Mommy is back to work!

Well, it’s been 2 weeks already I’m back to work again (and sadly left the two kids back at home, whuaaaa….. LOL) Since baby Q was born, I quit from work and becoming a full time mommy. At the time baby Q still very little and still exclusively breastfeeding, I never thinking to start working again. Correction, I can not think to start working again, while there’s a little baby that depend all of her life to me twenty six hours. Of course, sometimes there’s a little help from my mother or my hubby when the busy time come. At that time, I always wishing, please God, cloning me…

Now, back to the office story.

After baby Q graduated from ASIX, there’s a desire to work again. The income is not suitable with the needed for the family, especially after baby Q start her MP-ASI, we need more food in the kitchen hehehehe

Then sometime in the afternoon, when I was singing a lullaby for baby Q, one of the boss in my ex-company call me. Surprisingly, he interviewed me then invite me to come to the office for another negotiation on the next day with the personnel manager. I request a two weeks notice to hand over the internal work with my mother and if lucky, to find a maid. Though I am not lucky since the maid only stay for 2 days L . In fact, my mother enjoyed doing everything by her own, for her the maid is only bothering her.

So far, alhamdulillah, everything is ok back at home. My mother could handle the two kids. She has trouble only when the nap time coming. Daffa could not sleep first before baby Q sleep, while it is quite difficult. We owe so much to my mother. I know we can not pay her by anything, but I wish I can make her more happier.

Previously I handle a project at the office, but besides handle a project, I also responsible for the administration in the Engineering Departement which is the largest division at the office (I should re-negotiate for the salary nih.. J ).

My working hours is from 8 to 5, I already remind my boss that I refuse to work over time. It’s a big No, it will make my mother work more longer with the kids.

However, I’ve been waiting for this job, me and my family need this job, correction, we need more income (who doesn’t?). For Daffa, mommy back to work is mean mommy can buy him more toys (ehh??) For baby Q, mommy back to work is mean… well this is her first experience without mommy, first experience to stop breastfeeding during the day, first experience to take a day nap only with her brother, hehehehhhh first experience for everything. For my mom, me back to work is mean everything that she wish for, eventhough it will make her to take care of my kids without any complain, she is more happy to see me go to the office than stay at home. For my kind hubby, it will mean a good news for a backup if he is running out of money hehehehhee…. Oh well, everything is automatically is changes now. But basically me and everybody in the house are happy about this.

Now, I'll leave you with the pic of my recent activity....

MPAS 10 bulannya baby Q - Berpetualang dengan susu formula

Yup! Masuk ke usia 10 bulan, akhirnya baby Q harus menyerah dengan tidak hanya tergantung sm ASI ajah, tapi jg harus mulai nyobain susu formula. Hiks... Kebetulan pas masuk 10 bulan ini nafsu makannya baby Q tiba2 turun lagi. Menu sayur bening yg tadinya jd favoritnya, palingan cuma dimakan sekitar 4-5 sendok ajah, abis itu kebanyakan tutup mulutnya. Akhirnya drpd kelaparan, baby Q disuapin nasi putih ajah (tanpa lauk), atau roti tawar, atau biskuit. Baby Q juga tau2 batuk pilek gituh, kayaknya sih ketularan si kakak Daffa nih yg habis main hujan2an di sekolah trus pulang2 bawa virus batuk pilek (don't do it again ya Kak..). Msh bagus berat badannya gak turun, tapi tetap stabil di angka 9 kg sejak bukan ke-9 kemaren. Tapi menurut dokter bentar lagi bisa underweight dan bisa kekurangan vitamin. Dokter pun menyarankan utk ditambah dgn sufor aja makannya, toh udh 10 bulan dan udh gak harus ASI ajah, krn kemungkinan ASI-nya ibu udh gak cukup lagi buat babay Q (pdhal baby Q selalu puas koq dgn ASI ibu, gak pernah tuh nangis2 kelaperan *pembelaandiri*).

Tapi gak ada salahnya lah qta cobain saran pak dokter Soenanto ituh. Mulailah besokannya qta cari sufor yg kira2 cocok buat baby Q. Cuman knp ya semua sufor buat baby di bawah 1 tahun koq kemasannya selalu dlm karton gede, pdhal kan qta baru mo coba dulu. Udh gitu mana harganya mahal2 pula lagi. Setelah tengok2 semua merk sufor, pilihan ibu jatuh ke Bebelac, alasannya krn kandungan lemak di sufor Bebelac paling tinggi dibanding yg lain, scr ibu kan pengen ngejar ketertinggalan berat badannya baby Q. Kalo soal rasa, semua sufor rasanya plain, gak pake gula.

Daaannnn pas dicobain ke baby Q, langsung ajah ditolak mentah2 ya tuh susu hueehehehehe,,,, Super bingung lah jdnya. Salah juga sih nyobainnya langsung pake dot, mungkin harusnya disendokin dulu. Soale itu dot akhirnya cuman digigit2 aja sama baby Q, sampe qta kira mungkin baby Q gak bisa ngedot, alias bingung puting, krn kelamaan nyusu ASI. Oke, coba deh pake sendok, eh tetep ya dia gak mau. Coba lagi pake sippy cup, hasilnya teuteup gak mau. Qta coba ganti isi botol susunya dgn air putih, eh dia mau aja tuh ngedot. Nah ketauan kan masalahnya, baby Q itu bukannya gak bisa pake dot, tapi emang dia aja yg gak suka sama sufor-nya. Okeh lah, ganti merk sufor lain yg kira2 lebih enak. Langsung deh diutus si Bapak utk cari sufor merk apa aja (selain Bebelac ofkors) yg kemasannya lebih kecil atau paling kecil. Ada tuh sufor ChilMil, kesamannya paling kecil diantara sufor yg lain. Dgn penuh semangat dicobain deh tuh ke baby Q, hasilnya teteeeppp lagi2 ditolak. Aduh beib, gmn mau naik bb kamu kalo kamu gak mau makan dan minum susu ginih.. *ibumulaipusing*

Tapi ibu gak mau nyerah dunk. Setiap hari dicobain terus tuh kedua sufor ke baby Q, yg kebanyakan kebuang percuma. Tapi gpp, demi perkenalan. Sempet jg selama satu minggu ibu brenti sama sekali nyobain sufor tsb ke baby Q, kali aja dia lupa qiqiqiqiqii... Trus pas dicobain lagi, lumayan mau deh dia minum 2-3 sendok, tapi tetep gak mau pake botol susu. *bersyukur belum beli botol susu banyak2* Alhamdulillah skrg udh mulai suka tuh dia sama sufor, biarpun nih tangan pegel2 dan kesemutan krn kudu ngegendong sambil nyuapin, tapi gpp, yg penting at least satu sendok takar sufor sehari udh mau diminum sama baby Q.

Dan akhirnya solusi mengenai makannya baby Q terjawab. Gak tau knp Sabtu pagi itu ibu males banget bangun pagi utk bikinin baby Q lauk pauknya, dlm hati kepikiran paling2 ntar bakalan kebuang lagi kyk kmrn2. Tapi setelah bolak balik peluk guling2 dan snooze si alarm yg tiap 5 menit bunyi lagi itu, akhirnya diseret jg nih kaki keluar kamar trus ke dapur. And out of nowhere, Oma bilang kalo dia udh nyiapin sayur utk baby Q. Menu baru yg disederhanain dari sop kaldunya kakak Daffa. Isi lauknya sama persis sama kayak sopnya kakak Daffa, tapi yg ini gak pake garam. Wah seneng banget, makasih ya Oma. Alhamdulillah, baby Q langsung menyantap habis makannya pas pake sayur ini. Oooohhh, berarti kmrn2 dia tuh bosen sama sayur bening, buktinya pas dikasih sayur kaldu langsung mau tuh. Dan sayur bening itupun jadi penyelamat utk menu makannya baby Q (moga2 gak cuma utk sementara)

Selain itu ibu juga udah ngenalin puding dan oatmeal. Pudingnya dibikin dari beras merah, dikasih pisang & agar2 bubuk plain, trus disiram saus apel. Wuih, rasanya gmn? Aneh! Jujur aja orang normal gak akan suka. Tapiii tnyata baby Q suka tuh, lahap bener malahan. Trus perkedelnya biking dari oatmeal dicampur sayuran dan ayam/daging. Hasilnya? Baby Q lebih seneng ngejadiin perkedel itu as finger food, tapi pas dimakan pake nasi dia suka juga sih.


Kalo buah2an baby Q udah say goodbye ama blender hehehe...anak pinter. Kecuali apel ya krn masih keras biarpun udah direbus or dikukus, jd tetep harus diblender biarpun blender kasar. Kalo buah yg lain gak perlu dihalusin lagi. Alhamdulillah, so far milestone food-nya baby Q udah ngelewatin standar bayi, hehehe,,, guuud beib...
