Makwa is 86 today

I just realised i have written in a while.. Baru saja i wrote about capturing my thoughts and moments more! Tsk nani, TSK! In my defence things have been quite busy at the office.. I don't know why people seem to think that we who work at the office just sit on our bums and do nothing.. On a tough day, despite my sitting in front if my PC, i feel so tired that when i get home i usually sleep the same time as the kids does. I guess its mental exhaustion..

Syukur alhamdulillah my grandmother is 86 today.. We pray that Allah grant her a long and healthy life.. Amin amin amin..

I am currently expressing and it seems like i have the same pattern as my 2 other closest mummies and we tend to text each other while we do the deed.. Sometimes it feels like we are expressing together hahaha




Here is a picture of my EBMs for this week, so far.. I know this is probably a bad habit but i leave my EBM at the office fridge for the whole week and onky bring them back home on Friday afternoon.. Its quite convienent for me and so far no one have said a thing so i'll just keep on.. LOL

I have to attend a se,pminar in KB on Monday and i just realised i need a game plan for my mummy duties.. In the car or at the venue? Hmmmm must remember to bring pump back home for the weekend..

They grow up so fast!

It's 10th Feb 2012. The girls are both asleep and the hubs is out. I refused to switch on the TV and it's just me and my thoughts..
Nadia asked me this morning if I was going to work so I said no I am on leave and I told her next week I will go back to work. She then said to me 'Nadia sama Sofie tinggal arah Yadu?' I smiled and told her no she will stay here with Aunty Mar.. My maid is scheduled to return tomorrow morning.. I pray that all will go well and she will come back as planned.. Amin Amin..
It's been 3 days side we took Nadia for her haircut and I sometimes take a2nd look at her.. It baffles me how she is so grown up now! My friend says maybe she is all grown up because she is a big sister now.. Maybe.. She is turning 3 I'm a couple of weeks time and I can't wait for her to cut the birthday cake of her dreams!
I saw my second set of Freestyle and it reminded me that I have breastfed Sofiyya for 8 months now.. Maybe I should open the box and use the 2nd set now cos time flies so fast and what if I don't get to use the 2nd set, albeit it being my back up set! hahaha
They grow up so fast! I must enjoy these moments with them.. Must take more photos to capture the moments and write more to capture my thoughts.. Inshallah..

An afternoon at Starbucks

Nadia's first Haircut 8Feb2012

At 2 years and 10 months Nadia had her first haircut at Inspiration Hair Salon, the Mall. She sat in a toy car and watched Barney. And it cost us $12! (Gotta make sure we remember the details cause one day, if she is anything like me in my younger years she will be spending big bucks on her hair! LOL)

After!

Oh and before her haircut we had a late lunch at Swensens!



Group Hug!



Excited to eat her Sundae!



The girls and the Chipmunks!



Asleep in her stroller!

Playdate 6th Feb2012

We headed to Panaga Club for another playdate and this time Sofiyya came along too..!!




Playing at home with Nenek Boy. Nadia was one when she first played with this and Sofiyya is only 8 months! Tsk tsk!



We are in the process of car seat training her. Half of the time she would ask to be held.. I must preserver and keep on insisting that she stay in her seat..

Look at that happy baby!!



She clearly LOVES being in the water..



My babies and my Baby Daddy



And them in the car, tiduurrrrr... LOL

Mandi Berlawat & Majlis berzikir

We headed to Telisai on Sunday 5th Feb 2012 to attend TC's Mandi Berlawat and Mika & Mikayla's Majlis Berzikir..

(why do they call the event 'Mandi Berlawat' anyways? Was there an actual Mandi involved?)




Handsome Mika



Our very own Little Miss Katy Perry, Mikayla



Both babies were obedient at first but as the day grew older they both grew tired and started to be cranky. Hehehe



Us and our broods!

Cant wait to see the photos from the official photographer!

Natural and Easy?

I was reading one of the blogs that i have bookmarked and came across this article about challenges of breastfeeding and i could not agree more..! when you read in books they make it seem like breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world where the baby will instinctively seek for your nips and suckle.. and especially in the early days when we are tired (and hormotional), we (read: I) cant help but feel defeated when we (read: I) are not able to breastfeed.. I agree completely with the writer that new moms must preserver and get the support she needs from the right people..

Reading on i read how it is quite easy for her to breastfeed in public, now this is a feat that i still cannot do.. I think i am very conscious about this and the fact that Sofiyya now refuse to feed in public cause she will poke her head out and see what is going on, makes it even worse i guess.. So i end up feeding her in the car or bringing along some EBMs in the bottle. I guess it would also help if we have more mummy's room available at public places.. I wish Brunei has good, clean, non-smelly mommy's room like the ones they have in Parkson Miri cause the ones we have here are.... (i'll just leave it at that!!)
