Sneeze Fest

The past 3 days have been challenging.

Came down with flu and non-stop sneeze fest on Monday afternoon. Sampai rumah terus melepet sampai malam. Mr. Chenta pepandai la jaga Afif aku dah takleh bangon.

Tuesday morning i woke up with an awful throb in my head, a fever and a nose full of snot that i could barely breathe without my mouth hanging open. Tissue papers full of snot around me. Not a pretty sight at all. Melepet all day. Sian anak aku mintak perhatian, ajak main, mintak nenen tapi tak berapa dilayan. i did not take any medications coz i'm worried it might affect the baby in my tummy.

Tengah hari tu gi klinik nak mintak ubat and MC. Doktor boleh kasi paracetamol je, vitamin B complex, ubat sakit tekak and nasal spray. Ubat selsema dia tak brani bagi katanya. She's really concerned coz my blood pressure is very low. 90/60. Katanya kalo low pon patut nya cannot go lower than 70 (nombo yang bawah tu). Takot blood flow ke baby tak cantik. Dia pesan soh banyak banyak minom air and rest. Of course la aku risau. 

Wednesday morning still demam, sakit kepala and hidung sumbat tambah plak ngan batuk. Cukup pakej. Pas makan roti, makan ubat. Still tak larat gi keje so aku gi klinik balik sebab nak mintak MC harini. Doctor check blood pressure lagi rendah drp semalam. 90/53 pulak. Seriously how do you elevate blood pressure? Ingatkan dapat la rest the whole day tapi dapat plak appointment alert kat phone for Afif's post-surgery follow up kat Sunway Medical. Gagahkan hati teman hubby and Afif pi check up. Lama la jugak petang baru settle. 

Here i am today at work. Tak larat dah nak MC sebabnye kalo dok umah pon still kene layan Afif ku sayang. Bertabah je la dok opis ni haa..

It's true what they say. There's no sick days for moms. Kalo dulu Afif kat umah babysitter dapat la jugak aku tido melepet bila MC. Ni sejak husband ku unpaid leave jaga dia, kalo MC pon aku kene melayan. Tak dapat bayangkan camne la full time housewife rasa bila sakit still kene jaga anak.

All in all, i'm just praying that baby in my tummy will not be affected by my fever and blood pressure.

Bun in the Oven: Round Two

As the title suggests, i'm PREGNANT, peeps!

Been meaning to blog about it for a while but mannn tak terkejar dek jari jemari ku.

Alhamdulillah. We're overjoyed by this!

Truthfully, ikot hati memang dah lama nak baby lagi. Sebabnya aku slalu rindu time pregnant. Umur pon nak masuk 3-series tahun depan. Tapi memikirkan dlu aku c-sect so cam lek ah duluuu..

Another main reason why we waited is because of Afif. He needs constant interaction with us to promote listening and speech development. Kalo ada adik, takot tak terbahagi masa. Based on my observation, parents lain yang dedicated memang tunggu 4-5 tahun sebelom konfiden nak beranak lagi. Ada sorang akak ni, sampai her deaf daughter tu dah 7 tahun, baru dia conceive balik. So we prayed hard. If having a little brother/sister will impact Afif's speech development, jangan bagi dulu. But if a lil' brother/sister could help him develop better (sebab ada kawan untuk dia main, sekali gus interact and improve bahasa), sila lah bagi skang.

Alhamdulillah, positive plak pregnancy test. Memang terkejot weh. We take it as a sign that it'll all be okay.

i'm well into my second trimester now. Gonna be 17 weeks on Wednesday.

 12th week ultrasound


16th week ultrasound.
Membesar bagai jaguh anak mama, baru 16 weeks but measured at 17 weeks already.

At 15 weeks of pregnancy.
Sempat gi concert Mariah Carey. Gigih!
Muat lagi jeans zaman baru grad uni. But i think it won't be long till i have to be in maternity clothes.

This time around, i took precautionary steps as soon as i found out i'm pregnant. Telan vitamin C bebanyak nak buff up immune system. Takmo demam panas especially in the first trimester cam masa pregnant Afif dulu. Ada jugak risau takot this baby pon kurang dengar cam abang dia but we're praying and hoping for the best.

Harap korang pon sudi lah doakan baby ni sihat sempurna, jadi insan soleh/solehah ye. Amin.
