Brief Update

Hi all, it's been 6 days since the absence of my helper and I'm proud to say that everything is going smoothly..alhamdulillah! Here's a brief recap of what happpened last week.

Thurs - Met MK for lunch @ Shaw House. We had LJS. It's been quite sometime since we last catch up on each other. Thou it was a brief one, it was great. And thanks babe for the animals jigsaw that you bought for Anaqin. He simply loves it thou he needs my help in assembling the jigsaw.

Fri - Went off from work early @ 3.45pm and headed straight to the airport to send off my helper. We brought Anaqin along and as expected he cried upon seeing her entered the gate. Darl brought him downstairs and ended up buying the huge M&M chocolate figure where you can put the M&M chocs into it - just to bribe him. At night he asked for his bibik several times and we distracted him with something else.

Sat - Alhamdulillah, he longer asked for his bibik. Let Anaqin bathe in his bathtub ... filled it up with bubbly water and dunked some of his rubber animals together into the tub. He loves it and at times refused to get out from the tub. EHE. The rest of the day was spent watching tv together, hving our meals together, and cleaning up the room together. Precious bonding time indeed!

Sun - Went to my cousin's daughter wedding @ Marsiling with the rest.

Mon - Did the laundry, changed the bedspread despite my tummy feeling real down. I had to practically hold the right side of my tummy while walking coz it's just too straining. I'm so desperate for a massage right now but the makcik urut is busy lah. Oh btw yours truly is now in her final lap of pregnancy! Touched my 7th month mark last Wed! Yipeeee. How exciting! Just 3 more months or so before the baby boom! Something cocked up at work and my boss wanted me to come back tmrw to settle some stuff! How typical! I can never hv my leave in peace!

Tue - Brought Anaqin along to the office in the morning. Called for a cab as it had started to rain. Thankfully Anaqin was well behaved and just sat beside me scribbling on the papers that I gave him and reading his book that he had brought along. He didnt mind when some of my colleagues carried him around :) Spent abt 2 hours or so settling some work stuff before heading home.

Wed - Mimi turned 17 today while Anaqin turned 27mths today! Had a little cake cutting for Mimi at night. Anaqin pon sama sibok nak blow the candles and cut the cake. HEH! Oh btw Mak managed to call Cik Aisah (the makcik urut) and I've fixed an appointment with her this Sunday morning for the urut session. Oh my, I so can't wait for it!

Well that's abt it for now. Will try to update again when time permits.

Her Home Leave

My helper's going on her home leave this Friday and boy am I worried coz Anaqin is so attached to her. I wonder how he'll take her absence for 10 days!

I'm still contemplating on whether to bring Anaqin along to the airport to send her off or not. Some peeps advised me to just bring him so that he'll know that the helper's gone for a while and won't keep on looking for her whilst some advised me against it coz takut dia melalak plak.

Haizzzz...fening kapala dibuatnye. Darl suggested that we go for a short getaway to keep Anaqin's mind off the helper. We're thinking of going to Turi Beach or worse to worse JB or Malacca. I think all of us deserved a short trip even if it's for a few days. We'll see how it goes.

M.O.M.O.K

When I came back from work last nite, Mak told me that Anaqin dragged my helper into my Mak's room (time mahgrib) and told her "Mak, mak, ader momok dalam bilik mummy!" "Mak come lah!" My mak patted him and told him "Alah momok tu tak kacau lah, takpe nanti mak sholat so the momok will go away ok?" Anaqin just nodded his head.

I thought that was the end of it but I was wrong! Anaqin drifted off to dreamland while watching tv and that was like 9pm. His bedtime is normally at 10 plus. He slept throughout the night but around 1 plus he soon got restless. Refused to drink his milk and kept snuggling to me while covering his face and peeping through this blanky to look at the windows. My bed is facing directly towards the windows and the curtains are wide open. The windows were closed tho coz the room is air-conditioned. Anaqin then patted me and whispered to me ... "Mummy, Akin scared la ... nak kuar ... then pointed towards the door." To be frank I wasn't even scared, in fact I was angry at whateva THING(S) that was disturbing my son! Anaqin soon started crying and asked for his Daddy who's not back from work yet. I've got no choice but to bring him out to the living room. He then suggested that he wanted to watch Gromit. Brought him back to the room. Drew all the curtains and on the cartoon.

Anaqin soon got restless and asked for his daddy again. Called darl and he spoke to Anaqin. Kesian plak biler tengok airmata dia meleleh when talking to the daddy. He kept saying "Daddy cepat lah balik, Akin scared lah." Darl came back ard 3 plus and upon seeing his daddy, Anaqin terus nangis konon mengadu nasib la tu. Darl told me to go back to sleep and he took over taking care of Anaqin. I don't know what time the duo finally fell asleep but I certainly hope that Anaqin won't encounter the same experience again tonite..erm today malam jumaat babe.. HEH.

Gain IQ vs Friso 3

It's been nearly a month since I changed Anaqin's milk formula from Gain IQ to Friso 3. And we're loving it! We can now say goodbye to constipation (for Anaqin) and expensive milk formula (for me)!

I'm now thinking of putting my little bun on Friso too (if I fail to breastfeed).

Nasty Bug

Had the symptoms on Thursday. Got worse yesterday. Runny nose plus cough. And since Anaqin too showed signs of getting the nasty flu bug, off we went to see a doctor yesterday morning at the Tampines 24hrs clinic. Was attended by Dr. Jazlan who prescribed some mild medications for me. Anaqin too was given some medications to stop the flu. Was given 1 day MC for Monday.

Took the medications and off to lala land. Woke up feeling groggy and all. Anaqin's body temperature seemed to rise a little. Gave him the flu and fever medicine. Later in the evening, took another dosage of medicine and slept again.

This morning, woke up feeling slightly better but not fully recovered so sms my boss to let her know abt my condition. Anaqin on the other hand was feeling much better. Alhamdulillah! Right now i'm resting at home in a cool rainy weather.

Oh yeah, i need to purchase a ticket for my helper for her home leave this coming 24 Nov. Once this is done, baru la bleh tido lagik. What a bliss...erm minus the nasty bug of course.

The Result

I just had a call from Dr. Aziz's clinic. The result of my vaginal swab is out and it's negative of any bacteria and such. Syukur alhamdulillah!! However I did informed the nurse that I had stopped spotting on Friday however, I spotted again last nite. This afternoon when I checked again, the spotting has stopped tho'. She told me to finish the antibotics given and monitor the spotting. However, I should be alarmed and seek medical help immediately if the bleeding turns bright red. Due the spotting I had last nite, I took a cab to work this morning. And I think I should go out from my house earlier than usual so that I can take my time to walk slowly instead of the brisk walking that i always do. For now, I can only pray to HIM to give me the strength to go thro' the rest of the pregnancy smoothly and let the baby inside me grow healthily without any complications. Insyaallah.

Liyana's 1st Birthday Celebration

It was an impromtu birthday celebration for Liyana's 1st birthday. Was held at my sista's place where she invited family & some friends over for a little celebration.

Spotting Again

I had spotting again on Tuesday while at work. Shocked when I saw my pantyliner drenched in light brown stains. It got me worried when the spotting went on for the rest of the day, followed by light tummy cramps. Rested with my feet up for while but it didnt help that much.

After work had a farewell dinner for Charissa with the rest of the gang @ Newton Food Centre. Food was delicious but I could'nt eat much as my tummy was slightly churning.

Woke up the next morning for work but changed my mind when I realised that I was still spotting. Sms my boss abt it. Called the clinc first before heading there, in case the doctor won't be ard. Met Dr. Aziz, told him my condition, did the scanning. Cervix is still closed, placenta not low, baby not touching the placenta. Alhamdulillah. Doc took a swab of the brown discharge for further investigation at the lab. He suspected that I might have some vaginal infection. I asked how serious will it be. He said some can be treated easily by antibotics where else some serious ones might lead to baby having breathing problems when born. Ya allah! Kecut perot sekejapan!

I was given 3 days MC to have plenty of rest and some antibotics for consumption. Up to date, I'm still spotting light brown discharge. I can just hope and pray for the best for the well being of myself and the little one inside me...insyaallah.
