Happy 32 months Nadia

Dear Nadia,

Happy 32 months my darling daughter..

Last month's letter was an unhappy one.. The day started of like that as well.. You kept on saying no and not listening to what we said, even when all we aske you to do was say Thank You. I had had it, and mind you this was before 8.30am so i placed you in my car and threathen to send and leave you at the beach unless you say 'Thank you'.. It took about 15mins and you finally said it.. I had no chooce but to be stern.. Let this morning be a lesson to you and please remember to always listen to what mummy and daddy says cos otherwise mummy will be upset..

We noticed recently you are back to refusing your meals.. So we decided to take you to your new favorite place to eat, Jolibee! Alhamdulillah you finished 8/10 of the Chicken Joy meal all by yourself.. But darling please jgn everyday ok.. On a daily basis pls take our normal meals ok..

We celebrated kaka momoi's birthday recently and we are very glad and happy to see that you enjoyed the bouncer and pool.. You have started to think about your next birthday party and ypu told us you want a pink princess cake and you want a pink princess outfit..!! Insyallah my love, pray that Allah bless us with more rezeki..

Ok my little princess.. I have to go.. Be a good good girl ok.. Mummy, Daddy & Sofiyya loves you so very very much..

xoxo,
Mummy

Short and busy week

My week started with taking my dad for his pre-op appointment at the eye clinic on monday..












Dad during one of his exams.. Insyallah he will undergo his operation mid-december.. Given that the review takes up half a day (mostly waitinggg), i decided to take the whole day off..

We also sent my car to the workshop..










Hubs went to surau kg bebuloh to welcome his uncle who just got back from Haj that evening..









Tuesday started with a meeting that takes up half of the day and the afternoon was spent in front of my PC working on the budget.. Hubs went to his friends' house in the evening to welcome him who also just got back from Haj..









And we took the girls to the tailors to get thier measurements in te afternoon.. It was sofie's first time.. Hehehe







Wednesday was spent in meetings again and in front of the PC! And in the evening Dia & I went to pick hubs at Geotrax in lumut! For the first time we both went out and no whinning on the way..!! Weheeeee.....!

Thursday was spent in a meeting the whole day but on the bright side my car was finally ready to be picked up!






I was such a happy bunny!!

And today was spent hunched in front of my PC, again.. And i Finally had lunch outside the office with ze ladies..










I have been very bad in terms of expressing.. Because i was in a meeting i had no choice but to express at lunch time and only when i got home.. *sigh*

I will be in training on Monday and Tuesday and when my colleague called the venue to ask if there were any rooms available for me to use for my mummy's business they said none.. Found it a bit odd considering it is a hotel! I'll ask again on Monday and if no rooms i'll have to resort to expressing in my car.. Huhuhu i must remember to pack my nursing cover and freeze my technice sheets! If it is not properly frozen it wont work as well..

I am now in bed and looking forward to a relaxing weekend..

Planning excites me

..be it for a party, or a road trip, a holiday or even a weekend.. Planning excites me!

Sofie will turn 6 months at the end of this month and that is such a big milestone! She will then be able to use the walker and morw importantly we will introduce other food to her, Solids!!! So I have been thinking about what to give her.. Back when it was nadia, she had her first solids at 4months and she had rice cerelac.. I'm thinking of giving Sofie some purees, maybe butternut squash, yam, sweet potato and carrots. Not all together of course..! I intend to give her one type per week so that way we will be able to pinpoint whatever she is allergic to, if any and what she likes the most.. I however must do more research on batch making and storing them as I dont think my maid will be able to make purees.. It'll make life easier for her as well if i just make them in a batch and she can simply pop them in the microwave when is time to feed my little darling..




My happy baby enjoying her new jumperoo..!!

We have also been digging in Dia's old clothes and was so surprised to see that Sofie is able to wear something that Dia wore when she was about 1!!




I think i am very close to loosing track of how many EBMs i have.. Huhuhu

Life is so different..

I had a reflection moment a couple of nights ago on how my life has drastically changed eversince i had Nadia.. Of course when we first found out i was preggors we were beyond excited!! Knowing me i had to immediately think of logistics and things to prepare.. The number of things to buy was overwhelming and alhamdulillah we managed to stick to the list. When i was done with the preparations, i started to think about labor but i told myself 'I'll deal with it when i comes' and choose to brush it off..

At one point i remember feeling very scared.. I was scared that i will become a bad mother or being the clumsy self that i am i was sacred thati will drop my child on its head. I was scared that i will not be able to breastfeed. But mostly i was scared of what type of mom i would be. I thought i would become the overly possesive and controlling mum that would lose my footing and give in each time my child throws a tantrum..

My journey as a mom has been.. Okay.. (I think!! Haha) i guess what i am trying to say to new mums out there, its ok to feel scared.. Its ok to think 'can i do this?'.. Its perfectly normal i think..

What's important, especially at the begining is the support system.. I had my mum, my SILs, my aunts, my cousins and my husband as my support system and they were fantastic!! At the very begining when we first got home when i was not as mobile, they would help me bathe Nadia, wash bottles and pumps, etc.. The key is to know when to ask for help.. And i guess its also knowing not to step over the line.. Haha

Ok i'm rambling!! Have a great weekend everyone!!

Our Aidil Adha 2011

Its that time of the year again and this time around my mum and grandmother decided to participate in the ibadah korban.. So off we went to the mosque to witness and help out.. We also brought Nadia along..

We thought she will be scared but she was instead very curious.. Asked tons of question and some i had to really think how i want to answer..

Sofie asleep in the car..

As you can see it has been a busy busy weekend and time very well spent with the family..

However i have not done a couple of errands i promised myself i would do! And on the BFing side we have been giving Sofie EBMs and I have not been replenishing.. So i must get off my bum and be good..!!
