2011 has been an exciting year for me.
within a year i have two additional titles to me (an increase in responsibilities),
a wife and a mom.
a summary of what happened in my life for 2011
in january, it was when my father gave my hand in marriage to my beloved fiance and i became a Mrs.
i got to thank my family members for their hard work and effort for making my solemnization and lunch reception a success.
it was nice to see both my husband and i hard work came to life for our dinner reception.
all our planning and discussion didn't go to waste.marriage life has been educational.
i learnt a lot about myself and my husband.
it teaches me to be more patience, understanding, loving and forgiving.
end january/early february, both my husband and i went to japan for our honeymoon.
in march, i peed on a stick and realised that i was expecting!
it was exciting upon knowing that i was pregnant since both my husband and i love children.
however i was clueless about pregnancy and choosing which gynae.
thank goodness for the internet and forums that educates me weekly about my baby's development and the recommendations of gynaes.
i spent a lot seeing different gynaes and visiting the clinic/hospital because of my morning sickness, usual monthly check-ups and false alarms!
i got sick so often and it wasn't nice.
pregnancy though it was tough was also beautiful.
i got to see changes physically, mentally and emotionally.
one of the pros of pregnancy was i get to eat most of the things and not worrying about being fat.
pregnancy also made my husband and i bond even closer.
most importantly, pregnancy made me understand and experienced how and what my mom feels.
in october, i got confirmed at work after a year of working.
i know i can contribute even more after my maternity leave.
the organization and my colleagues are suitable for me.
november was the month when i gave birth to a baby girl named Mishel Aairah.
after 4 trips to the hospital for false alarms (contractions, water bag leaking),
i was induced on the 28 november because she was overdue.
it was a tough labor having to spend 20 hours without food and eventually i had an emergency c-sect.
the labor pains were something that i couldn't forget.
thankfully my husband was beside me to encourage and help me through.
i am grateful for the gem that the Almighty bestowed my husband and i with.
last but not least, december was when i turned 25.
a quarter of a century and the husband surprised me with a few gifts.
it was the first time spending my birthday with my husband and daughter.
it hasn't been all pleasant events in 2011.
i experienced loss as well,
the passing of my husband's aunt whom i was close with.
she will always be remembered.
and my husband and i also didn't get what we wanted,
like a flat unit after several tries.
even though we had some hard times,
we never despair.
overall, 2011 is a lovely year despite the pregnancy discomfort.
=)
syukur alhamdulillah!
all thanks to the Almighty!
2012 will be filled with challenges and pleasant surprises.
insya'Allah i know i will be alright.
happy new year!
may 2012 brings you more love, laughter and lessons in your life!
