Love is in the air

Before ethan was born i have decided to give him breast milk exclusive.. i was planning to have a normal delivery but finally i have to go caesar... Thank God everything went very well... ethan finally with us :) Perjuangan ku buat ngasih ASI ke ethan langsung di mulai...hari pertama ketemu langsung nyusu..lumayan lama, walaupun ASI belum keluar...terus sampai pulang ke rumah..sementara ASI belum keluar aku terpaksa kasih sufor (nutrilon) dengan sendok kecil..Thank God hari ke-4 ASI mulai keluar walaupun baru beberapa tetes..aku seneng banget akhirnya Ethan bisa mulai dapet yang terbaik...akhirnya sampai sekarang Ethan hanya minum ASI... Aku banyak terbantu dengan informasi2 dari temen2 yang ada di milis asiforbaby and motherandbabyclub... yang membuat aku sangat termotivasi buat ASIX, suamiku juga sangat mendukung.... (ethan lagi kekenyangan langsung tidur pules...) Ethan tidak setiap waktu menyusui langsung kadang aku pump baru dikasih pakai botol, karena kadang dia suka ga sabaran t...

Yes... my baby is born... I thank God for His wonderful gift.. i call it the Favor of God, the angel of our life Ethan Valentino Sukamto, the first son of David and Selvi..was born on Wednesday February 13th 2008 at 11.13pm (at Siloam Kebon Jeruk Hospital). Weight 3.26kg and lenght 49cm. The baby is perfectly healthy and good looking..:) Now my days fill with enjoying every minute with baby ethan, we also would like to thank all friends who always support and pray for us..thanks for all the gifts.. i believe ethan will grow to be a strong person, adorable, humble, loving and a blessing to people around him... I have no perfect words left to describe how i feel...i'm so blessed...

My schedule to for check up actually was on last monday but my doctor was having a caesar for one of his patient, so we re-schedule to came on wednesday, that's yesterday... My blood pressure is normal 120/80 and the baby already 3.2 kg.. he's getting heavier so fast.. I also took another CTG test to see the baby's heart beat performance and my contraction, and the result came out, i already had 10-minutes routine contraction... but no worry its okay because i didn't feel anything..no hurt at all... Actually last monday night i had trouble sleeping because the baby is kicking all the time and my i got long period contraction and it was hurt.. but i didn't repeat on the next day..my doctor said it was because i got tummy cramp..maybe i was too tired, too much sitting i think.. The prediction for my due date is above feb 17th, because i want to have normal delivery then i should be patient to wait until the baby is ready to come out...then the max date is on feb 24th...

Today i had to visit my doctor again, actually the schedule is on this wed, but since i got flu and i need medicine so i called my doctor in the morning and he said i have to see him today.. Its because i have to run some test for the baby condition before take a medicine.. thank God everything normal, and doctor said the medicine wont give bad effect to the baby because the baby condition is good.. My blood pressure is 110/80 and no gain weight since last wed. But the baby weight is is almost 3kg already.. his heart beat is normal and very active.. I took CTG test again to test the baby movement, heart beat and contraction..all normal.. Btw yesterday some of my close friends made surprise baby shower dinner for me.. my husband knew the plan already but he kept from me ... it was nice to have people around who cares about me.. actually i didn't plan to come to dinner because i was not well, i prefer to get rest but they insist i had to come..so i had no choice..thats really a surpr...

Today its my schedule to control my pregnancy.. as usual everything is normal..my blood pressure is 110/70, gain one more kg in 2 weeks... My baby weight is 2.75kg which is good.. I also take CTG test, its carditography. Its for baby heart beat and contraction test So nothing to worry about so far.. all i should do just pray hard for a normal delivery.. My doctor says, even in two weeks its okay for me to deliver the baby..i prefer after chinese new year though... my next visit is next week... Now i need more rest as my tummy is getting bigger and heavier..baby kicking all the time... End of this month we will move back to david's house as its no longer comfortable to live in apartment while i'm counting days for delivery.. Couldn't wait to finally meet my baby....i'm so excited....

finally we can have a picture how our baby would be look like... Yesterday me and david going for USG 4D.. Actually the best time to have USD 4D is when the pregnancy is only 6-7 months when the baby still small. our time is a bit too late coz the baby already big, so its a bit difficult to have a good image, but still we're so amazed to see how he got david nose...:) We can see all the body organs all in perfect condition, and the heart beat also perfect.. Can't wait to finally met him soon..... Here's some of the pictures..

Today is our schedule for pregnancy check up..its almost 34 weeks pregnancy actually. My weight still remain the same as 2 weeks ago and the baby now is 2,45 kg, its normal weight finally..everything just good. My blood pressure is 110/70, baby heart beat is normal as well... So there's not much to discuss with the doctor, i think if all his patients just like me then he'll be very happy doctor hehe very easy job to do.. I thank God for my pregnancy condition, while so many friends having some difficulties, mine is just fine..the baby is very active each day, always making move..i'm so curios what he's doing inside.. Unfortunately i still have to wait another month to finally meet face to face with my little boy.. 2 days ago i got package from Jenty & Rodney.. they send lots of gifts for the baby..all so cute and beautiful especially the Tiger jumper... can't wait to put it on my baby :) Everything has been prepared for the baby..only few things like stroller, b...

Yesterday we visited our doctor again, its 32 weeks old now... My condition was good, blood pressure is 100/80. The baby weight is already 2,235 kg and heart beat rate is 137..everything normal.. my doctor said that my baby weight is a little bit over average but still okay, its because the food supply in perfect condition.. i still have to watch my diet as i still have to wait almost 2 more months for delivery... If i need to have a normal delivery then i have to watch the baby size...:) But i believe its gonna be okay...i'm preparing for normal.. Couldn't wait to see my baby soon... Btw i still have more item on my baby shopping list, i need time to go shopping soon... I'm very excited to enter the new year..as its gonna be a year of new life for me...i believe everything will be much much better as well...

This december we're welcome one boy and one girl at church... Irene - third baby girl of Ps. Yudi & Litha - born on dec 6th 2007 (This is her sleeping style picture i took just yesterday dec 23rd at church, i think she looks just like her dad) Kenneth - the first baby boy of Ricky and Imel (this is his 2 days old picture at hospital, so cute... still couldn't tell he looks like ricky or imel) Still more to come...baby of Joni - Fonda, due on January and then my boy will come on february...couldn't wait..:)

Today it time to check my pregnancy condition at hospital. The good news is the baby position already change from breech to normal which is the head at the bottom. I'm so glad to know that because if he still not turn to this position it would be difficult for normal delivery.. My blood pressure is normal 110/80, only matter is my weight, its too fast.. in three weeks i gain 3 kg. So far until almost 30 weeks i already gain 16kg.. and guess what the baby has growing very fast as well, he's now 1,770 gr..which is above average weight. So the doctor ask me to diet so i wont gain very fast because the time to wait for delivery still 2 months. So today i've made my commitment to eat less carbohydrates, no ice cream, less sugar and salt, everything must be reduced. I'm thinking of doing exercise too, but beside doing pregnancy workout every saturday, i still have no clue what to do. If swimming its impossible to do it on week day as i'm working... maybe just take more ti...

Today we have another visit to Dr. Lukman. Our baby already change his position, now his head is going up close to my rib, that's why i felt a bit hurt on my left rib everyday.

The baby is becoming more and more active everyday, i think he's just like me when i was in my mom's womb hehe... i so happy everytime i can feel his move..thats the wonderful thing about being a pregnant woman i think.

Time flies so fast, just couldn't imagine my baby is 23rd weeks already. Today we go to see our doctor again, my blood pressure is normal (100/70) and gain 2 more kilos in 3 weeks... The baby is getting bigger, now we can get his total weight, its 740grams.. its normal according to dr. lukman. So just like our other visit, nothing to worry about regarding my pregnancy. And one more thing, i just found out that its okay for me to eat sashimi.. its not on the list of forbidden food i should ignore while pregnant. thats a good news..from now on i can eat salmon sashimi....yeahhhhhhh..sushi tei..here i come.. * i wish i knew it before we went to japan * one thing about my baby, he's very active..so happy to feel him inside my womb.. i'm curious who will he look like..me or david..??? I'm now collecting shopping list for him so i can start buying things one by one..its gonna be fun..:) I still haven't found a perfect name yet..hopefully soon.. I hope he will grow healthi...

My pregnancy is 5th months old now and its becoming more and more exciting as the baby is getting more active each day. Alway moving around and kicking..Its so fun to feel it even sometimes it disturbs my sleeping time but it always bring so much joy to me, knowing that my precious baby is growing inside me... My body also growing big in every part..looking at the mirror is not so much fun as before, i prefer to avoid though.... but i wont feel sad about it... To have my precious baby is worth everything...:)

Its 22 weeks now and this is our 6th doctor visit.. I've been waiting for this day, because we get to know what is the gender of our precious upcoming baby.. I've been longing for a boy but still dont mind if its a girl..coz the most important is...its gonna be my own baby.... By the time we saw the picture on USG screen i can see a little spot between baby's legs..yes..i'm very sure its a boy and the doctor say Yes its a boy... I'm so relief..:) now its the time to think about the perfect name for our first son..:) Anyway my body is getting much much bigger now, i gain 3.5 kg for 5 weeks..i thought its too much but doctor says its still okay.. I can't imagine what would be my weight in the next 3-4 months...i might be look like a big giant ball :) My blood pressure is normal 110/70. Today is the first day of my long-holiday, i'll be back to work on oct 22th 2007, so its almost 2 weeks holiday.. me and husband along with my parent in law will go to ...

Yesterday me and husband went to the doctor for another visit..its 15 weeks now, couldn't believe it. Our baby growing so fast, but still we can't see the gender yet. I have the picture and also made a short video with hp from the USG screen..its amazing.. My condition was good, gain 1 more kg and the blood pressure was normal 120/80. It was so amazing to see our tiny little baby, i wonder how its feel to be inside the mother's womb. Some people say that the baby already can feel what the mothers feel, they can listen to music as well.. i must be careful with the music i listen then..to make sure that it will give a positive affect to the baby.. my tummy is getting bigger, its very difficult to wear my old-outfit now..especially for trouser.. anyway i believe big is beautiful :) at least my husband never complaint :) anyway yesterday was my mom's birthday, too bad i can only call her from a far..wish that i could be with her..

Yesterday we're visiting our doctor for our 4th meeting. Its getting more exciting as i was in the end of the first trimester, its 13 weeks now. My condition was excellent, blood pressure was normal 110/70, i have gained 1 more kilo in the past 3 weeks which is very good according to the doctor. When we saw our baby on USG screen...it was a happy moment as we see our baby grow so fast, its 7.1cm now and we can see the hands and legs then we can heart the heart beat. Its so fast, i think 2 or 3 times faster than grown up heart beat, thats normal. Then i got additional prescription, its calcium. I cant imagine how time went so fast..i'm so happy.. now i feel more comfortable, much better than the last 3 months..i'm getting more exciting to feel my baby moves inside my womb..maybe will happen in the next 2 months when i can also find out the gender..*hope its a boy* but for me both boy or girl is okay, he/she will be the jewel of my life.. I really thank God for all He has giv...

I just couldn't help myself not to tell the world about the news.. Early this morning when i woke up, i took SENSITIF, after just 20 second i got the result and its double RED line.. i was so excited. my husband still working *its 6am* we're so happy for the result.. it seems that all my curiosity has found an answer..i was so nervous before took the test kit. then we prayed together..give thanks to GOD for HIS wonderful gift for us. Actually 2 weeks ago i had the first test, the result was only a single line, i was very sad at that time but then i chose to rejoice, still hoping for different news in the next few weeks. My husband also try to comfort me, yeah we still have plenty of time, no need to worry anyway..hey we just got married why should i worry then.. Anyway in these few days I've been experiences some symptoms, i missed my period more than a week already and yesterday i was sick after i got office, people at office say that i might get pregnant, i...
