I only own 20% of my name. L is the only part totally belong to me. My parents decided to combine their name to make mine. So AK come from Akhpah, my baba and MA is from my ma, Mariam. Not that I want to complaint, I love my name though (and dont call me L, it sound too girly)

As for Kimi case, the name is 100% his. When we deciding the name, we're not combining my name AK(Akmal) my wife's IM (Izniza Mustafa) and left Kimi with HI (even though HI is better than L). We just pick the name because it sound very nice and have wonderful meaning.

Yup, Kimi were expected to be delivered on 11th Nov, at least that what the "baby scanner machine" told us every time we went to Pusrawi for Ajan monthly pre-natal checkup. The machine calculate Kimi size and make its prediction.

Such a great number right 11/11.

But here it goes, Kimi was born 2 weeks early. Now he's 2 week, hansome and healty young lad.

Many people complaints of their "all night long crying" newborn baby especially the first few week. But for our Kimi, he has been sleeping through the night almost everyday. Great he is ain't a crybaby (yet?).

The first night Kimi at home was the houghest, he's crying all night. Maybe it is a new environment for him, need some time to adjust.

These days he has reliably slept for about 2-3 hours before wake-up asking for a drink. Meaning, we need to wake up 2-3 times during our night sleep to attend him . No more deep sleep for us , but not much to complain about.

He start to make noise once he's wet. I normally do all the "dirty work". Cleaning him, change the nappy, swaddle him tight and make sure he's comfortable and ready for his drink time. Then I passed Kimi to his mom (usually I continue with my sleep while Kimi and Mommy spend time together)

The morning started, as I was woke-up by Ajan. She was in pain, the one she describe feel like the period pain just that it happened every 6 minutes. I knew today was the day and I've told her to be ready as today might be the big day for her. Mak told us that it maybe just a false alarm as we're not expecting till at least couple more weeks. I asked Ajan to take a rest, MC and I off to work.

Ajan called me at 10 to let me know she had been having light contractions most of the morning, but they were so light she wasn't sure if it was the beginning of labor or not. As advised by Kak Ngah, Ajan and Mak off to Pusrawi, thanks to Bang Ngah for the driving and Shafiq for the kancil (Ajan can't stop complaining on the lack of AC in the car though :P).

At that very moment, Ajan still not believes that she is going to deliver that day. Despite, I'm telling her to get ready since there is possibility of early labor. Once arrived at the hospital, she called during the CTG session to inform me that the baby heartbeat is too low and the doctor needs to do more checkups. I keep telling her to calm down and convincing everything going to be okay.

I rushed to the surau to pray for my wife and boy well-being. The same prayer I cited everyday in the past 8 months; for the safety of my wife and my boy, for my wife to deliver with ease and the least pain, for my boy to born perfect and healthy.

As soon as I finished my prayer, I got another called from Ajan again. “I’m 4cm open, you better be at the hospital now!” “Alhamdulillah, today is the day”…

Ajan wake me up this morning crying in pain. I believe the day is today. It is starting to look like it will be a very long day today. We are both very excited and ready (yet scared). Wish us luck!

We (mommy, 1.0 and me) had our first family shoot yesterday. The shoot were done by Uncle Min of pretty peektures. I went straight from the office to pickup mommy at jalan duta before heading straight to USJ for the shoot out. It's been a while since our last picture taken, so quite blur2 la jugak. It's was very tiring, but it was full of fun. We'll sure to come back for another photo shoot few months from now. Wait ya 1.0..

Fhew... After several week planning to balik kampung Yong Peng finally we made it. Seriously now it very hard for me to find time to balik kampung. Ye la, every weekend full with classes. But on Friday, we applied cuti purposely to balik kampung. Kampung was fun as always. Less headache, no traffic jam and cleaner air. It used to be much more cleaner back then though.

We arrived at Yong Peng very late in the Friday midnight. We planned to go straight after works but since Ajan's roadtax is not ready yet, we had to started our journey late. Baby are doing great.. not disturbing mommy at all that night, leaving her peacefully asleep all the way from KL to YP.

On Friday morning, we went to meet Atuk Mak at Ucu's. It's been a while since we meet her. She's healthy as always. When we arrived, she we're preparing the bubur lambuk. We spend bout two hour with her chit chatting.. Abisla 1 bown bubur lambuk and pate full of kuih apams.

We planned to go get Ajan some new blouses but we're distracted by a huge banner on one of the baby store on the way to the mall "PROMOSI HARI-HARI". As the ads said, the items in the store are very cheap. Almost half the price in KL. Jackpot for us and the baby.
