awanpurple is my sanctuary. A place where I go to escape, where I release (almost) all of my thoughts, my fears, my wants, my triumphs, my desires...my me and let them run free, without the rest of the world knowing. Because the world doesn't matter - only those who matters to me matter. To them I welcome you to my most inner me.
Your baby is still gaining weight -- about an ounce/ 28 grams a day. She weighs nearly 6 pounds/ 2.7 kilograms and is 19 inches/ 45 centimetres long from head to toe.
You may begin to feel an increased pressure in your lower abdomen and notice that your baby is gradually dropping. This is called lightening or engagement, and your lungs and stomach will finally get a chance to stretch out a little -- breathing and eating should become easier. However, walking may become increasingly uncomfortable -- some women say it feels as if the baby is going to fall out. Also, you may still feel as if you need to go to the loo all the time. Stock up on those last minute nutrients with our eating well guide.
The good news is that by the end of this week, your pregnancy will be full-term and you could give birth any day now. (Babies between 37 and 42 weeks are considered full-term -- a baby born before 37 weeks is premature and after 42 is post-term.) At your weekly visit, your doctor or midwife may check to see if you've started dilating (when the cervix opens) and effacing (when the cervix thins). The midwife will also check what position the baby is in, in order to estimate how far the baby has dropped into the pelvis. This information will be entered into your maternity notes so that your midwife in will know the position of the baby when you go into labour.
to my cousin, Abg E and wife on the birth of their newborn baby girl.
This is the 2nd grand daughter for my uncle, Ayah Dan. His first was Ilma... Im sure he's excited.. coz suma anaknya lelaki.
Blum lagi pegi menjenguk dorang and no pics of the baby yet. But will upload once I have it. Hope baby and mommy are in good health.
This lil girl pun sharing the same birthday as my other nephews, Khalis and Danish. And just a day after my mom's.
Hope my lil boy will be out on the 22nd May pulak. Not sharing with anyone but, it will be just 2 days before Johan's, 4 days before Aidil's and 6 days before Zahirin :P
also, my sister in law who is celebrating on the same day
Happy 20th Birthday, Amira!
Since Amin will be away today and until the 30th April, we've decided to have makan2 for Amira yesterday. Planned to have dim sum, since Amin tot Amira would enjoy la and Amin mmg been 'ngidam' to go! but, On Saturday, as I was also busy with a wedding event, kecoh2 gak la, lupa to remind Amin to invite la the birthday girl. hehe. Kira anggap je la that she will be free. Lupa, Sunday is her gym day till 3pm. so dim sum plan had to cancel.
We stayed home till around 2pm and we straight went to Ikano/The Curve coz Amin wanted to go buy a black shirt and a black pants for his Congress thingy in Singapore. Its his company's colour theme kan, and his baju kerja pun dah ala ala kaler lusuh la jugak. Lama kitaorg tak pi shopping baju kerja.. Mau setahun lebih. Pakai je apa yg ada, selagi tak hancur kan. :P We went to Padini first coz normally we can find alot of his baju there at reasonable prices. Malangnya, takde la reasonable mana for just a plain black shirt. Aiyo!
So we walked to The Curve and pegi la ke Debenhams. It was his first time and he fell in love with that place! He got his shirt and it was just RM69per pc. It suits him so well. Pehtu, dia rasa cam murah, dia pi amik satu lagi shirt.. :P Ok la, tu. As long as he's happy, I'm happy. :) We also went to the baby's department and fell in love with their collection. Aunty Bah, Amin's aunty dah beli kan a few from there and also a newborn kasut. Ada pulak a baju yg match with the kasut! I like! Nasib baik tak bawak duit.. haha.. kalau tak, mungkin dah beli dah. Hehe.
Called Amira and asked her to make the choice, mana she wants to makan. Itallianies or Fridays? and she memilih utk pergi ke Itallianies! Woohoo! So we had a great makan2 session. Talked. Laughed. and all that la. She also mentioned that on her birthday she wants to just eat Pizza and Ice Cream. And her brother was so like sian to dgr. So he ordered Pizza for us to share and had Basking Robbins lepak2 lagi session with the birthday girl. hehe. I just hope that she had fun. Since on her birthday, she will be alone and all. Pastu, when citer pasal nak gi Singapore ni pulak, dia cam excited.. and somehow we suggested that she ikut Amin la. hehe. She can do all her gym session there and shopping or just chill lepaks rite? She tak nak la mula2 pastu, dah malam she called Amin and agreed to follow. I yg tak ikut ni pun dah rasa excited pulak utk dia. hehe..
Around 7pm, we left to my parents place. Dad called me up earlier to tanya wat time nak mai. hehe. I ckp petang la since nak makan with Amira first.
Tapau-ed Tau foo Fa for them and off we go to their place. Umah skang dorang cam nak ribut gak cam nak wat kerja kawen lagi sekali je. hehe.. This is one is for the arrival of the lil one and us staying there for almost 2 months. They installed the water heater to our bathroom, jaring2 kat belakang umah as the cats will the kept there, paint the house in and out, a place for a maid and lots more. Yes, they are going to hire a maid for me. Wah wah. Ive never had any and gosh, I dunno how to handle or even ask help from one. hehe. Since my parents will be working and and having her will be so much help la for all of us nanti. Like basuh baju ker apa and all. But, she will only be with us for 2 months. Got my tukang urut as well, but will let mom to talk to her and if she pass the test. We prefer to have a local and someone we know or related.
When we were talking, Mom tiba2 went, " Hak, if you want to get me birthday present, get that one" While pointing to my charm bracelet.. hehe..
I asked " you want the bracelett or u want the diamond earings?" Coz I remember that she said that she liked the teardrop shape of TS diamond earings.
"Nope, I want the bracelet"
Bapa ku tanpa nak cover line pi la nyorok and call anak lelaki dia and inform. Rupanya dorang ni dah plan nak beli kan present for mom. Like last year I had to miss the whole thing coz I was in Paris. So this time we waited till the clock strikes 12am.
Me and bro kena call2 each other selalu as I asked for his help to buy a charm from me for mom. Since dah tau apa dia nak, senang.. susah skit nak beli the best for her, coz she has almost everything kan. hehe. But like perfumes or bags, she mmg terus akan happy! Like last year I bought her Joop! perfume coz its from Germany and I was in Frankfurt! She was happy about that. Abah also got the a perfume from the same brand. Yg sangat2 latest.
I mintak bro to buy her initial 'R' a plain silver for her, sorry Ma, thats the budget yang I ada for now, but, I hope she likes it. :) And thanks to bro and Wawa for going to Pav from KLCC just to help me get the 'R'. Tq so much for all the trouble.
Waited for him to come home. Mom was busy cleaning up the house, I wish I could help, but dah tak larat dah. She is having alot of business trips to go to in the month of May and afraid that she wont have enough time to kemas and prepare for the house. Whats sad, is that she might not be able to be here when I am in labour. Huhu! Giler sedih, coz of all ppl in the whole world she's the only 1 who knows what to do and soothe my pain and sadness.
Jam dah pukul 12am, we all 4 of us, went in, suprised her with wishes and the present. Yeap yeap! She got her Thomas Sabo. Seems very happy bout it! Hehe. Yeay!
We will have our family dinner once Amin is back from his company trip. Both of us was suprised when we heard that my parents would rather wait for Amin to come back from Singapore and then baru la we have the family all together than to have dinner on the birthday itself, without him. Wah, sayang ngan menantu. hehe. harus la, walaupun... muahahah..
Oklah, will take pics of mom's bracelet and the 2 cute lil kitties.
Your baby now weighs about 5.25 pounds/ 2.4 kilograms and measures approximately 18 inches/ 45 centimetres from head to toe. His elbow, foot or head may protrude from your stomach when he stretches and squirms about. Soon, as the wall of your uterus and your abdomen stretch thinner and let in more light, your baby will begin to develop daily activity cycles.
This week, your little one is now sporting fingernails and has a fully developed pair of kidneys. His liver can also process some waste products.
There's much less amniotic fluid and much more baby in your uterus, which has expanded to a thousand times its original size. You've probably put on between 25 and 30 pounds/ 11 and 13.6 kilograms and your weight gain has hit its peak. Even your belly button has got bigger and has popped outward. You may be feeling breathless now that the top of your uterus is up under your ribs. Try getting down on all fours to take deeper breaths. Although the pressure on your bladder will make the bathroom your second home, don't drink any less water -- your baby needs the fluids. But you may like to cut down on diuretic drinks like tea and coffee, which will make you have to urinate even more often..
Your doctor or midwife will probably want to start seeing you every week until you give birth.

This is our second check up of the month.. as usual, kita akan pilih to go on a Sunday nite..
Saturday evening or morning will be packed with people. I cant stand the wait... :P and then, at nite will be AF Konsert, and kecoh2 Saturday nite ppl kuar outing.. malas nak redah tu gak. On sunday nites, Dr will be in at around 9pm, and just in time after dinner, we all can gerak to Subang.. and seriously, she's always extra nice during this hour. So.. mmg kitaorg stick to this je dah! hehe..
In the afternoon, we went to Amin's cousin's kenduri doa selamat. Didi is her name, she dah grad from Medic studies. I dun realy understand Medic and Law punya level2 and studies nih.. no matter la how much I try to learn. :P Sbb cam susah nak faham, the term je pun I dah tak paham. Anyways, congrats to Didi!
Masa kitaorg sampai masih ramai lagi kat sana.. Amin's grandpatrents pun ada jugak.. Mummy (Didi's mom) pun ajak la kitaorg makan.. the food was lovely I tell ya! Dimasak oleh tuan rumah sendiri... Sambal Udang, Asam Pedas Daging tambah lak ngan Bunga Kantan.. perghh! Amin ate grilled lamb + potato salad... my my my! Sodaapp!
Pas makan kita pun lepak la with his family.. Mummy was as her usual self, funny! Tak pernah tak berlawak.. hehe. ingtkan gaya dia pun, boleh buat I gelak skang.. :P Nenek pun ada cerita, pasal how Amin masa kecik2, baik je.. hehe.. mintak anak dia akan baik jugak cam dia.. hehe.. Insyallah, yang baik mmg di alu alukan..
Didi also tapaukan some lauk for us... with kuihs suma.. nyum nyum! But, I cadangkan kepada Amin supaya kasi the lauks to Amira, kesian sbb dia tak datang sama... and boleh la nak makan masa malam kan ke.. since we all pun dah makan pun kan.. and then nak gi check up lagi..
Around 4pm, we all left and pegi tulis nama kat clinic tu, just to get a good number kan. Terus hantar the lauks and off to The Curve... why? yes the never ending stroller punya citer... after installing the car seat to his car.. and me seating at the back.. and us with a small car kan.. I pun rasa its better to get the umbrella folded type of stroller than dont take up so much space. and its just a stroller rite? Ntah la, pakai baper lama satu hal, but my point is space!
So I went to do a research for a good, affordable and yg tak take up so much space.. a lightweight type... I found the Maclaren Techno XT stroller which is so much cheaper than the ones that we liked, well still do like la.. tapi so expensive.. being Amin, he still insisted that we get the Skate Peg Perego and if not the Quinny buzz, at least.
I went on and on again, bout YES I love to have the Skate for the lil one..coz its just perfect... I wish I could get one..! but we need to get the stuff yg suit to our lifestyle, our car and our kemampuan.. Kalau nak wish, baik I wish that I had a bigger car, or a bigger house.. or bigger salary kan? :P So, get things that give us what we need than just to what we want.. kan?
He didnt agree at first, of course.. sbb ntah la, its so simple and takde la stylo lansung like the one we had in mind... I wasnt convincing enuff kot with my speeches.. hehe.. to me, as long as dia kasi apa kita nak, im good enuff.. sapa kata I demanding? mauahha! silap2!
We went to Mothercare and I showed him the stroller, and pas fikir2 dia cam "Ok je la" with the stroller... agreeing with me that, stroller tu cukup bagus dr segi harga, apa dia boleh wat and tak bulky.. and can be used from newborn.. just like what we were looking for.. he liked the feel of the stroller. So, at least dia dapat rasa kan?
I never liked Maclaren strollers, hehe rasa cam poyo jer org yg pakai tu.. tapi rupanya.. antara yg paling elok la.. and affordable.. tu yg penting.. he went home and wat his research pulak, and finally, we think for now, yg tu la paling sesuai for us dgn keadaan kita skang ni kan.. Ive also asked a few frens yg ada the same stroller and they all pun mmg suka! so Insyallah, we'll get that.. tapi only after the baby is 2-3 months old. No need now la, since baby will be in the house for the 1st 2 months ni kan... only later biler nak pegi jumpa Paed dia jer la.. kena la i bawak.. in case sumtimes, Amin will be busy with work.. I can go on alone with the baby.. rite?
Pas dah tgk stroller, we all pegi ke clinic..
My blood pressue is normal, my weight is still 85kg, tak naik2 dari last 2 weeks, which the only thing yg Dr ni tak suka.. :P baby's weight is normal, uri, air and everything inside there in all good! Alhamdulillah.
His heart beat rate this time was 133, which is good.. and masa the Dr was doing that test, dia siap tendang2 lagi.. hehe.. and paling la bersyukur, baby dah in the position. Alhamdulillah. happy sgt, and Amin asked if by any chance dia akan pusing balik, Dr said, very unlikely sbb air dlm perut dah skit dah.. so, he can move around that much sampai nak berpusing2.. eheh.. good boy, thank you for listening.. :)
This time in the video, you can see the baby's face.. the chubby cheeks menten ok! Tu la menda pertama Dr tu akan nampak dulu.. heeh.. he even opened his mouth at one time, but I didnt to see that, only Amin and the Dr did. so far, everything is doing good. the Heart, leher dia takde tali yg sangkut ker, his lil fren pun in perfect condition, legs and arms.. everythings good. Syukur.
Dr gave me a letter for us to register to SJMC. Will find time to do that soon. I even told her about the pain that Im having, she said, its normal and said she mmg cant deny its painful.. :) Told me to walk slowly next time, as the tummy gets bigger, the more la ia akan sakit.. wah wah wah... hehe..
So, everyone.. enjoy the video, which i think cam dia baca doa je kan? hehe..
And heres To TJ, as promised!
Gambar kat tepi balcony.. heeh.. lawak gak pose i kan?!
Hahaha gedik tak? :P
Ok la.. dah lama sgt tak hujan, now both of us kena tido kat the living hall.. sbb kena bukak aircond..
Your baby now weighs more than 4.7 pounds/ 2.2 kilograms and is 18 inches/ over 45 centimetres from top to toe. She's filling out and getting rounder -- she'll need her fat layers later to regulate her body temperature.
If you don't already talk to your baby, this is a good time to start -- at 35 weeks her hearing is fully developed. Don't feel ridiculous if you're already chatting in baby talk. Some evidence shows that newborns pay closer attention to high-pitched tones.
If you've been nervous about going into premature labour, you'll be happy to know that 99 per cent of babies born at week 35 can survive outside the womb -- and most have no major problems. Although your baby's central nervous system is still maturing, her lungs are nearly fully developed by now.
Many women start to notice a tingling sensation or numbness in the pelvic region or pain as they walk. This may be caused by the pelvic joints loosening, ready for labour. If you're terribly uncomfortable, mention it to your midwife or doctor and check out our self-help tips.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE PRESENTS! WE LOVE THEM.. ESP MOMMY LA!
Hey again...
Anyways, since I wont be having my Baby Shower (boo hoo), and some of my frens asked me, what would I want for the baby.. so far, like clothes, pants, blanket, hat and socks suma dah complete la, I mean cukup for now (in fact for many more months to come!), we got the cot, tilam and cot sheet. Also the breast pump and the car seat pun dah settle. I will go get menda2 lain tu like diapers, cotton balls, baby wipes, baby vontot cream by EMAB, and others as we go along la.. hmm sambil2 wat list ni, will help me to ingat balik what I shud go buy.
Let me present to you, baby stuff wishlist:-
One - Tommee Tippee: Closer to Nature Electronic Steam Steriliser
Littlewhiz.com : RM 341.90
myBBstore.com : RM 379.90299.90
_____
Two - Tommee Tippee: Closer to Nature Baby Food & Bottle Warmer
Today, we all woke up pretty early.. yeap Amin now wakes up earlier than before.. hehe.. rasanya dah terbiasa waking up early everyday to work, earlier than EVER!
Amin decided that today we go buy more things for the baby... hm, I on jer! heheh.. I suka! suka nak jalan2! He also needed to potong rambut, it was already panjang and hmm.. asik tangguh2 je kan... tapi ari ni he made sure that he do it! Goodie, looking much better now! I just like it when he's all smart and neat looking. Sejuk hati kan? :)
Boleh pulak time tu hujan, so we straight pegi ke OU. Parking as usual la susah sgt nak mencari. Got an illegal one, coz, dah terlampau ramai orang... As long as the parking tak susahkan org, ok jer.. kan? :P Alasan...
Oh, before we left the house.. we made a list of things to buy today... if poss..
1) Belly support - The most important thingy now..
2) Nursing Bra x 2
3) Breast pad
4) Tommee Tippee - BPA free and Anti Colic with Valve - 2 of the 260ml and 1 of the 150ml
5) Changing Mat - the Blue/Pink rubber kind from Pureen i think- Its nice to have the hippo type from Mothercare also! hehe
6) Bottle brush - Tommee Tippee
7) Nipple Cream : Earth Mama Angel Baby or Medela Purelan
8) CAR SEAT!
As soon as we arrived, we had King Pie for Brunch..and to alas perut, coz my cousin Kak Nany going to make Mee Bandung for me... ! Wee! yes, I love her Mee bandung the best! Also to visit my auntie and uncle.. as Ive not been seeing for MOONNNTTHHSS! the pie was good, me likey! lebih makan the pastry than the inti.. :)
Straight to Mom's Care on the new wing section... tgk2 kalau ada jual the bottles or anything from the list... tapi takde yg apa we are looking for... then straight to the shop Bebehaus to go see the car seat... The car seat that we want ada available in 2 shops in KL ni jer - Bebehaus and Mothercare... but Mothercare bring in limited quantity and colour.. sabar la, biru and merah je boleh okeeh?
Heheh sian Amin, mmg dah tak sabar, as car seat mmg bahagian dia utk decide and cari the one thats good.. Luckily for us, the discount of 10% was still available.. Yee Pee! We didnt get the Chilli Colour that we like coz thats the 2009 punya colour.. we got to add a few hundreds for it kalau nak... everything else is the same.. ONLY colour.. hm, tak payah... colour is just colour.. nak kejar trend/up to date ngan colour jer... baik simpan duit tu wat menda lain kan? Apa apa pun, we are already happy with this one!
So, without much thinking (sebab dah berbulan2 thinking and surveying), we took it! Coz, mmg this is the best choice for us.. and the price pun reasonable to compare to the other convertible car seats that are avaible. I seriously think that it is even better than BRITAX or even MaXI CoSI... (no offense to anyone yg beli or planning to buy, its just our thots la)
Amin wanted to get the carrier type so its mobile, baby can be put in there and bawak la kehulu hilir and it can be as a infant car seat gak! But you see, if we get that, the carrier cost around RM850 and to be an infant car seat you got to BUY the base which cost the same RM 850 around there- additional...! Infant carrier boleh guna dlm umur 12 months or a certain Kgs. Most of the time, boleh je la sampai 8 months if you have a big baby.... then later u got to buy another car seat RM 1,200 for 12months and up to 4 years old.. :) Not worth it kan to have byk2 barang and nak kena beli berkali kali.. and you eventualy spend more money...rite? Since mmg agak budget tapi dlm nak beli yg paling elok and safest for baby... and not spending more than we shud, so the answer was CONCORD ULTIMAX! You can read all about it here
The shop also sells the Medela Swing Breastpump that I was looking for.. Normal price is RM768. And I also mintak TJ's help to find me one in Melb. She can found only one shop in Melb (aiyo tak laku ke Medela Swing di sana? hehe) and then the price that she got was RM600! Jeng Jeng Jeng... I was excited and tunggu time nak ckp ngan TJ to just buy. I asked mom and she said to spend so much on the breastpump as I might use it for a while and give up. But, I SERIOUSLY want to breastfeed my lil one. Coz its the best for the baby, immunity dia, brains development and suma will be better that other baby who takes formula milk. And not forgeting the BOND that the baby and I will have.
Since Ive put my mind into it, and I tot, whatever... I will get this good pump and try my best to breast feed this baby... so, not only me, Amin and the rest of the family will have the chance to feed him as well.. its also portable and I can bring to office when i start working. SO I seriously hope that it'll be smooth sailing for me to experience and giving the best for the baby... and thats why WE BOUGHT IT!
Since, dah beli the car seat, I am now a member, we got 10% off for the breastpump, RM690 jer.. so ok la tu.. in between ngan harga kat Melb. But apa apa pun, thanks to TJ and Auntie Anin for your help pegi cari ok? and for everything else uve done to help us..! :)
Btw, Farah.. if you nak beli anything from there, let me know.. u can use my membership 10% discount.. nanti i bagi my number ok?
Me paid and we off to Planet Enfante to cari for the other stuff... Sadly the bottles that yg BPA free takde, so I will look out for that someplace else.. even in Mothercare pun takde... aiiseey! geram gak la... in Mothercare nursing bra dia agak mahal gak la and its quite small for me.. so, I will have to go cari for it someplace else.. Adoi, tgk la Insyallah, we'll go to Babyjaya again to get the rest of the things pulak nanti... its cheaper there...
It was all rainy yesterday and we straight went to Putrajaya to my auntie's. Its was good to see them all there. Plus the kids, Khalis, Cik Da and Cik Ya! eheh.. Lisa was there as well, kurus dah anak sedara i tu! :P
I bought them Cheeze Choc from Secret Recipe and they all loved it! Ah goodie! Kak Nany's mee bandung was the bomb.. alot of tauhu and ayam in there... yummy.. lepaked and just spending time with them.. ask la my auntie pasal menda nak beranak ni suma kan...
Oh, Mom and auntie Lina, will jahit the bengkung for me and baby... :) nice! coz kat luar tu ada jual, cuma kecik jer... so tak best.. nak yg custom made!
We took out the car seat to let Cik Da and Khalis try on it... they both love it! hehe.. so hopefully my lil boy will too! Its just nice coz Cik Da is 3years old and Khalis is 4... 4 years old is the maximum age for the seat.. but still looks ok... cuma tak baper nak pasang btul lagi.. berbaloi la rasanya! Alhamdulillah.
Mmg saya suka nyimpang... anyways thanks alot to my Mak ngah and family for having us and masak dinner...
Terus ke citibank to settle all my outstanding.. hehe.. its all cleared now! Woo hoo!! Alhamdulillah. Hope that everything go smoothly...
As we sampai the house, kita pun try la the car seat in his car... sbb kalau tak muat or takleh, we can send it back to them, at least a day after la.. sbb semalam was hujan and all kan? We tried the rear facing and also front facing for both seat passenger and sear belakang.. its all look ok but agak sempit skit la since we have a small car. Yg pasti, baby has to be in front.. coz, in safer and lagi kuat when he's infront.. pastu I can be at the back to jaga him.. if he's at the back, both of us pun takleh nak tgk dia... mana la tau kan.. kena perati la.. dun worry, coz, we have no air bags so its SAFE to put the baby in front.. Pastu, kalau dah ada seat cam tu.. sah2 la boleh 3 org jer in our car... dah tak muat dah lagi... hehe.. kitaorg pun imagine kalau balik Kampung Amin kat Segamat tu.. like we always do during Raya time... pun, selesa for all of us.. cuma nak letak stroller tak dpt la... or barang2 besar ke kan... adoi, best btul berangan! hehe..
So, I will leave you here with the pics! eheh.. and tell me what you think ok?
Here's the Medela Swing Breast pump... :D nggee ngeeehh.. with BPA free summore! so cekai looking kan, padahal.. mahal woo!
here's how the pump looks like...
this is the view from where im seating.. or will be seating nanti... not bad eh?
kasi close up skit lagi.. :)
;)
this is how it looks like.. :) and then the colour is also nice rite? Matches Amin's car!
Ok then, I will have to continue with Work.... baru je makan ubat, skang nak tunggu Teh Bunga + Ais from Black yang gi tolong belikan.. susah gal nak jalan skang.. sakit2... :P
Firstly, Im so happy, happy and feel so touched with the ppl around me... :)
I just tot of this baru nih jer, tho you cant go to hers, but I can bring the pics here rite? hehe..

Nite! Baby cant stop moving moving in the tummy.. hopefully going back in the position patutnya tu kan.. hehe. Me wanna go rest.. !
Your baby now weighs about 4.2 pounds/ 2 kilograms and measures approximately 17 inches/ 44 centimetres from head to toe. Your baby should already be getting ready for birth by turning upside-down -- his head should be pointing down.
Your doctor or midwife will be paying careful attention to your baby's position in the coming weeks -- some babies do decide to turn back round again.
Your baby's skull is still quite pliable and not completely joined, so he can ease out of the relatively narrow birth canal. But the bones in the rest of his body are hardening. Your baby's skin is also gradually becoming less red and wrinkled. Information you need, just when you need it
If you're a first-time mother, your child's head may move into the pelvis this week and press firmly against your cervix. (This happens for about half of all first-time mothers.) If you're a second-time mum, you can expect this to happen a week before labour -- and for some this won't happen until the start of labour. Hoping to manage your labour naturally? Here's all you need to know about natural pain relief.
You may notice that your feet and ankles are quite swollen by the end of the day. Water retention, also known as oedema, is often worse in warm weather and late in the day. Surprisingly, keeping hydrated helps reduce water retention. Your body -- particularly your kidneys -- and your baby need plenty of fluids, so drink up. If you suddenly feel swollen or puffy in your hands or face, however, call your doctor -- it may be a sign of pre-eclampsia.

Jessie made a post for me today, but since her blog is private so I cant realy show ya... sorry! But, In the blog, entry, all photos of thingssss me love.. baby stuff like the super hot baby cot, STOKKE round cot, her new Ed Hardy bag which i dah start to poling in lap.. Wohooo! Siap gambar her mom browsing thru barang baby kat the shop.. waahhh best best! She also bought me the blanket for baby kat sana.. thank you makcik for all the help and im so happy...!
Before we found out that I was pregnant, we all mmg plan to go visit her kat Melb.. somewhere NOW! hehehe.. but, tak dpt la since we need to save up for the baby and all kan? Takpe, makcik... end of the year lets do the Ishak-Halili trip again! Wweee!! This time tambah 2 additional family members... hehe.. while we go and have our mid nite lepak time by the beach, Amin can jaga baby for a while.. hehee..

Okies, i got to go to work real early tomolo... so, nites ppl!
We woke as usual ard 11am and decided to go for Japanese brunch. My pressie for him. Then off to the clinic to 'tulis nama atas batu' for the 9pm's check up session.
Waited at my parent's place.. Abah and Amin duk atas tgk F1, and I sat downstairs with mom while she had her eyes, ears and the whole of herself glued to her lappy - watching non other than her favourite Korean Drama Series... :P I cant keep up anymore to which drama she is addicted to now, coz, uish.. advance giler.. :P
You can seriously get addicted to those Koreans ok! hehe.. Ad said, while she was in her pantang.. she layan berdozen of Korean CDs hehe.. Something I would do during my pantang period tau! I hope Amin will download the final series of Desperate Housewives for me as well la nanti... So, theres something for me to DO.... the baby will be sleeping most of the time rite?
Mom cooked dinner for us.. kari dagingg.. OOhh I love! I also helped her to cook, I miss those days la coz, thats the time we'll talk... :) I kindda told her alot of stuff, as usual... mom will tell me to sabar and somehow telling me indirectly not to think of the things so much... no biggie la..
We reached the clinic around 10pm. hehe.. Patty was suprised to when I was smsing her and told her bout it... hehe.. kindda funny kan gi check up malam2 gitu...
But I think id prefer to visit her during nite time.. dia lebih mesra la.. hehe duno why but we both think so la...
Amin was on the fone while my name was being called. I got in first, why la keep the Dr waiting rite? As i got in to the room... Dr was all smilling and happy to see me.. and asked dgn terkejutnya.. " Sorang saja ker?" hehe..
Then later when Amin got in, she pun like so excited saying hi tau.. ok la tu, warming up with him biler nak dkt2 beranak nih... well, can you blame her... he's the hard to 'mesra' with kindda guy... well, unless you are some aweks then thats a different story lah!
I gained another kg, means Im 85kg now.. and while I was on the wheighing machine, the Dr tegur " Waahhh your kaki so bengkak laa.." I looked and was suprised too! Was selalu kaki cam biasa jer, depan Dr dia kembang teruk lakk! hehe.. She advised to put up my legs as often as I can..
The baby's heartbeat was normal.. 140 this time.. and the baby pulak dah breech pulak but its a normal thing la... as long as it will come back to the position at 36 week, so he's free to move! hehe.. His weight is 2kgs now.. hehe.. If you see the video ni, you can see his chubby lil cheeks.. its so cute, I tell ya.. it got me long la to see the chubbs chubbs cheeks.. I even asked the Doc to show it to me.. :P Other than than that, he's doing good.. and still a boy :) Jantung, Uri, water and everything la is normal.. Alhamdulillah.
I also asked the doctor about the hips yg sakit, showed her where exactly and she explains.. its because now that the baby dah songsang in position... his kaki is tendang-ing my hips, so the pain comes from the pressure.. there's nuthing much that can be done... but it helps if I..
1) Wear the belly support - which i have seen before kat Mothercare.. kat clinic pun ada... can go cari la...
2) Put pillow kat tepi perut will sleeping...
3) 'Sujud' position to make him pegi balik to the normal position...
Hm.. Ive been missing my prayers for a week plus now.. I better start balik esok kan.. :)
So here is the video... I wish I can tell you mana and apa u are actually looking at.. :P Hope this helps... The baby is actually looking at you, with his eyes close, agak close up la.. and
Alritey... that will be all.. Im off to bed now, tho only god knows how much im dragging myself to go to work esok.. hehe..
Yesterday, Amin had to leave for Penang for some work launching thing...
Almost everyone was worried bout me staying alone at home, so told my mom la yg I wanted to put up a nite at her place.. Kira ok la, if apa apa jadi susahkan... buat apa nak risk all that?
So rite after work, I came back to pack and kemas kan the kitties stuff - food and poo poo.. ard 7pm, I reached their place. Only Abah was around, waiting for me. Mom had to work late and Bro Jo pulak kena tunggu till my mom balik kerja.. dorang kan kat KL?
So had a lil alone time with Abah, watched TV together...
around 9 sumthing.. Mom and Jo came back and we ate dinner- Kyros Kebab that Bro Jo tapau for us.. it was good. I didnt finish mine :P But Johan habiskan la, so ok jer...
Played with the kitties, esp Totti.. Heidi was so sibuk with her two kittens.. hhe Oh I lupa, I patutnya amik the gambar. Mom nak letak in her facebook and also nak tunjuk kat Jessie.. hehe.. I will next time ya..
Around 12am, we all pun masuk la tido... Johan slept in his room, I in his old room and my parents tido kat depan TV jer.. coz normally dorang will tido in Johan's old room. Alamak, mmg kesian la.. but they insisted tho we told her to sleep in the room la. Aiyo.
I tido, I didnt close the door abis so I can see my parents from where I sleep. and then the lil Totti was torn between me and my parents.. :P He slept btul2 antara pintu... heheh.. he wants to sleep with me tapi nak jugak be with my parents.. haha confuse lil kitty!
Having flu, but nowadays im all prepared... I got my vicks and asthma pump with me.. hehe.. so, about half an hour or maybe less, I was already deep into my sleep.. :D
In the morning, mmg ada bau cam masak2... I tot it was my brudderr.. but then i went back to sleep... My dad woke me up at 7:15am and terus bangun and mandi, everything.
Got dress, and mom was like...
"Aik, boleh lagi pakai baju dulu2?
hehe, yes I only have 2 preggy bajus.. :) I actually count myself lucky coz I dun need to spend on me, for maternity clothes.. I can still wear my old baju... coz, kalau beli, dah mahal.. biler tu pulak, pakai baper bulan je kan?
We got down, and my mom ajak makan breakkie.. I didnt know she cooked! Tapi sayangnya i dont eat breakie.. tapi cam rugila pulak biler dah sampai opis.. coz, my mom yg masak kan.. I only ate sausages and ada lagi scrambled eggs, hash browns and fish fillet.. huhuhu... I didnt want to be late gak la time tu... sausage 2 ketul tu pun dah yummy!
Left the house at 8am and sampai opis at 830 on the dot..! Woo hoo.. time tu takde plak boss aku tuh! Cessh! haha.. but, when he nak balik, I asked him... " Going back?" and he angguk la...
Sekali he called me, and said
" Are you on speaker fone? No rite? Ok, If you dont have anything today.. U just go back la.. tell Low and u can balik already... "
Me "Nevermind, Low will be alone... "
Boss " Aiyoo biarlah.. he's a man.. baru kawen lagi.. sma boleh!"
Hahaha...
but, I didnt... I feel bad la somehow... maybe esok, I can ask him nak balik awal kan? Tgk la kalau tak sentap!
But my hippie dont lie still sakit la.. adakah, sbb sedih tak dpt beli hippo box aritu? :P Merapu!
Got home, the kitties doing ok, makana masih cukup tapi dah kurang sgt.. Poo poo pun under control.. :) Kemas2 everything and smsed my parents and ckp thanks for having me kat umah dorang.. :)
That reminds me.. my dad tanya mlm... " I know you hate Nok^ia.. pakai pulak.. fone ni best ker?"
Hahahahah...
"No Bah, just because its free and my old fone rosak!"
So far, everythings doing good on my side.. Alhamdulillah.. Always have that positive signs all over my head... :P
Ola, I wanna go rest now.. Amin is on his way back from Penang..!! And we are gonna go eat supper together...
Your baby now weighs approximately 3.75 pounds/ 1.7 kilograms and is about 17 inches/ 42 centimetres long from head to toe. Although his lungs won't be fully developed until just before birth, your little one is inhaling amniotic fluid to exercise his lungs and practise breathing.
Some babies have a head of hair already, others have only a few wisps. Thick hair at birth doesn't necessarily mean thick hair later on but children with fine hair in childhood usually have thinner hair in adulthood.
If your baby is a boy, his testicles should be descending from his abdomen into his scrotum. Sometimes however, one or both testicles won't move into position until after birth. In two-thirds of all baby boys who have undescended testicles at birth, the condition corrects itself by the boy's first birthday.
You're probably gaining a pound/ 450 grams a week, largely because your baby is likely to gain more than half his birthweight during the seven weeks before birth. Make sure you are eating well in these last few weeks.
• Note: Experts say every baby develops differently -- even in utero. These fetal development pages are designed to give a general idea of how a fetus grows in the womb.
I get to go to bed all upset or superly bengang of sumthing...
Arghh... when will this end?
I was on MC yesterday... had a pretty bad backache and the hips pun sakit and its killing me.. hehe.. ok la, not that bad, but still i walk a bit terjongket2... er, somehow, I read bout it tadi... its about time la i shud be sakit2 suma tu.. hmm.. and gosh I was sooooo soo tired... i hardly can sit for long.. I need a place to baring jer... what do u know, I'll reaching my 8th month prenancy this Thursday... Aii aii aii.. time flies huh?
And as my tummy is still small for a 8th month preggy, ppl ASSUME that i am all energetic like how i used to, and even if i 'look' all that... tapi some ppl shud tau la, deep inside, how strong i want myself to be... I get tired easily and cungap2, hips dont lie ni sakit.. ok? So just dont dump me with all the workload and shittss...!
ive also learned to keep my mouth shut... yea yea... i learned this from evaluating some stuff that I have gone thru in a few weeks.. talk means nuthing.. cos, nobody LISTENS..! all they think about is how bad life is to them.. and how great and most importantly is how much they'll gain in doing something... and be all calculative to wat they will loose for doing/not doing something for others...
its a cruel, cruel world we are living out there... - and someone even told me a few months after i got married- to not have kids and bring them into life that is so unfair and 'makin teruk' by day... which I can just whisper to myself, how @#$%#$^ can a person think that way kan? Child are our responsiblity.. as parents to teach and guide them to be a responsible person and hamba Allah.. taat pada ibu bapa, agama, Allah dan kepercayaan... and more! but, lets not go there, thats a different story.. not that I will listen to their advise lagi pun.. :P
with work.. i dun mean to be all negative and shits.. but I kindda got fed up with unfairness.. got a lil tired and semangat that I used to have to wake up in the morning and wanted to be the very best I could.. its all gone.. i dun want to keep blaming the pregnancy hormones.. tapi, issit? Or mmg real that I am tired with what I do?
Ive talked with a few ppl... bout it.. I guess, its not helping la.. coz, I guess, what I did was blah blah blah... complaining...! So here again, I learned to keep it to myself.. not worth it... somehow, ppl will get the wrong impression u know.. cam la org lain takde masalah... so baik je la diam eh?
Anyhow, during Amin's bday.. we went to OU for dinner.. Amira came along.. Amin was still eating.. tapi kedai nak tutup dah.. :P I voluntered to go to the ATM and cucuk duit all by myself..
Other shops were closing too.. so there are a group of ppl, who works together... and ckp bye2 la sesama sendiri... and some just took their time to walk and a guy jalan sgt la cepat.. we both guna jln sama masa tu.. he was rushing.. im guessing nak kejar bas nak balik tu kan.. sgt la cpt dia jalan.. and made me rasa sgt syukur with the work im doing... and the lil life that I have..
Imagine, this guy.. of coz la ada shift kerja kan... kata la pun dia masuk keja at 12pm, and then starts working.. jual baju kan.. everyday almost the same... rite? the ppl that he works with lagi la takde cam the professional levels.. and alot more craps and talking nonsense- being malaysian la kan.. gossip jer ker.. and then ada boss yg sure bising to make sale...! they cant gayut during work time.. nak online lagi jauh kan? how many breaks dia ada? how many hours in the day dia dapat to duduk? kerenah customer yg macam2 and lebih lagi kurang ajar...? at 10pm, he has to rush to get into the bus untuk balik.. kalu tak, kena tunguu ntah baper lama lagi to get another bus... dah sampai umah, rumah pulak ntah camna keadaan...? tau tau jer nak tido... tak sempat apa dah.. and then esok pagi, mungkin menda yg sama lagi... end of the month... kadang2 gaji tak setimpal kerja and masa yg dia korbankan... berapa lama lagi dia nak kerja camni utk hidup dia lebih senang?
Aish... yes, Syukur dengan apa yg kita ada... ngan apa kita lakukan.. Alhamdulillah.. no matter how tired I get with work sometimes.. semuanya masih cukup... tak pernah pulak, tak makan seminggu, mahupun sehari... Alhamdulillah, dengan rezeki ini...
I got a 9-5 job.. have a comfortable car to go and forth to work- theres no need to wait for a bus or depend on anyone to fetch me... house to office is less than half an hour drive.. i get to eat lunch everyday tho the price agak mencekik at times... officemates yg best suka2 gelak... boss who doesnt bising when i come in late or ask me to do more sales.. i get to use the fone and online as much as i can... im able to say anything to defend myself... gaji, alhamdulillah.. makin awal skang.. :P my own desk with my own PC.. freedom of semahyang kat dlm opis, freedom nak lunch baper lama.. freedom utk byk menda sebenarnya.. lets not think of the downside that much... its pretty good already.. :)
Ive learned, again and again... to just keep quiet and count my blessings...
but, of coz, as a human being.. I will keep my options open for something better.. look out for a better position and benefits for myself, family and the lil one...
ive almost sampai to my target on staying in the company for at least two years...
so.. im keeping quiet bout everything thats going on with watever it is in the office.. defending anyone, or apa apa je la.. coz in the end... rasanya... i will be the one yg look bad.. i will be the one with the big mouth.. coz, yeah... word spreadss......... even your only intention is all good... tapi kalau dah berjalan jauh... mau jadi lain... kan? sebab kadang2, when we ckp ngan sorang tu jer, ingatkan hati... antara berdua jer la.. biler dah sampai pulak ke telinga org lain.. agak tension la gak rasanya... so, pasni mmg senyap je la...
my only concern will be my own stuff... and of coz, I will always lend a hand, anytime! but to a certain limit.. ill go MUTE!
till someone listens...
non work related, im tired of giving advises to ppl who ASKED for it.. but never listen.. and come back to me and tell me wat shud they do... oit, penat wey! you ask, i give, u do it again, and back to me listening and keep giving you the same advise...
we are all old enough here... i cant be the one who has to be strong for you.. back u up... give ur ding dong brain a 'buzz' cam kat YM tu everytime you make the same mistake.. ive had it! deal with your own problem yourself...
i used to pick up the fone and call me besties and crrryyyyyyyyy to them pasal apa apa je jadi... be it gaduh ngan bf ker.. apa apa jer.. at some point, I got the hint or terasa sendiri ke...
org takkan nak dgr citer masalah ko yg sama tu je la... and it got me all strong and face everything on my own.. how it will turn up... its my decision... and after all its my life...
no, im not saying that they dont care, coz they do... i will call them up and ask for company... dont talk bout it... just go out and do our thing... crying over it to others, will not help...
just that... i was in the 20s... kalau masih nak depend ngan org... and nangis atas bahu kawan selamanya... hmm.. biler nak kuat?
pick up yourself... and fix the problem.. haf dignity in your own life.. haf some pride in choosing what best for you... not everyone will be able to BE THERE - FOREVER!
