p/s: it's my 1st raya with hubby n baby (still inside - no need baju raya yet :)); next yr raya our theme colour will be pink (follow baby)...hihi boleh kan abg syg? ;)

fasting n birthday @ 6 months

hihi no idea what title to put for this entry...actually want to story about my birthday this year which falls during fasting month and also during my sixth month of pregnancy :)

so 5 days already past since i celebrated my 2*th b'day which was on 31st August...1st time celebrate as a wife but really celebrate it only after breaking the fast la...hubby brought me to break fast buffet at KL Tower revolving restaurant :) very very nice and i was so happy n excited since that was my first visit to the KL Tower...yup2 seriously my 1st ever visit...haha name je org kl but all this while never been to KL Tower...yeah i know pathetic...i think i just took that place for granted since i'm a KLian n the KL Tower will be there anytime i feel like going...hihi besides i really don't know what to look for there (obviously people go there to go up the tower right ;p)

but anyway hubby reserved the break fast buffet there earlier n ask them to have our table near the window so that we can see the view of KL from up there...totally nice but only after maghrib because during daylight it just looks like a building jungle...not very nice buildings actually...but during the night the view was superb thanks to all the lights n what not...baru la nampak cam city sket :)

oh btw b4 that during the day hubby's car got problem with its battery so after changing the battery he said he was going out just to drive the car around to make sure that it's already ok n stable...turns out he went to KLCC n bought me a Coach handbag as a b'day pressie!!! very nice...i heart it soooooo much!!! so my b'day pressie this year is the same as last year la...hihi that makes it my Coachie #5 :)) - not really a collector yet lah...hihi so i went to KL Tower that night wearing my new Coach...niceeee :)
p/s: my b'day pressie shud be the Medela FS breastpump but since i can't book it yet until my due date is near so i think that's why hubby find an alternative pressie...hihi again, lucky me! (but not to worry, i'm still going to get the breastpump yer :)) hahaha

ok that's it on my b'day update for this yr...hehe all in all i was sooo happy to celebrate it with hubby...thank u sooo much abg for everything!!! luv u darling! ;)

so today we had my check up for week 25...my weight increase by 0.8 kg ONLY due to fasting...yeay!!! the baby is still a girl :) n dr seri said she has the daddy o's nose...hehe good2...don't follow mama's k...hihi n this time around her weight is already around 811 gram...wow no wonder la mama jalan really slow je lately ni...baby is getting heavier inside...it's ok as long as she's healthy :)

hopefully from now on i can maintain my weight gain like that...huhu have to continue fasting after raya (erkkk i don't think so ;p)

ok lah till then, happy fasting (15 days to go, yeay!!!) n maybe an early selamat hari raya since i know i'll be soooo lazy to put any update here later...huhuhu

to baby darling, we'll see u again next month k...stay cute n healthy orait...n keep that nose held high...hehehe ape la pesanan penaja nih ;p
