I never had a changing table for my baby. Books i read suggested changing table, friends told me i should have one.. but I never did. Conventional...I just do it on our bed :D .. is that bad? I dont think so.. My baby seems happy lying and facing my face.. hahahahaha
Ziyad was admitted to Ampang Puteri last 2 days!!! Poor Ziyad, something has infected his lungs... hope he will recover soon. He has been discharged yesterday..alhamdulillah. let pray for Ziyad's well being.. ok
(p/s: this is a postponed entry) We had a great time at Ziyad's birthday bash... its great to be meeting with good old friends again.. with all the babies and kids. Zahraa seems to have a great time too...knowing aunties and friends. Happy birthday ziyad..hope you'll grow up being a healthy, happy kid ok...be a good boy..(oops .. sorry..auntie zoora bagi hadiah ziyad dah ada dah....)
I felt really bad. Yesterday my milk stash runs out. For tomorrow, I just have 3 oz left in the freezer. How hard I pump today, I'm not so sure they might be enough for tomorrow. Yesterday, as usual, i sent over 6 bottles of 2 oz to the nursery. But Zahraa ended crying in hunger by the end of the day. Plain water doesnt sooth her. I pity her, the caretaker mentioned that she was really hungry. So, for he first time ever, today, I sent over some formula (which the hospital gave, I havent chose any formula yet) just in case she went crazy crying in hunger. And I felt really bad, not able to supply enough for her, and she is not even 4 months yet.. My baby is growing.... I'm so sorry darling..... guilt was all over me.... isk isk isk
Just came back from the nursery...its still early and I already miss Zahraa so much... maybe because its Monday... hmm what a day..miss her, still...
zahraa learnt new stuff 2-3 days back.. , even having a fever.. she can hold her bottle herself, bringing it to her mouth. She can hold her toys, and also try to bring it to her mouth. She lifted both her legs swaying to the her side, trying to roll i guess..she kicks hard and bend her body when she wanted something or irritated. Just in a week, I am so happy with her. It is a mothers day gift for me, for my first mothers day. On this mothers day, I felt happy, grateful and eager looking forward for many more things to come.
