pap smear, checkup & pumping

i went to the clinic just now for 6 months checkup of hadzim.
and i asked the nurse to conduct the pap smear test.
tak sakit pon, cuma berdebar lebih sikit jek masa nurse tu nak buat test tadi, as i read at a friend's blog who claimed that - pap smear adalah sakit.

nurse: "posing mcm org nak beranak ok.."
me: "camne kak? saya ni beranak operation .. xtau nak posing gaya camne."
haha.

aku memang paling benci part kene kangkang depan stranger ni (experience - masa check nak bersalin dulu & this time for pap smear test plak). benci benci benci.

.

as for hadzim, gain another 500g (now at 8 kilos) & grown another 2cm (now at 76cm).
kene cucuk - mcm biasa "hekkk" sikit jek & terus tidur. memang boleh jadik triathlete nih :)

hadzim latest update - sekarang dah mengesot dgn lajunya, dah angkat bontot tinggi-tinggi & suka buat pumping mcm ni:

"yeahhh, dua ratus lapan .. dua ratus sembilan .. "

swim baby

I remembered i was at 5 when abah taught me on how to swim. abah used to bring us (my siblings & i) to public swimming pool on every weekend and we were charged about 50 cents/head to use the public pool. yes, all my siblings can swim very well. macam tu laa jadik anak askar. umur 6 tahun mmg dah kene campak dalam pool dah.

I am not a very-very good swimmer who can do all kind of swimming style, but I think I am good enough to survive whenever I was thrown into the sea, kecuali kalau ada jaws mcm cite jaws tu lain cite la.

then, I met my husband, who love to swim mcm I jugak. good chemistry.

after we got married, husband lagi gile swimming as he decided to join the Triathlon (later on - Iron man!). so whenever he got practices, tak kire siang malam, for at least once a week, I will have my swimming session too, until I reach my 8 months pregnant of hadzim. note: achivement at 8 months - still manage to do 50metres x 8 laps :) sampai tercungap-cungap tak cukup nafas, kadang-kadang dengan cramp kaki lagi.

as soon as we have hadzim in our life, we already make our "swimming plan" for him.

we brought hadzim for swimming as early as 3 ½ months. for the beginning, hadzim was introduced with the floaties. kenapa pakai floaties? to introduce hadzim with the water so that he will not afraid with the deep water & supaya dapat mandi dalam kolam dewasa dengan mak pak nya yang sibuk nak mandi jugak. owh - mak paknya terpaksa gilir-gilir jaga hadzim sebab ayah nak practice, ibu pon nak buat lap dia jugak hahaha.

hadzim & his floaties

so far hadzim has good chemistry with the water. from the moment he was born, he never cried bila mandi. maka bile masuk pool pon rilek je la. siap tak pakai baju (tak beli baju swimming lagi, cuma swimming pants je ada, heh teruk betul mak pak dia).

hadzim is now at 5 1/2 months. so far we had brought him to the pool for about 6 times (we always go to the pool on every weekend). i can see that he loves the water very much. kadang-kadang tu keluar laa suara excited dia. dah boleh kayuh kaki sikit-sikit as he trying to move towards me.

lepas swim, a bottle of milk must be prepared. mesti sudah lapar. feed him & dia akan terus tidur, pastu mak kene tunggu sampai ayah abis training pulakkk.

the next plan - to get this baby neck float for hadzim.

(source: yourbabycanswim.blogspot.com)

baby neck float

will try to figure out where could find this stuff. wanted to try on hadzim when he reach 6 months.

p/s alhamdulillah, walaupun hadzim mandi tak pakai baju, so far tak pernah lagi dia demam or selsema lepas swimming :)

f-i-v-e

my favourite boy turns to 5 months yesterday.
i think the biggest enemy to me right now is --- TIME.
can you move slower ..?




























































http://hadzimfaeiq.blogspot.com/
everything was recorded. i dont want to miss anything on everything.

can i transfer the increasing of the height to the weight..?

saya bawak hadzim pegi chekcup 5 bulan hari ni.
saya dah agak mesti bulan ni berat hadzim naik sikit jek.

skali timbang, berat hadzim cuma naik 400g. *mampus aku, selamat kene tiaw dengan kakak nurse jap lagi*

saya berdebar-debar masa menuggu nama saya dipanggil. macam nak amik result spm pulak.

dalam otak ni macam-macam pikir dah - apa salah saya sampai berat hadzim tak naik banyak. rasanya pikir ni lagi susah daripada pikir rumus termodinamik dulu.

pastu kakak nurse (nasib baik hari ni dapat kakak nurse yang tak berapa garang) dah start interview saya macam-macam. saya dah tak boleh nak cilok mana dah, akhirnye saya mengaku saya (dan jugak mak saya sebenarnya) sudah bagi solid food (Heinz food & home made blended potato) pada hadzim sejak 2 minggu yang lalu.

saya kene marah dengan kakak nurse. *ini yang saya paling suke klinik kerajaan. diorang sangat caring taw. kat klinik kerajaan, definisi marah = caring*
kakak nurse kata tak boleh bagi makan sampai 6 bulan. kenapa awak ni degil sangat? *ni saje tambah* susu saje sudah mencukupi sampai 6 bulan, lagi pulak kalau susu cap gantung. sebab bagi solid food laa berat dia jatuh.

"tp mak saya cakap dia lapa ..." *noted: hadzim dijaga oleh nenek dia. jadik percubaan tai-chi berlaku di situ*
nurse kata dia xlapa ... tu cuma assumptions orang tua zaman sekarang. kajian dah menunjukkan susu saje sudah mencukupi untuk baby sampai dia 6 bulan. *perbualan ditiaw oleh kakak nurse berlanjutan lagi. ye saya suke kene tiaw dengan kakak nurse. banyak info yang saya dapat*

bulan depan berat hadzim mestilah mencapai sehingga 8.2kilo. kalo tidak lemak ibu dia ni haa yang kene potong bagi kat anak dia. *saye suke jek*

lepas tu kakak nurse ukur panjang hadzim.
panjang hadzim bulan ni saje naik sampai 6cm (pengsan!), bulan lepas kepanjangan hadzim sebanyak 5cm.

3 bulan - 63cm
4 bulan - 68cm
5 bulan - 74cm

pengsan laa makkk kalo tiap2 bulan naik 5cm mcm ni. cukup lagi 20 bulan hadzim dah sama tinggi dengan ibu ayah dia.

nurse kata tinggi hadzim melampau-lampau (siap terlebih-lebih dari graf), tapi BMI hadzim ngam-ngam kat atas line selamat, sudah hampir ke yellow line *dah mcm biggest loser dah*

hurmmm. macam mana nak transfer kepanjangan kepada kelebaran eh ...?

tolonglah jangan panjang lagi untuk bulan ni. bagi berat lebih jek. anak mak dah cukup panjang dah.

lepas tu kakak nurse cucuk hadzim. hadzim rilek giler ala-ala macho xde bunyik langsung kuar masa kene cucuk. *gile machong anak mak*

lepas kene cucuk dia selamba tido dalam kete. dah macam kene inject dadah plak.

ni gamba latest budak makin memanjang, tapi tidak melebar.

lain kali buat mulut macam ni kalo ibu atau nenek suap makanan ok?

ni tidak, asyik mengangeee jek ..

hari ni feeling kekeluargaan lebih sikit jadik saya pon nak upload gamba terbaru family saya.
saje bosan.

desperately

hari ini langit kelihatan cerah sekali. tidak hujan seperti hari-hari biasa.
sesuai untuk beriadah.

setelah tidak berjogging hampir setahun (gile lamaaaaa), i have started my jogging routine after hari raya - it was after 2 months from my delivery day.
and i jog for at least once a week.

the 1st kilo was ok.
the 2nd kilo was looking good too.
but when i started for the 3rd kilo, i had this kind of pain at the operation area. slight pain. but after awhile,the pain went off. it has happened a few times.
so basically i always failed to do more than 2 kilos.

damn.
i wonder if the pain was the effect from the operation?
i desperately need a jog. for at least 5 kilos.
but i dont know how to overcome the pain.
is there any ..?

another 1 hour to go back.
the sky looking good to allow me to jog again for today.
lets see the result.

makan angin panas di Lumut

last weekend we spent our damn hot days at Lumut, Perak.
sebab hafdzuan the husband took part in Powerman Malakoff held in Sri Manjung.

this Malakoff event was the first time for him. he took part in sprint discipline--> run 5.5km - bike 30km - run 5km.
so untuk first time, test power kat sprint dulu laa. next year baru try yg long distance. tp next year i pn nak join jugak ... huhuhu. mana nak cekau 3, 4 ribu nak beli beskal ni .......... hopefully i can join such event too, before i reach 30 :)

we off from our place at 11am. arrived manjung at 3.30pm.
spent our night at Malini's apartment at Lumut. Malini is my friend back in uni time. she offfered her place to us that completes with bed & aircond (dah mcm dok hotel dah). bole laa save budget, hihi. tqvm mal!!! :)

malam tu g mkn ikan bakar kat Lumut. no photos. hadzim was on bad mood. nak makan pn susah. maybe sbb panas and dia asyik berpeluh. Lumut is freaking hot - day or night sama jek panas. nasib baik hotel free ada aircond :P

the next day (sunday), woke up at 5.15am & prepare some breakfast for hafdzuan. change hadzim's shirt & diapers. off to Sri manjung stadium at 6.15am.

arrived Stadium Sri Manjung at 6.30am. hafdzuan busy setting up his bike before check-in his bike in to transition area.

the organizer busy setting up the water station. hadzim setting up his morning mood too :)


warm up ye bang?

tak abis lagi warm up ye bang?

tengah amik feel plak ke bang?

those people for sprint & relay. spot him in the crowd?

after he starts his run, i went back to my car to bf hadzim as he started to make noise & demand for his milk.

then after 1/2hr, i went to bike-out station to snap some photos because hafdzuan will arrived at any time for his bike transition.

laju sket laa abang suar merah ...

30km bike started

... and i waited for Malini to fetch me to go for breakfast.

he will be back after 1hr bike and make his transition to run. i was not there. busy breakfast dan bergosip. hehe.

back to the stadium just on time. hafdzuan just arrived. aku perlukan camera mahal to captured the moment closely ... huhu.

bang, sini bang ... medal kat sini ... bini abang kat sana ..

"nah bang amik sijil ni .. ni ada sijil Powerman ni bleh demand gaji lebih tau .."



official result. for the first timer like him, the result is just amazing. yes im so proud of him :)

next year u jaga hadzim, i pulak masuk .. bole..?

powerman lumut = terbakar. panas weyy sini.

me & Malini-yg baik hati-ada apartment company bayar-depan laut-yg full furnished-ada ekon-siap bg aku duduk free lagi:)

family photo at Lumut :)

bergaya dengan medal. ewah ewah. your turn will be another 11 years ok?

gerak balik kl at 2pm. arrived at 6pm.

tido awal as monday - wednesday kene gerak awal, ada training kat ritz charlton, bukit bintang.

it was 7 habits training.

-update-

ye aku berlagak sbb dah ada cert 7 habits (bleh demand gaji lebih lepas ni).

i heart my boss very much who sent me to this training, not because the training is just so beneficial to practice (in daily life & working life), but because i can had my lunch at starhill restaurants for free. ngeh ngeh, nak harap duit sendiri g makan & shopping kat sana tunggu dapat gaji 30k dulu barulah layak g sana ;)

when the mom is not around ...

... daddy brought the baby to accompany him to watch the footbal game.

hadzim really have his eyes on the game!

patut laa arsenal menang malam kelmarin .. ada new supporter nampaknya.

run and swim

last sunday, woke up at 5.30am. prepare some breakfast for hafdzuan.
another run to take part.
change hadzim's diaper. did not bath him as it was too early and he was still sleeping. leave the house at 6.30am.

the event -Mizuno wave run. at UPM. 11km.

arrived at 6.50am. jauh gileeeee parking. dekat 2kilo menapak ke stadium UPM tu. thank god hafdzuan had his warm up by carrying hadzim all the way :)

hadzim just woke up. where the hell are we in this early morning..?


need to stretching up. owh, need to go to the toilet too before the run starts :P

the run starts at 8am. it was about 4200 contestant. ramai gile. dah mcm semut. couldnt find hafdzuan in the crowd to snap some photos. lepak di grand stand sahaja & enjoy the music played by the dj.

and hadzim, why on earth at this time kene berak ... sampai 2x plak tu within 1 hour?!?! hahaha. xpe, practice, practice.. selamba jek i bersihkan kat grand stand tu guna baby wipe yg byk (ye anak mak skali berak sampai 2kilo, bukan sikit-sikit). yg 2nd time tu dah xbleh blah dah, have to wait for hafdzuan.. ni pon 2kilo jugak, kene cuci bawah paip dah ni. haih ;)

when hafdzuan arrived, i tengah terhegeh-hegeh baru nak snap photo ... dengan carry hadzim lagi. nak snap photo lg ... sorry for the bad photo. hafdzuan the one with the cap.

quenching the thirst.

he was at no 112 (over 4200. not that bad eh?)

even terbaik utk tahun ni. byk gile sponsor... 2 thumbs up for the organizer! i hope i can join it next year..!

ok now its your turn to carry him .. bahu mak dah nak tercabut dah ni .. :P

a must! :)

tengok kat blakang ramai giler lagi runner baru sampai ...

the medal to add into the collections

aktiviti petang - swim!!!

just bought a floaties for hadzim. so lepas ni every weekend bole pegi swimming mcm dulu-dulu :)

hafdzuan cuba menjadi coach. hadzim tidak mendengar arahan dari coach.

trying to loveeee the water

tangan dah kecut tp macam tak nak naik

it was a fun day. and tiring of course;)

going to bring him for swimming on every weekend since hafdzuan also need to train.

the next event to attend - Powerman duathlon at sri manjung, Perak on 8nov.

melentur buluh

yesterday we went to swimming pool at putrajaya, the place that we used to have our swimming session. mcm biasa laa, weekend - mesti ramai org. i did not swim yesterday since i need to look for hadzim. gian jugak tengok pool. rasanya dah dekat 5bulan tak swim ... :(

so yesterday was marked as hadzim first day in the swimming pool. we were trying to get him loves the water & get used with it. senang nak ajar berenang nanti. ayah dia dah tak saba-saba dah nak hantar hadzim ke triathlon kidz. hehe.

hadzim nampak mcm suke dgn air walaupon mata dia asyik meliar sana sini usya budak-budak lain yang buat mcm-mcm stunt kat kolam cetek tu. saba ye hadzim. dah dapat kaki nanti pegi laa buat stunt jugak.

hadzim and his swimming pants which i bought rm5 (its speedo) before he came out

we let him play with the water for about 20min, before i re-bath him and have a sit to wait for his ayah who have to perform his swimming training.

then i saw a lady with her husband, who carrying a 1year+ baby. the baby looks like a girl -with a long curly hair & wearing a necklace. but i was confused, if its a girl - why dont the parents put a shirt on her, malu laaa xpakai baju. kesian baby tu (dalam hati).

after a while, she came to my place to take her things & say hi to me.

and the coversation begins.

the lady: "baby boy yerk?"

me: "aaah boy .. ni girl eh?"

the lady: "ehh ni boy jugak .. tp orang ingat dia girl sbb rambut dia kerinting & panjang ..."

me: "owh, ingatkan girl ............." but the conversation continues silently "aku ingat anak kau girl bukan sebab rambut dia panjang, tapi sebab dia pakai rantai laaa..!"

and i remembered i saw a friend's photo with his 3months baby boy who wore a bracelet. wOw.

people do have their own style to "implement" to their children. and the children becomes the material experiment for their parents.

but i guess, how the children behave is how they are treated to.

sebab tu org kata, melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya".

hurm

Raising Hadzim on his first 3 months

10 notes the way i raised my hadzim.

~ milk: i berjaya menyusukan hadzim from his very first day & he sucks very well. macam keluar-keluar jek dari perut terus pandai. belajar masa dalam perut lagi kah? heheee. he is now a non-exclusive BM product. but i can proudly said that he is 9/10 BM. at the moment, waktu siang (sahaja) dia minum 20 oz (pengsan!). since i always failed to produce 20 oz/day (normally about 15-18 oz), so balancenya terpaksa di top up dgn FM. malam direct BM.

~ sleeping position: hadzim tido meniarap. dari dulu sampai sekarang. and he did not sleep in buai. buai is a NO for him.

~ sleeping time: hadzim pernah sekali je buat perangai di waktu malam, masa dia dalam pantang. tupn sebab perut kembung, menangis until 2am. tu jek laa. lepas tu sampai sekarang tak pernah lagi suruh ayah ibu dia oti malam-malam :)

~ poo-poo & diapers: hadzim never fail to poo-poo every single day from the first day he was born. during his 1st month - 4~8times/day. 2nd month - 3~6tomes/day. and currently at 3 months - at least 2times/day. since hadzim berak banyak kali dalam sehari, so we decided to use the cheapest diapers for him at home. i think i have tried all the cheapest brand (including tesco!) and it works well on hadzim. alhamdulillah, diapers rashes pun tak de eventho pakai pampers murah. jimat duit mak. pampers mahal standby utk weekend & jalan-jalan sahaja.

~ rashes: hadzim has never get any rashes so far. alhamdulillah. name it - diaper rashes, ketiak rashes, kelengkang rashes, necking rashes, etc. mmg takde. sampai ada org tanya "cantiknye kulit dia, xde rashes pun, makan apa masa mengandung dulu?" if only i have the answer.. but i could not think what have i ate! byk sgt ... ;)

~ mittens: hadzim did not use mittens once he reached 40 days. i read somewhere "dont get your baby wear mittens after 2 months, because the baby learn from their touch", and i strongly believed in that. kene rajin potong kuku hadzim kalau tak nak dia ter-scratch muke dia. wearing mittens is not the solutions.

~ warm water: hadzim bath with warm water during his first 2 months only. lepas tu belasah jek air sejuk. and i think he likes the water very much. tak pernah nangis kalau mandi. mungkin sbb ibu dia swimming while carrying hadzim until he's 8 months?

~ aircond: yup, the parents adalah sgt kedekut nak bayar bil bulan-bulan yg konfem mahal so terpaksalah hadzim tido with no air-cond. peluh sikit laa kadang-kadang, tapi baby mana tak tido berpeluh kan?

~ pacifier: another NO for hadzim. i dont see the purpose of using pacifier.

~ football: hadzim suke tengok bola!!! ni ayah dia yg ajar ... and now his ayah is training him to cheer on arsenal, not for chelsea never for liverpool. hehe.

i guess hadzim is one easy baby to handle. eventhough he did not came out naturally from the womb, but im glad he got the natural behaviour for a baby.

love him? definitely, and its eternity.

bold tapi masih lagi hemsem

as promised (hafdzuan & i made the promised - hadzim akan dibotakkan hanya selepas bergaya di hari raya version rambut lebatnya), hadzim dibotakkan pada hari raya ke-8.

"Islam menggalakkan amalan mencukur rambut bayi sehingga botak supaya segala kekotoran yang keluar daripada rahim dapat dibuang dan membolehkan rambut baru tumbuh dengan sihat."

before

final photo before off to the barber.

tak berani buat sendiri sbb rambut Hadzim banyak.

in-progress

ayah was holding hadzim all the time.

hadzim was on silent mode, maybe wondering what was happening.

good boy hadzim!

after

ayah sambung cukur-sehingga-licin kat rumah.

tiada kecederaan berlaku. good job ayah!
