Our Song :)

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
Through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love

Isn't she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That's so very lovely made from love

Berpantang

Someone should have warned me. Confinement period is 1000x more torturous than labor! My confinement lady is my worst enemy right now. I loath all the practice during confinement. Seriously, who on earth could survive this? I am very contemporary in this kind of stuff, I am not that keen of all the paku benang tiup pupus thingy. But as long as it is not against syarak and my body still can take it and it's not ridiculous, I will try to adapt. Alright, ginger to expel wind, fine, I can eat it for the whole of my confinement but other superstitious thing like you have to give away GOLD if your infant poo during mandi, wth? I am not being boasty, am being rational. Anyways, I follow the meal regime religiously, for now, I have my breakfast, lunch and dinner on time and they are full meal as in rice and dishes. So far, my favourite dish is Pusuk Aruk Leyak Bawang Putih (Anchovies with Ginger and Garlic). My routine, would be breakfast, massage (bertapal), BFing Ayra, Lunch, BFing Ayra again, bertapal again and very early dinner at 6. It's easy to be strict on diet when there's someone is really looking after your mealtime.. 

For the supplement, I use Amway Post Natal set and so far, I have nothing to complain, my body suits the herbs and supplements very well.

I hope I can go through this confinement period, seriously it's boring and tormenting!

Mak makes me it in tray :/

Story of My Delivery Part 2 The Arrival of Ayra Maysaa

I was admitted to the labor ward at 11pm. I was already 5cm dilated. There, my painful episode began. The nurse inserted the most painful thing ever, ubat berak, up until now, my labor would be the easiest experience ever sans this ubat. Argh..

I literally plea to my husband to refuse that stupid ubat. After that I was asked to change into the labor gown and IV drip and CTG machine were then fixed.

The doctor expected another 4 hours for full dilation, and I napped while B was beside me to monitor my condition. At 2 am, I began to feel mild contractions. :/ and by then I was 7 cm dilated. Deep in my heart, I hope I can do this because I don't want to be induced with Pitocin. At 3am, the pain worsen. I was shaking and I think it's time. Yup, I was right, at 330am, I was fully dilated and the pushing game began. Despite my pregnancy was all smooth since month 1 up to the pushing part, this was when my greatest fear occured! I got a furious midwife! But as long as B was there with me, come what may! hahaha

Alhamdulillah, at 345am, my gem Ayra Maysaa was safely delivered into this world. B kissed me and miraculously all the pain disappeared! I had my princess for a while and I was all smiles! I felt so relieved, in love and thankful.

She was then cleansed, and like other parent would act, B impatiently looked for his daughter and brought her back to her mommy, all clean and wangi :) After I kissed her and took a good look at her,B then recited Azan and Iqamat to our precious gem. 

Would I go this excruciating experience again you'd ask? 

Definitely!!Worth every del unit of pain I felt. 

Now I appreciate my Mom even more, and for men out there, please appreciate all women in your life! All the pain in the world, yet they have no problem making it again and again.

I admit, I am timid through out all this, I am thankful B is with me through out all procedures, (since he is a staff, he is allowed to conduct any procedure and monitor my condition all by himself), I have my parents who made the path easy for me, yup, I manage to nudge all the sayings that delivering in government hospital is tormenting, yet I had a fantastic team all through out!! My sisters, in laws , friends and last but not least, Sophie Rose Medina who envisioned me strength.

He's all tired and worn out :/

Pain3x!!

SVD- the most precious term on this board, yeah I made it!!

Story of My Delivery...Part 1

On my 39 weeks and 5 days, I went for my weekly check up as usual at Klinik Pakar. Never that I expected I am then ordered to be admitted the next day because the specialist refuse to grant another post 10 days after my EDD.

Day 1

On the 10th of May, I registered at 10 am, accompanied by Mak and B. I admit it, i felt so helpless and dependent and scared I wanted B to be with me along the way. Upon admission, CTG and VE were performed and I was already 2cm dilated. (sila google apa shotpom2 tu ye.. hehe)

So, the waiting game began. I was admitted and CTG was performed 6 hourly, still I felt 0 pain.. 

The team had plans for me: to induce me if my progression is not helping. They wanted to pop my waterbag and induce me with pitocin if I still show no progress. Another VE was done and I was already 3cm dilated....

Day 2

Still, I felt no pain at all, I pitied my husband, he looked so bored and tired accompanying me all through. At 3pm, another VE was done and I am still 3cm, no progress. :( Kecewa... Still B was not keen of me being induced.. 

At 3pm, kena seluk lagi, and I was at my 4th cm already, yeay, the team decided to give natural contraction a try since I was entering my active phase. The doctor said I can be admitted to labor ward anytime soon...

Ripen.. 40 weeks..

Almost there.!
