baby's ultrasound at week 19+

mommy's latest progress

sayang's gonna end her second trimester very2 soon, and i've noticed a few things!

• sayang's tummy development has really accelerated.
• sayang is going through an uncomfortable phase as she's quite lethargic, her legs are swelling and she's experience itchiness, so i'm always feeling guilty not knowing how to help her out.
• baby dearest can be visibly seen moving! Yes, it's true i'm currently going gaga with the ooohhs and the aaahhs when i look at sayang's tummy!

in the least words possible i would say that it's one of my best birthday ever, gifts in all shapes and sizes and i thank god for all the good things coming my way =] it's has been a good2 year

here's a gathering of sayang's and my family at holiday inn, glenmarie. will write more soon when time presents itself.

RIDZ IS COMING BACK

after 12 days of bootcamp'ing', ridz is now on his way back to shah alam.. huhu, rinndu banget sama luk sayang!!! can't wait to see ur face, ur smile, ur phisical appearence.. manelah tau kan, kot2 ade 'grooming' session ke kan masa kursus tu.. hehe..

"Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku, selamatkanlah perjalanan pulang suamiku yg tercinta.. Amin"

going away

the last two days had been great, practically spent 2 whole day together, which we haven't done in ages due to our nature of business. so anyway, friday was spent sorting things out at the new house, while saturday was a real tight one, going to lynn's engagement (congrats gurl!), shopping in sunway, and packing stuff into the suitcase.

today i'm gonna be leaving home for 10 days, some kinda boot camp in faraway johor for the new job.

sayang is the first person i see when my eyes open and the last person that i look at before i sleep everyday, and that has been the thing for the last 8 months. i feel so heavy hearted to leave you, i feel life drain out of me when i even think about it. i feel this 10 days camp thing is just mental torture, *%$#@! hehe..

gonna miss you sayang!

here are some of sayang's latest tummy development taken at lynn's engagement yesterday. actually there's this ultrasound video of the baby, but i'm still trying to convert the file to make it smaller, that will to wait i guess.

Da Crib!

It's been an exciting year for us: (Alhamdullilah)

• newly married,
• baby coming in december,
• i'm reporting in to a new job come monday! =)
• moving in to our new house! (hopefully)

it's all in the sheets

Hehe, it's was raining this morning, sayang went to work at quarter past seven and i had 2 hours to spare so, watched a dvd definately, maybe hehe, i'm such a sucker for romantics. i felt jingly + fuzzy watching it. Anyway that's the sturdy 6 year old compaq that's still going strong, minus the hiccups n kapoot battery.

Huhuhu, i've got a thing now for bed cover, sheet, whatever you call them, bought this funky looking one and it just colors the room, rite?

Oh, yeah we've got the keys to our new house (hooray!) already, can't wait for everything fall into place, the contractors repairing the defects and stuff. Life's happening as i type, baby's coming, we're finally gonna move in to our own place, and we're just 8 months married, hehe.

sepi

we haven't been to the movies in a long time, yesterday right after work, we went to catch a movie, i had really wanted to watch either wanted or hancock. But both were fully seated and well we had to take the next best thing on the list Sepi.

we've both enjoyed Cinta by Khabir Bhatia, an actual malay movie that's really worth those 9 bucks. so, apa lagi just try our luckla, hoping that it won't disappoint us. Hehe, and we enjoy our nite lar, walaupun we thought Cinta was better, and that Sepi had the potential to shine lar with tweaks here and there.

i tak reti nak review sangat movie ni, just that it looks at how sepi or loneliness is felt by everyone in different ways and magnitude. we all feel it, that sense of loliness how little or infrequent it is, we all go thru it. i guess everyone has experience that feeling of being physically surrounded by all these people, yet you feel yourself translucent, alone, detached and melancholic.

exaggerating kotkan, tapi seriously worth that 9 ringgit, we enjoyed it. the movie ended with this quote:

2ND VISIT TO GYNAE

the exact appmnt date was on the 11th june.. tp sbb keje, postponed kpd 25th june.. hari ni someone fr DEMC called o inform that my gynae's clinic will be closed on 25th.. pulokk!!! nasib sempat tanye Dr available ke tak hari ni.. at last, dpt gak pi jumpe Dr pkul 2pm td..

Ya Habibi masih lg kat office, he'll finish class at 2pm.. so, i was planning to meet him up at DEMC. walaupun appmnt set within 2pm to 2.30pm, tak semestinya bleh jumpe Dr masa tu jugak.. Dr kan on call.. tetiba ade org nak bersalin ke.. mesti die kena attend dulu.. i was expecting dlm 2.30pm mcm tu baru smpai my turn.. tup2 blom sempat habibi smpai, dah kena panggil.. so dgn x best tp bercampur excited, masukla sy sorang diri jumpe Dr.. sembang2 sket, pastu buat ultrasound..

ni la saat paling tunggu2 nih.. but habibi was not there to share this beautiful moment. isk.. isk.. lmbat smpai sbb susah cari parking.. isk.. there was one big change utk ultrasound kali ni.. last visit, kitorang husband and wife duk complaint kat Dr sbb ultrasound machine tu nmpak mcm conventional (tak canggih sgtlaa).. agaknye tersinggung, kali ni dtg, perghhh, dah pakai flat screen.. in addition tu that, patient tak yah la nak duk sibuk share the same screen ngan Dr. we will have our own screen to view our little baby inside the womb!! haha!! double thumbs up!!

agak2 la kan, i'm the first mom-to-be to use this machine.. sbb masa Dr buat ultrasound, skali 3 org nurse masuk utk tgk.. hmm agak je la.. but that's not the point.. nak cerita pasal baby dlm perut..

dear baby,
hari ni mommy dpt tgk baby dgn jelas dkt screen.. u r developing very well dearie.. i can see ur head, ur hands, ur legs and ur heart beating!! Dr tu zoomed btul2 until mommy can see ur healthy bones grow. comelnye!! Dr ade cuba tunjuk kat mommy ur eyes, tp mommy tak dpt detect la sayang.. this is my first time, so mommy mcm blur sket.. x bleh nak imagine how it looks like.. tp at first, mommy ade tanye Dr, knape baby terbalik ni?? Dr kata baby mmg akan gerak2 dlm womb, so positions tu slalu berubah.. owh..

alhamdullilah, Dr kata baby sihat.. insyaallah in the a month's time, mommy would be able to feel your movement syg.. oh ye, mommy was expecting daddy to arrive anytime soon, tp smpai Dr habis scan, daddy tak sampai jugak.. well, i promise u that we'll come together next time to see ur progress dear baby..

mmm deep down mommy's heart, mommy felt guilty.. takut sgt sbb mommy slalu skip vitamins.. daddy yg sabar tiap2 mlm pujuk utk mkn all those vitamins.. sblm visit ni, mommy cuma mkn folic asid dgn neurogain, obimin (vitamin) ada, tp mommy tak bleh mkn sbb the pill is very very very big to swallow.. but according to Dr, that wasn't enough.. Dr kasik mommy calsium, ion plus folic asid lagi.. semua pills tu a bit smaller compared to obimin.. so mommy akan cuba mkn ok!! insyaallah..


Dear awk sayang,
(hmm bila la nak pandai panggil "abg" ni - bkn sy tak mau, ridz ckp die rasa mcm nama die sabaruddin kalau panggil "abg".. hisy.. )

dah 15 weeks pregnant, fr the very first day smpai hari ni, u r always there by my side.. to support, to understand, to cheer, to calm me down and to massage.. and to jaga waktu mkn vitamins.. hehe!! terima kasih bnyk2 sbb sabar and trus sabar.. terima kasih Ya Allah sbb kurniakan suami yg sabar, yg penyayang, yg menjaga hati dan yg sgt pandai tolerate..

nota kaki
*next gynae visit, kite gi sesama ek!! janji tau!!
*sayang awk slalu!!

update!
