The meaning of name.


Every parents want to name their baby as wonderful as they can. In certain ways, it has to be a name closed to their heart or unique or means something great. It took us a long time to think a name for our son. As far as I recalled we bought a book of Islamic's names but I think we never once open the book . For some reasons, we knew that the name will come in some ways without us looking for it.

It just did! During one of Zetty's regular baby scan, Andika's legs were really muscly and straight away I said he is a warrior (just like his great great grandfather; Panglima Ali of Kedah). Then, the name Andika spilled out. Zetty gave the name Raees to compliment Andika as Chief Warrior.

I remembered the first time his Tok heard his name, he said to Andika to live up to his name and I bet he will.

Our bundle of joy.

Our first born, Raees Andika Bin Mohd Hefni, arrived on Friday, 22 April 2011, 16:39 at Royal United Hospital, Bath, UK.

Alhamdulillah. Andika is truly our bundle of joy. He is five weeks old today and we really love him so much. Andika was over due for 10 days.
After almost 26 hours since the start of the first contraction, he was born. I couldn't believe it then and I am still amazed every time I see him. We are blessed with one cutie little boy. Unfortunately, tokwan and tok mak Andika had to go home before they can't see him as they came wee bit earlier. Luckily, Andika's tok and nanny were there.

Zetty is still in confinement though we already went out twice now! Never mind that, as long as we are concerned with her health and well being than I think she is fine. She hasn't got any major stitches but still we need to be careful about that.


Anyway, there you go I am a father now and it's truly a life changing experience and I will leave you guys with a video I made for Zetty's first Mother's Day!
