Hang Over

Caca,

Last night you woke up at 1.00 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep afterward.
Ayah hold you for almost an hour.. but still you were still awake and crying.
(poor Ayah, he needed some good sleep. He will be going to Batam for business trip tomorrow Ca).
You didn't want to drink some milk.. just kept crying.

I was too tired and sleepy.. Just offered you ASI (breastmilk), but didn't have the power to hold you and walked around to calm you and get you to bed.

We finally woke Mbak Imah, your nanny, and asked her to hold you.

After half an hour of quiet time, I suddenly heard you crying again.
So I held you.. you stopped crying and started to drink some ASI. But then you cried again a little. So I had to hold you for a while..

Aaah, finally, you were sleeping.. at 3 a.m.
I held you in my arms after that, until moring came. You woke up a little at 4.00 and 4.30 for some milk.
Oh, I am so sleepy now Caca..
Tonight, we'll sleep tight, okay..

Mmwahh from your sleepy Ibu.. :)

CALYA LAKSMI KINASIH




After the surgery, the whole family gathered in my room. That’s when we announced your name. Welcome our beloved CALYA LAKSMI KINASIH.

CALYA means: you are perfect, complete. I give you this name. It sounds nice and it is not commonly used by other people. This is also my pray for you, so you will be complete. Remember that I experienced some illness during my pregnancy. I don’t want you to have any bad effect from those.



LAKSMI means: prosperity. It is also the other name of Dewi Sri, goddess of rice. It also means beautiful. This name was given by Ayah.

KINASIH means the beloved one. So you will be loved by all of us. Kitos suggested this name for you. He got it through an old man he met during his silent moment.



Then we thought about what we should call you. Ayah and Ibu decided to call you by CACA. It’s simple and easy to remember. The name also sounds fit for you.

All are from Sanskrit language.

WELCOME OUR BELOVED KIDDY





Saturday, 29 March 2008. At 5 a.m. I’ve already awaken. I took a bath, did the morning pray and get ready for the surgery. At 6.30 the nurse picked me up and strolled me on a wheel chair to the surgery room. Everybody was coming to support us.. There were Nien, Kitos (aKI TOSan), DD (buDe Dyah), PaPi (PAkde PIerre), eyang Ninik, eyang Arifin, Ati Tutut, Kimud (aKI MUDa Arief); then followed by mbah uti, mbak kakung and Nita Vita after I entered into the surgery room.

At 7 a.m. sharp the surgery was started. Thank God, the doctors (the anesthetist, prof. ---, the gynecologist, dr. Yuslam and the pediatric, dr. Rinawati) and their team were so great. They were so professional and also could calm me and made everything was not as scary as I thought.

At about 7.15 I could feel the doctor ‘cut’ my stomach, even though they gave me some anesthetic so I didn’t feel any hurt.

At 7.27 a.m. you were born. I could feel the tried to pull you out of my stomach. Then I heard your crying. Alhamdulillah… Welcome to the world my lovely Kiddy…

They brought you to my face so I could kiss you. I kiss you several times. Oh, you were so tiny and cute. I couldn’t wait to hold you!!

Then suddenly I felt so sleepy. The doctor gave me something that made me sleep, while they finish the surgery. Meanwhile, they took you outside the surgery room and showed you to Ayah and everybody who was waiting for us. Here’s your first picture, taken only about 10 minutes after you were born.


About 2-3 hours later I was awake and had a post surgery observation first before I could leave the surgery room. Then I met Ayah and everybody. Ayah gave me a kiss, followed by everybody, then the nurse took me to my room.

The Surgery Appointment

It was Monday, 24 March 2008, when I went to the doctor for the routine check on my pregnancy. It was my 37th week of pregnancy. The doctor took some further examination on the readiness of your labour. The result was I could not give birth with the natural way, I had to take the caesar surgery because your position was not going to find the natural way out. Doctor gave me an injection to make your lung stronger and ready. He suggested Ayah and me to have the delivery soon. He scheduled the surgery on the following Wednesday, 26 March 2008. Wow,, wait a second.. it was too fast. I had to make a preparation for myself. The surgery and the schedule were quiet shocking to me. So we then decided to do it on Saturday, 29 March 2008. First the plan was to do it at night, but then one of the doctor team was not available, then we reschedule it for Saturday morning, 7.00 a.m.

I went to work the next day.. which was the last working day. I informed my boss and my team about the news and that I had to take early pregnancy leave. On Wednesday, I took some rest at my mom’s home. Luckily we already moved out from our home at Bukit Nirvana.. your new home at villa cinere was already ready at that time. It was just last week when we moved in to our new home.

On Thursday, I took a laboratory check for the surgery preparation and had a haircut at Citos (well, I have to look fine anyway.. there would be lots of pictures taken.. hehe..).

On Friday, after lunch I went to the hospital. Nita Titien and Ati Tutut took me to the hospital. I had an early check before I check in. the result was also quiet surprising. They checked on your movement and discovered that I’ve already had the contraction. But I didn’t feel it. Well, I felt sometimes my stomach was a little tense, but I didn’t think that it was a contraction. After having some consultation with the doctor, I took a medicine to hold the contraction and the surgery was still on schedule. If the contraction didn’t stop, then we had to do the surgery as soon as possible. Having heard the contraction news, Ayah and NiEn (Nini Endang – that’s what my Mom wants you to call her) were running from their offices to the hospital. Thank God it stopped. Then I went into the room (3303) for some rest.

Here’s the picture of me the night before your arrival in this world.

How Old Am I?
