Bonding

The pasts few days, since the kids had fever I was busy with nursing Sufi, then followed by Khair & Furqan had fever at the same time. While Sufi has recovered just before the two younger brother fall sick. I felt so handicapped and feeling lucky as my Rid was with me helping me out with boys.

When I looked at them lying on bed, I see the bonding between them. It looks stronger.

Then the strike 2am, Baby Furqan refused my breast totally! I was shocked but I thought it might be becaus eof the fever he had. But NO. He refused the breast for over 12hours and only drinking sip of plain water. And the pedeatrician recommended to express milk & cup-feed him, which i totally forget about it.

Above all, what I am trying to say here is, I felt sad. God is testing me on this bonding isssues. I have been complaining of bodyache due to nights feed, lethargic, tired and no time to do a lot of things when paying full attention to the boys & breastfeeding Furqan. Then suddenly due to the throat viral, he refuse dmy breast totally.

I continued with the milk expressing. I felt empty deep in my heart. The bonding is not the same. I am afraid of him refusing the breast permanently

After two solid days of expressing milk & drinking from the water bottle, just two hours ago... He find his way back to my breast. I cried feeling happy. I am so happy.

Thank God. Alhamdulillah. I understand more on bonding. Bonds. Its a strong feeling.

I am feeling silly, now I know.

I have been doing this for years with my two older sons, every Saturday w/out fail!! And I did't even knew that its called as 'Lapbookers'!!

What am I doing, browsing through the internet, sourcing for thematics styles to incorporate to my weekly lessons but i didnt know what its label as... And it has been selling as an educational package to all who yearns for a different approach of education.

Thanks to http://www.thetotsuniversity.blogspot.com/ that I knew what to call this practise! I'm glad i came across the website... otherwise, i will still call it 'our saturdays projects' heee...

Go! Tiger!! Lunar New Year...

Its another Lunar New Year & embracing the Tiger Zodiac! And my kids are loving the tigger idea of it. We hang-out at my parent's house the eve of LNY, watching tv, chat & eat!
Well, ridwan needs to work today & tomorrow. Seems so long this weekend to ends with the kids jungling with me!

So we planned to make some hong-bao fans, some colourings the next day itself. I am still thinking of the lost items. This year, we celebrated the Lunar New Year with Loh-Hei a bit later, maybe next week. Its too rushing & time is limited with the 3 kids in tow!

My Dumbness Affair

So i am missing my MacLaren Triumph Stroller & my all-time favourite MomsInMind baby sling. Its only a few hours after i dumbly left those lovelies at the back of a Comfort Delgro taxi! And i didn't even remember the taxi number! I am feeling worst, the stroller & sling has been with me since my first child. And only a few hours w/out them i am feeling handicapped.... The only thing that i can remember is the driver is chinese, wore green long-sleeved shirt and he mentioned that he can speak malay, chinese, english & mongolian. Iam hoping that the call centre will call me back.
