Bunny boy at 30 weeks
1. We turn the BIG 30 weeks today. Looks like time really flies fast. I have started moving some stuff to TTDI, the place where i will spend my early days of motherhood; or pantang-hood. Altho i dont intend to pantang that much.
2. Talking about pantang; i am really clueless as to what one shoud or shouldnt do at pantang period. My cousin told me i could only do it with discipline 2 weeks max. (Oh my!) I asked my mum about urut and such and she says its not exactly necessary; especially for me who memang tak tahan vigorous urut. Plus i heard it cost a lot too; to impose pain on yourself that is. Someone told me about mustika ratu herbs coming in pills now. Now that's an idea. Altho i would think the bengkung is a great way to slim down fast.
3. The baby has little punches now and then, so cute. I think that i walk too much that pain has started under the big tummy and on my feet. Altho i would proudly say my feet is still a size 4-5; and i can still wear my wedding rings perfectly well. Oh jewellery shopping and snooping here we go again.
4. With the many work preps and baby preps, we silly lambs have yet to decide on a hospital to give birth. It is rather embrassing when people ask of our plans and i just mutter ; oh this place and that. We have surveyed one hospital but i didnt like it that much, spells scary. So this weekend when hubby has the time we have to go hospital surveying again and bring my red book and just register.
5. Due date is getting near. 1st week of Jan 2010. But i have this feeling that we might just make it in December. I feel sometimes that Bunny Boy is impatient (like me?) but at the same time brave and calm (like his father?). The good reason if he comes early is that i could take early maternity leave, and not worry about case profiles temporarily yippee.
6. My sis called from Aussie and asked me to pack a hospital bag already. Already? I havent even decided what to wear. I realised i have very little 'motherhood clothes'. Most are maternity wear fancy for work. And i realised i have to wash the baby clothes before i pack them in the bag; or place them at my mother's. Oh my too much work for a stressed mind at this time.
7. We have (so i heard) gotten approval for our maid but awaiting documents to be reverted to us. Oh my! Why is everything taking so longgg....i cant wait to retire from housework.

Swimming in my thots
Just these things swimming in my thots now:
1. Stress stress and stress.
2. Tired exhausted tired
3. The PPK exams and activities went on well, alhamdulillah; also had fun studying & meeting & eating with some old friends. However, the hecticness of last week took a lot from me; i was the most exhausted one. I almost broke my back!
4. I realised the legal profession is a colorful profession with many many talented and bright and wonderful people. I have today; many talented and 'useful' friends, that i would to dig their brains sometime.
5. At times of ultra-stress, a good cup of cofee and laughter: really is the best medicine.
6. Sometimes due to being very busy, i forget that i am pregnant. ??? which leads me to excessive backache!

Bathtime fun for Mom & Bunny Boy
Mum always loves a SPA. Of course who doesnt? And what better way to intro the world of exclusive spa (heheh) to baby other than yummy, soothing toiletries?
I especially LOVE the fragrant of J & J. Yup! From the powder to baby oil to lotions and shower gels etc...they are perfect for mom and baby! Of course there are other brands available but J&J just spells: NICE smelling babies!
So, an important preparation for our little bundle of joy is of course toiletries set for mom & baby. Marks & Spencer and such for mom ? Hmmm yummy!
Baby Baby 7 mths update!
We did our 7th month scan yesterday and Bunny Boy is now 1.2kgs! Wow! Alhamdulillah he is normal, and when i heard his heartbeat it was pounding at a normal rate:) The doctor says i am normal normal normal; no excessive weight gain, normal pregnancy woes .happy to hear that!
So happy to see Bunny Boy swimming along, and making some weird mouth movements; as if talking to himself just like his father! HEehe. (YES hmm they are a like even in UTERO? Oh no!) F thinks Bunny Boy looks like him, especially the nose part...hmmm.....
A few days ago i managed to stock up on baby items, there are a few items here and there that i have yet to purchase, but i am still in the midst of preparing; and with no maid yet and exams coming; i will put preparation on hold for a bit. As the mother to be, i also purchased some nice and cute maternity wear to suit all occassions. yes! It is fun to splurge on myself once in a while as it is always not about the baby rite?
I especially love matching tops for mom & baby; altho they are not that easily available here; except i see nice ones online!
It's goin to be a busy busy week again! Have a good weekend.

Legal Emotions
When you are handling a legal case (either presenting one or deciding one); it is critically important not to be emotional when handling it. I find handling parties' emotions and my emotions manageble when parties are represented by legal counsels ie. well educated lawyers who know their stuff.
However; some people (Malaysians and Non-Malaysians especially!) feel that they know the law better than their counsels; and the presiding Judge. Hence they think it is a waste of time and money appointing a legal counsel. So they trot to court and have this idea that they are very smart and can win their case hands down- by deliberating facts and only facts (emotional facts usually of how pathetic their life is and how stupid and irrational some people are yada yada yada). And with all that they drop this poisonous most irritating dose of their- human emotions. Which is so not necessary in a civil case.
As for me, i try to shut one eye at this kind of character; most of the time i think they waste my time and their time, and is not even legally productive as out of 100 pages of submissions maybe only 1-2 points can be legally considered.
So moral of the story is; if you are not legally trained; please dont try and pretend to be one; or act as if you know. Spend some money & time and get proper legal representation; save your emotions.

Some fast paced life updates
This month will pass really fast as i am the ultra super busy woman on the block! With work, social events and PTK exams coming i just cannot keep up! I will be taking a few days off from work just to prepare for PTK; as it is so not possible to prepare when i am in the office. Then i'd have to spend a WEEK in Bangi; oh how tiring that will be especially with this fragile back. I constantly need a tukang urut and some supplies of salonplas after a hard day at one utama:p
But on top of all this, pregnancy is normal and ok and we are looking forward to our 7th month check up this Friday. So fast!
Another thing that we are waiting for is our stay in MAID! Aiyo bile la nak sampai; cant wait to list down her jobscope (hehe) and for her to get used to work around my lil apartment and my mother's house. Will also wait for her to arrive before i really start on the baby room, there's just too much boxes and books to move around. InsyaAllah when she arrive will take some burden off my shoulders :p
We have bought the baby cot, baby clothes cabinet, baby changing table, baby sleeper (my fav!), nursing pillow, some baby attire, baby bag, baby tub, infant carseat, super special changing mat, etc all these spells baby baby baby..all the things we do for our newborns right? Soon will come my very favourite part- mother and baby toiletries :) I am such a fan of soaps creams etc i might even just use them before baby arrive :p
Time is so not on our side, will write some more.

Such beezy days
In several very short months my life will change completely. For the better i know. There's so much goin on today; courses tomorrow, friends to visit, stuff work/not work to read, exams to prepare, and the baby coming. Getting a bit worried about the last bit as i am getting bigger by the day; and although i try to be as self sufficient as can be (hmm?) it is not that easy to move around with a rather rounded big tummy!
There's also motherhood to look forward to; and sometimes i do wonder what kind of mum i will be; the overbearing protective type..or the playcool everything do it yourself type? Hmmm! cant wait to evaluate myself hehe. I just know that a lot of things will change, some broken sleeps (so not used to this ok..) and very limited me time.
Pregnancy so far has been ok. I feel the HEAT (yes i do!) and the sighs of relief when i get to the top of a staircase. I read that there is also this phase when you start to clean clean and organise your life/stuff- yes im kinda drawing towards that. It's so meletihkan but unstoppable.
Rite now, F has moved to Putrajaya and been busy as a bee. We are trying to plan a weekend get away before the baby arrives and our calendar's all full till maybe mid November. Sigh!
Nevertheless; i am so looking forward to becoming a parent; and taking care of my baby! IBeen reading loads on parenting; it's gona be FUN i know, and lots of work (ooooo) but i am also looking forward to doing things my way!! :p

Bar Table at Home
Been thinking of throwing out the useless dining table we have now and replacing it with a bar table instead. It's enough for just the 2 of us; and when the Bunny Bee comes he has more space to move around. When the PILs come they usually like to eat on the floor ramai-ramai so a bar table will give us more space around the apartment. Hmmmmmmmm......
Feels like CAKE!
This is terrible, but i feel like having cake and ice cream every other day! Habislah macam ni:p
I am in my 6th month and my appetite has been absolutely fabulos. We had another scan last week and little baby bun is 810gms. Cute! I am happy to hear from my doctor that he is growing normal and fine. That's all i need to hear!
Anyway; have been very careful with not overeating this Raya season; especially when there's so much good food around. My diabetic test came back negative, alhamdulillah, but i am still a bit cautious on my rice, sugar and juice intake. SO gotta controll,...yet so difficult! I try to just have one plate of rice per day, and not too much at the same time.
Anyway, it has been great meeting up with so many close and faraway friends this Hari Raya. Altho work has been rather demanding but i try to fill my weeekends attending to raya invites; and soon we need to start on project baby room again!
