The Maid Is Coming!

I'm super EXCITED today!

We are finally getting a maid. Hip HIP HOORAY!!

During lunch break yesterday, Faliq and I went to Ikea and got some things for her room (I know, sempat rite :p).

After buka puasa yesterday (yes, moi the last minute ganti puasa Queen), Faliq ensembled the lemari all by him self with a teeny-weeny help from me. I'll take more pictures of the room when it's completely done. The maid is coming tonight.

Here are some pictures of Maya sibuk-ing. She is just too cute to me =D

Wherefore Art Thou Period?

Good Morning Readers!

Hope y'all are having a great week thus far. Anyhoos, I would like to share my short visit to Mr.Gynae the other day.

Fyi, I was supposed to see my doctor way back in November last year but I didn't. I can't remember exactly why I didn't show up that day.

Finally I scheduled for an appointment to see Mr.Gynae solely for the purpose to check on other stuffs; other stuffs being my uterus etc etc. I was drowned with paranoia, thinking of the worst case scenario since I have not gotten my period since after I had Maya.

Why was I too paranoid?

As I mentioned, I have not been visited by Miss Rosie since after Nifas. Yes, I've done my research and it's normal for breastfeeding mothers not to have period/ovulate. However, nothing I've read exceeds 12 months. Moreover, for the passed 2 months, I am somewhat a part-time breastfeeding mother since I've not pump during the day; I only bf at nights on weekdays and of course full time on weekends since I'm with Maya 24/7. Logically, to me, I should be getting my period since I am not lactating as mush as I used to. After putting much thought to this, I decided to see my doctor.

The doctor said there's nothing to be worried about. He said it doesn't matter if I'm bf part/full time, bottom line I'm still lactating. He added that the period should come around three months after I'm done lactating. I blurted "lamanyaaaa". I honestly do miss the cramps, mood swings and everything that comes with it. *sigh*

I was mentally prepared for a pap smear. When the doctor saw us and I told him my concerns and he asked a bunch of questions, it all resulted to no further checkup. However, silly me, I missed my third shot of Hepatitis B and now I have to start it all over again.

Just perfect Farah, PERFECT!

I hope this post will help other worried breastfeeding mommies out there.

Tiara Rose & Imaan Lily

On Sunday my cousin threw an Aqiqah party for her sweet princesses. The whole party was so beautiful especially the buaian which made me a little bumped that I didn’t get to throw a really nice one for Maya. For Maya, we did her Aqiqah when she was just 7 days old (Sunnah). Thank god my MIL had her bff make a really nice big white pillow for Maya. I will so be prepared for baby number two onwards.

Here are some pictures from the Aqiqah. I didn’t even get to take pictures with the twins as I was too lazy to grab my camera from my purse in Fiza’s room.

p/s: I had to change Maya into the purple dress because she had jelly all over her yellow rompers.

Bachelorette Party

How was your weekend?

Ours were PACKED!

I’m still so tired from all the happenings.

On Saturday, my cousins and I threw a SURPRISE bachelorette party for my cousin, Diyana. She’s getting hitched this coming Sunday. Weeee.. Welcome to the club Kak Di!

Us girls got a room at Westin Hotel, KL for the pre-party. We had pizza, chips, sodas and a complimentary cake. We danced, laughed and took naughty pictures together. It’s what we do best! The bride-to-be didn’t know we had the room for her because two of her sisters told her that the room was mine and suggested to just drop by before hitting the clubs.

When Diyana and sisters arrived, we were sooo menglaba to SURPRISE her. When I opened the door, we yelled out the SURPRISE and Kak Di was nowhere to be found! All I could see were Zeyna and Zana. The look on their faces were HILARIOUS; they were confused and shocked and after a good 5-10 seconds (we were still shouting), Zeyna pulled Kak Di from the corner and she was of course shocked and (YEAY) SURPRISED! Above all, the surprise part was too funny.

I had a lot of fun with my girls. I haven’t had a night out since becoming a mother. However, luck was not on my side; faliq sent a text message around midnight asking me to come home earlier if I could. As soon as I got his text, I called to check on Maya and YES, she was crying REALLY badly. Maya did fall asleep after I dropped her off my in-laws’ but when she was searching for me to nyot-nyot, she realized I wasn’t there. Apa lagi, menangis lah dia!

This mommy had to end her night just when the party was about to adjourned to Changkat for club hopping. Boohooo…

Nevertheless, I had a BLAST!

Some snippets from that night (decent ones) ;p

Obsessed with Beyonce & Ali Larter was on TV. Not quite sure what scene shown ;p

Bride-to-be is on far left. Schunn rite? Sorry boys, she is almost off the market =D

Maya's Candyland

FINALLY!!

Here are the awaited (cheh cheh) pictures from my daughter's 1st birthday party, Maya's Candyland.

Theme: Candyland (Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue)

Maya held on to this balloon almost the entire time. It was easy to spot her in the crowd.

I got these hair clips from Stride Rite. When I saw it, I must get it because they are the exact colors that I used through out her party decorations.

My SIL, Myra, came up with this idea for guests to write their sweet wishes for Maya. It's a lollipop pedestal.

My lil cousins Aya & Sofea shopping at Maya's Candyshop.

Polka dot Apam. Note: I made the sign "Maya" in the back which I'm too proud of ;p.

For cupcakes, I asked for vanilla cupcake and frosting. I bought the pink sprinkles in the US and my MIL has the blue ones sitting in her drawer. My SIL, Zafirah, patiently sprinkled the cupcakes and my cousin, Aqila, placed the cupcake toppers that my favorite girl, Leey, designed.

My SIL, Myra, found a lady that makes one of the best macarons (not too sweet) for a GREAT price and caters your color choices. They were a HUGE hit!

Leey hand made the food signs. Aren't they just too cute?

Presenting THE Birthday Cake! Check out the awesome pink cake stand! :)

Pink tablecloth, blue and green flower buckets, and yellow flowers. Not to forget a cardboard lollipop to personalize it.

I love this shot of my sweet baby looking up at someone. She looks so grown up here. *tears*

One of my many favorite shots from Balqies. Maya with her Aunty Nabila and Uncle Ilyaz.

She had a swimsuit on (it was supposed to be a pool party but NO thanks to Mr Rain for coming to the party)and the tutu I purchased from a local website. For shoes, I got her Robeez from Stride Rite. Check out the gumball machine on the shoes! Theme-riffic!

A must have picture! Mommy will always love you my darling, sweetness of heaven, Maya Suraya.

Something Engraved

I'm a huge jewelry fan. I love them but I don't wear them as often as I used to especially after having a baby. I keep my jewelry simple and I save my dangling/chandelier earings only for work (Maya loves yanking them).

Rings are the best accessories for me since it's harder for Maya to pull it off. I've always wanted a necklace with a pendant that has "Maya" or "MOM" engraved on it but it's too common. So I saw an image of the following picture on one blog and I am completely in love with it. I want I want I WANT. They ship international too! Check them out here.

They're stackable so you can have one ring for every child you have.
LOVE!!!

p/s: Dear Aza, if you're reading this, please get this for me as my belated birthday pressie (don't worry, I'll provide you my ring size ;D). I WUVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!

Brilliant Tips From Miss Martha

I found some awesome ideas from marthastewart.com and I thought I would like to share it here with you.

Isn't this genius? We all know ice melts and if you put a lot of them in your punch bowl, it dilutes the taste. Personally, I do love the taste of a diluted drink because people tend to make it too sweet; they have to make it sweet because by the time all the ice melt, it will have the perfect taste and by the time all the ice melt, your punch won't be as cold as you want it to be. You get the drill. ;P
Now all I need are those punch bowls. Anyone? =D

I absolutely LOVE this idea! What a way to add colors to your plain old drinking glass. All you need is fun printed cupcake liners, a puncher (to punch the hole), and a colored straw. B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T.
This make hosting fun right? =D

Check out them coasters! Yes, they're leaves! How awesome is that?
There are so many pretty looking leaves out there to choose from. Your guests will be blown away with this for sure! I wouldn't even thought of this really cool idea. LOVEEEEE..











I can't wait to "impress" my guests with these awesome tips from Martha Stewart (don't think I'll have a get-together anytime soon though).
