Kepulangan Anakandaku, Ahmad Aariz

Hi folks... First of all Salam maulidur rasul....

finally after waiting for almost 2 months, Ahmad Aariz was discharegd from the hospital. Only Allah knows how relieved we are! The feeling to be able to bringing him home, holding him close 24-7 and taking care of him is just indescribable....the feeling of love is overwhelming....I actually told my other half, that i have this unexplained emotion just looking at Aariz since we brought him home. Duan said he thinks when Aariz was in the hospital and when we visited him, it was more to fulfill the responsibility that we have, for bringing him to this world but having him at home and being able to take care of him ourselves, they come along with a totally different state of feelings or emotions and affection!

While in the hospital, the staff kept telling us that Aariz has the loudest cries ..i.e. he can easily topple others when it comes to crying but i dont think he is that bad. However, we do notice immediately that he wants to drink more than his usual 3 hourly feeding of 45ml (each time, in the hospital). He's taking his milk every 2 to 1.5 hours now and this pattern goes for both day and night. For the past 2 months, Aariz was exclusively on breastmilk but my stock of milk is reducing and apparently, he had his first bottle of formula this very morning. So he will on mixed feeding in no time.


His feeding pattern is not strange to me as i have had same experience with the other 3 boys as well...so to those couples expecting for a baby boy, this is something to be expected okays!
Sleepless nights for mummy definitely....... Thank god i have a husband who willingly shares the duty---- that is sunah---Nabi kan sentiasa membantu di rumah apart from his enormous duties towards the ummah.

Know what, it is also not advisable for us to bath him ( for being a premie) until he is about 2.5kg. Thus, we only clean him by wiping using towel and the "Johnson's wipes". So at 2 months old he is yet to take any bath...kesian kan??? Tak pe lah soon sayang!

I think that is all I wnat to post on Aariz for now, I will update his development from time to time. As for now, his activities are only feeding and sleeping and crying of course:).
