Had this conversation with hubby last nite
Me:Do you still remember Dr Hasliza(our gynae)told us it takes 18-24 months for the c-sect to fully heal so it's best for us to wait before i get pregnant again.But soon Muhriz will turn 18 months,abang dah ready for the second askar?hehe
Hubby: Of couse la,Muhriz dah besar nie.Tapinya..
Me: I know there are plenty of mak mak who have carried back-to-back after a c-section and they were just fine.Kak yah(my 2nd sis) pon kan
Hubby: I know,but that means you MIGHT have to give up breastfeeding Muhriz before he turns 2.And i know how much you would like to susukan him sampai 2 tahun kan?Nanti pregnant letih nak nenenkan muhriz lagi macamana,tau lah muhriz kan monster susu.
Me: Thanks abang hik hik
Terima kasih Allah for a very supportive hubby.When it's the breastfeeding call,hubby is into it as much as i am.The other day we went to look for a manual breastpump for his colleague's wife.Macam comel je bapak bapak discuss pasal breastfeeding.Hmm maybe i too can start selling manual pump jugak lepas nie.
Before i started going out with hubby,saya ialah tidak makan di kedai mamak.Nor did i eat any Indian food,mmg rugi besar kan?Hubby nie pulak kalau boleh dating kedai mamak pon tak apa sebab die hantu roti canai,naan dan segala roti lain.Awal2 i still jual mahal,gi makan mamak order nasi lemak ;p pastu suka maggi goreng,lepas tue dok penang for almost 3 years i yg hantu tosai la tandoori la,roti pisang,tisu?semua telan.Ni kalau dulu every week kene makan,sekarang pegi penang wajib pekena!
Kapitan's (Lebuh Chulia)tandoori
I suke with nasi beriani
Hubby had it with garlic naan
Suka sampai menjilat jari hik hik

Sy dan hubby sgt suka kan cuti cuti pulau.Tapi last ke Redang was 4 yrs ago?ke Perhentian pulak setahun sebelum tue.So it's been a while.Now that we have muhriz,lagi lah mak risau nak naik boat.When i saw this Jerejak 2D/1N voucher for just RM120,knowing that Jerejak is just few mins away from Penang(10 mins boat ride to be exact),tak pandang belakang dah terus beli.Murah kan?We made it to the island last friday since coupon x boleh guna for saturday/public holiday stay.
Everyone knows Jerejak Island offers no crystal clear sea or stretches of white sandy beaches.Macam nie takde.

Redang,few years back.Perfect beach.
It's just a nice island getaway for those who want to relax,enjoy the sea breeze without having to travel far.So don't expect much,tak dak org mandi pon kat pantai tue he he,byk jelly fish,plus kilang penuh seberang,ada beran?The resort has a lot of outdoor activities though; jungle tracking,flying fox,wall climbing,telematch games.So utk teambuilding sgt sesuai.
Alamak,askar kecik sudah bgn.sambung esok lah
alaa malasnya nak pegi Imigresen lagi sekali,agak2 tak betulkan pon ok kot.
Muhriz's 1st passport photo.Hehe muka baru lepas menangis ni.He didnot want to get off from that rocking horse!So terpaksa lah amik gambar sambil duduk atas kuda hijau tue.habis customer lain kat kedai gambar tu jenguk ke belakang tgk awat la budak nie dok meraung =p
Hubby sy ialah bukan picky eater,tetapi die ialah peng-ayam.Masaklah ayam cencaluk sekali pon die akan makan,yg penting ayam.ini lauk kegemaran suami sekarang,bg sepinggan tanak share kalau boleh.siap pesan tiap2 minggu kene masak nie
Chicken breast-pound thinly then marinate dgn soy+oyster sauce sket,kacau tepung jagung+telor to form batter,coat the chicken with it then fry until brown.Sauce(sgt senang!): Lemon juice,lemon slice,chicken broth,honey/sugar,salt+pepper,tepung jagung utk pekatkan.
Muhriz buat jugak tapi most of the times we can spot the missing item back.Sebab dah tau his fav places hehe.Sometimes he put them in the fridge,laundry basket,or in his opened diapers pack.But his fav hiding place is always the mega block wagon
It's been a while since i last look into his wagon nie.Sebabnya 1)we didnot have any missing item to look for 2)sy malas nak bersihkan his mega blocks haha,nie mega blocks,kalau lego yg lagi kecik?
Anyho,i decided to clean it yesterday and look what have i found underneath the blocks!
My calculator,vit C for the fridge,ebm bottle,my skip rope!(hoho nampak sgt dah lama tak skip ;p) and my old phone.
Kids can sure be sneaky little monster hiks!

When you're expecting,it's the question everyone wants to know the answer to.Of course all you want is a healthy baby,but don't tell me deep down you are not hoping for a she or he hehehe.
Hubby and I?Mula mula we wanted a boy first.But going into 5 weeks,i told him a kak long would be fun too.Tapi lepas tue rasa nak boy semula ;p So being a fickle minded,saya tidak percaya kan naluri hati walaupon hati sy kata boy hiks.Masa 16 weeks check up,the gynae ckp there was a high chance for a boy,since then scan tiap2 bulan pon Muhriz budak tak malu asik tunjuk bird ;p
Ok anyway,you may have heard of all the old wives' tales;perut ke depan baby boy,melebar ke tepi girl,or is it vice versa?Tido ke kiri kanan macamana ntah.
Or tried the Chinese Calendar,or or makan asam to have a girl or more seafood to get a boy?eh again don't tell me tak pernah dengaq ;p
Hubby and I referred to none of those,we looked for a more scientific explanation instead;the ovulation calendar.meh nak share
There're 2 main uncertainties though ;
1) it's hard to be certain when do you ovulate 2)when exactly the conception happen.
But no harms trying,you still havve 50% of success rate hihi.Simple je,all u need to do is to look at the day of conception and the day of ovulation.Ovulation(waktu subur)selalunya on ~14th day of your menstrual cycle(count dari 1st day period).So,
-If conception occurred within 2-2.5 days of ovulation, you can expect for a boy.
-If conception occurred prior to 2-2.5 days before ovulation, you can predict for a girl.
This has to do with the nature of the types of sperm.The "girl" sperm tends to be stronger and live longer than the "boy" sperm but it is a slow swimmer.
The boy "sperm" tends to swim faster, and is more likely to beat the girl in the race to the victory.
So, it makes sense that if you and hubby go lovey dovey a day or 2 before your egg is released,the "boy" sperm would have died,leaving the "girl" But if conception occurs close to ovulation, the "boy" sperm are going swim like a champion,leaving the girls terkedek kedek
Our case?Went to Barcalona on my 13th day,before that mmg berehat sebab both hubby dan saya sgt busy and super tired.So Muhriz bukan Maisarah lah hasilnya kih kih
Tapi boy ke girl,itu Allah yg tentukan.Bukan semua girl a slow swimmer and who knows if your hubby pegi outstation hari ke 11 tapi you still get a boy?Tetapi tidak salah berusaha dan semestinya berdoa.Hahaha selamat mencuba!
Muhriz turns 16 months hari nie alhamdulillah.So mari tgk ape budak cheeky ini up to:
-If he wants something,he will say "nak" then point or take my hands to whatever it is.Paling suka,ajak berguling atas katil :)
-Babbles a whole lot!bising macam mama hubby ckp ;p.He actually babbles in his own language.Sometimes his sentence sgt panjang but there's no real words.Yg die boleh ckp clearly ialah bye bye,no,nak,bird,tuck(for truck).Sometimes panggil me betul lah "mama",sometimes "Ba".He sometimes calls "Ba" for almost everything,ayah pon "Ba" sekali.
-Understands simple instructions (with gestures)macam "Muhriz,bring the cup to mama please".Or if he wants to play outside,sy akan ckp "put on your shoes first"nanti terkial kial
mamat kecik tue nak pakai kasut.Suruh sayang mama,nanti die kiss atau lebih kepada makan pipi mama
-like to imitates.paling suka,tiru mama lipat kain lepas tue habis bersepah la
-tanak duduk dlm high chair dah.He prefers to sit on my/hubby's lap dan makan sepinggan.dah mama nak makan sambal belacan ke budu ke tak bleh dah
-power struggle nak tukar diapers.Hohh kalau die popped adalah hazab nak basuh,confirm mama kene mandi lepas tue(get what i mean?)
-Sudah dropped his morning nap.Jadi sekarang die adalah nap sekali sehari je.Tapi sekali nap boleh sampai 2jam.
-Terrified at the sound of loud noise macam thunderstorm or blender.Cepat2 dtg kat mama dan hug sekuat hati hehe.
Muhriz's first food was avocado.Pureed avocado.But that was a year ago,now anak mak dah boleh makan chunky food,byk buah dah dia makan.These fruits are his current fav;oranges,passion fruit,pomegranate
Pomegranate nie sy amalkan makan since pregnantkan muhriz.I guess most of you know about its beauty,buah disebut di dalam Al Quran.Among its good;provides 16% of an adult vit C requirement and rich in fiber,which entirely contained in the edible seeds,so jgn discard the seed.Muhriz kadang telan seed,kadang die buang huhu.
I've tried making strawberry smoothies before,but anakanda didnot seem to like it.Not sure tak suke strawberry or susu lembu!Maybe campur EBM die nak kot huuu.
Buah ape lagi penah bagi?Ha papaya,apples tue dah tapi kene reject.Don't worry Muhriz,byk lagi fruits for you to explore.Anyway,I'll make sure Muhriz takes a bowl of fruits setiap hari,kalau tak tahu nak offer which one,buka peti then let him decide.Try to avoid Yes/No questions,give your kid a choice instead.

Since hari nie ada pasar malam dan akan pergi ke pasar malam nak cari durian,mari tulis mengenai makanan pasar malam.
Sy dan suami suka ke pasar malam,tapi pasar siang 2 bulan sekali belum tentu hahaha.Tapi dgn muhriz nie tidak lah selalu sgt pergi,kesian pakcik tue kene berpanas.Sebelum sampai atau senang cerita,dari rumah lagi dah decide nak makan apa,so bile sampai,terus pegi gerai sama selalunya,beli dan terus balik. Kalau mood mama ok, mama pegi la cari ikan ke sayur ke.Makanan di pasar malam nie,kalau kami jumpa yg ok mmg tak pandang yg lain dah,takot nak try yg lain hehe dasar tak berani mencuba ;p.
One of our fav is Yong Tau Fu.Yong Tau Fu nie kalau tak sedar diri boleh sampai RM20 percaya atau tidak?Mmg kene percaya!Jadi kene beringat selalu dan muhasabah baru tak terbeliak mata nak membayar.Utk tidak menterbeliakkan mata lagi,kita masak sendiri yo!Senang aje rupanya. Sebab kene prepare dipping sauce die ajo.Hat lain?beli dan rebus dlm soup.Soup tutup mata boleh buat ece ce ce.Ni dah 3rd time buat sampai hubby tak mo dah keh keh.
