Hi, its has been a while since my last posting.Today is my 15 day after delivery and every mother should know that the whole delivery process( especially nursing the baby and nursing ourselves during confinement) are the most tiring process and drag a lot of energy and time. My 4th baby was delivered through an elective c-section on the 10th of june ( the date was my hubby's choice) . we have to schedule the operation since after the 38th weeks the baby was still in breech position and there's no chance for the position to be changed. the head was stuck near my heart causing all the heart burn and gastric through out the pregnancy. so there she is , now 15 days old, sleeping peacefully on my bed now( i think she prefer my bed rather than her baby cot)I planned for 4 kids... :-) ..But it never cross my mind that i will have a standard package of 4 girls and no boy at all. well... think about it... 2 or 3 girls are still normal but 4 hehehe ? i came to know that i was carrying another baby girl at 6 months...the first thought that came into my mind when the doctor said , confirmed it's a girl was ...wow... i'll never know the experience of raising a boy anymore...but apart from that, everything was still as exciting as before. we enjoy doing all the shopping for the little folk ( since the gap between the third and this one is more than 5 years, many things have to be bought again) the baby cot, carrier stroller and all sort of things. we anciously waiting for the day when we'll meet her face to face
Berkenaan anak perempuan:
مَنِ ابْتُلِيَ مِنَ الْبَنَاتِ بِشَيْءٍ، فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ، كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ
“Barangsiapa yg diuji dgn anak perempuan kemudian ia berbuat baik pada mereka mk mereka akan menjadi penghalang bagi dari api neraka.”
Dalam riwayat dari Anas bin Malik radhiyallahu ‘anhu Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam juga menyebutkan kedekatan dgn orang tua yg memelihara anak-anak perempuan mereka dgn baik kelak pada hari kiamat:
مَنْ عَالَ جَارِيَتَيْنِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَا وَهُوَ -وَضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ-
“Barangsiapa yg mencukupi keperluan dan mendidik dua anak perempuan hingga mereka dewasa maka dia akan datang pada hari kiamat nanti dlm keadaan aku dan dia ” dan beliau mengumpulkan jari jemarinya.
Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda:
مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ ثَلاَثُ بَنَاتٍ، فَصَبَرَ عَلَيْهِنَّ، وَأَطْعَمَهُنَّ، وَسَقَاهُنَّ، وَكَسَاهُنَّ مِنْ جِدَتِهِ، كُنَّ لَهُ حِجَابًا مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ
“Barangsiapa yg memiliki tiga orang anak perempuan lalu dia bersabar atas mereka memberi mereka makan minum dan pakaian dari harta mk mereka menjadi penghalang bagi dari api neraka kelak pada hari kiamat.”
well..apart from some ups and downs during confinement,some baby blues for the first week, difficulty to move due to operation wound, hormone inbalance and nobody to help with the baby during weekdays...having another girl is not bad ..AT ALL. And
Thank You Allah, For the greatest gift of all.
