Penat OK. Tapi less stress. Maybe sebab dapat makan epal kot?


Day 1 - misteri minyak sapi
Sebagai penggemar nasi minyak, we always have minyak sapi (ghee) in our house. Without me realizing sbb sibuk dengan Adam yang melalak-lalak, Iman took out an opened-can from the fridge. Minyak sapi ni kalau tak refrigerate, memang akan cair. Iman letak tepi TV sampai cair then he dipped kain lap dalam tu and sental a small part of the TV rack dan beg-CD dia. And another he dipped another kain, still saya tak perasan. Sampailah dia sapu atas kepala dia, ala2 letak minyak rambut. Tebby balik rumah, cium budak2 tu, terus dia tanya.. Iman muntah ke? Apsal dia bau semacam?

Day 2 - kisah telur terbang
My kids are so into nasi these days. Sungguh sangat tidak selari dengan kempen gomen kurangkan makan nasi. Lauk feveret lak telur. Kira feveret menu diorang ni -> Nasi Kicap Telur. Kakak dah start minat ikan but then selalunya telur jugaklah. Bila Adam tidur aje, saya bersilat kat dapur. Goreng telur 2 biji. Bubuh dalam pinggan. Suruh Kakak ambik letak kat meja makan. Tiba2 dia menjerit, telur terbang.. telur terbang. Tu lah, mata ke mana, tangan ke mana. Pinggan kat tangan tapi telur dah terbang. Habis telur goreng 2 biji singgah kat lantai. Sabor je lah.

Day 2 - kisah si gunting tumpul
Tak cukup dengan telur terbang, Iman pun buat jugak part dia. Dia pi ambik gunting yang Kakak selalu guna untuk subject Arts dia tu. Diam2 dia dok dalam bilik menggunting baju Abahnya. Baju ofis pulak tuh! Sib baik bukan baju yang Tebby baru beli. And sib baik jugak, kecik aje cariknya sebab Ummi sempat tangkap dia red-handed. Terkujat dia masa saya sergah dia dok menggunting tu!

Day 3 - misteri telur mata kerbau yang buta
Hari ke-3 ni nak goreng ikan sebenarnya tapi Adam buat hal pulak so nak cepat punya pasal, telur lah jugak. Like usual, saya goreng 2 biji. Kali ni baik punya telur mata. Tang kuning tu elok je terletak tak pecah cam selalu. Time makan nasi pun tiba. Saya tengok pinggan telur takde bawah tudung saji. Aikk.. mana pulak peginya. Rupanya Iman tengah syok aje korek tang kuning tu dia bedal sorang2. Sekali lagi sabor. Panjang muncung Kakaknya tengok tinggal telur putih aje. Sib baik ada 2 biji. Sebiji lagi Iman tak sempat kerjakan.

Itulah kisah saya sepanjang 3 hari dengan budak2 nih. Mulanya cadang nak hantar Kakak and Iman ke taska so I have just Adam to mind. Tapi kesian pulak. Time cuti2 sekolah ni, apa kelas pegi taska kan. Dahlah Ummi ada kat rumah. So, dengan semangat keibuan yang tebal (ceh.. ayat patriotik), I let them stay home with me. Kecoh memang kecoh. Ada masa, sorang dok sibuk nak makan nasi, sorang lagi be**k pulak. Ada masa pulak, sorang tu sibuk tanya pasal grammar English, yang sorang lagi menggunting baju Abahnya. Ada sekali tu, sebelah tangan goyang buai Adam, sebelah lagi suapkan nasi Iman. Ada sekali lagi tu, melayan Kakak makan nasi. Sebelah tangan suapkan Iman. Adam lak elok2 parking atas riba menetek dengan jayanya. Adoilah. Time ginilah rasa nak sangat ada maid. Rumah tunggang terbalik. Kain bertimbun tak berlipat. Baju sekolah Kakak tak sort lagi. And know what, kasut sekolah dia pun belum basuh. Tadi je sempat sental bag sekolah dia.

Ni belum lagi saya masuk kerja balik nih.. isk.. isk.. isk...

Adam while in NICU. Nampak tak kepala dia dok dalam tong cam aquarium tu?
We could only usap-usap dia from the round-opening at the sides tu.

After he was released from NICU. Wayar tak nampak dah sebab tido terbalik gitu.

Sian anak Ummi. Kecik2 lagi dah kena cucuk tangan tu..


I'm back.

How very rude of me not thanking you all. Pertaining to Adam's birth, thanks for the visits, SMSes, phone-calls, notes and concerns. Really appreciate that. Minta maaf kalau phone calls terpaksa di cut-short. Almaklumlah, fan-club saya ahlinya dah bertambah. Demanding belaka pulak tu! Lagi-lagi minta maaf kalau ada calls yang saya tak dapat jawab. Jangan ingat saya sombong pulak ek. Kadang-kadang tak menang tangan nak melayan anak-anak.

Ada yang nak tahu, what actually happened to Adam sampai ke NICU. Kalau diingat-ingat balik, masa kat dalam labour-room tu, nurses agak panik when they saw fresh-blood oozing out. Don't ask me kenapa. Cuma yang saya tau, there were not supposed to be fresh blood masa labour process (unless from epi lah kan). And another time, masa tu Adam memang dah nak keluar sangat dah. The nurses kept on encouraging me to push kuat-kuat sikit sebab Adam's heart-beat was getting slower and slower. Masa dia keluar pun, he did not cry. Masa buat suction baru bunyi cam merengek-rengerk. Like I told before, he was white. I had wanted Dr Nasir for a paed tapi dalam keadaan kelam kabut and cemas gitu, who-ever paed yang on-call malam tu would do. Sib baik saya pernah jugak bawak anak-anak beberapa kali jumpa dengan paed yang ini. He's good as well. Dr Christopher Lim. We were informed Adam was put in an incubator. I was too dazed and tired from the labour process so I dozed off shortly after.

Sunday 11 May 2008
At around 11.00a.m. kami diberitahu Adam was rushed to NICU. Tebby dah mula resah. Suami saya tu, kalau bab anak-anak ni, memang concern dia no 1. Anak tak sihat, dia ikut sama tak sihat, makan tak lalu, tidur tak lena. Lagi teruk dari penangan cinta! Saya pulak masih rasa sakit-sakit. Around noon, Tebby tolak saya atas wheel-chair ke NICU. Iman pulak berdiri bergantung kat tempat pijak di wheel-chair tu. Masuk ke ICU, sekilas saya nampak sorang baby kat dalam NICU. No other baby so memang confirm that was Adam. Nevertheless, kami diarahkan to wash and scrub our hands dulu. Then pakai lak sanitiser. Baru boleh pegang-pegang Adam. Pegang pulak bukanlah boleh angkat and peluk cium. Setakat dapat usap-usap aje. Nak cium pun tak boleh! Bahagian kepala ke atas duduknya dalam bekas seakan aquarium. Cuma boleh sentuh-sentuh gitu aje. He was supposed to be with me, enjoying his first moments in my arms and yet he had to spend his first few days, alone. Berselirat dengan wayar segala. Yang hairannya, setitik airmata pun tak gugur masa tu. On now, while typing this, baru saya rasa sebak. Hairan kan, after 22 days. We made a few more trips to NICU that day.

Monday 12 May 2008
My O&G told me Adam was released from NICU. Saya sangat excited. Nevertheless, kami masih tak boleh angkat dan peluk dia. He was put in an incubator, again. Wayar-wayar masih ada, cuma jumlahnya berkurangan. Tangan dah kena cucuk masuk IV. They feed him plain water and later sebab tak ada susu lagi, his first feed was just formula. Since he couldn't suck on my teats yet time tu, I tried pumping. Walaupun saya tak boleh feed directly, at least he'd get some of his Ummi's milk. Dapatlah less than 1oz tapi saya hantar jugak ke nursery so Adam dapat jugak minum susu Ummi dia.

Tuesday 13 May 2008
He was released from incubator tapi still we couldn't room-in together sebab he needed to be under warmer. Hari itulah pertama kali saya (selepas di labour room) dapat angkat dia, pegang dia, peluk dia, cium dia and feed dia. Every 3 jam saya ke nursery to feed him. That was how it goes for the next 2 days.

Thursday 14 May 2008
Buat pertama kalinya Adam ditolak masuk ke bilik saya dan ditinggalkan di bilik ward saya. They still get him every 8 hours for his antibiotic. At times, I had to send him off to nursery to top-up his feeding sebab lepas bergantung, he was still resah gelisah, macam tak kenyang.

Friday 15 May 2008
Dibenarkan balik. Itupun dah lewat. Sebab utamanya nak dapat release from Pantai memang lama gila. Secondly sebab nak complete course antibiotic Adam. By then both his hands and one foot dah kena cucuk. Masuk IV, ambik darah, cucuk ubat.

He's diagnosed as 'puerperal sepsis'. A kind of infection. Alhamdulillah, dia tak kena jaundice.

Ada juga yang bertanya tentang kos sebab saya dan Adam stay dari Sunday sampai Friday. Since Adam had his own admission, bill dia separate from mine and was covered by the company. It was close to RM4K. As for me, it was RM5.5K. Sib baik company cover partially. Tebby kata, lebihan yang dia topped-up tu, kira dia belanja lah. Hadiah bersalinkan anak ke-3!

Post Natal Blues

I am so stressed! Hormonal me, I guess. Lack of sleep. I can't do much during the day since Adam wants to nurse like at 1/2hr, 45minutes, 1hr interval. Ikut suka hati dia lah. Ye lah, dia pun baby lagi kan. Kekadang tu dia nak bergantung je. As if his life depends on my boobs. Yes, in a way since I am his milk supplier kan.

I am on my 14th day. My jiran was surprised the other day to see me outside the house sending off Kakak to school. If only she knows that I already started doing the laundry, cooking, sental kasut sekolah Kakak. Tho I wake up 'on-demand' to feed Adam, I still have another 2 kids to care about and to give me a run around as early as 6a.m. My stitches can still be felt down there tho the cut has partially healed. How do I know? I called for APSH's home nursing service for 7 days. She checks Adam. Gives Adam his bath and gives advise on nutrition and whatnots. She checks my BP and temperature. Checks my rahim dah kecut ke belum (dah kecut tapi perut still buncit okay) and checks my epi. I got 4 stitches the other day. Oh ya, as a proof betapa stressednya saya, ari tu BP saya high tho sepanjang pregnant okay jek.

Berpantang melayu-style doesn't help at all. Lack of nutrition, very little or no fibre at all, little liquid intake, jalan kena tersiput2, no sugar. In short, just take nasi sekepal dengan ikan kering, plus air barang segelas sehari. How's that? To be frank, I feel weak, not energentic, letih and ntah apa-apa lagi lah. Masa I had to stay for 6 days in APSH sbb Adam kena warded, I ate secara sihat. I was still careful with the selection tho. Kiranya saya pick the 'least evil' menu from the list. Walaupun baru bersalin, rasa cam sihat dan segar. Few days back, I got constipated and you all taulah kan berapa attempt kena buat before you can actually 'do' it. Thank God Adam's umbilical cord dah tanggal on 11th day. I started taking jamu then. Nona Roguy Phyto Natal. It works guys. Try lah. With Adam yang nak menetek selalu, dengan maknya yang kurang zat = seksa. My mom kata sebab 'container' kecik je, tu yang susu tak cukup. I know I am not Dolly Parton, but hey, I need some support here. Know what, I'll give up all these pantang-larang. I'm giving myself until next week. Lepas tu makcik nak makan secara sihat. Nak makan nasi banyak-banyak, nak minum air banyak-banyak. Nak makan sayur. Nak makan buah.

I am cranky kan? I feel like running from all these... Jangan makcik meroyan sudah..

Oh, btw, I am going balik kampung esok. Kakak cuti sekolah (Iman cuti bersalin jugak, dah berzaman tak pegi tadika) so dia nak spend sometime kat kampung. Will be back next week. I won't be able to read mails or to blog sbb I don't plan to carry my laptop along. Apa2 hal, SMS me ok.

Muhammad Adam - Mirror Mirror On The Wall, Who's The Biggest of Them All?

Adam - just after birth

Special pose from Adam to his Ummi's blog readers

Alhamdulillah. Muhammad Adam selamat dilahirkan pada 11 May 2008 (Hari Ibu), pukul 3.22pagi. Berat badan 3.74kg (by far the biggest in my and Tebby's family), panjang 53cm dan ukurlilit kepala 35cm.

Kakak kata 'Ummi, adik ni comel lah. Macam kucing. Can I call him kitten?' No dear. Nama dia Muhammad Adam. 'Oh,.. Adam Farhan boleh?'. No dear, just Adam. Ummi dengan Abah suka nama pendek-pendek je. Macam Iman jugak. 'Kalau Muhammad Adam bin Farhan?'. No dear.. lepas bin atau binti kenalah nama Abah sebab Abah ni ayah. 'Oh, OK. Adam.'

I am 7kg lighter and, in fact at the weight I always wanted before this. So, I need not lose anymore weight. Just to tone my muscle. My appetite, however, remains. I had 4 slices of roti gardenia, 1 mug of steaming hot milo, a few packets of biskut kering. Had my mom not around, I might've dived into cakoi and donuts Tebby bought for the kids.

Enough about me.

You may skip the next. It'll be da** long and boring. I'm jotting this down because I need to keep this as remembrance and PLUS, this is my journal.

I was a day late. During my last appointment on 9th May, Dr Ashar instructed me to go and surrender myself on the 14th if by then still tak bersalin. We had nasi ayam on Saturday. I even had a few glasses (or mugs?) of cendol, rojak mamak and tah apa-apa lagi. I was already feeling uneasy but then again, I had that feelings for a few days already. Petang tu sebelum mandi, I took Iman for a walk dekat rumah-rumah yang baru siap nearby my house. And had dinner as usual. Chit chatted as usual.

10.15p.m.
I felt the urge to pee. When I got up, I felt a slight cramp. I sat on the toilet bowl and suddenly water gushed out. Ops... mana pulak datang air nih, rasanya aku belum ken**** pun. (my previous 2 kids was with darah). Relax.. relax.. panggil Tebby. Check colour air ketuban. It was greenish and I knew Adam dah poo-poo already. See, I never had my water broke other than on hospital bed. So meleleh-meleleh ke mana jua saya pegi. Naik atas, tukar baju. Salam mintak ampun with my parents. Masuk keta. Sampai A&E, masuk labour room. I really left my mark, so to speak.

11.00p.m.
Sampai APSH. Wheeled to labour room terus. Keta toksah cite lah, banjir dengan air ketuban. The 2 kain batik did not help at all. My baju was soaking wet. Selipar pun basah kuyup. So had the usual drill. Tukar into one pair of baju hospital yang seksi itu. Tagged. Dan masuk ubat buang air besar. And checked for dilation. I was 6cm. Tapi nurse couldn't feel his head. Dapat rasa bahu je. Adehlah.. menyenget jugak agaknya. Takpe, nanti bila contraction kuat, insyaAllah, he'll be pushed into the position.

12.00a.m.
Dr sampai so the 'real' procedure started. Since it was my 3rd time and I was alrealy 6cm, nurses did not do anything sebab takut dr tak sempat sambut nanti. I was put on IV to strengthen contraction. Tebby went down for admission. Tunggu masuk Ahad baru register, kalau tak nanti kena charge for Saturday walaupun just a few hours je. Ubat will take effect in 15 minutes. I was left to mind my business after they thought me how to use the etonox. Heavenly etonox..

12.30a.m
Nurse datang lagi. Aikk.. tak sakit ke, tak dengar pun ambik gas. Sakit memang sakit tapi it was still bearable. Takmo give in awal-awal,.. nanti sampai hujung tak tahan sakit pulak. So, she increased the dosage.

1.00a.m
Started mengkhayalkan diri dengan etonox. I saw the room rotating in weird shapes. Pusing ke kanan. Pusing ke kiri. That's why I said heavenly etonox. Jangan terlebih dosage yek. Sedut time sakit je.

1.30a.m
I want pain killer! Cecepat Tebby panggil nurse. I learnt my lesson time Iman. Lambat mintak, tak sempat ambik. I was left with just etonox. This time dapat le pethidine (sp?). Sampai boleh terlelap-lelap. Kalau ambik epidural, tak tau lah apa jadi. Boleh sampai berdengkur kot? Tho I heard certain people takde effect pun bila ambik epidural. Oh ya, nurse increase kan lagi dosage IV to expedite labour process.

2.30a.m
Nurse dan gerombolannya datang lagi. Stop etonox and was asked to try pushing. Tipulah kalau saya kata bersalin tak sakit kan. Cuma tahap2 sakit tu berbeza-beza. Kalau nak buat personal ranking, the worst was Iman. 2nd Kakak and Adam's was the shortest and less painful. Tho sebenarnya masa Adam dah hampir nak keluar, I begged them to cut me open he.. he.. Makcik penat. Dr Ashar resorted to KIWI vacuum. Ntah cemana rupanya, tu kena tanya Tebby. Dia yang tengok. I was too busy pushing. Part yang paling ngeri sekali, I felt Adam was halfway tapi contraction ended. Was asked to stop pushing and breath thru mouth only and there were activities down there. Then I felt him slipped out. The time was 3.22a.m.

3.22a.m.
Adam's birthtime. Tebby tak dapat potong his cord. It was an emergency. In fact masa they put him on my chest, he did not cry. Masa buat suction baru dia berbunyi. It pun slow aje, cam bunyi protest ala malu-malu kucing jek. He was white (note - white, not fair). They cleaned him, wrapped him, gave him to Tebby for Azan. And then he was rushed to incubator.

I'll tell in other entries InsyaAllah. At this point, I can only reveal he was put in NICU (neonatal ICU) for 2 days and then back to incubator and then put under warmer for another 2-3 days. I was admitted on 11th May and was discharged on 16th May.

Big Apple Donuts Tebby bought for me. Thanks Yang.

I am still pregnant! Last week, I was relieved I gained just a mere 1kg within 2 weeks. And to satisfy my ever-growing nafsu makan (yang konon-kononnya mengidam), I've been eating and eating. Nasi Dagang, a box of donuts, KFC, Nasi Ayam. Semalam even buat Nasi Minyak with its gulai. I've stocked the fridge with ikan, ayam and whatnots kot-kot terbersalin nanti, my parents won't have problems nak makan. Deep down inside, I wish still sempat makan nasi putih with fried ikan kembong, masak lemak kobis and sambal belacan. Btw, baru balik dari check-up sebenarnya. I gained 2kg within just a week. Adam is, clinically 4.04kg. Dr Ashar said he maybe 3.4kg - 3.5kg only based on his 'professional calculation'. So far, I am on normal delivery and on waiting. Kalau by next Friday tak bersalin lagi, we'll wait another 5-7 days.


Her mung-bean project.

Did I tell you all that Kakak is hooked on National Geographic? From a forum I joined, I got to know there's National Geographic Kid. I googled for info but it seems I can't find it here. Does anyone has any idea how can I subscribe to this periodicals? From my observation, Kakak loves science subject. Perhaps sebab she got to draw, to color and do experiments. Last week she bugged us into buying mung-beans and cottons for her science project. The teacher's intention was good. But kan, kalau esok nak buat, jangan le baru hari ni nak kabo nak itu ini. Bagilah grace period lama sikit. Anyway, Tebby got the things she wanted. I refrained myself from helping her (read: doing it for her). I just observed. She did as instructed. She makes sure the cottons are always wet. Since I am on MC, she keeps on reminding me to make sure her projects gets enough sunshine while she's at school.


Books.. books... books..

Went to MidValley on Saturday. Kekononnya ala-ala last trip before bersalin with the kids. Took the chance to go to Borders for some books. Kakak got herself 2. Iman scooped 2. I bought myself some books (mostly 3 for 2). And Tebby himself, 2. Terkujat makcik masa membayornya, lebih RM400 you! Tebby spent another RM200++ for his graphic-comic storybooks (he'll never grow up in that sense). I'm done with 'Jakarta Undercover' by Muammar Emka (ps - don't buy. tak best!) and now almost halfway thru 'For One More Day' by Mitch Albom. I am so touched, so to speak. Btw, I ordered online some Habiburrahman's novel which were not sold at Borders. Like Adam, they're expected to arrive anytime soon. My gratitutes to Limaunipis and her twin, Aini and also Elin, who in some way inspired me to read more. Tapi akak ala-ala slow lagi lah.. amatur le katakan.


Kakak, in her sports-attire. She's in rumah Pahlawan, btw.

Don't they ever get tired of pink? *sigh*

She won!

Kakak had been practising sports for the past 2 weeks kat sekolah. When asked apa bahagian dia join, she oso didn't know. I'd expected she'd only be joining a march or something since she kept on telling us Kakak dah lari yang paling sangat laju tapi Kakak tak menang jugak. It's okay dear, as long as you've tried you best. Nevertheless, we bought her a pair of pink BBG sneakers last weekend. And a few pairs of track bottom to replace hers yang tercicir dalam stor masa salin baju kat sekolah. Sukan Perpaduan was held last weekend, Sunday 27th April 2008. Dia pegi dengan Tebby only. They came back at 10.30am. Aik.. cepatnya. And know what, 2 days after that, she excitedly announced that she got a medal. Rupanya anak Ummi menang 2nd place. Unfortunately there's not even a single photo. Apparently while Kakak was running with a bean bag on her head, the father was busy reading in the school canteen... And she also missed the prize-giving.

Still Pregnant..

I am still pregnant. Week 38 already.

Went to APSH this morning. Did another round of CTG. Had 3 contractions 12 minutes apart. And, again, another round of VE. I am not in labor yet. Adam, please wait for your Atok and Wan to arrive first okay. Ummi cannot imagine the havoc should you want to come into the world time malam-malam with your Kakak and Abang Iman has no one to look after them. Kang satu family lak masuk labor room. Udahlah Kakak tu penakut giler luka-luka or darah-darah ni. Harus pengsan dia nanti. After CTG and VE, did routine check-up. Adam is, well, er... 3.9kg! I was da** worried. Still am. I supposed any expectant mother would kot. Dr Ashar was as cool, as calm as ever. Told us the reading might be wrong as he could only measure one part of Adam's body (he's one big boy already so susah nak tengok him as a 'whole'). I hope the machine was wrong, no?

Had lunch in Octopus, Ampang Point. Gulped down dengan selambanya Coke (hey, lepas ni takleh dah tau, for the next how many months since I plan to breastfeed). Bought a tub of bahulu and a packet of dodol. And pesan kat Tebby, if he goes to Midvalley later, to buy me 1/2 dozen of Big Apple Donuts. Of courselah bila wife yang sarat mengandung demand nak makan donut, mesti dia pi cari kan. He.. he.. paksa rela jugak tuh. Plus, air mata kucing yang sungguh lazat itu. Dan buah mata kucing kering sekali. Mak aihh... camne anak tak besor?

Esok we plan to make my last shopping trip. Where else.. MidValley. Wanna find some books in Borders, some alatulis for Kakak (she keeps on losing hers. dia kata hilang but I got this feeling dia pi sedekah kat kawan-kawan since I found some things in her bag as well). She left her track-bottom in a store room masa tukar baju lepas PE. She desperately needs a pair of sneakers. She also said she needs a bathrobe. Ala.. baju macam tola yang pakai lepas mandi tu ummi.. And a baby seat for Adam. Lepas ni kan dok belakang pon kena pakai seat-belt. Need to train him dari kecik lagi. I think I'd have no problem with Kakak. Iman.. yes... Iman... yang ini susah sikit. Jangan tiap-tiap bulan kena saman sudah le. After that we're going to my brother's place in Setiawangsa to pick up my parents. Finally, they're coming. Risau sangat kot2 nak terbersalin sebelum masa. Budak2 ni sapa lah nak jaga nanti.

Okie dokie. I need to mandi now. Walaupun bulat, saya harus pastikan saya tidak busuk bila Tebby balik bawak donut nanti..

Adam

Adam hardly move since this morning. I had to poke and push him, then only he'd react by moving a bit. Maybe it's a bit too stuffy already.

Nevertheless, not taking any chances, we're going to APSH and have a check-up. Better be safe than sorry right.

Please doakan semuanya selamat.

I shall update later.

ps- kalau dr suruh paksa bersalin, tak sempatlah makcik makan donut Big Apple yek? sempat lagi tu..


UPDATES:-
Thanks to all well-wishes. I certainly appreciate that.

Came back from APSH approximately 2.30p.m. Had sumptous lunch at nearby mamak restaurant. Obviously Dr Ashar let me go home.

:: Had CTG done. Adam's heartbeat and its rate is normal.

:: He's quiet tho. Did not make much movement unless poked or shook (they shook my tummy okeh). Sampaikan one of the nurses suruh mengiring, baru dia gerak2 sikit. Tersepit kot.

:: Had VE.. er.. that stands for Vaginal Examination. I am already 1.5cm dilated already. Tapi nurse tu kata masih 'jauh' or 'tinggi'. Whatever. Maknanya belum nak bersalin lagi dah. But asked me to be cautious.

:: When one nurse touched Adam, dia tanya - baby besar ke? Well,.. uhh.. he was like 3.3kg last 2 weeks..

:: Was given a fetal-kick chart. Everytime hujung2 gini sure kena kira berapa kali budak-budak ni bergerak. At least 10 movements in 12 hours. More is good. Less means it's time to go to hospital.

:: I need to come again tomorrow. Tadi tak sempat nak sembang-sembang sangat dengan Dr Ashar. He took a look at the graph and ensure us Adam is doing fine. He was in his green suit dah time tu. Ada orang nak bersalin kot.
