I think I spent more on my sister than my nephew when it comes to filling the Baby Care box. Love her loads.

Things I bought for my sister;

• Loads of parenting magazines
• Milk booster formula
• Nipple pad
• Breast Milk Storage Bags
• A new headscarf
• Nursing pillow

The new nephew

• A newborn set of clothes, caps and mitten (kinda like.. thats it)
• Mini shoes
• Angpow for Tabung Haji

The infants big brother

• TOBOT pyjamas
• A set of dayclothes
• A colouring and activity book featuring BOboiBoy

One can become a mother to say, 7 children but in truth every pregnancy and birth is different with every little munchkin that comes with it. My younger sister experienced another failed induction of labor – so on top of contraction pains, she also had to endure the postoperative pain of her Cesarean section. She also had a hilarious embarrassing moment with a male House Officer (HO).. ha ha.

Since we live a few states away, I could only manage some intense dua and ‘acts of deeds’ on her name and my sister in laws name ( who is also expecting a baby in the same week) … hoping that Allah will reward these deeds or Sedeqah by bestowing upon them His Blessings with a smooth and safe delivery.

Alhamdulilah.. my two ladies pulled through.
