Entering 16th week

Alhamdulillah, am entering 16th week @ 4 months next week.  Will  be seeing my gynae end of the week.. yippeee!  Been counting days nak jumpa dia.  I siap text her cakap x sabar nak jumpa dia. Lol!

So far, my nausea dah kurang banyak.  Muntah mmg dah xde. Penat and ngantuk pun kurang la.  What I encounter now is that my lower abdomen agak sakit at times in addition to the on and off back pain.  And yesterday, I had a very painful tummy near the navel area.  Macam kena carik2 tali pusat ku kat dalam tu.  Nak kata angin, I think I've been eating like no one business.  Sebab before this if rasa sakit camtu sbb gastric.  From the google search, it says those sharp pains are normal around this time sbb uterus tengah expand so semua organ2 dlm badan tgh nak give space for the uterus to membesar.  Though the sharp pain is very uncomfortable and it won't allow me to sit or stand for long, but it is still bearable la.  So all I have to do is baring je la semalam.  It ease the pain sikit la if not all.  Alhamdulillah, today dah x rasa sharp pain kat navel tu, but if the pain comes back, inshaAllah, it would not worry me so much la kot since I know now why.

More updates on my little bouncy inshaAllah lepas jumpa gynae nanti.  :)

On a separate note, I've already have a 80% completed checklist for mummy and baby.  And some stuffs pun dah start dibeli as and when terjumpa yg berkenan and within budget.  More of it akan dibeli masa the coming expo kalau ada yg within budget as well as masa dekat2 nak bersalin nanti.  Baju baby belum start beli lagi sbb belum tahu baby apa kan, so that one can wait.  InshaAllah, in May/June baru start cari  baju baby. :)

BIG Husband vs BIG Wife

At first nak letak title FAT Husband vs FAT Wife tapi x jadi, tukar FAT to BIG.  Sopan sikit kot..lol.  Harap maklum, entry ni x de kaitan ngan sapa2 ye.  Just tetiba terfikir nak tulis pasal topic ni.  Ye ke? Ok la, actually ada kaitan ngan me and hubby kot.  Hehehehe.

Not sure if I've posted before kat my blog ni about how hubby always asked me to lose weight even before we were married.  Ok, masa tu mmg slalu gak gaduh pasal ni.  I kan emo and sensitip, so mmg slalu gak la nanges sbb dia asyik suh jogging, jogging, jogging,  Sampai kan I told hubby kalau nak org kurus, gi cari org lain yg mmg sediakala kurus, x yah nak paksa2 i kurus.  Masa tu, hubby cakap dia x nak org lain, nak I tapi nak I kurus.  Then as usual la dia ckp for health la, itu la ini la...

Even after kawin pun, dia mmg emphasize on working out.  Sampai nanges2 la sbb i malas sgt nak exercise. Sampai at one point dia fed up, so dia pun x suruh lagi.  Even though I am well aware of my obesity tapi in denial. hahhaahha. sampai la bila i read about connection between obesity and infertility and after berurut dgn this makcik whereby she asked me to lost some weight in order to help conceived.  Masa tu la baru nak timbul kesedaran.

Anyway, this post bukan nak citer how losing weight can improve infertility.  I'm writing this post sbb my hubby's friend posted a pic of hubby and friends kat fb.  Masa tgk gambar tu tercari2 mana hubby, rupa2 nya yang paling "tough" kat dalam gambar tu.  Serious lain.  Mmg besar sangat hubby masa tu.  I think the pic was 3 years ago.  Tapi rs nya real life x la npk besar cam dalam gambar tu.  Hubby lost weight giler2 masa our wedding sbb he really workout hard to lose weight masa tu.  And mmg ramai yg cakap he lost weight time tu.  Sampaikan all his muscles pun x kelihatan.  Lepas kawin, he maintain his weight until now.

Masa I tengok gambar yg kawan dia post tu, terus terlepas cakap depan hubby, "B, besarnya gambar u time ni.  Nasib sekarang u dah kurus."  Then dia gelak.  Gelak tau, before he asked "Y, u x suka ke suami u besar?"  Then I jawab, "I suka u sekarang, maintain je. X kurus, x gemok".  Ok, wrong answer!  Cos after that he replied "I know... sebab tu I workout betul2 before kawin sbb I tau mana ada pompuan nak husband dia gemok.  I lose weight pun untuk u.  tapi u x nak pun lose weight untuk I."  Uwaaaaa.... terkena sebijik!

Ok, seriously to be honest kalau suami i besar, I pun definitely akan suruh dia workout kaw kaw.  Sebab, kalau tanya I, mmg betul la dr segi being fit and healthy ni mmg penting untuk setiap individu.  So kalau I boleh nak hubby i tak gemok, kenapa dia x boleh nak suruh I lose weight kan.  Of cos la dia pun nak wife yang tak gemok gakkk.  Huhuhuhu... 

Sekarang ni, mmg x leh wat apa la since tgh berbadan dua.  InshaAllah, lepas bersalin nanti, harap2 la boleh bersungguh2 dalam menguruskan badan.  I nak cuba dapat kan my ideal weight.  Semoga berjaya.  Just for u my dear... :)

Very Own Candy Buffet!

This is actually an overdue post.  Before this x sempat nak post entry pasal my very own candy buffet ni, so here it is... my masterpiece.. the Candy Buffet!

This was done masa my sister's wedding reception last December.  Masa ni gagahkan juga pergi cari candies for the candy buffet walaupun masa tu still awal2 pregnancy and sgt x larat on some days.  Tapi sebab dah excited nak buat kan, x kan x jadi pulak.  Lagipun, melepaskan hajat sbb actually nak buat for my wedding dulu but dek kerana too busy with other more important stuffs so terpaksa lupakan niat untuk candy buffet ni.

Actually x la susah pun nak buat, u just have to know what candies u nak letak kat meja tu.  There are too many candies out there so unless ur budget has no limit then boleh la nak beli all the candies kan.  As for me,  since i have a quite strict budget limit, I chose 10 types of candies only and i catered for 200-300 pax.  Alhamdulillah, just nice.  Sebab yelah, ni bukan main food kan, just untuk "pemanis mulut" org kata.

I bought the candies kat Old Town PJ.  There is this kedai borong kat situ so mmg murah if nak beli banyak.  But for marshmallow, mcm x confident nak beli kat kedai tu so I ordered online where there is halal cert given to the company so confident la sikit.  sbb u know la marshmallow are made of gelatin kan so x nak terbeli yg x halal pulak.  Dah la nak bg org makan. ish.  As for the jars, ada yang beli, ada yg mmg ada kat rumah or pinjam from mum's and aunty's house.  Lol.  Kata save budget kan, so x payah la nak beli2 sgt those jars.

Tadaaaaa......

Alhamdulillah, ramai yang suka and teruja especially my sister.  So happy that she liked it.  And my aunt dah siap2 suruh I buat kan for my cousin's wedding nanti.. InshaAllah.. bisa saja... :)

How to make your children pray on their own without quarrel or a reminder.

I still remember when I was young, praying is one of the most important things yg I paling malas nak buat.  I mmg dah diajar sembahyang seawal umur I lima tahun rasanya sebab masa tu dah join Tadika Islam.  So bila masuk umur 7 tahun mmg my dad akan pastikan I solat setiap waktu.  Setiap waktu dia akan ingatkan untuk solat.  At times, I mmg akan solat tapi ada juga some times yg i mengelat.  Masuk toilet, then masuk bilik and baring atas katil.  10 minit pastu, keluar bilik sambung tgk tv.  Kalau my dad buat solat jemaah, mmg x leh elak la kan, so time tu mmg "terpaksa" la solat.

Seingat I, perangai I ni berlarutan sampai la umur I belasan tahun.  Even masa tu dah baligh, tapi perangai x berubah.  My dad, being a dad mmg akan ingat kan we all untuk solat.  Kalau nak gi mana2 dulu, kena solat dulu.  Dia sanggup tunggu we all sampai selesai solat baru la keluar.  Same old perangai, masuk bilik baring2,  10 mins later keluar.. opss before that, basahkan sikit rambut and muka untuk nampak kan real lagi air sembahyang tu.  And probably sbb I was not doing this "tipu menipu" alone, sbb my kakak pun sama dua kali lima jugak dgn i, so lagi best la kan ada geng.  Astagfirullahalazim... 

As time passed by, and I entered UiTM after my O-Levels, time ni baru la improve banyak sangat in terms of praying ni.  Itu pun atas sebab2 tertentu.  No 1, probably sebab tgk roomates I solat, No.2 sebab my pre diploma was in Jengka, Pahang so orang cakap tempat tu berhantu sbb Harun Din penah buang 2 whole buses of hantu/setan/jin/anak beranak kat situ.  So sebab takut kan hantu, sebab tu la solat.  Teruk kan?

During my diploma, degree and working time, alhamdulillah byk la perubahan dari dulu. Maybe masa ni dah besar sket and dah boleh fikir pasal dosa pahala ni kan.  Tapi ada jugak la time2 yang I missed and kadang2 Qada, kadang2 biarkan je.  At this age, my dad still ingat2 kan juga untuk solat bila masuk waktu tu but not as much as before la.  Maybe dia pun takut gak suh solat tgk2 I period ke kan. Hehe.

So bila agak2nya I betul2 berubah and jaga solat ye?  

Can u believe it, at the age of 30 pun I rasa solat I belum cukup sempurna.  Masih banyak improvement yang i kena buat dalam solat.  Tapi alhamdulillah, even years after years of not taking solat as something serious,  Allah swt masih bagi i peluang untuk terus beribadah to Him.  Sekarang ni, alhamdulillah I cuba jaga solat sebaik mungkin.  Kalau termiss, inshaAllah I akan Qada.  Of cos at times, hubby akan sentiasa ingat kan i untuk solat awal i.e. jgn lambat2 kan solat.  

Anyway, I pernah juga terfikir macamana nak didik anak2 untuk solat nanti.  Yelah, bila tiba masanya, hopefully we'll know what to do nanti.  Apapun, as parents I believe kita kena la sentiasa berdoa to Him supaya melembutkan hati anak2 kita untuk mendirikan solat sebab no matter how much we train them, Allah swt sahaja sebaik2 pertolongan untuk lembutkan hati mereka.

So, I got this from my friend's blog who got this from her friend's blog.  A Du'a to amalkan.  Du'a ni boleh diamalkan even before you are married.  So benda yg elok and boleh diamalkan bersama2, marilah kita kongsi2 ye.  Also as a reference untuk I nak amalkan, inshaAllah.

The Supplication is in the Surah Ibrahim [14], ayah # 40 سُوۡرَةُ إبراهیم

And the Supplication is...
( رَبِّ ٱجۡعَلۡنِى مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِى‌ۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلۡ دُعَآءِ (٤٠

"Rabbi-Ajal'ni muqeema salaati, wa min Dhurriyyati, rabbana wataqabbal duaa"

[14:40] O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer.

Mari la kita ramai2 amalkan ok.  InshaAllah...

Post meeting with the "pemburu kepala"

So here's an update pertaining to the meeting with the so called head hunter yesterday~

The meeting was quite fast actually. Less than 45 minutes kot.  Tu pun I was abit late sbb gi solat dulu before jumpa org tu.  So I think +- maybe around 1/2 hour je kot kita borak2.  Basically she said my resume is pretty straight forward and not much to discuss on my resume.  Cuma dia nak tgk la kita ni camna personally and katanya nak put the name to a face.  Erk! bukan ke ada pic kat resume tu.  Hmm.. what ever lah!

Anyways, first thing dia tanya after dah bersalam salaman tu, is "Do u have any kids?"  Jawapannya of cos la tak kan.  But I terus cakap i mmg plan nak have kids and we are working towards that.  Since dia tak tanya "Are u pregnant?", i xde la nak cakap "i am currently expecting" kan.  Tapi i've already told my hubby kalau dia tanya, i akan cakap that i am pregnant.  and since dia x tanya so x perlu la nak reveal dulu kan.  logically i x tipu dia pun kan.  maybe sebab ilusi baju x menampak kan perut ku yg dah maju ke depan tu, so sbb tu x obvious sgt kot.  Apapun lepas i ckp yg i mmg plan nak have kids tu, dia ok je, xde la dia ckp kalau dpt keja tu kena hold dulu ke etc etc.  So i think it may not be an issue so much kot. hopefully!

The name of the company still remained a secret.  They cannot reveal it yet until I'd be called for an interview then baru dia bgtau. Lerrr.. Nevertheless, i did gather some info pasal company ni such as how established it is, where it is headquartered at and so on so forth.  And some plus points i've gathered regarding the post are as follows:-

1.  My expected salary is within their range for the post so no problem on that.

2.  My background mmg sangat kena mengena dgn post tu.  Even masa baca the JD pun mmg more or less what i did before cuma now, as the role is an inhouse role, more on supporting and managing the employees mobiliy la.  Not so much of doing/reviewing comps sbb ada tax agent sendiri.  So basically cam contact person la gitu.

3.  No immigration involve. Mmg solely on personal income tax matters.  But bare in mind, bukan from Malaysian perspective saja but around the asia pac region.  Nama pun regional tax kan. 

4.  Plus plus plus point, the office is in a very convenient distance.  yay!

5. And more plus plus plus point, walaupun office tu is close by, this role is a HOME-BASED role. so basically, my office will be at HOME!! Best kan?  All the communication devices will be given and all expenses will be reimbursed.  Gi office maybe seminggu sekali camtu je.  

Seriously masa dengar tu cam terus jatuh cinta ngan role ni walaupun tatau ni company apa lagi kan. Hahahaha.  But inshaAllah ok.  It's a UK Company and have been in Malaysia for 15 years.  Terus terfikir seronok nya kalau dapat keja ni sbb with the baby coming, i mmg nak sgt jaga baby ni sendiri but of cos i need to work jugak kan nak tambah2 pendapatan keluarga.  even if i need hire a daily maid untuk jaga baby while am working pun xde la risau sgt sbb baby ada depan i and i can still supervise the maid.  ohhhh berangan!  tp kan mmg ideal sgt la rasanya kalau dapat work from home ni.

Apapun, kita doa byk2. mudah mudahan mmg rezeki i and rezeki baby i. Amin... amin....

House Chores Day... againnn....

Wah! bersemangat bangun pagi today ok.  Pukul 7am tu kira pagi la jugak for a WAHW* ye.  Actually after hubby left for work, tried to "guling-guling" ala2 hindustan atas katil but the eyes just don't want to fall asleep.  1st may be cos my baby is head-banging on my tummy wall from the inside asking for something to eat and 2nd because I just can't stop thinking of my stain floor!

Honestly, I am not always rajin to kemas rumah. Ok la, not fair for me to say that, kesian diriku ini. anyway, i kemas rumah cara i la kan. as long as it looks neat and clean, and i can receive some impromtu guests kira ok la kan.  

So prior to expecting, mmg my weekdays tu i kemas ala2 kadar je la sbb nya my weekend helper would come every Sunday and do the necessary cleaning and mopping.  So what I would normally do is susun2 cushion yg berteraburan sbb my dear hubby kalau duduk atas couch habis semua cushion dia tolak bawah!  lagi i susun2 newspapers, again my dear hubby juga la kan yg dipersalahkan sbb mungkin dia igt newspapers tu ada kaki sendiri nak naik atas coffee table tu balik.  i would do the dusting and vacuuming sikit2 la utk mana2 habuk yg nampak tu.  tapi x kuasa la nak angkat bwh carpet and gulung2 tikar kan.  Apatah lagi nak mop lantai, lagi la malas. ni mmg sgt sgt sgt malas la.  Of cos again, kalau dah comot sgt lantai tu mop la juga ala kadar.  Apapun, ujung minggu mmg tunggu helper yg overhaul the whole house lah. hihihi.

Anyway, i realised that when i first got to know i am carrying, yg i sangat2 x boleh tgk is foot stains on the floor.  Aduh, sakitnya permandangan.  Tak kisah la human foot stains ke, my kitties feet stains.. ohhhh tidakkk!!  Tak suka, tak suka, tak suka!  So i end up cleaning the house like really clean it.  Anddddd... I vacuum and mop the floor ok!  Bukan sekali... dalam seminggu tu kalau npk ala2 stain, x kisah la stain apa, kalau tgk sampai geramm, haaa ada la gak dua tiga kali mop lantai tu seminggu! Hebat x? Huhuhuhu.  Of cos  bila mop tu, baldi xde la penuh ngan air, i pun takut nak angkat berat, just enuf untuk mop one area then tukar and mop another area.  plus rumah i xde la besar pun nak mop byk area kan.

As the pregnancy advances, mmg cepat mengah la mak ni yob nak mop2 lantai ni.  So what i do is I take a break in between each task.  Kiranya, mula2 do all the dusting, susun2 bantal, newspaper, surat2 etc.  Then take 10 mins break.  Pastu vacuum pulak.  Then take some time off kejap depending tahap kepenatan tu.  Lastly baru mop.  Mop ni usually bila nak move to another area i would take a break gak sbb penat seh!  And since ada 3 area utk di mop which are the living area, dining area and kitchen so mmg task ni paling lama la.  And of cos, the speed i kemas x de la cam keretapi express tu ok.  I take my own sweet time.. my own pace.  Bukan nak msk contest sapa kemas paling cepat kan! Anyway, cakap pasal contest, kalau lah ada contest "sapa kemas paling cepat" sure kawan i yg bernama Mira tu join contest tu sbb dia mmg hantu contest. Hihi. Sorry Mira, seringan jap. Tetiba teringat u bila cakap pasal contest. Hihi.

Actually come to think of it, there are some goods coming from the progesterone ye.  Bukan semua yg x best je. Hehe.  At least, by doing some household cleaning, it is some form of exercise for me to move around.  Selain swimming la kan.  Plus, it's kinda save some money too sbb since dah kemas rumah dua tiga kali seminggu, mcm membazir lak  nak panggil my weekend helper tu sbb the house wont need major weekly overhaul like before.  Hence, dah x payah nak gaduh2 ngan my mum rebut helper tu sbb my mum pun asyik je nak helper tu kemas rumah dia. Heh!

But of cos, I xde la overdo everything.  Keselamatan ibu dan anak perlu diutamakan juga. Yang berat2 utk diangkat i'll wait for hubby to do it.  Tapi macam x byk je task angkat2 benda berat tu.  All baju2 yg need to be hand-washed, hubby willingly take over the task.  Tiap2 malam balik kerja mencangkung dalam toilet memberus baju2 tu.  Sian hubby.  And all cats matters ie. tugas2 kemas cage, do their litter, mandi kan kucing2 mmg hubby dah amek aleh since awal2 lagi.  And sometimes adik2 i datang, diorg pun suka gak mandi2 kan kucing2 tu.  So, what ever there is yg i mampu and terdaya and of cos x memudaratkan myself and my little bouncy, inshaAllah i masih boleh buat.  Kalau lepas2 ni dah x larat sgt, mmg kena pass baton la kan. hihi.  Terfikir juga, agaknya rajin anak mummy nanti bila dah besar. Doa2 begitu la inshaAllah..

* WATH - Working At Home Wife

Meeting with a "pemburu kepala"

I'm supposed to be having a meeting today with a headhunter for a job opportunity at this one company.  The meeting was supposed to be at 5pm.  Tapi... x pasal2 postponed to 7.30pm pulak.  Suruh reschedule to tomorrow, dia ckp dah ada other appoinments pulak. Pastu nak reschedule to Thursday.  Hellooo... suka hati je kan... maybe Maulidur Rasul means nothing to her sbb dia CHA YA NUN ALIF but to me i respect that day ok. plus ada kenduri pun hari tu so x kuasa la nak gi jumpa dia kan. 

I malas nak reschedule lagi sbb next week pun i'll be out of town so lama sgt nanti takut i lost the chance pulak.  Lagipun this post sgt sesuai sgt dengan my background.  Regional Tax Manager - Expat Support Service.  Manatau ada rezeki baby kan, dapat la mummy kerja ni.  I pun xde la high hope sgt sbb not many companies would want to hire a pregnant lady.  But again, i always believe in rezeki.  Kita cuba je, kalau Allah dah tentu kan rezeki kita, inshaAllah x kemana.  Same applies to the little bouncy yg tgh growing inside my uterus ni.  Semua ni rezeki dari Nya.

So nampak gayanya solat magrib kat The Curve la hari ni sbb kalau solat kat rumah, harus la x sempat nak sampai The Curve by 7.30pm tu.  Yes, with the traffic and all... letih mak!  So mungkin i'll be leaving home around 6pm, jalan2 kat The Curve, shopping baju baby, solat magrib, then jumpa org tu.  Sound like a perfect plan.  InshaAllah..

On another note, pagi tadi I had turned down one interview from this company called Mewah Oil.  Masa apply tu ingat kan company dia kat KL.  Rupa2nya dekat Pulau Indah.  What the fish! Where the heck is that?!  Org tu ckp area port klang.  Oh no! giler jauh... x nak la... so awal2 i turned down the interview.  Yelah, i cant see myself travelling all the way there. Ntah sesat ke mana pulak nanti kan.  It's ok.  InshaAllah ada rezeki lain.  Amin...

CHRIS BROWN - DON'T JUDGE ME.

Jom Layannn.....

[Verse 1:]

I don't wanna go there

We should never go there (damn)

Why you wanna go there?

I guess I gotta go there

[Pre-Hook:]

You're hearing rumours about me

And you can't stomach the thought

Of someone touching my body

When you're so close to my heart

I won't deny what they saying

Because most of it is true

But it was all before I fell for you

[Hook:]

So please babe

So please don't judge me

And I won't judge you

Cause it could get ugly

Before it gets beautiful

Please don't judge me

And I won't judge you

And if you love me

Then let it be beautiful

Let it be beautifu-u-ul, let it be beautiful

Let it be beautifu-u-ul, let it be beautiful

[Verse 2:]

Everything I say right now

Is gonna be used in another fight

And I've been through this so many times

Can we change the subject?

You gonna start asking me questions like:

"Was she attractive? Was she an actress?"

Baby the fact is

[Pre-Hook:]

You're hearing rumours about me

And saw some pictures online

Saying they got you so angry

Making you wish you were blind

Before we start talking crazy

Saying some things we'll regret

Can we just slow it down and press reset (damn).

You're beautiful

[Hook:]

So, baby

So please don't judge me

And I won't judge you

Cause it could get ugly

Before it gets beautiful

Please don't judge me

And I won't judge you

And if you love me

Then let it be beautiful

[Bridge:]

Just let the past

Just be the past

And focus on things

That are gonna make us laugh

Take me as I am, not who I was

I'll promise I'll be, the one that you can trust

[Hook:]

So please

So please don't judge me (don't judge me)

And I won't judge you (I won't)

Cause it could get ugly

Before it gets beautiful (before it gets beautiful)

Please don't judge me (so please don't)

And I won't judge you

And if you love me

Then let it be beautiful

Let it be beautiful [x4]

Let it be beautiful ay

Let it be beautiful yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro:]

I don't wanna go there baby yeah

We should never go there

One more week and holiday!! yay!!

Ok before semua orang kepelikan, that word "holiday" kat title tu untuk i je ye. untuk hubby bukan holiday.  Kami ke Penang nanti sbb hubby kerja so for him, it is not holiday. only untuk diriku ini je holiday... bercuti dari menjalankan tugas2 housewife di rumah. hehhehehe.

Oh excited! sebab dah lama x gi jalan.  And lagi excited sbb this time around we are not gonna stay at Vistana Hotel. Yelah! Last year, every time gi Penang asyik duduk kat Vistana je.  Bosan gak balik2 the same place.  Nasib la bantal kat Vistana tu fluffy and so comfy, tu yg I don't mind at all. 

But this time, hubby said that we will be staying at..... jeng jeng jeng....

Eh eh, x leh reveal skrg. x surprise la. Actually I pun tatau hotel tu camna. Best ke x.  Tapi google2 cam menarik je. Hubby siap cakap dalam bilik ada jacuzzi.  best best!!

We will wait and see! Harap2 la x mengecewakan sbb as usual, hubby gi kerja, I'll be staying in the room / using the hotel facilities.  So harus la best ye hotel tu nanti... hopefully!

From Nescafe to Milo!

Hubby is a hard core nescafe drinker.  

Me, on the other hand.. not really! 

I don't usually drink nescafe unless betul2 terasa nak minum, then I would make one for me once in a blue moon.  Kadang2 taking a sip from hubby's mug pun is good enuf.  That is why when I decided to be off caffeine in order for a better chance to conceive, it is not really difficult cos I can just don't drink it.

Little that I know, during my 1st trimester, all I want is to drink nescafe! To be more specific, nescafe ice ok!  Yes yes, I know that it is not good to have caffeine while pregnant. But it was so damn hard to resist! Did some readings and none of it said preggers should give up caffeine totally while carrying.  We can still drink coffee but it has to be limited to 2 cups a day.  Ok, good enuf for me!  So I continue taking my nescafe ice every alternate days.  It is so refreshing and i feel so satisfied after each mug of nescafe ice!

As I entered my 13th week, i realised i no longer crave for nescafe! What do I crave now?  

MILO!!

To be specific, air milo yang kita letak dalam freezer and bila dia cam dekat2 nak jadi ice cream tu.  Yummeh!!  

Milo is also another drink that I seldom drink before I conceived. Kalau terasa nak minum pun, masa lepak2 kat mamak. So stok milo mmg xde la kat rumah kan.

1st day terasa nak milo, pau kat umah my MIL... hehhe.. sanggup! 

Then the next day suruh hubby gi beli.  Just a small package will do. Takut kejap je craving ni kan. HuHU!

So let see when am entering my 3rd trim, inshaAllah, nanti air apa pulak yg i nak minum sampai terbayang.. :)))

xoxo, 

Naz

Just what i need!

I think I missed following hubby outstation!

So today, when hubby came back from work and said that he might need to go for an audit in Penang end of January, guessed who got sooooo excited?!!

Me! Me! Me!

InshaAllah, dah masuk 3 bulan ni confident sikit nak travel.  Masa awal2 tu mmg we tried not to travel far sbb baru lagi kan. And of cos, plus all the morning sickness that happened in the evening and night, tak kuasa la nak travel2 ni!

But I guessed I really need the change of air now... and a week away is good enough!  And looks like I have to get my sisters to babysit my 4 furkids then!  Thank god they are all on study break soon!

DOA SITI AMINAH, amalan untuk ibu mengandung.

Morning alls!

Last night hubby bgtau pasal satu blog ni.  Dia cakap sambil online tu usha2 la blog tu sbb ada doa2 yg boleh diamalkan utk keselamatan and perlindungan untuk anak or anak yg dalam kandungan.  Semalam dah tgk dah tapi sbb too sleepy to continue, maka surfing tu disambung today :)

So here, sharing with all of u utk diamalkan (oh, dah mintak izin utk share kat owner blog tu.. hihi).  InshaAllah semoga doa kita semua dimakbulkan oleh Nya.

"Doa ini selalu di baca oleh Siti Aminah semasa mengandungkan Baginda Rasulullah saw. Bagi ibu-ibu yang sedang hamil, selain membaca surah-surah yang tertentu daripada Al-Quran untuk kandungannya, maka molek benar lah dia membaca doa ini setiap hari sebagai pelindung kepada kandungan. Agar kandungan selamat di dalam jagaan Allah Taala sehingga lahir ke dunia.

Doa ini telah diijazahkan kepada saya oleh Tok Sayyid Padang Kala hafizohullah. Dengan suka hati, saya ijazahkan pula doa ini kepada sesiapa sahaja yang suka dan gemar mengamalkan doa yang amat baik ini. Kata guru saya, doa ini jika sentiasa diwiridkan oleh si ibu, selain selamat anak dalam kandungannya insyaallah juga akan memudahkan proses bersalinnya nanti. Boleh juga di doakan untuk keselamatan anak-anak kita yang berada di kejauhan. maklumlah mereka ini bukannya sentiasa berada di depan mata kita. sebagai ibubapa sudah tentu akan ada rasa khuatir akan keselamatan anak-anak. Inilah doanya di baca 3 kali sambil tangan memegang perut :

ٲﻋﻴﺬﮦ ﺒﺎﻠﻮﺍﺤﺪ ﺍﻠﺼﻤﺪ ﻤﻦ ﺸﺮ ﻜﻞ ﺬﻱ ﺣﺎﺴﺪ

“Uu i’zuhu bilwahidisshomadi min syarri kulli zi hasidin”

ertinya: Aku melindunginya dengan Tuhan yang maha esa yang menjadi tempat tumpuan segala makhluk daripada kejahatan tiap-tiap pendengki."

NT Screening and what it stands for!

Hi peeps! Ok, with reference to my post here, i finally had the "kerajinan" untuk menggoogle what NT Screening is all about.

Ampun ye... nampak sgt malas nak buat research sbb bz benda lain.  Sebab tu la x leh jadi doctor. Hehe. Anyway, this is what NT Screening stands for!!

NT Screening = Nuchal Translucency screening

Ok, bukan new trimester screening or next trimester screening seperti yang di assumed kat in my previous post. hehehehe...

Here are the summarisation of the findings from various sites for my better understanding and knowledge.  Some sites use more layman terms than some sites. so i just take apa yg i faham.  too much medical terms, pening gue! Yelah, we are not all doctors here and nak kena paham all those medical terms kan.. huhu.

• The nuchal translucency screening test is among the newest of the many first-trimester screening tests now being offered to pregnant women. The nuchal translucency (NT) screening test — basically a specialized ultrasound — lets you know if you're at an increased risk for having a baby with a chromosomal problem such as Down syndrome. 

• The test focuses on a small, clear space in the tissue at the back of your growing baby's neck called the nuchal fold. Experts have found that this spot tends to accumulate fluid and, as a result, expand in size in babies who have genetic abnormalities like Down syndrome (caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes that contain our genetic code), trisomy 18 (an extra copy of chromosome 18), and trisomy 13 (an extra number 13 chromosome). 

• Nuchal translucency screening — which must be performed between 11 to 14 weeks of pregnancy (after that, the tissue gets so thick that it is no longer translucent, rendering the test inconclusive) — is done with a highly sensitive ultrasound machine (but like a regular sonogram, is considered safe). 

• A sonographer will first measure your baby from crown to rump, to confirm his or her gestational age, before zooming in on the nuchal fold and measuring its thickness on the screen. That value, plus the mother's age and the baby's gestational age, will be entered into a formula that calculates the probability of a chromosomal abnormality. 

• NT measurements are not conclusive, so the NT screening test can't tell you for sure whether your child has a chromosomal disorder, but it can be combined with other data (from blood tests and from population studies) to provide a statistic about the likelihood of such a disorder. 

• What is a normal measurement? An NT of less than 3.5mm is considered normal when your baby measures between 45mm and 84mm. The NT normally grows in proportion with your baby.

 This image shows a baby with a normal NT of 1.3mm. This baby will be low risk. However, an increased NT does not mean there is definitely a problem. Some babies without Down's have increased fluid too.

This image shows a baby with an NT of 2.9mm, which is within the limit of normal range. Nine out of 10 babies with a measurement between 2.5mm and 3.5mm will be completely normal.

As the NT increases, so does the risk of Down's and other chromosomal abnormalities. The baby in this imagehas an NT of 6mm and has a high risk of Down's, as well as other chromosomal abnormalities and heart problems. Fortunately, not many babies have as much fluid as this.

Ok peeps! Hope this is beneficial to all... it is definitely to me! buat je screening tapi dunno for what.. hihihi. so now bila tgk balik my report baru la 99% faham the terms and measurement. :))

Till then,

Bye bye kecik :(

The kittens are now 3 months plus.  Cepatnya masa berlalu.  Seperti yang dijanjikan I have to give 2 of them away sbb takde capacity nak jaga all 6 cats with my condition now.  Dari awal lagi dah set nak bg yang mana sbb tak mo manja kan diorg sgt nanti sedeh.  Tapi kalau dah membesar depan mata.  With their cuteness etc, mmg sedeh jugak la to let go.  But what to do.  Kena let go juga.  so dengan berat hati semalam kecik left us to live with his new daddy (little sister's bf).  Here some of kecik pictures before he left us :(

Self portrait of kecik.  cumel sgt!

Side view :)

kecik & mummy rez

daddy kissed kecik before he left us

Obviously daddy fluff and other siblings tak la sedeh sgt.  But mummy rez noticed anak dia takde.  so she was searching and sniffing around the house cari anak dia.  walaupun yang tiga lagi dok berlari2 kacau mummy dia, tapi i think she can still feel one is missing. nak nanges i tengok ok! dah la tgh sensitip skrg ni. huhuhu.

This saturday stoken pulak will be taken away.  am so sad. rasa berdosa pulak separate them from their mummy.  sian rez, penat2 give birth then anak2 kena take away.  sorry sayang, mummy have to.  tapi mummy bagi dekat org yang rapat ngan kita so that mummy pun boleh tgk kecik and stoken membesar.  mummy rez x mo risau2 ok. they are in good care.

NT Screening

I am now into my 12th week, alhamdulillah.. :)

Dr Sofi scheduled me for a NT Screening.  Honestly i have no clue what does NT stands for.  haish.. all these medical terms/short forms.. x paham gue!  NT = new trimester? or next trimester? arghh.. wat ever it is, x kisah la.. i only hope that the little bouncy is healthy.

Anyway, kat report tu it says 1st Trimester Screening, so NT tu, maybe maksud dia new trimester kot. lol.  So here's the report and little bouncy's 12th week picture.

Alhamdulillah, all organs appear normal.

Little bouncy at GA 12w2d

Alhamdulillah, little bouncy is healthy.  Very active indeed.  Dr Sofi nak tgk counting heartbeat pun kena few times sbb baby asyik lompat2.  Happy ye sayang.  Semua appear normal.  Baby is now 5.71cm.  Placenta dah nampak masa scan tu. Dr Sofi ckp it is in the right place.  Tak tutup laluan.  Syukur alhamdulillah.  Harap2 as the baby grows, placenta x bergerak menutup laluan tu.

As mummy is concerned, at the moment, my sugar level is in control.  Dr Sofi pun happy. I lagi la happy.  Dr kata next appointment baru start new vitamins. as  of now still continue acid folic and aspirin.  Next appointment is in 4 weeks time.  Lamanya nak tunggu.  I dont mind kalau kena pergi every week or every 2 weeks like before as long dpt tgk this little bouncy.  Tapi Dr Sofi ckp, npk semua ok so not to worry.  InshaAllah.  I yakin Allah swt jaga baby kat dalam. InshaAllah xde apa2.

Sekarang I noticed that I my evening and night dah x brp nak mual and muntah.  the feeling is still there. tapi not as bad as before la. i still dont have a very good appetite to eat but am sure my appetite will come back soon.  masa tu nak kena jaga pulak sbb nk kena monitor my weight juga so that x increase too drastically.

Okie dokie folks. till then.

Very Itchy Tummy

I was looking at my tummy and saw the obvious lines of Stretch Marks.  Then bagitau la hubby.  Pastu dia gelak dia cakap, "eh yang tu bukan belum pregnant pun mmg dah ada ke?" cisssss!  yelah, mmg la dulu pun ada tapi yang ni mmg obvious.  And yang buat lagi obvious tu sbb this Stretch Mark sgt gatal ok!

wahh.. memang sedap menggaru la.. asyik je. pastu tgk dah start merah2. opppss!! hubby ckp jangan garu tapi time dia x npk, garu gak. hihi. sedap giler!  

then i started to google.  mak aiii! mmg x digalakkan menggaru sbb nanti jadi teruk.  nak share pic kat sini pun cam seriau.  So i looked for alternatives.. besides cutting my nails short! well, kuku mmg kena cut short gak sbb kadang2 tido x sedar dok menggaru!

Memang banyak la cream and lotion for Stretch Mark.  Among all, i chose this... no specify reasons. Ni nampak lagi tempting i supposed.

I bought this in Caring Pharmacy for RM31.  Suka sgt sbb texture dia sangat pekat sebab it's a cream.  kalau lotion cam cair and too watery.  Nonetheless, I got the lotion as a free gift so pakai juga la. hihi.

the free gift.

So now mmg suka sgt sapu kat perut utk hilang kan gatal. mmg elok sgt and hilang gatal. yay! 

mission accomplished!  No more garu2. :))

Daddy listening to mummy's tummy ;p

Credit : Google Image

Ok, obviously at 11+ weeks, my tummy belum besar cam kat atas tu ye.  And obviously that is not my husband either.  Hubby ku lagi macho kot dr gambar yg kat atas tu. hik hik.  Tapi nak guna gambar sendiri, malu la pulak sbb sexy mexy. so kita pinjam gambar google je la ye.

Out of no where hubby tiba2 cakap, nak dengar heartbeat baby! Erk, boleh dengar ke? baby kecik lagi la yang! So dia terus selak t-shirt and tanya baby kat mana.  I pointed him using my hand sambil usap2 kat my lower abdomen.  Dia pun terus letak telinga kat situ.  Time i ni pulak dok tergelak2 sbb geli.  Pastu dia pun gelakk! 

Dia cakap bunyi perut adalah.. bunyi angin.  Memang pun! i mmg dok rasa byk angin je ni. tatau camna nak buang angin ni.  Nak minum air halia, takut panas pulak.  Dengan constipation nya lagi.. aduh..

Pastu hubby usap2 bawah perut tu and cakap2 ngan baby.  Best gak kena usap, hilang rasa loya.  Timbul rasa disayangi pulak.. bluwekk!!

2012 - A chillax & miracle year!

It's the 4th day into the year 2013 but am still yet to write on my journey back in 2012.  Some moments and occasions need to be written down so that in years to come, boleh la baca balik and mesmerise those wonderful moments :)

The year 2012 started me off as a full time housewife.  I finally got a consent from dear hubby to take a break from work due to massive stress at work. Lol.  Well, it was supposed to be temporary actually thus the green light from him.  So i took few months to chill and relax.  There was no pressure from dear hubby for me to start work asap so  I took the liberty to enjoy doing "nothing".  Nothing as in brain-stress related work!  Cause i still have house chores and personal errands to run :)  Of course i enjoyed it very much to be a stay at home wife... oh i wish i can substitute that to "stay at home mother" but due to the fact that the only baby at home was fluffy so the term "stay at home wife" would be perfect  :)

So apart from doing some house chores (because the main ones were done by my weekend maid), ran errands, busy settling the rent of my condo in shah alam, I enjoyed the 1st half of 2012 going on holidays, followed hubby outstations, had lunches with friends during their lunch break and many more chill and relax occasions.  Came June I was busy helping my sister with her solemnisation ceremony.  Though I feel that I should already look for a job by now, I make sister's solemnisation as another excuse to find a job... konon nak lepas kan her nikah dulu!!

Of course, on a separate note, along the way, hubby and i have been trying to conceive very seriously.  From the 1st month i resigned, mmg semangat waja both of us working towards that.  Mengurut pun pergi, org recommend makan tu, kita makan.  Makan ni, kita makan.  All for the sake towards making our dreams come true.  Yelah, ikhtiar selagi boleh.  Lagipun, time waits for no man.  And our ages are catching up.  And the scariest thing is that fertility drops every year that we aged.  Tapi yelah, kalau buat apa sekali pun, if belum rezeki, maka belum lah.  He knows best.

Then Ramadhan was approaching, so I told hubby I might as well start looking for a job seriously since i dah start rasa bosan sbb too much time doing "nothing".  He nodded.  But luck was not on my side, went for interviews but takde rezeki.  So I entered Ramadhan still as a housewife.  But it was a blessed as this year, I get to really menghayati Ramadhan.  I went for Terawih prayer almost every night.  I even joined the Qiamulai Night. Alhamdulillah.  Something that i definitely would not have the energy to do if i was working.  well, knowing how my nature of work was.  A blessing in disguise indeed!

As the Ramadhan ended, well, a week before it ended, I noticed something strange.  My menses was late.  Well, I had all the cramps but yet nothing appeared down there.  So I waited.  But due to curiosity, i could wait no longer.  Konon nya nak tgk agak2 kalau menses come on Raya day, dah tak leh solat sunat Syawal la nampaknya.  So I did the Urine Pregnancy Test (UPT).  And to my surprised, 2nd line appeared slowly and within the blink of an eye, the line got darken.  At there it was, 2 lines on my UPT stick!  The moment that I have been waiting for.. finally, right in front of my eyes!

Ingat kan panas sampai ke petang, rupanya hujan di tengahari.  Right after Raya, at about 9 weeks pregnancy, I had my 1st scan.  My baby had no heartbeat.  Redha... itu je yang mampu dilakukan.  Allah swt pinjam kan selama 9 minggu before it was taken back.  Sedih mmg sedih, but looking at a bright side, mungkin janin ni tak sihat sbb tu it was taken back. One day Allah swt akan bagi yang lain, yang lebih sihat.  InshaAllah.  More detailed story on this, boleh baca kat sini, sini dan sini ye.    

After miscarriage, kehidupan dilalui seperti biasa.  Of course, i did my "pantang" betul2.  Makan ubat2 traditional, pergi berurut, pantang makan, pantang bersama, etc etc for 30+ days.  And I got my 1st menses just at the right time.  No delay delly.. alhamdulillah.

The last 2 months before the year ended, i started to hunt for job again.. actively! Ada la jugak yang panggil interview but still, belum ada rezeki lagi.  As TTC is concerned, hubby and I have discussed that we shall wait for a few months before TTC again.  Bagi betul2 sihat and fit then we'll all out again.  I'm alright with that.

Then come 1st Muharram.  15 November 2012.  5 days before hubby's birthday.  And the time for my 2nd menses cycle to appear.  Ye! tangan saya gatal kot.  Walaupun belum missed period lagi, saja2 pergi buat UPT.  Funny sbb it was heat at the moment.  Takde la rasa anythg pun, but saja gatal nak pee on the stick!  And the result was again... positive!  Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah... The rest of the entries on this boleh la baca kat sini kalau nak.

In December, nothing much happened.  I was hospitalised for 5 days for sugar stabilization. Prep for another big event in my family - my sister's wedding reception.  And the rest of the weeks till year end was quiet.

Last but not least, it is still quite embarrasing to admit that my relationship with Allah S.W.T in 2012 was still below my expectation. Teramat memalukan. After so much that He gave, I know ibadah yang dilakukan masih belum cukup.  Walaupun alhamdulillah dari segi solat, ada perubahan, tapi masih lagi tunggu hujung waktu baru nak solat. ish ish ish... InshaAllah, I will ensure that this improves in the coming years. Aminn..

As we have entered 2013, I hope that this year bring new opportinuties, new beginnings and new discoveries for me. And that I am a better person to myself, people around me and as a khalifah di bumi Allah S.W.T. And I also wish that 2013 will be somewhat a more meaningful year and a dream come true year for me and hubby. InsyaAllah.

Jom jadi doctor!

Masa kecik2 dulu, selain dari suka main kawin2, suka gak main doktor2 ni kan. Kalau main kawin2, sorang jadi pengantin laki, sorang jadi pengantin pompuan.  And bila main doktor2, of cos la kena ada doktor and patient.  Nevertheless, semua tu masa zaman dulu2. Zaman berhingus lagi.  Bila dah meningkat dewasa ni dah xde masa nak main2 dah.  Semua busy bee and dah matured la kononnya. Lol.

Masa kecik2 dulu, kalau kata bermain, mmg fun to the max la.  Unfortunately, bila main doktor2 ngan hubby skrg ni, x de la fun dgt. lol.  Sbb this time kena cocok real punya! Since I am diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus a.k.a. diabetes during pregnancy, so selain makan ubat, I would also need insulin sbb my GDM boleh dikatakan very early juga during pregnancy.  Selalunya org kena masa dah ujung2 pregnancy but in my case, awal2 dah tau.  So, saya yang menurut perintah, ikut je la apa yg doctor suggest.  Tak kisah la janji baby ok.  Doc said week 1 to week 14 ni baby tgh formed so mmg kena monitor very closely sbb too much sugar in blood cam cause alot of complication.  Nauzubillah... semoga dijauhkan benda yang tak elok. Amin..

So after admitted for sugar stabilization ari tu, doctor terus put me on insulin.  Kat hospital boleh la relax sbb nurse inject kan.  Tapi bila sehari dua sebelum discharge tu, dah kena belajar sendiri sbb nanti kat umah kena cocok sendiri.  So both hubby and I belajar nak camna nak jadi doctor kat umah.  I was given these new toys to play with!!

Novo Pen

Sekarang ni dah canggih.  My gynae said that before this susah, patients kena cucuk guna injection device macam yang hospital guna. So every few days kena gi hospital tukar jarum.  Now dah senang, patients are given insulin pen ni.  Basically, tiub insulin tu kita insert dlm pen ni, then bila nak guna, kita adjust dose kita yang doctor prescribed kat meter tu.  Then masa cucuk tu tekan button hitam kat hujung tu for the insulin to be released.  Insulin ni, i kena cucuk 4x sehari.  Awal2 dulu hubby la jadi doctornya.  Skrg, I lah doctor, i la juga patient nya.  Tempat untuk dicucuk is kat tempat yg berlemak.  So.. the winner utk bahagian paling berlemak is of cos perut la.. hik hik.  Sini mmg byk lemak kan, so kita cucuk la kat sini. Kurang sakit.  I pun still x sure how insulin tu works bila masuk kat lemak.  Am yet to google on that nanti.

Super Fine Needles

Ni pulak needles untuk attach kat pen tu.  Needle ni boleh guna max 3 kali cucuk je sbb kalau guna banyak kali dia jadi tumpul and bila cocok sakit.  So doctor advise 3 kali is just nice.  Jarum ni kena beli sendiri sebab hospital tak bagi. Huhuhu.. Sebiji RM0.54.  Hubby nak try claim together with some hospital bills.  Tatau la lepas ke x. Kui Kui.. Yang ni beli sekotak terus sbb mmg banyak guna.  Sekotal ada 100 biji.  Tahan la untuk 2 bulan kot.

The needle.

Ok, halus and pendek je jarum ni sebenarnya.  Sebab tu x ngeri sgt. hihihi.  Doctor dah bgtau awal2 beli yang micro fine. size dia 5mm. so x sakit sgt.  semut gigit lagi sakit. hehe.

Yang ni, u all tau la kan apa.  Alcohol swab ni harus la digunakan untuk bersihkan bahagian yang nak dicocok tu.  More hygienic la.  Masa kat hospital, nurse ckp kat rumah x payah guna alcohol swab ni sbb x byk kuman.  Kat hospital byk kuman sbb tu diorg guna.  But being me, to play safe, xpe la.. guna je jugak kat rumah.  Ni pun xde la pricey sgt.  1 kotak of 100 swabs, dlm RM9 camtu je.  Ok la kan, lebih la mencegah, kang kalau infection apa2 kang lagi susah.

My GlucoMeter

Last but not least, my very own glucometer.  Yang ni dah beli lama dah. Masa 1st pregnancy dulu sbb ms tu pun doc dah suh monitor sugar.  We bought the cheapest one in the market.  Tapi x igt la dah how much.  Nevertheless, the strips are so damn expensive ok.  Untuk refill, 25 strips for RM45.  Ish ish.  Awal dulu mmg parah la sbb sehari nak kena guna sampai 7 strips for 7 readings.  Skrg sehari 4 readings je.  Tu pun dua hari seminggu.  Nasib... huhu..

Ok peeps! That's all for now.  Till thenn...

11 weeks

Credit: Baby center

Alhamdulillah, syukur ke hadrat yang Maha Kuasa.  I am now in my 11th week.  Last scan masa 10+ weeks baby is doing great. Baby is already 3cm at that time.  Masa scan tu baby lompat2 and angkat tangan kanan kat mummy dia. Happy to see mummy right baby? I am happy to see u too dearie.  Be good inside ok.

I still have my morning sickness in the evening and at night.  So mmg akan jadi "tofu" la during this time of the day.  Nak2 nya skrg ni the endocrine added another medicine for my sugar control to help the insulin works better.  Nama ubat tu Metformin.  And from my readings, and even the Doc pun cakap yang my nausea will get worst caused by the Merformin.  So instead of taking one pill in the morning and 1 pill in the evening, I was asked to take only half pill pagi and half pill petang.  Not so bad la.

Alhamdulillah, my sugar level looks pretty good these days.  Though I don't really have to check 7 times daily like before, I am still very cautious about that so kadang2 buat juga 7 kali to make sure I am within my range.  

I also lost my appetite recently. And due to frequent vomitting and tak lalu makan, my weight drops abit.  But gynae said it's normal to lose weight or not gaining any in the 1st trimester.  Plus for an obese like me, I am not supposed to be gaining weight very much during pregnancy sbb nanti complication later on.  So even now am entering the 2nd trim, mmg kena betul2 monitor what i eat etc. 

My next scan is next week at 12th week.  Dr Sofi said that this would be more accurate to determine the EDD.  I hope everything will turn out good, inshaAllah..
