Muhammad Yusuf Firdaus

We brought him for his follow up this morning at KPJ Selangor Specialist for his jaundice. Alhamdulillah the paediatrician confirmed that he is free from the sickness and he is doing very well. His weight has also increased from 3.5kg last week when he was first admitted, to 4.3kg today. That was a 0.8kg increase in a week. Well done, boy!! hehe... I was actually concerned when his weight dropped from birth time (3.75kg) to 3.5kg in a week last week, but the paed said that it was normal, since for the first few days of baby's life, he didn't feed very well yet.

Yusuf Firdaus was actually born in my 37th week of pregnancy. It was totally different when I had Daniel, because Daniel was born just short of a day from his EDD. Since my menses are very regular, my OB/GYN predicted that this time, the baby would follow suit on his EDD, but Allah knows best.

My prayer throughout this pregnancy, apart from for the baby being born safe and healthy, was that my Hubby would be here with me when I deliver the baby. Hubby booked his flight home last February, and if we follow the actual EDD, Hubby might need to extend his stay here and cancel his flight ticket back to UK. But Allah The Almighty had granted my wish, when not only He gave me a healthy and almost perfect baby, He had also sent him to me just a day after Hubby came home from UK. Alhamdulillah, I couldn't thank Him enough. Alhamdulillah....

My journey throughout this pregnancy was also different from when I had Daniel, but the story will have to wait for another entry. I am now a contented mother of two.. Alhamdulillah for all His blessings..
