An Ummi of 2 lil munchkins

Houdd's & Saraa's
2.15am : Saraa bangun mintak susu.  In d middle of susukan Maryam Saraa, Aaron Houdd bangun mengadu 'itchy2'. Mintak tolong garu kaki n badan dia yg gatal2....

Sambil susukan Maryam Saraa sambil tolong Aaron Houdd... Maryam Saraa habis susu. Try burp kan tp dia xnak. Letak Saraa and layankan si abang sebab kalau Aaron dh segar nanti lagi susah nk tidorkan semula... Tup tup si adik muntah. Cepat2 angkat. Salinkan baju. Si abang masih merengek mintak di layan. Kesian jugak pada si abang. Last2 dia membawa diri mencari Lola sebab nk susu n kakinya gatal kena gigit sekpr nyamuk sesat...

Si adik pulak... Baru lepas salin diaper n baju, proppp poppp poppp... Poopoo la pulak! Usai menguruskan Saraa, si kecik ni mintak susu semula... Mungkin sebab dah dimuntahkan semuanya tadi. Tengah menyusukan si adik, si abang darang nk tidur dengan Umminya. Terpaksalah Ummi yang masih terkial2 belajar menjadi ibu kepada 2 anak ni bermulti tasking...

 Kesudahannya, Alhamdulillah dua beradik ni berjaya ditidurkan semla. Jam 4.17am semuanya selesai... Tinggallah si Ummi yg terkebil2 mata dh xboleh nk lelap tapi badan dh amat letih. Dah mcm zombie rasanya... Dapatlah melayan Daddy pulak yg berada beribu batu jauhnya dgn perbezaan 4 jam waktu antara kami.

Mula menyedari: Dua beradik ni sering meminta perhatian pada waktu yg serentak. Tak kira waktu tak kira tempat... (tu belom termasuk Daddynya yg pandai carik masa nak call, time anak2 meragam time tu lah phone berbunyi.hihi)

PS: Kalaulah masa yg berbaki ni dimanfaatkan dgn tahajud dan taubat alangkah indahya. Cantiknya Iman. Pesan suami 'xlarat solat xapa. Zikir pon dah baik sangat'. Allahu Rabbi...Sementara menguruskan anak2, sentiasa ada ruang untuk berzikir denan hati mahupun lisan kan?

PSs: Sungguh menghormati dan kagum dengan para ibu lagi2 yg punya anak ramai, ibu tunggal dan sebagainya....Sungguh masih banyak lg yg perlu diri ini pelajari dan perbaiki. Perkara sebegini sebenarnya menjadi rutin harian biasa bagi kebanyakan ibu2 yang mempunyai anak lebih dari 1. Saja dicoretkan pengalaman baru ini buat kenang-kenangan di masa akan datang.

PSss: Masih mencari rhythm meneruskan komitmen selain anak2... Menguruskan anak2, sungguhpon mencabar tp mendamaikan hati... Tp komitmen yg satu ini, kalau dibiarkan sepi semakin hilang semangat utk meneruskannya... Xhabis pk mcm mana nak menyelesaikan masalah x sekepala 2 boss, belom lagi melibatkan krisis skill menulis yg menumpul dan idea2 yg semakin menjauh... Ya Allah permudahkanlah....

Introducing....... Our lil princess!

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate...

Name: Maryam Saraa
DOB: 13/10/2012
Time of birth: 5:24 AM
Place of Birth: DEMC Medical Centre, Shah Alam

Delivery: VBAC (vaginal birth after 1 cesarean), assisted with vacuum.
Baby's weight: 2.86 KG
Baby's height: 52 cm
Head circumference: 31 cm

Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah.

We'd chosen the name Maryam Saraa, taken after then name of Maryam the mother of Prophet Isaa, and Saraa the first wife of Prophet Ibrahim.

We pray to Allah to grant her Imaan and blessings... To grow up to be muslimah solehah, as Maryam, a woman who got the nickname "Ya Ukhta Haroon", due to her high level of Taqwa and total devotion to Allah.

Allah has said in the Holy Quran, that Maryam was a woman chosen by Allah above other women of the worlds, and she was the only woman in the world who got pregnant without being touched by any man.  (Ali Imran, 3: 42-47)

There are 2 surahs (chapters) in the Quran with the name related to Maryam (Surah Ali-Imran, and surah Maryam)

And we pray to Allah to grant our Maryam Saraa a noble heart, like the heart of Sarah, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim and the mother of Prophet Ishaq.

Well actually, we had another name to be given to our next baby after Aaron Houdd (if the baby was happen to be a girl). The name existed even before I got pregnant. What's the name? ---- Mawar Anggun! (the elegant rose). We got the name since we were in Dubai last year...

But during my 6th month of pregnancy, I went to BeingMe conference, and there's a sister name Myriam Francois Cerrah. She's a British, was an actress and reverted to Islam in 2003. She's beautiful and intelligent too! She's one of the speaker of the event and I love her very much. Since then, I fell in love with the name Maryam Saraa :) --> here's a little info about herself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myriam_Francois-Cerrah

Oh I still love the name Mawar Anggun. It's so classy don't you think so? We found it quite hard to decide which name to give to our lil princess. But yeah, in the end, we decided to choose Maryam Saraa instead of Mawar Anggun. My sis said "Tak payah pening, nama kita kan dah ada kat lauh mahfudz" (dah ditakdirkan la maknenya) hehe....

OK. Baby starts to cry... and Aaron is getting out of control now.... got to go... see u in the next entry inshaAllah :)
