Day 14

Syukur alhamdulillah 14 days of Ramadhan and I have not broken my streak of fasts. Lets hope streak will last till day 29/30. hehe I am so glad it is Friday today and we finish work at 11.30am.. It has been a tough week, especially yesterday! I had a meeting from 1 and only ended at 3.30pm! Pandai wah drg ani set meeting.. Grrr!

Nadia seems to be taking less EBM for the past 3 days and my suspicion is that because she is full from all the solids sheas been taking. In addition to rice porridge twice a day, we also introduced bananas into her diet, given during lunch. And her response to all the solids has been quite positive according to my maid. I am tempted to ask my maid to reduce portions given to her so dat she'll take more EBM. Haha makan bnyak salah, makan sikit salah... Hahahaa

Happy long weekend y'all????

Firecrackers

I use to love fireworks and firecrackers but now that I have Nadia, I sort of hate it! For a couple of nights now Nadia was past asleep then someone played firecrackers and woke Dia up. The first time I was next to her so I was able to soothe her back to sleep. Last night I was doing stuff in the room and then *boom*! Dia woke up and I had to quickly jump over the sofa and on to our bed to soothe her.. Baik jua inda nangis.. When I told my brothers not to buy and play any firecrackers he said 'Kami tah inda main, org lain? Besides its a celebration and you can't stop others'. What he said was 100% true, as I use to be one of those people.. *sigh*

How's your Hari Raya preparation so far? Ours has beeeen.. quiet! hahaha I have ordered some cakes and biscuits... Mother dear again have relinquished all organising duties to yours truly this year so I think I better start organising and assigning tasks to the brothers sooon..

In terms of clothes, I FINALLY dropped by at my tailor and alahmdulilah ada siap sudah haha mun nada siap paksa tah kami pakai baju tahun lapas tu, atu pun if I can fit in it! haha As for my little princess, we have been buying clothes for her before puasa, bit by bit and I think its a about time I stop. haha I just hope she can fit in them as I bought 6-9months sizes! LOL

All of us

I've been talking to my maid and some friends re introuducing fruits namely bananas, avocado and sweet potatoes, to Dia.. Have asked around and googled it as usual, so far no reason not to give her.. As long as it is well blended or licak.. So now the question is when to introduce it to her.. My thinking is when she reaches 6 months. But.. I am planning to introduce some new stuff to her at that time jua so maybe a bit earlier so I dont overwhelm her with too many new things.. hehehe

Oh the boss told me I will need to join them at the pre-board and possibly board meetings.. I have been avoiding this for so loongg but I guess can't avoid it any longer huh.. *sigh*

Fun filled weekend..

My weekend started at 11.30am on Friday and I kicked it off with a Tudong Shopping Spreee! hahaha Although I didn't top Shopaholic's spree of 12 tudongs, I bought merely 8.. Well what do u expect, she is a Shopaholic. We headed to the Gerai in Tutong in the afternoon and had Sungkai at home.

Then Saturday morning, I did my usual clean up around the room and Anjai decided to put Dia in one of my storage boxes!

Look at how happy she is playing with her Daddy..

We had a sungkai outing at Rizqun with Anjai's friends, without Nadia and I have to say food was fantastic! *will update with pics later, once i steal it from FB tee hee*

We decided to go over to anjai's place on sunday since we didn't go last weekend.. hehehe

Nadia & Alya: both aiming to grab the colorful table cloth and in Nadia's case, put it in her mouth!

Nadia's sniffles is back although its not as bad as before and we still give her paracetamol although less frequently. mcm twice a say saja since its not as bad as before kan.. I hope she gets better soon..

She has been hvaing Chicken, bayam and carrots in her rice porridge for the past 2 weeks so today we are introducing meat and brocolli in her diet.. Lets see how she reacts to her new food.. hehehe

Oh quick shout out to the Husband! Welcome back to work my dear!!

Its been 5 days of work during the month of Ramadhan and I just finished my pumping session this morning. On the first day I had 7oz during the day and then 6oz subuh. Day 2, I got 6oz (which i think is the after effect of pumping during subuh). And Day 3, 4 & 5, Alhamdulilah I got 9oz.. Syukur alhamdulilah.. On normal days I was able to produce 'extras' and now I produce just enough. At least it not less than what she takes.. hehehe

Happy weekend y'all..

From Him to Her

I finally have a new pocket camera.. hehe Thanks to the Husband! and trust him to pick something so complicated that I now find that the new camera is a bit hard to use.. hahaha Gimme a couple of weeks, I am sure I will get the hang of it. Thanks again Husband!

Nadia playing with the box..

and salivating the box. LOL

This was the first picture I took and I LOVE it!

I love my FS!

'It's a beautiful Saturday morning, as I start prepare myself to express my breastmilk. I clip the motor on my shorts, and attach both the breastshields on my nursing bra straps (onto the hook) Clip clip (top), Clip clip clip clip (to the base of the nursing bra) and press Start.....Znnggg... Znngg..... it goes.. Now with both of my hands free'd up, I can read the papers and drink my favorite cup of coffee while waiting for my breastpumps to complete its job! How convenient!'

The above text was taken from one of Medela Freestyle user and when I read it made me smile cause it is exactly how I feel. I love my FS (credit goes to H for recommending it to me). I have to admit before this I didn't bother trying out the Freestyle mode sekali once I tried it I loved it so much that when I tried pumping with hands, I felt soo bored! *one you go FS, you bever go back!* I recall a few months back when I was trying to choose which pump I asked myself 'do I really want to do something else while my B is being pumped?' Well ladies, all I can say is that it is very very convinient! A few nights ago I was dying to pump during sahur and to save time I put my FS on, a huge t-shirt on top and start preparing sahur whilst being pumped!! haha oh and parts for my FS has finally arrived so I now have 2 sets of everything except for the pump itself of course.. wohooooo

Another great news is that the Natural Factor's Fenugreek supplements are HALAL ladiesss!!! Please refer to this post. Gotta make a quick stop at Mall or Batu satu later today as I threw mine out the last time.. hehehe

Oh Dia is now well, sniffles has gone away. Syukur Alhamdulilah!
