went to Cold Storage bought croissant (lapar, x makan lunch lg)

cashier: bape bulan kak?
saya: x sampai 2 bulan pun...
cashier: patutlaa kecik...
saya: da maknye kecik, bapanye kecik...

mr.R still on-queue while i ate croissant outside post-office...
(da jd mak budak pun makan berdiri kt luar post-office sambil sembang2 antara cermin dgn bapanye)
i window-shopping @ Parkson....
raina crying for milk when i entered guys section...
ala raina, mama baru nak beli surprise t-shirt for mr.R...
so, rushed to lift to go upstairs...
alhamdulillah, Parkson provide baby room for breastfeeding & change diaper...

my focus were to buy Raina's toys & flashcards but ilekk...
searched @Parkson, Anakku, Mothercare and Carrefour but still can't find toys suitable for her...
thinking of to buy online :)

@Anakku, Parkson...

promoter: kakak study lagi ke?
saya: taklaa, da keje...
promoter: ooo, ingatkan study lg...
saya: teka laa umur bape?
promoter: nampak muda... macam bawah 25
saya: mmg 25 pun...
(adakah 25 umur yg muda utk berkawen??)

Raina slept almost the whole day after i breastfed her @Parkson...
just wake up when we're @ Carrefour so mr.R finished our undone shopping there while me&Raina took a nap in the car :)
and we got home @ 9.30pm

• it was very busy & kalut for the 1st week with 2 cesarean newly mothers... so, we decided to take 'confinement lady' took care of us&babies for a month... alhamdulillah, mak Iti very helpful... she even assume our newborn daughters as her grandchild.... hrmmphh, bb takleh nanges sket... either mak Iti will get angry to us @ die nanges skali heheh :)) pay rm500 for a month (half-half wif my sis)... n oso can wake her up at middle of nite, i just wake her up if i dunno wat2do if raina crying non-stop (still belajar maa... nway, i wake her up less than 10x, yelaa siang2 she did house chores) she's ok just kne pantang kuat gler and she likes to speak+babble, tahan telinga je laa :)
  
• breastpump about 5-7x everyday heheh targeted to get 4@5 MLO bottles @ 25oz per day (i've to go to 6-months courses, insya Allah Mei 2009 and i decided to exclusive breastfeeding raina since i know i will become a mom!!)... bought Spectra3 electric-dual-pumping from sue and Avent manual breastpump from jusCo...
  
• bought a freezer for ebm (expressed breast milk) from SenQ - rm700... oso, hundred bottles to store ebm... just change to plastic linex 8oz (pokai eden!!) ... takut xmuat je freezer tu...
• 6x urut session... 3x urut+tungku wif mak Jah and 3x urut+bengkung wif mak Siti...
• mandi herba (specially brought by mak Iti) every morning for almost 2 weeks... bb pun mandi gne air ni gak....

• brunch+teatime+supper - fanatiCs of peanut buTTer (i finished 3 jar ok) and corn crackers... always had those wif radiX coffee, HPA radiX cocoa and milo+oat to produce more milk...
• b4 sleep - a teaspoon of air gamat asli HPA wif HPA roselle cordial again...
• say No to fruits (mak Iti cakap manis, x elok utk cesarean), sweet foods, fast food, cakes+kueh2 (bcoz ade telur, nanti luka nanah) dll... pendek kata semua laa pantang huhuh mak Iti's cooking was delicious so dun mind :)

nway, i try to extend my confinement up to 1 year or minimum 6mths...
