The 23rd week updates

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. I can only promise one update per week, ok?

Next weekend, I'll be going for an Away-Day organized by my beloved HR Division in Swiss Garden Resort, Kuantan. Can't wait! Because it has been loooooong since I last joined such activities. It's a team-building program, so I will have to leave encik Husband at home. He's gonna miss Mama & Baby Girl so much of course. But one thing for sure, dia boleh pergi memukul bola golf atau berfutsal lebih lama daripada biasa sebab tiada gangguan panggilan telefon daripada isteri tercinta atau perlu pulang awal memikirkan Mama & Baby yang menunggu dia pulang untuk tidur bersama. So, bolehlah lepak-lepak minum teh tarik lama-lama sikit, ye sayang? Dun worry, we won't miss checking on you, Papa. Waaahhhh nanti dua malamlah Papa takleh say goodnite to Baby!

Me; on the other hand, am getting fatter each day. Hehe. Luckily, the only part that grows bigger is the stomach. And a bit at the bottom. Hehe. I've already gained 4kgs in two weeks time! Rasanya sesuailah nak dikata sekarang ni saya dah masuk dalam tempoh waktu di mana berat naik dengan mendadak sekali dan Baby membesar dengan jayanya. Baru last week tunduk bawah nak tengok hujung jari kaki boleh nampak lagi. Harini, bila tunduk bawah, dah tak nampak tak jari-jemari tu. Sebab perut dah besar sangat. And I'm really happy for this! Yeay, akhirnya besar jugak perut ni. During the early months, I kept saying to people (especially Aza & Dila in the office) - "Bila nak besar perut aku ni?". Haah, now? Finally bigger than my beloved husband's.

In my one & only maternity blouse

Went out with encik Husband this morning and bought three pair of pants in three colors – orange, purple & pink. At first, I tried on a maternity pants, but it was waayyy too big for me. So, I chose a very comfortable type of cotton pants (not maternity pants), with the biggest size ever = XL. It fits up to my big tummy. Tried on M size = tak boleh zip langsung. L size = boleh zip separuh. I think I will only buy clothes/pants with bigger sizes (tapi masa pregnant ni jelah!) since I can't fit into any maternity clothes/pants. Sebab badan comel sangat. Kesian.. ;-) Ohh please please I hope I can regain my pre-pregnancy shape after giving birth. Baju raya pun belum tempah lagi. My mom dah suruh hantar dulu kain-kain nak dibuat baju ke Kak Maz, our tailor. Dia kata akan pakai ukuran badan before preggie & tambah a few inches here & there. Kalau terbesar ke terkecik, Kak Maz kata dia boleh alter. Yelah, by the time deliver baby, dah end of June. Nanti mana-mana tailor pun dah tak ambil tempahan kan? So, better now than never. Theme color untuk family kecil saya raya tahun ini = PINK.

I have received three wedding invitations for March (all are my JB primary school friends') and an engagement invitation from Cik Fizz. Congrats in advance, lil sis! Now I better find one or two suitable outfits, which can fit this bulging tummy of course, for the purpose of attending such occasions.

Athirah - Aku pun belum dapat Alice lagi till now! Yes, memang yang tinggal either terlalu kecik atau terlalu besar.

Shera - Bilakah hasrat kamu untuk meminjamkan dress comel Jepun tu akan tercapai?

Footnote : Alhamdulillah, I'm still free from stretch marks! (Hopefully it will be like this forever!) Last week during my monthly checkup, the doc even asked me what did I put on my stomach. Hehe. Maybe I'm just lucky that my skin aren't prone to stretch marks. Btw, I'm using Bio-Oil. :-)

While waiting for my husband..

I'm watching tv alone at my MIL's, Mama cooked & we had dinner here earlier. Encik husband has gone out for a game of futsal with his colleagues in USJ - another current favourite pastime besides pukul bola golf two-to-three times every week. Encik husband pun dah jarang jogging on weekends. Perut dia pun dah makin naik. Suka je nak laga perut dengan dia, tengok perut sapa lagi besar.

Baby girl is getting naughtier each day. She LOVES kicking & punching Mummy's tummy few times every single hour! In fact, she has just kicked me two times while I'm typing this. Hehe. :-) Alhamdulillah, Mummy is very glad that you are busily moving around inside there. I really love the feeling! Even when it keeps waking me up at night. Of course, I couldn't find any comfortable sleeping position anymore now, at least for the four-coming months. Oh and yes, finally my husband can feel our little girl's kicks too! I'm happy for your achievement, Sayang! ;-)

My friend, Pn Dila will start her maternity leave next week. She's going to give birth this weekend, insyaAllah. Baby Yusof, pls come out soon ok, jangan tangguh lagi! Her EDD is this Sunday. Good luck, babe! Cuak tak? Muahhahaahha.. Can't wait to receive an SMS from your number - 'Dila dah selamat bersalin etc..'.

I still need/want to :-

1. Find Alice. My feet are hurting me. Or Clarks maybe?
   
2. Buy more maternity clothes & pants.

Ok, till then. Take care guys.

P.s : I have problems with the internet connection during office hours nowadays. Sorry to u guys- our conversations always getting cut off since I constantly being logged out in the middle of our IMs.

21st week updates

My first baby gift!

Last Thursday, I found a small parcel addressed to me in the mailbox. At first, I thot that I finally received the free dolphin from Dumex (for registering as a member of the Mamil Mama Gold Club). When I saw the stamping - royal mail uk or something - I was like 'Waahh Dumex ni post dolphin dari UK ke ape?'. But then I read the sender's name - Nurulhuda Abdul Rahim! I became excited sebab Mama dah dapat agak ape dalam tu!!
Thank you to Auntie Ude for sending the cute two-pieces onesuit all the way from UK! You are soooooooooooooo SWEET ok! Mama & Baby Girl love it very MUCH! So this cutesies officially considered as my first baby gift. Oh baru teringat, I did get a baby gift set from my brother's gf as my wedding present tapi, tu kire hadiah kawenlah kan, bukan hadiah baby.

So now, I'm waiting for another parcel from the perfume maker in France (hehe!) or maybe from the paediatrician in Dublin. Hehehe. :-)

Ayam Penyet, at last..

Encik husband finally brought me to Ayam Penyet Ria in Sunway today for lunch. Lama giler dah tak makan sampai terlupa betapa pedasnya sambal dia sampai tambah order segelas air lagi. Kalah pedas masakan orang Nogori ok!

While we were happily eating, I heard a terrible scream from outside the restaurant, macam suara perempuan gaduh-gaduh, dan rasa macam 'Takutnya ape hal pulak ni!'. Rupa-rupanya ada this one Malay auntie kena ragut betul-betul depan kedai! Encik husband dan beberapa orang yg lain pun sibuk bangun nak pergi tengok. Terus teringat kamu kena ragut Shera, bezanya kamu kat dalam kereta. Lepas tu, keluar dari situ, nak pergi kereta peluk handbag kuat-kuat sambil pandang kiri-kanan. Nasib baik polis pun dah sampai waktu tu. Gilalah peragut tu, tah-tah masa kitorang baru sampai pun, dia tengah ada dok menunggu kat situ. Scary!

Then, we headed to Sunway Pyramid. Wanted to watch Upin & Ipin at first, but seeing the queues & crowd, we just thot takpelah next time aje. Usually we would reserve the tix, tapi sebab dah lama tak mengambil tahu perkembangan tayangan filem-filem di pawagam sejak 2-3 bulan ni, tu yang nak try gamble je tengok apa movie yang ada. Pergi Crocs kat sini pun, Alice dah takde stok. Ke beli online je senang? In the evening, we went to Pak Ngah's house in Damansara for a kenduri tahlil. Met the cousins - Cik Hida & Sarah & the others there too.

Another pic of me (today) in my 21st week. Jeans masih muat tapi takleh zip habis. So, kena pakai baju labuh sikit.
To Pero : Dah balik honeymoon? Kamu kenal pn Shu jugak ke? I knew her from my husband, bestfren encik husband masa sekolah rendah kat Lumut dulu-dulu ni. Hehe.

My weekend

I just cant believe that its already Sunday. Rasa macam baru semalam hari Jumaat drive balik dari ofis. Luckily, workers in KL & Selangor got replacement holiday for Thaipusam tomorrow. So, esok boleh bangun lambat lagi! Which means having breakfast at 10:30am too.

This morning, encik husband made us Telur Arab for breakfast. Saya suka sangat!! Esok nak mintak dia buat lagi. I did a few rounds of laundry after that, and in the afternoon, we went out to Subang Parade (I love Subang Parade!), had a late lunch at Kenny Rogers, bought a very nice blouse & another pair of the comfortable pants, yang setiap kali pergi SP akan beli satu. Next time nak beli kaler biru pulak. I wanted to buy a pair of Crocs, tapi sueded Alice dah takde size saya. :-( Encik husband wanted to buy a pair of futsal shoes since his old ones dah teruk dah, tapi tak jumpa yang berkenan jugak. Btw, I love Subang Parade sebab sangat tak crowded & shops pun banyak jugak yg boleh tahan nak shopping baju. Oh, we also bought a few pairs of clothes, mittens & bootees for baby too!

Later around 5.30pm, we went to visit Mummy Aien & Baby Mukhlis at their house. Baby Mukhlis sangat comel & kecikkkk! Tapi, berat baby masa lahir 3.05kg tau. According to the parents, Mukhlis is a very good baby & tak banyak meragam. Tadi masa sampai rumah Aien, baby tengah syok tidor. And Encik Yuzi pun nampaknya tak kekok pun pegang baby. Congrats again to Aien & Yuzi. Can't wait for our turn!

The beautiful baby Mukhlis

Banyak juga dapat cerita & tips from Aien tadi. Teruja sangat nak baby girl keluar cepat-cepat dari perut Mama. Nanti boleh kawan dengan abg Mukhlis ok? :-)

Ok, this is me in my 5th month at 50kgs.
Sekarang baju & seluar semua size M (Shera, take note!)

Footnote : Baby is actively kicking at night, especially when Mama & Papa watches Prison Break.

Finally

Ok.

I miss blogging! & bloghopping! and most of all, I miss catching up with guys pleaseeeeeee! I tend to get tired easily these days, kadang-kadang rasa semput je. Dan macam dah rasa-rasa tendangan baby girl dalam perut ni. Sekali je last weekend masa tengah baring tunggu nak lelap dapat rasa ala-ala taekwondo kick 3 kali! Cepatlah baby besar, mama dah tak sabar nak jumpa baby! Boleh tak tak sabar? I still have FOUR months to go!

Oh ye, a few good news I heard from a few friends today. Opsss, ada dua orang rakan seperjuangan di universiti yang sudah 'naik pangkat' sama dengan saya - become mommy-to-bes for a few weeks already. InsyaAllah, bila dah dipermit untuk menghebahkan berita gembira ni, bakal saya hebahkan di sini. I'm verryyyy happy for you guys, Alhamdulillah. Oh dan ada seorang lagi yang masih samar-samar dan akan diketahui beberapa hari lagi. So, to u-know-who-u-are, how is it? ;-)

I would like to say BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Mama Aien+Papa Yuzi for their newborn, Mohd Mukhlis. Encik husband & I are planning to give them a visit this weekend, kasi rehat seminggu dulu Mama Aien tu nanti baru boleh layan bakal mama nak tanya macam-macam ni pasal experience dia bersalin. Pn Dila (she's due anytime) pun dah mula rasa sakit-sakit nak bersalin ni. Kalau dia sakit-sakit nak bersalin kat ofis best gak, boleh buat rombongan hantar kat hospital. Hehehe. Tak sabar!

This weekend, my dear friend, Cik Aisyah Fairuz (Pero) is getting hitched to his Anuar Zain celup (series muka Anuar Zain!). To you my loyang, congratulations & I pray for your lifetime happiness with the husband, InsyaAllah. I have mailed something to you (hadiah kahwin tunggu ko balik Nogori dulu) and fyi, aku baru bukak hadiah yang seberapa tu lepas Maghrib tadi, boleh tak? Thanks so much babe! Maafkan aku kerana tak dapat menghadirkan diri ke kenduri kahwinmu hujung minggu ini.
Gambar di zaman anak dara; Mizah - Pero - Emma - Melissa. Konon-konon Ratu Kebaya laa time ni.

Esok malam, encik husband akan bermain futsal bersama rakan-rakan. Friday nite, besar kemungkinan dia akan bermain badminton di Putrajaya (harap-harap jadi!) sebab saya nak ikut!!

Rasa macam banyak lagi nak update, but I'm not good at summarizing too many stories in one entry. :-)

P.s : To my dear tax consultant who will be getting another portion of your bonus, could you kindly save some of it (hahaha!) for the baby girl, boleh sayang? Rather than buying THAT?? Hehe.
P.s.s : My dear sis cik Erin Adnan, kindly re-invite me to your baby blog, pls? hamizahrazak@gmail.com ok?
P.s.s.s : Pn Businesswoman Anem, Cik Melissa Perfume Maker & Cik Thir Engineer Kapal Titanic - update please. Tuan Doktor Shu, basuh kaki before tidor tau!

Baby said : Dear Aunties all around the world, Mama read all your guys' blogs today and said that she misses each one of you & she wishes all aunties the best of health.. Muuaaahhhhh!!

Footnote : Perut Mama dah gatal-gatal sebab dah makin membesar dan meregang, tapi belum nampak stretch marks. Harap-harap takde, ngeri gak ni..
