noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:35:00 +0000

Today is Muaz's 2nd birthday! Dah besar anak ibu rupanya...Cam cepat jeh rasa masa berlalu.

Takde wat birthday party pon arini. Ayah pon xder, ada meeting kat Melaka. Just celebrate ngan TokMak, TokBah. Kuar g makan-makan, then TokMak TokBah belikan adiah. TokMak gave Muaz the Ride-on excavator and TokBah kasik Mixer Truck. Seswai lah ngan Muaz yg giler Excavator n' sume mega machine tuh. Ibu lak kasik Aquarium bersama ikan2 yg comel.... will buy that table-chair set tomorrow later k... n' Ayah is supposed to bought Muaz a bicyle (the bigger one).
Birthday cake pon kecik jeh with small yellow aeroplane on it. Muaz really like it, x sabar2 nak potong. Dah beli kek kecik pon still x abes makan.
We'll having ur birthday party later with ur cousins, okey....?!

Doa ibu sempena hari penuh bermakna ini.... Semoga Allah sentiasa memberkati hidup Muaz, sentiasa beroleh hidayah-Nya, jadik anak yg soleh, jadi insan yg disenangi semua org, jadi budak yg bijaksana & beroleh kebahagiaan dan kegembiraan yg berpanjangan....amin....

Ibu mmg xplan nak beria sgt pasal early education for my Muaz. For me, let him learn naturally... zaman kekecik ni...biarlah dia merasa main pepuas... Walau pun zaman skang ni org dok berlumba2 utk wat anak diorang leh membaca seawal mungkin, ibu rilex jeh...
Erm, xpe ke mcm tu? Kira x berapa berwawasan lah ibu Muaz ni eik... Tp, dlm gitu pun...ibu ada gak selit2 informal learning things kat dia especially masa main n' breastfeed. Dan yg ibu utamakan, melayan kerenah beliau sepenuh hati.

Alhamdulillah, at age 1+, Muaz started talking. N' now nak masuk age 2, mulut dia sgt lah riuh! Bila dah pandai ckp, pandai lah plak give order kat org! Pepagi kalo kat umah Tok Bah, dah pandai mintak' "Tok Bah, nak nasik agang!". Wa... dah siap boleh order nak makan ape...tambah pening lah ibu. Arini plak dia dok ngaruk nak brokoli. Payah plak ibu memujuk sbb xde sayur tu. Muaz...Muaz....

Tadi plak, sedang ibu dok iron baju... tetiba ibu dengar dia mengira.. bila intai2, rupanya tgh kira sweets dlm balang kuih raya. Alhamdulillah... walau pun ibu x ajar sgt pun, Muaz dah boleh mengira dgn betul before age 2. Terus tetiba rasa excited plak nak start mengajar dengan beria nya... tp, xpe la.. let him continue learn naturally....no force, no pressure...

Sembahyang pun dia dah pandai buat pergerakan, amek wuduk... Tapi bacaan, cuma tau Allah hu akbar...aje la! Bersin pun, pandai tutup mulut idung n cakap Alhamdulillah..

Alhamdulillah...Muaz memang terang hati... dalam 'gembeng2' Muaz, bijak jugak budak ni rupanya...

La..Abes dah RAYA?

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:52:00 +0000

Sekali lg ibu terkedu... bila nengok2 kalender, rupanya arini last Syawal! Cepatnya masa berlalu... cepatnya Ramadhan berlalu, secepat itu lah raya pun abes... dan sekali lagi ibu tergolong dlm golongan org yg rugi...ini dah thn ke 2 ibu x dapat posa 6. Hehe...alasan yg paling kukuh, sbb nyusukan muaz...xlarat.... pd hal sebab skang dah 'selera besar'! haha....

Tapi raya kali ni memang x best.. sebab utama, abang sekeluarga x dapat balik raya! Terus xde mood nak raya sakan. Sampai kan gambar raya pun lupa nak amek! Huuhuu... Dah tu, lepas abes je cuti raya, ayah bz memanjang... wiken plak, kami mem'bz'kan diri dok berulang ke kl jeh...sudahnya, x sempat lah berkunjung ke umah kekawan... kalo ada pon, takat g umah yg wat open house jeh. Agak2 kalo dah abes raya pun dtg beraya aci x?

.: Ramadhan yg Berlalu :.

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:25:00 +0000

Alhamdulillah.... sedar tak sedar dah nak abes pon sebulan umat Islam berpuasa... dan Syawal pun semakin hampir tiba. Dalam suasana beberapa hari nak raya ni, yg pasti bebudak lah yg paling seronok skali. Sana sini dok berdentam dentum meriahnya org bakar duit. Tokei2 kedai lak, paling manis senyumannya time gini. Surirumah sure lah dok kalut menghias umah dan wat kueh... Tp, sian kat satu golongan ni. Dalam org sumer dok hepi nak sambut raya, diorang jeh yg dok harap moga2 lambat lah lagik raya sampai. Itu lah dia, tukang2 jahit! (Including my mom!) hehe....

Namun, dlm kegembiraan kita nak raya ni, sama2 lah kita ingat2 juga Ramadhan yg hanya tinggal sedikit ni. Di waktu2 yg hujung ini lah ganjarannya berlipat ganda. Andai kita belum memanfaatkan sepenuhnya bln yg penuh kerahmatan, kemuliaan dan keampunan ni, masih belum terlewat lagi untuk mengejar segala ganjaran yg dijanjikan. Di harap di samping segala kesibukan menyambut Syawal, kita masih tidak lupa untuk mengaut segala ganjaran yg dijanjikan Allah di bulan mulia ini. Kerana belum pasti, adakah tahun hadapan kita masih berpeluang bertemu Ramadhan lagi.

Sebagai penutup, sama-sama kita renungkan hadith ini. Semoga kita beroleh keghairahan untuk merebut ganjaran di hari-hari akhir ini, Insya-Allah.

Abu Hurairah ra. meriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah SAW bersabda: "Umatku telah dikurniakan dengan lima perkara yang istimewa yang belum pernah diberikan kepada sesiapa pun sebelum mereka. Bau mulut daripada seorang Islam yang berpuasa adalah terlebih harum di sisi Allah daripada bau haruman kasturi. Ikan-ikan di lautan memohon istighfar (keampunan) ke atas mereka sehinggalah mereka berbuka puasa".

Allah mempersiapkan serta menghiasi jannah yang khas setiap hari dan kemudian berfirman kepadanya: "Masanya telah hampir tiba bilamana hamba-hambaKu yang taat akan meninggalkan segala halangan-halangan yang besar (di dunia) dan akan mendatangimu."

Pada bulan ini syaitan-syaitan yang durjana dirantaikan supaya tidak menggoda mereka ke arah maksiat-maksiat yang biasa mereka lakukan pada bulan-bulan selain Ramadhan. Pada malam terakhir Ramadhan (orang-orang yang berpuasa ini) akan diampunkan." Maka sahabat-sahabat Rasulullah SAW pun bertanya: "Wahai Pesuruh Allah, adakah itu malam lailatul Qadar?" Dijawab oleh Rasulullah SAW: "Tidak, tetapi selayaknya seorang yang beramal itu diberi balasan setelah menyempurnakan tugasnya."

Rejab - Bulan Penuh Kemuliaan dan Pengampunan

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:08:00 +0000

Amalan terbaik di dalam bulan Rejab ini ialah berpuasa. Maksud hadis Rasulullah S.A.W. tentang kelebihan berpuasa di dalam bulan Rejab adalah seperti berikut:

Puasa 1 hari - Seperti berpuasa 40 tahun dan mendapat keredhaan Allah serta syurga tertinggi.
Puasa 2 hari - mendapat kemuliaan besar daripada Allah dan dilipatgandakan pahalanya.
Puasa 3 hari - dijauhkan dugaan dunia oleh Allah, dijadikan sebuah parit panjang yang menghalangnya ke neraka,
Puasa 4 hari - diselamatkan daripada siksaan akhirat kelak serta fitnah Dajjal.
Puasa 5 hari - aman dari azab kubur.
Puasa 6 hari - dibangkitkan dari kubur dengan muka bercahaya.
Puasa 7 hari - Allah mengunci 7 pintu neraka jahannam baginya.
Puasa 8 hari - Allah membuka 8 pintu syurga baginya.
Puasa 9 hari - keluar dari kuburnya lalu menyeru "Laailahaillallah" dan tidak ditolak dia dari memasuki syurga.
Puasa 10 hari - Allah memperkenankan semua permintaan dan hajatnya, dijadikan hamparan perhentian di titian Siratul Mustaqim setiap satu batu dan dijadikan 2 sayap untuk terbang seperti kilat di titian Siratul Mustaqim.
Puasa 13 hari - Saidina Ali berkata bahawa fadilatnya seperti puasa 3,000 tahun.
Puasa 14 hari - Saidina Ali berkata bahawa fadilatnya seperti puasa 10,000 tahun.
Puasa 15 hari - Allah mengampunkan semua dosanya yang lalu di samping menggantikan amalan kejahatan dengan amalan kebaikan. Saidina Ali berkata bahawa fadilatnya seperti puasa 100,000 tahun.
Puasa 16 hari - dapat melihat wajah Allah di dalam syurga dan orang pertama menziarahi Allah di dalam syurga.
Puasa 19 hari - Dibina sebuah mahligai di hadapan mahligai Nabi Allah Ibrahim dan Nabi Allah Adam.
Puasa 20 hari - Allah mengampunkan segala dosanya yang lalu, dan melakukan amalan baik dengan baki umurnya.

Lain-lain:

Sesiapa yang berpuasa 3 hari dalam bulan Rejab dan beribadat pada malamnya seperti dia berpuasa 3,000 tahun, diampunkan baginya 70 dosa-dosa besar setiap hari, ditunaikan 70 hajat ketika keluar nyawa dari jasadnya, 70 hajat ketika di dalam kuburnya, 70 hajat ketika terbang suhuf (ketika Al-Quran dinaikkan ke langit), 70 hajat ketika ditimbang amalannya di Mizan, dan 70 hajat ketika melalui titian Siratul Mustaqim.

Berpuasa pada 27 Rejab (Hari Israk dan Mikraj) seperti berpuasa 60 bulan pahalanya, jika disertai dengan sedekah seumpama puasa 1,000 tahun.

Dapat meminum air sungai yang dinamakan Rejab yang mana airnya lebih putih dari susu, lebih manis daripada manisan, lebih dingin dari salji.

Setiap umat Islam yang berpuasa di bulan Rejab seperti mengerjakan ibadat seumur hidupnya.

Tambahan bersedekah seperti beribadat seribu kali haji dan umrah.

Dibina untuknya seribu mahligai dengan seribu bilik dan seribu bidadari, lebih cantik daripada matahari seribu kali.

Sedekah di bulan Rejab seumpama sedekah seribu dinar, dituliskan kepada tiap-tiap helai bulu romanya seribu kebajikan, diangkat seribu darjat dan dihapuskan seribu kejahatan serta dijauhkan daripada api Neraka. Orang yang lemah dari berpuasa di bulan Rejab hendaklah bersedekah tiap-tiap hari, sekurang-kurangnya sebuku roti.

Kelebihan lain bulan Rejab:

Di dalam bulan lain Allah membalas amalan umat-Nya 10 kali, tetapi di dalan bulan Rejab Allah akan membalas amalan umat-Nya 70 kali.

Sesiapa meminta ampun (beristighfar) pada pagi dan petang 70 atau 100 kali di dalam bulan Rejab, diharamkan tubuhnya daripada api neraka.

Rejab bulan Allah, Sya'aban bulan Rasulullah. S.A.W, Ramadhan bulan umat Rasulullah S.A.W.

Rejab adalah bulan menabur benih, Sya'aban bulan menyiram tanaman manakala Ramadhan bulan menuai.

Amalan di dalam bulan Rejab menyucikan badan, Sya'aban menyucikan hati manakala Ramadhan menyucikan roh.

Rejab adalah bulan maghfirah (keampunan), Sya'aban bulan syafaat manakala Ramadhan bulan menggandakan kebajikan.

Rejab adalah bulan taubat, Sya'aban bulan muhibbah manakala Ramadhan bulan dilimpahi pahala amalan yang banyak.

Pahala amalan baik di dalam bulan Rejab diganda 70 pahala, Sya'aban diganda 700 pahala dan Ramadhan diganda 1,000 pahala. Beberapa amalan lain yang baik dilakukan dalam bulan Rejab:

Menyucikan diri daripada dosa dengan bertaubat dan memohon ampun

Membersihkan hati yang lalai dan alpa melalui amalan istighfar dan zikir

Mendekatkan diri kepada Allah dengan menunaikan solat

Memohon keselamatan dan kesejahteraan dengan berselawat dan berdoa kepada-Nya

Menginsafkan diri dengan membaca kisah teladan perjuangan Rasulullah S.A.W. dan sirah Islam lain.

Peristiwa penting yang telah berlaku dalam bulan Rejab:

Israk dan Mikraj (27 Rejab)

Solat 5 waktu difardukan ke atas umat Islam (Malam Israk Mikraj)

Perang Tabuk terjadi di dalam tahun ke-9 Hijrah.

Secara ringkasnya, Israk dan Mikraj adalah sebuah peristiwa di mana Nabi Muhammad S.A.W telah di"israk"kan (dibawa berjalan) dari Kota Mekah ke Baitul Muqaddis serta di"mikraj"kan (dibawa naik ke atas) ke Sidratul Muntaha untuk mengadap Allah S.W.T di mana Solat 5 waktu telah difardukan ke atas umat Islam melalui Rasulullah S.A.W. Semuanya berlaku di dalam satu malam sahaja. Firman Allah SWT:Maha Suci Allah yang telah memperjalankan hambaNya pada satu malam dari Masjidil Haram ke Masjidil Aqsa yang telah Kami berkati sekelilingnya agar Kami perlihatkan kepadanya sebahagian dari tanda-tanda kebesaran Kami. Sesungguhnya Dia adalah Maha Mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui - Petikan dari Surah Al Israa ayat 1.

DOA BULAN REJAB:

Ya Allah, berkatilah kami pada bulan Rejab dan bulan Sya'aban serta sampaikanlah kami ke bulan Ramadan. Aku bermohon keampunan Allah yang Maha Agung dan tiada Tuhan melainkan Dia, yang hidup, yang berdiri sendiri dan aku bertaubat kepadaNya. Ya Allah, Engkaulah Tuhanku, tidak ada Tuhan yang patut disembah kecuali Engkau yang mencipta aku. Aku adalah hambaMu dan aku dalam genggamanMu. Aku dalam perjanjian (beriman dan taat) kepadaMu sekadar kemampuan yang ada padaku. Aku berlindung kepada-Mu dari kejahatan yang (mungkin) aku lakukan. Aku mengakui atas nikmat yang engkau berikan kepadaku dan mengakui dosa-dosaku. Kerana itu aku memohon keampunan-Mu dan sesungguhnya tiada yang dapat mengampuni dosa seseorang kecuali Engkau Ya-Allah.

Sahabat sekalian,
Semoga apa yang dicatatkan ini mampu memberi manfaat buat kita semua dalam meningkatkan ibadat kita kepada Allah SWT. InsyaAllah.

.: buku :.

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 11:07:00 +0000

Ibu sudah lama x beli buku n' baca buku..lagik la skang dah jd fulltime housewife, xde kene baca pape dah.. asik2 bc magazine or articles online. Rs rindu plak nak bc buku tetebal..can be fction or apa2 aje la... rasa rindu nak bc buku teks mcm masa belajar dlu pun ada gak! ahaks...

so, ada cadangan x apa2 buku yg best utk d cari?

.: Sedikit Update abt Si Muaz :.

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 10:27:00 +0000

Kerana sudah sekian lama ibu muaz x mengupdate blog ini...n' bila d buka sethn kemudian, ia sudah bersawang2...haha...mula la rasa x tau nak mula dari mana utk melupuskan sesawang itu....

so, I decide to start with a few updates abt Muaz...sempena awang ibu ni sudah 1 thn...

Dlm 11 bln gitu, muaz dah mula bertateh...n' skill berjalan nya itu dtg dgn berbagai2 skill lain yg sgt mengagum kan! (for me lah...anak sulung kan..)

as nurse kat klinik tuh bitau, budak biasanya dlm sethn lebey baru buleh 'reti' sket. so...ibu x de la nak start ajar memacam dah kat Muaz. So, when 1 day, masa tu Muaz dah dekat nak sethn... masa nak mandi, cam besa ibu bukak diaper Muaz. Pastu ibu letak aje kat tepi tu dlu. N' tetiba Muaz kutip diaper tu n' letak dlm tong sampah yg biasa ibu buang diaper tu. Wa..... sgt mengagum kan. N' then, lepas pada tu, satu2 skill n' kecerdikan anak ibu ni kuar. Alhamdulillah...kiranya anak ibu ni budak yg baikn' boleh menerima arahan lah jg. x la nakal mana...tp sgt la xreti duduk diam n' sgt payah nak tdo! Normal la tu kan?

Antara mende2 lain yg Muaz 'pandai' sendiri...

--> Bgn je tdo, terus amek tuala, kasik kat ibu...pastu tarik2 baju seniri....nak ajak mandi la tu.. kalau ibu suh g amek tuala pon dah pandai kenal tuala seniri or tuala ibu..

-->Tiap kali dgr org azan, pandai jeh dia wat aksi letak tangan kat tinge tu... pastu kalau dgr org bc doa, dia awal2 dah amin kan dlu. Tp, kalau org lain amin sapu muka,dia sapu pipinya yg tembam itu! haha...

-->Asal ibu bentang sejadah je, sebok dia yg naik sejadah dlu, pastu semayang...dah pandai qiam, rukuk n sujud! tp xde salam..tetiba je dah sudah! haha..

-->Pandai slm tgn org dah n' babai..(yg ni di ajar)

-->Sgt ringan tulang. Pantang nampak ibu wat kerja apa, rajin dia nak menolong. W/pun kekadang pertolongan mu itu lagik menambah kan kerja ibu! So, skang kalu ibu nak menyapu, ibu akan sediakan penyapu kecik utk dia sapu sama. Kalau ibu kemas tempat tdo, dia pun tolong la susun2 bantal tu. Kalau ibu basuh pinggan, pastu pass kat Muaz, Muaz la yg susun kan pinggan2 tu kat tempat nya... pendek kata mmg sgt boleh d harap...

hehe... itu la antara skill Muaz yg jadik seniri... sgt x sangka, dlm umur mcm ni rupanya sgt cpt dia meniru. So, pasni ibu dah kene hati2, supaya menunjukkan contoh yg baik2 aje! Tp, mmg sgt bersyukur Muaz turn out 2 b a good boy sbb ibu x de la berusaha sgt ajar dia memacam. Sbb rs dia kecik lg. Cuma yg pasti Ibu n Ayah sentiasa berdoa yg terbaik utk Muaz n cuba tunjuk yg baik2 je kat dia.

Tp rasanya antara sbb lain his positive improvements adalah kerana Muaz sgt mewah dgn kasih syg.. Iye la, ibu kan x kerja, so full time melayan Muaz je la (pujuk diri seniri ni..) n' walaupun Muaz ni bukan cucu sulung, tp sbb cucu2 lain berada nun d seberang laut, so Muaz sorang ni la jd cucu kesayangan. Di tambah plak dgn tokbah yg dah pencen..full time la melayan Muaz. Boleh ckp sbnr nya Muaz ni lagik manja ngan tok dia dari parents seniri..hehe...biasa la tu kan!

Alhamdulillah....mmg dh itu rezeki Muaz... bulat2 Muaz pun, ramai yg syg! Ibu doakan anak Ibu ni akan terus jadi anak yg baik, soleh, disenangi semua org.... amin.

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:04:00 +0000

Dah 2 hari Muaz demam...Ibu sgt risau... xde ujan xde ribut, (of coz it was raining 2day outside) tetiba Muaz demam. Ni kali ke2 Muaz demam. Tp dlu sbb kene cucuk!
Kalini x tau kenapa. Ibu tried kasik ubat, tp Muaz asik muntah..sampai ibu fobia nak kasik ubat.
Pagi ini aje dah 3x Muaz muntah... Sian anak ibu...
Tp d temperature kekadang naik...kekadang normal....
Should I bring him to clinic?

Muaz....cepat2 lah sembuh...ibu sgt risau...

Tp satu yg wat ibu syg sgt kat Muaz....even tho' you hav a fever, Muaz x ngaruk pun... n' still senyum2 nak ajak org main ngan dia...walaupun dlm keadaan x berdaya...

.: Breasfeeding :.

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:00:00 +0000

Just want to share something with Mommies out there...

What you and your baby need during breastfeeding
Some of the calories required for breastmilk production are supplied by body fat reserves laid down during pregnancy. However, additional calories are needed over and above your pre-pregnancy intake to provide enough energy to supply the needs of your growing baby. As you start to wean your baby, your calorie needs will gradually return to pre-pregnancy levels. Department of Health guidelines suggest the following amounts of extra calories during the first three months of breastfeeding: Up to one month - 450 calories Up to two months - 530 calories Up to three months - 570 calories However, recent research suggests that these figures are too high and that an extra 300-400 calories per day is enough for fully breastfeeding mothers during the first three months. There are two sets of figures for the additional calorie intake required after three months. Group 1 mothers are those whose breastmilk no longer supplies all or most of their baby's food after the first three months. Group 2 mothers are those who supply all or nearly all their baby's energy and nutrient needs for six months or more. 3-6 months: Group 1 - 480 calories Group 2 - 570 calories More than 6 months: Group 1 - 240 calories Group 2 - 550 calories

What should I be eating?
Think of breastfeeding as continued motivation to follow the healthy diet you followed during pregnancy. Focus on eating whole grains and cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables, and foods that provide plenty of protein, calcium, and iron (and, as always, an occasional treat is fine). Opt for nutritious snacks like yoghurt, sandwiches made with wholemeal bread filled with leafy greens and canned salmon, tuna, cheese or hummous, a jacket potato with baked beans, or fruit.
Drink plenty of water to help maintain your milk supply
Be sure to drink plenty of fluids - as much as eight to 12 glasses of water a day is about right. This will help your body to produce the milk you need for your baby.

Watch what you eat and drink
Substances like caffeine, alcohol, and other toxins can pass from your blood into your breast milk, so excessive amounts should be avoided. Nicotine from cigarettes and drugs also pass into your breast milk and should be avoided (your doctor can advise you on the suitability of prescribed medications). You'll be able to work out if your child is sensitive to something you eat or drink, because she'll show her discomfort by being unsettled after feeds, crying inconsolably, or sleeping badly. "If I drank caffeinated coffee I found I couldn't calm my daughter down," says new mum Kim McCarthy. "When I went back to decaf, she was fine." If a baby is allergic to something you've eaten, you may see a reaction on her skin (rash or hives), in her breathing (wheezing or congestion), or in her stools (green or mucousy). Ask your health visitor for more advice. While some women swear that hot or spicy dishes upset their babies, trial and error may be your best guide, as food-induced irritability differs markedly from one baby to the next. If you find you can eat garlic chicken or a fiery vegetable curry without making your baby unhappy, then dig in. One note of caution, though - some common colic offenders include broccoli, cabbage, onions and Brussels sprouts.
Get plenty of iron
If you took a vitamin supplement when you were pregnant, you might not need one now that you've had your baby. You may very well need an iron supplement, however. Many women have depleted iron stores during a good chunk of their childbearing years. Check with your doctor, midwife, or health visitor to see what she recommends. And if you do continue with a general vitamin supplement, remember that it can't make up for poor eating habits. Strive to eat a well-balanced, varied diet.

What about dieting during breastfeeding?
Lose weight gradually by combining a healthy, low-fat diet with moderate exercise. Rapid weight loss may pose a danger to your baby because it possibly releases toxins - normally stored in your body fat - into the bloodstream, increasing the amount of these contaminants that wind up in your milk. Plus, breastfeeding helps to burn up the fat deposited during pregnancy and uses it for producing milk. A mum who breastfeeds burns a lot more calories than one who doesn't, which means most breastfeeding mothers can lose around 0.5 kg / 1 pound a month, simply because of the energy demands of producing milk. Do still count on taking 10 months to a year to return to your pre-pregnancy weight, though. If you do decide to cut down slightly on your food intake, wait until at least six weeks after your baby is born. Limiting what you eat in the early weeks of lactation may reduce your milk supply.

Muaz Berenang2

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 17:49:00 +0000

Muaz n' Tok Mak

Aksi berenang setempat

Aritu lepas g amek Tok Bah kat UPM, Tok Bah terus ajak g Alamanda sbb nak berehat katanya (its his habit, relax==go to shopping complex! cool kan?! hehe...). Tp, uleh kerana a day b'4 ibu sama Muaz n' Tok Mak dah ke sana, kami g la ke mall ke 2 terdekat, Jusco Equine Park. Wow... sale x abes lg rupanya! Bagus2...ibu pun x beli lagik adiah ayah... d kala ibu baru nak start membelek..... Muaz dah dok uk...ak...uk...ak.... nak berguling plak dlm stroller. Mana buleh syg... d stroller isn't wide enough utk berguling2. Isk, dah tu bila x dapat nak pusing, apa lg...melalak la. Aduih...cemena ibu nak beli barang kalo mcm ni? Sudah nya...ibu bukak tray yg kat depan tu n' tiarapkan Muaz. Ha....baru la dia seronok! Tok Mak pun tergelak tgk apa yg ibu buat. gayat gak tgk Muaz duk mcm tu... tp Tok Mak ada dok tolong tengok2 Muaz sementara ibu tengok2 adiah ayah. Sudahnya...almost everyone kat dlm section tu dok nengok dgn muka pelik kat Muaz.

Haha... ada ke ibu lain yg sanggup buat macam ibu buat ni? Xpe la asal Muaz senyap. Dia ni mmg tersangat suka meniarap sambil 'berenang setempat'. Mmg x reti duk diam. Sbb tu la kot badan pun x naik sgt. xpe la syg...asal kan membesar dgn sihat n' gumbira udah la....

So, gitu la ceritanya Muaz yg berenang2 d dlm stroller....

:-)

.: Healthy Eating :.

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 10:06:00 +0000

Healthy eating is a vital part of your overall health. The guidelines for healthy eating are the same when you are pregnant as they are through the rest of your life. These healthy eating guidelines are the same for all members of your family and include eating:

Lots of different healthy foods—not just the same foods every day
More bread, rice, pasta, oats and cereals (especially wholemeal and wholegrain)
More fruits and vegetables
Less fat (less chips, snack foods, fried food and fatty take-aways)
Less sugar (less cakes, biscuits, soft drinks and lollies)
Less salt, by choosing reduced-salt processed food (by reading labels), using less salt in cooking and at the table.
It's also important to drink plenty of water every day. You should drink 6 - 8 glasses of water a day.

If your diet hasn't been as healthy as it could be, pregnancy is a great time to make some changes. Begin by making a few small changes that you can stick to. Once these changes are part of your everyday lifestyle, think about some more changes you can make.

Here are some simple, practical ideas that will help you start thinking about ways to make your eating healthier:

Have a piece of fruit for a snack instead of chocolate or biscuits
Carry a small bottle of water with you so you can avoid buying soft drinks while you're out
Replace a couple of meat-based meals each week with a dish based on beans or lentils
Have a look in your book shop or library for vegetarian recipe ideas
Include fresh fish or canned fish (such as tuna or salmon) regularly in your diet
Experiment with different grains such as barley, faro, couscous and brown rice to add more variety to your diet
Cut up raw salad vegies such as carrots, celery and mushrooms - store them in snap lock plastic bags in the fridge for snacking on throughout the day
Choose reduced or low fat dairy products instead of the full cream type
Try snacking on air-popped popcorn instead of chips and other fatty snacks.

When you are pregnant you will need to make sure that you eat foods with plenty of calcium, iron, fibre, protein and folic acid—each of these nutrients is especially important when you are pregnant:

Calcium is needed for your baby’s bones and teeth. Calcium-rich foods include dairy products such as milk, cheese and yoghurt. If you drink soy milk, ensure it is calcium enriched. You will also find calcium in almonds, bony fish such sardines and salmon.
Iron is important for healthy blood (so you don’t get anaemia). Good sources of iron include red meat, fish, chicken, eggs and wholegrain foods. A vitamin C source such as tomato or orange juice with every meal will help the iron to be absorbed.
Fibre and plenty of fluid is needed to prevent constipation. There is fibre in fruit and vegetables (especially if you do not peel them), wholemeal and wholegrain bread, rice, pasta and cereal (like porridge, Weetbix and VitaBrits).
Protein is needed to help the baby grow. Meat, fish, chicken, eggs, milk, cheeses, nuts, tofu, dried beans and peas are all good sources of protein.
Folic acid or folate is needed to help prevent spina bifida in your baby and is also important for your blood. Folate is in many green vegetables, chickpeas, soybeans, oranges, bananas, strawberries, cereals, nuts and Vegemite.

Even if you eat plenty of folate-rich foods, you will still need to take a folic acid tablet for the first 3 months of your pregnancy.

*Neway, so far I think I haven't eat enough food for me and my baby. I lost my appetite, so I have to force myself to eat. But I'll make sure that I had enough source of vitamins, carbs, proteins and calcium.

.: I'm 3 months already :.

noreply@blogger.com (Suraya) — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 09:33:00 +0000

This is what I found during surfing and scrolling for pregnancy info. Its interesting n' I'm happy to share it...

During the first 12 weeks or 3 months of your pregnancy, you will usually only put on about 1 or 2 kilos, or possibly less if you have morning sickness. Most of this weight is in the placenta (the afterbirth) and in your breasts, uterus and in the extra blood your body will make.

During pregnancy your body works harder, your heartbeat and breathing rate are faster. Hormones may make your breasts become tender to the touch, and become larger and heavier. Your uterus will get bigger and put pressure on your bladder so that you need to urinate (pass water) more often.

Week 3
You
Each week of your pregnancy is numbered by the amount of weeks from the first day of your last period. This means that if you have a regular four week cycle, week 3 of your pregnancy will actually be the first week after your baby was conceived. At this stage, you will not have missed your period and won't know if you are pregnant.

Your baby
During week 3 the fertilised egg burrows into the lining of your uterus and is the size of a full stop.

Week 4
You
During week 4, you still haven't missed your period, but if you have been trying to conceive (get pregnant) you will probably be feeling very excited as you wonder if you have been successful this month.

Your baby
Specialised layers of cells are beginning to develop, which will form your baby's vital organs, nervous system, bones, muscles and blood.

Week 5
You
By week 5, your period is late so you may begin to think that you could be pregnant and you may notice that your breasts are slightly bigger and tender to touch. But you may simply feel as if your period is about to start (some women have called the first couple of weeks of pregnancy the 'longest stretch of PMS they have ever experienced'!).

As soon as your period is a day late, you can do a urine pregnancy test. You can go to a doctor for a pregnancy test or you can buy a pregnancy testing kit from your pharmacy.

Some women may have already experienced nausea and vomiting by this time. This is known as morning sickness but can actually happen at any time of the day or night. The severity of morning sickness and how long into the pregnancy it lasts varies a great deal from one woman to another. For most women who do get morning sickness, the problem usually improves greatly by the end of the first three months, if not sooner.

Your baby
At week 5, your baby is about 2 mm long. Your baby's spine, brain, muscles and bone are already starting to form.

Week 6
You
You may be feeling very tired at this early stage of your pregnancy. Gentle, regular exercise such as swimming or walking will help you to feel less tired and more able to cope with the demands your pregnancy is making on your body.

Your baby
By the end of this week, your baby (called an embryo) has a heartbeat. Blood is pumping around the baby and out along the umbilical cord to the placenta. The placenta is an organ that acts as a filter. It allows oxygen and nutrients to pass to the embryo, and carbon dioxide and waste products to be eliminated. The placenta is also called the afterbirth.

Your baby's head and body are now defined and tiny buds appear where their arms and legs will develop. Your baby is now about 6 mm long—about the length of a grain of rice.

Week 7
You
Some women find that they are quite emotional during these early weeks of pregnancy, this is caused mainly by pregnancy hormones.

Some women may notice that their breasts are bigger now and the dark area (areola) around their nipples has darkened. You may see large 'goose bumps’ forming around the areola (called Montgomery's tubercules) and your nipples may become larger.

Your baby
Your baby's spinal cord and brain are developing and your baby lies within a sac of membranes and is supported by fluid known as amniotic fluid. Nostrils and lips now appear on your baby's face and the eyes can be seen under the skin.

Week 8
You
You may find that you have gone off certain foods that you used to like. Some women also have a taste like metal in their mouth, which is probably caused by pregnancy hormones. As your uterus is growing, you may need to urinate (pass water) more often because of the increased pressure on your bladder.

Many women notice that they have more vaginal discharge at this stage. This is quite normal, unless the discharge is itchy, uncomfortable or has an unpleasant smell. If your discharge is causing you concern speak to your doctor or midwife, as this may be a sign of a vaginal infection or thrush. Thrush is a common problem during pregnancy, but can be easily treated.

Your baby
The baby now looks more human - your baby's limbs can be seen and their hands and feet are taking shape … all this amazing growth, yet your baby is now around just 1.3 cm long!

Week 9
You
Many people talk about 'the glow of pregnancy', referring to the way a pregnant woman's skin looks. This glow is caused by an increase in oil on skin due to pregnancy hormones. But not all women feel this glow, and some may notice pimples because of this extra oil. Some women have the opposite problem and their skin becomes very dry. Either way, make sure you drink plenty of water (6–8 glasses per day) which helps to purify the skin.

Your baby
At the end of this week, your baby is now called a foetus, not an embryo. The limbs are growing quickly and the fingers and toes are forming. Your baby’s skeleton, which started as cartilage, is now changing to bone.

Week 10
You
You may find that your clothes are getting tighter around your waist and breasts. Your abdomen may look bigger, but at this stage it is often due to changes in your bowel (rather than your uterus getting bigger) and is nothing to worry about. Your uterus is now about the size of an orange and is still hidden within your pelvis.

Your baby
Your baby is now about 2.5 cm long and has tiny fingers and toes.

Week 11
You
Some women find that constipation is a problem during pregnancy. Pregnancy hormones relax the bowel, which means that bowel motions don't pass through as quickly. Increasing the fibre in your diet and drinking plenty of water will usually help. If you are still having problems, please talk to your doctor, midwife or pharmacist about bulking laxatives that are suitable to use during pregnancy.

Your baby
Your baby's internal organs are now all formed—including their ovaries or testicles.

Week 12
You
Often by now morning sickness is much less of a problem and you are probably feeling less tired. Your uterus is continuing to grow and is higher than your pelvis. From this stage on your baby's heartbeat may be able to be heard with a foetal heart detector.

Your baby
Your baby's head is becoming more rounded and the eyelids have formed and closed over the eyes. You still can't feel it, but your baby is moving around constantly in your amniotic fluid—they can now roll, stretch, yawn and wriggle their fingers.

*Rupanya 3months mmg dah ada baby dlm tu! Sgt2 excited rasanya! Padan la perut rasa senak semacam n' skrg kalau pakai baju kurung, kain dah x boleh pin! Well, my baby... duk baik2 ye kat dlm tu!
