Hamza is 3 weeks and 4 days old? or young? what i mean to say is, he's been in this world for 3 weeks and 4 days already. How time flies eh? And my little hero is now a big boy. He doesnt look newborn-ish anymore. Hehehe... It feels great being a mom. Walaupun susah sometimes, but thats the challenge and i am glad, my husband and family supports me all the way...
Talking about challenges of being a mom, there's just too many to mention. I remember when we first brought Hamza home, he was so unsettled. Changes in environment, made him abit restless. So i was most of the time awake rather than asleep. And you know.. Everything is all so new to both of us. It's either u read it up in the net, or ask from those with experience. Dua-dua pon buat. I on the other hand, was struggling with my boobies... i wanted to breastfeed him 100% so badly but i wasnt producing much at that time... It was all colostrum, and i got so depressed.. banyak kali i nangis. tp, actually the that was all that the baby needed pon.. day3, suddenly my boobies became soo engorged. Tried expressing it, failed. nothing came out! i couldn't do anything and it was soo painful. rase macam batu! I applied minyak panas la, mandi in hot shower... nothing helped. Not even Tuam... last2, i letak cabbage on it. The next morning, it felt better. Tapi i still couldnt express it. and hamza couldnt drain the milk well... Husband took all the trouble to 'bersihkan' my nipples kot-kot ada yang sumbat. last sekali i decided to stop trying to express when my colleague told me that i shouldn't start expressing too early... Lepas tu, i started experiencing let-downs yg banyak everytime i feed hamza... So at least i know that i have enough milk for hamza.
Now, Hamza is abit unsettled during the day. He will only sleep for a maximum of 1 hour. He used to sleep for 3 hours... but, now he sleeps longer at night. so, thats a big relief. Cuma its a bit tiring during the day coz all that could calm him down is by 'sumbat' susu... So i will be strapped on the bed/mana2 for a while la... Plus he refused to be put down... Jadi, i really appreciate the times when husband is around. at least i can breathe for a bit, while he looks after our little hero. hehehe..
Anyhoo, I keep reminding myself to always be grateful to the Almighty for all that He's blessed us with... And i am most glad to have such a supporting husband. hurmm.. cant live without him. okay.. bye
