A New Phase

It's been 9 months now since I've become a parent.

For start, my life has changed and it's all about the little one right now. If I could sum these 9 months up, it would be like a mix of every new tasks & responsibilities, new feelings and countless things to consider thrown in together. Whatever I do, I have to think what's best for Afnan.

A Bundle of Joy

Time flies so fast when you become a father. It has been almost six months since I first hold my little son, Ahmad Afnan. Yeah it's been quite a while but I still remember every bit of Afnan's first day. Let's start with the day prior to Rahmah delivered Afnan.

It was 28th October 2014. It's Afnan's EDD (estimated due date). I remembered waking up feeling so excited, that if Afnan turned out to delivered later than that day, I'll be dissapointed loll. That morning, she looked okay. So okay that if I remember correctly, that morning she even do some house cleaning. Fast forward it was already noon, and we went for a lunch. But she didn't seem to enjoy her lunch very much. I asked whether we should go to our gynae for inspection. And we did; our doctor then asked us to stay for further examination after discovered that Rahmah was 3cm dilated.

The 1st Pregnancy

Assalamualaikum.

How Ramadan so far guys? Motivated to do more ibadah this holy month? Or are you just seeing it passes you by like it’s an ordinary month like every other months? Nevertheless, I pray Allah make us to fully seize this golden opportunity to do more ibadah and ultimately be a better servant to the Almighty.

Now this particular post has been long overdue and instead of continuing to procrastinate it, I’m gonna make sure it going to publish at this hour (poyo). So I would like to share my experience prior to my wife’s pregnancy and during the pregnancy itself, which at this point of time she’s in her 24 weeks alhamdulillah.

So let’s start with our first year of marriage. At that time, we’re already have in our mind to have kids at the very first year. But instead of that, I think the first year was more adapting to each other preferences and nuisances hehehe.

Anyway, as the year came to an end, the pressure to having kids started to build up. Added with our friends whom already got pregnant and married in a similar timeframe like us. But I keep saying to myself, hey it’s just the first year. Still haven’t fully understand my wife completely and I am still not :P Though the feeling to play with our friends’ kids and talk to them in a way gave comfort to me.
