Bantal comel

I hate all cartoon characters kalau nak beli baju baby but Elmo & Hello Kitty is an exception. (Ok, gift pon exception jugak sebab dah orang bagi haruslah sukaa..) So that's why la baju Fedora kalau tak plain,animal print, stripes, lace, polka dot. And kebetulan found out yg my friend Yanie buat bisnes online bantal comel & ternampak Hello Kitty so terus terasa nak beli.;p Kenal Yanie from my friend Wani since Yanie added me kat FB & tak pernah jumpa in reality pon sampai la masa nak pick up bantal.:D

Fedora memang takde bantal since kat Aussie memang takde jual bantal for baby cos orang Aussie fikir having a pillow tu tak baik untuk baby since it may harm the baby (takut lemas etc) but I can't resist this cute pillow!

My sis kata kalau memakcik melawat Fedora tanya nama & then susah sangat nak sebut nama dia, show them this pillow.Lol.

Hello Malaysia

Alhamdulillah, we have safely arrived Malaysia yesterday. Phew, the journey was VERY challenging but we met many helpful and kind people everywhere who always wanted to offer help. Tak kira agama, bangsa mahupun warna kulit.Hee.

I never knew that we have to make a special request for bassinet in Air Asia flight! Sebab masa booking online takde tanya pon nak bassinet ke tak so I thought dah bayar extra for infant means kita akan dapat bassinet. So gila tak nak pegang je baby sepanjang 8 hours journey? Ok, ada orang lain in the same fight yang buat macam tu but I don't know la whether she knows about the bassinet or not, nak save $$$ ke apa.

So masa masuk flight I asked the stewardess about the bassinet and she felt sorry for me (selalunya stewardess I jumpa semua muka ketat cam malas layan, ngan foreigner kemain macam manisnyaaa;p)  & very helpful carikan 1 row yang kosong (flight penuh btw) so that I can have more space to put my baby on the seat.

She slept for 7hours! Very good girl!:')

Another stewardess namanya Azlizawati (wow ingat nama.;p) pulak really love to treat Fedora sebab katanya dia ada baby girl 7 months. I was like "Wah..sanggup tinggal baby nak fly jauh2 & dah slim melim youuu." Sentap sendiri still belum slim lagi.;p

Ok, some tips that I wanna share:
- Doa banyak2 minta Allah mudahkan perjalanan kita, doa baby kita sihat2 je & semoga Allah temukan kita dengan orang2 yg baik.:)
- You know when your baby will normally sleeps longer so kalau boleh book la tiket ikut waktu tidur dia.Like my baby, she always sleeps longer at night so I booked night ticket la.
- Pls ensure ada bassinet!
- If you need to travel alone, jangan segan2 minta tolong orang kalau rasa susah.Use your mouth!
- Masa flight ready to take off & nak landing, bf or feed your baby so baby tak bingit telinga ke apa. My baby alhamdulillah tak nangis during that time.:)
- Bring iPad etc to entertain your baby kalau baby bangun.
- Kalau baby meragam jugak after all things have done, bersabar jela & tebalkan muka ye.Hiks. Tula cabaran as a parent. Orang sekeliling insya-allah faham & if diorang tak faham tu maybe diorang takde anak or terlupa yg diorang pon dulu baby jugak!After all, that's the importance of applying tips no 1!

Pampers Cap Ayam

Ramai orang sebut nappies tu Pampers padahal Pampers tu brand bukan barangnya. Punyalah hebat penangan brand Pampers. Termasuklah myself, haritu cakap kat midwife masa midwife nak timbang berat Fedora, "Take off everything including her pampers?" ."Ooops sorry, I mean her nappies" Teehee.Midwife pon cakap, "Don't worry, I still can understand what you said." Pfftt.

Pampers takde kat Adelaide ni so instead I guna Huggies. ALWAYS.HEART.HUGGIES tak kiralah nappies or wet tissues. Huggies comel &sangat berkualiti.

 Cute Huggies boxes.

Kat Aussie, Huggies ada 2 different types; for boy/girl. Kononnya extra protection for boy/girl lain sebab 'tututt' boy/girl pon lain kan.;p And..so far alhamdulillah Fedora tak pernah kena diaper rash. Lagipon most of the time masa change nappy I use the Earth Angel Mama Baby Bottom Balm. Masa baru lahir istiqamah sapu tapi makin dia besar ni makin malas sebab kaki dia tuuu dah tak boleh duduk diam, badan pulak nak pusing2. It makes harder for me to change her nappy so I want to make it as quick as I can! Phew.

Dulu konon nak save budget nappies, I shipped Huggies from Malaysia but sedih the quality is not the same padahal Huggies jugak kan? Read many blogs kat Malaysia cakap MamiPoko bagus so I think I should try MamiPoko la kat Malaysia nanti.

Ok, pampers cap ayam dah pernah guna once but I think they're not worth it sebab kena tukar agak kerap otherwise bocor, kena basuh cadar etc rugi jugak air,masa, tenaga nak basuh semua dengan my routine yang semua kalau boleh nak buat cepat. Paling sakit hati baju Fedora yang baru pakai dah kena stain. Jenuh pulak nak bagi stain tu hilang.*Sigh* My friend said try sental dengan sabun mandi.Again. rasa buang masa+tenaga. Why not spend jela extra money for nappies. The other thing is risau konon nak save pakai pampers cap ayam then baby kena diaper rash pulak kan.Sure rasa lagi tak berbaloi. Nak salahkan nappies or diri sendiri yang nak 'save'?

Huggies Australia bagi free canvas print for everyone yang deliver baby. Yeay! I choose this picture, Fedora when she was 20days old. So pure and innocent!:') I really miss her at that age. That hat was quite big for her actually so kena ikat dengan getah.lol.

 Fedora 20days old

In celebration of Christmas tak lama lagi, Huggies Australia keluarkan Huggies Limited Edition (Christmas design). So cute! Have you ever seen RED nappies? Yes, RED!

Bought for my baby.

Old & New

Most U.S websites are having Black Friday & Cyber Monday sale so I don't want to miss this opportunity to make purchase on websites like Carters/OshKosh, Old Navy/Baby Gap, Crazy 8 and The Children's Place. Ye, semua website sekali beli & they are very cheap! Ramai juga kawan2 kat Aussie suka Pumpkin Patch (PP) sebab PP branded & murah but I don't know why I tak rasa murah & berkenan so instead I shop at U.S websites.

My baby is growing so she can't fit into some of her clothes anymore.*Sobs* Ahahah.Sedih ke happy sebab dapat beli yang baru?;p So nak balik Malaysia ni I dah start sorting baju2 dia:

-Sedang dipakai 

-Belum pakai (which means belum muat untuk dipakai)

-I really love these clothes so keep them for next baby (Erk) or sebagai kenangan dia masa kecik comel.:')

-Sell on eBay

-Bin or bagi je orang.

1 parcel has arrived. Expecting 5 more parcels!

Bought these clothes when I was about 4 months pregnant. Woohoo.Means dah nak dekat setahun simpan. Beli time Boxing Day @Melbourne.Masa ni beli je baju 22 gender sekali sebab tak confirm gender. Overexcited kan.Saiko sangat.Lol. Keep those clothes mana tau rezeki next dapat boy.Tett.Amin.

Some of clothes yang berjaya dijual kat eBay.Yeay! Now I have more money to shop more! No need to shop for my baby bila kat Malaysia nanti.*konon*.

Long Flight with Baby

Finally after 19months I'll be back in December! Ok, 8 DECEMBER to be exact. Sangat tak sabar but at the same time sedih pulak nak tinggalkan husband sorang2.*sobs* What to do kan.. I miss my family so much esp my parents.See.. dah 19months ok.Time flies & bila dah lama tak jumpa & tengok parents kita makin lama makin dimamah usia hati ini macam dirobek2.:'( Ok enough. Honestly I wish I could stay young forever & my parents pon. Insya-Allah in Jannah.Amin!:')

Ok, actually I'm a lil bit nervous nak bawak Fedora naik flight. Got some tips from Dr Halina tapi tu tak mengurangkan rasa nervous.Teehee. Actually most of the time Fedora ok je,well-behaved tapi mana tau kan if tiba2 hari tula dia nak sakit perut or moody ke apa. Semua orang pandang kang oi!

And untuk travel nanti baru nak guna my BabyBjorn. Bought from Amazon. Beli dengan harga masa tu 53dollar sahaja. Why beli kat Amazon? Sebab kat Aussie 100dollar++.;p

1 more thing to buy..Diaper backpack sebab now pakai yang jenis sling.Rasa susah pulak for travel. Aim for this one kat Amazon jugak.Okkatots Travel Baby Depot. Catchy kan nama dia? Okkatots. Sila repeat sebut 80x.;p Harga Amazon 107dollar. Ye, panduan shopping online di Amazon ikut cara saya ialah membeli barang yang customer banyak bagi review paling bagus termasuklah Okkatots ni. Still pening nak black or red? Fikir nak black or red je dah 2 weeks & till now tak beli lagi.*sigh*

What else? Ouh ye.Apps kat iPad. Actually dulu ada iPad tapi macam tak guna sangat since dah ada iPhone sampai husband suruh jual balik iPad. But since ada baby I found that iPad is veryyy useful. Thank God for technology. Kena download banyak before taking flights untuk entertain my baby + iPad tu silalah charge penuh2 otherwise hampeh tak berguna sesen pon. *REMINDER for myself*

Oh yes, Bumbo seat ni pon nak bawak balik.

Her Bumbo Seat

Some of my friends asking me about the bumbo seat once I've uploaded Fedora pics on FB. The thing is I bought it at garage sale je for $10. Omputih tu letak $20 then bila bargain she said,"How much do you willing to pay for it?" I said $10 & dia kata ok pulak.Aiseyy..rugi.Patut mintak $5 je.Teehee.Demand! Tapi segan actually bargain murah sangat since it is in a very good condition + I know the retail price. I didn't plan to buy it since she already has her bouncer. Tak necessary pon beli tapi beli jela $10 je pon padahal spend more than that untuk baju2 yg makin berlambak boleh je plak!.;p

 Fedora in Cotton Snap-Up Sleep & Play by Carters.

Kenit ni memang kalau bagi baring je jangan haraplah dia nak duduk senyap2 lama2. Actually letak baby dalam bumbo seat ni macam kita pegang dia dengan bagi dia duduk la kan. Seems like she really loves her bumbo seat.Memang nak kena buat hand luggage bawak balik Malaysia la nampaknya.

 

Talking Elmo & Talking Tad.

I love Elmo!Ye, bukan Fedora yang suka Elmo, mummynya yang lebih2.;p
