5th Hypnobirth Class with Nadine Ghows

The final class with Nadine is finally here. And ironically, we arrived late. Sigh. When we arrived, Nadine already started the class with birth video. You know, when I entered the house and knowing that this will be the last class for us, make me feels gloomy. Because I love all the classes, get to learn about my body, the baby's ability and also the beauty about birth itself.

4th Hypnobirth Class with Nadine Ghows

4th class with Nadine was the most emotional class I've attended so far. I was surprised with my own self too for crying during the class. Without me realizing it, I am currently struggling with my own self in making the best decision for me and the baby.

3rd Hypnobirth Class with Nadine Ghows

Our 3rd class with Nadine is the class that I've been waiting for. We've discussed on the mind and physical/body preparation for the birth day. This topic has strengthened my belief that early preparation including physical movements and mentally readiness throughout pregnancy has a strong correlation with the birth process itself.

2nd Hypnobirth Class with Nadine Ghows

Following my 1st hypnobirth class with Nadine last Sunday (1st May 2016), I was so excited and looked forward for the 2nd class. Since I left the 1st class, I've been reading the Hypnobirthing book; the Mongan Method as recommended. And as I kept reading, my strong inner state was telling me, 'this is totally what I've been wanting for my birth'. I want a very calm, joyful and loving entrance for my baby. Birth should be an unforgettable moment, beautifully expressed and surrounded with wonderful people.

1st Hypnobirth Class with Nadine Ghows

Experiencing my 3rd pregnancy is not an excuse for me to have the high level of anxiety and fear of giving birth. Giving birth is not only about breathe the baby out but my main concern is to ensure that the baby is safe and healthy and as for the mother (me lah tu), the birth experience should be gentle and with no / at least minimal traumatic incidents.

Happy 1st Birthday Aisha! Her 1 year Journey.

Assalammualaikum

As some of you may know, we have such a joyful family moment when Aisha turns 1 year old. It's cliche to say that I can still feel the pain or it feels like yesterday when we were in the labour room waiting for her arrival. But, they are all true. Even when she turns 2, 3 or 20, I might say the same thing.

Jadi ibu je, bukan Pelumba..

Assalammualaikum~~~

Seringkali isu 'motherhood contest' dibangkitkan. Terutamanya buat ibu-ibu baru. Tentunya saya tak terkecuali dengan situasi macam ni, samada secara langsung atau pun tak.

Mengecewakan bila situasi macam ni berlaku. Kalau dulu.. Zaman nenek dan mak kita, motherhood contest ni kita boleh dengar kalau berjumpa time raya ke, family gathering ke, berkunjung ke rumah orang ke.. Ibaratnya tak lah hari-hari pun terkesan dengan hal macam ni..

Tapi~~~

Sekarang ni, facebook, instagram, twitter dan segala social media network penuh dengan situasi motherhood contest ni.. termasuklah bila ber'gathering'. We can't change what people wants to say or think. But, we can just be a MOTHER..

Ke Krabi. In flight dengan babies..

Assalammualaikum

Percutian melibatkan anak-anak selalunya mencabar. That was what I heard before we went to Krabi! Dalam hati, I am being denial and assured that the kids will behave as what and how I am thinking they will and surprisingly, they are!

Anyway, saya, family & kawan-kawan bercuti ke Krabi masa cuti hari pekerja 1 Mei haritu. Subhanallah, cantiknya Krabi dan nak pergi lagi kalau ada rezeki. Tapi saya nak cerita perihal kami anak-beranak dalam flight. Such an interesting experience since this is the babies' first time in flight. Eh, bukan dorang je.. Husband pun first time!! Hahaha.

why so serious????

Kenapa si dia tak tolong jaga anak-anak

Assalammualaikum.

Rasa stress tak bila orang lain semua cerita perihal si dia yang rajin babysitting anak-anak, dan dorang boleh luangkan masa bersendirian kat shopping mall atau cafe tapi tidak kita? Saya share sikit harini, nape si dia tak nak tolong jaga anak-anak.

Tips ambil gambar babies

Assalammualaikum.

Ambil gambar budak-budak memang sangat addictive. I mean, even professional photographers do like taking pictures of newborn and children. However, capturing them in great moment always and will forever be a challenge. But mommies, not to worry, challenge accepted!!

But yes! Akan sentiasa ada teknik dan tips nak ambil gambar budak-budak ni. Mana kan tidak, setiap 1 saat, daripada tadi senyum, tiba-tiba dah menangis, daripada meniarap dah terlentang. Fuhhh!!

Oleh tu, jom kita ramai-ramai cuba tips ni, dan dapatkan moment terbaik mereka..

PAKAIKAN BAJU SMART-CANTIK SENTIASA

Tak kira lah hari tersebut akan duduk kat rumah seharian atau akan keluar berjalan-jalan, pakaikan saja baju yang bergaya dan cantik. Sebab bila dah pakai baju cantik ni, senang, datang je moment tu, terus snap!

KENAL PASTI WAKTU-WAKTU MOOD 'BAIK'

Budak-budak sentiasa dengan mood swing dia. Tapi akan sentiasa ada saat yang mereka akan relax dan menggembirakan hati. Contohnya bila bangun dari tidur atau selepas makan ataupun selepas mandi. Bila mereka senang hati, senang nak get into the mood, time tu, terus snap!

SENTIASA ADA PORTABLE MAINAN 

Toys boleh daripada yang ada music atau yang berwarna-warni atau kombinasi keduanya. Mulakan dulu sesi bersama mainan, sampai lah fokus mereka tertumpu pada mainan tu. Pastikan bawa je kemana-mana mainan, sebab bila sampai je fokus budak-budak ni, terus snap!

KAMERA KENA ADA DI MANA-MANA

Jangan lah sesekali kamera tertinggal atas meja ke dapur ke dalam kereta ke. Kat mana sahaja, bawa! Sebab, kat mana-mana pun boleh terus snap! 

Haaa.. Senang tak? 4 tips mudah ni je saya selalu buat bila nak ambil gambar Irfan & Aisha. Antaranya, sesi 'pengambaran' hari Ahad haritu.. Hihi..

SELAMAT MENCUBA!!

Tak boleh 'brain' benda macam ni.

Assalammualaikum.

While preparing Aisha's milk earlier this morning, scrolling my instagram timeline, I saw a post from Nora Danish (below picture). You see.. Anything or everything that someone post about children just make my heart pounding hard. I just know, this must be about....

Child abuse!

I can't imagine how could someone become so violent towards that tiny-cute little baby. Come on people! Look at their eyes, and see them through your heart, you can only see happiness. Don't you?

Please friends, family, relatives or whoever reading this. Have a heart towards children. If you don't have one, develop one. They don't deserve to have bruises, bleeding nose or whatever more inhumanity acts. 

Please.. Don't do this to them.. Please..

She is 4 months old today. Let's see where she is now..

Assalammualaikum.

Time flies so fast! I still can feel the excitement and of course the pain in labour. And today Aisha is 4 months old. And of course, I have been taking lots of pictures and videos of her because I believe that the way she looks and acts today will be very different tomorrow, next week, and next month. 

So.. How is she doing today?

She now moves a lot more than before. She loves to do cycling movement with her legs and her kicks are quite hard at times. She has started to roll over from her back to her front and lift her head at her 3 months (we cheered during her first roll over). And today, since she is now expert at that, she will do it every time we put her down (it is challenging nowadays to put her on cloth because she always wants to roll over. sigh!)

She will put everything that is in her hand into her mouth, (especially Embun, her favourite teddy). Otherwise, since we don't give her a pacifier, she will put both of her hands into her mouth. She can laugh and giggle, of course! The funny part is that she will start babbling before she falls asleep. She will make a sound like "aahh.. gaaahh.." and anyone that is holding her at that time must respond to her, only then she can sleep happily. Hahaha!

Sooo cute isn't she? 

gambar ni masa Aisha berjaya roll over untuk kali ke 3, a month ago.

hiks.

His recent emotional development that caught our attention

Assalammualaikum.

Still remember my beautifully written story of our child from heaven, Irfan? "Muhammad Irfan, a story of a beautiful boy of us.." Just a quick recap for those who still do not know of his health condition, Irfan was first diagnosed with microcephaly (a rare neurological condition in which an infant's head is significantly smaller than the heads of other children of the same age of his). After a year, he was then confirmed with lissencephaly (which his brain does not fold properly, a cause of having microcephaly). And so, because of the condition, his growth development is delayed, including his emotional development. 

But! Just recently, he has been showing reactions towards voices which we believe that his emotions has developed and ready to show them off!! Honestly, I am very thrilled with his new development! Why not?? It's huge!! Betul tak?? 

Seeing him smiling and giggle is considered now as a norm. He can already smile and giggle since a year ago. But for the past few days, he started to show how sad he is when we raised our voices. Take note please, we did not shout at him or shout towards one another. It was just during that particular time, my husband was calling for me from the toilet (and I was at the living room) with a loud voice while holding him. Ya Allah. He made that very funny sad face, and a second after he started crying, loud one! Haha! And it has happened 3 times. 

From that incident, we never raised our voices anymore. Because looking at him with that sad face really touched my heart. I just don't want him to feel sad, not anymore. At the same time, I am so happy to witness the progress.
