Just to update on our little preparation on entering the parenthood and welcoming a new member of the family.
I am now i my 5th month of pregnancy which means I'm half way of the pregnancy journey already. alhamdulillah. Keep being strong baby. May Allah keep protecting you, insyaAllah.
Me and husband sure is super excited about becoming a parent soon. Tapi deep down inside memang tak dapat dinafikan memang ada rasa nervous and blurry too sometimes. Memang banyak benda yang kami tak tahu about babies and parenting. Knowing that I have so many kekurangan dalam diri, I know I can't just rely dengan ilmu saya yang cetek to enter motherhood. So I really do need to do some readings and listening to talks and other people's experience in order to just get me a little bit ready and get the picture of motherhood and parenting.
Up to now, here are the few things me and husband been doing as our little preparation
We've been going through the internet on any articles about pregnancy, delivery , babies, parenthood dan kalau ada isu yang kami rasa perlu diperbincangkan, kami akan discuss bersama. Sumber dari internet memang mudah didapati tapi harus di tapis jugak to make sure the info is right. Saya juga cuba untuk spend masa setiap hari untuk baca buku yang berkaitan. Ini antara buku yang dalam proses untuk dihadam. Banyak lagi buku yang sangat menarik tentang pregnancy dan parenting. InsyaAllah kalau ada rezeki boleh pergi cari.
While I am busy reading books focusing on these kind of topics, mr husband preferred to learn more about financial management. For sure nanti bila dah ada baby akan ada perubahan on how we manage our household income. memang kena banyak berbincang macamana nak adjust our budget terkini so that boleh masukkan budget untuk baby. May Allah make everything ease insyaAllah.
Instead of doing some readings, saya sangat berminat nak ikuti seminar atau talk tentang pregnancy, delivery, motherhood and parenting. However setakat ni seminar-seminar sedemikian agak terhad sedikit di Kelantan. Selalunya progam-program sebegini diadakan di Lembah Klang which agak sukar untuk saya pergi buat masa sekarang. Tapi kalau ada yang sangat bagus dan nak sangat pergi may be boleh di adjust untuk ke KL sambil-sambil balik rumah umi abi di salak tinggi, insyaAllah.
Buat masa sekarang I have registered a half day seminar on breastfeeding in october which will be held in Kota Bharu. walaupon breastfeeding ni known as sesuatu yang comes by nature bila dah jadi ibu, I wanted to get the right info on breastfeeding and really understand about the right way to breastfeed dan learn from other people experience. Moga bermanfaat, insyaAllah. Moga-moga ad rezeki untuk hadir seminar-seminar lain especially on gentle delivery, islamic parenting and homeschooling, insyaAllah
Masa awal-awal kehamilan, the doctor ada bagitahu that in case baby masih tak keluar on expected due date, mereka kemugkinan besar akan do Czer sebab this baby is considered as precious baby sebab susah to conceived. And that freaked me out. I really wanted to go for natural birth if possible tapi kalau itu yang terbaik then saya akan ikut je. Cuma sebelum hari kejadian haruslah cuba berusaha untuk kearah natural birth. Selain berdoa dan minta Allah mudahkan segalanya, I have been doing some yoga. From my readings, yoga ni bagus as an exercise untuk mudahkan bersalin. Kawan-kawan yang amalkan yoga juga agreed on that. Hopefully ia membantu insyaAllah. Moga ada rezeki untuk join class antenatal dan gentle delivery too.
Since sekarang dah nak masuk 6 bulan pregnancy, we decided that we should start looking and buying barang-barang untuk sambut baby in december nanti, insyaAllah. Macam ibu to be yang lain, saya juga sangat teruja untuk membeli barang baby. semuanya comel dan sangat menggoda. Tapi husband awal-awal dah pesan kita kena cuba elakkan membazir. Beli apa yang perlu saja. Jangan cuba ikut trend terkini. Okay, insaf sekejap..hehe.. Tapi memang betul,usually parent to be lebih-lebih lagi kalau use to be a TTCian memang akan ada kecenderungan untuk overspend on barangan baby. Memang kena betul-betul plan since barangan baby pon boleh tahan harganya walaupon kecil cinonet.hehe
Untuk elakkan pembaziran, kami list kan barang-barang yang diperlukan. Kami belom lagi tahu jantina anak kami tapi we decided that it does not matter sebab kami rasa its better untuk beli baju dan barangan baby yang boleh dipakai untuk dua-dua jantina, Mana la tahu lepas ni adik-adiknya atau sepupu-sepupu atau saudara-mara pulak nak guna.
Last two weeks we went to a baby and kids fair di Kota Bharu. MashaAllah I did not know that going to a baby fair is so much more exciting dari pergi Moodrepublik fair. However, baby fair tu tidakla sebesar mana as how we expected it to be.tapi still masih excitied..hehe.. Theres not much thing that we bought. Plan asalnya nak memborong baju sebab katanya you can find baju baby from rm5. Unfortuately kebanyakan baju baby sangat obvious baju baby girl atau baby boy. Tak banyak yang in between. So in the end, we only grab 2 pasang baju dengan motif elmo and sesame street yang sangat bagus kainnya for rm10 each. Orang pon terlalu ramai dalam dewan yang agak kecil menyebakan kami tak spend to much time di setiap booth.
Instead of 2 pasang baju tu, we also bought a breastfeeding pump. Pada mulanya, saya rasa saya tidak memerlukan breastpump ini memandangkan I am not working and just staying at home. Tetapi lepas bercakap dengan a few friends dan my mother in law, they suggested me to buy it sebab i will be needing it bila mengalami bengkak susu. Berdasarkan survey yang saya buat through the internet the pump sold at the fair was quite cheap so we decided to buy it. A solo pump insyaAllah would be enough for a stay at home mom like me. Hopefully its useful, insyaAllah.
Okay...itu je a few updates on our small preparation...Yang paling penting kena banyak berdoa minta Allah permudahkan segalanya and help us untuk persiapkan diri kami dalam semua segi. May Allah make everything ease insyaAllah.
Till then,
May Allah Bless~
