Hello again!!

It has been a very long time since my previous blog. So many things had happened during my absence and everything was fabulous. One thing significant: I AM A MOTHER!

Yes, I can now proudly call myself a mother. I was blessed with a precious baby girl on 11 March 2005. She was safely delivered at 6.03am at Kajang Hospital after 9 hours of contractions. It was hell painful and until now I'm still unsure whether I could suffer it again for my next baby, but for sure, all the pains seem to vanish once I set my eyes upon her. She was so beautiful, fair, soft and delicate. She has my eyes but her forehead, chin and lips resemble her father. The first time she was put in my arms I felt so grateful, so happy.. so speechless. She’s my baby and I love her so much. We called her, Nur Hazieqa Firdani which mean “The brilliant and comforting light”.

At first, like every other first time parents, me and my husband were going thru the “Baby Blues” phase. The odd hours of feeding time, the late nite waking, lack of sleeping, breast feeding problems etc. etc. etc…  it was quite a trying moment.. However we manage to go thru it with patience and love. Thank god my baby is not the crying type. She sleeps most of the time and doesn’t give us many problems. However, when she was 3 days old, she was having jaundice and was admitted to the Hospital for 2 days. She was warded in the ICU and the doctors had made us signed the release form for blood transfusion. They said that if the jaundice is still high and increasing, they will have to change her blood with somebody else from the blood bank as to get rid of the damage blood. The risk is, she might facing brain and body organs damage due to the procedure. The doctor however assures us that the bad chances are really low to 1%. Nevertheless, it still scares us like hell. I wasn’t sleeping for 2 days to care for her and I cried most of the time.
