New Addition To The Family

Becoming a mother holds great responsibilities. This, in a nutshell, was Tiara Damansara’s Administrative Assistant Puan Salmah Ahmad's view after becoming a first time mother on Nov. 7th, 2006.

Her newborn son, Adam Faris, arrived on the afternoon of the day Salmahwas admitted to Universiti Hospital. Born at 1.22 pm, he weighed 3.224 kilos. Adam arrived earlier than expected since his mother had scheduled her three-month maternity leave from Nov.14th onwards.

And how does the new mother, who is resting in her home at Kg. Jimah Lama, Siliau, Negri Sembilan, after her discharge the day after Adam was born, feel?

"I feel great and happy. But I also feel a great sense of responsibility, now that I am a mother," she said over the handphone.

With her mother helping out, she said that she was not allowed to take certain seafood items,like the sting ray, cat fish or any other fish which were believed to cause itching. Neither would she take any "cooling" vegetables during the 40-day confinement period.

Meantime, take a well earned rest and enjoy the newborn. We wish you and your husband, Hairi bin Danin, great happiness with baby Adam.
