food for the big preggy tummy~~~

Wow a second entry for today. This is certainly a new record. 2 ENTRIES IN A DAY!!! I barely make it for 2 entries in a month before this...hahaha


Actually I intend to do this entry for today but just now so emotional on missing abg so have to write that entry first...hehe now just remembered my original intention ;p


I just want to record all the food that I should eat or so called the good-for-pregnancy food since lately there are so many advices for me to eat this and that from friends, families, etc. So I just want to jot them down as a note for my next pregnancIES...ngeh2 ;p


The benefit of eating these food are various for different person who recommends me to them so I'm also not sure why I have to eat them...hehe but hey, no harm done right? They are good food indeed and in a way it's kind of forcing me to eat them because of their 'nutritions'.


Ok2 before I babbling more and forget the list, I'd better jot down the list now. So here they go:

1. Young coconut water (air kelapa muda) - for baby's smooth skin and thick hair
2. Pomegranate (buah delima) - to have a beautiful baby with dimples (seriously, dimples??? layan je laaaa ;p); prevent brain trauma for baby during birth
3. Kurma nabi - to have an easy birth; always good to eat anyway, very nutricious
4. Air selusuh (better if made from air zamzam) - for easy birth; but only drink once in labor
5. Soya milk (alternative: tempe...hihi i loike!) - to have a fair skin baby; but if consumed too much may result in sensitive skin for baby
6. Manuka honey - i'll take during confinement; MIL said will heals the cut faster; good also if take during pregnancy
7. Raisins - good for baby's brain
8. Neurogain - erkk this is actually the supplement given by dr but it's good for baby's brain so i want to put this in the list as well in case I forget the name later...hihihi

I guess that's all that I remember for now. Will add more if there is any other advice from anybody who is very concern about me...hihi but just to remind again please don't quote me on the benefits of eating those food as listed above. Those are just came from friends, families, google (hihi), etc. There are not scientifically true (at least not yet for me :)) But we shall see - really interested on the dimples from pomegranate...hehehe

Ok toodles for now...yup2 this is serious...no more entry for today ;p

we miss u...

Ok2 fine...actually the mama yg miss the daddy so much. But the baby pun like so restless since daddy left for LA. When mama sleep she doesn't sleep, when mama doesn't sleep she also doesn't sleep...huhu missing the daddy la tu i guess. But during noon just now she slept for a while, same sleeping time with daddy :)

Ok2 fine maybe it's my imagination ;p but true tau...hehe pandai la mama ni merekacipta cerita kan ;p

Anyways baby dear, this morning daddy said that he bought u some Osh Kosh clothes!!! Yippie!!! Mama also so happy!!! Hehe daddy said the clothes cantik :) Can't wait to see la. Exactly 1 week to go! :)

Mama ni cam tak biasa je kena tinggal kan. Every week daddy kat JB tu rilek je mama...huhu don't know why. Maybe it's because the thought that abg is so far away at the side of the world makes me miss him so much.

Ok lah want to wait for my darling's call. He'll wake up anytime soon. It's almost subuh time there. Baby, jom tunggu daddy o call :)

safe journey daddy...

Daddy is currently on the jetplane...huhu leaving mama n baby here in kl. Can't wait to talk to daddy once he reach LA around 3 am (hopefully i'm not so mamai during this time...hihi). I miss abg so terribly. Maybe it's because i've been with him for the last one week full. Now i'm really feeling lonely...sob..sob...but...baby is so active inside there since i had my glucose yesterday (yikesss) for the blood test. Everytime i think of abg n starting to feel sad baby will do the somersault inside there which will make me smile :)) Pandai la baby nak cheer me up!

Btw went to see baby just now with opah n cu. Bumped into so many people there n they all asked about daddy including dr seri...hehe first time went to check up without him :(

Anyways this visit's update:
Baby's weight: 2kg (naik around 0.5kg in 3 weeks)
Mama's weight: 63.8kg (naik 2.2kg in 3 weeks! huhu scary jugak nih)

Baby malu2 nak tunjuk muka kat opah...hihi same like last visit. She's facing at the other side. Can't see the cute face. After this i will have check up for every 2 weeks. Hopefully daddy can join us for the next check up :)

I guess that's all the updates for now. If you are reading this abg, we both miss u sooooo much. Take care ok dear. We'll take care of each other here. Don't worry k :)

@ 31 weeks...

Hihi don't know what to write as the title. And apparently today is the day i turned into 31 weeks preggy (first pregnancy semangat ingat exact week-by-week ;p). Hopefully i'll still cherish n track my future pregnancies like i do now :) hmm which makes me thinking...how many more pregnancies to go? hihi pregnancies yer not pregnancy...ish2 ape nih melalut.

But anyhow i can say that i really really really enjoy my pregnancy to the bits n don't mind going thru it over n over again! haha marah daddy o ni kalau dia bace ;p but yup it's true...despite of my fat look, unability to fit into my baju kurung n especially kebaya and missing my heels badly, i still enjoy it. It almost comes to the end now...huhu want to cherish these last few weeks of buncit tummy (eceh macam tak biasa pulak ada buncit tummy ;p)

Ok la back to the topic. Erkk what's the topic eh? Haha actually i don't have anything interesting topic to share la. These days i spend most of my times bloghopping rather than blogging (dari dulu pun mmg x rajin blogging btw ;p). But amazing la to see people has so many things and ideas to write about. Almost everyday. But it shud be simple right. Just write a few updates of yourself n there u r, making yet another entry. The point is I'M JUST LAZY!!! Haha and...and...and...i hv a very limited internet access previously...ok that justifies it ;p

Ok so now recent updates:
- got myself a broadband already...from Maxis...yippie!!! so no excuse la to leave this blog idle for long time eh like b4...hihi
- can't wait for weekends coz planning to go to Auntie's house @ Cheneh...long time no see her n family...n Syahmi is still here so can meet him as well...nanti next time jumpa i dah slim ;p n baby is here already! yeay! insyaAllah :)
- daddy o is confirmed going to San Diego next week...nak ikuttt!!! huhu but it's ok la if he manage to get my Medela FS...and also my Coachie hobo bag...hihi bestnyerrr...will be my Coachie #6...hehe but no pressure daddy o! if tak sempat beli pun it's ok...make sure u come home as soon as u finish the FAT k...gonna miss u terribly :(
- currently waiting for daddy o to come home from JB...yeay!!! baby pun suke daddy o nak balik...lompat2 dlm perut mama dari tadi :) insyaAllah we'll see daddy o in 2 hours' time k...
- baby is geting more active everyday...wonder if she gets enough sleep n rest or not...feels like she's moving inside there all the time...even if i wake up in the middle of the night also can feel her moving...wah2 so active la baby mama ni :)

Oh one more interesting update: had done shopping for baby last weekend but still pending a few items to buy. Really had fun la shopping baby stuff :) best2 nak shopping lagi boleh daddy o? Baby yang nak ;p

And now have to make a checklist for my stuff pulak. Selagi larat kaki ini melangkah i'd better do my shopping asap kan...huhu hopefully i'll still have the strength to get all the things needed before the big day :)

Ok lah want to harvest my peppers now...oh this is another activity of mine beside bloghopping ;p

walking into the last 10 weeks...or less?

wah2 so scary one...10 weeks to go...still haven't go to any antenatal class which i think i n hubby shud coz we really don't know what to expect n how to go thru it in a calm way...fuhhh...

anyways, had another check up just now, the first one after raya so very very neves on the weight...huhu but turned out it was ok (so said the doc)...mama's weight is 61.7 kg (just say it is 62 kg will ya?? ;p) increase by 2 kg in a month...n the lil' one's weight is around 1.4 - 1.6 kg already...wow our bundle of joy is really bundling inside there...hihi can't wait to see u darling :) (but mama is so scared...ngee)

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
