Something New Everyday

I


It's often the little things that get me excited these days. I know Zahraa isn't the first baby to do these things, but it's the first time my baby has done them, and it's so much fun to see her learning & making new connections with the people around her. As new Parents, we find every new development fascinating............

Zahraa is becoming more adapted to her surroundings. All of his waking hours are spent watching, listening, playing, dancing and singing & sucking fingers. She's now able to look towards an interesting sound and search for it with her eyes, coo or gargle in response to what she hears and track a moving object from side to side and up and down. We discovered that she's now can:

Dancing & Singing:- Surprise? Want to know how she's dancing? eheh..... I will sing to her and her legs will kicking and cycling (this is how we describe her dancing) and she will response and make 'coo' sound and laughing (this is how we describe her singing). Tp kalau bab nyanyi ni bagi kat mama die.....gerenti die suke punye. Tergediks gediks ler muker die...comei anak mama ni....geram! Lagu paling die suker is 'Timang tinggi tinggi' and zikir yg die paling suke is 'Ya Latif'.

Talking (Chit Chat):- She can talk? Tak percaya jek! She will make 'coo' sound (how we describe her talking) while papa die cakap ngan die and of course she will give big smile too! Favorite tu....kalau bab cakap ngan papa die, mesti moncong moncong mulut die nak cakap eheh....actually Zahraa ni friendly baby, die boleh response ngan sape sape pon like grandmas, grandpas, uncle & aunties die including BIBIK....she will make 'coo' sound version Indon....Dealova..eheh..kihkih

Playing & Learning:- Recently, her papa's officemates gave her playmate. She love that! While lying on his stomach she will look & stares the colors all over the playmate. Die akan perhatikan each colors dengan tekun sekali. I think she likes green and red rather than pink. Mama die jek suke match kan die ngan pink color. eheh...kate baby girl mestilah pink but jangan hati pink sudah..susah tu nak pujuk. Rattles pon die suke gak...if we shake the rattles she will track the sound and stare at it.

Sucking Fingers:- Her favorite activities...the most! We think this is how she soothe herself. Kalau lambat bagi susu ker, lambat angkat die ker sure nangis but pastu die diam...rupenye die hisap jari die but sometimes die hisap tangan jugak....cuba bayangkan muke die yg bersungguh tu nak masukkan seluruh jari termasuk tgn die....eheh...

Feeding & Sleeping:- Now ni we can adapt her feeding & sleeping routines. She will stay awake longer kalau kitorang layan die but if we leave her alone die akan terjerit jerit minta dilayan or kalau penat terus tidor. Zahraa tak byk kerenah kalau bab menyusu she can either bottlefeeding or breastfeeding. Kalau die bottlefeeding she will sleep up to 5 hours but if breastfeeding she will sleep up to 3 hours. Skrang ni pon die dah kerap menyusu. Kalau bottlefeeding tu lebih kurang 4-5 kali sehari and breastfeeding of course upon demand. She's smart kalau mama die balik keje sure punye die taknak bottlefeeding.

Proud to announce the arrival of Dhia Zahraa

Welcome Zahraa! Alhamdulillah, semuanya selamat. At last the 'gift' from heaven has arrived....my lovely daughter, Dhia Zahraa. She was born 9 July 2006 @ 1:27 am. Unfortunately, Zahraa keluar ikut tingkap (caesarean method).

Actually we never expect this would happen. After 3 times induced + dripped 1 1/2 bottles of water, I wasn't feel any pain. However the doctor has advised me to deliver my baby through caesarean before anything bad happen. I only have 1/2 hour to decide. It was 12:30 in the morning, (I've no choice). Hissk! hisk! During the operation, I can hear the doctor said "Oh....kepala baby senget sikit and tali pusat die kat leher"...Finally Zahraa pun keluar after 27 minutes dalam operation theatre. I can't believe that i'm a mother now......Syukur even everything happened wasn't in plan but semuanye selamat.
