My baby turns 8 today!!

Today is my baby's birthday. She turns 8 today.

And today, I would like to have one dedicated entry just for me to go down the memory lanes and share with you my experience with my cute little baby.

My baby's full name is Nur Aliya Nadhira (means Yang tinggi dan menawan). We called her baby ever since she was 2 days old and have been calling her that until now.

When I was carrying her, all those time during the pregnancy, we were always informed by my gynae that I am carrying a boy. But, I guess mother insticts is much more stronger than any scanning machine available. Everytime I go shopping to get baby stuff for her, I would always bought the items in pink instead of blue. And when I'm done shopping, I will give myself a big smack on the head for keeping on repeating the same mistake. And during this pregnancy period was when I left my job due to so many complications. I was constantly bleeding even with minimal movement and to be fair to my employer I tendered my resignation though they wanted me to apply for unpaid leave instead.

I was watching the re-run of Academy Awards at my mom's house when I got my initial labour pain. It was around 2.30am. The pain was not that severe so I just ignored it. However, it got worse at around 3am and my mom checked and said I was 8cm opened and ready to give birth. I was so panick but I think my better half was more panick than me. When my mom send me to the car, she keep on chanting for me not to give birth at the traffic light in the car and keep on telling me to hold and not to push.

Alhamdulilah, the hospital was not that far and we reached there just in time. I was rushed to the labour room and was told repeatedly not to push and to wait for the doctor to arrived. At this time, I felt like screaming to the nurse....Aku dah tak tahan!!!!

At 4am, a beautiful baby girl was born, just like my instinct.

Baby is such an easy infant to handle. She sleep on time, eat on time and everything she did has a specific trend which was easy to read. She usually sleeps after Maghrib and wakes up around 7am. Very minimal interruption during nite time unless if she is not well.

But, while she is growing up, it's a different things all together. Baby has always been the one with her own opinion ever since she was a small toddler. She will do what she wants to do and don't even care what others think of her, even until now. She is not girly and having her brother as her bestfriend making her more boyish by day.

She don't play with dolls though she loves teddy and have a lot of those in many shapes and sizes ; Elmo, Giraffe....you just name it! Baby loves art, she loves drawing and coloring and very good at it. She loves singing and dancing annd has a very good taste in music. I wonder where she got that from ;)

And the negative part...she screams alot...yup, I mean ALOT!!! She screams about everything, when she's hungry, when she's tired, when she's sleepy and many other occassions. She will fight back with everyone if she feels her position is threatened, doesn't matter whether that person is smaller or much bigger than her. She will surely fight for her right...And again I wonder where did she got that from....

My baby, one of the love of my life, the one who often makes me smile, makes me laugh and makes me shed tears of joy...My cute little baby...My sweet little baby....

And now she is 8.......sigh.........
