Hahaha dada muhriz asks this question all the time.Tapi makin kurang tanya after he saw video c-sect,baru pucat muka haha!Tapi pastu tanya jugak mana sakit dgn sunat?LOL sebab for him paling sakit sunat la kan huhuhu.
Dan mama muhriz akan jawab sunat tue macam kene gigit semutt je.Mama rasa lah hehe.
Semlm dada muhriz tanya lagi.The 3 of us go to bed together everynite,adalah setengah jam at least berguling2 atas katil sambil bercerita dgn Muhriz.Selalunya bed time stories die those yg dlm tablet tapi since hubby brought up topic beranak semlm,cerita pasal the D(delivery day).Hua hua muhriz baru 2 tahun dah lapan ploh kali cerita kat Muhriz.Nanti dah besar mesti die dah boleh hafal =p Tak apa,it's a good reminder for him.Rasanya i've never shared it here,so here you go.Dear Son,this is your story.

Week 20(An Nisa Pusat Bersalin): Mama nak amik letter utk naik flight pegi Deutschland lah mana lagi.Been staying at home in Kota Bharu for few weeks to settle my visa.Dr Hasliza my gynae advised siap2 yg i might not be able to deliver you through normal delivery,sebab she predicted with your growth rate,your size gonna be too large to pass my pelvic(CPD:cephalopelvic disproportion).So the safest way to get you out of mama's tummy is through caesarean.

Week 24-31(Augsburg,Germany): Monthly check-up semuanya okay Alhamdulillah tapi the dr been saying the same thing about CPD.So on my last checkup,she wrote a letter to be referred to my gynae in Malaysia.

Week 32: Balik Malaysia,saja nak buat card pink kat klinik ibu dan anak.Everyone ckp elok ada record jugak kat klinik ibu dan anak in case kene refer ke GH.And guess what,the dr pon ckp the same thing!Ukur tinggi berat baby berat mama-most likely tak lepas.

Week 35(An Nisa): Final words from the gynae "You can try to push but most likely you'll end up with c-sect,so double the pain" Considering 3 dr dah ckp macam tue plus both my sisters (your mak long and ibu)semua delivery their 3+4 babies(your kakak2 and abgs) through c-sect,kitorang decided c-sect it was.The dr said you were ready to see the world now,yer lah,at 35weeks nie kamu dah 3kg,apa la mama telan masa kat germany eh?So select date utk operate hmmm nak 08-08-10 ke 06-08-10.We chose the later one,sebab tue hari jumaat,siap pilih pagi sebab nanti poksu ckp kalau keluar sebelum semayang jumaat nanti rajin pergi masjid huhu.takde lah saja je,keluar pagi la best kan?

Week 36 and 5 days(An Nisa): The c-sect was scheduled at 9am,7am mama dgn dada dah checked in kat hospital.Tok mama,tok we and poksu gi breakfast dulu.Anaest called ckp sampai lambat sikit so postponed to 10am,tok ma and the geng boleh gi sambung minum teh pastu lepak dgr ceramah Tok Guru jap hehe.10am,i was strolled to the OT, given a shot of epidural lepas tue tak rasa apa dah just bila pasang oxygen mask tue buat rasa nak muntah sikit.Rasa senak2 the dr tgh kerjakan perut and i could see my tummy was wide open through the reflection on the lights,huuuu dah le mak takot darah.Owh btw,dada tak boleh masuk OT,it's the hospital policy sebab ada case husband terpengsan before.Right 11am,bunyi Muhriz wekkk weekkk and immediately they brought you close to me hihihihihihihi 3.1kg healthy comey baby you're!Alhamdulillah.And after that you were passed to the rest of our family who were waiting in the room next to the OT.Dada ckp you got clean and azan over here.


So really beranakkan Muhriz was no drama,contraction pain pon mama tak sempat rasa tapi of course la sakit dari sunat cik abang sayang oiii (honey rasa lah=p)hahahaa
I digged into the photo folders,jumpa folder euro trip ni.Hahh baru teringat MIL suruh edit!Ya Allah,it's been 2 years and i don't think i have ever shared it here.A month before we left Deutschland for good,in laws came to visit for 10 days.So we brought them around Bayern,to London lepas Andalucia(Malaga,Granada,Sevilla,Cordoba).The later one tue yg tak habis2 update,yg lain tue tempat tido siang malam so lagi lah malas nak update.After they went back,busy pack barang nak ship,so blog tak kisah pon.Sebab masa nie tgh gemok macam watermelon,mama wants to put these up here hahaha.OMG,i was so huge!28 weeks tapi still berlari kejar train,no wonder Muhriz nie mmg tak boleh dok diam even 1min.





I'm abandoning this space again!Busy packing pulak!My apology to some of you yg email,tapi belum direply!Life has been super hectic nak tercabut tulang belakang pon ade ;p

And i rase i will only blog about the Spain trip later bila dah balik Malaysia wahahaha.
Going back this time is different.It's been 6 years and we are leaving Augsburg for good sob sob!!6 years bebeh,countless flight trips going to and fro Muenchen Airport(from Indiana,from KL,from London lah),so this place is surely to be missed!Masa packing our stuff(for shipment),segala bende jumpa,stamps from the States pon ade lagi!sebab dulu when i was still in Indiana,i used to send card to hubby at least once a month,dgn stamp2 sekali hubby ku simpan hihi.Macam2 bende lah jumpa,card hari raya,my teddy bear busuk bawah katil ;p
I know it's a mix feeling for hubby.On top of all,i can feel this is something he's looking forward to!mesti lah happy sebab he has been here since 2004 haha and dah 3 tahun tak balik malaysia ok ;p nasib baik ingat lagi rupe durian macamane.And getting a German's Diplom Ingenieur is a very tough journey so many congrats abang!!And hands down to all Diplom graduates from here!
But deep down,i tau mesti die sedih punya and we surely gonna miss Deutschland!Haha tapi kalau tanye nie,si dudek nie mesti cakap tak heran pon dengan Deutschland nie,typical him!
Ade rezeki dtg lagi but coming for vacation will never be the same as living here.

Anyway,it's been a while since i update on the pregnancy.I'm entering my 31 weeks,baby dah turn his head down,which is expected at this point of pregnancy.Yesterday was our 2nd attempt to do the 3D scan but it was still unsuccessful!This time baby si notty nie cover muka die dgn lutut pulak dah.Rasanya balik buat 3D scan kat malaysia nanti dah.Everything is normal but my weight tak naik since the last checkup(3 weeks ago)I blame the traveling and packing lah,tapi berat baby naik 200g,berat mama nye tidak hehe.Ok what else,aaa yerp i'm hoping to deliver normally but the doctor said c-sect might be the better choice for me because of my small figure!Anyway,miracle might happen and i'm praying for that. Owh this baby aa,so like his father,tido susah nak bgn!During the CTG scan semlm,even the nurse made a lot of noise by knocking on a paper cup pon(for the purpose of waking him up) baby M nie boleh tido lagi heee.But baby,as long as you're growing healthily inside,mama+bapak tak kisah lah kamu suka tido pon ;p
Scanner dah simpan masuk kotak,tak cantik betul amik gambar gambar nie,but for now,this will do hehe

Baby M @ 28 weeks
Baby semlm @31 weeks.Ikut mama ke bapak?;p

Okeh,world cup fever!Nak muntah asik kene teman hubby tgk bola.Which team are you?Hubby is supporting Spain(macam biasa,die tak akan support Deutschland nye even though he admits Deutschland macam ade chance je kihkih).Me?I do not care much except for the Waka Waka song,saya tak suruh hubby tukar channel pon nasib baik tau.Baby?Die kene sokong Spain sebab he was made in Barcelona ;p There's a big screen showing the match at the city center but there's no way i will join the crowd,nanti nangis nak balik je ;p
Can't wait to golek this kucing gemok!
Ok got to continue packing,the courier guy is coming to pick up the boxes.Tschuss!
We only had one more day to be spent in London after the commencement.No sightseeing this time.I think i have seen enough and that was not my sister's first visit to London either,so nobody bother about the tourist sights.We went shopping instead.I managed to cross out a number of items from the baby checklist.But i need to get more clothes for him.Feeding items pon belum complete juga.The squeaky train and orange soft toy on the left were chosen by hubby.One meant to be attached to the buggy's bumper bar,the other tue pulak toy busuk baby.Hihihi first time parents nie mmg main hentam beli barang ;pCath Kidston tue stroller bag kot hahaha entah,i don't think hubby nak tolong bawak bag tu nanti hikhik.One question,kat Malaysia ok tak pakaikan baby legging?Panas tak diorang?
The weather was super wonderful semlm,me love it!Jadinya i have the mood to finally masak nasi for dinner,tapi nasi goreng jer pon hihihi.

Nasi goreng paprik comot
Earlier,we went for my 23rd+ week check up.Eh eh,ok pulak Hb nye,up from 11 to 13+.True people said,when the mother is happy,the baby pon happy jugak.This time we asked about the gender again(so that boleh shopping baju baby dgn tenang next week),hubby pon suke sgt la,as the answer is still the same;Baby M.Torres ;p My husband wants to call his baby Torres!Ya ampun.But you know,baby nie kan everytime bapak die tgk football match pon he will kick hard hihi,so you love football too baby?Nanti we'll get your Liverpool kits next week k!

Mein Mutterpass-German version of card merah card biru jgn marah i love you;p
One way the antenatal checkup over here is done differently from Msia is;there's Vaginal examination in all appointments,can you believe it?Owh my,but that was my 2nd time so tak kekok sgt dah but still!!Owh yes the medical staff here does not believe in taking supplements too,they won't suggest which supplements to take,unless you ask them.They strongly believe in healthy eating habit and you should get everything from your food.Go and ask for formulated susu tepung for pregnant mommy macam Anmum-they will laugh it out.Saya pernah kene!Dan meraka kate "yang ade susu segar cap lembu sahaja,semua rakyat jelata di negara ini minum susu segar dari lembu dan mereka semua sihat!" hahaha

Then saya ikut hubby pegi sekolah.Told ya,the weather was so cantek kan?Feels like summer dah :)Ini perut aa,sekejap sorok,sekejap ade!semlm die decide untuk ade,menyebabkan orang memberi laluan kepada saya ;p

Oooo ade org dari seronok2 mahu dapat partner main game,berubah menjadi extremely unhappy,L didnot make it to finale.So can we drop Torres and just stay with baby M bang?;p

Orait,enjoy your weekend all!



Hubby bought this car seat last week.Tried on the Quinny and i love it!Ok so baby got a car seat,but the parents do not have any car!Hahaha camne nih?Yeah we'd been driving our parents' autos,since they are the ones paying,the cars are theirs lah kan?When i left for UK,my little brother took over "my"car,hubby's pon sama.And now both Paksu tu nampaknya tak nak return the cars,aiyaya.Kat Malaysia,tak ade car nie macam patah kaki kan?Tumpang Buzz baby lah vroommm;p

Poor hubby!He's been facing problem to fall asleep because of my loud breathing!
When hubby first mentioned to me,of course i was in denial and refused to believe because never ever in my life did i snore.But it's been more than 5 sleepless nights for him so it is a real problem!


But according to babycenter,snoring during pregnancy is quite common:

Swollen nasal passages may be at least partly to blame for your midnight melodies. Higher levels of estrogen during pregnancy contribute to swelling in the mucous membranes lining the nose and can even cause you to make more mucus.

What's more, the amount of blood in your body increases when you're pregnant and your blood vessels expand, which can lead to swollen nasal membranes as well. (Congestion from other causes, such as a cold or allergies, can cause snoring too.)

Also, the heavier you are to begin with and the more weight you gain during pregnancy, the more likely you are to have trouble breathing during sleep, because of the extra tissue in your neck and throat.

Obviously,i'm blaming my increasing weight!Did i tell you that at this far along,i have gained almost 20 pounds and i have 18 weeks to go!But I was underweight at conception,so i believe the weight is on track as i should expect a total gain of 30-40 pounds.
So hubby,guess you have to sleep with it ;p,so let's get you an ear plug!just kidding,we'll let the doctor know about this next week k ;p
Anyway,has any of you experience this during pregnancy?
Any tip?I tried to sleep on my side but that didnot seem to work.
Went to the flea market the other day,though it was raining i insisted on going out
sebab dah 2 hari tak keluar rumah!I did not care much about other stalls except this one stall selling all types of book,in German of course.Since hubby spends more than 5 years here,and i too know little bit of Deutsch,we think the baby has no choice but to learn a bit of the language.
And since the buggy is already here,i have one thing in mind; let's get baby M a buggy book!
To be exact,i was looking for a soft book.But the stall did not have it,maybe hari tue last day kot.Nevermind,boleh beli soft book nanti,so i took this one first.Title macam comel,so without much thinking,i just grabbed the book,asked hubby to pay and ajak balik!It was raining,remember?
Kat rumah,i told hubby "Jom abg,let's read it out for baby M!" First and second pages were ok,simple Deutsch jer nie.But owh my,3rd page onward Mama dah tak faham hahahaha,hubby pulak kene translate;p
Sorry baby,i'll save this book for your(or our;p) Deutsch lesson with bapa later ok
We are done with the items listed in this entry except for the breastpump.Well,pretty much dah decide which one we want and insyaAllah akan beli masa my convocation trip nanti.

Next in the list is the bottles set.My plan is to exclusively breastfeed for the first few weeks,once the baby can latch on properly,i will introduce him a bottle with EBM.

Ok,so how do you choose which bottle for your baby?Which one matters most?Is it the nipple shape? or nipple flow rate or the anti colic features?Most bottles are BPA free nowadays so i'm not too worried about that.And i know bottle feeding with breast milk ain't easy.You have to find the right bottle so little one can switch back and forth from the breast and bottle with no issue,true?
So upon reading online reviews,i came to this First Years Breastflow:
  • Two-part teat system designed to assist combined breast and bottle-feeding
  • Teat encourages same tongue position as breast feeding
  • Inner teat allows baby to control milk flow
  • With extra wide neck for easy cleaning

The only negative feedback i read is the extra teats system make it painful to set up andclean the bottle.Other than that,everyone seems happy with it.So this brand tops my list now.

Other brands that i am considering are Dr Brown(known best for its anti colic system),Tommee Tippee (love the bottle shape ;p) and Avent.
I know many mommies out there choose Avent bottles and i pon suke jugak Avent tapi tak nak la beli sebab ikut2 jer kan huhu,so care to share your opinions?

But hey,i can just buy one or two first and try out new brands if the baby is not happy later kan?
Apart from the bottle sets,we are planning to get this too. Avent Electric Steam Sterilizer

And upon asking a few mommies,we do not see a need for an electric bottle warmer,agree?
Ladies,ask your partner to sign up for babycenter update too!
Why?Before going to bed last night,my darling hubby suddenly asked...

Him:Honey,let's do some shopping tomorrow,nak?
and i was like...

Me:ek?Do you mean grocery shopping?
Him:Tak lah.Jom beli baju baru untuk honey.
Me: ???

Ingatkan demam tiba-tiba hubby nie,but then i figure out that he just read the weekly email update from babycenter.com!!kihkih
Apart from a few throw up sessions in the first trimester and some upper back acne attack,i am happy to say that so far,20 weeks into pregnancy,so good.Of course there are days when i feel down,especially when i was away from hubby for the last 3 months.During that period,i kept reminded myself,"don't get too carried away".Of course when i was sad,i allowed myself to be sad but if it was for no apparent reason,i would try to stop it.Being pregnant is not a sickness or a weakness and i want this little one to be born healthy so i have to keep myself balanced and stay healthy as possible too.Easy said than done right?hahaha
Anyway,dah lama tak post gambar food.While it is normal for pregnant women to gag at the kitchen(and even their partners body odors), i am grateful not to fall into that group.And these days,cooking has been a lot and a lot easier with the extra helping hands in the kitchen,rajin ok hubby sekarang nie ;p

Kueh Bakar-hubby mintak.

Hubby's favorite-Honey Sesame chicken
Home made Mozzarella pizza.
We had this 2 days in a row hahaha




Hello from Augsburg!
Arghhh comot melampau!This is my very first full photo with the baby bump(kalau nampak lah hihi;p)

It's been 5 days since i arrived in Augsburg.The journey was sgt ok Alhamdulillah :)
More updates to come after this,after i have done folding the 3 loads laundry,unpacking belacan and segala bekal mak nenek,and booking and planning our May and June trip!

Anyway,i'm in my 20th weeks now,cepat kan?
Care to know what's the baby listening to?

Most days the father akan kasi dgr something from Maxim or Mozart and kadang2 this one huhuhu,nak suruh anak jadi rock star kot ;p







I know i don't blog much lately and i blame the hormones and the weather!Fuhh creating excuses eh,truth is,i just do not have the mood to blog ;p aka malas!

I'll be seeing hubby again in 2 weeks time yeay!!and hopefully kat Augsburg nanti rajin lah update blog.Anyway,i need your opinions on some of the baby stuff.

1.Breast Pump

After researching and asking around,rasanya we are going for Medela,but which model tue,undecided lagi.I know,i know mesti ramai ckp beli free-style lah.Of course i want to,but put yourself in our shoes,being first time parents yang semua barang baby kene beli and with the not yet working mommy nie, surely we have to allocate the budget for every single thing and as for now,free-style is beyond our budget.So,our other options are the pump- in style or Swing or Mini(double).But seriously,what's the different between the Free-style and pump-in style besides the first one is of course can be operated hands free?And between dual pumping(double mini) and dual mode expression(swing) which one is more important?If there's dual swing,surely i'll grab that one.
free-style aka hands free?

the bulky pump-in style?



ke mini?ke 2-phase but single pumping?


2.Stroller
I don't know about others but for us,stroller nie on the top of the list too.Maybe dah terlampau selalu tgk mat2 saleh nie with strollers kot.And with the very-petite-me,there's no way i could carry a 10kg baby pusing satu mall later.What we want is a compact fold 3 wheelers.

Dulu idaman hati was phil&ted,i know yg nie mmg bulky berat sgt but can't help it,suke sgt.Especially with the double kit that allows 2 kids to ride(hihi nak ade sorang dah pikir stroller for 2!) We both love this buggy that we tested it every time pegi Mothercare hahaha.Tapi saya kene menyedari diri ini ikan bilis that the buggy is too big for me,macam i sekali boleh dok dlm tue.So i doubt if i can manouevre it smoothly hahaha org tgk pon kesian kot ;p



So 2nd idaman hati,Quinny Zapp pairs up with Maxi Cosi.Like many others,i was charmed by its stylish look!I love the fact that it's one of the most compact stroller which is perfect for parents like us who've got small cars hihi.But but its lack of recline feature has hold me back.I'm afraid later the sleep part will be a problem.Well,surely the sleepy baby(or toddler) couldn't get comfortable in the upright seat kan?Any Zapp users with this sleeping problem?
So our other choice is Quinny Speedi,ok tak?But i don't think it's light-weighted pulak hmm hmmmm.
What do you think?Ke salah concept kami nie,budget for buggy dah exceed breastpump huhu.

3.Babybjorn-dah beli dah.Huby ckp he won't give up gaming,so kene ade sling la in case die kene babysit sambil main game huhu.I can imagine me busy cooking,he's with baby M main game,biarlah.And there's no way he's going to wear a baby pouch,so yg nie die dah beli siap2. konon nak jadi ayah cool camni la ye hubby?huhu

4.Rocker/Bouncer.ok yg nie seriously tak tahu nak pilih mana satu.Hubby ckp he read reviews fisher-price punya pon ade yg senang topple.pulak dah huuu help!! Ape lagi ye,rasanya tue jer kot yang kene beli before in laws dtg Augsburg,nak tumpang luggage diorang.I'm lucky that hubby pon sama excited survey baby's stuff nie.In fact,breast pump pon die yg tolong survey ;p.

Ok,update on the baby!I'm in my 18th weeks and i' glad the nausea nightmare had gone!So preggy mommies out there,just hang on in the first trimester tue k.I can still eat almost everything except 2 benda : daun kesum and ikan bakar dlm daun pisang.The rest is fine.But i forbid myself from eating too much,no such thing as eating for two for me.It's the quality of the food not the amount of it that you have to watch out,kan?But,if i want to,i have no problem pon nak makan nasi 3 or 4 kali sehari but will end up tido kekenyangan the whole day huhu,so not healthy,tak bleh,tak bleh!Craving pon tak ade except rambutan yg dulu tue,and few weeks back i asked for pisang emas.Huhu mak ckp nasib baik mengidam yg senang je ;p.Ade jugak rasa nak makan sushi and sashimi but i know eating raw food is unhealthy for the baby,so pandai pulak tahan hahaha,bukan craving but more to mengada2 kot huhu.So here is the latest image of baby M.Check up was done at the local pusat perubatan Islam in KB,most likely i'm gong to deliver here,anakanda nie akan jadi rakyat kelante la nie hehe.
Owh another note,when filling up the commencement form,under special request tue,i asked for a seat close to the stage,my reason; i will be 26 weeks pregnant by then,takot penat jalan jauh(the ceremony will take place at the the Royal Albert Hall,so rasa-rasanya mesti jauh kan kene jalan to the stage kan?pandai2 ;p)But bila dah submit rasa mengada pulak,ade ke org nak entertain such request hahaha maluuuu!!!
Baby M,this is me 4 years back,during my degree commencement,it was freezing cold but i insisted on wearing kebaya.This May you'll be walking the aisle with me okie dear?
Tak ade mood nak blog but 20 February is a special date for us,so i just have to write this down.

Happy 8th anniversary abg/hubby/yayang/dek!8 years ago!

Hahaha yerp i call hubby macam-macam,sesuka hati,sesedap rasa ;p
Eh no,no,bukan wedding but courtship anniversary ya,tak
ot ade yg ingat kami kawen umur 18+;p
Though there's no more fancy celebration for this
date and we have passed the stage of celebrating monthly anniversary,who could have forgotten the day you found out that your hearts are connected.In our case,the proposal day too.Yes,instead of asking me out for the first date,hubby terus asked me to marry him!Nervous sgt sampai ajak kawen;p
So there's no surprise when we really got married 4 years later.
Anyway,fast forward,these 8 years has been wonderful alhamdulillah and i am delighted that we are still in our honeymoon stage ngeh ngeh.May our bonds str
engthen and stay untarnished,aminn.

Okie,update on the baby.Alhamdulillah dah 14 weeks!
Normal ke your weight fluctuates in the 1st trimester?Kejap naik 4kg,
kejap i lost 1kg ;p.
Last checkup was 2 weeks ago and everything is o
k alhamdulillah.Nampak baby tgh happy swimming hehe.
Hubby has decided the name,it's either baby M or baby H.
The naming criteria is simple;hubby wants all of his children to have meaningful single and simple names because he wants them to be called by their full names,bukan macam nama mama yang panjang nie yer,last-last panggil Ami or Mie jer ;p


And baby M/H,look what is your father goin
g to get you!He said you have no choice but to join him with the Reds.Meluntur buluh biar dari rebungnya?ish ish mangsa keadaan.
