<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> As the day dawn closer to the end of 2016, many things run through my mind. It's been an overall rollercoaster-but-fulfilling-kind-of year. The good, the bad, the ugly, the wonders. The year opened up in havoc, with me trying to complete my Master's thesis in time for senate endorsement & convocation, work overload with the many company projects, severe headaches from sinus & stress (haha), blah, blah, blah... Things began to cool down a little by the 3rd quarter of the year & I was so happy to have my other good news </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">in the final quarter </span>... pregnant. :) I thought the year's highlight would be achieving post-grad title & completing work projects, but the Almighty blessed me even further. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Hubby & I have been trying to conceive since I completed my Master's & little girl stabilized (she was a late bloomer... started everything slowly but just lit up once she turned 3 in July 2016. She's such a chatterbox & active now. Yay! Praise to the Almighty). With little girl already 3 while little big brother is 5, having another baby would be another wonderful addition to our little family. The timing would be just perfect, a baby in June/July 2017. :)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I found out I was pregnant quite early as I have a consistent menstrual cycle. So, a few days off meant something was off (or on. Hehehe). Early pregnancy symptoms also came very early... the headaches, the cramps. With me in my 30s & being overweight (haha!), I thought that's why the symptoms seem more severe than my previous pregnancies. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was ecstatic to see my little fetus and it's heartbeat at 6w6d ultrasound scan. Yet, w</span>eek after week, I felt weaker & weaker, hoping it would just last the 1st trimester. I was on MC for a couple of days each week during my 8th & 9th week. Finally, when I was hoping things would settle down, the bomb dropped on me near the end of my 10th week pregnancy. I started spotting & had more severe cramps. Not wanting to risk anything, hubby & I quickly went to the clinic. Unfortunately, I've miscarried. The doctor termed it as "missed miscarriage", there was no fetal heartbeat anymore. :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Not wanting to believe it, I went for 2nd opinion. Same finding. No fetal heartbeat. My world crashed at that moment. The doctor told me, the spotting will worsen to bleeding and more cramps. Go home, rest, let it come out naturally, but come back if the pain or bleeding becomes too severe. That was all the doctor could advise. That was on Saturday, 10th December 2016, my pregnancy at 10w6d. I was still in shock/disbelief as went home that evening.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> On Sunday, we sent my daughter to my in-laws. Our son was already "shipped" to my parents' place a couple of weeks earlier to spend the school holidays with his triplet cousins & my parents. God definitely has His ways in arranging things, right? :) I had come to terms & accepted the fact that my pregnancy has been shortlived. God has planned things for me & this pregnancy was just not meant to be. Hard to accept but faith will get me through.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(pic from Google)</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> The cramps & bleeding soon worsened, as the doc said they would. Midnight Monday, things got too severe. I could hardly stand straight anymore while blood & clot were oozing non-stop. Time to go to the hospital. Admitted to DEMC Specialist Hospital at 3am, numb from the painkillers to ease my pain & blood loss (thank God insurance cleared. Haha). Since I still kept loosing blood & scan showed the miscarriage is still incomplete, doc (gynae) straightaway directed for D&C procedure to be performed. By 12pm on Tuesday, 13th December 2016, it was all over. I have completed my miscarriage via ERPC (Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception) at 11w3d.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(pic from Google)</span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> The days that followed were mainly with me focusing on getting back to health, emotionally, physically, spiritually. Alhamdulillah, my dear hubby was with me through it. My miscarriage wasn't just my loss, but his too. Not having my kids around at that time was lonesome yet I was thankful as I had time to recuperate on my own. I did not have to worry about them as I knew they were well taken care of. Praise the Almighty for His plans. It was luck also I managed to find a wonderful confinement lady to take care of me for a week. Money well spent on her week-long package. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Things were going smoothly. Still bled and cramped a little but did not worry much as I've been informed that it can take a couple of weeks to dissipate. Had my 1-week post D&C review on Wednesday, 21st December. All looked good. However, things took another downturn late next night. I was down with fever, flu, cough. Oh oh... By Friday evening, I was coughing & wheezing hard, could hardly breath & cramped badly. Went to the clinic, had to take nebulizer & referred to my gynae as the clinic doc feared post-D&C infection other than my asthma attack due to the fever & cramps. So hubby & I land ourselves again at DEMC on Saturday morning, 24th December 2016. Again, admitted due to asthma/bronchial infection & possible post-D&C infection due to the fever & cramps. As rooms were limited, again, praise to the Almighty, I got a suite! If I wasn't so down with sickness, it would have been a great stay at the hospital. Hahaha... Well, 4D3N Christmas holidays at the hospital. Haha! :p</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Alhamdulillah, I am safely home now, continuing my so-called confinement after miscarriage & healing myself from my asthma/bronchial infection. My son is home with us while our little girl cried her lungs out to go home with Opah Wan (my parents). Hahaha... I guess this is another of God's plans to still let me rest with slight ease (only 1 boy to entertain instead of the 2 cheeky siblings. Haha!). My next review with my gynae & doc (oh, I was treated by 2 docs due to the different issues) will be on Wednesday, 4th January 2017. Hope it will go well. Aamiin. :)</span></div>

Again, praise to the Almighty, I believe all that has happened & all things to come have been planned by Him for my own good, for my family's good. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> For 2017, I will keep striving, keep surviving, keep believing, keep fighting. May God keep on blessing me, my family, my friends, & just everyone. Aamiin. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Alhamdulillah, pray to the great Almighty, I have been conferred with Master's of Philosophy (M.Phil) in Materials Engineering last month. Yay! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) held it's 56th Convocation Ceremony on 23rd and 24th April 2016 at its main campus in Skudai, Johor. Being a postgraduate, my session was on 23rd April 2016. The prestigious ceremony was honored by its chancellor, the lovely queen of Johor. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The overall experience of attending the convocation was... exhausting! Hahahaha... It was great, but tiring. Maybe adrenaline pumped up too much, due to the excitement, long travel, kids' tantrums (hehehe). My aunty (my mom's sis) was really gracious for having us (my parents, hubby, kids & I) bunk at her house for our 3D2N havoc stay. :) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On my convocation day, I was actually feeling quite emotional inside the hall. My darling hubby accompanied me from early morning (love u so much!). My parents, kids & aunt's family all came over once the ceremony inside the hall ended. Many thanks to my cousin, Syafiq for the beautiful pics!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The ceremony reminded me of my undergrad convo ceremony, where at that time, both my parents celebrated me inside the hall. My siblings also attended the ceremony then, waited patiently outside the hall at IIUM (my brother, sis-in-law, my 2 nieces, my sis & bro-in-law). </span></span><br />

2 wonderful celebrations within 1 week. Last Saturday, 23rd April 2016, was my Master's convocation ceremony. Yippee! Today, my double digit birthday. 😃<br />
<br />
Happy, grateful, thankful, blessed, humbled. Alhamdulillah.</div>

It's the final day of Chinese New Year break & I finally pushed myself to type a short post. Haha! It's been ages since my last post. Ooops! 😅<br />
<br />
The past year has been good, not so good, great, not so great. The usual rollercoaster ride. But it's been blessed, regardless.<br />
<br />
One of the best things now is that I'm finally rraching the end of my Masters degree program. Yay! Waiting for the faculty to approve my thesis, go for hard binding once it is OK, submit, & wait for Senate's endorsement. Praying hard to join convocation in April 2016. Yay again! 😄💕<br />
<br />
My son has started kindergarten in Jan 2016. Little girl is growing healthily & chirpy (like me. Haha!). Hubby loves me (hehehe). My parents, in laws, siblings, friends are generally healthy & happy. So overall, I've been blessed.<br />
<br />
So that's all from me today. Hope to write more soon. 💕<br />

My brother's birthday is also in September (29th Sept) but since his day is at the end of the month, separate celebration for him. :-)</span><br />

Hmm, what am I counting the days to??? Hahaha... after so many months of "blog-solace", finally I have the time to announce something... My darling hubby & I are expecting our second child very, very soon! Yay! Adam Asyraf is going to be a (little) big brother, as soon as next week. Yikes! Next week! Hehehehe... <br />
<br />
I am currently on standby mode at the moment. Went for check up yesterday (36 weeks) and the doc told me that the baby might just be coming through anytime soon. Based on my record with Adam as well, I did deliver during my 37th week. So, standby mode on. ;)<br />
<br />
Anyways, I'm off to lie down a bit. Baby's extremely active this time, compared to Adam last time...which brings me to share a pic of Adam from a couple of months ago. One of my faves.. :)<br />

It's the final moments of 2012 and so much memory have been imprinted in my life throughout this year. The ups and downs of motherhood, the loving feelings of being a wife, the warmth of families and friends, and so, so much more. Syukur alhamdulillah, praise to the Almighty for everything. :)</div>

I'm currently having a so-called "writer's block". Boo hoo hoo... :p <br />
<br />
The setting is right, the ambiance is also good... son asleep, hubby with his own work... yet, I can't seem to type up anything for my research proposal! Huhu... I've been in front of my laptop for the past 45 mins, but I've only typed an itsy bitsy eensy short sentence in my proposal paper. So, I consider myself of having a writer's block. Haha!<br />
<br />

<br />
I am supposed to meet my academic supervisor tomorrow noon, with a nice little draft of my research proposal which is part of my preparation for my upcoming proposal defense session. However, I am stuck at what to write/summarize/etc. I have the required literature reviews and others, but I can't seem to put them nicely into proper academic summaries. Am I making much sense here? ;)<br />
<br />

<br />
Anyways, I'm going to work on it for an hour or two more. If the "block" is still on, I guess I should just go to bed and prepare myself to be prepped by my supervisor tomorrow. Hahaha... :p<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wow! Months without a proper post?? Haha… I’ve really outdone myself this time. I’ve been so occupied with a gazillion things that I didn’t realize it’s been months since my last proper post (about my</span><a href="http://dsmz.blogspot.com/2012/03/colloquium.html"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> colloquium</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> in March! Haha). What’s been happening for the last few months? Well, like I said just now, a gazillion things. Haha! It hasn’t been that many things but feels like it (but much has happened. :p). With my active little son around, time definitely flew by quicker than it used to. J</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, my son is now close to 14 months of age. Over a year old already. J Active as ever as he is beginning to become very inquisitive and “hungry” all the time. Why “hungry” (in inverted commas)? Simply because he bites into whatever he can get into his mouth. Hehehe. Adam Asyraf practically skipped a step in growing up. He was still unable to crawl at nine months age but he could sit up well on his own and get on his two feet quickly enough as well when there is something to hold on to (be it his mama, his daddy, any person nearby or whatever his little hands can grab on to). ;) Then, just after 1 day after his 1st birthday, he started walking. Yay! Haha... Now, at almost 14 months old, he's starting to run. ;)</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Anyways, a bit of this and that since March 2012... Erm, here goes:</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">April 2012: My 29th birthday, on the 29th of April! Hehehe... Had a family celebration, went to KL Bird Park. Very nice trip.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">May 2012: Went to perform "Umrah" with my darling hubby, his parents and his aunt and uncle (i.e. 3 couples). My baby boy was left in the tender loving care of my dear parents for two weeks. "Umrah" was absolutely wonderful, truly blessed to have been there. Praying that I'll be guests at the Holy Land again with my hubby.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">June 2012: Signed agreements at the Land & District Office. Oh, we bought a house! Yay!</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">July 2012: My poor baby boy was admitted to hospital, suspected food poisoning. 4D3N of sleeping in a ward. Lucky for me there was a single room available during admission. Pay a bit extra, but gained a whole lot more comfort than a twin-sharing ward.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">August 2012: Eidul Fitri! :)</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">September 2012: My baby boy's 1st birthday! Yay! :)</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">October 2012: Office family day at Port Dickson... Much, much fun! Haha! Plus a wonderful Eidul Adha break. Took an extra off work just to spend more time at my hometown. :)</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">November 2012: Erm, it's just been 2 days into the month... We'll see what more is waiting. Hehehe... Erm, having my Master's proposal defense session mid this month. Erk! Not looking forward to it! :p</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here's a couple of photos, just for the sake of having photos for now... Haha!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Earlier today, I presented my Master’s level research topic to the public. Erm, well, just to related colleagues and supervisors from Razak School actually. Haha! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyhow, we had a colloquium session today, for all of my company’s Industry PhD and Master’s candidates. It was basically a short introduction session on everyone’s research topic. Despite the simplicity of the event, it was still a “thrilling” experience. Academicians and industry players have more or less a different level of thinking. What we may consider in the industry may not be something the academicians ponder on, and vice versa. Thus, the event was in a way, an eye-opener for both sides I would say. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What's my research topic? Here goes... <em><span style="color: #134f5c;">"Corrosion Performance of Zinc Coated Underhood Automotive Fasteners for Local Car Manufacturer"</span>.</em> Fuh... ;) There is a whole lot of literature review that I need to conduct, and I'm only about 1/3 of the way through with all my sources (journals, papers, engineering related books, technical info, etc gathered). There's going to be more and more to go through as well. As the academicians commented to all of us today, literature review is a continous process throughout our study duration. :) That's just a portion of the research (literature and critical review). There's all the tests and characterization as well as analysis to be done also. :p My target is to complete my Master's program by end of next year (2013). Let's pray I'll get through it and excel! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next colloquium is scheduled sometime in August / September, just a few months away from now. That session would be utterly different from today's as it will be a defensive session. We will be required to be thorough and defend our research work. Just thinking about it makes me all jittery. Haha! Wish me luck! :D</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I practically did not post any entries at all the whole of February now, did I? Hehehe... It's been more and more difficult for me to blog anything these days. I even rarely have time to "Facebook" too. It's not that I don't have time. It's just I always end up doing other things rather than blog or FB. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">By the way, my son's getting more clever by the day, with new "tricks". He's just learnt to lie face down on his own and extremely excited about being able to do so. His arms and legs would flail non-stop. He even sleeps face (or should I say, cheek) down nowadays. Hehe... I'll post a photo of him in his new fave sleeping position soon. ;)</span><br />

Hehehe... In the midst of hectic everyday life, time is available. It's just that I need to find the right time to concentrate on this blog. Hehe. :)<br /><br />Last year, the biggest event for me was the birth of my son. This year, to take on a huge move on my Master's work is definitely one of the biggest event I need to get through with... especially with my upcoming colloquium scheduled in mid February. Yikes! :p<br /><br />Last year I simply registered first to get a place at the university. With my pregnancy, I had excuses to move rather slowly with my research work. ;) Yet, now with baby out (hehehe), I have to find the time to get more on my research done. Yes, there is a big responsibility towards my son and hubby and family, work, etc, etc, etc, but I'll get through things, insyaAllah. :) I'm very lucky to have an extremely supportive hubby, family and friends.<br /><br />To be honest, having a Master's degree is something I've been trying to achieve ever since I was in uni. As I was bonded to my current company, I had to serve my time first instead of directly continuing my studies. Now that I have a good chance of pursuing my dream, I'll definitely not waste the opportunity. :)<br /><br />I guess it all breaks down to good (if not excellent) time management, support, hard (smart) work, perseverance, and most importantly, faith. I can do it!!! :Ddizzeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09861760864737260977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400566127268785455.post-90428088593957028442012-01-01T09:39:00.000+08:002012-01-16T21:40:16.583+08:00Welcome 2012!May the year be wonderful and filled with love. :Ddizzeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09861760864737260977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400566127268785455.post-25461200027152192602011-12-31T22:55:00.006+08:002012-01-15T13:29:03.250+08:002011 at its endThe year is coming to an end. A wonderful, "adventure"-filled, unforgettable year. Hehehe...<br /><br />Pregnancy was an interesting period of time for me (early pregnancy bleeding, pregnancy induced asthma, hypertension during the 3rd trimester, holiday in Kuching, 1st time celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri with my hubby's family, etc, etc, etc. Haha!), and of course, giving birth to my son was also an unforgettable experience. Yes, labor was excruciating but the moment I saw him, all gooey and covered with blood (hehe), all the hardship & pain just went away. ;)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikgANSxTomazrgy8FfmU-usb3BijGKmn1mD3kQKig85vy8aBgUUPihemnP2kTXDFcJbXETAS1mKL20SKjXxpi9vL-mdEEot7fRQ_3u2rOd8Qu0-SOjNVKtELpzP2QPTTZzONOh1Jjy5glF/s1600/20111231_101457.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 236px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikgANSxTomazrgy8FfmU-usb3BijGKmn1mD3kQKig85vy8aBgUUPihemnP2kTXDFcJbXETAS1mKL20SKjXxpi9vL-mdEEot7fRQ_3u2rOd8Qu0-SOjNVKtELpzP2QPTTZzONOh1Jjy5glF/s320/20111231_101457.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697726282986301938" border="0" /></a>My smiley baby boy...happy to be going home to Kedah for the long New Year's weekend. :D See you all in 2012! :)dizzeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09861760864737260977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400566127268785455.post-63096787102723787352011-12-17T06:48:00.002+08:002011-12-17T07:27:02.336+08:00Work-&-Pump Mama ;)Well, I've started my journey as a "work-&-pump mama" for about a month now. Hehe...<br /><div><div style="text-align: justify;">What do I mean by "work-&-pump"? Well, it's just a term I learnt from other working mamas. Haha! It simply means, I pump out my breastmilk at work. ;)<br /><br />At work, of course there are many "obstacles" in pumping as much as I want. It's a good practice to pump every few hours but it's not always achievable for me. There are days when I can pump 4 times but there are also days when I can only pump 1 or 2 times. Huhu... Well, what can I say... Work of course comes first at the office. If I don't get to pump much at the office, I'd try my best to pump a bit at home when my baby's asleep and already well fed. :)</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh, what do I use to pump and store my breastmilk at work? Well, I have my trustworthy <a href="http://www.medela.com/">Medela</a> Mini Electric pump set with my <a href="http://www.autumnz.com/">Autumnz</a> storage set.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpleTtrEpxYw0PKQAcibc509rcyG4-v7umBu6qGSvJn1hJMpknuqeXrjQifrPUpYEpR8pHmR22SeP8AXQaV6XuDwZTX9gROIr-QVQRUEa4HDN_Xz0MvnArkkp618YhPuBW5a6P12xDfcIz/s1600/medela-mini-electric-autumnz-set.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpleTtrEpxYw0PKQAcibc509rcyG4-v7umBu6qGSvJn1hJMpknuqeXrjQifrPUpYEpR8pHmR22SeP8AXQaV6XuDwZTX9gROIr-QVQRUEa4HDN_Xz0MvnArkkp618YhPuBW5a6P12xDfcIz/s320/medela-mini-electric-autumnz-set.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686699852510773938" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Medela Mini Electric (also known as Mini-E) & Autumnz storage set - cooler bag, milk storage bottles, reusable ice packs <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />(image from Google search. Hehe!)</span></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">To boost my "just-enough" milk production, I've started taking supplements for about a month. It's Shaklee's Triple M breastfeeding set. Up to date, my milk production hasn't increased much but I noticed that my milk is thicker and results in my baby to be full faster (I think). I usually just manage to get about 8oz (about 240ml of breastmilk from my pumping sessions a day, which is only about twice feeding for my growing baby boy. Since I can only get two bottles a day, he has to drink formula milk as well when he's at the nanny's.<br /><br />It's only been a month since I started consuming the set so for me, it's still an improvement. I will not give up so easily. Haha! So what does a Triple M set consists of?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUgkIIjq8f-YamlTjSvXY1zRdyPH7jllv9Xe2Vsv67QMFjgKOZskuX-awmlrjSwzFTFJLwl_CFndPU2FLjY1iWOWuku2RfYWX8WxemLDHDZbvLqFf8kJ6CYPb43lstpttqIHqJ-ORp1HzJ/s1600/alfalfa-tile+resized.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 274px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUgkIIjq8f-YamlTjSvXY1zRdyPH7jllv9Xe2Vsv67QMFjgKOZskuX-awmlrjSwzFTFJLwl_CFndPU2FLjY1iWOWuku2RfYWX8WxemLDHDZbvLqFf8kJ6CYPb43lstpttqIHqJ-ORp1HzJ/s320/alfalfa-tile+resized.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686868102900953858" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Shaklee's Triple M Set <span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />(images taken from </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.shaklee.com.my/">Shaklee's</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> website)</span></span><br /></div><br />This is how I consume the set:<br />- Alfalfa Complex: At least 3 times a day, 2 caps each time (best taken after direct breastfeeding)<br />- B-Complex: Once a day, after breakfast (1 capsule)<br />- Energizing Soy Protein: At least twice a day, morning and night (or after direct breastfeeding)<br />- OsteMatrix: Once a day, after dinner or just before bed (2 capsules)<br />- Vita-C: Once a day, after lunch (1 capsule). I take this 2 caps a day if I have a cold.<br />- Vita-Lea: Once a day, after breakfast (1 capsule)<br /><br />Seems a lot to consume, right? Yet, I'm ok with it as long as I can provide nutrition for my baby and myself. :) I pray that my milk production will improve but most importantly, my baby will get enough nutrition and grow healthily. :D<br /></div></div></div>dizzeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09861760864737260977noreply@blogger.com0
