the big-huge family!

it's been nearly two months since my last post.. sekarang nak menulis, tapi tgh tak tau nak start dari mana.. mungkin sebab dah lama sangat tak menulis kat blog ni sampai berkarat sikit idea nye.. huhu.. so let's start with my latest family picture.. taken on the recent Eid-ul-Adha at 'rumah besar' as referred by Nabil. oh its so cute Nabil refers to Tok Ummi's house - the house he lives in - as 'rumah besar'. his parents bedroom is 'rumah Nabil', the house i'm living in is 'rumah Ikram', and so on.. he can even differentiate between Muja's Myvi and Kholah Tikki's Myvi although both are silver in colour. and he knows if the turqoise Hyundai Getz he sees on the road is not his mother's. such a brilliant boy, subhanallah! Ammar is the second grandson of the huge family. he's also super-duper cute and clever. he's a huge fan of Tok Abah's iPad and calls it 'pad'. one day he was at his other grandfather's h

just for the record :)

at 5 month ikram starts weaning, eating fruits n vegetable puree and everyone immediately commented that he put on weight!; ikram knows how to roll from his back to front a week before he turns 5 months; he learnt how to pass his rattle from his right hand to his left and back again before he turned 4 months; he could giggle when he turned exactly 3 months; he couldn't wear his newborn clothes anymore a week before he turned two months. he was too long for them already; a week before that he started smiling 'real smiles' and learns how to play with people; 4th October will be Ikram's first day of school @ hadhonah adni praying that everything will go on well, nshaAllah :)

for Palestine

Image
Last week was quite hectic for us when Mavi Marmara was attacked by the Israelis. Mujahid's father a.k.a. my father-in-law was one of the activists @ volunteer on that freedom flotilla. Suspense was indeed in the air as I watched the news on al-Jazeera and a Turkish online website, as we all waited for Abah to call home - if he is still safe and sound. Alhmdulillah, Allah knows best, a couple of days later the Israelis let free the 12 Malaysians who were on Mavi Marmara. As you all had already known, they were sent to Jordan. Abah called home. Several weeks back, Mujahid had asked me to translate his CV to join the cause. Sorry Abang I really had to hesitate because I was so not ready to raise our baby alone for now, not even for a couple of days, in addition to some other reasons.. It's not "never" it's just "not yet".. inshaAllah.. Anyways, on Tuesday 1st June 2010, Ikram Fakhri went off for his first demonstration for Palestine. Being the youngest dem

fuh.. fuh.. **tiup blog berhabuk** konon2 berazam nak record pengalaman pertama perjalanan 9 bulan bersama kehidupan lain di dalam diri, tapi nampaknya kurang berjaya.. how fast days goes by, kan! tup tap tup tap dah 8 bulan lebih pregnant.. nearly 38 weeks! i'm telling you - those who never or have not experienced this - it's really not an easy thing. but i admit that what i've experienced is nearly nothing compared to many other pregnant women.. this third trimester (7th-9th month) really made me feel like i'm pregnant. LOL~ trust me, before that i still could run up and down the stairs and move about like i'm not carrying any extra load. but suddenly after 7 months of being pregnant, i started to feel some limits to my movements, and that limit increases from week to week. anyways, last week i was admitted to the hospital for a night. actually i went to the hospital just to inform them about my baby's current condition, i.e. baby is currently breech, and also

sapu habuk - examingitis...

35 weeks! today's 23rd march, and in a month time it'll be 23rd april! the estimated birth date of this little mujahid in my tummy ^__^ baby is now still in breech position, i.e. he's sitting upright instead of head down. this minimizes the probability of baby coming earlier than the expected date, but let's all pray that he'll turn upside down soon.. or a c-section would be waiting for me T__T it's not really impossible to give birth to a breech baby normally, but doctors said better not take the risk when he's the first child. hmm.. alhamdulillah last night i'm done with all projects and tests. oh, except for one more assignment to be submitted on 1st april. now i have to struggle my way for the final exam on 27th march, 2nd april, 6th april n 8th april. four subjects. all the best to me~~

baby says: my first checklist~

Image
Mommy finally made a checklist of what to buy for me.. To my aunties who have experience in this, can you please help her identify if there's anything else needed? Clothes - clothes, 5-8 pieces - pyjamas, 4-6 pieces - mittens & socks (all same colour, in case one gets lost..) read more... p/s: baby's posts will officially be posted at the family website from now onwards :)

25-26 weeks~

we did the ultrascan yesterday. he was sleeping, but he suddenly woke up and we saw him opening his eyes! taking a peek of those who are looking at him ^__^ *although he can actually just see bright lights not people yet =P* from this ultrascan i think he'll look a lot more like his daddy ^__^
