It’s The Time Again..

So many things to write and share.. and as usual so little time I feel having..

And so, it’s the time of the year again when..

Mr.A is working on a straight no off day for 21 days for a minimum of 12 hours per day..

He’ll go at 6 a.m and would only be back the earliest at 8.30 pm… and again that continues without fail for 21 days…

NO weekend NO off days in between. Oh and there are many many times he only reached home at 10pm..

Inas has been saying.. Shut down. shut down.. shut down.. I don’t like shutdown!! It’s not fair!! because she doesn’t have MrA to play chess with.

Yes, Mr A is in the shutdown team. Every now and then, the factory would have to shut the LNG trains to let maintenance works taking place for the machineries and what nots.. (err.. hope it’s not a wrong explanation  )

and Umar has insisted that bapak must sleep in his bed albeit the fact that he has already fallen asleep most times when MrA came back home..

and Nuha has not been “friendly” with bapak anymore. When MrA came back she would wake up but when she was in MrA’s arms while I was heating food for MrA’s late dinner, Nuha would make little cries while trying to locate mummy.. her source of so many things

ohhh and I am still trying very hard to keep “strong” but sad to admit that towards the third week which is towards the end of this shut down, I felt like crumbling…

…

Nuha is already 4 months. Yeah.. she still wakes up for feeding a few times at night.. but sometimes more because of sucking for comfort.. err not much real feeding coz she would doze off once she got it. Well, so it’s just natural that mothers wouldn’t have enough sleep and with Nuha because she’s on exclusive feeding, no one else could cover up the job of feeding her. So, it’s only mummy to which I am very happy about because this is the first time that breastfeeding has been successful! Alhamdulillah…

She continues turning herself over and over again.. and when tired she would cry.

I bought her a teether last month but it seems like she loves her fingers more or mummy’s knuckles & fingers better than the teether sometimes.

My growing little flower

Oh.. and she has been prescribed with 2 drops of Vitamin D daily by the doctor. All the babies get this because they’re afraid of Vitamin D deficiency due to the fact that most stay inside the house most of the time especially now when summer is approaching.

Just like Inas and Umar when they were little.. Nuha doesn’t like to be left alone too…

I drag her inside the baby rocker everywhere in the house. To the toilet (she stays outside the door haha , cooking, washing dishes.. everywhere she would be very close to mummy if not she’d cry! Oh dear!!

So, when MrA had been coming home late for the past 20 days, I have not had a nice refreshing peaceful bath in the morning which I had sometimes compensated with a warm shower at night. Err.. I mean I do take my bath in the morning but in a real quick marathon with Nuha crying background..

Oh what did I do when Nuha’s sleeping? I either cooked or sneaked out very silently looking at my flowers in the garden and that is very therapeutic. I mean looking at flower that is.. not cooking

Now, I wonder how I have survived doing all these alone since Inas.. being far from families, 24/7 at home…. emotionally and physically challenging!!  Especially at that time, I took a road which is less travelled that is decided to stop working which of course evoked many different perceptions… but that was 7 years ago..

Now..Alhamdulillah I survived and never regret! Praises be only for Allah!!

Again, Alhamdulillah.. Alhamdulillah.. Alhamdulillah…

Although MrA came back very late now, it is much better than our Bintulu days when he had to leave us all for courses, meetings and what nots and not once but many many many times throughout the year. Alhamdulillah those days are over now.

Alhamdulillah..
