Little Ryan Raffael Progress: OFF TOPIC-Braces : Quit Smoking

Mommy Stephanie Liah And Daddy Remy Rizal

Just got back from dentist,cuci gigi!Then doctor suggest I pakai braces due to my 3ketul gigi bawah agak jarang.Dentist yg dok korek putihkan gigi I tiap 6bulan skali ni la cakap 3 batang gigi bawah I agak jarang..And I sebagai tuan gigi ni pun perasan,memang agak jarang yang 3 ketul tu.Lagipun my hubby memang perfectionist,mesti dia setuju dengan suggestion doctor tu untuk mepercantikan lagi gigi wife dia.Huhu yg seksa nya I pakai benda tu,tambah lagi ngan OCD I adeh!Urm...Think Think Think.Takkan tahun ni tahun Betty La Fea kot?Urm..

SmokerHaven Electronic Cigarette is a device that looks like a cigarette, feels like a cigarette, tastes like a cigarette, but it isnt a cigarette. It give smokers a real "smoking" experience without the dangerous chemicals, carcinogens, fire, tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide, ash or smell found in real cigarettes. There are no side effects. It is not detectable by smoke detectors!And it is rechargeable-hoho comes with charger. I wanted to buy this !

So that bolehlah berhenti merokok kan.I was a heavy smoker before,but then lepas pregnant berhenti terus sampai lah habis breastfeeding Ryan at 10months.Hubby pun berhenti merokok sejak I preggy.But then lepas 'cerai susu',entah dari mana tah datang gian tu,I merokok balik.Tapi social smoker lah(sekotak tahan 3hari),coz very limited for me to smoke bila Ryan with us.Begitu dengan hubby.Bezanya dulu dan sekarang ialah----kalau dulu merokok dalam rumah.But since Ryan ada no more,rumah wangi tapi paru2 mesti tak sihat kan...So,sebelum terlambat,I wanted to quit!Harap E-Cigarette boleh membantu :).Otherwise I kena pergi hospital amik stop-smoking patch procedures...Okay,Im gonna call Edan Nonoy the supplier soon.Satu starter pack mari.RM290.

His Infancy Moment

*New Born :
Born 3.88kg,61cm.Beat this mama-NO offence!(Super healthy-The next day of his life is 4.6kg)FYI,I am not diabetic in pregnancy,ok.(Thank God)All Ryan would need now is nursing every two to three hours and sleeping off. Hence,smile about nothing.Gee...And the alignment of his eyes..Sometimes "cross" or don't seem to follow object well yet.Which is totally normal to all babies for the first month.

He would be spending a few hours each day quietly and alertly absorbing the new environment. His umbilical cord drop-off at day 4.His eczema started to appears on and off.

*2nd week :
He can lifts his head for several minutes.Ryan’s vision is still kind of fuzzy. While the rest of the world is a blur, he can clearly see who's holding him.

The time is now for my baby to enjoy the sounds of our voice and the music.

*4th week :
My baby can now track a moving object with his eyes for longer than a couple of seconds. His head is steadier now. Short periods of time on the floor will help him strengthen his neck muscles.

Breastfeeding Journey

I decided to breastfeed for many reasons, but the ONE biggest reason were the health of my child.

1.Alhamdulilah,for the past 10months my son is wonderfully healthy,never had fever/flu/cough or diarrhea even during teething,hitting each milestone or immunisation.And he is advanced(milestones) such like other breastfed babies.

2.Thru BF itself,body I pun dah mantap instead of slimming center.

3.To shrink my servix faster and of course to prevent osteoporisis,cervical and breast cancer!(Im so sorry had to tell you this-a mother who did not breastfeeding her child less than 6 months,got higher chances of getting osteoporisis,servical and breast cancer!-NO offence to non-BF moms).

4.I am sure that seeing pictures of my mom breastfeeding me untill a year highly influenced my decision.

5.My husband was very supportive.He was breastfed untill 3 years old.

*******************************************************

In preparation for my new role as a breastfeeding mother, I did a lot of research on the internet, bought numerous books on the subject, and read as many message boards as I could get my eyes on!Tell you what,untill I tersesat to kampung style website.LOL. Still, I was not as prepared as I would have liked to be - reading about breastfeeding is quite different from doing it!I had prepared for a natural childbirth.They worked fast and then laid my 3.8kg little boy in my arms, helping him to latch onto my breast.Ryan loved breastfeeding from the start. On the first night of his life, he nursed for three hours straight, and cried if I unlatched him.Its harder than my Degree!

After those three hours, I finally got up to use the bathroom and Ryan started to cry again. Our nurse came in and took charge - she convinced us that she should take the baby out of the room and use a pacifier or a my EBM to calm him down.
I awoke a few hours later when the nurse returned with Ryan, who was asleep after crying and receiving a 2 ounces of my EBM.We did not see a lactation consultant until the afternoon of the second day in the hospital. By then, my nipples were ravaged. My lactation consultant told me I had big boobs but slightly flat nipples, making it a bit difficult for my son to get a deep enough latch. We did the best we could, and used a nipple shield when I could not establish a good latch.

It took two days for my milk to come in fully. By that time, I was struggling with engorgement.As a young mom and without any experience, I hated breastfeeding, and my son seemingly nursed non-stop. I cried every time he latched on. The books all told me that an average nursing session lasted 30-45 minutes, but my son would nurse for hours. I cursed the books and doggedly kept going (I'm nothing if not stubborn haha).

When Ryan was 30 days old, we visited a breastfeeding support group in Gleaneagles Hospital. It changed my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but hearing the stories from other moms, especially those women who were going through the same things or even experiencing much worse problems, changed my perspective completely. We weighed my son and I learned that he had gained 7kgs(at 30days old) since leaving the hospital! I felt proud that even though we were experiencing trouble, my son was thriving on my milk. It gave me the motivation to keep going.Armed with the support of the group that met weekly, and remedies for sore nipples I kept nursing.

I made sure to focus on proper latching techniques, and I memorized everything on internet/books.I returned to modeling line when my son was 6 months old. By this time, we had turned a corner and breastfeeding was going much more smoothly.I pumped 6 times per day. My abundant milk supply has made pumping easy but because the breastpump is not as efficient as a nursing baby even im using an electric ones.These things just seem to come with the territory of oversupply.For the first month untill Ryan 4months of age,I had stored 150 ounces of milk stashed in my freezer PER DAY. I donated some of it to a new mom in who was experiencing low supply.Thats why I ada 1 anak susuan named Alwee.Her son has thrived, and I feel proud that I have helped contribute to his health!

When Ryan turns 7months,Im struggled to pump even my supply was getting low.He cried,he is comfirmed by paed greedy baby.We seek our paed and lactation consultant.I jap a prolactin and again,my breastfeeding journey getting smoothly.But when my son turns 9months,he is getting choosy regarding his foods.He is throwing up all my milk each feeding and refuses direct(he bite) as well coz he get used to EBM(my mistake).So I mixed them up with Enfapro A+.So,you know what is going to happen when you mix things up right?Nah,my breastmilk supply are getting dry,dry and dry...

Ryan turned 10months 1 day old today,and he weighs 12kg+, which means he wears 18m-24m clothing.He is a food lover.He has taken to solids, and milk is still the primary source of his nutrition(24ounces per day). He is wonderfully healthy,for the past 10months Alhamdulilah he never had fever/flu/cough or diarrhea.He is the happiest baby I've ever met in my life.It is one more challenge to overcome in our nursing relationship - a bond that I expect will continue until Ryan decides he is ready to cut the ties to his babyhood.

By today(31th August 2009)Im officially quit breastfeeding my son,not even a drop.And no more breastpad.And now,when he stop nursing,I can honestly say I miss it!I was cried yesterday and luckily I had a romantic hubby,he bought me Louis Vuitton handbag and Gucci shades..Yeah,he knw that Im a high maintenance and branded type of woman.My dad warned him before.Hehehe.

Note:
So now moms,continue your breastfeeding journey and dont simply judge me just because Im finally stopped breastfeeding my son at 10months.Dont ask me to continue or tips to keep my supply back,coz I wont bother.My blog is not a discussion board.Get a life and leave a proper comment or DONT.Please respect human problem.Thank You.

The Journey

30th October 2008

3.30am – 7am:
A very mild contraction getting frequent from time to time every 10-15 minutes even there were no leakage of water bag.Just a little bit 'show' around 6.30am.

7am :
Getting ready to the hospital with hubby and my brother in-law(Dr.Fahmy).

7.30am:
Admissions counter of UMSC. They were so nice. VE (Vaginal Examination) was done and it was already opened 2cm!I was then pushed to the Rest Room by wheel chair.

10am:
2nd VE done – 7cm! I presumed I will have to go through another few more tough hours before delivering.Then I called my hubby.

12.30pm:
Felt like 'poo-poo'(True Labour Pain)-Belakang rasa macam nak tercabut(Menstrual pain).And I still got time to think “If terberak, malunya!!”3rd VE done – 10cm!! When I heard 10cm, I was so shocked yet relief at the same time. Some of the first timer mom will have to experience a “1 hour for 1cm opening” of labouring process..But yes,I am strong.Finger crossed and set up my mind 'buat tattoo lagi sakit.''

Nurse offered to jap the Epidural/pain killer. But, I said NO!! Earlier, I did plan to jap it. But, after some considerations, I managed to convince myself that I can do it even without Epidural.

1pm:
Labour Room!Started the ‘pushing’ part. I don’t think it was painful tho.Since my contraction flow were very slow,so I managed to 'rest' more & 'work' hard.To me, it was really tiring but actually I tak sabar nak tengok my baby!! Episiotomy cut was done. Having a really good ‘cheerleaders’ team (a doctor, a midwife, 2 nurses,a trainee and my hubby) . Nah,was indeed very helpful.So ya,5 pushes only(About half and hour untuk keluarkan my baby).Sampaikan midwife tanya setiap kali contraction''tak sakit ke puan?'I jawab sambil tersengih'urm..SAKIT..'.Then Doctor R gelak'You tak nampak sakit pun?''Hehe...Ego I tinggi untuk tunjuk kesakitan tu sebenarnya..Hakikatnya,Dia je yang tau.So my advice,DONT shout and DONT scream..

2.06pm:
Alhamdulilah Im a fast delivery.A big baby boy was finally born thru SVD(normal labour)! 3.88kg ,61cm :) FYI,I am not diabetic.There is no word in this world that could describe what the exact feeling is when they put the baby on my chest!Plus,I memang tak pandai pegang baby. I cried… All the tiredness gone with the wind…Baby on my chest rite after he was born.His first latched on my breast.Ouhh..Im touched.

3.45pm:
Needlework!!It was darn painful than the ‘pushing’ part! As usual la,I tunjuk tak sakit.Tehehe… still could feel the needle! 24 stitches,babe!Kalah anak dara.Haha.Surely a trauma to every first time mom!!But Im proud..Tuhan mempermudahkan I untuk melahirkan Ryan Raffael.Then My Hubby 'Azan/Qamat' kan our son...The funny part is,doctor cakap I sempat ajak diarang semua pergi club lagi----I 'stone' disebabkan Antonox Gas la during the sewing procedure..tehehe

5.15pm:
Ready to be sent over to my bed.My hubby kissed me.Once again,I cried-HAPPY AND PROUD. They placed baby next to me for breastfeeding. I was so touched!!!!What a perfect little creature on earth..Then my hubby called his mother to spread a good news.Ok,enough lah with the labouring story. Need to make the story shorter pulak.LOL

#I was then discharged on the next day on 31 October 2008 around 4pm right after doctor confirmed that both baby and I were fine and healthy.#

Being A Young Mommy

Before Ryan came into our life,I always thought new young mothers are totally overly obsessed with babies. Their babies. Other people's babies. Babies. Babies. Babies. Anything babies.I pun terpengaruh.

I couldn't understand why these mothers would only blog about babies and nothing else. Not only that, they visit each other's blogs, leave comments to each other, and even do babytalks as if the babies can already read those comments!Really, I could never get it! What is wrong with these mothers??? Takde kerja lain ape??Laugh out loud.

Now that I have Ryan, I can totally understand why!! Now I myself blog about nothing else but my Ryan (and anything else that has to do with him). Blog I sendiri pun dah jadi rubbish.It is just so unbelievable how this tiny bundle of joy could totally change my life all so suddenly.Ryan is now my new life. How can I not blog about him and only him every single day? I am "with" him 24x7, day and night and even while I'm sleeping.My career is very flexible.

And then just as I am about to fall into a deep long slumber the sun would already be up in the east again and another new day has arrived.I find joy in blogging about Ryan, knowing this is the only way my family can see how Ryan is growing up every single day. I am a little sad by the fact that Ryan is growing up not surrounded by his Po Po & Kong Kong .Nevermind hero kan?Janji Po Po selalu video call.

I am also happy making many new friends with whom I can share and exchange experiences and tips and advices with other super moms. I enjoy reading other mothers' blogs about their babies. It's like learning new things from others so I can be more prepared as a mother. I can't believe that I can even talk with strangers now! Bukan main mesra lagi..Gossip kumpulan ibu-ibu!Sempat pergi gathering lagi.Semangat!

Whenever I go out shopping I run to the baby department first. I buy parenthood magazines,children DVD's,his toys,his branded clothes,his branded shoes,his accesorries,his Everything!I watch Playhouse Disney,Little Einstein, Pooh & Friends, Barney, Pocoyo ,bla bla bla on Astro. I sing to nursery rhymes. And toys really excite me to the bones!Owh..Semua nak beli.

I am still the silly old me. I have not lost myself but I myself is a little less important than my Ryan now. I must admit that I am more patient, more forgiving, a whole lot kinder and even more softhearted now.Clubbing?Private Party?Karaoke?Still.Mom's Night Out?Girls Night Out?Yes,aku tetap aku.

Takkan lah bila dah kahwin and ada anak,pakaian terus outdated,makeup dah tak kenal,badan dah tak jaga,life dah habis.Come on moms..Modern life,jangan jadi kampung.Memang lah sebagai isteri ada batasannya,tapi takkan la nak jadi buruk?Husband cari lain kang...YOU know la,YOU tak suka kan bila husband YOU pandang perempuan lain yang pandai jaga luaran dan dalaman kan?So,mari menjalani hidup yang sihat,happy and sedap mata memandang..Sexy ke,scarfy ke itu hak YOU and your husband.

Remember that,setiap wanita cantik.Setiap wanita mempunyai kecantikkan,keistimewaan,kelebihan dan anugerah tersendiri.Jangan musnahkan ia hanya disebabkan title 'married/mother'.Pelihara lah anugerah itu dengan sempurna.Well,untuk self confidence and kebanggaan husband.Tak kisahlah macam mana pun pilihan lifestyle family YOU.Janji YOU tahu jaga hak kekeluargaan masing-masing and batasan YOU sebagai WIFE.Dont be 'kia su' mom yeah.So Ya!
