my terrible twos...

it has been almost 2 years since i entered the wonderful world of motherhood....i'm so thankful for being blessed with an adorable, mischievious, little explorer Jihan Qaisara binti Asrul....when she was a little baby, she was an easy baby..very easy to take care of...she woke up only once or two during the night to breastfeed....even when she started weaning and switched to formula milk, she did not wake up during the night to ask for her "mik"...she wasn't a fussy eater...she gobbles almost everything just like her papa.....

she loves to sing and act and follows the tv advertisement...and she can sing some of the popular tunes heard over the radio....she's a fast learner and always entertain us with her non-boring actions and character...

how i missed seeing her growing up...it's so fast...i wish i can rewind back the time to mesmerize the moments of what i missed when she was growing up...i wasn't always there by her side to watch most of her single 1st achievement in her life....i missed that coz i was struggling during my internship...but i'm proud of myself for being able to fully breastfeed her for 6 months....with all the difficulties, i managed to go through it....i managed to express the milk without fail just to make sure that she get enough stock of milk for her needs....my freezer was all fully stocked up with Jihan's ice cream....

as a result, Jihan is an active, creative and healthy-almost-2-year-old...she seldom fell sick thus cut the expensive medical cost nowadays (though we never went to seek treatment at clinics- we treat ourselves).....i always promote the goodness of breastfeeding to others...but it's never easy...those who never have the intention and will to go for fully breastfeeding will never succeed...they always have a lame excuse that precipitated to the failure of breastfeeding...even some medical personnels don't support the breastfeeding policy, making it a total failure..

even though Jihan has no longer brestfeed now, i will continue to breastfeed my other children in the future and hopefully longer than 6 months.....insya allah....
