The Me Inside....

Helo blog, It's me, checking in. I'm on my camping ground again... Got nothing to do apart from blogging. At exactly 22 months, weaning process went really well today. I told Onya my nipple hurt. Dia tetep minta nenen tp I told her ga bole isep, nenennya sakit. Jd dia cuma nempelin pipinya aja. Pas dia mau isep, I reminded her that nippie lagi sakit. Then she said "gapapa... Pipi aja" Trus dia blow a kiss ke si nenen. She asked for a hug and she said "tutup nenen" Aaah... My heart melt. Even from a very young age, I know my daughter has a very good heart. Anak baik. Terharu pisan gw. ---- Going Bandung early morning tomorrow. Hasrat shopping udah ga bisa dibendung heueheuhe. ---- Urusan tour ke Korea buat mami udah beres. Paid everything in full already. I'm blessed to be a blessing. ---- I haven't blogged about the update of our NZ PR application. Yes. We're making a progress. We got our WTR (Work To Residence). So all we gotta do now i...

Wonder why gw rajing nge blog lagi lately? It's because gw lagi "kemping" mulu. Tiap malem skrg dipisahin sama Onya, supaya dia gak bangun minta nenen mulu. I can't watch TV karena si onya kalo liat di depan terang dr bawah pintu kamar, dia minta kuar lagi. Saya ini penganut NO TV di kamar. Iya. Jd Andi and I agree kalo there can only be 1 TV in the house. (2 sih, tp 1 lagi dikamar pembantu). Tujuannya supaya we have more time as a family. Gak kaya kebanyakan keluarga these days yg anggotanya sibuk nonton TV di kamar masing2. Trus gw jg ga bisa maen iPad, krn iPad-nya suka dipake main onya sebelon dia bobo, jd tu iPad ada dikamar sebelah. So I'm left with my blackberry deh. Uda abis ngebacain statuus2 FB, twitter and berita. Masi belon ngantuk. Jadi ngapain dong gueee? Ya ngeblog deh. Today kalimatnya Onya nambah lagi. Panjang skrg ngomongnya, hari ini 2 kata. "Minum cow cow milk" Hahahahha... My baby is reallly growing up. Onya itu orangnya geli-an. Tad...

Baby girl has started talking two words. Her first two word was "babacip" = baa baa sheep and her vocabs seem to increase so fast in just one day. Tiba2 dia uda bisa bilang these words: Mami mandi Ello kiti Tiup lilin Bobopet = spongebob squarepants Kiki mos = mickey mouse Dedi kerja Bani pepel = Barney purple Kaut whait = cloud white Nek atas = naik atas Warna juga makin banyak taunya. Red, green, blue, orange, yellow, purple, black, white, grey, coklat. Wiih... Baby growing up so fast. Too fast! ----- Ooohh, went to Emma's yesterday. dia kan baru punya puppies, so I took Onya buat main sama anjing2 kecil itu. Hepiii deh Onya gak takut anjing. Santai aja belai2 walo rada kaget pas ditomplok. ----- Hari ini santai. Subuh dpt kabar gembira ttg "two stripes finally" Pagi banyak ngobrol sama Andi. From the moment I opened my eyes this morning, udah curhat. Pake2 acara mewek pula :) Told him intinya from time to times gw berasa kayak the first born in the parable of...

Gua masih belon bisa tidur! Mikir... I'm not saying gua bersumpah ga akan mau nambah anak ya. I'm just saying, sekarang ini as per this very second, I'm not ready to have another child. Banyak org yg bilang gini: "Punya anak jgn satu, kasian dia sendiri kesepian" or semacem itu. Banyak juga yg bilang: "Kalo punya sibling kan bisa tuker pikiran" gw senyum2 aja. Everybody berhak punya pendapat. Tapi gw pernah bilang gini ke Andi, I've seen people with siblings yg ga ngomong for years. I've seen people with siblings yg cannot even share their feelings towards each other. And I told Andi... More than I want a sibling for Onya, I want Onya to have an "Abo". That has been one of prayer items gua buat Onya ... is that God will give her an "Abo" in life. Someone who'll laugh and cry for & with her. ..... who'll do stupid and crazy things with. ..... whom she can be secure with. ..... who'll share tons of idiot...

Those close to me pasti tau lah. I've had my whiny days. I've had my "onya main sama otoy dulu, mami need to inhale exhale a super deep breath!" I've had my kronos and kairos times. Tonight is my Kairos. You see, I was never a type yg "suka anak kecil" In fact, sampe skrg pun I'm not. I only love mine :) Beneran deh, I'm anything BUT someone who adores kids. I was the one who said "I hate kids" :) When Onya came into our lives, everything change. I became a mom who gets parenting tips from Google, Dr. Sears and Babycentre.com. A mom who breaks all Grand Ma's rules and silly myths. A mom who shabbily dress her baby without a "kaos dalem". A mom who refuses to use 'gurita' on her baby (left alone naro koin di puser supaya ga bodong!). A mom who threw out all Baby Talc Powder and Lotions. A mom who never uses 'minyak telon' (selain ga bole sama dokter, turns out Onya alergi ama minyak telon). A mom who ...

I've been trying to wean her since she was 15 months old. Pelan2 sih. Gw ga mau maksa. Jd ya obviously adalah episode jerit2, nangis kejernya *this happened on BOTH the baby AND the mother* Bukannya apa, tp gw jg sometimes very very tired. Onya bisa bangun 2 jam sekali minta nenen. Bahkan pas mo numbuh gigi bisa 30 menit sekali bangun. Dan I know dia nenen itu no longer as "needs", tapi more buat comfort. Karena kalo weekend gw ngelayap seharian (onya ditinggal dirumah dijaga Andi), dia santai2 aja. Tidur aja tanpa nangis. Digendong sebentar juga bobo. Jd ya pelan2 dibilangin, ga bole nenen lagi. Trus kadang di tega-in, gak dikasih nenen walo dia nangis2. Tp itupun gak lama gw biarin nangisnya. I'm not the kind of mom yg bisa blaga budek :( Jd stage weaningnya Onya tuh gini: 1. Nencoy/Empeng/Pacifier Yess... Gw in a very desperate need to get a stretch of night time sleep sampe gw kasih empeng! Sukses???? Ooohhh jelas TIDAK!! Dgn sukses DILEPEH mentah2 ama Onya. Gw be...

Helo helo... Baby girl is almost 22 months old. She finally had her first haircut last month. Lucu. Jadi meni bulet pisan. Kosa kata udah mulai banyak. Bawel. Smart. She knows colors and beberapa huruf like S,O,N Gigi udah ada 12. 6 atas, 6 bawah. Makan juga udah segala rupa digares, pinter makannya, ga picky (thank God!!) tp apparently gw ini tipe mamih yg bisa dibilang ngejaga banget what goes into her mouth. Jd ga bakal deh Onya gw kasih junk food. Masih 98% home made (yg 2%-nya cemilan biskuit dia yg beli), tanpa micin and mostly pake organic stuff. Tiap mau ke mall gw masih ngelenong di dapur, selalu bekal makan. *walo belakangan sejak ga ada Yeni, kadang gw suru Otoy yg masakin* Ampir ga pernah makan yg digoreng. Biasanya it's either kukus, rebus or oven-baked. Makan buah biasanya sehari 2x. Kalo gw lagi lupa blanja ya minimal seari sekali deh. Susunya masih ASI. Walau 2 minggu belakangan ini udah mulai gw kurangin jauh ASI-nya dan kasih dia fresh milk Greenfields or U...
