We have never made a huge party for my kids.. its always small n simple with close family. Hence there were no clowns, baloon sculptures, huge signage, face paintings... i have nothing against all these party funs, in fact i dream of making huge party for them... but ini memerlukan a lot of money... if i do for 1 kid, i have to be fair and do for all 3 kids... kedekut ker ape umi/abi nih? well, i guess we have to live within our means... sometimes i wonder... will my kids be mad/sad for not throwing a bigger & better party to celebrate their birthdays? i shall educate them on the concept of bersyukur...
Dear Eshmael,
I hope u enjoy your birthday celebration and all the gifts from toks, aunties, uncles...
Umi doakan Eshmael be a good, healthy, smart & handsome boy...
Umi doakan Eshmael grow up to be a good muslim, beriman, bertaqwa kepada Allah
Umi doakan Eshmael patuh / hormat kepada orang tua
Umi doakan Eshmael berjaya di dunia & di akhirat
aminnnnn

The day Eshmael was born (lets see if i can remember/recap this memory happened 2 years ago never good in history subject)
I was on MC given by Dr Delaila in preparation for birth. My due date was 21 October 2008. According to Hijrah Calender we are in the month of Syawal. So I was attending open houses and eating all the glorious food... thinking that i will berpantang soon!!! and i was targeting to go for one last open house before delivering Eshmael on the 20th - pak ngah/kak ana's house... tapi hajat tak kesampaian...
On the 17th i was utilizing my MC by walking / strolling / measure shopping complex with my MIL, jaja & Erina... feeling some kind of cramp... i just brush it off.. thinking... "aaahhh... the baby is just adjusting its position" - dah sempit la katakan... then balik rumah mcm biasa... then the contraction is getting more frequent & closer... thinking this must be it... tapi still cool... telling hubby... i think we need to go la.. but takut false alarm.. nnt kena hantar balik pulak... still dilly dally... then there was a show... OK! we need to go NOW! it was ard 7pm. FIL took Erina to the shop to distract her from following us... we drove from home to SDMC - not that far pon... n Alhamdulillah... traffic not so bad.
Reached SDMC, registered n admitted, i was in labor - its already 5cm. OK... wont be long now.... took some pain killers.. Pethadine & gas... no Epi... breath in breath out.. push push push... Eshmael is successfully borned at ard 11.30pm with the assistance of vacumm suction, weighing 3.27kg. Alhamdulillah....
Salam
