40weeks: Cuti sampai beranak..

Aku amik annual leave 2 hari dari Rabu hari tu.

And since last wk, i had very bad pedal/ankle oedema..
Balik shopping barang kat Tesco on Tuesday, ankle bengkak sama besa dgn betis... Huwarghhh...
Now duduk2 je kat rumah pon still bengkak!
Nak jalan byk, SP ku masih sakit kalau aktif2 sgt...

So, hari ni ada checkup lagi. Masih blom beranak.
Baby still tinggi.
Cervix still not favourable.
Scan ok, AFI still ok (around 10-11 kot kalau x silap prof ckp td).. Cuma placenta nmpk ada sikit calcification -- erghh..

I gained another kg oh noooo .
Baby gained another 100g.. Amboiii berlawan2 ek baby...
BP, urine semua ok.

Prof x keen nak induce, aku pon x berani nak insist suruh induce.
Nxt appointment on thursday, sbb friday Prof takde, meaning if by thursday aku x beranak, isnin baru nak induce????! Ya Allah tu dah 2/7/12.. Aku dah 41w+2days... O.o
Biar benar!!!

Hope baby tak tunggu lama sangat baby... Boleh la keluar nxt wk ekkkkk... Please please please.... T_T

Btw, prof bagik MC sampai khamis...

Pape pon, aku depressed lah mcm ni!!

Esok bday Ayish, kan best if beranak esok, sama bday baby dgn abang ayish nnt...

Ya Allah, permudahkan kelahiran baby ku nanti.. Ameennn...

ANC @39wks

oh yes, baby masih belum mau keluar...

last week, mmg pujuk jangan keluar dulu sbb mummy nak attend Bengkel 'Good Clinical Practise' dari 11/6 sampai 13/6... tambah plak daddy pon ada Kem PPD kat Ulu Seperi, N9 sampai 14/6...
And baby baik, mmg ikut cakap la, tak keluar time tu...

so, last Friday check up lagi dgn Prof Azurah... dia pon terkejut kot tgk tak beranak lagi huhuhu...

this time:

BP: 100/60
Weight: suda naik 20kg from pre-pregnancy weight aiyokk.... mmg suda kena beranak ni!!! sebab nye naik 2kg/2minggu -- ini sangat tidak bagus!!! *cry*
Previous pregnancies, naik 22-23kg (fr pre-preggy weight) masa last check-up b4 beranak... memang la macam kurang naik dari dulu2, tp dulu2 acik mudo.. la nih dah tuo... pre-preggy weight pon mmg dah berat isk isk isk...
Urine: leukocyte 1+


baby plak scan, sume ok, cuma estimated weight sudah 3.6kg la baby... alamak... naper besar sgt ni???

Prof buat VE -- cervix still not favourable -- iskk kalo tak mmg mintak induce dah... tak sanggup mak!! sakit kat symphysis pubis ni pon memang mengganggu jiwa huhuhu... hari sebelum tu amik EL- rest kat rumah (nak gi clinic amik MC pon tak larat sbb kesakitan), so hari tu mintak gak MC... too bad ANC ku hari jumaat, kalo tak mmg mintak sambung 2-3 hari MC :P

Pastu buat CTG -- semua ok, contraction pulak, pagi2 ni mmg malu2 nak contract... time petang/malam la baru nak active contraction bagai... so takde pape, bleh balik...

Charge kali ni plak, memula budak tu mintak RM120, pastu ckp ada GL, bila dia check2, dia ckp, "ok tak yah baya.." --> ehh pulak... selalu ada gak charge dalam RM30-50... tak paham la aku... kejap kena charge kejap takyah...

balik rumah, aku & DH buat plan nak gi makan sedap... hehehhe... kat mana?? nanti lah citer kat entry lain... :P

ANC @ 37 weeks

last Friday was my 3rd ANC in UKMSC...
this time berdebar lebih sikit sbb nak scan baby and tgk dia dah pusing ke belum...

we arrived around 8.20am, registered and my turn no. 5.
went to have my urine, BP & weight checked.
if ANC, mmg aku tak breakfast dulu..

BP: 100/56 mmHg
PR: 81 bpm
urine: leukocyte 1+, nitrite nil, glucose nil, protein 1+ ===>>  but prof decided not to do anything yet, as BP was normal, and only asked me to drink plenty of water.

Weight: instead of gaining, i lost 600g fr last week's weight... maybe sbb puasa 2 hari dalam minggu tu kot... :D -- tu 1st time sepanjang 4x preggy weight turun instead of naik hehehhe...


then, dlm 8.45am, masuk jumpa Prof.
scanned and alhamdulillah, the head is down :happy dance:
patut lah macam rasa 'active movement' kat bahagian atas, ingat kan kuat menumbuk, rupanye kuat menyepak!!

and ukur2 parameters -- estimated fetal weight now suda jadik 3.3kg huhuhu... serem nihhh...
prof explained, last week dia breech, measurement maybe tak accurate, and with subsequent babies, mmg expected baby makin lama makin besar huhuhu lagi la ai seremmm nih... takpe lah, pape pon janji baby sihat & dipermudahkanNya...

pastu, prof cakap, next whole week dia ada kat Kuching. If i go into labour, Dr. Yuli akan cover (sib baik doctor fomfuan gaks)..

next appointment is 15.6.12 -- or PAC if in labour...

pastu aku just bgtau lately the contraction agak tak selesa (bukan sakit) tp more intense than Braxton Hicks and sampai keliling pinggang. Selalu happened in the evening/at night. Contoh nye hari sebelum, sepanjang driving balik for 20mins, aku dapat 3-4x contraction yang menangkap pinggang...

So she suggested a CTG for around 20mins, ok lah, pasrah je...
Nurse (ke PK?? sbb uniform mcm PK kalau kat wad bawah).. pasangkan dalam 9.15am and janji dtg tgk pukul 9.30am.
Datang tgk, kertas CTG tu tak berjalan... ohh aku sabar lagi... so dia suruh buat lagi 15mins, orang lain pulak datang tgk, this time, the detector utk contraction pulak tak detect... adohaii mengong betul... adjust lagi, suruh buat lagi...

hmm camwhoring gamba tgh buat CTG.. sejam kena tunggu, penat weih... tp best sbb bleh rehat2 hihihi...

ini worang saje je tayang milo 'free' dia... mentang2 ai tgh terbaring, nak sip pon tak dapek... takpe takpe... ada lori ada bas....

nilah mesin CTG tu... no merah tu is baby's heartrate, yang hijau tu contraction.. nilah yang lepas first half an hour yang tak jadik gak tu sbb contraction x leh detect...



Lepas tu, aku yang adjust sendiri esp time contraction, sbb b4 tu mmg even time contraction, paling tinggi pon reading was 30-35... padahal contraction kuat. SO last cycle tu, tiap kali contraction aku adjust and the reading mmg up to 65-69... ouchhh!!! But baby's heartbeat OK je...

Dekat sejam lah aku buat CTG.. ciss..!! (rasa tu je satu disadvantage kat atas tu -- staff tak trained sgt utk keje2 mcm tu esp the new staff!! @_@)

Then tunggu prof review the CTG, prof cakap ok, takde pape kalau ada pape, kena buat VE erghhh ai tak ready lagi you huhuhu

mintak MC, so terus balik... singgah BTR, brunch, then balik rumah rehat2 je....

kesian lah budak2 ni, dah seminggu cuti sekolah tak ke mana2 pon... nak buat camane, tak larat la mummy nak berjalan sgt... *sorry kiddoes*

ANC at 36 wks

last week, 2nd ANC in UKMSC.

Mummy:
weight: Gained 3.2kg for the last 6 wks -- rasa ok, sbb 1.2kg wnet to baby hehehhe boleh tak pikir gitu?? :P
BP: 105/59
HR: 84bpm
urine: clear

Baby:
Estimated fetal weight (EFW): 2.7kg (from last 1.5kg at 30wks gestation)
other parameters on scan: normal
Position: breech (adoiii apsal tak pusing2 lagi baby... kepala still at the same position as 6 weeks ago.. beriye la ingat dah pusing sbb movement byk rasa kat atas ;'(

So, Prof cakap, kena check/scan lagi next week, if still breech, kena admit for ECV (externak cephalic version).

Possibilities are:

A) successfully turned head down -- i can wait for spontaneous vaginal normal delivery

B) not successful (na'uzubillah) --

1. opt for elective C-section -- either immediately or at later date
2. wait for him to turn and spontaneous labour ensues -- might be breech vaginal delivery (erkk.... fanic) or if fails, emergency C-section.

both option B are not favourable... ;'(


My plan:

Will agree to ECV -- pray hard he'll turn and wait for normal delivery *all fingers crossed*

if no turning, i'll opt for elective c-sect but maybe later at 39 wks??? ohhhh.... takut nye nak fikir... kena prepare mental, physical and duit  huhuhu...

my friends suggest macam2...

* exercise with gym ball - http://www.spinningbabies.com/techniques/activities-for-fetal-positioning/birth-balls -- aku dah gi pinjam gym ball Farid, tp belom inflate and try lagi, sbb wknd tak dok rumah..

* this website suggest macam2 -- http://spinningbabies.com/baby-positions/breech-bottoms-up/305-body-work-for-breech --> forward-leaning inversion, breech-tilt and macam2...
-- aku ada try forward-leaning inversion... tak sure betul ke tak position tu... usaha je lah apa yang boleh...

* ada jugak yang cakap minum air kelapa lah, minum minyak kelapa lah... aku? air kelapa ok lagi, minyak kelapa?? erkk... tak tertelan kot.. sabtu tu, ku bedal sebiji air kelapa (tp kelapa agak tua ciss)..



apape pon, doa banyak2, cakap dgn baby suruh pusing baik2... and semoga dipermudahkan semua nyaa... doa kan aku & baby ye... thank you very much... muahhhss....

#4: Check up at UKMSC

At 30w+6d baru aku start check up kat private wing @UKMSC under Prof Azurah... sebelum ni kat public clinic kat bawah je. Takde la susah sgt pon kat bawah tu, sbb aku follow up dgn specialist. Ambik no selalu dapat la no 2 atau 3 (aku datang awal mcm patients biasa utk dapat no giliran). Cuma kalau lewat sangat, aku balik ofis dulu buat kerja, then datang balik bila doctor dah masuk. Tentang appointment klinik mmg takde masalah, cuma kali ni rasa nak bersalin dengan consultant. Kalau public patients selalu bersalin je dengan midwives or any doctors in charge.

kali ni tekad lah nak try bersalin private gak.. walaupon labour room nnt sama, tp Prof sendiri akan deliver kan baby and insyaAllah dapat dok single room kat Wad Khas.. Wad biasa sekarang, takleh nak bagi single room walaupon staff sbb mmg utk isolation room. Rasa nye nak selesa elok la dapat bilik sendiri, toilet dekat bagai... and tambah plak kakak & abang2 yang ramai, sure meriah nak melawat baby nnt...

InsyaAllah GL UKM bleh cover bilik, so bayar consultation and consultant services je lah, ok lah, ready lah beberapa ratus kot kalau normal delivery... harap2 semua ok..

Ni first time pon masuk dalam Klinik Khas ni.. lepas register, check urine, BP & weight, macam biasa lah.. Prof datang around 8.45 kot. lepas tu tunggu dalam setengah jam kot, sampai giliran (giliran no 4, tp ada patient no.2 tatau kat mana, tu yang cepat sikit sbb skip). Prof checked and scanned sekali, semua OK alhamdulillah... estimated baby's weight 1.44kg (naik 110g in 1 week?)

all parameters are within expected age. [[FL (femur length) 28w je baby?? ketot kah baby ku?? hahhaha... tp tu ada allowances +/-2 wks so ok kot... ]]

btw, baby masih oblique, kepala kat kanan atas, kaki elok landing kiri bawah... tp not to worry sbb masih awal... placenta semua ok... alhamdulillah

dah sudah tu, terus tunggu untuk bayar, and kena RM68.50 --->> murah tu for consultations and ultrasound (disclaimer: that is not the actual charges i presumed. I am PPUKM staff so, i maybe discounted and i have GL that may cover some charges. Kalau anda berminat nak follow up di UKMSC, sila bertanya kan charges yang sebenar untuk public)

**entry hanye suka2 utk info sendiri di masa hadapan....**

21 weeks

this week baby is 21 weeks old...

it kicks mummy real hard and golek2 happily inside...

alhamdulillah i have no more sickness at any time.. i can cook as usual... i can sit and sew for hours (and complained of backache later)....

i sleep well (except for few sleepless nights during holidays due to sewing -- tu sendiri carik pasal!!), baby not bothering mummy much at night (err not yet i believe, but i pray she (at this point consider it is SHE je lah hahahhahah we still donno the gender!!) will behave well, intrauterine and postnatally insyaAllah...

i am on Obimin, but missed most of my pills (err i always missed 'em in the morning so i changed my dose at night, still not compliant la aiyoo... how ni??)

still no cramping at night (but i do experience this 'pre-cramping' episodes, so i better start taking my calcium now... it really painful if it occurs huhuhu)..

apa lagi?? i'm quite busy at work preparing for students' exam questions and vetting (erkk i have tonnes of datelines huwarghhh) but as usual i'm a BIG procrastinator!!! isk...

now busy mau sewing plak.. isk isk isk..

ok, back to baby's story -- i'll scan the baby again in a month time i think.. but am still in dilemma whether to choose to continue my ANC in private wings or not... gotta choose a consultant for that matter... female OBGs are very limited aiskkk... but DH insisted to get female OBG, of cos laa... but i do prefer an experienced one, male or female (preferably female la!) hmm gotta think and rethink, consider and reconsider again and again...

happy father's day

tajuk entry hampir sume orang utk hari ni...

nway, takde celebrate pape, but may i claimed the lunch that i cooked this afternoon specially for my DH can be considered as celebration?? err more like appreciation rather than celebration ehhh...
masak "ikan siakap masam2 manis", banyak kali la DH ku menambah, tp dia mmg kalau masak lauk pape pon memang selera especially kalu dari 'air tangan' ku... ikan bilis goreng atau telur dadar pon menyelerakan... alhamdulillah...

sambil tu ku buat jugak trifle (thanks to my senior-Kak CtK yg bwk kan all the way form EIRE) tp lom siap lagi, tinggal nak tunggu sejuk sket, then need to whip the cream and woilaaa... will be our evening tea later...

nway, HAPPY FATHER's DAY to all daddy, ayah, abah, papa, walid, bapak etc out there... YOU COMPLETE US!!!! Thanks a zillion

hmmm.. 5 more days to go.. yeahhh to my EDD, still no S+S... kadang2 memalam tu cam ada la contraction that i would consider a little bit painful than ordinary Braxton Hicks, but nope! Still not 'going' anywhere... almost every night i thought "it will be tonight", but the next morning i woke up with frustration fresh and like nothing was happening or going to happen... *sigh*

Honestly, i felt heavier each day, don't think i felt this way when i was pregnant with Fatini or Haziq.. both were beyond their EDD (ehhh except HaziQ who came out a day earlier than his EDD, Fatini was 4 days late).. but this one?? tunggu je lah..

Also, i felt he's moving less than he used to (less in movement and frequency, but still acceptable to me, i think ).. maybe he's getting bigger and the space inside my uterus is very limited for his size now... arrghhh.. hopefully he won't be bigger than 3.39kg (that was HaziQ's BW, Fatini was 2.97kg). Last week ANC, my weight naik almost 1kg (in just one week okey).. hahhh.. rase cam tak makan banyak, ke all the weight goes to baby... isk.. takut la plak if baby besar sgt nih!!!


okey.. tu je

still waiting...

hmmm.. today 16/6/09 meaning another 10 days to my EDD.. iskk mmg takde gaya baby nak kuar lagi nih.. cam seronot lak dia dok dalam perut mummy nih, mummy dia lak tak larat dah...

baca kat 'ticker' atas tu = "i'm at least 7lbs & if i decide to stay in here, my fingernails will need to be clipped" --> hmmm.. mmg sume anak2 ku kuar2 je kuku dh panjang.. mana taknye, sume mmg cukup2 atau lebih duduk 40 minggu dlm 'perut'...

Last week ANC - ku naik 1.5kg in 4 wks, okay la tu sbb aku takut if naik 1kg/wk ihikksss... baby OK - estimated weight around 3.3kg.. (harap2 kurang lah dari tu, takut lak if baby besar sgt!) Other parameters ok, correlated with date; AFI normal.. no complains etc.. Alhamdulillah.. "cuma bila baby nak kuar nih???"

last Sunday, sempat buat cheesecake.
Tokey kedai tu siap cakap "sudah mau beranak pon sempat buat kek kaa??"

"Belum beranak la buat kek, nanti dah pantang tak boleh makan plak"

This weekend kalu tak beranak lagi, aku janji ngan bebudak ni nak masak pizza plak.. ntah la sempat ke ekk??? heheheh

Tadi ~ competency test lagi -- aku tawakal je, baca sket2 sbb cam takde motivation la nak study atau buat apa2 yang berpekdah sekarang ni.. iskk teruk nye!!!!! Soalan 10 je?? Markah pon ciput2 je each Qn tu.. isk camane nak score nih?? huwarghhhh...

Rejeki ~ yupp.. alhamdulillah.. last Sunday, tetiba akaun ku ada 'terlebih' duit.. Ku pulun tepon CIMB centre nak find out sape yang baik hati sgt bagi aku duit tu. Tp diorang takleh cek, kena contact branch esok plak.
Isnin tu called branch, diorang tolong cek kan, diorang leh bagik reference no and duit tu transfered dr Bank Islam dari 'Kementerian', that's all..
dalam hati ku, takkan la KPT nak bagi duit banyak sgt -- ku expect duit buku & perkakas je.. (sebab ku tak layak dapt elaun sara hidup sbb DH also cuti belajar, so sorang je dapat elaun - kijam kan??)
Ropa-ropanye, sejak January this year, ku telah layak dapat elaun sara hidup.. takde la sebanyak yg DH dapat sebulan, tp at least ada la jugak... so tu duit yg tertunggak dari January... wooohoooo acik kayo sekejap je tuh .. anyway, ALHAMDULILLAH.. ku anggap tu sume rezeki baby...

update on my project ~ huhuhu... S.L.O.W. progress lah sbb masuk je bulan June ni, ku rase sume sungguh lembap!!! 1st 2 weeks tu ku sibuk in-charge sero lab, so tak masuk bacte lab sgt.. now dah passed over the lab pd orang lain (sbb ku dh selesaikan duty 2 wks, 2 wks lgi orang lain plak..) Plan nak collect strains sampai end June ni, QC plan nak buat before ku cuti bersalin pon tak terbuat lagi.. isk.. maybe baby nak kuar hujung bulan sbb nak soh aku abiskan collect strains in June ni kot??? Hmmm...

okay, now nak abis kan masuk data MAY.. till then, please pray for me & baby...

week updates

Fatini~

dia demam dari isnin, so tak sekolah 3 hari.. cian tgk bila badan panas sgt, ingatkan UTI sbb takde selsema/batuk, maklum la bebudak kalau dah potty-trained senang dapat UTI sbb tak basuh bersih (utk case cebok sendiri) dan juge sbb selalu tahan kencing.

Tp tengok tonsils dia bengkak and merah. Dia mmg selalu kena tonsilitis, cuma lately kurang sket since dudok rumah dgn maid. We started her on antibiotics sbb sebena nye week before that pon dia dh demam for few days then ok.

Rabu atok, nenek KB datang (CikSu ada interview kat ISN on thursday), dia pon dah cam ok.

Thursday & Friday sekolah balik.. now dh ok.



HaziQ~

Pas Fatini sihat, Haziq plak demam. Tonsil bengkak gaks.. this time both takde selsema/batuk, kalu tak lagi teruk laa..

tp yang tak tahan, kalu tido asyik mengamuk tak tentu pasal je.. pujuk pon tak bleh.. nak berdukung je, tp nak suruh mummy yg dukung.. ???mummy dukung?? isk mana larat..!!

hari ni cam dah sihat sket, since malam td badan dh tak panas.

tp bila demam dua2 terus refuse makan Agel UMI + EXO.. abis tu camane nak tau UMI+EXO tu berkesan ke tak???



Mummy (and baby)~

this week dah masuk 36weeks. Alhamdulillah... semakin 'serem' plak hehehheheh

last week ANC, tak pegi sbb rase cam takde pape (aci kaa???) Lagipon no scan. So make new appointment in 2 weeks and scan sekali. Masa tu dah 38wks.. iskk.. sempat kah???

baby lak makin aktif. Contraction pon makin kerap. Kadang2 sampai sakit ke pinggang.. adakah??? tp kalau ikut obs history ku, dua2 yang lepas mmg cukup atau terlebih EDD. Yang #3 ni tak pasti lah..

perut ku plak, sume kata 'dah turun' ?? . Tp ku rase semakin 'memuncung' ke depan, dia tak naik atas... nway, pape pon, ku doa semua berjalan lancar.

Kecian denga psl senior ku yang tgh warded sbb placenta praevia, baru 32+wks, kena warded & rest sampai cukup bulan... alhamdulillah, ku takde komplikasi sebegitu.. to Kak Muna -- bawak bersabar, insyaAllah sume ok. (Allah menguji hambaNya yang tabah).

Daddy~

ntah la apa kisah daddy ye??? Yang ku tau, next week dia masuk 3rd year heheheheh (diriku pon jua) tp dia lebih kritikal sbb final exam masa 3rd year ~all the best!!~

kena start study kuat dari sekarang tau.. (aku pon nak kena buat azam baru nih!!!)

kita study sama2 *wink*


tu aje, sebena malas nak bercerita...
tak tau la naper minggu ni rase cepat berlalu, sampai ku rase tak sempat nak buat apape yang kurang berfaedah ..

perut (uterus?) tak sedap

pagi tadi cam baby tak aktif sgt... (still gerak cuma tak tergolek sana tergolek sini)

tp petang ni sangat sangat sangat aktif plus contraction yang agak discomfort (bukan sakit).. braxton hicks la tu tp sgt la buat diriku SANGAT tak 'selesa' drpd selalu..

now he's still buat summersault etc.. rase 'penat' pon ada lak bila dia aktif sgt..


malam tadi before tido, tetiba Fatini pegang perut ku and cakap
"mummy, kita nampak baby gerak"

"a'ah baby tengah gerak. Kakak nampak ye??"

"baby nak kuar kot??" replied dia lagi

"isk... tak lah, baby tak kuar malam ni lah kakak".. cuak jugak bila dengar dia bagi statement gitu hehehhe

memang la.. mana leh kuar lagi.. bagi can at least 2-3 minggu lagi.. kasik cukup term dulu..

isk.. baby nih, sila bertenang sket.. nak kata lapar, ku dah 'tea-break' dgn mash potato lebihan lunch tadi.. kalu nak dinner pon tunggu jab lagi ekk...

----------

week wrap

ANC check last Thursday

alhamdulillah baby has turned his head down.. and yupp confirmed it's another boy for us.. am not complaining, but preparing my mental and physical for another arrival of a hero hehhehe.. the two at home pon dh macam boy - asyik melompat2, and gaduh siap bertumbuk tuh!!

masa scan, all the parameters are OK, AFI normal... EFW around 2.24kg (ke 2.14 kg lebey kurang lah...) errr another 6 weeks to go.. isk, jgn besa sgt.. before this Fatini's BW was 2.97kg & Haziq's was 3.39kg.. hope this one will maintain around that figure.. *fingers crossed*

our saturday

semalam, we went to jemputan kenduri aqiqah anak Alin kat Batu Caves.. Thanks Alin sbb jemput. Actually we just met once masa SGM kat Putrajaya.. before that just ada urusan 'jual beli' & 'jumpa' kat forum susuibu.com..

kat kenduri Fatini nak 'nasik yellow' (read nasi minyak), sbb sebelum sampai ckp kat dia nak gi kenduri, but she kept relating kenduri to kenduri kahwin cos last week gi kenduri kawen, dia seronot belasah nasik beriyani 2 pinggan kat kenduri tu...

amikkan dia nasi putih & ayam goreng for her & Haziq, then another plate for me - nasik kuah masak lemak nangka, sambal udang etc.. (but kambing not included in my plate -- tak suka kambing la sorry Alin), bila Fatini nampak nasik ku dgn kuah lemak tu, dia lak yg nak nasik tu.. dia mmg kuat pedas and suka nasik yg berperisa e.g nasik ayam, nasik minyak, nasik lemak, nasik beriyani atau kalau nasik putih berkuahkan kuah kari or kuah kurma or kuah masak lemak.. tapi nasi (+kuah) sahaja semata2... 2 pinggan dia makan Alin, TQ ehh.. mmg enak pon masak lemak tu, berselera dibuatnye...

then after the kenduri, we went back to emak's house tp takde orang.. [mmg dah tau mak takde sbb gi Johor, tp just singgah solat Zohor, sib baik ada kunci rumah]

then, off we went to IKEA ikut MMR II ehh MRRII.. sbb diriku nak membeli kerusi POANG utk diriku sendiri.. alasan: nak dok tgk TV takde kusi sakit pinggang, then leh buat kerusi malas sambil BF kan baby.. ihikss..

and dapat pon beli... thanks to myself (sbb beli baya sendiri hehehe), then ada la beli barang2 kecik beberapa, eg laundry basket (tp bukan basket/bakul la.. yg ada besi and plastik tuh.. ganti yg lama yg dah koyak sbb 2 budak comots tu suka main & MASUK dalam tu sampai rabak dikejekan), tempat simpan brg mainan bebudak nih, and easel utk diorang tunjuk kekreatifan mereka (yang selama ni diekspresi di dinding hall), cermin meja (dari RM20 jadi RM5), pastu kain cotton 100% 3m gamba hippo tuh.. (plan nak buat pouch (lagey) ihikss...

tp bukan ku nak story apa ku beli, sebena nak story kenapa ada orang sanggup curik troli ku???!!! masa kat markethall tu, kitorang pakai troli besa sbb ada kotak besa tuh, then Fatini tolak troli comel nye yg diisik dgn all the infos sheet/katalog yg dia kutip kat setiap display set dan beberapa barang kecik termasuk cermin, kain hippo print, latch utk fridge and beberapa lagi..

bila nak sampai cashier, we all nampak section "AS IS" yg tak pernah nampak sebelum ni, so kitorang masuk & letak troli kat luar (actually tu section utk rejected items - rejected maybe mean - slight defects e.g missing parts or ex-display set).. tak beli apa, tp after this rase nak sambar tilam lah.. hehhe

bila kuar tu, troli comel Fatini dah takde... isk sakit betul hati ku.. rase mesti bebudak yang amik, takkan orang tua nak amik troli kecik tu kan.. tp yang hati aku panas tu sbb ada barang and troli tu agak penuh!! apa dia ingat troli yang dok situ takde orang punye ke padahal banyak lagi troli2 orang letak kat luar tu.. kalau ye pon bebudak yg amik, takkan la mak bapak budak tu bleh biar kan (atau mak bapak yang suruh amik??!!) #$@$^%!^$!^&^%#%#^&

So, diriku kena berjalan semula ke fabric section (jauh jugak tau sbb kat memula masuk markethall, eventhough ada 'shortcut' tp dgn perut ku yang dah 34weeks, mencabar wooo), safety latch utk fridge tak jumpe sbb amik memula tu kat atas, then cermin pon tak ingat... bila nak baya jumpe cermin tu kat satu troli 'rejected' ie sume barang yg org taknak beli sumbat kat situ (ke i just assumed so... haaahhahah), sbb kalau orang nak beli mesti susun elok2 kan.. tp troli ni mmg literally disumbat beraneka barang!

pas baya, Fatini nak makan plak, nampak aiskrim nak aiskrim plak, aku pon nampak hotdog tu cam best je, so 'pujuk' DH tolong beratur beli (barisan ada la 3-4 lapis), kitorang dok tepi meja tunggu orang blah..

tunggu punya tunggu, ada orang lain amik (sbb 'tangan'ku penuh dgn bebudak comots & troli gabak saiz XXL berisi kotak2 besar tuh) so bila meja tu vacant, aku tak sempat nak 'kejar' & cop (dgn keadaan physical ku lagi).. so melepas satu meja, ku tekad duduk dekat2 dgn meja lagi satu nih, minah cina 3 orang ni borak cam tak reti nak bangun plak..

bila minah 3 org tu blah, tetiba dtg plak minah cina ntah dari mana, dgn anak2 dia 3 orang, terus serang meja tu... arghhhh kali ni aku tak kisah, ku suruh Fatini duduk & buat bodos kat kerusi tu.. bila Fatini nak turun (sbb tgk orang lain pon dok sekali kat meja tu) aku paksa suruh dia duduk jugak.. GERAM!!!

BONGOK la orang m'sia ni kadang2 (sesetengah nye, tp semalam mg sume BONGOK, baik melayu mahupon 'ca ya nun alif'), tak reti sistem 'book after' atau hormat orang lain ke???? aku yg dah sarat dgn anak2 dgn barang banyak YANG DAH LAMA tercongok kat situ menunggu meja, pepaham la kann.. takkan la aku saje2 jadi tunggul kat tepi meja orang kot?????

nway, dah dok kejap (kejap je pon nak duduk nye sbb belum solat asar lagi), kitorang blah laa.. makan kat tempat 'pickup' sambil tunggu daddy amik kereta...

moral of the story : aku geram dgn sesetengah rakyat mesia yg takde sivik atau hormat kat orang lain... di manakah "budi bahasa budaya kita"?????

sampai rumah

sampai rumah, dlm 6.30pm terus solat asar. Bebudak 2 orang tu masuk2 keta je dh tumbang.. pas maghrib baru psg easel & kerusi tu.. best best mummy dapat dok depan TV, takyah dok atas lantai lagi ihikkss..

Haziq lak seronot conquered easel tu sbb Fatini tido.. aman la jugak sbb sorang tido..

pastu, aku lak dh start2 ukur2 kain and revise balik cara nak buat pouch tu.. isk.. me really like the lime green colour - YUMMY!!!!

P/S kpd sahabat2 (u know who u are) yg nak mintak tolong jahitkan pouch/sling, sila cepat2 sbb masin jahit ni nak dipulangkan pada tuan punya sebelum diriku meletup.. hehhehe pas bersalin sah la tak sempat nak menjahit.. [err.. ini bukan iklan]

tp mesin tu plak asyik buat hal, this time aku nekad nak 100% buat sendiri, before this aku jadik mandor sahaja.. so ku start gunting & jahit tepi etc.. tp benang asyik sangkut2 and putus2.. apsal ekk?? Dah la mesin orang punya, so mmg la tak reti sgt nak godek2... last2 ku tutup 'kedai' and naik tido.. dah kul 1130pm gaks masa tu.. menjahit tu pon konon sambil teman my DH siapkan proposal..

that's our saturday...........

me & baby @ 32 weeks...

Fetal development in pregnancy week 32:fetus in eighth month

In the latest womb reports, your amazing baby has now developed sensitivity to temperature! This means you’ll probably get a swift kick if you put a hot pad on your ginormous belly. ---> oh yes... he will be very very active kicking especially when i am cooking..

For the Elton John lovers out there-- yes, baby’s got blue eyes. At this point, all babies do, although depending on their chromosomal disposition, this could easily change after birth (or even between now and labor), but for the time being, blue it is. ---> hahhh.. never heard about it.. but why blue?? if he is delivered now, would the eyes still blue?? hmmm...

Thanks to their recently matured lungs and a remarkably strong immune system, over 90% of babies born in their 32nd week, survive premature births. So it’s pretty much a done deal. Even if your little monkey’s planning on heading out early, their survival odds are in everyone’s favor. Time to celebrate (no, no, wait until after the birth to crack open the champagne!) We’re talking baby-showers and alcohol-free punch! ---> err.. though sometimes i wish i would deliver ASAP as he is getting 'heavier' and i no longer can bear my own weight too ... well, i would give him another 4-5weeks lah, let him mature more in my womb as that's the best place for him to grow bigger and more mature and wiser and etc.. "but baby, dont get too big & make sure u turn your head by week 36 ehhh"


And how's mom doing?

If your family or significant other is around and involved, it’s probably time to start discussing what’s going to happen when you really go into labor. ---> lom discuss lagi..

Of course, the delivery itself can be quite overwhelming for first-time viewers, so make sure and openly discuss the fact there will be blood, sweat,mucous, and possibly even a bit of poop (if you didn’t know already, it’s likely that while in labor and pushing, you also push out a bit of the ol’ number 2—it’s totally normal if not a little disgusting). ---> thank God my hubby wont be disgusted by blood & mucous as he also works with that hahahha

Even the weak-stomached birthing buddies can still help to make the labor-process more bearable with breathing assistance, massages, and constant reassurance and cheering: "Yay! That was a great contraction honey!" (Now run! Before she breaks your wrist!). For the more blood-bold and not so faint of heart, the positions of cameraman, baby-catcher, and/or umbilical cord-cutter are always available—just talk to your doctor or mid-wife beforehand so they can be prepared to deal with an extra person during the birthing process. ---> i dont think that would go as u planned... so just let it happen naturally i guess

Surprise! Your third trimester symptoms aren’t going away yet. If you just got back from peeing, you already know that your bladder is nearing non-existent-land. These joys will persist till you’re on the birthing bench. Also, be careful of lightheadedness during these last weeks. Your blood tends to pool in the lower limbs, resulting in low cranial blood pressure. So, watch out for the head rushes and get up nice-n-slow after sitting for long periods. ---> yeahh.. i think baby is comfortably sitting on my bladder and sometimes happily kicking the bladder.. ingat bola kaa??

other symptoms that i'm suffering most are:
1) TIREDNESS -- masyaAllah kalau balik keje tu rase cam nak tido je.. penat sgt, padahal bukannye teruk sgt keje kat lab tuh (buat masa ni lah).. selalu balik je rumah, dudok2 kejap, then naik mandi & solat kalau tak solat lagi, then turun dinner (i have to let my maid cook dinner for us as i really really really tired to cook, sorry sayang), then naik solat maghrib. Pastu kalau mata ni tak tahan sgt mmg terus tido.. kalau tak, buat keje sket or surf the nets, pastu kul 10-1030, sure dah ZZzzzz... baca buku mmg liat sgt.. isk
Today my DH is oncall, so senang sket citer hehehhe, ptg pas asar td dapat nap kejap.. lega sikit.. (kalau dia ada, kena la layan kan, takkan la pi tidoq plak, cian member pon penat keje gaks...)

2) kaki bengkak -- cam biasa lah especially approaching petang/malam.. so tido malam i will make sure my legs are up...

3) cramps -- arrghhh.. no matter how i try not to stretch my legs too much, the cramps still come once in a while, but lately it's more frequent... sabar sabar... 8 weeks je lagi the most... (hopefully)





hmm.. last week maid aku dh siap cuci2 sume baju2 baby.. daddy pon dh check playpen tu ok, cuma belum plan mana nak letak lagi.. but definitely kena letak baby dlm playpen, kalau tak.. tak tau la camane kakak & abang dia keje kan nanti...

dah booked mak utk dok sini selama 2 bulan tu.. kira 'paksa rela' tuh hehehhe.. yelah, by 3rd or 4th week (depending on kesihatanku & keje yg berlambak ke tak), aku dh kena masuk keje.. so, takkan la tinggal ngan maid terus, at least kena la ada orang tolong tengok2 kan gaks.. harus kelam kabut gak maid ku nanti dgn nak uruskan 2 hero/heroin tu, dgn baby lagi..

pastu dalam bulan ni nak kena order set bersalin etc. By mid may dah kene la aku kemas barang2 ekk.. alahaii.. ni yang lemah sket hehehhe masa 1st baby dulu semangat gaks, lagi satu sbb dok jauh pon.. bila dgn Haziq still semangat lagi though duduk dekat je ngan spital.. tp yang ni cam 'males' je.. maybe belum lagi kot.. tunggu few weeks lagi...




tu je...

baby @ 29 weeks

tadi ada ANC, my last ANC 7 weeks back.

Masuk jumpe Dr. Amy, dlm 10.30, lama gila tunggu, naik mengantuk aku sbb takde bawak bahan bacaan..

scan earlier -- baby's parameter corresponds dgn gestational age (cuma aku tak amik lak ukuran2 tu, but i know they're about 28+ to 29 wks la),

estimated fetal weight 1.42kg (besar ke OK ekk?? Kena cek buku O&G nih)

baby breech lak, pale kat my upper right side. Risau aku, but Dr Amy cakap "there's still time for it to turn, only worry when u are @ 36 weeks".. pastu kita leh ECV, hopefully successful, most multiparous successful bla bla bla

bukan apa risau tak pusing2 then aku kena C-sect ke apa ke iskk na'uzubillah.. dah la cuti 14 hari je..


then another worrying thing, i already gained 15 kg.. arrghhh Ya Allah rase cam belon dah nih... ni ada about 10 weeks to go ni, if aku naik lagi 1kg/wk???????????? FYI, dgn Fatini aku gained 20kg+ till term, pregnant Haziq almost 25kg till term.. yang ni??? ntah laaa.. we'll see lah

most of all, baby sihat, and still kicking alhamdulillah..
insyaAllah in 10-11 wks time, doa sume ok amiinnnn

Week 26: Eye see YOU!

(source : www.baby-gaga.com)

Fetal development in pregnancy week 26: fetus in sixth month
At long last, your little swimmer can see the womb! Your miracle’s little eyelids have finally separated (they were fused closed previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or watching Oprah or something).
In addition to seeing their little studio in your belly, they’ve recently acquired the ability to say “yes” and “no” in rudimentary sign language as they can now move their head back and forth. This is also the time where your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow!
A cute little cowlick or two may be springing into position right now, getting ready for years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head. Also, their toenails have grown in and you little raisin continues to slowly pile up fat beneath their still-loose skin.
Most importantly, brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity and will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first seven to eight years of childhood!

And how's mom doing?
This is the final week of your second trimester. We won't go on and on about the joys of constipation, but if you’re curious why you’ve got to put up with this much-less-than-fun blockage, it’s basically because you’re producing higher levels of progesterone, which relaxes muscle tissue throughout you’re producing higher levels of progesterone, which relaxes muscle tissue throughout your entire body, including the G.I. tract and ultimately slows digestion down… waaaay down your entire body, including the G.I. tract and ultimately slows digestion down… waaaay down.
Not to fear, there are plenty of natural remedies for the joys of constipation, including: increasing your standard fiber intake with fruits and veggies, oatmeal, or whole grains (such as millet, rye and wheat). Another way to get things moving "down there" is to get yourself moving! If you haven’t been very active, try putting some time in walking or swimming.
Increasing your general activity levels often inspires a bowel movement without requiring a suppository. Many women also experience restless and jittery legs during the second half of pregnancy. It’s a common condition known as Restless Leg Syndrome (or RLS—not a very creative name). Cutting out caffeine, stretching your calf muscles slowly, and some nice and deep muscle massages are generally effective ways to help deal with RLS.


Footnote: constipation has been my problem even when i'm not pregnant.. arghhh.. eating veges, fruits, oats etc never seem to settle this problem, so how??

RLS?? Calcium tablets help me reducing my crampy legs esp at night.. alhamdulillah, so far, it's still not my main problem. Only severe backache just striked me last few days, now it's getting better.

Baby's movement -- i think he's getting more and more active now.. sometimes feels like he's coming out tru my skin.. scarry ehhh

well, that's the beauty of having 'the aliens' in my womb.. subhanallah
