<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you ask me, most probably my answer will be no. Well, in my case at least. How do I see the new beginning of the year 2013? I see it as a continuation of improvement. I see it as a time to not start as "a new me" but rather a time to reflect on who was I in the year 2012, and what can I change & improve from there. It's not being ' a new me' but rather ' a better me'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A lot had happen to me in 2012, the last 6 months have been very trying but have been the sweetest as well. What had happen had change me, made me discover my weaknesses & fortunately found my source of strength as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I learn a lot of things in 2012. I discover a lot of things about me as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hmm...Will babble more when I have the time. In which I dunno when. In da next 2 years maybe? </span><br />

It was due to fever & jaundice. Juz so dat I wont forget any event of it, chronology as below (<span style="font-size:85%;color:#000099;"><em>alamak, macam tulis email la plak ada 'as below' neh</em></span>):</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Wednesday (Feb2) - Went back to Jitra, hubby's hometown. Eryna started to eat fava beans (kacang sepat/kacang parang/ kacang itik <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color:#000099;">(bak kata nuli<em>)</em></span></span><em>).</em></span><br /><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></em><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Thursday (Feb3) - Eryna continue to eat da fava beans. Around evening, I've noticed a pale yellow colour at her white eyes. Try not to be da annoying-paranoid-mother dat I am, I told dear hubby bout it but still try to 'take it easy'.."InAllah xde pape la tu kot"...</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Friday (Feb4) - During Eryna's morning bath, her night pampers were with dark urine colour which is almost reddish. My first thought was "OMG, kencing berdarah ka?".. Immediately told hubby bout it & insisted to go to clinic for further check-up since her white eyes looks even more yellow to me. But since dat day we have dis kenduri arwah, my hubby told me to monitor for a few hours first. Though with uneasy feeling, I said OK. But approaching evening, Eryna started to have fever. OK, now clinic-is-a-must-go! But dat time hubby was about to go for Friday prayer. Wait again for him to come back from Friday prayer, then went back to in-laws house to take a bath & zohor prayer & off we went to KMC. Reach there around 4pm which is so full of people! We juz managed to see da doctor at around 530pm. By da time we reach there, luckily there is a 'pre-checkup' with da nurses, her fever already hit 38.8C, da nurses immediately gave her da bottom med. Right after da doctor saw Eryna's pale yellowish eyes, he immediately registered us to be warded for further investigation on why da jaundice happen. Blood test, urine test & even stool test. Do u noe how small kid's vein is?? Eryna's vein is so small dat da nurse are having difficulty to take her blood. She was crying but yet so brave..No struggling, no shrieking, juz keep still until da nurse finish taking her blood sample. Then she keep saying "ayah, ayah'..which means "darah, darah".. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Saturday (Feb5) - All those test results came back. Long story cut short, doc suspected her with G6PD deficiency dat caused a breakdown of red blood cells (RBC) from eating da fava beans. <span style="font-size:85%;"><em><span style="color:#000099;">(Ok, do googled G6PD deficiency, all those mothers & fathers out there.)</span>.</em> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">How is dat possible when all babies are screen with this G6PD test right after birth? Even her G6PD test dat day came out normal. But da doc highly suspect dat dear Eryna is having an intermediate G6PD deficiency & dats why she reacts so negatively with fava beans. Fava beans is a taboo-no-no-cannot-dont-ever-give-ur-kids-food for anyone with G6PD deficiency. G6PD is not a disease or whatever. It's an enzyme in surrounding our RBC. And any lack/deficient of this makes us or more correctly makes our RBC vulnerable towards certain drugs/food/things. There is a quite a long list of it, let's not spell it out here. But again, fava beans is a definite NO NO. Since her Hb & RBC count is quite low, doc suggested & we agreed to proceed for blood transfusion <em><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000099;">(masuk darah ye, bukan tukar darah)</span></em>. I did take some pixies with my crappy hp camera, <em><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000099;">(dun get me wrong, I luurrve my current hp, but I have to admit dat da camera is a bittt..ermm how shud I say? A bit crappy)</span></em> will ty to share it later.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Sunday (Feb6) - After yesterday's blood transfusion, did a blood test again. Alhamdulillah, Hb went back to normal, no fever, no rashes but yes a diarrhoea, which is quite normal as what have been told by da paed. Discharge from the full-of-medicine-smell <span style="color:#000099;"><span style="font-size:85%;">(<em>of course it's full with medicine smell, its a hospital! Wut do u expect? Freshly baked buns & cup cakes?)</em></span> </span>KMC at 6.00pm. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">OK, dats about it. Almost da whole nutshell of da full story. </span>Mommy Erynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18281562156832663035noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010269132006045069.post-59401381886814829572011-01-04T14:41:00.003+08:002011-01-04T15:02:35.894+08:0011 weeks<span style="color:#000000;">Alhamdulillah, juz open my 2nd red book yesterday. Both me & hubby went to da klinik kesihatan a bit late at around 3.30pm. the nurses were oredi rushing to go back home..*sigh*..</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">At 11 weeks:</span><br /><ul><li><span style="color:#000000;">Shortness of breath & sometimes a sudden anxiety feeling - I've been told dat it's normal during late pregnancy. But to experience it during 1st trimester? I read somewhere dat it's because of progesterone hormone dat limits da movement of lung dat causing dis? Haihh...juz hope dat it's nothing serious..</span></li><li><span style="color:#000000;">Stomach nausea & gassy - I've been having dis for almost 2weeks now..which also include giddiness, dizziness, headache which is not really a headache.</span></li><li><span style="color:#000000;">Unusual fatigue - I can juz lay my head on a pillow & I'll easily fall asleep juz within a minute! Again, juz hope dat it's not a symptom of anything serious.</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#000000;">I have a mixed emotions about dis pregnancy. I'm crazy happy, excited & thrilled but at da same time I'm also scared to death for I dunno what reason. *sigh*</span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;">Neways, I'm trying to make a weekly "update" but I dont think dat I can really do it, me being such a lazy-bone..Another *sigh*</span></p><p><span style="color:#000000;">I'm feeling a bit demotivated today..Not because of dis pregnancy of course..Work related I guess...Haihh..I juz wish dat I can go home early (<span style="font-size:85%;">on time</span>) today... :(</span></p>Mommy Erynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18281562156832663035noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010269132006045069.post-64248719434770674542011-01-02T05:10:00.002+08:002011-01-02T05:19:03.724+08:00What happen at 5am?<strong>I'm blogging at 5AM from workplace.</strong> From the first word until da last word sound weird & crazy rite?<br />First, "I'm blogging" which is quite weird since I juz updated a few days ago?

Crazy.<br />Thirdly, "workplace". Being a normal shift employee, what in da hell am I doing at workplace at 5AM in da morning?!?

I hate my boss. Well,not personally, but wholly hate her. I hate da food here. It's unhealthy, distasteful & expensive. I hate my cubicle. No privacy ler. I hate my colleague for dragging me to Old Town every damn week! Da so called Nasi Lemak Special can't even compare with a plain rice with sambal belachan & fried anchovies. Not even a lil bit. Give me da latter any time of da day, man. I hate my stakeholder. Dey are arrogant, selfish & dey think dey are da only busy ppl here. U r not da freaking Prime Minister ok! Even da Prime Minister can rest when ha had da chicken pox. Go n get urself infected so dat u can chill out. Da company wont go bankrupt if u attend da meeting for 5mins. Da company wont shut down if u dont send da report immediately , u noe?! Wut's da difference in sending it at 10PM vs. 8am da next day? Da recipient will only read it in da next morning ok? Dey wont stay in front of da computer throughout da night waiting for your oh-so-valuable-<em>NOT!</em> report. Dey have a family & dey have a life. Unlike u, I guess. I hate da policy here. To change a cabinet lock in da office oso need a barricade procedure? U have got to be kidding me! Dey are not doing equipment PM la kawan.. Dis poor uncle juz want to change da broken key lock cabinet oni..In da office summore,not inside da manufacturing floor....U force him to wear glove? What for, u crazy idiot? Do u think ppl here cant see him doing work near da cabinet dat ppl will knock him? We are not blind ok? And if we are indeed blind, putting da barricade wont help anything! He spent there less than 5mins, do u noe? We spent even longer time in front of da cabinet. Do all of us need to put barricade if we need to take any document from there? ha?? <br /><br />I regret da day dat I apply for dis job. I regret da day dat I went for da interview. I regret da day dat I went for da 2nd interview. I regret da day dat I say "ya, betul" when my grandma asked me "betul ker nk tukar tempat kerja ni?". I regret da day dat I'm blinded by da money & say yes to dis job.<br /><br />Working here is really not healthy, it gives me hypertension & I'm really going crazy by da minute. There will be a day dat I will go completely mental & take da damn barricade & hit somebody with it! Every cloud have a silver lining, u say? Doubtful, I say. Very doubtful.<br /><br />p/s- M.E, stop complaining & be grateful dat u even have a job! <--- Dis is what I said to myself after da last fullstop. So dun worry, I'm not crazy yet. <em>I think?</em> *wink*Mommy Erynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18281562156832663035noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010269132006045069.post-73213568067335507012010-11-02T10:01:00.002+08:002010-11-02T12:20:09.601+08:00A note to mommyeryna<strong>A NOTE TO <span style="color:#ff0000;">M.E</span> FROM <span style="color:#ff0000;">M.E</span></strong><br /><br />M.E, stop being suzh a lazybones & start updating something here before this blog cease to exist!<br /><br />U have change ur job, went back to ur hometown, blessed with a new lil' brother & niece, went thru 6-weeks without ur hubby around, celebrated a happy raya, surviving each day dealing with work-stress, bought some nice shoes, gain a lil' weight, tanned a lil' bit & a lot other zillion things happened since ur last update!<br /><br />Stop pretending to be so bizzy dizzy dat u cant even spent 10mins time uploading dear almost-2yrs old-Eryna's pixies before dear hubby re-format da PC again & deleted all those files!<br /><br />As I was scrolling down this page, I noticed dat u've promised to post some of ur brother's wedding pixies here?!

I had to pull over in fear she would fall over from her car seat. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">I tried to belt her again but she struggled to escapes herself. Surprisingly she is VERY STRONG (<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#6600CC;">or maybe I’m afraid dat if I forced too hard I’m gonna hurt her. *wink*</span></i>). And she got a very loud voice too. Whenever i tried to lie her down, she screamed at da top of her lung as if I was canning her! In da end I just had to let her sit.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Look how happy she is dat she can sit & watch me drive. I know its dangerous but what choice do I have? It’s either hold her & drive or let her sit. I did belt her leg though.

Stare all u want. ;)</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mind you dis is not da first time & I really doubt its gonna be da last. Eryna has a very flexible body. She can definitely work her way out no matter how tight we belt her. I think da only solution is to either buy a new/better car seat (<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#6600CC;">dunno whether dis can help or not</span></i>) or master da art of driving with one hand.

Much more so to a mother. Much much much more so to a BF mother. Learned it da hard way, I did. <b>*sigh*</b>. I was infected with a really bad fever + flu + cough for da past week. My whole body aches with a really painful back. Even my sore throat; I can barely drink any water. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Since my pregnancy term (<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">or even before dat</span></i>) & since Eryna’s around we did really cut-off any night activities. No more night movies, less outside dinner, etc, etc. Dat is probably why with 11-straight-hrs of night traveling, improper meal (<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">E</span></i><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">id is really an excuse for people not to cook lunch or dinner</span></i>), cold weather, nursing Eryna, less fluid intake, my body cant take its toll. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">After 4yrs of panadol-free, on da 5</span></span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">th</span></span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> day of Eid I had to broke it. My head really aches; it feels like there’s a ticking bomb inside ready to expode. In da last 5days, I was prescribed with 2 different antibiotics (<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">d</span></i><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">a first one gave me an allergy</span></i>), 5 types of flu med, 2 types of cough med, a jab to reduce my allergy & running nose & an-antibiotic-like-med for my sore throat. Got 2days MC since da latest antibiotic is a bit on da higher dose, da doctor advised me to get a full rest. As I’m typing this, my fever finally cool down but unfortunately my flu & cough still continues. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">People been advising me to take extra supplement & ironically I do have all those vitamins in-house. Juz dat it’s there for decoration only.<i> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">“Makan bile ingat je”</span></i>. But now I finally realize dat I need all those vitamins to boost up my immune system, to maintain a good stamina & to have enough nutrition for both me & Eryna. Not to mention a balance diet & healthy life-style which is equally important as well. I don’t take veggies & barely follow the food pyramid , rarely take any intake of fruits & rarely exercised which leads me to opt for supplements & da need to change my life-style. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Da past week had been hard for me, Eryna & dear hubby. I was trying to avoid Eryna in fear she would also get infected. Except; of course; during nursing time or sleep time. Thanks to dear hubby for taking care of both me & Eryna. He even cooked dinner to ensure dat I get a proper meal. It reminds me dat I’ve once overheard my mom’s dua for her healthiness, her childrens’s healthiness, her husband & her families, in dat exact order. And I thought to my self; <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">“</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">Eh mak tk dahulukan anak2 pun?”</span></i>..(<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">Maafkan Elia mak kerana berburuk sangka.</span></i>).. How true it is,I realize now. We as mother need to take care of our health first so dat we can take care of others. </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Neways, it’s time to discipline myself & take control of my health. No more skip meals/supplement, fruits is a must-have at home, drink plenty of fluids, it’s high-time to include veggies to my daily-meal & will try to exercise as frequent as conveniently possible.</span></span></p>Mommy Erynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18281562156832663035noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010269132006045069.post-34102927861590715422009-09-29T10:50:00.007+08:002009-09-29T17:03:06.152+08:00Eryna's Eid Pixies<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Yay it's been almost 3weeks++ since I've last visited my nearly abandoned blog.

I lost a bit of weight, in which da nurse had threatened to admit me to da hospital if my weight continued to drop but rest assure, it jumped right up when Hari Raya came along. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />Dis year, instead of being pregnant InsyaAllah I will still be able to fast all thru Ramadhan since it’s been almost 17months (</span></span><em><span style="color:#6600cc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">inclusive 9months of pregnancy</span></span></span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">) since I’ve had my period. I think it’s because I’m still BF dearie Eryna which cause a twisted jumble to my biological clock. (</span></span><em><span style="color:#6600cc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I’ve been told dats its normal though</span></span></span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">). Anyways, with BF & Ramadhan, 2 issues come to my mind when I think of dis. </span></span><strong><span style="color:#000099;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Will it affect da quality of my BM? Will it affect da supply of my BM?</span></span></span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><strong><span style="color:#000099;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Tackling these issues, I found 2 very different arguments. Some studies showed dat there are no significant differences in da major nutrients of BM during & after Ramadhan, whilst other studies showed dat some of da micronutrients can decrease significantly. Well, I am GUESSING it shouldn’t be a problem because da food dat we usually eat during Iftar and Sahur should make up for it. I’ve always remind myself dat Allah itu Maha Adil. Fasting is one of da pillar of Islam & Islam is a religion dat encompasses all aspects of life and secures guidance & light for all mankind.<br /></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">And also I found a statement from Dr. Muhammad M. Abu Laylah, professor of Islamic studies and head of da English Department, faculty of languages and translation at Al-Azhar University, states: </span></span><strong><em><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">“If there is any harm to your baby if you stop breast-feeding him during the daytime or during the fasting hours, then you are allowed to break your fast and make up for what you miss of fast days whenever your circumstances allow.”<br /></span></span></span></em></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />But Alhamdulillah, for da past 10days, I do think dat I’m still fit to continue fasting.<br /><br />Da other issue is da supply of BM. Most of da articles I’ve read commented dat with da less intake of fluid, it will definitely affect BM supply. I’m still pumping at work but I’m banking on pumping only once or twice only since I’m fiercely dehydrated by da end of da day. But luckily I think I still have enough EBM stock to cover for whatever loss I might face during dis ramadhan.<br /><br />Eryna is currently taking about 4-5 bottles of 3oz on top of her 2 meals a day. And I’m able to pump around 10-12oz per day at work, so roughly I will be stealing 3-5oz of my frozen EBM stock daily. (</span></span><em><span style="color:#6600cc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Vowing to replace back all da frozen EBM. Fighting! :) </span></span></span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">)<br /><br />Anyhow, here’s a few tips & gladly share on how to survive BF during ramadhan:<br /><br />1. Ample amount of fluids (4 - 6 litres of water, milk, fresh fruit juices)<br />2. A good amount of complex carbohydrates (bread, rice and macaroni)<br />3. Three meals Iftar, Sahur and a snack in between<br />4. Dates during Sahur & Iftar<br />5. Horlick-Dates Shakes (Super delicious!)</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">6. Vitamins</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">7. Do not overstress yourself<br />8. Keep a positive mind<br /><br />But, do bear in mind dat BF mothers may be exempt from fasting if they feel dat their health or da baby's health would be negatively affected by da fasting. Do have da intention to fast & prove your intention by having a good & balance Sahur & observe your health during fasting. If you feel weak & you can observe dat your baby is greatly disturbed, then I might suggest for you to break fast. It really depends upon a lot of factors, how hot da weather is, how long da fasting is, how much effort you are expending everyday and these all add together in da decision whether or not to fast.<br /><br />Praying for Allah’s grace for me & Eryna to survive dis Ramadhan.

(<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">more than 3months</span></i>)…Lately I’ve been supplying Eryna with only fresh EBM, since it’s “fever season” & I’m afraid Eryna would get infected from any kids at da nursery. So I was kinda ‘neglect’ my frozen EBM (<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">Alhamdulillah I can still pump enough EBM for Eryna daily nursery need without ‘stealing’ from my frozen stock</span></i>), which might explain how I can miss those 5packets from March stocks.</div><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">p/s- I'm not saying dat frozen EBM is not good. Juz dat fresh EBM is preferable to frozen EBM.Freezing EBM destroys leukocytes, white cells which provide significant protective effects; live cells dat transfer immunity from us to our baby. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">At first I thought, alamak 25oz go down da drain.
