Few weeks since I last wrote. I'm not sure if I'm still having any readers here LOL! Haikal is turning 8 months in a week time and my last post was a few days after his 7th. Still trying my best to beat the 'procrastinator' out of the already lazy me.
It's May, and we have a hectic week (or weeks) ahead of us! Dearest sister's wedding is coming up next week, which will then be followed with a cousin's. You know how weddings are in Brunei, with all those malam berjaga-jaga and stuff, we're all going to be like Zombies at work.
Anyway, today's post is intended to announce not those weddings but another great news. I'm now carrying #2! As much as we wanted to wait for Haikal to at least turn 1, we did think of having another one before we both turn 30. Alhamdulillah. And despite being pregnant now, I somehow manage to continue breastfeeding Haikal and express the same usual amount everyday. I think I'll just let him wean off naturally.
Now, though it has always been a concern among pregnant mothers whether they should continue nursing their babies, I personally think it depends solely on the mother's condition. I've read up on Kellymom and it is emphasized that breastfeeding & being pregnant shouldn't be harmful in most cases. And after seeking advice from the midwives at the clinic, who told me that it really is up to me, I'm adamant to continue breastfeeding. Anyway, I just have to. I return home on most days with engorged Bs and can't help but pump them! It is a bit weird though because (scientifically) I shouldn't be producing as much now that I have the pregnant hormones. And one more thing, I'm unsure of how far along I am in this pregnancy as I hadn't had my period back after delivery. I can't wait to get the ultrasound done to see how the bun is baking inside :)
