Working Mom

Assalamualaikum dear readers...

Well..despite all my busy life, I try so hard to write this. At least, after 5 months..phew~

My baby is almost 7 months old now. Yeah I know, time is running fast right? She has her first teeth before reaching 5 months old! Now, she already has 8 teeth... I think it is quite a lot for a 7 months old pumpkin. It just that I must give my maximum ability as a mom to keep her teeth clean and perfectly sparkling healthy and shining white. <ewahh>

So, talking about being a working mommy, I think I just need a really "superpower" to make everything done. Even though in normal days, my life just being chaotic! Everything was upside down in my head...sometimes, I forgot what day was that day...urghh...
But I'm really grateful for having such a nice and understanding (plus handsome and good looking... ;P) husband. He always help me with the house chores...and sometimes looks after our baby while I'm doing my "personal business" (you know what I mean)

But, the most important thing is being a mother teaches me to be patient, be the best person I can be, and so much more positive things. But most of all, it taught me to love unconditionally...because a mother's love is eternity.


That's all for now.
Hope to see you soon.

First Time Mom

Assalamualaikum to all beloved readers. How are you today? Well...Qaisara is 3 months old!! (excited mommy)Giving birth was the most amazing thing that happened (it was like a miracle) despite all the pains (it was “unimaginable” until I experience it myself!!) I’ve been going through. 20 bones getting fractured at the same time! Can you imagine?? No, right? Masha Allah…all I did was praying for forgiveness and mercy from Allah…and istighfar. That was what kept me going (before I asked the nurse to give me the painkiller but then, it was too late)…but, I feel glad not to have that painkiller.Actually, I started to feel the contraction on 13th October 2015 (38 weeks 6 days) when I woke up in the morning...but I didn’t really know if that was a real contraction or just “Braxton Hicks”. I just felt my tummy was not as comfortable as usual, so I just told my parents to go to the hospital (before it was too late). I called my husband who was in Sabah, working as usual. As a first time father to be, he started to worry (really worried and it showed by texting me every two minutes) about me and keep asking whether I want him to be back ‘NOW’ because he had his flight ticket on 14th October at 5.20 p.m…it was 1 Muharram. But i told him i was just fine and he really have to not so worry about me. 
We (me with my parents) arrived at the hospital at about 11.30 a.m. I met many pupils with the same situation as mine…at the bilik pemeriksaan, we need to wait for quite a moment because many mommy-to-be were queuing to be checked by the MA and the doctors were “limited edition” (you know what I mean).While waiting and waiting…and waiting, I made lots of new friends ;) –hahahh...it was decreasing the pain for a while as we chat and talk about giving birth experiences à I was the one who asked lots of questions because it was my first time and I know nothing!
After being checked, the opening was just 3cm…so I was admitted for a night. I thought that night was the time, but still not. I just felt the contractions became stronger and stronger until morning.
That 14th October 2015 morning, i had my breakfast as usual and the nurse put some vitamins in a small saucer beside the breakfast tray. I just ate them all without asking anything because i was in a lot of pain. Actually, it was the regular multivitamins from the hospital that i couldn't eat that or else it will make me fells dizzy and vomiting. Unfortunately, it was too late.

I was pushed on a wheel chair into the labour room with my mum by my side (because husband's flight at 5.20 pm remember) about 2.00 p.m. Each and every time i had my contractions, i was vomiting at the same time…and all I can do was just pray for mercy from Allah and zikir all the time. And after a while…it was time to the “push” thing. I was just followed the nurses’ instructions. Even though I had attended an antenatal class for asthma and they taught me breathing method during labour, but when there was the time, I forgot to breathe! I forgot everything! Luckily I have my beloved mum by my side who kept giving me moral supports…thank you ma…I love you so much.
The next thing happened was at about 6.17 p.m. It was 14th October 2015, which was 1 Muharram 1437 H, my darling little princess was born. She weigh 3.2 kg. The moment I saw my baby, I could see my husband in her…she was so into her abah…so so sooooo into her abah…and I was a proud mommy.

This is my baby girl minutes after she was born...

This is her now. Look at that smirking face...don't grow up so fast baby!

She is the best gift from Allah to us. I pray to Allah to give us strength to raise her and to be the best parents to her. And may Allah bless her for the rest of her life. Be a good girl, be kind, be a role model to your siblings, be an anak solehah ye sayang. Abah and momma love you so much!!
I hope one fine day, when Qaisara could read and understand, she will read this and I hope she will not feel bored while reading it...haha.
That’s all…see you!
XO!

Biggest Gift Ever

Assalamualaikum and happy new year ppl! (It's still January..so consider its not too late)
Remember the 'bitter sweet' honeymoon? Haha..that was a year ago..and why was that bitter? Actually, it was the sweetest thing happened because i got my greatest gift from Allah..yes, I was about 3 weeks pregnant when we go for our so-called-honeymoon last year..

The holiday was great..but it was me who made it bitter. I had my morning sickness (read: all day sickness) during that time. I was vomitting all the time..moreover, the journey.....well you know..we went there by car. So it took hours in the car..and the feeling was..urghhh..

Haha..that was a year ago. I'm so glad I made it though it was a very tough journey of my pregnancy world. Well, being away from family, facing difficulties in finding food that my throat can accept and many more such dramas..luckily i have the greatest husband in the world who supports me and always be by my side..subhanallah..alhamdulillah.
Now, i am a mother of the cutest baby girl in the world..(a bit bias here..but forgive me, I'm her mom)
We name her ..
Qaisara Nur Munawirah
It means --kesenangan/permaisuri cahaya bergemerlapan
I pray to Allah to give her all His blessings, be a good muslimah and may her life will be full of happines and glory..just as her name. Amin.
Momma and abah love you so much baby girl!
Well, I'm glad to share my own experience of giving birth in my next post.
So that's all for now.
Till then,
XO!
