Some stuff for bunny boy

I finally realised that at 5mths++ my tummy is one hypersensitive machine. Certain kind of food is rejected, and i end up waking up at 5am with a tummyache. No reason whatsoever.
Anyway, ive been avoiding milk (other than soy) so i wont end up like the other day. Vitagen pun i throw out. Ive also been avoiding rice, so i eat noodles pasta and i love love bread.
This little bunny boy has been one super acrobat! I could feel him kicking moving and rollercoastering in my tummy. Sometimes i just wonder apa la si baby ni buat?
Anyway lil bunny boy, i have been having a LOT of fun shopping for you! YES actually i enjoy any form of shopping. We have started purchasing some essential items for your nursery, just worried that at 6-7months i might not have that much energy as i do now. YES walking through ikea can be challenging now even without heels :(
We are turning the wardrobe room into a wardrobe cum maid's room. Hence some furniture will be pushed here and there , and i need to opt for smaller furniture for the nursery; wanting it to stay simple and cute. I just wonder why ikea has this obsesseion about lizards, snakes, elephant and FROGGGGss. Everything is made of that green thingy, mommy no like!
I do want the maid to be as comfy as possible, so i will be cracking my head for lil nursery and the maid's room as well.
A lot of times before i purchase something for the lil baby, i'd google it and see how practical it is. Sometimes i wish we could purchase everything online, so much easier!
Anyway, we have to start a lot of things now, because next month we will be busy with raya. And the month after that i will be away for 2 courses and an exam (yikes!); there goes my October. Cum November, bunny boy will turn 8mths YIKES!

Cant wait to see you....LOVELOVE LOVE

5th month & Ramadhan

Seronoknyerrr nak dapat baby. Lately i have been excited especially when we found out that our first born will be a BOY! Alhamdulillah despite some vomiting incidence last weekend , this babygum managed to stay healthy calm and normal.
Now i need to focus on getting more rest, proper food and lots of prayers for this little one.

It seems that time has just passed by in a flash! And we are now in the 5th month, just a couple of months to go and still no preparation tee hee..I have been very happy with my private doctor, but F insist that we visit the Klinik Kerajaan as well to ensure we have proper records of everything for the delivery later. Banyak plak visits.

Right now my doctor has advised me not to puasa to ensure that i put on more weight; and take more liquids. Yes i know im very bad at eating right. So looks like i'll be eating all the goodies and be the food tester at home this Ramadhan! Cant wait to start this glorious month with prayers with the family and buka everyday at TTDI. Im really looking forward to the sweet cakes :p

Everyday my mum will call and ask the same question: Nak masak apa hari ni? So this year we have prepared a menu for her in advance, so she can get the ideas rolling and we can drool over the menu before buka! Haha

Options options

Mak and Abah were in Kl, so life after work has been hectic!! In the sense that we spend more time with them than with ourselves. Takpela, since nanti they all pun will babysit this lil baby so better this lil baby get familiar with their voices ;p

During my free time i have been googling a alot and reading baby blogs. So unlike me, yes i know but oh well all is natural when motherhood calls. I even researched about how people take care of their kids without a helper. What do they carry with them. It looks like preparation is a key factor and of course assistance from the father. And it seems that many many are doing it (espcialyy mat salleh hmmmm) and they look FUN actually! I know it's a lot of work; but i need to keep motivated and my MIL kept reminding me that during her time caring for kids were more complex than now. Hurmm...is Mak offering now? hehe, I see that MIL and FIL gives 100% concentration and attention when taking care of our lil nieces; she said it was just like that when she raised my husband. Terenyer these people.
i also did some research on nurseries near our place of work and TTDI, since maybe after 5-6 months we might opt a half day nursery for the baby. Mcm tu nenek can still do her shopping bit whilst baby is away hehe.

Ok, i guess i will have a full blown weekened. Potluck on Friday and Saturday (wowie nikmatnyer makan). And hopefully will try to do some shopping or so if i have the energy.

Chino-for the briefest moment you were here

Chino died last weekend due to a heart attack, and injuries suffered in a catfight.

It was a pure loss to us.

We miss you Chino, especially Ibu and Daddy.

4.5

Dear Baby,

You are now 4.5months. Soon you will be five and Mommy thinks its a good time to think about baby shopping!!
Although what i am really looking forward now is our next scan. Since i have been down with flu and cough this past week; i am sooo wondering how you are doing in there. Must be having trouble sleepin in that little cocoon with me sneezing and coughing every few minutes.
I have tried as hard as possible to stick to traditional methods of self-healing hehe, but in the end i had to succumb to the cough syrup as the cough and cold just wouldnt go away. At times like this i worry more about my pregnancy; whether everything is ok; and whether i have been eating right; as we all know my eating habits isnt all that great.
I do want you to know i am trying my hardest to understand the complexities of pregnancy; and becoming a mother. I know on top of it all it willjust spell out one thing: Happiness.
At the beginning of our pregnancy i have planned so much for us together, reading good books, healthy food, rest rest rest. But that is all planned and ive not even achieved half of that. But we will get through this i know.
We have been thinking of the baby room now, we need to start soon on some shopping and not leave it to the last minute as we might miss out on some important details in welcoming you- our first born! How exciting it is to see your face for the first time :p

Baby baby baby

I'm so happy that Auzzie Sis is expecting again! Now we will have a bigger family- and more silly children jokes to laugh at! Sara's 'tahi idung' joke is classic but im so excited and just cant wait for my own lil baby and coming up after me is niece/nephew no. 2!
My father says; it's great not only 2 grandkids but his birthday is 10.10.2010 next year. How irrelevant is that???????

I consider my family small. Although my parents have 5 kids, and one slimey grand daughter; but we dont have big relative outings or occassions as often as other families. We prefer dinners or parties just amongst ourselves. Semangat silaturrahim in my family agak kurang la. And even my husband's family is small, 3 boys and their wives and kids. Tu je. We can all fit in a tourist van.

Sooo looking forward to the future :)
