ANNOUNCEMENT

I am officially announcing the arrival of my Hubby's and my BABY JADEN SIMON YAP!

Born on 28th Sept, our little family's lucky date so far... afternoon baby, he came out screaming, "I AM HERE!!"

Our little prince, our blood and flesh, our son!

He did not make us wait long. He was ever-ready to come out and meet the world, just like what his father did 28 years ago... so adorably cute and Hubby said, you'd never see one newborn that tried to grab the nurse's hand away while she was trying to suck the remaining water out of his body. So aggresive! A feisty one thats for sure!

So far, everything went well, only for a little cough from Hubby and I (first-time parents mer...) while trying to get the hang of changing diapers with flinging arms and legs, a red face screaming at us to hurry up... Hes been keeping us really really busy.. and we do mean REALLY REALLY REALLY SUPER DUPER BUSY!!!!

Sleep is so precious to us, that if we are able to catch a 10 minutes sleep in between, we would. Our time is now all dedicated to Baby Jaden and only him...

So heres a sneak preview of Baby Jaden for you.. on his very first day!

Are you really ready?

1. Called Doc.
2. Confirmed with Doc.
3. Washed Little Monster thoroughly.
4. Fixed Baby Car Seat safely.
5. Joy and SChee are ready... are you?
6. Hubby and I are ever ready...

Sensing a new beginning very very soon...

Angry..

at you!

You broke your promise! You could not keep it.. repeating the same mistake and I shall use the word AGAIN and AGAIN!

*sigh* Actually I am not angry at you.. just disappointed. Why can't you see that its not worth thinking about the past or think that 'the mistake' will eventually regret and change for the better because 'the mistake' aint changing.. for LIFE!!! Thats why IT is regarded as a MISTAKE!

I wish you happiness, I wish you well.. I love you and it hurts to know that you are still holding on to that memory. Let it go darling! Let it go!

Please do not repeat and do not let us make it into a chant for you to ask you to let go! Forget it! Not worth your time, your feelings, your effort because that 'mistake' is going straight down...

You know who you are right? There are lots of people who care and love you and appreciates you.

Now you be good k? Love Love!

You know you are...

pregnant and forgetful when you...

1) Squeeze facial cleanser and put it to condition your hair

2) Squeeze a lather of hair conditioner or toothpaste and wash your face with it

3) Wears different colour pair of shoes out until the elevator

4) Mumble some language not heard before in the world

5) When you just curse and curse and get pissed at every slightest thing that annoys you

6) You just break down and cry and then laugh yourself silly for no apparent reason..

Yeap.. I am in my last 2 days of pregnancy now.. *sigh*

o.Oh and today is Father-in-Law's birthday! Sama sama dengan Destroyer-of-the-World's father too.. =)
Have you guys seen the moon last night and tonight? So beautifully round and bright..

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival by the way... time to down all the mooncakes.. sale sale sale of mooncakes now!!!! YUM YUM YUM!!!!!

Ready?

Hubby had already fixed Jaden's musical mobile to the baby's crib.
His red little stroller is wiped and cleaned...
Clothes washed and folded in his own drawers..
Hubby can't wait to hold him and belly-blow him...
I? I can't wait to pop him out of me and see Hubby's and my love / effort these 10 months...
Lately just these few days, sleep seems so precious. If I could steal a minute or two to doze off, I would. I get tired out much much more easily now. Thankfully Hubby understands and allows me to sleep, tho at times Cheekie or Cheeko will be there to wake me up! =)

So I hope every single friends and family of ours are ready to accept Hubby and I as parents?

*cheers*

Soon...

So hard to sleep.

Body is overheating.

Baby's very generous with his kungfu inside me.

A matter of few more days...

Might be this week...

Came back from the doc today. I am almost 3cm dilated. Which means, anytime now this week if Baby wants to come out. Starting to panic a bit.

Can't breathe from time to time... as in breathless and I need to take deep breaths.

Walking is also quite hard on me now because each time I walk, it feels as if something is dropping down from inside. Standing up after I sit is even worse. It feels as if my ass weighs triple my weight and to pull myself up is like trying to pull a hippo out of the water.

Had a CTG scan too for baby's heartbeat / stress level and also my contractions level. Doc said seemed fine.
I am starting to feel contractions now -mild ones nonetheless better than no contractions.

Should everything go fine, Hubby and I will prolly admit myself into the hospital this Friday morning to induce baby. CTG scans, follow by Doc breaking my water bag if mine is not broken then and then IV drips to start the inducing.. wish me luck!

If everything goes well, you guys would prolly hear from my Hubby on Fri night or Saturday that we are both parents!!!! =) Do pray for me and my baby yes?

Over the rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Frust!

Its getting rather annoying when I receive sms or messages asking me for my baby's photos or have I already given birth because if I did already, you guys would have known. So at the moment, I do hope that those messages or sms would stop coming in. I mean, don't you read my blog? If you are my friend, you would have got this blog add in the msn.. the reason of this blog is to keep my friends and family updated about my pregnancy... *sigh* but then again, nevermind the ignorant I guess...

Just feeling frus!

Hubby and I finally cleaned our bedroom and the living room thoroughly.. next would be the rabbits' room. So many things. We seem to be growing boxes and boxes of things although we throw out lots of them... and the room for Ma-in-Law, well, that just have to wait after the birth of Jaden because there is nothing much we can do and the room is kinda clean. So all it needs is a little vacumm at the ceiling, wipe the dust off the shelves and mop the floor, change the curtains and its good to stay in.

Tommy came and went.. Been in and out of my place to watch football for sometime now since UEFA League started.. well, glad to have him over from time to time. Funny to watch his antics... and won't Iz love Tommy? Coz he keeps leaving his cigarettes behind... Sometimes I wonder how his job scope is all about. Sounds fun but I am sure it can be very tiring. Thankfully he is full of wit.

Had a little too much pork for my own good now, I am getting sick of it. I am actually only looking forward for soupy stuff now but guess I still have Baby to think about. So I still have to take in my daily fair share of nutrients like meat, vege and fruits... and vitamins!

Shits.. I hear my rabbit biting his cage. The girl must have got out now and is teasing him mad! Got to go before any one of them spray pee at the other...

Cravings at the break of dawn...

Slept at about 330am this morning, woke up at about 630am and dragged Hubby out with me to eat Dim Sum. Suddenly, I had a craving for Dim Sum and Hubby had to accomodate my needs.. and off we go to have a good breakfast...

So what did we do after breakfast? We went back to sleep. Both pigs I tell you! and my my, we slept till about 630pm ... and Hubby jumped right out of bed to cook me dinner while I vacumm the living room.. Now? Waiting to sweep and mop the house..

What a weekend huh?

Can't wait to go to the Doc tomorrow to know whats going on with Baby inside me at his 39th week inside me.. So far, so good. Baby seems to enjoy Hubby's cooking.. =)

Dreaming again

Dreamt that you got beaten up by one of my friends...
Saw you sitting on this stationary bicycle in one of the gyms.. told my friend about you..
My friend just went right in, pulled you out and gave you a good taste of his knuckles..
Your friends were there too but they were just looking.. poor you!

I dreamt that Hubby bought me a watch.. Diamant in fact! I guess I am really dreaming then.. coz when I woke up, all i saw was a black hairband on my wrist! DAMNIT!

and whenever I nap, I always dream that SK gets attacked by a grey furry Persian cat.. why is that? The dream occured about 3x dey.. I wonder what the dream meant...

False alarm!

Got a scare this afternoon. Called the hospital to ask and the lady on the other line said I am probably going into labor. Thankfully she gave us Doc's num and Hubby related what happened to me. Doc says I am prolly in my early labor, so its still okay. Told me that I would probably make it into my weekly Monday appointments with him..

...and the funny thing was when I was sitting down with Ma-in-Law at Midvalley P2 bench while waiting for Hubby to buy Cheekie her beans, I had a funny feeling that my Doc was there. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? He was there! What did they say about girl's instinct? Trust them because they are real!

So does the scare this afternoon means something? Baby trying to hint to Hubby and I to clean up the house real clean to make way for him this coming week? =) YES? YES? We will only know this coming Monday to see if my cervix is starting to ripen.. Now, I am feeling contractions now and then.. irregular ones especially when I am walking.. So probably its going to happen sometime this week... HOPEFULLY!!!

Su Ann Kong and Joseph came over to my place for a visit. She could not take her hands off my belly and Baby did show her what he could do inside me. You should have seen her happy surprised face at Baby's movements.. The last I saw of Joseph and her was during my wedding, which was in April.. 6 months later and today in my house. Still the same Su Ann Kong I know.. glad to have her over for a visit!

Ma-in-Law came down from Malacca dey. She is getting ready to move in to take care of me once Baby is born. At the moment, she is still staying with Aunt Lin because the room that she is supposed to be staying in is full of Baby's stuff. Got to get those into my room to make space for her and we can only do that once Baby is born.. some Chinese belief of not to move bed when I am still carrying the child. *sigh* All to put on hold for the sake of Baby!

Hubby and I are supposed to clean up the house today, somewhat because of Ma-in-Law's sudden arrival in KL put us off schedule and us getting up late today did not help much either. Got to vacumm the room tho, and have to vacumm again coz my hair keeps dropping like mad. Got to bun them up and put a shower cap on to avoid having strands of hair on the floor! The dust from the construction opposite and behind my place did not help much too. The dust is so thick that every week, it seemed as if we did not clean the house for 2 whole years! I am not exaggerating!!! Maybe a little but still!!!!!!!!

My baby girl 'Cheekie' is constipating. Got to bring her to the vet soon. The baby boy? Hes eating real fine and hes a pee smellier.. always smelling the girl's pee.. Now he is pee-face!Such an arse!

Am feeling a little hungry now! Gonna grab something to bite and off I go to do housework with Hubby!

Suz, did I fill you enough on whats happening yet? =) Glad to hear from you!!!!!!! MuahmUah!

Just waiting..

Just sitting and waiting. Baby moving right after each meal of mine. Baby moving each time I drive around.. but still no signs of moving down and out of me into Hubby's and my arms.. *sigh* Guess Baby wants to run the full term 40weeks before coming outta me... next weekend.. one more week! If I could last through these 39 weeks, 1 more week would not be much of a difference...

Libra baby?

still no signs ...

Maximum Failure!

I freaking FAILED!

I FAILED so MISERABLY!!!

Hubby says I am a TRAGIC CASE!

Hes ordering pizza now and letting me make the call.. so that I would personally feel better. but still....

I am such a TOTAL LOSER!

I half-cooked the beriani rice & then.. later.. nearly made it into beriani porridge! Just 3/4 way there!
Ya ya! Go ahead and laugh now...

Another Goodbye with KLIA KFC

"What shall I have? Ori or Spicy?"

"Eh, Hurry up and choose ler... its all chicken k!"

"Hmm... Nobody is looking. Take all! My precious!"

"Iz! Don't leave without the KFC bucket!.. and wtf ?!! TTKCHOON! Stop playing with my ass!"

Charlotte being capped by KFC bucket... look whos behind the masterplan attack?
Gang Photo : Aunty in colorful blouse is their gang leader!

L to R: Hubby, eMs, Miao, Charlotte, KFC Face, Grace & Wen Siew
Behind KFC Face: Perv TTKChoon

Grace should not be left out of the fun too right?.. sigh.. might as well make her Ms KFC Bucket Head...

Missing Iz & Grace already...

Walking for Hours

Nurse says walk = exercise = faster to encourage baby to drop and me, birth.

Simon Tan says = walk alot might trigger off contractions for labor.

Doc says maybe if we are lucky this week, Baby might wanna come out.

Hubby and Iz excited = brought me out walking the whole day today from 4pm until about 10pm.

Me = tired feet, muscle-pain calves, leg cramps, tired body and face... but still no sign of contractions.

A stubborn little one isn't he?

=)

Still a Narp.. when o.Oh when?

Have you peeps watched Hot Fuzz yet? This British comedy 'police-action' movie? If you did, then you probably understand why I am saying Yarp & Narp..

and... Narp! Baby Jaden still refuses to come out although Doc has good news for me that I am about 1cm dilated this week. Hopefully it will start to progress faster down the week. Had the usual lab test before entering Doc's lair and guess what? I am well over 60kg now.. I am weighing at 60.9kg and the little guy inside me is happily absorbing food and storing fats until he is now estimated to be around 3.5kg. Fat round polly baby with the passion for food, just like his parents-to-be! Woke up today with bad cramps, this time both calves of mine are in extreme tight pain. The kind of pain that does now allow you to walk straight but would be advisable to be holding tongkat and walk at the same time... NAH.. am just exaggerating.. I can still walk although I am sure you all know the feeling of having leg cramps and walking it off at the same time.

Last night, we celebrated Iz's birthday. A simple one, just with friends @ Asia Cafe and we found Gynette-look-a-like! So similar, the face shape, the fashion that Hubby could not resist to make a bet with Tommy for RM5 to ask the fellow to pose with him for some camera shots. Had a great laugh last night.. it was all fun..

"Don't you think he look like Gynnette?"

o.Oh and my 2 goldfishes dieded on me. The stupid water pump failed to work when Hubby and I left home for Doc's. Came home to 2 goldfishes of mine afloat upside down. Confirm dead! They were one of the favourite ones I like to sit and watch while time passes by. One was already rather big and the other, you guessed it, the upright swimming one. Got them for about 9 months now... and they dieded on me. RIP my little Goldfishes.. you have been good cute adorable fishes.. Don't be fishes in your next life k? Muah Muah! Thank God for Hubby and Iz who managed to help saved the other 2 gasping goldfishes... changed to clean water, cleaned out the filter and making darn sure that the pump does work this time. Was feeling rather down on that part tho...

Iz slept over at our place last night. We are supposed to go shopping with him later in the evening to buy his last minute stuff to UK. Not sure if Hubby and I can send him and Grace off at the airport tomorrow but will try our best., Will miss both of them badly...

and speaking of which, I accidentally burnt Hubby's pants inside out while trying to be a good housewife -ironing it. So I practically blacken the whole iron. Thankfully it was a free gift from the electrical shop.. Told Hubby that that iron was spoilt and could do no shits ironing his work clothes so yesterday we went to 1U to buy me a new iron! Yay Yay! A steam iron! I have got a new iron. Somehow I realize I do get excited over new electrical house appliances. Maybe because I know that they are bought for me.. =)

AND TO RECAP FOR THOSE THAT ARE STILL WONDERING WHY I HAVE NOT GIVEN BIRTH YET, ITS BECAUSE MY EXPECTED DUE DATE IS MEMANG END OF THIS MONTH. JUST PUSHING MY LUCK TO SEE IF BABY JADEN WANTS TO COME OUT EARLIER... =) **cheers**

Funny Dreams

530am : Went to bed
8am : Woke up to pee pee
10am : Ter-woke up
12pm : Woke up to pee pee again
330pm : Woke up to pee pee again & wake up for good...

Thats my sleeping pattern for the past few days now.. except the late waking up part if its the weekdays...

Had a lot of weird dreams lately. Those that wakes you up unintentionally yet it disturbs you for a while; the reason why you are having those dreams.

I dreamt that your dad got baptised because he is sort of expecting a grandchild yet he was at this big garden party where there were your other relatives around eating a ramadhan buffet but it was during brunch hour.. with an aunty that was just stuffing her face with lots of spaghetti..

I dreamt about your parents mostly.. why is that?

I have got lots of other dreams but then again, I tend to forget them once I wake up... maybe I should start writing these dreams down and analyze them...

Iz came over last night to watch the second half of Portsmouth vs. Liverpool... rather a slow game as the Liverpool players seemed like they tak semangat langsung.. however Chealsea's game was a laugh because I think it was totally karma that Kalou's goal was denied yet they weren't offside.. thats for Essien's act for the 1-1 penalty goal they scored against Liverpool few weeks back! Told you KARMA does work... you just got to believe!

Iz's birthday is tomorrow. Hes gonna turn 23... and we were told his sweet Grace baked him a birthday cake today in her hometown.. and he should be there right now to attend her cousin's wedding and also an early celebration of his birthday with her. Hubby and I plan to 'wat' him for a dinner too tomorrow.. hehehe *eViL gRin* both of them would be leaving this Wed midnight back to London.. It seemed only like yesterday when he took Sam boy to our house, when he touched down after a day or two back in M'sia.. and that was like when i was 6 months pregnant.. Now? I am already near delivery and hopefully, hopefully with my fingers crossed.. he gets to see baby before he leave... but something tells me, Baby is not ready to come out yet.. *sigh*

Plan to cook Chicken Beriani Rice for Hubby today... maybe throw in another vege dish since Hubby always accuse me of not eating enough greens.. but the fact is I am more of a meat person than vege.. At least I am a fruity person. I love fruits! Just waiting for my laundry to be done, hang them up, me = bathe and then wake Hubby up and off we go to buy our stuff... rabbit's carrotzzzzz... and stock up the fridge again. Hubby would probably be starting to work his ass off again tonight after dinner. He always does that.. I think the only rest day he gives himself is Saturday and late Friday nights.. He starts his week on a Sunday.. me? I can't move around much longer. If I could lie down, sit and stand but not move, I would do it... my weight and the backache is not being really kind to me at the moment!

Tomorrow we are going for another round of check-up to see if my cervix has started to soften and open up. If it is, then I guess I can say I would be expecting contractions in the coming week.. and contractions equals to Baby coming!!!!! *breathe in breathe out!** Do cross your fingers for me and pray for me that it is starting to dilate k? Coz I memang impatient dey.. I want my baby!

Baby names

Baby names I would like my children to have... afterall Hubby's and my first son's name is Jaden..

Should Hubby and I do give birth to more children in near future, the names that I would like is:-

Boy - Joaquin (pronounced Wa- Quin) means God will establish
Girl - Joleigh (pronounced Jolie) means pretty
-Astoria Hubby likes that name.. dunno what it means...Hubby says try looking up Greek names like Astor
-Alanis Hubby thinks its a pretty name.. hmm.. I still don't know what it means...
-Alyx (pronounced Alex) means Defender of Mankind...

Hmm.. so what do you peeps think?

Broken Child

She is feeling a little low.
She did not think it was rather a good idea anymore. It used to tho.. everything used to be good in the beginning but time does prove it all.There must be valid reasons for everything that happened...
She cries hidden away from all eyes.
She feels emotionally stressed.
She wants to break free.
She no longer feels light.. so heavy the thoughts, its weighing her down.
She is easily broken...
She is putting up a front.
She is a happy smiling doll;
with a broken smile if only they could see...
She seeks comfort from her happy thoughts.
She needs a rest before she breaks down.
She is slowly shutting down from all..
She has to...

Food o.Oh Glorious Food

Hubby is cooking curry chicken for me tonight. Me? I am in charge of the rice and washing up the mess later. Hubby is so excited over his latest buy -the coffee table which will enable him to put his food and drinks in safe conditions while watching TV and eating. Hubby can be a real little boy at times.

Since this month marks both our 'babies' birthday.. both of them are officially a year old now, Hubby and I decided to buy them pressies. Each one gets a bigger cage and on our next trip to Tesco, they both will get mixed salad to eat. Good life kan? Their new cage is so huge and heavy that I myself find it a little too heavy to lift it up, even without them inside. Would not like to imagine how it will feel to carry with the little hoppers inside adjusting their weight nicely each time they are lifted in their cage.

Its the weekend again, and tomorrow is housewife duty day. Laundry lah, Cuci rumah lah.. (although Hubby does help me with the cuci rumah from time to time) and more laundry. The weather has been rather unkind lately, raining when its about 3-4pm and then the sun sets after that.. Not wise to do laundry unless I plan to make the clothes smell.. and oh yah, the brillant me just burnt the iron.. so got to go get new iron. I am planning on steam iron.. any suggestions on the brand and which one is real good -idiot proof? I am just new in this housewife field... got to keep practising.. =)

Got to go help Hubby now with the table preparation.. its dinner time!!!! Yum Yum.. Homecooked dinner is always the best! and Hubby's cooking? Nothing but perfection confirmed!

At KLIA

Hubby & I @ KFC at 9pm.. see how fresh looking we both still are and the happy faces waiting for our KLIA KFC meal? KFC does taste better when someone belanjas... =)

Hubby & I @ 12am, sitting down after a full hearty meal waiting for Gynette to say goodbye to his parents, while Hubby & I camwhored a little.. been a long time since we camwhored.. see the tired fat face now after the KFC meal?

Gynette's flight got delayed until about 245am. Poor fella, his parents left him all alone with us for an early night. At least we all know Pei San is the most appreciative of all, that we decided to stay behind until he checks into the international departure gate.

Of course we all didn't wait in vain. We got Gynette to treat us to KFC! See Hubby and my happy face? Yeap.. KFC in KLIA!! hehehe *sigh* He will be back soon I guess.. A year passes by really quickly... Next week is Iz & Grace's turn.. Hate goodbyes!

Pei San & Gynette; just right before he checks into the international departure gate.. so long Gynette.. till next year!

ramblings :: Sacrifices a girlfriend would make for her boyfriend.
To stay up late until 2am to be with him before he sets foot in another country...
To be there for him whenever wherever...

I tabik you Pei San for being such a patient, good, sweet, loyal girlfriend to Gynette! =)
Good luck for your STPM! May you get yourself into a good Uni here in Peninsular..

Legoman Leaving 4 Leeds...

It had probably been 1 1/2 months since I last went to the movies with Hubby. Since we were off rather early yesterday from work as I was not feeling well enough to travel much around PJ and KL with Hubby, we decided to take a short break and watch Evan Almighty. Have not laugh at the movies for quite a long while now. We were planning to watch Ratatouille but the time didn't seem to match when we were queuing to buy tickets and Evan Almighty was just about to be screened.. so might as well... =) Its rather a funny show, no brainers and helps you take your mind off things.. a recommendation to all should you love humor!

Gynette will be leaving for Leeds tonight. Wonder who will be fetching us to the airport to send him off... Lucky boyI To be able to go out there to see the world for himself... I wonder how Amsterdam airport looks like? I love going to airports. I had always love to see the big birds taking off, with their lights, the sound, their run on the runway...Not to mention the architecture... *sigh* same goes for cruising ships. Some runaway points in my life..

My back is hurting as I am blogging at the moment. When will the pain come from back to front now I wonder? If it does happen, of course I will definitely feel scared shit outta my life yet happy because it means ITS TIME!!! but what the heck, I do not think it will happen anytime soon this week yet.. =( Read a magazine yesterday about labor and delivery, scaring myself even more and Hubby says he wants to write in to the mag and complain dey.. that it is scaring his wife.. stoopid.. he was just saying it so I would shut my gap and leave him in peace to watch Eng vs. Russia last night.. HHrruuuUMMmmppPHhhh!!!!

Talking about which, I forgot to say that Hubby and I were at Uptown last Tues, and saw a puddle of blood about 50-60 metres away from Public Bank, a hole in a Proton Perdana car window and police lines sealing the place as crime scene. Hubby said it was robbery, I said it was gang fight shots.. and well, Hubby guessed right as the news next day confirmed his allegations. We were just in time to have the ambulance chased us out of the way so that they can take one of the shot robbers to hospital.. drama kan?

Holding my horses...

Doc says my cervix is not opened or ready yet. Which means I am not yet ready to give birth. Still have to go back next week to the doc to have it checked again. Hubby was anticipating for Doc to say my cervix has already started to open up for baby but alas, NO not yet! I am winning the bet but the checking of the cervix triggered off contractions now I guess but the contractions are mild and it comes and go irregularly. Its just quite painful for a split second or two when it takes you by surprise when you are walking down the Tesco / Giant aisle.

I am already starting to panic over the delivery pain. Scared in fact now because I know the pain would be like 50x worse than the contractions. Imagine a little body squeezing out of you vagina which you have well closed it ever since you suspect you are pregnant. *shudders at thought* Hubby said it would not be that painful tho as how I assumed it would be because I would have my natural body painkillers working the adrenaline but I doubt it. Hes just saying to make me feel better. He once said the blood test would only take a count to ten...but did it take ten counts? NO THEY DIDN'T! THEY FREAKING DRAINED 3 NEEDLEFUL OF MY BLOOD AND THE COUNT WAS UNTIL ABOUT 50! So I seriously doubt it about the natural body painkillers. Am considering epidural now.. but I am also scared of needles. Summore they jab it into the back where I can't turn my body round to see whats happening. Don't like that thought! How like that?

*dilemma dilemma* Who says getting pregnant is easy? Who says getting pregnant is cheap? Who says getting pregnant is fun? Who said it?? Let the men give birth and they would know the power, the ability of women, our endurance... If only lah yah... *sigh*

A night out with good company...

Its raining meteor-looking lights in the city... we went to this place that overlooked the city's night lights.. a beautiful, well-recommended place for couples to have a romantic night out..

Iz & Grace

Pei San & Gynette

Sk & Karen

Me & Hubby

Now do you see the clearer view of the city? Its from where we all ate our dinner while sharing jokes and laughter with each other.. a good company to hang out to have good laughs... Just that in 4 days time, Gynette will be leaving for Leeds while in another 10 days, Iz & Grace back to London...
*sigh*


Good Friends are Hard to Find

Upside Down

My little goldfish has always been swimming upright but when I woke up today and came out to greet them the usual morning Hi!, it was swimming upside down!
Aarrrgghh!!! NOOooooo.. this cant be happening to me!
My cute goldfishes.. and this one just have to go start swimming upside down now.. these fishes has been with me for months.. and earlier on, it was under my mother's care.. It can't be doing this to me now!
It has always been a pleasure sitting down on the floor, just looking at them swim around because they look so bubbly and happy and blur.
They response to the sound of their food shaken above them.
Please do get well little fishie!
Is there anything that I can do to hold him to swim the right way?
Why are there no fish doctors around when you need such expertise?
Its hardly really moving as actively as it used to now.. but but but its still a young fish!!!!
It has to grow big and lovely!!!
So sad...

On the other note, am starting to have weekly check-ups now with Doc Yong. Will be going today and I guess, we will be able to find out the progress of Baby's growth and Hubby is still confident that Baby might be coming out anytime this week. I say next week.. because right until now, I can hardly feel the contractions, only for the occasional once or twice in three days or five. Only my legs are starting to look swollen to me (at least my own eyes are telling me that they are growing just too fat to fit into any of my shoes) and its harder for me to walk now. One step at a time... First the right side of my back is aching, now the left is starting too... so I guess its quite near to birthing. I somehow guessed my delivery's timing would come unexpected.. when you least expect it. I guess I have always been that sort of person. To be prepared for something, it always leaves you waiting but when you least expect it to happen, some goodness happens for no reason... I am already starting to panic a little because after attending the ante-natal course, there were some talks on episiotomy.

Whats an episiotomy you ask? This is what episiotomy is ...
An episiotomy is a surgical cut made just before delivery in the muscular area between the vagina and the anus (the area called the perineum) to enlarge your vaginal opening.

Obstetricians used to cut episiotomies routinely to speed delivery and to prevent the vagina from tearing, particularly during a first vaginal delivery. Many experts believed that the "clean" incision of an episiotomy would heal more easily than a spontaneous tear. But a great many studies over the last 20 years have disproved this theory, and most experts now agree that the procedure shouldn't be done routinely.

Research has shown that women with spontaneous tears generally recover in the same or less time and often with fewer complications than those with episiotomies. Women who have episiotomies tend to lose more blood at the time of delivery, have more pain during recovery...

Now you tell me, when you hear and read what episiotomy is all about, won't you be scared like me too and panic all the way? *sigh* What women have to go through in life... no men would really understand what we are willing to do...

Buffet Dinner on a Weekend

Weekends are wonderful when you can sleep until about 4pm and wake up to a windy afternoon-evening, and going out for a buffet dinner.

Hubby took me to this newly-opened buffet place. RM56++ a person but then again, *sigh* the buffet has not much of a choice. Only the beef was good, and the roasted eel, so said Hubby. Lots of kids were running up and down the dessert area, filling their bowls with chocolate from the fondue and putting cookies inside, slurping just pure chocolates and little boys filling their plates with ten ten jellies. Would avoid going back there if possible but at least the food did not set me off to toilet like what Shogun did... but whatever, I still ended up in the toilet doing my business.. ehheheh.. just to show I do not suffer from constipation! *pHew* Life would be a bitch then, the shit would have added on weight to the weighing scale.. so *THANK GOD!*

Daisy the convict chiclid finally died today after much suffering, getting attacked by her bigger and vicious neighbours in the tank. Poor Daisy.. She was afterall Hubby's favourite fish..

RIP Daisy! Do not be a fish in your future life!

Finally got new curtains for the house.. Hubby took me for a good long walk because he said I needed to exercise my legs. Little did he know, my thighs are killing me already and the backache is back. Hubby gets excited when I get contractions.. He just cant wait for Baby's arrival.. =)

o.Oh and not forgetting tonight in a minute or two, Euro Cup Qualifier's game -England vs. Israel.. who do you think will win. Hubby and I are hoping the Israelis would win over England because England memang overrated when it comes to football... They are rather boring to watch compared to when they play for their own individual clubs don't you think?

If I could...

...sleep for 22 hours a day now, I would. I can really fall asleep standing now. I get so tired easily. My face will tell all but then again, I don't feel its right to waste the precious time away while I can get to do so many things...

That Luju is down in the land of the lion. Wonder if he will pop down here to Kl with Linaree? hmm...

Tomorrow I get to eat buffet! Yay! Hubby promised! Will it be good or just plain disappointing? Shall try then tell all about it!...

Finally got my two 'babies' out of the house and down to the vet to get their nails done. Next agenda, bathe them before baby Jaden's arrival...

Rice is cooked now.. got to help Hubby with dinner preparation in a while soon... Hubby's been real sweet lately. Cooking dinner every night now.. so that I get enough nutrients.. hee hee hee

Horrible!

Couldn't sleep the whole of last night.

Was sneezing myself SILLY (like a million times each time I open my mouth to sneeze : Hubby says Sneezing Fest 2007) and is still sneezing myself silly now.

Running nose is real bad. The right side feels like it is swollen and is drowning in its own mucus. *Uurrgghh! Yuck!*

My whole body now feels like a HOT WATER BOTTLE! No air-conditioning could cool me down. I just feel like I am going to melt down anytime and the weather itself aint helping.

Contractions are coming and going now but I doubt it is time yet. Give it two weeks or more now seeing the condition I am in.

Lethargic all the time? Don't even ask me about it. I can fall asleep anytime anywhere now. My whole body is starting to slow down and is resting without even without me wanting to..

The last few weeks of pregnancy... Should be feeling real happy but am feeling a little more shitty.. should be the flu bug then..

Back to Class ...

Got class today.
Baby class... today, if I am not mistaken, we are going to learn some exercise (not to say I do not have enough from all the walking and getting ups n down from sitting / standing), some breathing techniques during labour and also the 'advertorial talks' from the stem cells' agent.
Bet Hubby is going to poke fun again at every chance he gets.
Bad student!

Hubby is taking me to eat my favourite pork noodles @ Subang in a while. Yay Yay! Thats just because its in the work-way of our travelling route. But its one of the BEST I have tried so far.. Have not been to Lucky Garden yet to try it but I guess lets just say customer loyalty is instilled in me and in Hubby's case, he grew up through the years eating at the Chu Yok Fan's stall... so we would not be switching our loyalty elsewhere anytime soon.

*sigh.. sLurrpp!* still can't get over Hubby's home-cooked Butter Chicken with Curry Leaves... *I WANT MORE!*

Talking about travelling, think its about time Little Monster of mine gets a rub-a-dub-dub in soap and water. Needs a good wash, polish and thorough vacuum ... shall probably do it over the weekend. Just go down and hand the car wash the car keys to do a good job provided it doesn't rain too.. When it rains, everything can be such a biatch!

Cooked

"Bey, the chicken is so hard that when you throw it at someone, it prolly can kill..."

"Come, I defrost it 1st.. where is the manual? Okies.. wait I defrost it first yah... 10 minutes tho..."

"Is it done yet?"

"Almost... Think I shall give it 3 more minutes..." (press microwave oven buttons)

*BEEP BEEP BEEP* (Opens microwave oven.. Stood and watched in shocked!)

"YOU COOKED MY CHICKEN!!!! YOU COOKED MY CHICKEN!!"

(looks at the chicken.. turned yellow-half-cooked)

"OOps.."

Just some typical scenario in the House of Yaps...

Friends and Food and Hubby = Weight Gain

Josie and Meu Yan came over last Sunday. Have not seen Josie since Xy's wedding I think...

Josie came over to mark her territory over my loo -nothing unusual if you know the lady!

They made a comment -that everything in my house comes in industrial size.. *shy* =)

They bought Hubby and me some big ass yummy fried chicken and then, later we all went over to The Curve for some Sunday shopping. Finally got myself a top that can fit just real nice on me, doesn't matter if I am pregnant or not, but the top fits nicely on me NOW and will do in FUTURE when my size goes back normal. So happy!

I am now targeting that sunglasses I saw... Saturday come fast! Saturday! So I can go and get you!!!!

*****************************

Had the baby check-up yesterday! Doctor says Baby is growing fine and my weight is going up fine as well. He calls 58.8kg FINE? ON ME ? FINE NORMAL WEIGHT GROWTH? NO WONDER I COULD NOT FIT INTO MOST OF MY CLOTHES now!!!!!!!! Baby too, did add on weight. He was about 2.3 kg last 2 weeks ago and this week, he went up to the estimation of about 2.8kg. Estimation only la.. so if I should give and take +/- 500grams, Baby would probably be just 2.3kg at the moment, so I still have to help Baby pile on weight. The ideal weight for him to come out would be 2.7kg. Thats what Doctor Yong said...

Now into 36 weeks, Doc predicts I probably give birth 1 week earlier than the estimated due date. Hmm.. so now there are 3 predictions.. who do you think will win? Hubby? Me? or Doc? Maybe Doc.. afterall he is the experienced one. Doc is no longer slow in catching Hubby's joke. He is getting better.. no more the 2-sec delay.. Hubby can be too much of a joker sometimes.. but well. it livens up the atmosphere inside the doc's room when I am having the check-ups! *sigh* Now its just a matter of weeks to prepare for Baby and we all know that time does fly by too quickly without us realizing about it.

Its also getting harder and harder to sleep now at night. Turning from left to right or right to left or left to centre and back seemed like a chore. To get up from the seat, I have to have Hubby support me or push me up because I can no longer seem to have the strength to pull myself up... Yea! I have to finally give in and admit, I am now officially a FAT BLOB!

***************************

o.Oh and Hubby has been cooking dinner for me lately... =) We just had Brocolli & Mushrooms, Tomato / Chilli Prawns and Minced Pork last Sat, Fried Meehoon ala Hubby's special on Sunday night, Fried Rice yesterday for lunch and Spaghetti Bolognese (sauce made personally out of tomato puree, cut-up basil leaves and lots of minced beef *sigh*) for dinner and today, guess Hubby will be cooking me Bah Kut Teh!!!!! You know, when one taste Hubby's cooking, not only would they feel the effort he puts in his cooking but the love and respect for the art of cooking too... You know you can never go hungry with my Hubby around.. *DOUBLE BIG ASS GRIN*

But if you think my Hubby is doing all the work himself, NOo okies? I do do my part too. I am the cleaning up after... So there is teamwork in the house for your information. Me = not selfish. Me = help Hubby. Me = happy pregnant woman!

Its only Saturday??

I am wide awake again at 330pm. Its like the hour to wake up for me if its the weekend or so.. Its more like pee peeing session and then you cannot go back to sleep. Baby is getting bigger and bigger day by day, meaning my tummy space is getting more cramp for him. So whenever he decides to sit on my bladder, here I would go running off to toilet... and when he kicks, don't you dare even ask if its painful because i will tell u to try to confine yourself to limited space area and let me kick you hard, where you have no where to run... try it!

Hubby and I slept at bout 7am today. We were both cleaning up the house, anticipating baby's and Ma-in-Law's arrival.. so everything can work in place without my help when Baby comes..

Its a Saturday but it feels like a Sunday.. *sigh* getting some housework done before i go out to do some grocery shopping and come home to cook dinner... going to try out the new cookware Hubby just bought.. YUM.. Home cooked food.. *groan* but i hate the washing up part.. damnit!

*************************************

Hubby cooked in the end. I was only in charge of cooking the rice. So bahagia to eat home cooked food after like so many months of mostly eating out. Sometimes when you eat out so often, you no longer knows what you want to eat anymore. When there is too many choices, you cannot make up your mind... yet all those food are the same..

Its raining goals in Anfield.. Liverpool just keep scoring. Surprising yet its a very nice thought to know that Liverpool is now on top.. Torres the pretty boy, Voronin the WWF lookalike... and well, what can I say about other Liverpool players.. they are all rather good looking in their own way.. I hope Liverpool will keep scoring goals this season onwards.. then Hubby will be in good mood every time they play!

Going to iron clothes now while Hubby will sit his arse out watching Man U vs. Sunderland. Hope Sunderland kick their ass!!!
