2 Months Old Dinky Alif

Dinky Alif is now 2 months old. Yesterday Mr Vediaz and I brought Dinky Alif to the nearest Klinik Kesihatan to have him jab. He was due for the second dose of his immunization. During Dinky Aeisyah time, she had her jabs at Mr Vediaz panel clinic at Kerteh. Due to the heavy rain plus the awful condition of Chukai's bridge, baik lah tak payah pegi Kerteh. Sangkut jam.

Back to Dinky Alif, he is now weight at 5.4kg. 1 kilo more than Dinky Aeisyah when she was 2 months old. Adakah kerana Dinky Alif is a boy? Right now, Dinky Alif starts to make cooing sound. Kuat sangat geliat sampai Mr Vediaz selalu terjaga tengah malam sebab ingat dia terjaga or whatsoever. He sleeps well at night. Same during the confinement. Easy peasy nak jaga Dinky Alif. Maybe he is a breastfeed baby so he is less cranky. Dinky Aeisyah pun senang cuma she wide awake at 3 am and cried. Time tu first time parents kan, so tension lah. He loves being wrapped in my Moby Wrap starting from Maghrib till 10 or 11 at night. Yang ni sebab perut kembung. Bila wrap dia, confirm tido lentuk punyer. Macam mana lah nak kurangkan kembung baby ni yer?

Look At What I Have Won

Few months back, Ajasu of Mybreastpumpshop organized this giveaway. And guess what, I won one of the giveaways. Alhamdulillah.

My prize is a set of 3 Medela feeding bottles, including teats and one Quick Clean Micro-Steam Bag. Retail jer I rasa more than RM70. Tak sabar nak guna bag tu. 20 usage per bag. But from what I read in Babycentre forum, ada mommies yang guna more than 20 times. The prize came at the utmost right time. Skarang ni tengah buat stock giler-giler. So the free bottles really add to my collection of Bumblebee and Moms Precious.

Thanks a lot Aja! Pas bersalin nanti, bolehlah organize lagi yer!

Melaram Part 2

Remember this post? Well, this one is another version of Dinky Aeisyah when she has this 'melaram' thing!

Mr Vediaz's industrial spec.

Aloha!

Ohoo...beg ini...my emak gave Dinky Aeisyah this bag after she went berserk on something. To calm the 'amok' Dinky Aeisyah, my emak bribed her with this flowery pinky bag. She even brought the bag out. Look just how she carried the bag. Hahaha! Macam budak besar tapi baru 2 tahun.

I nak pergi pasar. Sesapa nak ikut :) !

90 oz...

Last week, went back to Bangi. 4 hari jugak. While I was at my MIL's, I tried to pump after several feedings tapi takdelah jakun bebenor macam kat rumah sendiri kan ;). Dapatlah dalam 14 oz. Masa labelling each bottle with date and time, SIL and anak sedara Mr Vediaz pun ada tanya I nak buat apa tu. Kat SIL bagitau bila dah label senang tau bila susu dah expired. Kat anak sedara siap explain yang susu tu untuk stok kat nursery sebab nak BF exclusively kononnyer! Sampai Kemaman dah pukul 1 pagi. Mr Vediaz masuk rumah, switch on lampu tak nyala. Tersentap jugak lah suami sebab mengenangkan susu dalam freezer. Bila di informkan the house was tripp...I was like stone ajelah. Got nothing to say dah.

Thawed breast milk. Still ok, but cannot be frozen anymore. Everything had to go down the drain...

Washed all the bottles that very night.

This is my stock level sheet. Took it from Jazzmint site.

Right now, I start stocking up from 14 oz that I pumped at MIL's house. For the past 10 days, target orang is 8 oz to 10 oz a day. Ambitious nyer but I have to what I have to do.

It's been a while tak update blog nih. Seen above is Dinky Aeisyah, posing with my sister's 'cheapo' sunglasses. She accidentally found the spec in my sister's Kenari and couldn't let her hands off :).

Kejap-kejap, tengok cermin, checking herself out. Masuk toilet pun pakai spec. When she was having her tea at the kitchen, she took off spec, drink tea, wear spec, took off spec, drink tea again.

My sister managed to hide her spec but Dinky Aeisyah found my emak's sunglasses pulak. Such a POSER!

Busy...

Eventhough I'm on confinement, I'm busy juggling with two kiddos and establishing milk supply. With Dinky Aeisyah, she was mixed feeding due to lack of knowledge. I thought that breastfeeding was a natural thing. Boy was I wrong! It was a bumpy road, but I managed to maintain the supply for her up till she was 8 months old.

With Dinky Alif, I'm fully prepared. The first nursing wasn't easy because I coudn't move. Few well meaning relatives suggested that I took it slow so that I could recuperate after the surgery. I buat donno jerk :). Dinky Alif is now on exclusive feeding with breastmilk. He is gaining well and his jaundice is clearing out.

Right now, I'm busy calibrating my supply. I'm pumping after few feeds including the night feeds. Letihnyer...but it's part of the plan.

Ah Naa!

Ah Naa (Mak Naa @ Kak Naa) is Dinky Aeisyah's auntie and she is is my sister, the fourth one among my siblings. She was borne normal but due to an accident, she suffered a brain trauma that makes her a special child. She is straightforward, loves shopping, sightseeing and all childish.

Me : Kak Naa, ajak Aeisyah pergi dapur amik roti.
Kak Naa : (Buat donno jer)
Me : Cakap dengan Aeisyah, jom pergi dapur amik roti.
Kak Naa : (No respon)
Dinky Aeisyah : Ah Naa! Jom apur! Oti! (excited tone)

Alahai...
