Emotional Roller Coaster

It was a rather emotionally draining week. With my gran's passing, my mom has gone into mild depression. I guess after so many years of having my nyayi around, she has been rather quiet and keeps staring into space. She was lamenting of how lonely the house feels now without my nyayi around. I have asked her to come and stay with us but she doesn't want to leave my sister on her own. Sigh. At times like this, I wish I had a bigger place and more rooms. I would just get my mom and sister to move in with us. Sigh. I just hope my mom will pull through this...I know she can...she's done it before.

A few days after my nyayi's passing, my SIL got married. MIL asked me to go over  on Friday for a small party cum inai session. But I just couldn't muster any excitement and chose to stay home. I feel bad but I felt it wasn't right for me to be all hooray hooray when my nyayi had just left us.

The wedding itself was good. Tiring but over all I enjoyed myself and all that bustling made me forget all my worries for a while. Thanks Mak Pah, Kak Ann, Kak Indra and Nadh  for gracing the event. Sorry kalau tak terlayan sangat. Special thanks goes out to Nadh for helping out and staying by my side. :)

Still aching all over. Photos will be up when I'm not too lazy to upload them on the lappie. Hehe.


p.s: Thank you very much Kak Ann for the kuih gandus....all 30 of them! I am a happy and satisfied preggie. ;)

A bad/good day?

Today is my mom's birthday.

It should be a happy occasion.

But it's tinged with sadness cos my nyayi is in hospital.

Still in the ICU.

I pray that she recovers soon.

Seriously?

Like seriously? Do we need to give you a personal invite..like hello...you're under same roof as parents still.

Geez....or do we need to give an invitation card is it?

Ok....rant over.

Introducing Baby O

Everything went well at the antenatal check up yesterday.

Baby is now 1.2kg.

Baby's head has moved down which explains the extra pressure on my bladder. Hopefully baby stays that way.

Amniotic fluid level is good. Obgyn mentioned that baby still has a lot of space in there but I looked at her doubtfully since I feel like my tummy is strectched taut.

Oh and my obgyn was hobbling around in a cast yesterday. Poor thing broke her ankle on her ski trip in Japan. Hope she gets well soon cos it must be a pain having to deliver babies with that cast.

Finally...................meet baby O.

I think baby O looks like Mr H. The chin and the lips looks identical to pics of him as a baby. I just hope baby O inherits my curly hair please.

Oh oh and guess what? While paying for my bill yesterday, I saw a familiar face! It was sis myalisha! Had discussed the chances of us meeting at the obgyn's before since we were seeing the same one. It was a bit kecoh for a while there. Lol. The clinic jadi macam pasar malam sekejap with our excitement. Met her sweet little girl. So cute lah! Somehow I imagined her bigger but she is so cute and petite. Who knows, maybe we will meet again next appt or maybe even at the hospital. Hehe.

Into the Third

29 weeks already! So fast!

Time seems to be passing by at break neck speed.
I suddenly feel an overwhelming need to get everything and I mean everything done by the end of this month.
Not much left to buy but still a lot to prepare myself for. Books on childcare and childbirth to finish reading. Doesn't help that preggie hormones has turned me into a dimwit.....reading so damn slowly lah. Hehe.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to tmrw. Not looking forward to seeing the orthopaedic consultant on Monday cos what he says will determine so many things for me. Oh well. One can only plan but only HE knows what's in store for me. So I need to take a chill pill and relax.

Looking forward to seeing the little bub tmrw. Hopefully everything is ok.

Chicken Licken

I love my fried chicken, yes I do. This place holds a special place not only in my stomach but also in my heart cos I've been dining here since I was a kid. Back then, visits to this place was always a special treat from my parents. I would jump for joy at the mention of this particular fast food joint. Nope....not the real popular one that starts with a K. The chicken at this place is much much better in my opinion....even better than Popeye's!

Since I've been craving to eat there, Mr H brought me there last weekend. While I have loved this place since I was a kid, he on the other hand had never heard of it prior to me introducing it to him. Poor thing missing out on such yummy chicken. The best part about Arnold's is that we get to ask for more chicken breast eventhough we gotta pay extra. With KFC, it's a definite no no. Another thing that I could eat a dozen of is the fried buns. It's definitely a sinful meal but heck care....anything for good food.

And at the end of that meal.....I am one happy bunny!

Xmas Goodies

No no. I don't celebrate Xmas of course. What I did was indulge in a little online shopping and the packages arrived the day before Xmas. As usual, shopping nowadays means more stuff for baby. None for me as I prefer to try on my clothes physically especially if I am trying on bottoms. Tops are still ok.

Here's a sneak peek to the crazy baby shopping I've been doing lately. I must say the sales were really worth it!

Yeeha!

All for the little bub. Mommy takes a back seat now.

See see....I can't stop myself from buying more and more clothes for baby. Help!

20 pieces of clothing for baby and the best part, they included an item that I didn't order. I bought onesies, dresses, overalls, skirts, cardigans, tops and bottoms. Listening to advise from some of the mommy bloggers out there, I bought a range of sizes for up to 6 mths. Kiasu or what? Hur hur. After factoring in shipping, each piece costs me an average of $9. If I had bought similar items locally, would have cost me an average of at least $15 per item. I love sales!

Oh and a Happy New Year in advance to everybody!!! May the new year bring more blessings, good health, happiness and wealth to all of us!

p.s: More sales today....how to go to all of them? Tsk tsk.
