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.

A whole new world

Hi world,

Yeah, i decided to blog again. My life has turned out to be more exciting now so that's why.
I'm now a mother of a chubby little boy. Gave birth to him on 23 July 2007, 9pm at UMSC.
Am now at parents house for my confinement (read : house arrest).

Many things has happened since the little one, Amir Yusoff arrived. In fact, since he was conceived, there were many things i wanted to blog about but never got around to do it.
During that 9 months period, lying on my bed berkemban with aircond full blast right after returning from work seems like the best thing on earth. Plus i got hooked on solitaire on Jazmi's pda. That was way better than blogging, which i just cant seem to agree now.

Well, Amir Yusoff. We chose the name well in advance. I really liked the name "Amir" no matter how common and how ordinary it may sound. My cousin in Kelantan was amazed that we chose that name since according to him 'Kak Ying kan org moden, mesti nama anak jenis glamer2'..hmm.. Well anyway, I was carrying Amir while on this leadership program, so he had to go through a lot with me then, hence 'Amir' (ie leader/king/head) and Yusoff is his great granpa's name, a way to win papa's heart (now a.k.a Tok Pa), although he already melted when he first saw his first grankid.... (spoil brat alert!)

Amir's a gem. He eats A LOT. But he wont breastfeed cos mama got some 'equipment issues'.. wont elaborate just yetlah. Been turning to Hetz (who is also a mom now!) and few other moms to gain support. One of the suggestion, quite unanimous one, was to talk about it as much as i want to, just to avoid depression. Well.. here I am.

Before i wrote this entry i spent few hours reading some of the old posts.. till way back to 2002.
Wow.. from an oversea student desperate for love (muahahaha), to a new exec eager to settle down (pathetic man), to a typical employee bitching abt work and ppl at work, then a wife..
and now a mom..

All I have to say is.. thanks a lot to the person who invented blogs and thank you Blogger for keeping it alive and free : )
