.si gundul

Ah, akhirnya Josh jadi digundulin. Botak plontos. Kejadiannya (hehe) hari Sabtu tanggal 21 kemarin. Benernya masih setengah ga rela, apalagi setelah berjuta-juta kali ngelus kepala Josh pas dia lagi mik susu, kok rasanya bentuk kepalanya agak aneh yah hehe. Kebayang kan kalau dibotakin makin terlihat jelas bentuknya.

Tapi, ah, ga boleh egois. Kasian kan ngeliat dia kepanasan, keringetan dan malah sampai ada merah-merah di tengkuknya. Rambutnya tuh bener-bener udah gondrong, udah lewat tengkuk. Malah kalau digendong, rambutnya sampai nekuk hihi. Udah gitu dia sering ngusrek-ngusrek kepalanya (apa sih bahasa benernya...), kayaknya gatel gitu.

Jadi lah di pagi yang cerah itu (halah), gue, Anton, suster, dan pastinya Josh pergi ke salon deket rumah. Awalnya sih Josh lumayan tenang, mulutnya disumpel dot hehe. Duh, pas ngeliat rambutnya berjatuhan satu demi satu, rasanya sedih banget. Abis rambutnya halus sekali sih. Apalagi pas dia mulai nangis waktu dibotakin bagian belakangnya... hiks. Padahal jelas-jelas dia nangis karena ngerasa ga nyaman yah, tapi gue mikir dia nangis karena ga rela jadi gundul hehe.

Bener aja, setelah gundul... lah, bentuk kepalanya kok panjang gini yah hihi. Apa ini yang namanya panjul? Ah, biar gimana juga, anak gue tetep ganteng dan adorable kok (nyokap mana sih yang ga muji anak sendiri hehe). Ada bagusnya juga sih dibotakin, karena ternyata di kulitnya banyak kerak (atau cradle cap istilahnya). Kayak kulit kering gitu. Pantesan, dulu gue pikir kok ni anak kecil-kecil udah ketombean yah hehe. Ternyata emang bawaan lahir, yah masih kulit kotor lah. Biarpun udah keramas berkali-kali ternyata ga ilang. Makanya setelah dibotakin kan lebih gampang tuh bersihinnya. Tinggal dilap pakai kapas + baby oil aja.

*biarpun gundul, kamu tetep lucu kok, sayang

.kolik

Kemarin gue ke dokter lagi. Biasa, jadwal imunisasi Joshua. Kali ini Polio dan HiB. Huhu bener-bener miris ngeliat dia disuntik. Nangis sampai ga bersuara. Sabar ya, sayang, biar kamu ga gampang sakit.

BB: 5,3kg (naik 0,4kg).
TB: 57cm (naik 2cm).

Pas ke dokter, gue sekalian nanya kenapa Josh kemarinnya nangis mulu dari jam 6 sore sampai jam 9 malem. Kebayang ga tuh. Gue udah mau depresi dengernya. Kasian. Bingung juga kenapa. Dikasih susu ga mau, pipis juga engga, ditidurin ga mau juga. Udah gitu nangisnya agak jerit-jerit, cuma berenti sebentar trus lanjut lagi. Gue sih udah mikir yang engga-engga: ada yang gangguin. Abisnya aneh gitu. Trus matanya kayak ngeliatin something di belakang susternya yang gendong-gendong dia. Yah, moga-moga aja sih engga. Kan gue yang takut sendiri hehe.

Kata dr. Tras sih itu namanya kolik, karena perutnya kembung. Normal kok buat bayi. Ya, normal sih normal, tapi gue yang jadi ga normal dengernya. Emang sih Josh suka kentut-kentut hehe, padahal udah pupu. Masuk angin kali ya. Mungkin itu juga sebabnya belakangan kalau minum susu ga pernah langsung abis. Setengah trus berontak-berontak atau bobo, ga mau minum lagi. Mungkin karena dia berasa perutnya penuh yah. Akhirnya dikasih obat tetes namanya Piptal. Hopefully bisa membantu dan Josh ga rewel lagi.

Hari ini sih ga kumat lagi nangis-nangisnya. Fiuh. Tapi minum susunya masih setengah-setengah gitu. Biarlah, yang penting dia ga nangis-nangis. Kemarin itu matanya sampai bengkak loh. Kayak orang putus cinta….

Ngomongin cinta (halah), my lovely hubby lagi di Jepang nih. For 2 weeks. Kejam bener deh kantornya. Garing banget di rumah ga ada dia. Untung sekarang ada Josh, dan ada susternya yang bisa gue ajak ngobrol. Tapi ga berasa this Friday, he’s going back to Jakarta. Hurray.

Ayo, cepet pulang, babz. Kamu harus liat senyumnya Josh. Iya, Josh udah bisa senyum loh. Ga sambil merem kayak dulu lagi – itu mungkin dia lagi mimpi yah. Sekarang sambil melek, sambil digodain. Ah, lucunya… The smile that brings happiness. A very charming toothless smile. Secara masih ompong gitu hihi. Ugh lucu banget deh pokoknya.

*can’t believe he’s ours.

.in isolation

Honestly, I thought once Josh's here, it’s all about smiles and laughter. A big mistake. This is even worst than the 9 months of expectation. I never thought that sleepless nights are real.

1. The pain after episiotomy was really torturing on the first week. I did't favor changing positions.

2. I got hemorrhoid after giving birth. I didn't hurt but I felt uncomfortable.

3. Nipples were very sore.

4. Had to wake up in the middle of the nights for breastfeeding and changing diapers.

5. Felt hot all the time.

6. Had to watch my food. No spicy food. Traditional Ayam Arak every day. Getting intimate with vegetable.

7. The elderlies didn't allow me to wash my hair! They're afraid I'd get sick. Oh God. Thankfully,, my mom-in-law allow me to the salon every 3 days. Argh.

8. Mom forced me to use traditional recipe when I took a bath. One of them was ginger. Imagine the smell.

9. Had to use traditional tummy-fastener which made feel hot and itchy all the time.

10. Had to stay at least 1 full month after giving birth before I could go out (except to the doctor). Oh, missing the malls badly.

BUT, the best of all. I have Josh.

*let me go!

.happy 1st anniversary, babz!

Tuesday, 27 January 2009 was our first wedding anniversary. Love my hubby much and much more. Hope we can forever celebrate our anniversaries. Amen.

This first anniversary was very very special, delivered personally from God: baby Josh. A very healthy, adorable and cute boy.

So, although we couldn't celebrate it by having dinner outside, we're still more than happy. Also, today the doctor allowed to leave the hospital. I'm home.

*thank you for the special delivery, God!

.first doctor visit

For both:

**Josh

BB: 4,8kg. (Wow, 1,5kg since last month?! Good job, baby boy :D)
TB: 55cm.

Plus his first immunization. Oh poor, baby.

...and

**mama

The doctor explained contraception alternatives and they're scary. Pills (hormonal). Shots (A BIG NO NO. I hate injections. No need to mention that I need to take it once every 3 months). IUD (the best option so far but the shape was just to intimidating). Condom (too risky). Natural (well, I'm not good at counting :P)

Okay... allow me to meditate first and come back next month.

I think woman is really special. Only us who experience these: menstruation, pregnancy, contraction, birthing process, breastfeeding, contraception, then menopause.

*well, at least I feel so special :)
