Wow, such a strong boy mOmmy and pApa have. Yesterday hArith had his follow-up check for his eye. The follow-up was to check on his previous ROP which he had a laser for it. Al-hamdulillah, everything is okay and there’s no reoccur of it. For the check-up, hArith need to dilate his eyey first to allow doctor to check his eye pupil better. Upon putting the eye drops hArith remain very very calm which mOmmy finds it real amazing. mOmmy saw other babies and kids crying out loud and struggling when nurse wanted to put the drop but hArith was very very calm. He allows mOmmy and nurse to open wide his eyes for the nurse to put the drop, hArith didn’t even tried to blink at all. mOmmy’s optic nerves has been swollen since 2005, so mOmmy knows what it feels when the doctor dilate the eyes.

Then it hit me, do babies really understand when we talk to them. Coz started since few days back I’ve been talking to hArith, telling him that on Friday he has his eye check-up and he should allow the doctor to check his eye. I told him to behave when doctor check his eye and to be strong. In fact just before the nurse put the eye drops, again mOmmy told hArith, be strong ya…I’ll buy you a baju raya if you remain calm and strong. Wow he responded to it. Guess you really want new clothes for raya (good excuse mOmmy has to tell pApa that I want to do some shopping…hehehe)

When the doctor check his eyes, I was told to leave the room. Once done, the nurse called me to take hArith,I could then see he has really red eye bag. It looks swollen cause the doctor use a metal thingy to hold his eyes open. But yet, my baby hArith was nicely asleep. Wow that shows how strong hArith is, that he could continue his sleep straight away. I believe I have a lil’ hero! Coz even mOmmy and pApa would avoid seeing how the metal thingy place at his eyes, coz it really looks OuuccHh.

According to my mom, perhaps that was nothing after what he had went through for the pass 3 months. All kinds of procedure doctor did to him already. So he’s growing to be a real tough boy! Go hArith! Be a good strong boy and protect your sister athirAh!

hOoorrAaayyy, hArith is now back home. Home sweet home. On the day of discharge (15th Sept), hArith’s weight was 1.87 kg. In most cases, babies from the Special Care Nursery (SCN) will be discharge when they weigh a minimum of 1.9kg, so by right hArith needed few more days before he can come home. But since mOmmy been visiting both of you everyday without fail, so the Prof was confident to let hArith go earlier. It was just in time to meet Wan De (Hana) before Wan De fly off to Aussie.

Since for the past 3 months, hArith been following the routine of SCN, so mOmmy could more or less predict when hArith wants his milk. In fact, his eyes will be wide open at the usual time mOmmy and pApa visit him in the hospital.

The first 2 nites were okay, but then…followed by sleepness nitesSss!. At 12 midnite sharp, hArith will be awake AND cranky. and this continues till 4 am. By the time mOmmy wants to catch my sleep, it’s already time for sahur…..not only that, mOmmy thought I can then have my beauty sleep after subuh prayers BUT 7:30 am is your bathing time cause at 8 you need to have your milk together with your vitamins/supplements.

I guess this is the package of having a baby at home. Gosh, mOmmy just can’t imagine how am I going to handle when athirAh is home with us. mOmmy will then have to be a supermOm especially when pApa is not around. Maybe, mOmmy will have a choir team in the bedroom, when one cries, the other follows….

*stay tune for the photos

Last two days hArith and athirAh turn 3 months. Time passes by rather fast. It has been 3 months since mOmmy and pApa made our daily routine of twice a day to see both of you at the hospital. So far, hArtih is showing faster progress and we are expecting hArith to come home before athirAh. However, once he returns home, on Doctor’s advice, hArith can’t welcome any guest yet coz his immune system is not as strong as other full-term babies.

A lot of people has been asking how does the little darlings look like. For the time being, mOmmy thinks it will be only appropriate if mOmmy put photos of hArith here cause he has free himself from all those wire and tubing.Those who wants to see athirAh…just stay tune =)

tiny isn’t he? 1.87kg

And also today marks the third months aleSya left all of us. Last week, mOmmy and pApa visited her graveyard. We surely miss her.

Al-Fatihah

Yesterday, as usual mOmmy and papa did our usual routine in the morning to see both of you. mOmmy got so excited when the nurse told me that we can actually bring our own clothes for hArith to wear. Yabedabeduuuu!

The moment we reached home, mOmmy selongkar all the baju that we (opps, I mean Tuk & Pah) bought. Tuk did buy clothing for premature babies, written at the package “Early baby, up tp 2.3kg”.So mOmmy straight away wash it and put it in dryer. Well, it really look like those baju people wear it on their teddy bear…heheh

After dinner, we went again to the hospital, and this time around looking forward to try on hArith’s new clothing of course. Wow, it fit him perfectly! Can’t wait to put the clothes on Athirah too!

To those wondering how small my lil’ darlings look like, here’s how small his baju looks like compared to the standard new born babies’ clothing.
