This blog is so BORING!

Eww man.. this blog is so damn boring! I've been updating my multiply, but fails to update this blogger blog of mine. So yeah.. call me goblok (haha.. just can't resist, blogger, blog, goblok!!)!

Anyway.. pls click HERE for updates on my life.

Well.. the news is, I have given birth to Haryz Aiman on 31st Jul 2007. After 2 months of maternity leave, I'll be going back to work this coming Monday, 1st Oct 2007.

This Ramadan has been so different with Haryz in my life. With him being so young, it leaves me no time to make much preparations. So this year, no baking of cookies.. no cooking of Hari Raya dishes.. no shopping for curtains and what nots.. However, what there will be is Hari Raya with my darling baby.. his first baju kurung.. our family decked in orange... my shorter hair (as compared to previous years... and erm.. can't think of anything else at the moment!

Ok.. Whatever I want to say have been mentioned in my multiply already. What I can do though, is to leave you with some recent photos of Haryz.

Ok.. ok.. I also promise to blog here whenever I write an entry in my multiply ok! I frankly dunno how other people managed to keep 2 accounts or more! G'nite!

My Birthday and The Final Month

My birthday this year went by without much fanfare. We booked a chalet at Downtown East for 3 days 2 nights for the weekend. Basically, just a short getaway cum gathering for the families.

We had bbq-ed food for 2 nights in a row, and I was most satisfied that I finally got to eat my bbq-ed jagung (corn)! It was also relaxing cos I didn't have to do much except laze around and eat. haha! It was nice. The kids had fun when we brought them to Explorerkids and Wild Wild Wet. And when they're happy, I'm happy too. I felt very much at bliss... the family was having fun, hubby was nice and helpful, no stress from work, it was all a girl could ask for!

Although we didn't take much photos, Darn..!! I just realised that my camera's at home. I won't be able to upload photos after all. Heehee... Dunno why, but taking photos are becoming such a chore to me. I hate having my photos taken, and its taken a turn for the worse eversince I got pregnant. So, the photos gotta wait k. Will try to do it over the weekends, if I got time in between laundry and packing my baby's things.

I am officially in my 37th week now. That is, I've been pregnant for 36 weeks and 1 day according to my doctor's calculations. Other than the terrible heat and my aching back which often causes difficulty in getting up, walking and etc.. I dun have much complaints. The baby's kicks are getting stronger each day, letting me know without fail just how excited he is to seeing the world.

I'm seeing the doctor again tomorrow. Finally, my visits have been increased to 2-3 weeks gaps instead of the usual 4 weeks. I'm a bit concerned cos the doctor has been warning me since the last 2-3 visits now that the baby is growing too fast and may be too big for a natural delivery. Aaarggh! Its giving me such a pressure. I want to eat well for my baby to get his nutrients, but yet I must cut down so that it'll be easier for me during childbirth. Having a big sized baby increases the chances of C-sect. My mom herself has been through 3 caesarian births, but of course, which woman doesn't hope to do it naturally and less pain please! Hubby keeps telling me to have faith in God, as he'll only want the best for us. But that can't stop me from worrying, see?

On the other hand, we have been doing some shopping over the last month and bought all the baby clothes and bottles and what-nots. I've yet to get the big items though. Will depend on its necessity when the time actually comes. Nowadays, I have been chasing hubby to get those plastic drawers so that I can finally pack the baby's stuff in. For now, the items are all lying around our room in their plastic bags still. I must also really get down to packing my hospital bag in case The Day comes earlier than expected =)

Nowadays, there so many things to do and not to do! Grandma got me air zam-zam to drink and MIL got me another dunno-wat drink to make birth easier. Hubby has been encouraging me to take coconut drinks as per advice from friends and relatives. Then there's also the tradition of drinking hot milo + 2 eggs the moment I feel that I'm in labour (for strength). MIL has been reminding me to wear bedroom slippers at home to keep myself warm. She doesn't know I need the fan blasting at me before I can sleep at night, heehee!!

Then, there's the constant worry about work. To train my temp staff to take over me. To clear up my desk with items I wanna bring homw. To bring home the MacLaren pram that my boss gave me (its been under my desk for 3 months now!). To settle my leave and paperwork stuff with HR before I go... and all this with the worry that I may give birth anytime soon!

And aside from all this, I am forever asking myself, have I got all the necessities? Have I got everything covered? Did I buy this, and do I need to buy this? There's so much things on my mind! Dun be surprised if I ever walk past any of you and not see or recognize u straight away.

Wow.. ok! This blog has been long enough. God knows when I'll blog again. Probably by then, I would have been a certified mom and will have another set of worries altogether. But until the time comes, do me a favour will ya? Pray for me. Cos I'm scared stiff of wats going to happen...

Phuket and my 3rd trimester

Hiya all!

I better update today.. people have been complaining about me not updating. But photos still gotta wait ok! I've no patience for that as yet.

The trip to Phuket was uneventful. It was fun and restful. I got to shop and fulfil my cravings for Green Thai Curry. However, the trip wasnt as fun as previous holidays as I wasn't able to (likely also that I didnt have the mood to) join in the fun and activities.

The group went on an ATV and Go-Cart ride.. but I had to skip that cos hubby was worried that it may be too rough for me. We went to the beach but I was only able to watch cos of my sensitive skin (always tend to get rashes whenever I swim, so I swore off the sea or the pool). They went partying but I left halfway cos I was worried the loud music is not good for the baby. And for Songkran, they played with water, but I didnt cos I was worried that I might fall while running around.

But it gave me time to enjoy the aircon in the room, watch Star Movies and HBO... went shopping for souvenirs.. ate thai food, pizza and subway... Gave me time to spend with hubby in a relaxed environment. Oklah.. I definitely want to go again some other time.

Today is the day I officially step into the 3rd and last trimester. Only 12 more weeks to go before I become a mother! The second trimester wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. The back ache, the heat, the aches and pains I go through walking, sleeping and basically doing anything whatsoever can be taxing on me. Many a times I spend the night staring at the clock, willing it to go faster so that morning will come. In the morning, I am always tired and zombie-like.... debating with myself whether or not to go to work.

And the thing is, people tell me the worst is yet to come! My goodness! God, please give me strength to go through all this.

Hubby has been great. Frankly, I dunno if I could go through all this without his support. I can't say that he has been helpful with the housework, or is diligently massaging my back daily to ease my pain. But what he has done is to give me more space on the bed to make me comfortable. Taking me all around Singapore at the slightest sign or mention of a craving. He's been more patient with me, giving in to me when I least expect it.. and is very diligent in accompanying me for all my check ups and what nots.

Late at night when I'm asleep, he touches my tummy, hoping for any movement from the babe. And I can hear his chukles when the baby finally decides to acknowledge with a kick. It touches my heart.. so much!

So this trimester is going to be busy. We have to start buying the necessities, and we also have to do some major shifting to make way for the baby. This couple of months, hubby and I will also be attending some union functions that will take away some weekends. Then there's the various family and friends activities like birthdays and chalets, baby's full month party for a friend... whoa, I hope I have the strength for all this.

Ok. Enough about me already. Just wanna tell you guys that Spiderman 3 is out! Go catch it soon! I know I have.. keekee!
