Ramadan 1434 H

Ramadan datang lagi, 2012, perasaanku berbaur, bercampur-campur, yang pastinya, aku akan berpantang pada masa itu.  Alhamdulillah, atas kurniaan Mu Ya Allah, seorang puteri akhirnya. Selepas tiga putera, aku pun tidaklah mengharap sangat, bagi ku putera ke puteri, ianya satu amanah dan tanggungjawab buatku dan suamiku. Mudah-mudahan, Allah memberiku kekuatan untuk menjadi ibu yang lembut dan baik kepada anak-anaknya.

Confinement days

What is confinement?
In Malay, known as berpantang. Well, for those who have the experience in delivering baby, they will know how challenging it was, that's why, some people called it labour room. The pain, the excitement, it is difficult to describe the feelings. (that's me). The challenging part in confinement is to religiously follow the dos and ignore the donts. Discipline is essential in confinement.

Farhaturasyidah 3 July 2012

Alhamdulillah, during the 40th  week check up, the O & G doctor found symptoms for delivery. After sending my boys to school including the little boy Fakhri ( I promised him to accompany me to hospital) but the father managed to carry him to the class. The night before, I pity Fakhri as he was still small 3 years and does not speak very well, deep down, I guess he will be traumatized by the existence of his little sister ( if the scan's result  is correct, we should be expecting a baby girl). Pregnancy at this time is very challenging, I did not plan to have one though I have stopped taking depo for 10 months when I felt my body is growing like a balloon. Well, a gift from Allah and alhamdulillah, I did not expect it is going to be a girl. I was not so happy during the pregnancy, so many things happened ( that I want to keep it as personal and lessons for myself). May Allah guides me in making the decision.
