On baby wearing

Yes,I am addicted to Muhriz.Ever since we have him,i wrote about nothing else but him.So this is another entry dedicated to you,my baby.Hopefully bila besar nanti kamu boleh baca hehe.

Hubby and i have many plans for Muhriz:
1.to raise him at home at least for the first year-which i have already talked in the previous entry
2.to breastfeed him at least until he turns 2-syukur i never have problems with my milk supply.
3.to go with cloth instead of disposable diapers-i will blog about this later
4.to carry/wear him in the carrier
5.no pacifier or buai-hurray!

This entry is about no 4.We thought a baby carrier is as important as other stuff that has to be bought when a little person arrives,especially if he is the first one to enters the family.From online reviews,it seems that Baby Bjorn tops the others for its durability and comfortness,jadi saya pon nak satu!

I love Muhriz's Quinny Buzz. But because of its size,yg consume half of the bontot kereta,buggy nie mmg kene tinggal kalau balik kampung or pegi trip mana2 yg jauh(mama suke angkut barang macam nak pindah rumah) or kalau i keluar berdua dgn Muhriz,mmg i tak akan bawak ler buggy nie.It's 10kg i tell you,size nak sama besar dgn mama =p.So we just use it for weekend outing with hubby.

Tapi takpe(sebut macam iklan Dutch Lady!),kami bawa Baby Bjorn carrier ke mana2.It is one thing we can't leave the home without.BB nie mmg kami letak dlm kereta.And muhriz is carried in it ke pasar,pasar malam,hypermarket,mall,mana2 lah yg agak2 tak sesuai angkut buggy kedabak die tue.I have been dreaming to wear my baby in sling lah,pouch lah,but with my petite size,rasa tak balance dukung budak nie lama lama hehe.And since dah beli BabyBjorn nie,rasa membazir pulak kalau beli another carrier(yer,bende nie mmg tak cheapo!).So we just go with it tapi adjust punya adjust to the smallest possible setting pon,masih agak loose dan besar dgn saya,mmg dasar ikan bilis hihi.It works on hubby,so hubby does the job,wearing his son here and there.Saya suke la,boleh lenggang mak limah,plus nampak hubby so fatherly ahahaha ayat cover tamau dukung anak!
After all day spending time with mama,it's time to get close to dada la pulak kan?

Hubby started wearing him since he was 2 .5 months

Facing inward for sleeping baby

Snug and securejust recently at Genting.Yer,dah 13 bulan pon masih in baby carrier hikhik.

You might want to consider this carrier too if you're looking for one.
I so want a pink sling tapi for sure hubby will go against it atau lagi parah confirm mama sorang la kene pakainya.

Muhriz's car seats

Car seat pertama muhriz ialah Maxi Cosi CabrioFix.Setelah membuat survey dan math sana sini,hubby setuju utk membeli this one dan owh menengok kan harganya RM800 di Malaysia,nasib baik kami sempat membeli semasa masih di Deutschland!
Kenapa saya sgt berminat dgn Maxi Cosi?i love the idea that it can connect to the pushchair,jadi kalau baby tido,there is no need to switch him from the car seat to the push chair seat and vice versa.Tak kacau tido senang cerita :) So Maxi Cosi Muhriz nie team up very well with his Quinny Buzz for the first 8 months.

umur 5 hari hehe

at 3 mths.masih lagi serasimaxi cosi+quinny buzz-->kereta kebal muhriz

mula menunjuk kan tanda2 tidak suka kerusi comel ini.

Ideally this car seat boleh digunakan sehingga 12 months.tetapi Muhriz nie,once he could sit on his own,sudah tidak mahu duduk di dalam seat ini lah.We believe he felt uncomfortable lying on his back all the time and want to sit up right.Jadi bermula lah pencarian car seat baru,nasib baik ade kawan dari Deutschland mahu pulang ke Malaysia,jadi kami pon berpesan pesanan,dpt lah seketul Roemer King atau di UK dan Malaysia dikenali sebagai Britax.Walaupon shipping cost menelan Euro60,tapi masih murah dibandingkan dgn harga disini.Suka lah si anakanda dapat duduk macam org besar.Selama berbulan bulan,kalau kami balik kampung,kami akan angkut kedua dua car seats hahaha.Kalau anak asleep,letakkan beliau di dlm maxi cosi,kalau awake,ikat die di dalam Roemer nie.Tetapi lama kelamaan,si anak sudah semakin besar,kalau beliau tido sekalipon,ikatkan saja di dlm Roemer nie atau tido tergolek di seat belakang mama letak toto(yer,mmg tidak selamat,jgn tiru!) atau tido mama dukung sambil nenen(pon tidak selamat!)!Roemer ini boleh la recline,tapi nak baring dah tak dpt lah.Dgn itu,tamatlah perkhidmatan Maxi Cosi secara rasminya.Saya sudah membersihkan seat tersebut dan sedia utk disimpan utk anak2 lain kemudian hari pula.

buhbye Maxi Cosi,i won't forget you!

entry bergambar byk sikit

Hubby brought back some stuff rom his business trip to Germany hari tue.Dpt la pesan butterbrezel kegemaranku.Dulu kalau nak travel especially nye,sambil tunggu bahn(train) di Hauptbahnhof(Railway Station),mesti beli brezel dgn coffee utk breakfast!tapi kalau ade jual nasi lemak confirm la saya beli nasi lemak sambal kerang hehe.

Ini hadiah utama.One Touch Culinare Can Opener.Saya ade pengakuan.saya sungguh malas membuka tin.Walau sudah 2 can opener dibeli dlm masa 6 bulan ini,saya masih lagi menyuruh hubby melakukan kerja ini dan sanggup menunggu beliau pulang dari kerja utk melakukannye.lantaran tidak tahan kemalasan si isteri,beliau dgn rela hati membeli bende ini dan saya dgn senang hati membuka tin tanpa byk soal,sekali tekan dah siap,i like!siap bertanya jiran kalau2 ada tin utk dibuka?katenye bende alah ini was selected as one of the coolest product in 2010 by Business Week.mesti yg select tue malas nak buka tin macam saya

Hadiah ke 2.WMF grill pan,terima kasih suami.suami membeli dgn rela hati jugak kerana beliau tidak tahan dgn isterinya yg selalu memberi alasan malas menggrill ayam.Ya beliau bukan penasi tapi pengayam.setelah pulang ke malaysia semenjak setahun lepas,beliau tidak lagi merasa grilled chicken isterinya.Isterinya memberi alasan De Longhi electric grill itu sgt besar utk memasak 2 ketul ayam,membasuh nye juga leceh.jadi dgn wujudnya grillpan ini,isteri tiada alasan lagi kecuali tido lagi sedap dari grill ayam.TEFAL Frying pan tue hadiah saguhati kalah acara siapa boleh pakaikan diapers anak dgn tangan kiri tutup mata kanan.Ni la butterbrezel yg mama minta.lenyek pon sodap lagi.klau ckp tak sedap kang ade org marah penat hangkut dgn hati hati dari Frankfurt Flughafen
Utk anakanda tersayang.Duit raya dlm Euro tidak perlu dinyatakan jumlah,winter jacket utk winter trip yg tak jadi,buku utk kamu dan mama belajar.mama name je amik german sampai level 5 tapi ckp german macam siam hehe.

Cheese dan makanan2 lain


Pesto for muhriz.fussili mit pesto nie finger food die.saya ingat die tekak melayu habis sebab pantang nampak nasi.tapi sebenarnye tidak,pasta antara makanan die nampak sekali tak layan,nampak 2 kali mkn sepinggan.nampak itu One Touch saya?hehe

So hubby next trip nie bawak balik selori hadiah lagi yer,sayang kamu hehe

Barcelona again

i was flipping through the folder,ternampak folder barcelona nie.
Went there in winter 2009,after i completed my MSc.I love Barcelona,and dying to go back there.Everytime DH asked me which Euro trip i love most,the answer will be the same(for now lah)hehe.And there's another reason why do i heart the trip so much;it was our conceptionmoon hahaha.Well,sort of.I was trying to get pregnant months before that.With the thesis writing going on,stress dohhh.So DH decided it was best for us to go for a short getaway.It was freezing cold in Deutschland at that time,so we chose a warmer city and Barcelona it was.Timing mmg kene,about 2 weeks after my period,alhamdulillah semuanya dgn izin Allah.Hubby cakap pasal tue la Muhriz has brown and goldish hair,made in Barca,baked in Augsburg kekeke.

Should i,ermm return to work?

When i was expecting,the top thing on the list hubby and i was deciding was whether or not i should continue working.Of course the decision is clearly for me to be a stay at home mama and raise the baby at home.

This decision of living on one income for us was not fairly easy.But we have been preparing for it ever since we got married 4 years before,if we werenot,could you figure how did we ever got married when we were still 23?When hubby was still studying and i just started my first job 6 mths earlier?We are so proud that the wedding itself,though nothing grand,was minimally funded by both parents.The answer was simple,when other guys chose to get new gadgets from the store,hubby sticked to his old HTC sampai lunyai.And when other girls have lines of designer bags,i decided to have just a PRADA and a FENDI hahaha tgk org lain pakai nangis jer la.

The deciding factor that come into play was we donot want some one else to raise our baby,at least for the first year of his life. Hubby and i agree that growing him at home is the best and safest instead of sending him to a daycare.You know how fragile a baby below the age of 1 kan?And we want to cherish the time when muhriz is still young.I believe all parents want the same too;to be able watch the child grow up each and every single min and to be the first who witness the little one's new milestone.And what's with all the not-so nice story about the careless and some are even heartless babysitters these days.Mmg risau nak tinggalkan.When Muhriz was younger,he was not an easy baby.He wanted to be held all the time and didnot want to be left alone,he needed 30 mins of rocking and lullabying but slept for only 15mins hehe.Cooking was almost impossible unless while he was taking that 15mins nap.Otherwise just forget it,call hubby to send lunch home or heat up some water,makan lah mee maggi!I was and still glad he didnot need to be cared by somebody else as i fear his carer akan naik angin asik kene makan maggi.i myself pon sometimes stressed up sorang2.Owh this situation might be different for you out there,especially if you have relatives to help looking after your baby while you are away.

Decision was done but can we afford it?Giving up a salary is surely seemeed hard to do.Tapi gaji 5kilo tidak semestinya bawa pulang semuanya bukan?Do the math as you might not be giving up as much money you think. Consider the cost of a babysitter,fuel, eating out, and other work related expenses.Of course when you earn more,you want to buy more expensive things,rumah lagi besar,kereta lagi besar,mortage bertambah.Wait a sec,did i mentioned i'm going to stay home forever?Tidak kan?This is just my temporary arrangement.Of course i want a home of my own,a bigger car,etc too but anak saya baru setahun,i believe he needs my love and attention more than sebuah rumah.

So we learn to live with less income,but we are happy with better quality of living.There's always home made food,baju bersih even not folded,lantai sentiasa ber mop.ala ala keluarga di rumah kecil tapi bahagia huhu.Back then when i was working,even there were just me and hubby,rumah macam kene pukul ribut,dinner tok sah ckp mmg mostly order kedai siam fav tue.Even i went back at 530pm on most day,badan sudah flat letih!Imagine if there were Muhriz yg nak dukung jer hehe.So i salute all working mommies,it puzzles me on how do you manage your routine!

So the 1 year period has passed and my little one,despite masih suke mengempeng dan sudah bagi mama masak tapi i have to give him another set of periuk and senduk,sudah pandai mix around with other kids,sudah makin friendly.Kurang kerisauan if i were to leave him to a carer.So is it the right time to return to the work force?Ok ke to leave him?Ok ke tak ok?But what if the carer is not loving?Is impatient suka marah marah?How to find a trustable one?How to know if she will feed muhriz well and won't leave him unattended?Tak akan pukul?Tak kasi ubat batuk?Should i get a maid and install a CCTV?But i am not comfortable to have a stranger in our home,nor is hubby.Get a babysitter to come to my home and leave as i get back from work?Is that the best option?Or just go on with my online business yg actually cukup to afford nafsu shopping saya?Uiks belum masuk keje sudah nak pengsan!

Mama,i donot want to wake up looking at a stranger!

Tick tock tick tock,fikir fikir fikir.Now where is my MSc cert?

saje je

a'kum

muhriz is still sleeping,so boleh update!hehe whoever thinks a stay at home mama boleh online suka hati is so damn wrong.ok maybe kalau baby dah besar sket boleh kot.but in my case,my anak tgh excited dpt kaki,one min die tgh tv,another min tgh panjat coffee table or selongkar dapor!ha nak sgt anak jantan kan?kekeke.so once he's wide awake,i have to give my full attention to him.
kalau i nak guna laptop nie pulak,die pon mau jugak!i used to place this laptop on a small table,die pegi tolak laptop jatuh,nasib baik bernyawa lagi laptop nie(ok hubby,i lied to you,honey ckp he attempted to push your laptop je kan,actually mmg die tolak jatuh pon!=p).now i kene letak laptop on the floor,tapi nanti budak kecik tue pijak2 keyboard pulak,ade je idea die hehe.

ok here are some raya photos.as i mentioned earlier,hubby flew to Hannover 3 hari before raya.so muhriz dan mama raya dgn family jer lah.alhamdulillah muhriz dpt byk duit raya,tenkiu uncles and aunties2 muaah muaahh.


2 weeks kene tinggal,hubby balik muhriz dah boleh jalan laju!and within that 2 weeks,rasanya my little boy dah improve his social skill,dah jadi friendly,tidak la org nak amik asik merengek or i want nobody else but mama!hohh kalau nak mama saje tak dpt le kamu naik moto pusing kampung kan?mama mane pandai bawak motonye hehe.

we went back to kota bharu on thursday the 25th.started the journey at 7am,a bit late than selalunya.selalunye kitorang gerak around 5am,latest by 6am.muhriz nie bile jalan jauh,1 hr tak keluar kereta die jadi restless,so kene la gerak when he's still sleeping.at least by the time he wakes up,dah half way if not almost sampai.besides toys sebakul,i will make sure ade food for him.his fav ape lagi,nasi or pasta.cookies semua tak mkn,kerepek or keropok mkn jugak la.mmg tekak melayu despite mama pregnantkan kamu di Deutschland sana hahaha.kalau bagi fruits dlm kereta melekit pulak tapi i bawak juga just tak peel siap2.bagi food sgt boleh distract his attention hihi.nasib kamu nie slim,kalau tak sure dobob dah,asal merengek je bagi nasi/pasta.
