Seeing double

Rozi, my cousin Jo's wife, delivered two days ago and now she's here, joining the confinement club. : ) How cool is that?? Having a buddy to go through this agony? Takdelah agony sangat, but it's still cool to have someone going through exactly what i'm going through at the moment. Although i must say, i pity her cos she went for ceasarian, which means she's in worst condition especially given that i'm already 2 weeks ahead of her. Looking at her made me really count my lucky stars la for not having to go through that procedure..and the healing process that sucks after that.

Anyway, the little one, named Nik Airil is a very handsome little thing. Hidung mancung, japanese eyes, and small thin lips.. He's heaps different when put next to Amir.. although Amir is handsome in his own way too ;)

The person who is most overwhelmed by this arrival is of course Mama. She's been upgraded from a nurse to a matron now, since she has two babies and two 'ibu berpantang' to handle. And she's doing really really well... i thought there's nothing more tiring than being a mother.. but she proves me wrong, cos wat she's handling now is simply out of this world.

Another interesting dynamic in the house is the daddies.. While i'm not trying to mengumpat anyone, my cousin, the new father of two now gave me another reason to be really gratefull for what i have, ie my husband, that particular one. It's one thing seeing them attending to their sons together, holding them so very carefully (ie awkwardly), comparing their features, level of noise, milk consumptions blablabla.. but it's another things realising how different they attend to the moms too. i'm just happy jazmi is not hooked on playstation, does not wait till second child to learn daddy stuff n understand that hanging around close to us is already a moral support on its own.
