8th-10th March 2015

We went to the hosp around 9am on the 8th of march to see prof dr yik. The lead surgeon who will do the surgery for our son. He came to see us around 1 pm and explained yusuf's condition and the procedure that he will do. He told us that if the PICU team gives a green light, yusuf can go for the operation on monday. Went home and explained it to mak and ayah. Asked for everyone to pray for yusuf. 

9 march
Came really early, feeling positive. However, PICU team ask prof yik another 24 hours for the surgery. They would like to stop the NOx machine and reduce all the drugs so that yusuf is fit for surgery. 

For the first time, i got to see my baby opened his eyes. I was shocked, but syg told me to keep talking to him. I recited selawat for him and kept talking to him. Felt even more positive.

10 march
Came early hoping that yusuf is ready for surgery. The lead of PICU told us that they want to wait a couple more days because his platlet count is still low. This can be dangerous for surgery. I have to admit, i felt really down but sayang reminded me that the doctors know what they are doing. He told me to trust them and let them do their job. He told me to be strong for yusuf. Our baby boy. 

I talked to my baby a lot... He opened his eyes, moved his lips, grabbed my finger. Kept talking to him. The nurse who is taking care of yusuf told me not to cry because yusuf will know. she encouraged me to keep talking and be happy... 

The nurses gave us the overdue orientation for PICU. Haha. After almost 5 days! Glad to know i have a place to pump my breastmilk for yusuf 😃

Said goodbye to yusuf after talking to him some more. Told him to keep being strong that we are always there for him. We promised to come again tomorrow.

Sayang sent me home and then he went to register yusuf's name. Alhamdulillah he has a birth cert now.

Amir Yusuf bin Amir Saleh
Our baby boy

Born on the 5th March 2015 at 7.10 pm via c-section by Dr. Idora at Pantai Hospital KL.

Alhamdulillah, we feel so blessed to have Yusuf in our lives.

Mak and Ayah sayang Baby Yusuf

Home soon.

In two days, I'll be going home for good and I am actually feeling quite sad. It's quite funny because when I came here 10 months ago, I did not like this place at all. It's expensive, it's hard to get around, and I kept comparing it with Wellington and how I wished I was in Wellington instead of Sydney. But slowly, I grew to like living here but now I have to come home. Oh well, that's life I guess. Maybe in the future ada rezeki I get to go somewhere else? InshaaAllah.  I'm so not looking forward to go back to work haha. Can I just be a student forever please?

Hypnobirthing

When I first found out I was pregnant, one of the first people I told was a colleague here in UniKL. Her name is Dr. A. I knew her because we had to attend a meeting together at one of the institutes. We were talking about random stuff when I suddenly told her about my pregnancy (I have no idea why I told her). She told me how much she loves the process of being pregnant and urged me to find out about Hypnobirthing/Gentlebirthing. She then told me how she made the decision to give birth to her second child using HVBAC - Home Vaginal Birth After Caesarian (read her story here: My HBVAC Hypnobirth Story   One of the reasons she made this decision was because of her traumatic first child birth experience. She, however, stressed the importance of being well informed about the process of childbirth etc. Anyway, a few days later she emailed me two e-books on gentle birthing and told me that I must read it!  I recently got around to start reading the books she emailed me (Th...

Alhamdulillah

Just a quick post- I just received back my marks for two of my units. Alhamdulillah, I think I did pretty well. I managed to get a Distinction (which is equivalent to an A grade) for Sociology and Education, which is still a huge surprise for me because I sucked at Sociology during my Alevel years (not even kidding, I used to get Cs all the time and my final result for Sociology for Alevels was also a C). Alhamdulillah a Distiction is more than I had expected so I'm very happy! I was actually very worried about this particular unit because the context is very Australian. All my assignments had to do with the Australian education system so I had to learn it from scratch. The unit also only had three on-campus classes and most of the time we had to do a lot of independent learning and listen to online lectures. Anyway, Alhamdulillah I am glad it is over and I did well. As for the other unit (Advanced Pedagogy), I only got a Credit for it (equivalent to a B) but I am st...
