my hubby and baby

been a while since i last posted anything... well what dya know? i've been lazying around counting used baby zaim's diapers. he's grown big by the way....and handsome too.just like his dad! and dont get me started on my hubby... one handsome devil!!
hehhe

oki... laters

God's gift to us

Our lil padawan came into this world on the 20th hour, 15 minutes before the clock striked 9pm. His eyes opened wide to welcome both daddy and mummy who had anxiously waited for 2 days for his arrival.

Mummy had been in labour since Saturday, in the wee mornings of an otherwise pleasant stay at Lagong, at padawan's Atok's place. She had cramps the entire night, but didn't think much of it. Probably just the baby trying to "dig" its way out of the comforts of his holiday home. Anytime soon.. but not just yet.

Ah but there was a surprise for mummy that morning. A showing. And after a showing like that, the doctor had adviced that we seek medical attention, just incase.

But Ayah being Ayah, decided to run errands first. Probably nothing, considering that it really isn't like we were going to "beranak" any time soon.Mama although concerned, thought that perhaps Ayah was right. And if it was anything serious, Mama can always give him the "I told you so!" speech. heheh.

We went to our printers, settled a client's order and went our way to the hospital. Unfortunately it was the doc's half day and we were about 2 hours too late. Tis ok.
We can nevertheless drop in and have a CTG scan...whatever that means.

3 weeks countdown

It looks like its going to pour hard right now. Thunder is announcing its arrival. No droplets yet. Just drumrolls.

3 weeks before we become parents, Insya Allah. 3 weeks before we get to hold our baby, who like thunder has affirmed his presence by kicking and punching in what lil space he's left with.

I feel terribly heavy- its difficult to get up these days, I get very warm at night but the fiesty baby somehow comforts me. I've tried to capture belly movements on camera, but it does seem as if he knows whats on his mama's mind. He keeps mostly silent when the camera's on, and kung-fus non stop the moment i put it down. Camera shy eh lil one?

Gosh! Has it been that long!

Goodness gracious.. great balls of fire? Has it been that long? Have 1 month and a bit come and gone?

if I was big when I was 10 wks pregnant.. check me out now!!!Sigh. now I really can't fit in my clothes and I miss my jeans so very much. I look so very the selekeh these days, and if not for Nina's wedding, wouldn't have bothered with dressing up.

And to think... Nina's nikah and reception too, is finally over and done with. Alhamdulillah. Ah but hold on, we have two more receptions to go to, one being at Dad's place. Shooterama, I have to finish doing up the flowers, the lanterns and the butterflies! *Panic button engaged*

Nina's wedding has been a lot more stressful than anticipated. Things just seemed to have gone wrong since that morning. Hotel service and assistance came in the shape of long breaks and disappearances by its staff. Thank you cards went missing - which made ME terribly pissed and really disappointed at myself for not ensuring that there were enough for everybody. The musicians stopped halfway through the reception for a break to put on some crap pipe music. And last but not least, the icing of the cake came in the form of last minute cancellations by our "esteemed" guest of honours who were suppose to sit on the main table.

But all in all, despite the many heart breaks and madness, the wedding proceedings went smoothly, as far as everybody else was concerned.

We were glad that our guests had been pleased.

To be continued..

Hot damn it... i can't fit into me clothes no more!

Is it good or is it bad to have your clothes cramp in on you and decide, thats it, you are not wearing us any longer?

You would have thought that after many puking sessions would allow u the liberty of wearing the most fashionable skintightfitting clothes ever... but alas..with pregnancy.. comes the bulge.Or so I found out in merely 10 weeks.

Here I am then. Miss Bulge 2006.

But I'm happy...of course I am. My baby's heart was seen.. and I have continued to see after every scan, before every weekly jab on my cheeks, the round plush ones not on my visage. I've been made to stop travelling, let alone drive. I just hope I don't go through this another semester or I might just hold it against my poor innocent baby and tell him as he grows older, that he owes me big time for all the suffering I had to bear as I carried him.

Yes, but despite it all, I am rather genuinely happy. I'll get new clothes! Hurrah..
I don't have to help my do-it-all husband with the painting of our new abode but instead watch him carry out activities homemakers only fantasize about (hot bod mopping, hot bod drilling, ... wooohoooo, my very own hairy hot bod!), to carry the lovely wedding pressies from 3 houses all over the Klang Valley. I'll miss out on all the cleaning, the cooking. You see, I'll just enjoy my being alone every single day, with the hours to myself, reading, and enjoying the best thing in life. Sleep.

MUAHAHAHAHHA

Sigh... and yes, all work left to the backburners of unproductivity. Avoiding the calls of anxious partners, and customers. Not exactly luxurious.

still I sigh.

still I'm bored, even with the tinge of pain i get once in a while as my uterus grows bigger to accommodate the growth of the baby. A but the baby is only a mere 2 peanuts. But its getting there i guess.

Wish it'll only let me enjoy my salmon and steaks!

Well then, the journey continues

Dear Blog,

Its been a long time since I last wrote, and I do apologise. A lot have been happening, namely the fact that :

a. my sudden nausea and need to go to the loo was erased rather sadly within weeks of finding out I was indeed preggies and not loony. It was rather hard at the beginning, what with the anticipation and the hope of the normal development of a baby, shattered only by the deafening silence of a heartbeat no longer beating. Oh well. I have recovered, don't worry.

My plans to twisting the arm of my dear husband for a fast-track baby making process did not unfortunately materialise, but my dear Blog, I am once again loony. Ops.. I meant pregnant! Hurrah! Am in my seventh week now so we're again anxious to see our baby's heartbeat. Pray for us!

so really, my affair with nausea, isn't really over. Fact is, its become worse. I'm weak by mid-day and pleasure from my usual loony affairs, like watching tv, surfing the net, book reading and occasional work has turned into mishedmashed nightmares of meals taken for the day. I feel rather useless and utterly unproductive, but I guess its my body's way of telling me to rest for whats coming.


b. We've been travelling Malaysia, taking off for weeks and days at a time between states for our SYOB programme, hopefully teaching a thing or two about how to start your own business. We've gone to Sabah twice, once for our 2nd Honeymoon the second for work. We've been to Kuching and Ipoh for our followup meetings with prospective entrepreneurs and we're pretty much knackered everytime.

c. Refer to a

d.A lot of things have happened business wise.. so u must understand. My card business just launched with a couple of weddings, and am pressed for time. There always seems to be something to solve and problems that really don't need to happen.
My printers seem to like giving me lil hard attacks once a while, forgetting to do the lil things that could prove to become really big. Remind me to buy them a special diary just for the jobs I give them. with special pictures to go along while I am at it.

Sigh sigh sigh...

I need a cuppa... I see huge nausea wall coming close to hit me on my face.

Nini

the attack of the HCG

its started with a mild throb.. near the pelvic area. Oh,its probably nothing.

then, the toilet breaks grew more frequent, much to my hubby's annoyance. Keluar rumah, must kench, move the carpet.. oh hold up, must go to the loo. Basically, my favourite place in the entire world, for this month has been the loo.

Ah but the throbbing grew more pronounced, and I was feeling a tad frightened for whatever organs that were affected inside. Ah.. its nothing really.

" Tak tahu lah.. sakit skit kat sini. Right here.. to the left.. near my hip bones" I told my learned in-laws, fine doctors courtesy of my husbands family.There were a few speculative causes,nothing definite although most of them definitely scary sounding.. had to go through a much thorough check u see. And so, I continued my jumping up and downs of aerobics and mini basketball sessions with the very younguns of Kuantan.

But then.. I got real queasy. The world was blur and dizzy. It was moving around in circles, confusing me. Was I the only one feeling this way? Good food and platters on the table were no longer a feast to me. My friend the Loo, was a constant companion as I regurgitated food from my belly, the last dinner. Food poisoning perhaps?

AWFUL feeling. Dizzy, nauseous and not a clue to what was happening to me.
