For my own personal record....

Hmmm...haven't been writing for quite some time. Nak cakap busy with work, not really. But I guess most of my time on Internet is shifted to other places of interest. Well, we are planning to go on a holiday ('We' means the whole family). Somewhere 'over the sea', meaning which we are bringing the toddler and the baby naik plane. Crazy idea? Maybe. A cousin of mine told me that I've just sign up for Fear Factor : Parent's Edition. I've had a bad experience with Ashraff during our flight to Bandung. But, leaving them both (or any of them) makes our holiday meaningless. Thus, whatever it might be, we just have to face it. So, basically my surfing time is spent on reading reviews on where to stay, where to go, what to do etc, rather than blogging (and blog hopping).

But, after a long CNY break, I've decided to make an entry, just for my own personal record.

1. Aliff has made its first roll over on 8th February 2007. In the next two days, he tiarap again, and back on his back after a few seconds. And none of it, I was there to witness:( After those two occassions, dia dah tak buat-buat lagi, though he put an endless effort to try it again.

2. Ashraff is puting-less for two days in a row (starting 19th February 2007). Yippee! We told him that his pacifier ada banyak ulat colour black and immediately he believes us without even looking at his puting. Macam tak percaya it was that easy to convince him. It took him a while to sleep without his candu but he made it and I'm so proud of him. Of course, there's an element of bribery involved (I'd prefer to put it as reward-based). I promised to buy him a Blue Ranger (Power Rangers SPD) should he managed to remain puting-less for three days in a row...hehehe...

3. My menses are here!! (This happened 3 weeks ago). I am in great shock! I've been breastfeeding and pumping religiously day and night, but still...This was not the case with Ashraff. I'm period-less the whole time I breastfed him. I don't really mind about the menses thing, but this occurence has causes my "Milk Production Index" to drop. I don't know whether this is a coincidence or is it due to hormonal changes. Apa-apa hal pun, tensionnye!! Now, instead of twice pumping in the office, I had to do thrice.

4. I am currently suffering from a severe postpartum hair loss. Rasanya macam belum recover daripada hair loss waktu lahirkan Ashraff dulu, tetiba dah kena lagi another round of hair loss problem. My hair is thinning. I hate the way it looks, and feels. No choice but to cut it short.

Guess that's all. Back to work...Ahhh...malas je nak buat keje after a long holiday....

hi dear,

we brought hureen and hannan to jakarta-bandung-puncak-bogor trip last december. masa tu hureen was 2.4y.o, hannan was 11 months and i was 2 months preggy (tgh mabuk2) masa tu. mcm u kata la, nak tinggal dorang, sian pulak. so bawak jugak cuma we were 'lucky' sbb my parents nak ikut sama. So takla penat sgt coz my parents and my hubby rotated jaga them both and i relax je.

Ada gak few trips to share tapi panjang lak if i tulis kat sini. Anyway, it is easier when u r bf sbb takyah stop untuk buat susu n all. So bila u plan nak go for the trip?

nahhh breastfeeding is not a scientific way of family planning maa...i dah kena marah ngan gynae bila ckp gitu..i also orait2 60 days dah dpt menses...welll lain org lain style kot erkk..despite exclusively feeding efi until b4 i left pegi mekah...

surprsingly it wasnt that bad when we brought the boys "over d sea" baru2 ni. maybe cos d plane ride wasnt that long. tho the waiting time was cos delay berjam2.

hairloss...this time around not that bad, thank god. not that bad pun still berlambak lah tapi...

hot mama: My hair pun! Penat asyik keje nak nyapu je...

Hud2: That sounds interesting! I know it's tiring to bring them along (hari tu gi Cherating pun penat tak ingat), but it's worth it, esp bila tgk gambar, lengkap satu family:) We plan to go this September. Aliff will be 10 mo. Hope still bfeeds.

Haariz's mom: Gi mana? Rahsiaa...Nanti citer. Ashraff dah dpt Blue Ranger dia. Hari2 tuntut...

Mommamia: Baby nangis in the airplanelah is lah my utmost 'Fear Factor'. Nak ngangkut satu hal lagilah. About puting, irina isap all the time or waktu nak tido je? Ashraff associate puting with sleeping only, so i guess it's easier to wean him compared to those yg mmg pakai puting most of the times. Plus Ashraff dah 2 1/2 yo and he's the penggeli type, so bila we all told him puting ada ulat, colour black, banyak, dia terus refuse to even look at the puting. I don't know it was that easy to wean him off, but I'm grateful that he's finally puting-less. On Irina tu, dia tak ready lagi. Dia baru 2 tahunkan? Nanti bila dia dah faham sikit, u try lagi skali.

Nana: 'We' holiday mmg kena pakai banyak duit, but sementara dua ni, jalan dulu. Esok kalau ada pertambahan, lagi byk mahu pakai wang...'Just Us' holiday mmg best and more relaxing...

rafiqaheliza said...

kaezrin: Lamanya u bfeed efi! Ok tak dia bila putus bfeed? I don't intend to use bfeed as family planning (sbb sebelum dpt menses pun can get preggy), but more of like senanglah sebab tak period...Then again, my menses is still haywire. Kejap ada, kejap takde, like that.

eiseai: ha'ah, u rajin betul bawak budak2 tu jalan. I'm sure after sometime, they'll get use to flight jney and travelling. Eh, bestlah u tak byk hair loss. i ni tahap2 panic!

sat kenapa ada hair loss eh? tak paham.....

rafiqaheliza said...

Fina: Hang takdak masalah hair loss ka? Kalau takde, untunglah hang! Post-partum hair loss ni biasanya sebab ada perubahan hormon after giving birth, so rambut gugur teramatlah banyaksnya...gitulah lebih kurang. Utk keterangan lanjut, contact gynae hang...:)

ha! menses is back! careful! it means anytime boleh 'accident-lekat'..hehehehe..my mense is back 3 weeks after habis nifas and i am 100% on breastfeed.

wah, nak jalan mana ni? nak ikut!!!!

on hairloss, i am putting the hairtonic by de-wajah right now, the whole set of hair care.

rafiqaheliza said...

OO : Tulah pasal kena take extra precaution ni. Nak handle yang dua ni pun tunggang terbalik jadinya. De-wajah hair tonic ye? Alamak, terujalah pulak. Ok ke?
