Babies

My sleepless nights have crept back again.Though I'm tired and sleepy,I'd be waking up several times in a night for no rhyme or reason,then it'd be difficult for me to fall back to sleep.I'd be looking at hubby fast asleep (oh how I envy him)....then I'd turn to the other side and watch my son sleeping soundly.Sigh....By the time it's morning,I'd be like a zombie.And when noon comes,I'd be all ready to sleep again.

I don't like this feeling of fatigue at all and I hope it'd go away soon (2 weeks till my first trimester is over!).Anyway,I was soooooo excited to meet my gynae.We even reached the clinic at 10 minutes after 11 when my appointment is at 11.45.My son was exploring all over the clinic of course,so his daddy was anxious to get this done and over with.

It was finally my turn.....and I was grinning like a Cheshire cat when my eyes met this.....



That's my baby right there! : )

Baby's 10 weeks now....and she/he woke up and stretched her/his hands when we were doing the scan,as if waving hello!We could see its heart beating,legs,hands and all.This may be our second baby,but we are both as excited as when we first laid our eyes on our first baby.

Now,I'm counting down the days till my next appointment....in 5 weeks.....can't wait to see how much my baby would have grown.

We received another baby news today.Our friends Liz and Fendy have just welcomed their second baby...a cute,chubby girl (who looks exactly like her sister!).We were itching to visit them (Alhamdulillah both mummy and child are fine) so off we went to KK Hospital in the afternoon.I picked up their baby girl and ooohhhh,I couldn't put her back in her cot.She cuddled nicely next to my bosom and I kept looking and kissing her!I told hubby I'm just soooooooo excited for OUR baby to be born.I don't miss the labour of course,but I'd love to have my newborn baby in my arms soon.

It's all a crazy thought....I have to wait patiently till December or January to see her/him!

Oh,and a huge congratulations to Fendy and Liz!!! Liz,welcome to my club...hehe....

P.S. In all my excitement,I have apparently forgotten to take a photo or two of their baby.Duhh...

Feeling better now.....

A lot of stuff has happened since I last blog.Hmmm...where do I start?

Well,I had been feeling lousy past few days...fatigue and laziness to the max.I'm feeling sooo much better now,alhamdullilah.There was a day sometime last week that I saw stars in the day!Yup,I was washing some dishes when suddenly I saw stars everywhere.I was like,oh oh....what's going on?!I was worried that I might faint,especially when there's no one else at home except me and the little one.A thumping headache ensued so I quickly get my son into the room.Put on Hi-5 for him while I laid on the bed.When the headache didn't go away,I popped some panadols....which about 15 minutes later,came out in a very messy way!Ohhhh you can't imagine what it tasted like having mashed up panadol crawled back up in your throat.Yuck!That was the first time I threw up during this pregnancy.I guess I didn't take a good breakfast and whatever else that I consumed later on an empty stomach,couldn't stay in.Same theory during my first pregnancy.....

Anyway,my sweet sister-in-law came by my place later on,bringing me some yummy tomato rice!That definitely brought a smile to my face.....

On a low note,an uncle of mine passed away a week or so ago.I was with my son at the playground when I got the news.A part of me felt a tinge of regret for not being able to visit him in the hospital before.I only knew then that he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

That night,I saw his face in my head.His laughter and his voice....He was a nice man,who took care of his family and often has a smile on his face.I saw him for the last time the next morning....I cried when I saw my aunt and I couldn't help my tears when I saw him.Looking at my aunt,I wondered how she was feeling then....to lose your loved one,your friend,your strength,your husband of many wonderful years....to know that you can't see,hear,touch,smell,feel him again.....waking up not having him beside you....It's so hard,but this is Allah's will....and I hope that she would be granted with much strength and patience.Insya Allah.

The past few days had crawled on slowly for me.Yup,darling hubby's away on a business trip again.Korea,this time.But just in a few hours,my son and I would be jumping for joy cause he'll be back!My baby has been calling out for him so much....each time the door opened or the doorbell rang,he'd think it was his dad.He'd looked for him on the bed in the mornings cause his daddy always give him his baths.Poor baby,he must have missed him a lot (so do I!boo hoo!).

Before hubby's next trip to New Zealand end of this month (dear,I wanna go too!!!!),we'd better have tons of fun.....like the roadtrip we are taking soon!Can't wait!!!I want to eat lots of yummy seafood!
