Aaliya is sleeping at the moment on my bed using my big pillows. Macam dah besar sangat gitu budak ni. So I get to sit in front of the pc to sort out her pics which is plenty cos’ this lil’ girl knows how to pose for the camera, mind you, and play my newly bought SIMS 2 Bon Voyage. Hurrah!

Yesterday, I brought Aaliya to her 2nd Hep B injection. There were quite a number of babies there as well and from the look of it, they were around Aaliya’s age. But, my baby outsized them all, hands down! My goodness. It ws funny to see how big my girl is. As I compared, I realized she’s as big as 3 month old! All the other 1 month old boys and girls were so tiny and fragile, and there I was carrying my chubby baby who had kicks you could not believe would come from a 1 month old.

However, I didn’t like the way the nurse there put it to me. She said Aaliya was overweight. Can you imagine! OVERWEIGHT?! I was kinda pissed off with the way she put it to me, but looking at the weight and month chart, Aaliya was clearly above any of the curves. *lol* Consolation for me is, I measured her height and it kinda looks like she’s off the charts too so I’m at least pacified that she’s getting taller as much as she’s gaining weight. Hmmm… well, when she got injected, her eyes opened really wide and she gave a loud wail for about 5 seconds and then stopped. Hehe.. banyak lemak agaknya jadi tak rasa sangat.

That’s my Lil’ Pink Riding Hood-ed, darling, 5.57kg, baby. Hehe.. tembam macam iboo & ayahnya juga. *lol*

We made a trip down to clinic today. Got Aaliya for check-up to get doc’s opinion on the phlegm-y state of my lil’ daughter. Alhamdullilah, it’s not very bad but doc prescribed some nose drops in case it got worse. Doc also weighed her and guess what? Aaliya is already a hefty 5.17kg! Phew. That’s kinda big for a 1-month old, apparently. Ber-musclelah aku tak lama lagi.

Anyway anyhow, after that, we went out for a while to grab a bite.

And finally got to snap a family photo of us. Hehe.

Since we have over 400 pics of Aaliya, all taken on impulse this past month, let me share 2 of which will get me giggling every time I look at them. First up, her Yoda impression. Of course, Dy didn’t like me juxtaposing the 2 together. Haha…

And secondly, her wrapped in nappy all ready for bath. I sorta made it look like an ihram and with her just-shaved head, how appropriate. Wakaka.. and notice her birthmark on the left arm?

I think’s Aaliya’s gonna really be embarassed when she sees her pics in future. Hehe. But she really makes Dy & I smile even after a long night of looking after her.

I’m in love.

Nope… Aaliya isn’t a month old yet. She will be 4 weeks old this coming Wednesday, though. But based on the day she was born, which is 28th May, she’ll be a month old this coming Sat. Hmm.. I’m confused.

Anyhows, what I meant by 1 month is, the 1 month June hols is coming to a close already which also means, I’m left with slightly more than 2 more months of maternity. Goodness me. Time flies by so fast. Thank goodness though I’ve applied for unpaid so, I’ll only be back in school in Term 4. Aaliya’s growing bigger by the day and Dy, finally will start his NIE education. Despite how fast things are whizzing past, I feel blessed anyways.

Oooo, I’ve lost another 5kgs which means I’ve eliminated 15kgs of my pregnancy weight. Another 10kgs, and I’ll be back to my original post NIE size (which, somehow along the way, underwent a series of weight fluctuations). Hehe. It feels almost impossible considering I can’t wait to lay my hands on cold drinks and ice-cream again. Literally, my mum has put me on cold turkey on those stuff with being in confinement and all. But I suppose being denied all those things, worked. Looking at my pics from 3-4 years ago or even my wedding photos sometimes motivate me but on some days, makes it feel like a looOOoog way to go. Haha. So, let’s try to shed a few more kilos, shall we? I’ll see how long I can keep this up even after confinement period.

Iboo shall try. Heh. Ganbatte-ne~

(P/S: FYI, Iboo = Ibu. *lol*)

Baby Aaliya turned 21 days today. Kinda surreal thinking that next week, she’ll be reaching her 1st month. It feels just like yesterday that I was counting down to her arrival.

But then again, she’s already the size of any 1+month old baby. Hehe.

Anyhows, alhamdullilah, I didn’t exactly have a wound infection. Apparently it was just some fatty tissue and water oozing out from the hole in my stitch. All I have to do now is to keep going to polyclinic to change the dressing until that hole closes. Ah well… I’m just glad every other thing is ok. In fact, I’m happy I can fit into my jeans again. Not the smaller size jeans I used to wear, yet.. but I believe I will get there. My butt’s still too big but since I can see my waist again it’s a good sign for now. Haha. Just need to get rid of a bit more flab in the front and I’m good to go. Weehoo!

And oh, finally, Baby Aaliya’s breast-feeding from my breasts. *lol*. She wasn’t keen on it when I tried before this. I had to pump it out and give her via bottle. But from yesterday, she accepted it. i must say, breast-feeding is very interesting. Kinda painful when I started (since Baby Aaliya gets really rakus at times.. heh) but soon, it makes me feel blessed. To be able to feed my baby.

Oh well… I’m off now. Accidentally hit my Big Baby. Gotta console him plak.

On Sunday, I went down to KK 24-hour clinic.

I had a wound infection which caused yellowish pus to secrete from my stitch. Somehow, the liquid found a 1.5cm opening in the middle of my stitch and oozed out. So I’ve been to and fro to polyclinic to have dressing put on it these past few days.

Ah well, meeting my gynae again tomorrow. Hopefully, it gets better.

Truthfully, although my family, the docs, the nurses and even Dy have nagged and reminded me about not carrying Baby Aaliya (since she’s quite weighty), I seriously couldn’t stay away. So, I know it’s partly my fault that I’ve a hole in the middle of my stitch. Heh. But then, tell me… how can I resist?

Macam anak burung nganga tunggu ulat. Hehe. Siap dengan air mata seketul tu.

As of today, she’s 2 weeks old! (pandai dia tengok camera)

See the resemblance? =)
