15 weeks

Yesterday (12.7.2010) was my check up .. based on my last menses date ie 28.3.2010 ... am now in my 15th week of pregnancy... technically just left the first trimester ... entering into hopefully (like previous pregnancy with Emir) renewed energy and Insya Allah would be able to perform and complete my fast in the month of Ramadhan... Insya Allah...

Result of check up was that ... despite being in my 15th week, the size of tummy indicates that baby is growing well and from the look of the size of the same baby could well be in the 17th-18th week of age.

Felt like crying when I heard what Dr Azizah said cause I have been worried that baby is not getting enough from me due to me losing weight and the vomitting and headache ... Alhamdulillah... in fact I felt so proud of baby and felt that baby is being such a good baby to mummy and daddy by elevating mummy and daddy's worries by growing up well above the supposed weekly gestation.

Actually I was kind of disappointed that there was no scan done on baby cause at this stage Dr Azizah said there wouldnt be much analysis can be done based on scan and hence she only did the check up on the heart beat.

I did a blood test afterwards ... I soooo dont like needles!!!! Brought me back memories when needles were poking my son's feet during him having jaundice... so kesian... I am adamant that second baby will not have to go through that at all... mummy will make sure you are breast fed well ok ok

But am looking forward to my next check up which would be on the 9.8.2010 ... Do pray that baby will fine... First baby... second baby ... the worries are all the same ... and who ever says that you would love your child differently is just that ... a whole lot of talk ...

Anyways, will update you soonest!

Note: Since we manage to clear the check up early by turning up during lunch hour ... we were the second in line ... we picked Emir earlier from the nursery and later went to Pustaka and fed fish!! He had a fun fun time there!!!

But mummy had a few vomitting sessions thou on the way/coming back from PUSTAKA ... and Emir said "mummy nangis" (mummy's crying) when he saw tears (due to vomitting/not crying) ... Note to self: gotta always keep plastic bag in the car!!

Fun weekend for Emir

Erwin's parents' house is like a stone throw away from our place... it'll basically takes us less than 5 mins to go over and it's been a while since we last "berambeh" (have a sleep over) at their place and so somehow last weekend we manage to find the time/energy to pack and stay over ...

Erwin and I got to talking and tried to remember the last time we have a berambeh... apparently it has been 1 1/2 year ago since we had to stay over at the place when our place was flooded ... my in law's house became a temporary flood shelter for us ...

Now that my mother in law is busy with their kedai makan ... which means there wouldnt be anyone at the house until late at night and the only time the shop is closed is on a Saturday. So we packed our bags etc etc (looked like we were going to stay for one whole week there with the things I have packed) ... got there Friday night and slept over ...

Emir had sooooo much fun esp playing with his grandparents and his cousin...

... he slept late ... woke up late .... jumped up and down ...

... and we even manage to slot in "swimming time" ...

(Note: pic of Emir WITHOUT diaper)

... oh ya, we're in the midst of potty training him while waiting for his sis/bro's arrival Insya Allah either end of Dec, 2010 or early Jan, 2011... and we manage to do it ONCE! Yeay! ... well after that he peed on grandma's couch...

... luckily my vomitting wasnt that bad ... otherwise I'd scared everyone in the house with the endless agonising sound of vomitting ...

All in all it was a succesful berambeh for us and of course ... the most important part ... FUN WEEKEND for Emir ...

Insya Allah ... there will be more berambeh session

Anyways take care peeps

Snippets ... here and there

Hi peeps... it's been a long whirlwind of adventure in my world... busy with cupcakes and family etc etc and since then my adamant determination to update my blog (which also acts as a life journal for me) somehow was put to a halt... well, am back... so here it is ... snippets of here and there ...

Cupcakes

They have been a wonderful chapter in my life ... creating new designs for various functions ... not only that it is a wonderful second source of income but then ... what a fulfillment when I manage to deliver each and every order of MyCupcakes' customers.

But ... at this stage it has to be put on hold cause ... there is something else baking in the over and it's not cupcakes hehehe

EMIR

My boy is now 2years5months and growing up beautifully .... he's getting more conversant now.. learning new words... and my love is endless for him ... thou he does get on mummy's nerve once in a while =)

Still hooked on Ultraman ... but after watching TOY STORY 3 with us .. he seems to be taken with BUZZ .... by the way he watched the whole movie .. but fell asleep during the last 10mins or so of the movie... mummy and daddy so proud of you ... which means we can plan the next movie trip ... DESPICABLE ME Yeay!!

MORNING SICKNESS

This time around ... it should be called ALL DAY sickness ... the constant nausea and vomitting really wears me out ... not too mention the splitting headaches... and the worst part would be the car sickness after I travel from home to work and vice versa...

I know it is part and parcel of the whole process ... I am not complaining and finding ways to minimise the effects ... but on days it just doesnt do much... I do miss my old active self... luckily reading literature like "What to expect ... " does help and very reassuring when it says ... it is normal to feel as such and that it is OK to not do and complete housechores... and am the luckiest having the most understanding hubby in the world... Emir doesnt have much use of me... so long as daddy is around to care for him ... so in that sense atleast I dont feel I am neglecting him much while I lie down and wait for my headache to subside... the vomitting I can handle.. it's the splitting headache which renders me sometimes immobile ....

Nonetheless, indeed I am very thankful for this second gift and cant wait to meet her/him in person soonest... mummy loves you very very much

... Hmmmm... what else ... oh ya, last weekend Erwin's second bro Irwan finally tied the knot with his fiancee Azilawati (Ilot). The akad was on 3.7.2010 and the reception was held at Civic Centre the day after. But at the same time one of my best friends' wedding was also held on the same day in KL!!! Mixed emotions there .... wish I was there for Ene .... but in my early pregnancy, it is adviseble to take it easy and not travel ... so I only sent love thru my messages and calls...

... Hmmm ... I guess that's about it... I do hope it will get better this second tri mester and that I would be able to complete the one month Ramadhan fasting ... Insya Allah if God is willing...

Ciao!
