Some update
On my way to work this morning, received an sms from one of my bestest friend, Pam. She has finally given birth after 17hrs of labour! Baby weighs 3.7kg! That's HUGE for a petite girl like her! Can't wait to visit her and the baby soon. :)
On another note, I realised that we're into our 26th day of fasting! How time flies! The holy month of Ramadan will be leaving us soon :( but I'm still grateful that I've been able to fast steadily (except for the 1 day due to heartburn). I'll be 6mths come next week and I've outgrown all my pants & such. Last Tues, I went shopping for some bottoms at Mothers En Vogue @ Delfi and Mothers Work @ Forum ... sib baik lar these shops are nearby to my workplace .. HEH.
Oh yes, some of you guys had requested for my latest pics (suka kan korang nak tengok badan ako yg semakin mengembang nie! :p) ... hmm ... korang tunggu aje la eh for the gambo raya nanti ... insyaallah i'll post them here. Ooohhh yesteday my sista passed me the zakat money that I ask her to change. Jgn marah eh ... new plastic notes hokay! So duit zakat - DONE. I've yet to buy kain samping for Anaqin tho', thought of goin to Geylang this Fri after work to find it (God help me!) I hvnt step into the bazaar Geylang. Wonder if I'll survive the crowd and such!..BLUEK! I've yet to collect my baju kurung & Anaqin's. Will do so this Sat. Darl's 2 pasang baju kurung da siap bergantung dlm wardrobe :)
What else eh for the raya preparation? ... Oh cookies! This time round, I only made the kuih makmur, the rest of the kuihs are done by mom & the helper. Tu pon mcm nak patah pinggang ako dok berjam-jam mengetip tu kuih. Ish! This coming Sunday, I intend to make Kek Batik and either Cheesecake or Marble Cake for the house & for MIL. Mom has volunteered to make the Kek Kukus so tak yah lah ku sibok nak mengacau tu gula hangus into the batter! I tell you ... it's Hard work babe! Apart from that I think everything is done lah. Cuma nak kemas2 skit, pasang new curtains & bedspread. But all that must be done on Raya eve, baru semangat! Mom told us that this year she'll just order the ketupats..ala tak best la camnie..baru nak polish skill menganyam ketupat. Tapi acturi bagui jugak la, kalau tak nak menganyam nye satu, nak isi beras nie lagik, nak merebus lagik..fuyooohhh takes time I tell you!
Ok lah enuff of my rambling. Will try to update again before Raya. In the meantime, selamat menjalani ibadah puasa yeah kawan-kawan ku! :D

Of Heartburns & Heartache
On Wednesday morning, I woke up to a tight chest and a slight difficulty to breathe. Even trying to turn to the other side of the bed and getting up seemed so difficult. I'm experiencing one of the worst heartburns! Realised that I'm not in a fit state to go to work therefore I sms my bozz to let her know that I'm not coming to the office and will be seeing a doctor. I've only got 1 miserable MC left for the year (!) but I guess this is something serious and cannot be taken lightly so off I went to see the doc.
Before I left the house, I broke my fast and drank a mug of hot milo. Doc told me that there's a lot of acid in my tummy and advise me to stay away from spicy food for the time being. Oh yes, stress can also trigger a heartburn.
Later at night Anaqin plak kena diarrhea! Dunno what was it that he's eaten. My poor boy had a go every 1-2hrs! He woke up several times at night as his tummy hurts whenever he need to poo and his bum was all red and swollen due to the frequent pooing. My heart ached so much seeing him crying in pain! How I wished I could take it all from him and bear it myself :(
The next morning, darl called me in the office and told me that he's decided to bring Anaqin to see the pediatrician as his diarrhea is not getting any better. The pediatrician advise to stop giving his normal milk formula and gave him a tin of mamex lactose free formula for the time being. She also gave some antibiotics, wash and antiseptic cream for his bum.
As predicted he wouldnt take the lactose free formula. Nak tak nak, I told the helper to make his usual milk formula but dilute it. Only put 1 scoop instead of 3 scoops of milk powder. Baru la dia nak minum his milk. Though his bowels are not so frequent now, he still cried whenever he poo and whenever we wash him coz his bum is still red. At night, he eventually drank the lactose free milk. He woke twice to poo and that's about it. Alhamdulillah.
He woke up asking for milk before I left for work this morning. Told the helper to give him the lactose free milk and he drank it again! Good boy! I've yet to call home to check on his latest condition but hopefully he's on the road to speedy recovery...insyaallah.

And the baby's gender is .....
Went for my monthly check-up yesterday and as usual it was crowded. After registering myself, took my weight (gained 1kg alhamdulillah), took the blood pressure and the urine test, off we went to SMR Maid Agency to renew my helper's work permit. I didnt know that the agency had moved from Kembangan Plaza to somewhere near Mak's place so we made our way there since we've got time to kill.
All the staff at the agency are Malay and friendly..nice! And the cost for the renewal of work permit?..a mere $65 compared to the other agencies that can charge up to $150!
It was finally my turn to see the doc. Baby wasn't really active in the tummy while we're doing the scanning, al-maklom lar mommy posa, baby pon posa jugak kan!..ehehe. But alhamdulillah, baby has gained weight from 187g @ 17 weeks to 390g @ 21 weeks! I raised my concern abt not feeling baby's movement yet .. just fluttering movements once in a while. Doc told me not to worry and to expect to feel the full blown kicks and movements in the next few weeks to come. :)
The result of the compulsory blood test and the optional triple test are out too. Alhamdulillah everything is fine except that my white blood cells are slightly high than normal. Therefore in my next visit, doc will have to take a swab from my vagina for further test. He said there's nothing to worry, as my urine test has been clear so far. He said it might be some minor vaginal infection due to the change of hormones in the body system.
Ok back to the soalan cepu emas..the question that have been running thro ur head..am I expecting a baby boy or baby girl? I'll tell u the answer..right after the commercial break!..ahahahaha..allalalalala..
Ok ok serious now..I am expecting a playmate for Anaqin..which means this playmate gets to use Anaqin's pre-loved baby clothes & other stuff, gets to play Anaqin's toys and read Anaqin's books! So in another words, I'm expecting a boy!! ahahaha..most of guys guessed wrong kan! :p
I know I may sound like a sour grape here but I've always preferred boys to girls. However, I think the husband is a tad dissapointed. Since I've told him before that I wanna stop @ two, he's pleading with me to try for another one, hoping that it will be a girl the next time round. Ish akak nie blom lagik terberanak, da nak ckp pasal another baby. I just told him, we'll see how it goes lah!
Ok there you have it, a long long entry from your's truly on a Sunday afternoon. Till I blog again..tata..
