Gone....
Assalamualaikum Zubia,

I am a little bit irritated now baby:-) because a long letter I wrote for you within the last 30 minutes was just gone because the system restarted. InshaAllah I will write you again baby, I cant promise you when, because today I will have my ganglion removed, so let see when I will be able to type again:-)

You will be home with Daddy, baby, and I will go to the clinic early morning with aunty Husnul (Bibimu).

I love you too much, cuty...

Mom.

Resistance
Assalamualaikum Zubia,

I am sorry baby, it has been few days I didnt write anything here. Because of this flu, I didnt think its feasible to stay late at nights.
Your cough is getting over, but your nose is still blocked. The doctor said it will take around 2 weeks to complete its due course.

I try my best to clean your nose wheneverI think its necessary:-) but mashaAllah you start giving too much resistance, I just couldnt do it without your Daddy's help. Now you can hit me, baby? isnt it difficult to believe?

Your new habbit is playing with your own clothes and pulling it up. When we are outing, normally I prepare formula for you, in case you are hungry on the way, and mashaAllah now you can hold your bottle, baby..firmly without anymore help from me.

You are getting more active day by day, and I feel that somehow you are getting bored with your toys. These day I am thinking what kind of toys I should give you at this age. All sorts of toys you have, mashaAllah (some were gifted by your aunties)....so I think I just need to combine or arrange them in different manners. Lets see, baby.

I think thats it for now..there are so many things to do today. We have got lunch invitation from auntyEcin and majlis at auntyElwis afterwards. If the weather is good we will go, otherwise we will be at home waiting for auntySamira to come in the afternoon.

Ok Zubia, I will try to write again whenever I find time, ok? I love you too muc, sweety.

Mom.

My first word
Assalamualaikum Zubia,

We went to your doctor this morning, she said nothing to worry about. This cough and flu will take some times to recover, at least 2 weeks.

The whole day your mood was on alhamdulillah:-) Its me now baby who is feeling too much uncomfortable, I have got flu finally. I couldnt even sleep so I thought why not writing here or uploading your today's pictures.

MashaAllah I was so surprised today, you imitated voices, baby...you said haajapaa:-) I was so happy and expected some more words to come from your mouth, but nothing happened afterward.
I laid you down on your tummy and you rotated yourself 180 degree just in one or two minutes, mashaAllah. I was just too excited and informed your Daddy about this over phone.

At the afternoon, we met Daddy outside and then went to V-Markt to buy few things for gifts. You know mashaAllah we have got very big and close families, and we have to bring something for each of them in November. I saw their interesting offers today, so I just called daddy and we decided to meet after his office.

Ok Baby, thats it for now. I think I better offer Isha now and then try to sleep. Oh yes, auntyEcha called and most probably they are coming tomorrow. It will be fun, right baby? You will meet your brother Ra, and Masha of course.

Have a nice sleep Zubia...I love you too much,

Mom.

Jamie Oliver
Assalamualaikum Zubia,
 
Jamie Oliver is a British chef, who makes 'very simple but nice' foods. Today Daddy watched the DVD completely by himself and at the end he promised me that one day he will ask us to go out for few hours and in the meanwhile he will prepare so delicious and various foods for us.:-) Well, so nice of your Daddy.
 
Since three and half months ago we have been members of our local library here in Unterhaching.  And almost every week we are going there to borrow some colourful books for you and DVD for Daddy and me.  That of Jamie Oliver we borrowed yesterday after coming back from Hirschmann, remember Zubia?
 
It has been my big dream Baby, that my kids will like and love to read  books. Thats why I am trying my best to introduce books as early as possible to you.  I have a plan, when we have our own house, we will make a big library for us.  You can buy and collect any book you like, inshaAllah.
 
Ok baby, its time to really go:-) I have to take rest for tomorrow, right Baby?
 
Be healthy, meri Jaan...you know how much we love you...
 
Mom.

Hand to hand
Assalamualaikum Zubia,
 
You know what you can do these days Zubia? MashaAllah the grip of your hands is getting strong.  You can pass a rattel from one hand to another, which is so advanced at this age I think. You also like to grasp toys I offer in front of you and then mouth them.
 
Today one new thing I experienced was that you started biting me.  Maybe your first tooth is coming, baby....I will try to give you teething ring tomorrow.  Hopefully it wont disturb you too much.
 
Ok Baby, once again have anice sleep tonight.  I will be there right next to you, whenever you need anything, just tell me, ok? I havent put you back in your box at night since you had your first flu around one month ago.
 
I love you Zubia,
 
Mom.

Schokolade baby
 
Assalamualaikum Zubia,
 
I just want to tell you how happy and grateful I am whenever I take you out and people give comments on you. Mostly they say 'ooooh, so suß...' (so sweet), or 'große Augen' (big eyes)..or 'oh, du hubsches baby' (you beautiful baby):-)
 
Once our neighbours who like to gather down there at the 'spielplatz' called you 'schokolade Baby'...'braun und suß'  (chocolate baby, brown and sweet):-) And one boy of theirs said 'ya, aber ich kann nicht essen.' (ya, but I can not eat) :-)
 
People say you are looking much bigger than your age.  And this is true, Zubia, you know you start wearing clothes for six month old babies, mashaAllah.  Just be healthy like before, baby.  Yesterday when we were at Dr. Hirschmann, one receptionist talked to us, remember? By chance, she also knows well and has visited Indonesia few times.  At the end, she couldnt hold her curiosity anymore and finally asked me, is her daddy tall and big? :-) MashaAllah you go more to Daddy, baby, and I am so happy about it:-)
 
Ok Zubia, thats it. Just now you woke up trying to find me beside you :-)I think you are a bit annoyed by your Daddy's snores:-)..have a nice dream tonight, baby.
 
Love you too much,
 
Mom.

Unpleasant day
Assalamualaikum Zubia,

I just cant describe, Baby...how bad I felt today. Your cough became worse, with too much mucus in your throat. I could feel the way you did, Baby. It was so difficult to breath, right? so uncomfortable, I know. What can I do, I have been trying my best. Syafakillah, ya Allah please cure my beloved baby. You vomitted few times today, and I was just so worried. I was about to take you to Dr. Capelle again, but somehow you were sleeping just at the time we were about to go, both in the morning and noon, and I didnt have any hearts to wake you up. Daddy called thrice I think, insisted me to go to doctor. InsyaAllah tomorrow morning, for sure I will take you there before you sleep. Just get well soon, Zubia...let me bear all the pain, you are just too pure and innocent to go through all this. By the way, I am also developing some flu symptoms, Zubia:-)

Today we just stayed home, baby. I had 'yesterday spaghetti' for my lunch and made 'daal and chawal' for dinner. Daddy liked it, alhamdulillah.

I think you start recognizing us very well, Zubia. Today when your daddy was coming from office, the first time you saw him in front of the door, you were so happy, in fact shouting , aaaa aaaa aaa:-) And even you didnt let him eat properly by making noises asking for his attention. I can see, baby..how close you and Daddy will be. He loves you too much, Zubia.

Before you slept, Daddy called Daada and Daadi in Chicago, and they all were worried about you. As you know, they are in US for Faisal Abbi's wedding (already happened on July 4). And I called Fahad Caccha in Pakistan, asking about his blood group which he didnt remember:-) Well actually I am so curious about your Daddy's blood group. Mine is AB+, and so as yours. That means, his can not be O+, neither can be AB+ because Daadi's is O+. All information we need here is Daada's, but he doesnt know either. Hmmm. Sana chacchi's is A+, but this information is not enough, there are still two possibilities, either A or B. Aaaah..forget it, baby.

auntyNelly visited us yesterday and brought us some biscuits. She cares too much about you, Zubia. The only thing I dont agree with her is that she is too much superstitious. You know what she suggested me? She said ''Put her Daddy's underwear around her neck while she is sleeping, she will be recovered soon.'':-) Well, nothing to lose to just listen and smile, right Baby? Respect to others is what matters, do you agree?

Today I made an appointment with the hand specialist, and it will be on next Thursday afternoon. Its quite far from our place, baby...just pray that its easy to reach from the tram station. Please pray also that there wont be anything serious.

AuntyNingsih called few times today, Haydar also has got cough and flu. The weather these days is really not pleasant.
There will be a majlis tomorrow at AuntyElwis's place, but We wont be able to make it, right baby? In fact we should not go there, considering your present condition.

Ok Baby, its time to go:-) to post I mean. I still want to write few more things, but in different posts and subjects to avoid you getting bored while reading this diary.

I love you too much Zubia,

Mom.

Daddy is at home
Assalamualaikum Zubia,

Today is Tuesday, 13 July 2004. Your Daddy didnt go to office today, he gave an excuse that his wife and daughter are ill and he has to take us to different doctors at different times and places:-)

Well not completely true:-) What happened was that I had an appointment with Dr. Link (Kidney specialist) to collect my blood and urine test. Since two months ago I have to take this test to control protein and blood they found in my urine. Actually my gynecologist told me about this during my pregnancy and again the same after your birth, thats why he recomended me to take a serious therapy.
Anyway, Dr Link couldnt do anything, nor gave any medicine, because I am still breastfeeding you.

At the same day today, I have to go to a general physician to consult about a lump on my left wrist, which is getting painful these days (they said there is water inside a tendon there). Also my constipation which is not over since three and half months ago.
Your Daddy and I have a dream that in future you become a doctor, he prefers you to be a surgeon, but I think a gynecologist is better.
So inshaALlah one day you will understand much better about this and explain it to us.

And you are still coughing and in flu, thats why he didnt like me to take you outside. So you stayed home with Daddy today, and I went to Dr. Hirschmann alone...about Dr. Link, I just called him and asked about the result. He said protein was decreased alhamdulillah, but he found something slightly not normal with the function of liver (hopefully nothing serious).

Today you didnt have too good mood to play I guess. This cough and flu really made you feel uncomfortable.

I uploaded your pictures to yahoo, this is the complete address : http://photos.yahoo.com/alam_zubia :I still have to upload some more, but time after time inshaAllah, I think I have told you before that our internet connection is not fast. I proposed to your Daddy to get DSL connection, but somehow he has been too busy these days, taking care of his passport renewal and your name endorsement on his new passport.

I noticed toady you demanded more attention from us:-) maybe because of these flu and also I read in BabyCentre and at this age a baby like to be a single star at home:-)

Ok Sweety I think thats it for now, this is actually Wednesday morning, and we have togo to Dr. Hirschmann to give sme blood. This time I have to take you along. You and daddy are still sleeping sound.

I love you Zubia,

Mom.

PS : I am connected to internet, baby, but can not upload this post because Blogger is temporarily unavailable due to planned maintenance. So I will do it later, ok Sweety?

Story behind my name
Assalamualaikum Zubia,

Nine months seemed to be just not enough to find a good and meaningful name for you. Even after your Daddy and I found some good names (according to each of us), an agreement couldnt be achieved. These are some names of your Daddy's choices : Sahar, Shaliha, and some I forgot (sorry Dad..). And some of mine were Janeeta, Faiqa and some more which I also forgot (getting old, zubia:-)

Daada and Daadi didnt give any suggestions that time.

Finally we agreed to name you Faiqa Alam Rizvi. But at the end, your Daada and Caccha Cacchi in Pakistan proposed to change it with Zubia which means 'Gift of Allah'. I didnt really agree with this name because a name should be a prayer, but finally I also agreed. I was thinking there must be some prayers also in the meaning of this name. Zubia means gift of Allah, and a gift from The Most Holy, The Most Beautiful, and The Most Merciful must be something very valuable and wonderful. So I pray, My Baby...you will always be pure and beautiful just like you are now...just like the way it was when the first time you came into our life, bringing such a happiness...

Thats it ,Baby...I have to check the status of your yahoo photos now. Our internet dial up connection is too slow at the moment.

Love you Zubia,

Mom.

Story of my birth
Assalamualaikum Zubia,

Its not worth remembering really, because the pain was nothing compared with the happiness I went through after looking at your cute face.

My delivery due date was February 19 2004, but maybe because of the cold weather outside, you preferred to stay inside longer than that:-)
It was Thursday March 4 2004, when the doctors at Harlaching Hospital decided to induce labor for me. So there we were, arrived at the 'kreiss sall' complete with a huge luggage for the delivery. I got the inducement at around 9 am, but didnt get any serious labors till night, then they decided to repeat the treatment again on Saturday. But I had to stay overnight at the hospital, given a very nice room...but I just couldnt sleep well because your daddy had to sleep somewhere at the corridor.

We went back to hospital on Saturday, and I got the hormon injection at 9 am. I think that time they must have increased the dose. I felt hard and frequent contractions at around 11 am untill 3 am Sunday 7 2004. I just couldnt bear it anymore, Zubia...I am really sorry. It was too much painful. The doctor decided to give PDA (Peridural Anasthesia) at 3.30 am and we were just agreed. Your Daddy was fainting that time, almost felt down with too much sweat all over his body:-)
Still you were stubborn:-) And finally they decided to take you out by c-section at 8.15 am. And there you were baby, born at 8.24 am, Sunday March 7 2004, 3510 grams and 53 cm long:-)
All those painful hours went away in a second, Sweety.. when I saw you and the smiling and happy face of your daddy.

So thats it, my baby...

Love you too much,
Mom.

I am coughing
Assalamualaikum Zubia,

You've got cough since Saturday night. I took you to your pediatrician today, the first time we went there alone, Daddy used to go with us, but today early morning he had to attend an important meeting.
She gave you a cough syrop and saline solution for your nose. Well, this is the second time you have flu.

Recently you start rotating yourself whenever I put you in your bed. You like to play with a soft book (with a mirror on it) or a wooden stroller chain I hang above your bed. And these days you like to play with your own fingers:-)

Since two months ago I order monthly book packets for you which are sent according to your age and your need for toys. You have got some soft books so far, including one to hang on your stroller.

Not too much happened today, most of the time you slept with me:-) I didnt even cook as yesterday's 'chicken tikka' and 'kebab' Daddy made with our new electric grill were still there.

While writing this today post, I am uploading your pictures to yahoo. You are sleeping with Daddy just right behind me:-)

Ok sweety, let me send this post, okay?

Have a nice dream, my baby...

Mom.

About me, so far...
Assalamualaikum Zubia,

This is Mommy again. I have been thinking to write a brief about you and your activities in those first four months before writing here on daily basis.
I will try my best to describe how amazing and lovable you have been all this time.

First of all, I would like to tell you that I admire your look from the first time I saw you after birth. Your lips were dark pink with such a cute shape which is a perfect combination of those of Daada and Daadi:-) Even Talat Aunty said you looked like Daada when she visited us in hospital.
Anyway...nature wise, you were a really nice baby, you didnt give me problem at all. You woke up few times at nights for the first month, which is very normal, buat later on you woke up only twice and then once, which is very wonderful of you. Indeed, I thank you, my baby....
Whenever you cried, that meant either you were hungry or sleepy or not feeling comfortable with your nappy. You never did it unnecessarily, did you Zubia? Remember those times?

Daadi was here with us untill March 20. She had to go back Pakistan early because another task was waiting for her (Faisal Abbis's wedding preparation). Daadu left much earlier (February 20) because your Caccha Cacchi were having exams, and somebody had to be with them (I dont know why it is a must for them...)

I used to recite Al Fatheha and Al Ikhlas in front of you and you liked to give responds aaaa, eee,aaa :-) You did it when you were one till two and half month I think, after that you were not interested anymore. But till now I play juzAmma cassette, and let you listen to it daily. I pray that you will be very close to Quran.

You started smiling at us when you were two month old. We were so happy that time, in fact everyday we were amazed with so many new things you did ( I mean...we are still amazed :-). And you started laughing when you were exactly three month old. We three used to throw a small ball to each other which made you laugh a lot.

Some friends of mine said that when a baby has colic, it would be such a difficult time...but alhamdulillah you never had it. Doctor said after four months there is no chance of colic, because by this time your digestion system is already mature. You cried out loud once, when you were three month old, just few hours after your first vaccination. I was so nervous that time, really didnt have any idea what to do, so instead of giving you milk (which was what you really wanted) I called your Daddy and AuntyAsmah for suggestions, and that made you more irritated I guess:-) After I cooled myself down , I offered you milk and what happened just made me feel silly, you grabbed it quickly and slept. Zubi..zubi...Zubi...

At your first month, you had your first check-up after discharged from hospital (basically third check-up or U3), and everything was fine alhamdulillah...you gained 1,1 kg that time. Your pediatrician is Dr. Barbara Capelle in Unterhaching. Well, she is nice and speaks English, thats why we keep taking you there.

Last week (July 5), you had your fourth check-up (or U4), and mashaAllah you were 8 kg 66 cm. Just a perfect figure showing that mashaAllah you were healthy.

I think thats it for now. I will try to add more whenever I remember something interesting during your first four months.

Love you Zubia,

Mommy.

If you did not twinkle so?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

In the dark blue sky you keep,
andThrough my curtains often peep,
For you never shut your eyes,
Till the morning sun does rise.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

Lights the trav'ler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle on, please, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

Agar..kelak kau dijadikan manusia
Pembebas bencana..pelepad dukalara

Puji syukur pada-Mu ya Illahi Robbi
Tercipta buah hati dambaan insani
Kuserahkan jiwa raga sebagai bukti
Sang Mommy dan Daddy bersatu dalam janji

Kususun jemari kuuntai kata pinta
Hanya kepada-Mu kumohon selalu
Luruskan jalan dan ringankan langkahku
Menuju ridlo-Mu Illahi......

Pelangi
Pelangi-pelangi alangkah indahmu
Merah-kuning-hijau dilangit yang biru
Pelukismu agung siapa gerangan
Pelangi-pelangi, ciptaan Allah.


Bintang Kecil
Bintang kecil, dilangit yang tinggi
Amat banyak, menghias angkasa
Aku ingin terbang dan menari
Jauh tinggi ke tempat kau berada
.

Kebunku
Lihat kebunku
Penuh dengan bunga
Ada yang merah...dan ada yang putih
Setiap hari kusiram semua
Mawar melati...semuanya indah.

Kasih Mommy
Kasih Mommy
Kepada Zubi
Tak terhingga sepanjang masa
Hanya memberi
Tak harap kembali
Bagai sang surya menyinari dunia.

Balonku

Balonku ada lima, rupa-rupa warnanya

Hijau Kuning Kelabu Merah Muda dan Biru

Meletus balon hijau Duaaar, hatiku sangat kacau

Balonku tinggal empat, kupegang erat-erat.



Love you,
Mami.
