) which will only last for a month or so.

To do:
1. Amik cuti next week balik Perak.
2. Beli cooler bag with wheels from Momslittleones.com. Not to forget ice pack. More $$$ needed
3. Pump before tido - slim chance, normally dah tertido with Nadirah without even sempat gosok gigi.
4. Drink lots of soya?

Anything for dearest HnyB, IAllah.. :*
