/Sofea is One Month Today!!/

Yeah...Sofea is ONE MONTH old. She is very aware of her surroundings and can recognise our voices. There was one time when she was crying for attention, then Abah walked in the room, she just stopped and waited for him. Clever girl!!

We showed her off to some of our neighbours while we were taking a breath of fresh air at the playground today. For the mini celebration, I ordered cupcakes and Mak cooked bubur merah n putih while Abah read the prayers during our lunch.

Danial and Aisyah finally get to meet and kiss Sofea since most times they were at the child care centre. Danial wanted us to leave the baby with him but blamed the father for not buying milk. At least both of them not 'geli' to kiss Sofea unlike si Ayu.

/Abah n his injury/

The boyz went with Abah to the family soccer match at Bukit Timah where they were joined by the rest of the team members. Both Pak Ngah (Saidillah) and Pak Busu (Saiful) came too. At the end of the game, Abah received a cut by the nose and its quite bloody. Fuad said its only a surface cut so mother suggested to apply minyak gamat. Abah shaved off his 'misai'and plastered a bandage to apply pressure. Photo courtesy by Danish.

/Outdoor Specialists Awards Nite 2007/

The whole family (including Sofea) attended Abah's soccer kakis annual awards nite at CCAB Bukit Timah aka his old campus. Everyone had a jolly good time. The kidz get to play with their own kakis, the mummies talking to each other while the daddies joked around while making sure everything ran smoothly. The group unveiled the new jersey for 2008 and gave Abah his no. 19 jersey.

/The boys' results for 2007/

Danish said "YEAH!" when he found out that he is 2nd in position for his class 2C this year. As usual Band 1 for English & Maths while Band 2 for Malay. He has been practising getting his trophy for prize giving day.

Muhammad did consistently for this year having scored Band 1 for Eng, Maths & Science and Band 2 for Malay. He was asked to choose Higher Malay for next year.

Both of them went for the prize giving day today with Dr Yaccob Ibrahim as the guest of honour. Muhammad has his band performance while Danish has been practising saying thank you to Dr Y. Abah, Mak, Aiza, Ayu and Sabryna were present to see both of them in action.

/A day at the Istana/

Muhammad's school band was scheduled to perform at the Istana for this year's Deepavali celebration. Sabryna n Danish went with Abah while Mak had to wait for Fuad to wake up so she went down later. So that left both me n Sofea at home since I'm not ready enough to step out from the house. This will be Muhammad's second last performance. His last performance with his friends will be the prize giving ceremony on 14th November.

/Sofea is 8 days old today/

Being 8 days old already, both me and Abah have realised that she the best baby compared to the brothers n sister.

Muhammad - Woke up every 2 hours at night but petty with milk!
Danish - First 3 nights, cried like kena cubit. After that slept quite ok but
heavy on breastfeeding during day time! Ouch my breasts!
Sabryna - Hardly cried at night although bit petty with milk n food.
Sofea - Sleeps well during day n night only waking up for changing diapers n milk.

I realised that going through the C-section was tougher than normal delivery. I have to watch my stomach area carefully and I have to avoid coughing, sneezing or anything that my jiggle the stomach muscles. Plus I've been supplied with Pati Ikan Haruan which tasted yucks! Lucky I alternate it with my essence of chicken.

Oops Sofea is up for her 6 o'clock milk.....

/The day Sofea decided to come out.../

All thanks (probably) to the Pasir Ris event that helped in getting Sofea to start coming out from the mummy's tummy after sitting there for 40 weeks and 3 days (the longest ever)!

At 4 am, the contractions begun. Thought its the same ones like last night which went off in the morning but I started bleeding. So Anis and the rest of the kids were activated to quickly wake up, quick shower, grabbed a book each and went down for the cab. We managed to get one quickly but alas the taxi driver seemed panicky until he did not know where Eastshore Hospital is. When we reached there, he parked also anyhow in front of the Emergency door.

Straight away I was wheeled up to the labour ward where the nurses get me ready for the C-section. Doc was alerted and initially he scheduled the operation for 7.15 am. Wah...I thought I had to suffer the pain from 5.15 to 7.15 but at 5.30, my water bag burst and Sofea was very eager to come out. The nurses were running here and there...there seemed to be so much commotion that I had to close my eyes to block them away. Doc came but I could only showed a peace sign with my hands....after that another doctor came in and put me to sleep. The next minute I woke up, everybody around me were busy but at least don't look hurried. I asked what happened and one of them said I delivered already. Then I fell asleep again.

I was sent to the ward and doc came by to say hello but as usual I'm still drowsy. Sofea also came to say hello to me too and get her milk. Now that we are back at home, its time to fully recuperate. Thank you fo visiting us at the hospital.
