Dear Aleesya...

Dear Aleesya, our precious princess,

It's been 7 trying months since Mummy and Bapak are patiently awaiting your arrival. We have been through hell and back again. There were many ups and downs, and Alhamdulillah, God showed us that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for all our worries…. And that light is you!

With your growing cuteness and rapid development in Mummy’s tummy, Bapak and Mummy are always ecstatic when you give Mummy a kick, a punch, a tickle, a whirl, a nudge or any form of movement you choose to deliver. During the times when Mummy would turn on her favourite music, tune to the mp3 Al-Quran, or when Bapak sings to you over Mummy’s rounded belly, you would be doing flips and flops! Mummy hopes they are of joy or happiness… Because we noticed that you are most responsive to music and sounds… truly you are your father’s daughter. J

Aleesya darling,

We have two more months before we finally meet you. Truthfully, Mummy always grieved to Bapak that Mummy is nervous about meeting you for the first time. Mummy has waited for you all her life, and to finally meet you will probably be nerve-wrecking to her. So we are occupying ourselves with the preparation of your arrival. Things are a bit hectic and tough outside the comfort of your warm cocoon, but we are managing it. Bapak is a real trooper, and he is the pillar of Mummy’s strength, apart from God Almighty. Mummy would have crumbled without him. You will love Bapak immensely, and Mummy knows you will be proud of him as he will never let any harm come to you and Mummy.

My precious Aleesya,

We are so excited and anxious to meet you next month that we have been listing your essentials over and over again. Mummy finally got some professional help (from her friends who are moms!) and has the perfect list already. We are going shopping tonight or tomorrow night, and we are most happy…

Aleesya sayang,

Please pray along with Bapak and Mummy that the last two months are uneventful. Mummy promises that Mummy will take the utmost care in ensuring you are healthy until Uncle Kamal helps deliver you into the world. Bapak also promises that he will do his best making sure his two girls are doing great. Yes, Mummy has a hard time sleeping and constantly gets back and tummy pains, but Mummy knows it will all be worth it when we finally see you.

This is only the beginning of our lifelong adventure together, and with the guidance from Allah SWT, Bapak and Mummy promise to try our best in making our princess’ life a happy one.

We love you, darling…  


Lots of love,
Bapak and Mummy
