Maternity Leave....Heaven!!!!

Enjoying my maternity leave so much. 24 hrs a day at home ..being with my boys...doing some spring cleaning....just lazing around ...catching up on my tv shows...like..scarecrow and mrs king..perfect strangers...brings back memories...

and of course..with the kids..me getting hooked on spongebob squarepants, jimmy neutron, ben 10..oh my....the cartoons now are so real ...just like any human being...or maybe...we human beings are leading life like cartoons???

i know i do sometimes...that what makes me tick i guess...:)

thanks G for sending the popiahs last nite..and just hanging out for awhile...enjoyed the company.

oh ya...starting to enjoy my driving lessons...but with only one particular instructor...got 2 others...but not so pleasant experiences...so will ensure to book in advance so can get the same instructor again.

The many faces of Anaqi Hilman

Updates

Wow!...My life has been such a roller coaster ride of emotions...Been a long time since I have the will to write again...

It all started on 6th Nov, Raiyan's 4th Bday...returned home to find Raiyan in a state of weakness... bought him a small cake and mini presents for him. The moment I stepped into the house..he cried out..saying he is not feeling well and felt nauseous...

Rubbed some oil on him...and he was perked up abit to cut the cake and open the prezzies..but after that he just succumbed to lying down...thennn it all started...he vomitted...

He was ok then...so I thought must be just wind...and gave him gripewater and he rested...the whole nite he vomitted again...

the next day...brought him to doctor..and got some medication..he was weak for about 2 days...didn't want to eat...occasional vomitting ....

then the high fever started....by that time..Raiyan looked so weak..and frail...brought him to doc again..was told he was abit dehydrated...if the whole nite he vomits again..then must go to hospital...

Sad thing was 8th Nov was his bday bash...the whole day..he just slept in the bedroom...no mood to even go out and take pictures,.so we just let him be...he vomitted once all over me...

from that nite onwards ...I was tormented with emotional feelings looking at him so frail and thin..with his eyes barely opening...and hearing him whisper when he talks...as he does not have the appetite to eat..but I kept on feeding him glucose drinks bit by bit and just hold him and towel him when the fever gets high...praying all the time that he will be ok and I don't suddenly have to go to labour...

By Friday, he was still week...so I brought him to KK...then monitored him for awhile as he drinks glucose drinks in 15 mins interval....and ensure that he can hold down the drink and not immediately vomit it out...he did...thank god. But then..that nite..his elder bro started vomitting..oh my....his vomit was more intense and he was hit with diarrhoea...so brought him to doc....he was also weak ...didn't want to eat cos afraid of vomitting.

the next few days...raiyan just lay down..and hugged me...and looked at my face and said.."ibu..sayang ibu...ibu tengok raiyan ok...ibu peluk raiyan ok"

and Zaidi was also craving for my attention..I have never felt so needed at the time...i even forgot to eat and sleep..

aduhh....ibunya tahu meleleh jer air mata...Raiyan's presents were still unopened until sunday nite...he felt abit better...could eat abit ..the brother was still weak...but drinking glucose

That nite I started having contractions...and seeing the kids could at least eat and drink on their own...I decided to go for checkup early on monday morning ...and guess what I gave birth to Anaqi Hilman that monday afternoon...so had to stay in hospital for 2 nites...the kids slept at the babysitters house with my maid...as I was just afraid they get sick again in the nite.

When i returned home. .. zaidi said.."ibu when u were at hospital..i cried to sleep and rumah ibu normah..as I miss you"...

Oh my.....after that...everything is back to normal..I am still in confinement...24 hrs a day at home...and my boys to keep me SO BUSY..!...Who said having 3 boys is a handful?? You just have to be in the situation to really know...heheh

Thanks to all who visited me at the hospital and home and the well wishes via phone and smses on the arrival of my newborn.

But things just got better....got our new family car yesterday..Toyota Sienta...alhamdullillah
