Finally...

Irfan was sooo happy bila dah boleh discharge. bila orang acah pun, he can smiles and loughs as usual. Alhamdulillah. so, kelmarin aku g kerja macam biasa, sebab my mum still ada kat rumah. boleh tolong jaga Irfan sat.

next week kena bawa Irfan g hosptal, follow up. hopefully everything will be ok.

yang memeningkan aku sekarang ni, next week nak kena hantar Irfan balik ke nursery. ye la, kat nursery tu, tau2 jela, if ada yang sakit, cepat je berjangkit. aku sekarang ni, if possible tak nak Irfan kena selsema balik. sangat nightmare. paed pun dah pesan. if Irfan selsema, kena cepat2 bagi ubat. tapi tula, ubat selsema ni is not so recomended for baby. hanya Allah saja yang tau betapa risaunya aku. i have no choice. mudah-mudahan Allah melindungi anak-anak aku. kalau ikutkan hati aku, nak je hantar balik kampung minta mak jaga sat. but then, aku still breastfeeding. stock susu pun ada berapa botol je. Irfan tak nak susu formula.

time2 cenggini, rasa jeoulous pulak bila tengok mummys out there whose not working or work from home. bilala aku nak jadi macam diorang....

5th day...

Alhamdulillah. tadi dah jumpa pakar telinga. telinga Irfan takde problem. risau jugak kelmarin bila paed suruh refer to pakar telinga.

time dokter tu check telinga Irfan, as always Irfan rilek jer. rasa syok kut. hehe. good boy:)

so, esok boleh discharge. Yeyyyyy!!! Alhamdulillah. aku pun dah tak sanggup duduk sini. dahla ada budak2 confirm H1N1 kat level ni. adehhh.. risau gila nih. ya Allah, selamatkanla kami anak beranak. Amin

tak sabarnya nak balik rumah esok. Irfan pun dah boring duduk dalam ni. serba tak kena dia.

lepas ni, if Irfan kena selsema je, kena cepat2 bagi ubat. if berlarutan takut berulang lak jangkitan kat telinga dia. ya Allah, mintak2 dijauhkan la...

3rd day...

hari ni hari ketiga aku berkampung kat sini.

perkembangan Irfan..Alhamdulillah. telinga dah takde nanah dah (nanah ker??)
tapi hidung still tersumbat..
so, doktor suruh nurse bagi ubat titik hidung pulak.

doktor cakap bukan infection actually. yang kuar kat telinga tu actually dari hidung. sebab selsema terlalu banyak. so, dia terus kuar ikut hidung. ya Allah. kesian anak mama.

mudah-mudahan semua selamat. paed cakap kena stay sini 5 days, complete antibiotic. 5 hari pun 5 harila doktor, janji my baby cepat sembuh....

2nd day...

hari ni hari kedua Irfan kat hospital. telinga Irfan ada lagi nanah. selsema pun ada jugak. Alhamdulillah la tak demam.

semoga aku dikuatkan semangat dan diberi kesihatan yang sempurna oleh-Nya untuk jaga Irfan. Irfan, cepat sembuh ok sayang. Amin

Irfan admitted...

actually, today we are supposed to have fun at Sedim waterfall, main2 air, enjoy2 dengan family. tapi terpaksa cancel plan sebab Irfan admitted.

aku memang dah rasa tak sedap hati semenjak dua menjak nih. itula instinct ibu2 ni kan. insyaAllah betul. since dua malam lepas, Irfan meragam sikit time malam. selalu Irfan tak macam tu. he's such a good boy and tak banyak kerenah. tidur pun nyenyak je. i thought it was due to his blocked nose, so susah sikit dia nak tido.

tapi pagi ni, i was really schocked. tiba2 ada nampak macam nanah kat telinga Irfan. ya Allah. hanya Allah saja la yang tau betapa terkejut dan panic nya aku. tapi, ibu2 ni walau apa pun, tak boleh panic. kena tenang. so, i've tried to stay calm.

cancel plan g picnic, terus cepat2 kitorang bawa g jumpa paed. time checked up tu, aku sangat control and tak mampu tanya banyak benda. sebab takut berderai air mata depan paed. walaupun dah bergenang dah time tu. paed said, kena infection. and agak bahaya. kena admit. admit pun admit la, janji Irfan ok.

so, ni aku tgh blogging kat hospital. Irfan tgh tido kat sebelah. dengan tangan berbalut kena cucuk untuk antibiotic drip:(

my dear Irfan, cepat sembuh ye. mama really miss your lough and smile. mudah-mudahan anak mama kembali sihat dan ceria.Amin

Susu naik harga!

eh! semua susu formula dah naik harga ke. Qistina minum susu ni, Step 3

dulu, susu Anmum yang 1.8 kg ni, tak sampai RM 60 pun, dalam RM 57 camtu. if offer, boleh dapat RM 52. kat carrefour selalu offer.

tapi kan, start a few weeks back, susu ni dah naik harga. melampau2 pulak tu. aku tgk kat tesco RM 67! carrefour pun sama gak. giler mahal. seb baik time tu stock ada lagi 3 tin, hasil borong kat carrefour time offer.

so tadi, kitorang g giant pulak, dengan harapan dapat murah sikit. Alhamdulillah. bolehlaaaaa... RM 59. tu pun kira offer. aku pun angkatla 2 tin.

tak taula susu lain naik tak harga. nak naik pun, man man la kan. ini sampai sepuluh ringgit naik, apa cite.

Veggie lovers!

All parents know that it’s crucial for vegetables to play a starring role in our child’s meals. but, it's either our child love it or scream at it when they see a glance of it in their meal. if they love it, then we are lucky la kan. the problem comes if they hate it, and we have to crack our head to think the strategy to get them on the veggie track for life. hari2 kena pk strategy untuk anak2 kan. hehehe. nvm, that's the joy of parenthood! let's cherish every single moment.

back to the veggie story, Alhamdulillah, mama tak perlu pening2, Qistina is a big fan of veggies. good girl! aku pun suka gak makan veggies ni, but i will pick only those yang tak pahit. ulam ulaman sah2 tolak tepi. qistina, i'm not sure whether she's also a picky one, but i hope not. so far, aku tgk dia suuuuuka sangat brocolli, cauliflower, carrot, sawi, bayam, potato (potato sayur ke.hehehe). tomato pun ok gak, sebab aku selalu letak dalam macaroni.

since Qis having no problem with veggies, so aku tak payah nak creative hias2 bagai. senang keja. masak sayur simple je, pun habis sepinggan Qis makan. tak caya, tgk nih.....

simple kan. senang dimasak sodap dimakan. ni Qis punya favourite nih. by the way, sebelah tu ubat batuk Qis. Qis baru je baik batuk

seb baik dulu aku selalu masak bubur kat Qis. kira bubur tu at least kena ada satu jenis sayur la. nestum or other baby food yang dalam tin2 tu memang qis tak layan punya. maybe sebab tu dia takde masalah nak makan sayur kut. so, sekarang ni, aku tgh train Irfan pulak, so far so good. good boy! hopefully both anak mama suka makan sayur ye sampai bila2.

so, korang if baby yang still kecik2 tu, mungkin boleh start train siap2. so senang keja kita di kemudian hari. hehehe. but for those yang ada problem tu, the following tips might help:

1. Set a good example - so, mak2 and ayah2 semua, jom kita makan sayur ramai2. just make a simple rule, one day at least one veggie. aku pun tgh try buat macam tu. kantoi gak kekadang. paling koman pun, if out of stock, mix veggie pun ok gak kan. goreng ngan telur ke

2. Take it easy. “Pushing your child to eat vegetables almost always backfires,” - tak payah nak paksa2. it will make it even worse, nanti terus dia tak suka langsung. if dia nak luah, biarkan aje. kadang2 qis pun ada luah2 gak. ikut mood jugak mek nih:) just keep trying everyday. bila dah lama2 nanti, dia tgk benda tu sentiasa ada dalam pinggan dia, dia pun makan jugak nanti

3. Keep it simple - hehe.. yang ni aku suka. sebab aku ni tak creative bab2 masak nih

4. Get your kids involved - try to create excitement time makan tu. like main pilih2 calour ke (veggies ni kan colourful), main teka2 nama veggies tu ke. apa2 la, yang nampak seronok for your child. this one works for Qis:)

marilah sama2 kita berusaha ye to create healthy eating habits....

recovery at 4th day...

mama dah risau dah if Irfan tak ok lagi, since mama ada workshop at Eastin Hotel for 2 days. takboleh nak cancel. Alhamdulillah la, the measles almost gone. takde merah2 dah macam hari tu. mama pun dengan senang hati boleh pegi ke workshop tu..

so, activity weekend ni, snap gambar je la kejanya sebab kena berkurung dalam rumah:)

ok, posing maut sikit Irfan

mama! kakak and Elmo pulak

is that ur smily face Qistina?

Chickenpox or Measles???

it's measles!!! that's what my paed said when we met doctor yesterday. poor my little Irfan:(
i thought Irfan kena chicken pox. but he said, sort of since Measles and Chickenpox are in the same group.
after demam for a few days, naik bintik2 merah kat muka, followed by badan. seb baik bintik2 kecik je, like rashes..

Qis also kena this, but at that time, she was around 8 months already. it lasts for 3-4 days..

some infos copied from internet..

Chickenpox

This first appears looking like a little bug bite on your child’s belly, and is usually more annoying than harmful. Other symptoms include (in order of appearance):

•headaches
•loss of appetite
•mild fever
•itchy, fluid-filled bumps.

These may last for a week or so. Crusty scabs comprise the final stage and can last for up to two weeks before flaking off and being replaced by healthy, healed skin.

Because chickenpox is a viral infection, the use of natural immune enhancers can be used to fight it–unlike antibiotics, which have no effect against viruses. Many wholistic doctors don’t recommend the chickenpox (Varicella) vaccine, as we do not find it difficult to help children get through chickenpox without complications.

Measles

This is a highly contagious viral infection spread by respiratory secretions (e.g., coughs, runny nose). Symptoms include:

•runny nose
•eyes that redden and tear
•persistent cough
•red, bumpy rash (not itchy)
•fatigue and increasing fever
•blue-white spots on the inside of the mouth.

A case of the measles normally lasts about nine days. Complications such as respiratory tract and ear infections may occur, and in rare cases, brain inflammation and seizures. If your child develops shortness of breath, a fever over 38°C (100°F), convulsions, severe stomach pain or vomiting, seek medical help immediately.

mudah-mudahan Irfan cepat sembuh.....

relax jap lepas makan ubat..

Irfan like always, senyum je...sangat baik anak mama nih:)

kakak pulak mengantuk sangat sampai tertido dalam keta on the way balik dari clinic, mama kena dukung dari kereta sampai ke rumah

Homemade baby food....

is all natural and healthy, so it's always the best for your baby. last time, i'll cook for Qis everyday, since the first day she started solid until the day i deliver Irfan. i'll wakeup around 5 a.m to cook, keep it in a thermal pot and then bring it to my babysitter. sounds penat kan, memang penat pun, but i enjoy doing that. rasa puas hati dapat masak sendiri...at least i know what she eats..

i've read a lot in internet and books on baby's food, until cik abang said i'm too strict and terlalu control about the food. bukan apa ye cik abang, ni untuk kebaikan anak kite jugak:) kecik lagi perut dia, so kenala jaga apa yang patut

actually i'm not a good cook (kan liza kan..hehe), but demi anak2, belajarla sikit2...bak kata my mother, lama2 pandaila tu...semangat2!

now Qis already 2 years old, so dah boleh makan macam2, mama pun dah tak masak untuk Qis. kat nursery tu, macam best je menu dia....hari2 tukar:)

so, sekarang ni turn Irfan pulak. but for Irfan, mama decided to prepare once in a week.meaning.....frozen la. senang sikit, jimat masa...efficient gitu. so mama already bought this at Tinytapir.

senang je guna nih. mama will bring 2 cubes of puree + 4 bottles of EBM to nursery. so far, they don't have problem to handle this. panaskan je dalam warmer..Irfan pun ok je...so far mama dah try puree carrot and pumpkin.both Irfan suka. macam Qis jugak dulu:) pasni, nak try macam2 lagi...best2

loooong time break

can't believe that i'm now a mummy to a sweet and adorable little gurl and a baby boy. my baby boy is almost 1 month now. means that my berkurung time will be ended soon. yeyyy! this time, my confinement time was a bit harder than last time. my dear baby was admitted for 2 times due to jaundice. Alhamdulillah, after trying all those petua2, but not makan2 one, now he's getting better. syukur Alhamdulillah.
i'm thinking to start taking all those jamu. maybe next week.my dear irfan... it's time for mama to struggle and work hard to get back the anak dara shape.hehe...
