Hamza at 5 months

I am on leave today... Why? Hamza had his 5th month immunisation jab yerterday. I will usually stay in incase his temperature shoots up. So, that explains why. But Alhamdulillah, as until now, hamza is as active as ever. No muscle pain at the injection site, and no low-grade fever. Syukur. The previous jab was painful i know because he cried the whole evening, and i couldn't even touch his right leg. Sengal. He'd cry everytime we try to cuddle him, lift him up or when we try to put him down. It's so heart-wrenching. But it lasted for 1 day only. He got better the next day but with a low-grade temperature. Sian anak aku. But i am glad the nurse was more gentle with him this time.

At 5 months 8 days, Hamza now weighs 7.3 kg, and is 70cm long from head to toe. His head circumfeence is 42cm. Basically, he's growing well. Alhamdulillah. And still feeding on my milk. But at 5 months, he drinks 7 onz of EBM. Banyak!! So i've started him on solid. I had  no choice, but he too loves it to bits. I started him with apple puree. Now, we feed him rice [brand nestle tu] during the day. otherwise, it'll be a nightmare for me. Hamza is one baby with huge appetite and huge tummy as well. huhu. [anak baba la katakan]

Owh.. i want to share this incident that took place while i was in the room waiting for the nurse to check on Hamza. My son has a small white patch near the corner of his right eye. So, i requested to see the doctor. the patch looks to me like fungal infection. So yeah, i just wanted to confirm that it is fungal. The nurse took us to the doctor. baik hati dia. then she started the conversation..

nurse: awak kerja hospital bahagian apa?

me: Farmasi.

nurse: ooo. patutla awak tanya pasal anak awak. ubat dah tau la ni.

me: haah. saya nak confirm diagnosis je. 

nurse: awak pegawai kat Fever Center ke?

me: tak. tapi semua pegawai rotate kerja kat fever center. 

nurse: tu la.. ni nak cerita ni. maybe farmasi terlepas pandang kan? [aku dah apehal nurse nih?] 

           kebetulan smalam, doctor sendiri pegi amek ubat dari farmasi. dia datang kat kami tunjuk 

           ubat. doktor kata "tengok!farmasi bagi ubat dah 'expired'! ada ke?" 

me: [terkejut!] ye ke? staff nurse tau ubat apa?

nurse: tak tau pulak ubat apa. tapi memang dah 'expired' pon. doctor sendiri tunjuk kat kami ubat 

           tu. dia tulis 12/09. kan?

me: doctor pulang balik x pada farmasi? mintak ubat baru?

nurse: kami ada offer nak pergi balik pada farmasi. doctor xnak. itu lah. mungkin farmasi terlepas

           pandang atau pon farmasi nak habiskan stok. ye la, ubat batuk kan semua orang makan.

me: eh, xkan la kitorg nak bagi ubat yang dah nak expired. lainkali, pergi bagitau pegawai farmasi 

       tu. Janganla biar je. bagitau, supaya kami tau salah kami.

Bengang kejap! i mean, come on. How could the doctor? Went to the nurses, show to them our mistake and not tell us?! Apa masalah dia? Bagitau je la. Inform. Saje je nak mencari salah orang! I called up the staff incharge immediately and told her. She was definitely shocked to hear about the incident. And when checked, memang dah nak expired. I said to her, memang it is our mistake. negligence i shall call it. But does it hurt to tell us that the drug is nearing to its expiry date? does it? Maybe it does kan? Haiyooo..

On the contrary, after complaining about us not doing our job, she too didn't do hers well. She didn't even ask me about Hamza's development as accoding to the check-up book. All the other nurses asked me except this one. All she did was, gossip [it was more like a gossip than a complaint] and tulis-tulis dalam buku. tak tanya tak apa. aduih haih. 

Oklah, hamza dah menjerit-jerit! Got to go.

New Layout...

... YET AGAIN!

Well, to be honest.. i got bored of the old one. So.. Tadaa!! I like it. I hope you like it too. Plus, I have removed all those unnecessary widgets. kuangkuangkuang... Hurmm.. Now i feel like updating more often. Owh, Thanks to Blogger Templates. They've definitely helped make my life easier.

On a different note, Yeah, we've been travelling almost every weekends, December kan bulan bercuti. My sister and her family came back from the land of the Queen for a 2 months holidays. Then, we went back to visit my In-laws in Terengganu. Last weekend, we went to PD for a  mini gathering with the families from my dad's side. And it was all good. It was a good getaway from work. I'll find time to update on PD and maybe some other stuff. I am quite busy with work, and Hamza being Hamza. So irresistable.

Ok y'all. Till then.

Salam

Lets go to the Zoo

My brother in-law and his family are here in KL. So we thought, why not take them out, Jalan-Jalan in KL. Aquaria, too expensive. So, we've decided to bring Fatihah and Iqbal for a visit to the Zoo. Tengah hari begini. But i am sure the kids are going to enjoy watching the animals. I need to get ready yo!

Updated**

Setelah sekian lama ingin mengupdate our trip to the Zoo, baru la ada masa. Anyways, it was just a short trip. We spent close to 3 hours in the Zoo. It was just so good i tell you. We the adults were definitely more excited than the babies. They are still too young to understand. But hey, its never too soon right? Hamza slept 3 quarter of the trip. Hahaha. Only to wake up when we've done watching the lion roar.. RROAAAR!! huhu.

Zoo Negara is still a good place to bring your kids to. I'd rather bring my child to Zoo than to the mall. *walaupun Mall adalah untuk memuaskan nafsu shopping mama Hamza. kahkah. anyways, anyways.. The entrance fee, the last time i remembered, i paid rm3. Now, we paid RM20 per adults. Bayar je la. Lagipun, kalau yuran murah, how are they going to maintain the Zoo right? We took the Zoo tram coz its a bit too warm to walk. plus the babies, memang xlarat nak berdukung all the time. So yeah, we paid an extra rm3 per adult for the tram around the Zoo.

Other than that, i enjoyed having my brother in-law and his cute little family around, spending some quality time with our children. Plus, his children loves Hamza to bits. hehehe. So yeah, thats just about it. till then.

Lets go to the Zoo.. *sings

Bye-bye zoo!!

Happy

Alhamdulillah

Hamza was very cooperative with me, his father and his neyna. He was such an easy baby the night i had to leave him. Husband sms-ed me saying that he talked himself to sleep. Cute! He never does that whenever i am around. That's for sure. The whole 10 hour away-from Hamza felt like ages! I kept looking at the clock. Bila la nak pukul 8 pagi ni??!! There were times i felt like driving home to be with my baby. :( I missed my son terribly. I even cried at my husband before i left for work.

By 8 am, i was all ready to go home. Drove home as fast as i could. Aaaah. As i reach home, Hamza was already up and waiting for my return. I think so. My breasts were so engorged that morning. I forgot to take the breastpump with me to work because i was too busy being sad that night before i left for work. I fed Hamza immediately. It couldn't wait. The pain i mean.

I am most glad and grateful to Allah. Syukuur Alhamdulillah. Ya Allah, u can never imagine how worried and sad i was that night. And i know, Hamza is such a good son, and a very patient boy. I am most glad. Upah susu 1 hari. :) 

okla, i need to have some rest.

**on a different note, i'll be working the 5pm-11pm shift tomorrow!! Aaaargh! Hamza, tunggu mama balik ye baby.
