5th Month

I am now well into my 2nd trimester... Very happy to report that I don't have my 'morning sickness' anymore but if I take any food that is 'blacklisted', guess what, I'll puke again...

Can already feel the baby moving (when lil' one is hungry, siap lah, kena wachaaa from inside... Sabar lah Nak oiiiiiii!). Hubby still can't feel the movement, maybe in the next few weeks he'll be able to. Next week will go for my check up at Dr. Wendy's clinic so hopefully will be able to see whether it's a boy or a girl... Not that I'm into the blue for boys/pink for girls stuff, I'm getting mostly neutral colours like green, yellow or beige-brown for baby. Boleh guna for the next ones, ye tak?

A few weeks ago also was diagnosed as having GDM (gestational diabetes mellitus). Now have to monitor my blood sugar level and control with diet for the time being. If still high, insulin jabs 3 times a day..Takkkk nakkkkkkk!!!! Nak cucuk telunjuk for the blood glucose test pun dah sekian, ni pulak nak injek2... Oh tidak! So I have to repeat the 7-point blood test every 2 weeks and see the doctor every 2 weeks as well. Haih, everything for you Lil' One... Mummy sanggup minum klorofil perisa rumput and such. Tak nak dengar cakap mak siap la kau Nak oi!

Even had to tone down my 'couching tiger hidden dragon' temper... Rimau bunting terpaksa jadi kucing manja. Why? Tak nak anak ku nanti jadi cengeng Kak oi! Tengik kata mak aku... So, sekarang ini meng'surround'kan diri dengan kegembiraan ala riang ria anak2 Ribena. Harap-harap lah nanti Lil' One akan jadi anak yg riang ria jugak...

Started to prepare a list of things to get for baby. Most of the clothes will be hand me downs from my brother (hand me back jugak la because most of it were given by me jugak dulu... Ha ha ha) since his youngest boy is turning 2 in a few months time. So far concentrating on the essentials first, sapa2 nak donate barang2 baby sangat2 lah dialu-alukan ye... :-)

Bah, have to go now. Someone's starting to practice karate kicks. Lapar kot...

Heartburn

I hate it.

:-(

like, seriously hate this burning feeling in my throat. They say it comes with the preggie package but why oh why I get this every single night. Kononnya take small meals will reduce this condition, takde pun...

*groan* bear with it je lah... What to do?

Newsflash! *Grin*Grin*

We are expecting!

Not exactly a surprise to many of you readers ( Still got readers meh?) since most of you are in my FB.

Lil' one will be due in January and so far I'm more than 3 months along.

The 'ugly' moments a.k.a Nausea and morning sickness (evening sickness in my case) is hopefully going away soon. Everyone told me that I should enjoy the experience. Enjoy? How could I enjoy the sensation of my stomach contents turning itself inside out every time I puke every single thing I've painfully and 'sengsara'ly chewed and swallowed just moments before? Now I understand why moms have the usual "Kau tidak tahu betapa sengsara mak mengandungkan kau dulu!!!" as leverage. You wait lil' one, mommy will have that line ready if you ever misbehave... Haha!

So far in the first few weeks I've lost almost 4kg... Mana tidak, I don't have much appetite plus all the vomiting. Only in these last couple of weeks I've sort of gained some appetite. Last weigh in since my first check up, I've gained 700 grammes (maybe I belum pooped yet). Oh ya, I could only take plain water. Any other drinks (flavored/coloured) will be rejected. Sigh. At least I can take air kelapa. Hehehe... Got funny story about air kelapa, tell you next time.

My tummy is starting to show, my hubby say because I memang boroi (cue: ambil parang kasi kerat-kerat dia!). So far hubby's been wonderful. He's the one doing the cooking since I couldn't stand the smell of cooking. Love you lots darling! No crazy-crazy craving 24-7, just occasionally I want to eat certain food which is easily available. Can't say the same for my craving of Nando's peri-peri chicken. Dah la no outlet in Sarawak, aiyoh, luckily a good friend was coming over for RWMF, managed to get him to tapau for me. Yippee! Food aversions? Say NO to curry, prawns and hot chilli (groan). Before this I couldn't live without chilli and curry every week... Kena dera betul.

Now that I'm in my second trimester, some of the kesengsaraan is showing signs of abating. Hopefully the pimples will be gone soon too :-) Can't wait to feel the baby move. The first time I saw the lil' one doing the wiggle-wiggle dance during ultrasound, it felt so surreal.

Gotta go now. Dinner soon. I'm eating for two (ceh, alasan... Bukan boleh makan banyak pun, confirm muntah). Bye for now!

31 days and Counting

Well, so far it's been 31 days since I moved to Kch (okay, 29 days if you insist, minus the 2 days I spent frantically packing up stuffs at home). New place, new environment, new people means new challenges. Am not going to discuss work-related stuff in detail anyways.

Week 1: Trying to adapt to the environment. Still no gas stove so almost every day makan di kedei (sampai rasa muak sungguh2!). House still looked like tongkang pecah, even thinking about unpacking made me tired. Replacement Saturday. Decided to get a gas stove and kitchen cabinet by hook or by crook.

Week 2: Nothing much. Identified that one of the classes that I taught is filled with trolls (verified by the other senior teachers). Ugh! Heavy rain. Flood. Trolls missed school.Bliss. The in-laws came for a visit.

Week 3: SSDW. My two nieces spent the weekend a my place. Shopping. After church went to purchase washing machine and a fridge. Habis lah NT* Laundry lost one of their customer.. Ha ha

Week 4: Sports Week. TGIF coz it means holiday is near. Bought a wardrobe. Now at last, tongkang pecah no more!

Well, there you go. A short summary of my 31 days so far. Haven't had the time to go for a dip in the pool. Asal petang jak mesti hujan...

What are your plans for the CNY holiday? My bestie, Kathy, is having her wedding on the 1st day of CNY itself, so I'll be going there armed with my camera. Then, it's off to my parents' place for a couple of days. Pick up some of the stuffs I forgot to pack last time.

To friends celebrating the Lunar New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai. Xin Nian Kuai Le!!!
