The two grew up angels

udah capek2 nulis, eh kok bisa ya jadi kehapus :(

jadi bingung deh mau nulis apa lagi


adrian sekarang sudah bisa diajak main, makin lucu tapi kadang makin susah dibilangin, kalau lagi ngambek sukanya lempar2 barang, mukul orang, gak mau dibujukin dulu

biasanya kalau digendong langsung diem, sekarang engga
mungkin karena tambah besar, tambah banyak maunya

untungnya dua cilik ini bisa main bareng, kadang kani yang iri kalo adrian lebih diperhatikan, minta perhatian juga, kadang kani pelit minjemin ade mainannya, tapi kadang kani ajak adenya main kalau mama repot, nanti ujung2nya sih tetep aja pada teriak2, kani merasa adrian cuma ngegeratakin mainnnya, adrian sih seneng2 aja dikasi mainan, tapi kalo melihat mereka lagi main begitu, lucu sih, si ade disuruh ini itu sama kani iya2 aja, si kani seneng karena ada temen main, si ade juga ikutan main, setiap yang kani bikin dia juga mau ikutan, enak juga kalau punya temen kali ya

Welcome back !!!!!!!!!!!

Yeahhh..........

after a long long time, I actually remember this blog

Left this site before, and I .......somehow miss the time of typing and expressing my hobby here, while leaving the tiny message for my lovely angels, Kania and Adrian.

Tidak terasa waktu berlalu, sekarang Kania sudah punya ade, Adrian.

Adrian : mulai bisa tengkurep 3 months 10 days while kania in 3 months
Adrian bisa tengkurep bolak balik 4 bulan while Kania 3.5 bulan

Now Adrian is 5 months old, and mulai berasain giginya mau tumbuh, tangannya digigit2 karena gatel.

Ade lahir di wk 36, 2,7kg and 47cm, but that doesn't mean that he is that tiny.
he is more fat than kani anyway.

in his 5 months old, he is already 7,5kg, same weight as kani when she was 8mo.

i really love the two of them.

sometimes, when i feel so tired, just remembering them, already makes me feel so blessed.

Yet, we dont live with my mom anymore, but we can see each other

My two Awesome angels

Kania & Adrian

kania has already new baby brother, whom she loves so much.
Adrian is so funny and different with her.
he is more chubby but less active than her.

in his 3 mo 2 weeks, adrian -- tengkurep
in his 6 mo - sit with a little help
in his 7 mo - sit longer time
in his 8 mo - already wake up from lay down to sit step by step
                    bubbling with more words, papa, mama, ae ae, etc

Kani concerns with her brother so much, and adrian idols her in every step she makes.

How adorable they are

Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction

mungkin juga gampang karena emang udah takdirnya begitu,

Grew up Kani --

Dear kani,

Mam is so proud of you

You grew up so fast.

Heavier

Yup, I cannot hold you to much longer in my arms, although you only 12 kgs.

Talkative

You can now say everything I say in a row, not only one – one word, but long words

Full of tricks

Any thing can be your playing and friends

And always happy

Sometimes pass potty training by saying yourself, or by doing it yourself in the potty.

Yes, you are already bigger now, 1 year 9 months old….

Hope you be a nice little girl sweetie…

13 month old Kani- minus 1 day........

Hari ini 24 Sept 2010, my dear Kani is 13 months kurang 1 hari…..

Pas lagi ada waktu luang, di kantor hehehhehe……mama mu ini nyempetin mau update diary nih, setelah tadinya Cuma nulis2 diary ajah.

Dengan pertimbangan, kalo buku, bisa ada kemungkinan bukunya hilang, kotor, rusak, dan gak bisa dicari lagi, cape deh udah nulis cape2………tapi kl di internet, wah sampe taon kapan pun msh tetep eksis yah….moga2 aja kalo Kani udah gede nanti, kalo kani lagi kesel sama mama atau papa, kalo kani lagi kesepian, kalo kani lagi di tahap2 pembelajaran, kani bisa baca2 blog mama yah

Setelah berjuang hampir 13 bulan kani dapet full ASI, akhirnya mama nyerah deh,

Mama nyerah bukan karena gak mau berjuang lagi untuk nyediain ASI, the best food for Kani, tapi karena memang sudah saatnya Kani belajar nyusu selain ASI dan kaena kurangnya stok ASI buat sehari2. Bayangin aja Kan, kamu mik susu tiap hari bisa 450 – 500ml kalo mama tinggal kerja, apalagi kalo amah lagi rajin kasih susu, wahhhhhhhhhh ……banyak amat minumnya. Sedangkan ASI yg mama perah setiap harinya Cuma 250 – 300 ml, itu juga udah makan banyak, minum banyak, plus nyediain waktu perah 2X sehari di kantor. Kadang kalo lagi ada meeting, sampe jam 2 baru sempet merahnya.

Jadilah kani mulai diperkenalkan ASI dicampur susu ultra UHT PLAIN ./////…… yah kani mulai minum yang plain aja.

Setelah 1 tahun makan no gula garam, susunya juga yang plain dulu ya de, sampe 2 tahun, nanti kalo udah 2 tahun, baru deh coba yang coklat, strawberry, dll……

Walopun si papa keukeh mau kasih sufor buat kani, tapi mama tetep berjuang mau kasih fresh milk, ditinjau dari segi manapun tetep lebih baik fresh milk.

Padahal si mama udah banyak banget kasih penjelasan, bukti ilmiah, dll sampe2 kasih ngajak2 temen2nya untuk kasih fresh milk better than formula, tapi kok ya si papa masih aja keukeh milih sufor. Katanya sih, ada tambahan omega 3, AA, dan DHA, padahal dari ASI dan fresh milk pun, ada juga, Cuma dia aja yang termakan iklan susu yang meraja lela. Tunggu aja sampe lihat hasilnya nanti kalau masyarakat sudah pinter.

Kani, tau gak, demi ASI mama bela2in pulang pergi kantor plangi – tg priok setiap hari, karena di rumah ada amah dan akung yang bisa jagain kani, selain juga kita gak dapet2 suster atopun mbak buat jagain kani. Mama juga lebih tenang ninggalin kani sama amah ato akung, yah………dimana mana semua anak lebih aman dan nyaman dengan mama sendiri yah……

Kani sendiri kalo mama pulang aja langsung minta nenen, padahal udah kenyang makan macem2 yah, …. Jadi kalau kani besar nanti, be a strong girl yah de………. Kani musti tegar, tabah, dan yakin kalo semua yang ada bisa kani jalanin. Mama pasti bantuin kani eventhough kani lagi sebel sama mama……..

Mungkin kani gak bakal ngerti, tapi satu saat nanti, apalagi kalo kani udah punya anak, kani akan sadar kalo semua yang mama lakukan karena mama sayang kani. Karena mama sendiri pun baru sadar setelah punya kani, that amah is the best mom I ever had………

Tahu gak kani, setiap hari, amah bela2 in bangun jam 5 pagi, buat nyuci in bajunya kani, masakin makanannya kani, mandi, dan sembahyang, karena kalo amah gak bangun pagi, ntar gak sempet ngerjain itu semua, apalagi jam 6 kani kadang udah bangun. Sedangkan mama sendiri baru bangun jam 5.30 atau jam 6, karena kalau mamamu ini bangun pagi, ujung2nya kecapean dan sakit deh….

Tau nih kani setelah melahirkan kani, kenapa jadi sering sakit yah……udah tua kali ya…..

Biasanya sih jam 5 udah bangun, tapi kani minta nenen, jadi gak bisa langsung bangun, musti nenen dulu, kadang ketiduran lagi, kadang masih males heehehhe

Semoga aja kani nanti jadi anak kuat, gak gampang sakit yah……

and someday she can say........Mom and Dad, you are the brightest star that lights up the sky, just like you always have lighted my life..miss you every day...your baby girl!

Breastfeeding ? Is it a must??

Before you plan to have a baby, then first you 'd better think how you raise her........

Having a baby is not just about having a cute little angel, but .....how you can give her the best, as best as she can have,

If somebody says about the best, what is the best I can give her for the earlier days in her life, ......let's see...
First you have to give her love of course, and feed her, and hug her, and stay by her side 24/7.

I always hear about mother's milk, and hopefully mother's milk is the best food for my little angel.
but still there are a lot of questions about the mother's milk such as :

~ Is Breast the best?

~ Why I have to breastfeed my baby?

~ Breast Problems During Pregnancy and Lactation: Frequently Asked Questions

~ Breastfeeding critical for child survival

~ How can I tell if my baby is getting enough milk?

~ FAQ Seputar Penyimpanan ASI

Here comes the baby blues .....

Having a baby means.........you have to be ready for something brand new bad dreams.

Who said that everything will be fine, once the baby arrives, then you 'll be a happy mom.....
Who said that anyway.........

I GOT THE BABY BLUES.........

I feel terrible when I hear she cries..... a lot......almost all night, I don't know how to breast her,........
I don't know how to hug her, and I don't even know what she wants.........
Whatever I do, she keeps crying and crying, even harder....

Hey baby, I don't know who you are, who ruin all my imagination of being a new mom....

I think having a baby is only seeing her everyday sleeping,
but the reality is when you have a baby you MUST at least have a little knowledge of how to calm her down...,
Not only I have to try recovering my body, and all the heavy spirit to get everything back to normal, what I mean normal is, at least I can walk normal again, no more stomach, and no more boneless every time I try to stand out....

Luckily I have a little knowledge on how to manage the baby blues........here

anyho.....a part from my baby blues syndrome, which finally I can get over it,
one thing that I always remember that my early latch on with dede,
for the first time I hold her in my arms, although I cannot move even a bit, but I can hold her in my arms,
still she finds and finds her milk..........

I only a little bit disappointed cause she was given to me after 30 minutes, not in the mean time after her born,
she should have come to me in just time.........no need to be that tidy.........

I Got Pregnant!!!!!

Finally I got married.........
And the daily life of a marriage has begun.........

When I woke up in the morning, still there is no big change in my life, starting to the bathroom, and getting ready to the office. The difference is only no I have my big man, I used to call him Koko, next in my bed who is still sleeping....but a little bother by shining lamp I used to make up.

Read more..........

Wish the rain goes away from everybody's life.............

Life is not always fair
when you think that you are happy, there is still something which makes you not to be happy
I'm happy now but my friends is not in the good luck, how can I be happy???

Roda kehidupan berputar, sometimes you are up, sometimes you are down..........
When you are in the peak, do not be overwhelmed..........
When you are not in your luck, don't worry......the rain will go away....

Be tough my dear, .........
Perhaps it's not your day, but you will be even stronger ahead...
I cannot make you feel better, only you who can make everything to be the best.........

Hold on friends.......
I will try to give you my shoulder, you can count on me
but what can I do if I cannot make you feel better........
I don't have power, I'm not the one who can turn my hands on and off........
because I'm only me.........

Wish Upon the Stars

And everything comes for a reason
so when you feel cold, stand by me, then I will warm your heart,
when you feel that it's too hot here, I will calm you
when you feel it is so hard to find a way, just remember me,
So when you feel you are alone, don't be cause I'll be there................
and when you need someone beside you, count on me
This is not a promise, but a prove for you my dear.....

Cheers,

Kani nyanyi

Satu satu……..kani cayang Mamah

Dua dua….. kani cayang papah

Tiga tiga cayang amah kung

Hehehehe………si kani udah bisa diajak cerita, ngobrol…serunyaaaaaaaa

New words

Yah udah, naik bajaj aja deh……..:)

Eh….kok malah nangis pas mau naik bajaj………..takut yah de denger suaranya yang garing bangetttt!!!

Tenang yah de, its ok……..bajaj is no fear……..

Anyway, after shopping in Pancoran, we went forward to Mangga Dua Square to see Moni, mom’s best friend and spent time together like old time………

First time went by taxy,,,,,,kani was so shy, and quiet…..did not want to sit alone, just wanted to be seated with me……

Luckily she was had fun after all in Mangga Dua Square, crowling around the Dolphin Fun land.

Life is like roller coaster

Just found out that a friend of mine, had bad miserable moment in life.

I knew Mimi from Linda when I was depressed in my love life; she introduced me to Buddha, and taught me how to live in Buddha way. They drove me to wihara twice I guess, since then I found the most religious moment in my life. They both were happy couple and nice person.

Once, Linda was also jealous with her boyfriend, since he was such a loyal person. He always took care and served Mimi all the way, they had long relationship before we did.

But her boyfriend has passed away last year due to seriously sick.

Sorry mimi, I never knew it before, and pray the best for you. Wish your karma brings you happiness.

Life is never flat……….

Cheers,

vani

Flashbacks.........Wedding vendor part 1

Flashbacks

Time goes by so fast, and suddenly we have been married for 2 years. Still bear in mind the wedding day and the hectic preparation at the moments.

What I really bear in mind during that day is the preparation, and it comes up to my mind that there is nothing too lose if I make up some review about how I felt at those moments. So here we go, just like others who review their wedding vendor just after the time, I also want to concern about the “Wedding Vendor Review” ……….hehehe telat yak………better late than never……J

We only had few vendors to prepare our wedding, because many wedding package which we picked served wedding package to make us easier arranging the day……..it was the main purpose, but the fact was……….tetep aja ribet deh……..

a. Eva Bun Bridal

Location : Harmoni and Mall Artha Gading

Products :

1. the wedding gown and make up

As many other `brides to be`, we also visited some of wedding fairs, which hopefully we could have special offer during the fair and easily compare among one vendor to another.

We picked this bridal at one wedding fair held in Hailai, Ancol.

Actually this was not `my dream bridal` at the moment, what in my mind about this bridal was Eva Bun = old fashion style, and `kayak ibu2 banget deh`, furthermore compared to other new style bridal such as New Brides, JJ Bride, or else……..ooohhh I love them. But si koko kept convincing me that with their experiences handling many wedding for many years, we could count on them……..yeah…..

Anyway, since I did not have any interest to this vendor, ….i made many and even more extra bonus than they offered, yeah….just like other vendors who used to impress the customer, they tried to impress us, me with more and more other package that we could get by choosing them. Moreover, the first wedding fair day was so calm, and only visited by few customers. Thanks to other wedding fairs who also held at other place, such as Jakarta Fair wedding fair……..

And I `aji mumpung banget.com` kept asking more and more………..

We spared some time in the car once after we got some offering from other bridals, such as New Brides, JJ Bride, that all I remember, and came back to the fair with `one decision`……..yes we picked Eva Bun Bridal as our bridal………and still with many wishes………..i wished they could dress me with modern gown that I could have every woman wedding dress………..©and wish I could have every woman wedding dream………

From the standard package which they offered the first time, we could have almost doubled than before:

#GOWN AND DRESS#

For the bride :

One wedding dress on `D` day (Nov 1^st;2008)

One wedding dress for the Holy Matrimony (Oct 4^th, 2008) à additional

Two wedding dress for Pre-wed photo session pictures, one for in-door session and one for out-door session

One folk dress for Pre wed in door photo session

For the groom :

1 million (plus additional 0.5M) voucher for the Blazer; our choice came to Grisvian Hewis since they have the showroom @ Plangi.

For the mothers of the bride :

Two gown for my mom and mom in law; fiuhh….. although this extra bonus has made some argue as they did not admit it once we came along with our mothers, then also made si koko claimed that I was not carefull watching up this agreement in the beginning. Anyway after some arguing and hustle, we did not pick these gown though, our mothers made up their gown by other tailor, but following our theme color – Gold –

For others : one gown for the bridesmaid, two gowns for the Front door, plus 3 extra gowns for the rest.

In total we got 7 extra dresses for everyone, except for me.

On D day, the gown goes to my mom for `Tea pai session`, my sis, two sis in law, one front door

Thanks to Nuri, our sales agent, who helped me a lot grabbing my bonus J

And also a lot thanks for their staff who were not so bother if I came there almost every week, picking up, choosing, demanding out to achieve my dream wedding gown.

If you see my finally choice, ………it’s so adorable, not to say glamour, but kinda simple elegant `Cinderella look alike princess` dress……….hahahha……….

#MAKE UP SESSION#

As promised at the start, I would have the make up artist by Eva bun herself for the wedding day and holy matrimony too. That’s what I concerned about at the first time, since the holy matrimony took the one day after Lebaran day, wish `she` did not go abroad for holiday.

But in the middle of the stage,…..they said that they could not afford this……..OMG……..

I was so upset and disappointed at the moment………as the compensation, we asked more bargaining to substitute that one; that is 10 more extra Pre wed photo pictures, as stated in my compliance letter.

And they were agreed.

Though, at the holy matrimony day, ms. Paula, the daughter of Eva Bun, was there, and still did my make up. Oh….boy………she was so nice and very much well indeed as the result.

I could have a touch up make at the hotel, as the started, but they said, I could not afford it.

Anyway, since I already got more extra, plus there was the Mercedes Benz which was not used optimally (8-hour-rent for free) as another of their offer, then I agreed it.

The fact is, I arrived at noon at the bridal for touch up make up and ms Paula was still there, and she did the touch up. One of the staff who handled the finishing stated that, `I was so lucky to have the touch up by her`……..jarang2 loh mbak bu Paula mau touch up lagi……..lucky me……J

#WEDDING CAKE BY PAULA CAKE#

Well, I wished I could have high stage cake, not so call – glamour cake- but the price is too expensive, not to say, it was only as accessories, due the original cake has already in packed by pieces, ready to be given; so we deal for simple ordinary cake but…….. I did not know that an ordinary cake would be so nice and perfect, fitted to our theme – again, Gold and a little Reddish.

In the end, we did not count on the taste, as I only ate piece by piece for the photo session.

#FOTOGRAPHY#

Yet, ordinary result, but we could have it on CD besides of cassette à another bonus J

Although not so great, since it mostly contained of the holy matrimony, ……ohhh I wished I could have more time to edit it and have the wedding day event longer………L

#PHOTO ALBUM#

Wow…..so nice ……..if you see it……….so impress and love it so much………

Enough folk for this moment, if I had more time later, and………. More willing to review other vendor, I will continue this story……..

Cheers,

vani

Food for Kani

After trying to give my Kani more calorie food, such as Chicken nugget made with chicken, milk, and cheese; Rollade made with kacang polong and others; banana or avocado milkshake special but no-so-cold as original; Kani likes it so much and gains more weight…..

She looks a little chubby and cute, but most of it my favorite quote is “mamam” nenen hahahha

The problem is she is some kinda moody toddler, in moment she likes mie goreng so much, but the next hour, she really hates it. Need enough effort to feed you baby…..

Perhaps mama needs more mbak…… but if I had one, I will not lose the moments to feed you and suddenly miss the toddler funny special moments with you. Someday if you grow, perhaps mama does not have more precious moments with you.

Love,

Vani

Menu penambah Berat Badan ....hopefully!!!

Dear moms...

pas lg asik-asik browsing... eh kok saya dapat artikel ini dari milis sebelah, pas kok temanya soal BB, ini tipsnya luangkap bianget!!!

=================================================================================================

Makan itu gak harus nasi lho. Salah satu cara untuk mengatasi masalah BB anak yg sulit atau tdk naik adl buatlah menu tinggi kalori.

Anak yg BB nya tdk atau sulit naik bisa disebabkan :

- Anaknya aktif sekali, tdk bisa diam. Jadi butuh kalori ekstra.

- Faktor genetik

- Sulit makan, sehingga energi yg masuk memang hanya pas2an digunakan utk aktivitas hariannya

- Sistem metabolismenya. Istilah gampangnya udah makan buanyak tapi koq tetap langsing. Nah, gimana kalo makan yg pas2an? :-). Ini berkaitan dgn sistem penyerapan makanan, faktor bawaan anak.

Untuk membuat saat makan menjadi lebih mudah & memaksimalkan kemungkinan anak akan mau makan dapat dilakukan hal berikut ini:

- Jangan memaksa anak untuk makan jika dia menolak. Memaksa anak biasanya akan membuat anak semakin menolak untuk makan

- Susun jadwal untuk makan besar dan snack, yaitu 3 kali makan besar dan 2-3 snack yang terbuat dari makanan tinggi kalori.

- Ijinkan anak untuk makan sendiri, terutama untuk finger food.

- Berikan minuman, misalnya jus, hanya setelah makan selesai

Ahli gizi anak menganjurkan cara agar anak mendapat lebih banyak kalori dengan cara memberikan makanan berkalori tinggi yang tinggi protein dan banyak kandungan nutrisinya.

Hal ini terutama dilakukan untuk anak yang membutuhkan tambahan kalori untuk mengejar ketertinggalan berat badannya:

- Berikan makanan tinggi kallori (ada contoh menunya di bawah ini)

- Hindari junk foods, yang mungkin mengandung kalori tapi biasanya rendah protein

- Buat milkshake sebagai salah satu snack tinggi kalori, bisa memberikan lebih dari 400 kalori. Oke punya nih …., kalorinya lebih tinggi dari sepiring nasi.

- Puding juga dapat memberikan banyak kalori jika ditambahkan susu

- Tambahkan keju sebagai toping untuk roti, sayuran, dll.

- Gunakan selai kacang (yang mengadung 100 kalori tiap 1 sendok makan) sebagai snack dan sebagai toping untuk roti, krakers dan buah. Atau bisa juga diblender dengan susu, ice cream atau yoghurt

- Buat snack buah tinggi kalori dengan menambahkan gula atau yoghurt pada buah2an yang akan dimakannya, buahnya bisa buah segar atau buah kaleng

- Berikan buah tinggi kalori seperti aplukat & mangga. Bisa dimakan siram yoghurt atau diblender atau dibuat smoothie.

Ini ada sedikit gambaran tentang menu2 tinggi kalori. Mungkin bisa diberikan dlm porsi sedikit2 tapi sering. Karena anak yg susah makan biasanya bisa disiasati dgn metode sedikit2 tapi sering ini. Ya kitanya mesti sabar2 sih, gak boleh menyerah, gak boleh bosen menawarkan ke anak. Suatu hari nanti pasti ada masanya dia akan mau makan deh… :-)
