Umar's 1 year old?!?

It's June. And that only means one thing. Umar's turning one this 28th. Oh my gosh. He's ONE?? ONE. It's been a hell of a roller coaster ride, but I am so so so grateful of these things : - I managed to breastfeed him till he's one. (that was my goal. At least until he turns one.) - I managed to NOT get pregnant yet (without any contraceptive devices or medications - except breastfeeding) - He's well-fed now. Alhamdulillah. Ever since we moved, he eats at least THREE times a day now. But despite the happiness, i am also pretty worried and sad. Those who are close with me, they'll know. But in time, i hope these worries will disappear and everything will turn out alright. Umar's next checkup is a day after his birthday and i am just hoping that it'll be good. Happy 1st Birthday, my baby boy. You're one year old now. You've yet to walk, crawl or even feed on your own. But most people are telling Ibu not to worry and that you...

Umar's 1 year old?!?


It's June. And that only means one thing. Umar's turning one this 28th. Oh my gosh.

He's ONE?? ONE. It's been a hell of a roller coaster ride, but I am so so so grateful of these things :

- I managed to breastfeed him till he's one. (that was my goal. At least until he turns one.)

Happy 1st Birthday, my baby boy. You're one year old now. You've yet to walk, crawl or even feed on your own. But most people are telling Ibu not to worry and that you'll do just fine. They tell me "the first born is usually extra pampered." "It'll be fine, nothing to worry about."
Ibu calms down for just awhile but then gets back to thinking of the worst. I hope that you will achieve more in life than I ever did and I hope to give you all of me, as much as I can, for as long as I'm alive. I hope to give you every love that you deserve, the one that I never really got. I hope to protect you as much as I could and I hope to teach you lessons in life as much as I can.
Ibu and Abi love you so very much. While we can't wait to see you grow and reach more milestones, we won't deny that we love seeing you just as you are.

Lots of love,
Ibu.

Umar's first plane trip / Husband's birthday trip

Umar's first vacation was nothing short of wonderful. We knew that we wanted to go on a vacation as it was the Husband's birthday ( we are ALWAYS overseas during your birthday. #notfair ) and at first we thought of heading to Rome but we were doubting so many things. And then plans changed and we decided we didn't want to go somewhere too far, where the flight is more than 3 hours as it is after all, Umar's first trip and truthfully we were scared as well. But all is well and Alhamdulillah, when we were in Phuket, everything was made easy for us and it was pretty smooth for a couple with a baby. I booked everything and I think I spent around SGD $1000 on accommodations alone. But overall I believe we spent less than $2000 during our 1 week stay in Phuket. I tried my best to search for the beautiful hotels with nice view at an affordable price, but I just had to splurge on one villa....... (it is for the husband, of course.) Husband requested that he wanted to w...

My BF Journey

Hello! It's been quite awhile since I wrote, so I was inspired to write about my breastfeeding journey. It is probably one of my greatest achievements. (haha) When I first gave birth to Umar, of course I had difficulties adjusting and it was tough, as any other new mummies had went through. It was painful, frustrating and lots of tearing up in the shower. It got to the point where I bled. Yes. And you still have to breastfeed as per normal. What i read and found out was, the saliva from your baby's mouth has enzymes that will heal your cracked n. (mummies will know what the n. is for la ha...) Some mummies say use cream, some do this, some do that. For me, i tried cream but it didn't work... Plus, how you going to put cream and then let your baby nurse?? So i'd only put cream when Umar is sleeping and not nursing but personally, it did not help me at all. Now, this is normal until you get used to it. At that point of time, I did not think i will continue breastf...
