2 months old

Yesterday, we celebrated our first raya as a family.. :)

My two fav men in jubah putih..*loves*

Last night, Mr Bert left for KB to attend his best friend's wedding.
It was the first time we've been apart since Mateen was born.
And I cried like no one's business!
Being attached to your hubby ain't good.. especially when you have a little baby to look after at night ALONE.. boohoo..
Lucky thing Mateen 'behaved' well last night. One night down, 2 nights to go.

And today, Mateen turns 2 months.
60 days old, and my maternity has come to the end. Monday I'll start work. :(

Enough bout me, today I've managed to accomplish lotsa things for Mateen:-
1) Yippie-I account- done!
2) 2 month's check up- done! (and he didn't cry! My brave boy!)
3) DayCare Centre- finalized several things & going for trial class tmrw.
4) Doorgifts for Aqiqah- picked, now need to tie ribbons & glue some buttons.

The highlight for the day was Mateen's weight..he weighs 4.7kgs now! Alhamdulillah..
That's almost double the weight when he was born.My boy's catching up..:)

family-moon!

Today, I went back to my apartment to do some clean up, re-arrangement of furniture & installation of air-cond. The apartment is transforming into a home now. :) Now need to buy some book shelves & side tables..

Anyways,I came back home feeling rather tired. Didn't check my email the whole day until about a few minutes ago. Out of the 6 mails in my inbox, one of the email was from Mr Bert. He only wrote..

"Our first family holiday! Love you!"

Mr Bert told me a few days back that one of his client is giving him a 3D2N complimentary stay at this hotel. Since we missed the HRH on Mateen's birthday, I thought the hotel will be fully book for this upcoming school holidays. But thank my lucky stars, the bookings is confirmed!





As you know, I didn't get to go on my honeymoon..nor did I get to go for my babymoon. But finally, I am going for my first ever family-moon! Alhamdulillah, rezeki Mateen..
Two's a company, Three's a crowd!
Am counting the days..must remember to buy some sunscreen! Can't wait to get my feet on the sandy beach..:)

same name

Today is Mateen's first time on his stroller. I believe he enjoyed it very much.

No fuss at all! I think he can sleep all day if he wanted to..hehe..
That's a relief bout the stroller..Good boy Mateen!

At 51 days old, Mateen has already been to 3 shopping malls: Empire (twice), SACC Mall & KLCC. KLCC was rather a special treat, as he got to go into the Premier Bathroom for his nappy change (Tuk Mak insist!)


Anyways, had lunch with my mom, Tuk & Aunty Mah @ Serai, Empire. It was my 2nd time there..food was delicious, but of course I had to "eat fast" cause my little one was hungry for milk at the same time.

Upon leaving, I was putting Mateen into his stroller, when a waitress came up to me..

"How many months is your baby?"
"51 days today.."
"Aww..what's his name?"
"The name's Mateen"
"Ohh.. same like my cousin, his name is Mateen too"
"Really? This Mateen is spelled with a double e"
"Oh, same like my cousin! His full name is Ahmad Mateen"
"Oh my gosh! Thats the same with my son! But his Ahmad is spelled with an e"
"I see..."
"How old is your cousin?"
"He is 25 this year, getting married end of the year.."

Wow, I can't believe there's another dude with the same name. How cool is that! 25 years apart though. And I thought Mateen is not a common name..guess I'm wrong! :P

ps: pics taken from our new Canon Ixus 210, an advance anniversary pressie for Mr Bert. But as always, I bought it for him, but it's ours.. *winks* Love the features.. Me likey! :)

Mummy Bert is very busy

The long absence...it has been awhile, right?

Mateen is 46 days today.. which means that I have been a mom for 46 days.

A LOT has happened..the sleepless nights, the love-hate relationship in bf, the frustration of low milk production, the horrors of diaper changing, the restless crying..

But of course, there are those bonding moments..the million-dollar smile that happened in a sec, the round-crystleball-like eyes looking at you, the hugging & clinging on your chest before he sleeps, the double chins, the cushion cheeks, the growth spurts, the unconditional love..

My time has been occupied with this little fella, hence the lack of updates. When he is up, I would need to feed, burp, change, & play with him. If he's asleep, is either I am washing his cloth-diaper, or sterilizing his bottles, or pumping milk, or getting a quick nap (sleep debt). If I do surf the net, it would be just browsing, checking on fb & baby related websites.

I would love to write about my pantang days & more about mateen, but I have a feeling that he will be up soon. Guess my blogging days would have to wait until I have a total "Me" time.

Like they say, being a mom is hard, but it is worth every second of it.. :)
