Unfaithful???

I'm 7 Months Preggie.....
By this week, your baby weighs a little over 2 pounds and measures about 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can open his eyes — which now sport lashes — and he'll turn his head toward a continuous, bright light from the outside. His fat layers are beginning to form, too, as he gets ready for life outside the womb.
How your life's changing:
You're in the home stretch! The third trimester starts this week and lasts until 40 weeks. If you're like most women, you'll gain about 11 pounds this trimester.Do your legs feel creepy-crawly at night? Tingling in your lower legs and an irresistible urge to move them is known as restless legs syndrome (RLS), and it can make it hard to relax when you're settling in. No one knows what causes RLS, but it's common among pregnant women. Try cutting down on caffeine, which can make the symptoms worse, and massage your calves when they feel tense. Some studies also show that taking iron supplements helps ease your discomfort.**************************************************************My little one sure has grown. Last Friday visit to my gynae was superb. I now weigh 65kg. I roughly gained close to 10kg. Not much I guess. My belly only started showing its bump presence when I ventured into my 5th month. And when I reached my 6th month, people ask me how many months am I? and when I told them, they would go like...."yeee??? keciknye....". Oooo dear...was I dead worried to get this kind of responds. So I asked my gynae is little one doing ok. Dr AA scanned little one and assured me he is doing fine. He weighs 1.53kg and that is slightly bigger than the norm. Alhamdulillah. Dr AA said because I'm tall, I have plenty of space for little one to grow inside his Ibu hence the little tummy. So nothing to worry....phhheeewww......I never thought that I can get all stressed out listening remarks from people, put aside my usual crankiness and mood swings, sure ain't easy to handle. It's true what my friend Cik Li said, before your baby is in your hands, you already have developed that mother instinct in you. I officially have mother instinct in me now. Though sometimes I feel that I am not matured enough....hehehe...Being in my 7th months has been nothing but magical. Little one is so active nowadays sometimes I feel like he's trying to communicate with me. His kicking is becoming more and more strong and powerful that sometimes shock me. I read that now he can actually hear me talking and also all the sounds around me. So now Mr Hubby and I try as much to include him in our conversation. Sounds crazy huh....but it's kinda fun.Serious!! Sometimes we feel that he knows when we're talking about him. The other day Mr Hubby and I decided that we should have our first shopping trip to buy Little one's stuff. As though he was listening, when I was rubbing my tummy and said that we're going shopping for Little one. I felt his movement. No joke. Well ok la...maybe it was coincidence but I'm pretty sure he was as excited as we were. Aren't you baby HD??? :) Shopping for baby HD is not easy and cheap I must tell ya. Will blog on that more in another entry okay.Ooo yea...we have decided on Little ones' name. As for now let's just call him by his initials shall we. HD. Not high definition tv ok. So far no signs of changing the name. I checked the meaning of his name already and its good. I'm happy beyond words. Sometimes I feel like baby HD is already beside me. I feel his presence and whenever I wanna do something, baby HD's comfort will be top priority. At the moment, I think baby HD is sleeping coz he's been quiet this last couple of hours. Sleep my precious.....you need the rest so that later you can do your kung fu kicking and somersault exercise. Now that I'm in my 3rd trimester, I do not have morning sickness anymore. No more nausea, no more dizziness but I do still feel like vommiting whenever I brush my teeth.Hhhmmm...dunno why. I've gained back a bit of my energy but sometimes doing housechores can be pretty exhausting. So people.....if you come to my house and see the place a bit chaotic, please understand. Being preggie, I notice I have no desire at all to decorate my house. Probably it's the hormones but what I do notice is that I know pay extra attention on what I wear. Yes I do. That explains why in less than a month, I have bought more than 5 head scarf that matches with all my maternity top. Under normal hormone balance, I do not splurge on head scarf, just as long as I have the basic colors, black ,cream, white, etc, I'm fine. I love my new interest. Hehehe....I already have a shopping list for baby HD. Boy....it sure gonnna cost us a bomb. Imagine a stroller could coz you more than Rm300. Yes of course you can get cheaper ones but I am not sure of the quality. A complete set of a play-pen and bed including the covers cost more than our bedroom set. Hhhhmmmmm.......maybe I should start taking up carpentry classes so that I can make our own . Hehehe.....

Blog Yang Dah Bersawang....
My two nieces (Kak Long's lovely daughter) came to my house and stayed for about a week. So I dragged them everywhere I go. Those two young girls have grown up and becoming more and more pretty. People would think they're twins. When you have two teenage girls living with you, you just don't know what they are up to. Imagine how shocked I was when I came out of my room one day and found one of them holding my iron on one hand and a comb on the other, and the other one was lying on the carpet in the living room. I was like....what the *&%^ is going on???? What reply did I get??? "Rileks la Mak Lang....ktrg nak iron rambut nih.....dah biasa dah wat mcm ni..." said Ida the eldest. "Lagi pun cara ni lagi bagus..." added Ana. Aiiiyyyooo.....tak jadi makcik nak marah...terus tergelak jer. And took some pictures of them in action.
My nieces even offered to iron my hair. No thank you dearest. Not that I don't trust you girls but....well.....I don't wanna burden you girls....hehehe.
On a different note but still regarding the girls, because the girls stayed with me, being a good aunty that I have always been, I COOKED for them!!!huhuhu.....thanks to them I now know how to prepare kari ayam and sambal udang and kurma ayam. Hoorayyyy....ok...it's nothing to shout about to those of you who like cooking but for someone like me, I hate going into the kitchen, I hate cooking, I hate preparing to cook....I hate them all....., it was an achievement ok! The day that I cooked kari ayam, Abah was at my house. He told Mama that my kari ayam was infact sedap. Pat on my shoulder......hehehe. Thanks to Mama for being my life-line by giving me the instruction to cook all those dishes. I never told Ana and Ida about that. Muka confident jer kat dapur and masak as though I've been doing this for a looooonnnngggg time. Terer makcik berlakon.... :p
I got a lot to write actually.....but my eyes are not giving their best cooperation to stay wide open. I'm at work but i have no drive to do my work.....ok la....nnti sambung citer lagi ok....adios....

Raya Saya..
After that we went back to my place (remember...my family are here). It's beraya with my family lak. I had Mama's nasi impit and kuah kacang and rendang. By the time I finish eating, I couldn't breathe haha.....kekenyangan. As usual we had our bersalam and minta maaf and bagi duit raya session. And also as usual Adik will crack his jokes and made all of us laughed tergolek golek. Then a bit later Kak Ngah and family came. Yeyyy....the more the merrier. The boys (Naim and Aboy) wore their new clothes which Mama bought for them. They had that happy and satisfied look written all over their faces. Lover and I couldn't stay too long as we then had to go back to lover's kampung in Sg Besar. So we said our goodbyes and went off. Huhuhuuu....urs truly was a bit sad(not a bit....devastated..sedih tak terkata sampai nangis tk kuar suara few days before raya..ok...yes..I was very emotional bout all this tak-dapat-beraya-with-family-like-always) but after a long heart-to-heart talk with Mama few days before raya, urs truly has finally understood her responsibilities as lover's wifey. I have so much to learn.
We reached Sg Besar close to 4pm. Rested for a while then all of us (read: lover's siblings all together 6 of them) started our jalan-jalan beraya. I can't remember the names of the relatives that we visited. Hehehe....ramai sangat ok. But I have to admit I actually did have fun. When you mention Sg Besar...it would usually means acres and acres of padi field. Urs trully being a so-called-konon-city-girl got all excited to see the long stretch of green padi field and not forgetting the burung bangau yg bersepah-sepah...literally. Love it...love it. Atok's house is located in the middle of a large padi field. Cool giler....This year Atok...lover's paternal grandfather has to beraya alone without Nenek. Nenek passed away last year a day before raya. But to my surprise Atok looked so healthy even with cigarettes on his fingers. Hehe....just like Abah. Our beraya session ended late that nite. sampai jer umah Yuk....I slept. Kepenatan. I thought I could sleep like a baby plus it was raining heavily...sedap la tido but noooo....my stomach decided that 12a.m would be a good time to visit the loo. After much hesitant whether to wake lover up to teman me....finally decided to go alone. Then only I managed to sleep till morning.
At 6am Angah aka BIL woke everbody up for Solat Subuh.....I was perplexed to see him all excited waking up early in the morning....hhhhmmmm....why is he all excited???hahaha....then the truth prevailed. Angah nak main mercun!!!! Remember last nite it was rainning cats and dogs. So the guys tk dapat nk main mercun yg Angah bought. Urs truly pun sebok2 gak kat bawah....konon tengok2 kan BIL's children (Along's children) main bunga api. But actually was excited watching the bunga api-mercun show.
We left Sg Besar later in the afternoon after another round of beraya session. And back to my place...yeyyyyy. The next morning drove back to Ipoh with family. Raya in Ipoh was no fun at all...sigh. Reason being I was sick due to gastric and constipation. I guess all the nasi impit...ketupat..rendang...was way too overwhelming for my tummy after a month of rest. Well...anyways...Kak Long came over on Friday....My two lovely nieces and nephew sure have grown up since I last saw them. Mak Lang feel so old darlings. Don't grow up so fast. My niece Ana was all excited looking at my tummy.hehehe.....
I guess my raya this has been a memorable one. I love every minute of it....yes...including the time I sakit perut and kena gastric. My favorite part was when I bersalam with lover to seek his forgiveness. Lega rasenyer....Yang...kire 0 - 0 la ye.....muaaahhhsssss.....
p/s: photos nanti la post...

STRESS AND PREGNANCY
Pregnancy is supposed to be a delightful time in our lives, and it can be. This, however, does not mean that it will be without stress. Even wonderful changes can cause stress. Stress is defined as any emotional, mental or physical change that can cause a disruption in the normal routine. Stress comes from both external sources and internal, stress we place on ourselves. Let's start by looking at physical sources of stress.
Changes in your body like nausea, vomiting, fatigue can effect how your do your job, interact with your friends and family. This can create stress for you and those around you. You may worry about the changes in your physical appearance. Will your body cause people to treat you differently?
Your attitude and thoughts about pregnancy and birth can also cause stress. Will you ever look like you did before pregnancy? Is labor as bad as everyone says? Will you embarrass yourself during the birth? Can you be a good mother? Dads especially, but moms too, may worry about finances and houses before the baby comes
People can become stressors. Your relationships will change, usually large changes occur with your parents and your partner. However, some people report changes in friendships, even the loss of some friends. I think that was very hard for me when I was pregnant, seeing my non-pregnant friends slowly drift away.So, what can you do about all the mental stress and physical changes?
Find out what the sources of stress are for you and evaluate what you can get rid of, and what you can change.
Nutritional habits are also very important. Eating well will prepare your body for everyday life, and also provide you with more energy.
Exercise! This will help you feel better during your waking hours and make your sleep more restful, again giving you the energy you need to deal with life.
Give up being a perfectionist. While you should always expect your best, don't worry about the small things, especially housework!
Do your relaxation exercises, even in a small dose, it can help you relieve enough tension to continue.
Remember that everyone encounters stress. Look at it as a new challenge and greet it in a calm, prepared manner.
This could be me.....so beware!!! ;p
*came across this article while blog-hopping. sure helped a lot for me in understanding my condition and current situation so that I will be able to handle them wisely.My 20th Week........
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. She's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom, and about 10 inches from head to heel. (For the first 20 weeks, we use measurements taken from the top of the baby's head to her bottom — known as the "crown to rump" measurement. After that, we use measurements from head to toe. This is because a baby's legs are curled up against her torso during the first half of pregnancy and are very hard to measure.)A greasy white substance called vernix caseosa coats her entire body to protect her skin during its long submersion in amniotic fluid. (This slick coating also eases the journey down the birth canal.)Your baby is swallowing more, which is good practice for her digestive system. She's also producing meconium, a black, sticky substance that's the result of cell loss, digestive secretion, and swallowed amniotic fluid. This meconium will accumulate in her bowels, and you'll see it in her first messy diaper (although a few babies pass it in utero or during delivery).
Surprising Facts:
Getting a good night's restIt may become more difficult to sleep through the night as your pregnancy continues, thanks to some obvious and not-so-obvious changes taking place in your body. You may be surprised to find that:
• You start snoring for the first time in your life, thanks to hormones that cause your nasal passages to swell and partially block your airways. What to do: Sleep on your side and elevate your head slightly. (hehehe...not sure bout the snoring part....have to ask hubby....)
• Heartburn and indigestion can make it extra uncomfortable to lie down in bed. What to do: Try sleeping semi-upright in a comfy recliner or propped up with pillows on the sofa. (check : you got this one right.....)
• Your legs cramp so painfully that you're jarred out of a deep sleep. This happens because your leg muscles are protesting against the extra weight they're carrying around. What to do: Ease the cramp by straightening your leg, heel first, and gently flexing your toes back toward your shins. (experienced leg cramp once the other day......sakit laaa.....huhuhuuu..)
• You toss and turn all night trying to find a comfortable sleeping position. What to do: Try sleeping with a pillow between your legs or using a contoured maternity body pillow. (nasib baik ada bantal peluk yg best....... :p )
• You become hot and sweaty in the middle of the night. It's common for pregnant women to run a little warm thanks to shifts in your metabolism, hormones, and weight. What to do: Keep your bedroom cool and strip down to the bare essentials — which may include a maternity bra and a maternity belt to help support your growing breasts and belly, and perhaps some socks if only your feet are chilly. Keep slippers and a snuggly bathrobe handy for those nighttime trips to the bathroom. ( check : the less the better...hehehe....)
• Getting out of bed is harder than ever! What to do: Roll over onto your left side and "tip" yourself up, feet first. When your legs touch the floor, use your arms to push yourself into a sitting position on the bed. Then stand up. (check : getting up used to be soooo much easier.....)*source from babycenter
p/s : I know the gender of our bundle of joy already....hehehe...... I hope everything will turn out alright. I pray I will be able to deliver our junior safely and hopefully without so much pain...huhuhu...Insya Allah. I pray our baby will be healthy and strong. Ameen.....
Heyyy...the other day our baby decided finally to let hubby feel him kicking.....hubby was elated to feel the strong kick on my tummy. For me....very ticklish ok....but the experience....I must say...PRICELESS!

TGIF..................
******************************************
A man answered, saying, "Hello." I politely said, "This is Chris. May I please speak with Robin Carter?" Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude.
I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number. After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again.
When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an @$$hole!" and hung up.
I wrote his number down with the word '@$$hole' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer.
Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're an @$$hole!" It always cheered me up.
When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic '@$$hole' calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're interested in the Caller ID program?"He yelled, "NO!" and slammed the phone down.
I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an @$$hole!"
One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car window, so I wrote down his number. A couple of days later, right after calling the first @$$hole, (I had his number on speed dial), I thought I had better call the BMW @$$hole, too.
I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?"
"Yes, it is."
"Can you tell me where I can see it?"
"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out in front."
"What's your name?" I asked.
"My name is Don Hansen," he said.
"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"
"I'm home every evening after five."
"Listen, Don, can I tell you something?"
"Yes?"
"Don, you're an @$$hole." Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too.
Now, when I had a problem, I had two @$$holes to call. But after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be So, I came up with an idea.
I called @$$hole #1."Hello.""You're an @$$hole!" (But I didn't hang up.)
"Are you still there?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Stop calling me," he screamed.
"Make me," I said.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Don Hansen."
"Yeah? Where do you live?"
"@$$hole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house, with my black Beamer parked in front."
He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers."
I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, @$$hole."
Then I called @$$hole #2.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hello, @$$hole," I said.
He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are!"
"You'll what?" I said.
"I'll kick your @$$," he exclaimed.
I answered, "Well, @$$hole, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."
Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 1802 West 34th Street, and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover. Then I called Channel 4 News about the gang war going down on West 34th Street. I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th street. There I saw two @$$holes beating the crap out of each other in front of six squad cars, a police helicopter, and a news crew.
NOW, I feel better. Anger management really works.

Couldn't Think of an Appropriate Title.....
An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the
mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson.
Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the
kitchen table reading his Quran.
His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to
imitate him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa, I try to read
the Quran just like you but I don't understand it,
and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close
the book.What good does reading the Quran do?"
The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in
the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket down to
the river and bring me back a basket of water."
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked
out before he got back to the house. The grandfather
laughed and said, "You'll have to move a little faster
next time," and sent him back to the river with the
basket to try again.
This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was
empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told
his grandfather that it was impossible to carry
water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket
instead.
The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I
want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard
enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try
again.
At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he
wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as
fast as he could, the water would leak out before he
got back to the house.
The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran
hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket
was again empty.
Out of breath, he said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"
"So you think it is useless?" The old man said, "Look
at the basket."
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time
realized that the basket was different. It had been
transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now
clean, inside and out.
"Son, that's what happens when you read the Quran.
You might not understand or remember everything, but
when you read it, you will be changed, inside and out.
That is the work of Allah in our lives."
Hey...take a look at this...
• Note: Experts say every baby develops differently — even in the womb. This developmental information is designed to give you a general idea of how your baby is growing.How your life's changing: You've probably gained about 5 pounds by now. If it's a little more or less, don't worry too much. Every woman gains weight at a different rate. While you're well into the swing of being pregnant, you may still be surprised by an unexpected symptom now and then. If your nose is stuffed up, for example, you can probably chalk it up to your pregnancy. That's because increased estrogen can cause swelling in the mucous membranes and possibly the production of more mucus. Your blood volume is increasing, too, which causes your blood vessels to expand, including those in your nose. (You may get occasional nosebleeds as a result.) And because pregnancy alters your immune system and makes you more susceptible to certain infections, it might just be that you have a cold or allergies. In any case, make sure you stay away from irritants, like cigarette smoke, aerosols, and alcohol. To soothe your nostrils, use a humidifier or vaporizer at night, and drink plenty of fluids. You can also try over-the-counter saline drops or a buffered saline nasal spray. (If you're truly miserable, ask your doctor or midwife if it's okay to take decongestant medication.)Don't worry if you and your partner are feeling a little stressed out these days. Many pregnant couples worry about the baby's health and how they'll cope as new parents. But with minimal physical discomfort and renewed energy, this is also a wonderful trimester for most women, so try to enjoy it!

The Goodbye......
Last Tuesday nite hubby and I and some friends were at the KLIA airport to send off one of our bestest friend. Nique is gonna further her studies in the UK and won't be back till.....next year? Though all of us are in Kl but we hardly see each other so it was great to see my friends. While waiting for Nique's flight we hanged out at McD, ate, chatted and laughing all the way. It sure was fun. Surprisingly Eddrie came straight from Johor, so we have a representative from the Kemamang clans hehehe.
When it was time for Nique to go everybody said their goodbyes, there were hugs and tears (not so much tears...control2.... ;p). To Nique....blaja rajin2 .......have loads of fun.....and don't forget to send us updates, pictures & not forgetting pressies....hehehe....Kalau ada rezeki Insya Allah I'll come and visit you, when? don't know yet la....(note to myself : must save money!!!)
***********************************
Alhamdulillah...just had my lunch. But still I feel empty. My stomach is bloated and my throat feels weird. Yucks.....hate that. Can't wait to go back and sleep.....yes....that's all I do nowadays. Being pregnant is sure not easy for me. But I'm enjoying the attention I'm getting. Hehehe...attention seeker. Remember in my previous blog I mentioned that my tummy is still not visibly bulging...well guess what. Someone actually said that it's beginning to show. Haha...Somehow that makes me extremely happy and elated. At least now slowly not only I feel pregnant, I also look like I'm pregnant. Woohoooo.....I think I'm gonna treat myslef to something nice over the weekend.....Hhmmmm.....will have to think of one. Now suddenly I have this sudden urge to eat pancakes with maple syrup.......nyum....nyum.....Shall I go get them after work? Yes....yes...yes...... :)
Have a nice weekend to all............

Guess Who Is Expecting.......
Ladies & Gentlemen....urs truly is now 14 weeks into pregnancy. I don't look like I'm pregnant though coz my tummy is still not visible but I sure do vommit a lot and my stomach gets bloated all the time, and if I dont' eat on time and frequently, I'll get gastric. Whoaa.....all that in one. So not overwhelming. All in all I'm so excited with all this and am blessed and thankful to the Almighty for this gift. Though I've already ventured into my 2nd trimester but I still don't really have the appetite to eat. Hopefully this will past and I will get back my appetite. The last thing I want is to lose weight. Not good coz it might affect the baby's growth inside mommy's tummy. Hubby has been very helpful and supportive. He's all excited about the baby that he talks to my tummy every nite....hehehe...Love it when he does that. Since I'm not strong enough to do the chores at home, hubby now takes over the responsibilities. Thank you dear.....hubby cooks...cleans....sweeps....washes...etc....Hhhmmmm.....what more can I ask? :)
