the race is on

i can barely breathe for this week..

all because of that one big important news that finally came through.. and it came earlier than expected.

Kudos to dearest hubby for doing an impressive job so far since last September.. for that reason la we got the news early..

and for that reason la this week is one hectic week it has been for me.. Plus, i am busy with account closing. And to make it more hectic, this is my 1st week of work after 2 month of maternity leave.. last monday was my 1st day at work..

and around 4 pm today as i was busy going through my costing report, dearest hubby called.. we need to get Alya's passport done ASAP!

and i was like " what?" .   the sooner we have it done, the better and easier it is for the HR people to process & proceed with other important things relating to our move there..

While driving back home, my mind was already thinking this and that..planning this and that.. I can't afford to take leave tomorrow or any other day in this week. Dec 7th is the closing day for us. And after that, i need to settle other work related matter to account  closing too.

Which was why I decided to take Alya's photo tonight. Everyone had to follow. The girls did not want to be left behind. And judging at the time, we need a driver to drive us as parking would be impossible at that  hour.. it was 630 pm when we left home..So my MIL did the driving. And my maid followed too as she will take care of the two big sisters..

The 1st shop that we went did not do baby photo.Actually they dont know how to take one. This i realised after we drove to another photo shop located in another place.

I had to hold Alya against the blue back drop. And the photographer assistant who is the photographer's mom was busy distracting Alya with a rattler. Why? coz alya was crying at that time.. We got a nice photo of Alya with her eyes open. The old lady did tell me that it's fine if the baby's eyes are closed. But me just being worried as all this thing is new to me, asked his son to take another shot..Alhamdulillah , one of the shots was better..

and later i found out from fb posting on this matter that it's all fine if the baby's eyes is closed. The imigration staff will accept the photo..

and i have not managed to inform my head of dept about this.. why? too busy to sit down with her..maybe will talk to her tomorrow. any how, she is aware and has been informed of this possibility of me moving to jakarta..

tired i am ...i just have to follow my list ..

Fireworks

Make your own fireworks !

That was what came into my head when my single friends go on holidays..

For me, single people should not stop from creating and making their own fireworks. While we married people have our own fireworks that is created from being married , single people should have theirs too.

Of course for married people our fireworks can come from our children & spouse that we have. Even from the spouse's relatives too..

But for single people, these are not attainable for them.. Thus, going on holidays are one of them.. I hate when single people just live their live between work and home only.. It should be about exploring other things too.. Going places that you have never been.. these are fireworks in life..

My PDA baby

Alya is a P.D.A baby since birth. May it will close eventually .The sooner the better. Amin.


Even after birth, she does not have the signs of a PDA baby. She feeds normally . She breathes normally too. Thus, even the nurses at the Special Nursery centre where she was warded for jaundice were surprised to find out that she is having PDA.

Even until today, I am so thankful to Allah that it was  Dr Azizi who detected this  on Alya. Even though he did not hear it during Alya's first few days of her life, I am still thankful that it was detected during her stays at DSH.

Any doctors stand a chance of not being able to hear the echoes or murmur in the baby's heart. This is because one needs to be able to listen to it deeply & focus. One can not blame the doctor for failing to detect it in the first place because of our hearing capabilities. Only an person with sharp hearing would be able to detect it . Which is why for some baby, this condition will go unnoticed until sign of illnesses crop up later in the future. So don't be curious why doctors will check your baby's heart on each hospital or clinic visits.

And I am comforted by the fact that Alya's progress is being monitored and assessed by one of Malaysian most qualified doctor in that field..

How I wanted to break down & cry my heart out again when we went for the 2nd visit .. The 3mm hole is still there. Somehow a part of me told me to seek out more information on Alya's condition from Dr Zul . And I am glad that those information comforted me 99% . And that 1% of worry will be there until we see Dr Zul again in Feb 2012.

As for the moment, we are monitoring Alya's health based on the information we learned from Dr Zul on PDA baby.
