Our Bundle of Joy :)

Hello! Sorry it took me a while to update this blog. Thanks for the well wishes and prayers. I am getting well day by day, slowly, but surely. Daughter is doing fine too. Her big sister is adjusting herself having to share the attention of the parents with the new addition to the family. I noticed that she’s clingy now, and envies her sister a lot. Poor girl. :)

Alhamdulillah, despite having to endure 31 hrs of labor pain, and with few unsuccessful attempts for epidural, I have safely delivered my daughter on Jan, 14th at 1.26 a.m. Normal delivery at 9 cm dilation. Crazy kan? It’s painful compared to c-sect, but very rewarding. I feel more connected with my second daughter.

I guess what keeps me going during the whole process is I kept reminding myself what I felt for the past 2 days was nothing close to the sufferings of the children in the Gaza city. Some have lost their parents and siblings, and got injured badly. Imagine, not being able to walk as they have lost their legs, or unable to feed themselves. Few survived the bombings and attacks; some died or disappeared without a trace.

Anyway, here she is…


Oh yeah, her name is Noorul Syafiqah, and weighs 3.1 kg, less 2 kgs than her sister. She's up already, gtg.. but before that, I have a confession to make..... euuwww, sungguh kekoknya saya mau pegang baby kecik2 nih...he he..
