Sakitnya bersunat!!

Mika telah berjaya disunatkan pada usia 66 hari.. Sedikit terlambat disitu tapi still aku nak cakap "weeeeee, anak teruna mummy dh besar!" huhuhu
Aku tak pernah berhajat pun nak sunatkan cik adik sayang ni awal2, mainly because aku mummy yang over!! Dah terbayang nak buat majlis yang ada berarak2 tu la kononnye (poket nipis lagi ada hati nak buat majlis besar-besaran!). Bila en suami kata nak sunat awal, of course i said "NO!"
Tapi bila pikirkan en suami saya seorang penakut lemah semangat dalam bab2 sunat ni, risau pulak kalau trait tu jatuh kat Mika.. Mana tumpah kuah kalau bukan ke nasi kan? Terbayang plak aksi pujuk memujuk or worst acara aci kejar nanti lagi haru jadinye :p pastu pulak si #tet# cakap xpayah la kesian baby kecik lagi, terus aku tukar fikiran! Dan2 tu aku setuju nak sunatkan~
Mula nak buat kan Umra tp Dr Rafi cam reluctant nak buat, katanya nanti xde memory si Mika ni.. Then bila kami insist nak jugak, dia suruh tunggu sebulan.. Hence the delay!! Pastu bila tanya je xde sapa nak entertain kami, terus google cari tempat lain. 1st choice pusrawi tp bila call xde orang nak entertain jugak weekend..
Hasil bacaan web susuibu.com, dapat tau Pusat perubatan Naluri ada jugak khidmat khatan, doc diimport from Pusrawi.. So call terus buat appointment tuk last Thursday~



Mika busan tunggu doc sbb xsabar nak sunat!
Aku telah dipaksa masuk oleh en suami (takut la tu nak hadap sorang2).. Doc tu suruh aku duk tepi sebab takut aku nangis muahaha pesan 20x kot jangan nangis~
Mika pulak mula2 sengih2 je kene agah ngan daddy, tp lepas kene bedung dah berbunyi~ bila doc cucuk bius kat bird dia, terus pegi high volume sambil geleng-geleng pala xnak sunat! Sepanjang nak tunggu kesan bius, melalak la si kecik tu!! Bila doc dok snip2 kat bawah tu pun dia melalak, geleng2 macam sakit sangat!! Padahal marah orang bedung and tak dukung and pujuk dia~ sebak jugak aku tgk dia melalak2 camtu tapi aku diam je kot2 termenangis kang xmacho pulak! Nak dekat 20 minit jugak dia melalak camtu sampai tersedak2.. Keluar je bilik doc, semua patient lain pandang2 hihi Mika pulak teresak2 menangis~ sedih la kot.. Sumbat botol pun merepek2 lagi marah benor dia!! Malam tu Mika sedikit moody and mengada2, minta gayut lebih lama (balas dendam la nih!)~
Esoknye Mika dah back to normal, ceria macam selalu dah telah bertukar menjadi superhero malaya.. Mikaman!!!



p/s: Mikaman tengah sibuk berperang dengan mata dikala blog ni ditulis!
p/ss: Mikaman dah nak masuk sekolah Khamis ni.. Mummy happy tapi sedih haihhh~

Baby Language!


This is something worth sharing.. for the parents and parent-to-be out there, hope this is helpful!! I've tested below language on my boy and it works like 50% of the time, maybe because Mika read the wrong book while he's in my womb! haih~


p/s: kadang-kadang he combines a few words in one sentence.. cam eh eh eh.. nehhhhh nehhhh ngekk ngekk.. apa la budak nih... so tatau la yang mana satu dia nak kan..

BF Diary: The Beginning

When I found out that I was pregnant, I did lots of reading on the don’ts and do’s. My main research was on breasfeeding. I was surrounded by bf-ing mothers and have read enough of successful stories, so dah set in my mind to fully breastfeed my baby~
Malangnya, despite all my research.. I still have rocky start. First day after Mika’s arrival, I was too tired and sleepy sebab I was given a dose of pethadine during my labor (which doesn’t reduce the pain pun though I managed to doze off for a few minutes in between my contractions)! On the way to my room, dorang letak Mika on my chest for a while, and all I can do is to smile at him and belai rambut diab yang lebat! I did tell the nurse that I want to feed him tapi dia suruh aku tido dulu. While I was sleeping, they gave FM to Mika.. pfftttt!! Lepas tu Mika slept all day long sikit pun tanak susu. Aku try jugak sua miss B with the nurse help tapi Mika tidur keras!
The same thing happened on the second day!! They fed him FM before sending him to my room and there’s no sign of milk. Time ni tak sabar nak balik dah, cause aku nak cepat-cepat berurut. Miss B pun dah start mengeras. Unfortunately for me, aunty aku yang suppose to massage me is not feeling well so we have to postponed the massage session. By this time, I was feeling soo frustrated because I have to continue to feed Mika with FM.
Hari ke-4 baru la nampak bayang susu lepas berurut, walaupun sebelah je. Excited giler, aku terus sua kat Mika. Sakitnya tak payah cakap la since he didn’t latch properly. Aku pun tak berapa pandai lagi, so agak merana la nak menahan sakit! The same night, I started to pump because Mika was sleeping all the time. Nak gerak tuk feeding pun tak berjaya. Alhamdulillah, dapat la jugak dalam 1 setengah oz. Then urut the other side sebab nak kasi keluar jugak. Berkat kesabaran and kegigihan aku dan hubby, the same night keluar jugak susu. Hasilnye hampir 3 oz jugak berjaya diexpress!! Pastu I managed to spill some milk pulak, rasa nak menangis je time ni!
For the next 2 day, we start to mix formula with EBM. I have started to pump every 2 hours to increase my milk supply so boleh la fully bf. Penat giler ye pump every 2 hours around the clock but to ensure Mika get the best, ku tabahkan hati bangun pagi buta then spent one hour to pump. Nasib mak ada, so siang boleh la jugak ganti tido.
Hari yang ke-tujuh, Mika dah fully on breastmilk through bottle sebab my nipples hurt like crazy tak sanggup nak kasi direct kat dia. My aunt dah bising-bising, cakap biar la berdarah pun I have to direct feed my baby. Normal katanya. Haruslah aku ignore the advice, takut karang aku terus stop satu hal pulak. Plus I’ve read a lot on breastfeeding kan, so haruslah aku tau yang it won’t hurt if your baby latch correctly. Puas aku search online camne nak latchkan baby correctly. Lepas seminggu, aku gilir-gilirkan bottle and direct so that nipple ada masa nak heal in case of incorrect latching. By this time, my milk supply has stabilized so that I started to freeze some. Sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit, ye tak?
After two weeks, mak balik leaving me alone to take care of the little one. Hubby pun dah start keje. Sebab tak biasa lagi, aku terkejar-kejar nak settlekan semua benda. Time nak pump pun limited, so I have to reduce my session to every 4 hours. After a week of this strenuous routine, start la ada problem with my milk supply. Disebabkan aku terlampau stress and penat, susu tak nak keluar sangat so stock merundum menambahkan stress. Aku pun mula la research camne nak keluarkan susu sampai la aku kene bengkak susu yang sangat sakit tak ingat. Berjalan pun sakit ok! Last resort, pegi for another massage session with my aunt. Lepas berurut, mencurah-curah keluar but then bila balik and pump.. bluergghh still tanak keluar.. menangis2 aku sambil mengepam!  Lepas tu, both breast take turn pulak bengkak susu. This week kiri, next week kanan. Sangat mencabar minda!!
Now, 2 days away to 2 months.. Alhamdulillah milk supply amat menggalakkan although takde la macam setengah orang sekali pump sampai berbelas oz, aku dapat 5-7oz pun dah bersyukur~rezeki Mika la ni and hopefully this continue for the next 22 months, amin~ bengkak susu tu still ada occasionally but I now have a husband who knows how to massage my breast, tak payah nak pegi berurut ke Kajang lagi.. hahaha boleh jadi mak bidan dah ye cik abang? tak sanggup nak massage breast sendiri time bengkak susu sebab it's really painful, keluar air mata tahan sakit!!
Sekarang ada dilemma lain pulak.. I don’t have enough space to store my ebm! My freezer dah penuh and hubby dah bising sebab dia takde space nak ikan ayam segala.. muahahah freezer telah dikidnap oleh Mika sepenuhnya!!



p/s: orang kata nak seribu daya, tak nak seribu dalih~ aku bersyukur sebab aku masih mampu bertahan walaupun macam-macam ujian datang, Alhamdulillah! setengah orang macam senang je menempuh alam breastfeeding ni, you guys are soo lucky~!
p/ss: Terima kasih cik abang sayang~
p/sss: to all mommy-to-be out there, be prepared and kuatkan semangat sebab it's not an easy journey. Jangan give up ok!!

LittleWhiz.com

punyalah excited sebab parcel from LittleWhiz.com dah sampai.. last Monday dorang ada buat warehouse sale so Autumnz double zip lock tu jadi sangat murah.. ok mahal sikit from the Expo kat midvalley, tapi hari tu aku pandai sangat beli 4 kotak je perasan macam boleh tahan lama 4 pack tu.. sekali dua minggu dah habis satu pack.. memang tak cukup la nampaknya kalau nak menunggu the next expo! so nak tak nak terpaksa la stock up lagi. so bila tengok sale kat LittleWhiz terus aku order yang 6 packs for RM55..
bila aku track order, estimate time should be 1st Dec. tapinya hari ni baru sampai.. tak efficient langsung.. sanggup postponed plan nak tidurkan Mika sebab nanti delivery sampai kang terbantut usaha~ Mika tidur je (lepas 2 jam berdodoi and minum susu!) terus aku buka kotak.. TADAAA~~

salah barang daa.. terus aku double check order aku kot-kot aku yang tersalah click kan..
sah-sah aku order zip lock kan!! heee bengang aku.. terus aku call dorang pastu apek tu boleh blur-blur plak bila aku cakap dia salah hantar barang.. dia suruh aku send email pulak.. nasib baik dorang akan datang to collect bottle ni.. kalau dia suruh aku pos, memang nak kene maki la kan..

p/s: pandang rendah kat littlewhiz.com..

Maternity & Children Expo

Semalam Mika pegi shopping lagiii!! Kali ni Mika ke Midvalley pulak tuk serbu Maternity and Child expo.. Awal-awal lagi kami memang dah ada list barang yang nak beli~ tujuan utama adalah untuk memborong diapers murah!! Before pegi berharap sangat ada booth Whoopee sebab aku suka diaper tu.. Murah pun murah!!
Seawal 6:00am aku bangun sebab cik abang kecik tu lapar.. Lepas tu sambung mengepam.. Then sambung tido kejap sementara en suami mandikan and kemas bag Mika.. Kul 9 baru mummy bangun buat breakfast hihi bahagia kalau tiap hari camni!!
End up pukul 11 baru sampai and by this time pun orang dah ramai.. Ada yang dah on the way balik!! Terus masuk expo hall tanpa usha list booth yang ada~ sangat tidak bijak!! Hasilnya buang masa berhimpit dekat booth-booth yang tak mampu menaikkan napsu shopping aku~!
masuk hall 2, jumpa booth pureen.. Aku grab barang-barang dalam list jek. Wet wipes, then tambah with bottle cleanser sebab selama ni pakai berus je susah ya amat nak hilangkan minyak-minyak lemak dalam bottle! Then nampak t-shirt comel yang i can't resist! Ops~


pastu terus lompat ke hall 3.. Buat pit stop kat booth mamy poko.. Tadi usha lampein and chicool brand tapi cam tak berbaloi sebab mahal for unknown brand camtu.. Plus material dia takleh lawan whoopee!! Takde plan pun nak beli mamy poko sebab sedia maklum harganya mahal, TAPI bila tengok pack S48 dia dalam RM25 je aku jadi teruja!!! Sama harga cam pureen premium~ terus decide nak beli 4packs tapi queue dia panjang gile and the diapers are selling fast.. Mula-mula macam takde harapan nak dapat sebab tinggal 7 packs je tapi alhamdulillah.. Rezeki Mika, akulah last customer yang grab the last 4 packs itu!!


Dapat bolster tuk as free gift


Lepas nampak booth Autumnz, which is our last destination for the day sebab tak jumpa myBBstore.. Mika dah mengamuk and tak cukup tangan nak pegang barang~ kat Autumnz aku grab barang as per list.. Ice pack and cooler tote, storage bottle yang amat murah (sampai rasa nak borong tapi tak cukup cash and ATM is soooo sooooo far!!), zip lock storage, nursing bra and sleep bra (murah giler jugak)


Cuma terkilan tak dapat borong whoopee and tak jumpa booth myBBstore and fabulous mom.. Ke memang takde eh?
Last but not least, anak teruna kami yang banyak akal and teriak kuat gile kalau nak susu cam setahun tak kasi makan!! Malu i~


p/s: rambut Mika dah tobek tapi tak sempat nak g cukur lagi.. Nasib tetap comel anak mummy nih!!

Just the two of us!

It's been 34 days since i gave birth to Mika.. Blog pun dh bersawang.. I've been so busy with confinement and of course taking care of the little one :)
I've decided to stay in KL for my confinement.. Malas mau balik, kesian nanti cik abang tu tinggal sorang, then dia nak kene berulang alik plak, kesian nanti baby Mika tak kenal daddy and the most important excuse i have is "nanti kene berjaga malam sengsorang melayan Mika" tettt!! Don't get me wrong, i loves si kecik itu to bits tapi bila dia buat perangai xnak tido and nak bergayut 24/7, plus the pain i felt while breastfeeding makes me loose my patience sometimes... So i need someone there to cool me down~ 
budak nakal
Mak was here to help for the first 2 weeks, daddy was on leave for 2 weeks so i have plenty of help during the first 2 weeks! Xde la drama bagai except for one or maybe two minor breakdown~ ehehe drama queen!!
Satu when breastpump stops working lepas cik abang do some modification to it, nak kasi double pump la konon!! Then cause stress susah nak membuang dicampur dengan macam2 pantang larang yg tak masuk akal whatsoever~
Lepas mak balik, i have to take care of Mika all by myself~ daddy dh start keje!! Owh sangat anxious sebab i doubt myself.. 2 minggu rileks2 siap boleh tdo petang selama beberapa jam to recharge.. Then i have ample time to pump so sangat heaven disitu.. Bila dah sorang2, berkejar nak settlekan semua benda!! Bak tdo sejam pun bertuah la kalau dapat!! Nak pump pun jadi stress sbb Mika memang selalu mengade2 time aku mengepam!!
Stress level aku pun menaik dengan jayanye.. So banyaklah episode2 drama queen dari aku especially on the 4th week itu.. Disebabkan stress, sessi mengepam stock pun failed big time.. Selalu leh dapat max 8oz and min 4oz.. Time2 gawat itu nak dapat 3oz pun bercinta wey!! Tambahlah stress cik kak ni~~ risau and bengang, susu ada tp xleh nak pam!! Kene suruh daddy urut2 badan baru kuar.. Imagine!! Sangat horror..
Tapi itu minggu lepas.. Sekarang dah ok balik although tak semeriah dulu.. Boleh la nak dapat 6oz.. Sebab daddy mandikan Mika before pegi keje while mummy mandi and breakfast.. So takla terkejar2 sangat.. Cuma kesian tengok anak teruna sembelit!! Sebab jamu rasanya~ so mummy dah ucap selamat tinggal to jamu!! (tapi perut buncit lagi.. uwaaaaaa~) bila boleh start berlari nih??
Ok dah.. Bye

p/s: ilah pun dah selamat deliver baby Ayden sehari selepas Mika keluar..
p/ss: ita plak selamat deliver baby Alisha on the same day baby Mika was born!! Mummy birthday sama, anak pun birthday sama!! Sila inform bila nk buka production lagi so aku pun leh stary jugak hihihi
p/sss: reen pun selamat deliver baby hasya 30 Oct aritu!!

Fugaku-Fuketsu Lava Cave

Japan! @ Day 6 - Special Entry 
[Fugaku-Fuketsu Lava Cave]

Introduction:
"FUGAKU-FUKETSU (wind) LAVA CAVE" is one of the representative lava caves of the Fuji foot of a mountain. The cave which became these two tunnel types was made by the lava flow on the occasion of the eruption of Mt. Fuji of 1130 years ago. After receiving specification of the natural treasure of a country, it is introduced globally, and it has become a precious existence on geology.

"FUGAKU LAVA CAVE" is a characteristic that wind goes through by difference of temperature and the wind pressure of an entrance and the exit of the cave. It is cold even during summer when entering the inside cave. Normal temperatures are three degrees. Till the early stages of Showa, it was used for storage of the egg of a silkworm as a natural refrigerator.

The total extension of a cave is 201m and height is 8.7m. Mysteriously, the sound doesn't echo internally.

Source: GEOCACHING

Along the way to the Lava Cave, I saw signboards showing 0oC with of course Japanese language which I cant understand at all. Deep in my heart, its kinda funny when the outside temperature was around 24oC and they didn't change the temperature on the boards :D We reached to this souvenir shop at the parking area and still the big signboard showing 0oC. (and I didn't ask the Japs about that...)

Nearby, there was a signboard of Fuji Five Lakes Guide map and u can see where we were!

 This is the Fugaku-Fuketsu Lava Cave signboard

From the souvenir shop, we had to walk around 5mins towards the entrance. 

We passed by these naturally made geographical surroundings... It was really nice day and weather..

This is the entrance of the cave, which we had to pay some Yen to get in :D

Another signboard in Japanese...

The history of this Lava cave is described here..

Cave entrance...once we descended down the stairs, I felt that the air became colder and colder....so mysterious..

 The notice board..now in multilingual

We descended further in the cave and the temperature suddenly changed! It was very cold in the cave and I kept thinking of the 0oC signboards from before! LOL! I talked to Kodama San (the Japs in Black Blazer) with the tone, "No wonder u use the blazer...." and he just smiled at me..

It was cold in the cave and I still holding my camera with the flash turned ON.

 And amazingly we reached to this gated area covering the ice pillars in this cave. So unbelievable! I wonder how this ice still standing with outside weather was nearly summer?? No wonder this cave was so cold!

The barricade to protect the ice pillars from visitors

 More ice pillars...

Now u can see me!

Then, there was another gated area with more Japanese signs..(owh I really dont care bout the signages!)

Inside the area, there were silkworms kept in the tins (like biskut jagung punye tins) with some illustration for those who Japanesely blind, like me!

 Here, they also kept some seeds (i dunno what seed and why it is so special to be kept here) and with some more illustrations..

We had to u-turn to go back to the cave entrance. OTW out, I snapped more photos of the ice pillars...cos it was so cool~~

 We met this group of Japs Kids just arrived to the cave...

 Outside, I saw this sign with understandable language describing that this cave is one of the Natural Monument

 This board is the illustrated map of the lava cave..

 This might be the lava from Mt Fuji eruption...(i guess so..)
 
 The souvenir shop...and I didn't buy anything from here, sigh....

 Now I believed that the signboard was true!

The ice cream shop...vanilla and corn flavoured, yummeh!
