i wonder where is my mummy


aah...there she is!


mummy always makes me feel happy


she never fails to make me smile


and smile...


i only want my mummy's milk!!


ok mummy, i promise i'll be good girl


ooh i feel soo sleepy


even when i''m sleepy, i'll keep on smiling!

pejam celik pejam celik tau2 alisya dah 2 bln
yg tak bestnye itu menandakan cuti mummy pun dah abis..esok mummy akan start keje balik
malasnya nak masuk keje balik
hai mcmana la rasanya keje mesti ngantuk sbb alisya still bangun menyusu mlm2 at least 2 kali
disebabkan mummy nak start keje, alisya dah start bottle training
ooh alisya tak suka botol ok, alisya prefer nipple yg ori bukan yg tiruan
setiap kali minum susu dr botol mesti menjerit2 tak puas hati
pastu bila dah habis susunya buat muka tak puas hati lagi
kena bagi 'cik nen' dulu pastu baru gembira
hai, harapnya alisya ok la bila kena tinggal nanti

mummy dah get ready stok EBM utk alisya
mummy beli breastpump baru- medela swing utk lagi senang buat stok tanpa merasa lenguh2 tgn


avent manual pump yg mummy beli dulu pun ok tapi lenguh sikit la sbb tu mummy beli electric pump pulak. sgt berpuas hati dgn medela swing nih.

hari ni bwk alisya jumpa Dr utk vaksin DPT-Hib- OPV
budak chubby ni sudah 5.5kg



alisya good girl langsung tak nangis bila kena cucuk

alisya's development umur 2 bln:
- boleh habiskan susu 4oz
-makin rancak bersembang
- suka duduk bersandar
-suka senyum

-bila boring mesti nak berdiri dgn support
- kepala dah boleh tegak yeay!

haslina yg ayu


elok2 abis majlis, alisya muntah pulak, abis baju gaun dia
lps tukar baju, terus tidooo

masa umur alisya 32 hari, alisya start demam.
mula2 mummy ingat demam tu cuma post-vaccination fever.
initially cuma low grade fever, controllable with pcm
tapi mummy mula risau bila dah 4 hari demam tak settle down & jadi high grade fever pulak
mummy & abah bwk alisya jumpa GP kat panel clinic dulu
selain demam alisya takde simptom lain except loose stool
temperature recorded kat klinik :38.3
on examination, no source of infection found
so GP just prescribed pcm & advised to do tepid sponging
malamnya badan alisya panas sepanas-panasnya
walaupun dah bagi pcm suhu still tak turun
mummy & abah memang tak tido mlm tu sbb continue buat sponging utk alisya sbb suhu tinggi sgt.

muka anak mummy yg demam


mummy rasa mlm tu adalah mlm yg sgt panjang
sgt risau dgn keadaan alisya
mummy plan nak bwk alisya jumpa peads kat pantai cheras- Dr Tan LZ early in the morning esoknya
sepanjang mlm alisya tak lena tido & merengek sbb tak sihat
pastu dia tak selera sgt nak menyusu sampai breasts mummy naik engorged..sian anak mummy

paginya jumpa Dr Tan. Temp pagi tu 2 hrs post PCM: 38.9
Still no signs to suggest the source of infection on examination.
Dr Tan suggest utk admission since umur alisya baru sebulan & kena buat proper investigation & treat properly.
since mummy belum sempat amik insurans/medical card utk alisya, mummy request Dr Tan refer alisya ke HUKM sbb mummy ni staff & bayaran pun FOC.
Dr Tan pun refer alisya ke A&E HUKM with a referral letter yg mengatakan mummy staff & sila buat proper investigation + strongly suggest for admission

kat A&E HUKM,mula2 amik blood utk full blood count dulu
nasib baik nurse tu berjaya amik blood sekali cucuk je
mummy dok perhati je alisya kena amik blood + tolong pegang bedung alisya so that dia tak meronta masa kena cucuk.
lain betul perasaannya bila tgk anak sendiri kena amik blood- rasa nak menangis pun ada
dulu masa sendiri2 amik blood anak org kat wad peads bukan main lagi asalkan dpt ape yg dihajati
sekarang baru mummy faham mcmana perasaan mak2 budak kat wad peads nun

pastu sorg MO a&e attend alisya
MO nih tak berapa friendly la dgn mummy walaupun mummy medical Dr & staff UKM
amik history pun nak sarcastic dgn kita
mummy malas nak cite pjg kat sini buat sakit hati je
anyway results FBC & Urine alisya nampak normal je
MO A&E tu pun consult la MO peads over the phone (MO peads tak dtg tgk pun, consulktation over the phone jer)
lastly diorg punye diagnosis is viral fever
management: continue PCM & tepid sponging, no indication for ward admission, appointment as outpatient in peads clinic to trace urine culture result.

disebabkan diorg dah decide tak nak admit, mummy pun bawakla alisya balik rumah
high fever is still there
kat rumah dr tan call tanya mcmana dgn management kat hukm
mummy pun kata la baby diorg discharge
dr tan cuma kata beraninya diorang dicharge baby umur sebulan yg ada high fever- they should be more cautious !!
dr tan offer mummy klu mummy nak admitkan alisya kat pantai cheras boleh dtg ptg tu jugak
mummy pun tak fikir pjg terus setuju sbb risau sgt tgk alisya takde improvement
takpe la habis duit sikit pun janji alisya sembuh

sampai kat pantai cheras, alisya terus admit ke pead ward
diagnosis; neonatal sepsis


Dr Tan set IV line utk alisya & amik blood utk culture, FBC & RP
Urine sent for feme & culture


tag alisya


dr tan start iv rocephine
mlm tu temperature alisya turun & alisya tido lena

nenek dtg tgk alisya. alisya mengadu kat nenek dia demam


dgn abah


by day 3 of admission, alisya completely afebrile. culture sume no growth. hari ke 4 alisya pun balik rumah

mummy harap lepas ni alisya sihat2 je. mmmy saaayang sgt alisya.


thank you to dr tan & staff in peads ward, pantai cheras for their excellent service

Cepatnya masa berlalu, tau2 alisya dah umur sebulan
Penat betul rasanya jadi mummy nih, nasib tak baik alisya bangun sejam sekali nak menyusu
Paling lama dia tido pun 2 jam je pastu sure bangun nak menyusu
Bangun pagi kepala berdenyut2 sbb tak cukup tido
Alisya skrg dah makin berat & chubby, boleh terasa lenguh tangan klu angkat dia
timbang berat dah 4.4kg, naik 1.35kg

ni dia budak chubby dagu berlapis


syioknya tido mulut terngangaa


having a good time with abah


alisya's milestones at 1 month old:
- can smile responsively
- can follow mummy's face with her eyes
- dah boleh ajak sembang kalau mood baik
- bila abah tiarapkan dia, boleh angkat kepala lama2
- boleh bezakan siapa yg dukung dia. kalau dia menangis, dia takkan diam kalau org lain yg pegang. once mummy atau abah yg dukung, dia akan diam

dah tak sabar nak abis pantang. bosan betul rasanya berpantang nih
generally saya ikut saje ape yg mak suruh buat masa pantang nih tapi mak pun takde la strict sgt
berurut buat la 5 hari berturut2, tungku tu buat klu sempat je masa 2 minggu pertama pastu tak buat dah
berbengkung still amalkan sampai skrg tapi tiap kali nak tido mlm mesti tanggalkan bengkung tu sbb ketat, susah nak breastfeed alisya malam2 dgn bengkung yg ketat
set bersalin pulak amik nona roguy sbb tgk kat forum ada byk positive review & so far memang puas hati
yg paling tak best ada lah bab2 makan
tak bestnyee bila byk sgt benda yg tak leh makan
klu ikutkan medically memang sume benda pun bole makan tapi mcm takut la pulak bila org kata klu tak pantang makan nanti kesannya nampak bila dah tua so disebabkan tu terpaksa la ikut
so penyelesaiannya saya ikut je selagi boleh, cuma saya akan pastikan diet tu seseimbang yg mungkin & minum air byk sbb nak breastfeedkan baby
body weight pulak ada lagi excess 4kg nak kena buang , mostly kat peha
ada sikit rasa tension bila try nak pakai jeans lama tapi tak muat

aritu kak insyirah & kak nadhirah dtg melawat alisya



makin comel kakak2 sepupu alisya ni



ape agaknya yg diorg berdua ni gosipkan?


kakak2 kasi hadiah stroller yg comel utk alisya


alisya seronok duduk dlm stroller tu


abah pulak belikan bouncer utk alisya


alisya sgt suka baring dlm bouncer nih


happy 1 month old alisya!!- from mummy with love

This is a backdated entry
Tak sempat nak update right on time, sekarang baru ada masa nak update kat sini.

My chronology of story goes like this:

Tuesday, 22 april 2008- bangun pagi tgk2 dah ada ‘show’ (darah + lendir). Tapi takde contraction, so relax2 kat rumah mcm biasa. Masa nak tido mlm tu boleh rasa ada mild contraction tapi tak regular. Berjaya tido dgn nyenyaknya.

Wednesday, 23 april 2008:
0600H: terjaga dr tido yg lena. Rasa mcm ada regular contraction tapi still mild & tolerable. After subuh sambung tido balik.

0800H: terjaga sbb contraction makin kuat. Once every 10 minutes. Rasa mcm period pain tapi lagi sakit. Still boleh tahan lagi. Mandi pastu online YM borak2 dgn Tilla dulu . Hubbee mmg cuti arini tapi tanak kejutkan dia lagi sbb mlm tadi tido lambat tgk bola, so kasi can dia tido puas2 dulu.

0930H: contractions 2 in 10 minutes. Kejutkan hubbee suruh keluar pegi beli breakfast nasi lemak. Nak make sure perut kenyang dulu sebelum pegi hospital.

1030H: Hubbee sampai rumah dgn nasi lemaknya Sbb dah siang, byk org yg jual nasi lemak dah tutup gerai so lambat jadinya. Makan breakfast sama2 cepat2. masa ni contraction dah makin kerap- 3 in 10 minutes. Nak makan pun dah tak best. Masa ada contraction, terpaksa berdiri sekejap baru rasa kurang sikit sakit. Cadangnya nak pi jumpa Dr Suriati kat klinik dia dulu then let her decide the next step, tapi bila call klinik dia, rupanya hari Rabu dia punye OT day, so dia takde kat klinik hari ni. Ape2 hal kena straight pegi labour room.

1115H: Bertolak dr rumah ke pantai cheras medical center. Sampai sana dlm masa 15 minit.

1130H: sampai labour room, tunjuk admission letter kat nurse then terus masuk examination room. After tukar baju sume, first time kena VE dgn sorg midwife. Os dah bukak 4cm rupanya, cervix posterior but very effaced. Pastu midwife insert ravin enema & suruh pi toilet buang ape2 yg patut sebelum masuk delivery suite.

1200H: masuk delivery suite no 2. Disebabkan masa tu ramai patient kat labour room, diorang terpaksa kasi delivery suite yg kecik sikit & jrg diguna kat situ. takpe la nak buat camane suite lain dah penuh. Dr suriati dtg review, set IV line & buat ARM (pecahkan air ketuban)- os 4cm, clear liquor. CTG reactive. Since memang dah decide nak amik epidural, terus kasitau kat Dr Suriati – saya nak epidural. Dia pun kata- this is the best time klu nak epidural sbb baru 4cm. tapi sebelum anaesthetist dtg utk set epidural, kena tunggu habis run IV fluid 1 pint dulu. rasa cam tak percaya pulak nak beranak hari ni

1300H: The anaesthetists, Dr Majid & Dr Azian came in- explained to me about the procedure for epidural etc etc. Dr Azian (who is a very nice lady) then set the epidural. Masa set epidural tu tak rasa sakit sgt, yg tak bestnya sbb kena tahan sakit contraction dlm keadaan duduk mengerengkot mcm udang sementara tunggu epidural tu settle. Once the epidural effect sets in, rasa sgt comfortable!!! Boleh rasa ada contraction tapi tak sakit langsung! Kaki rasa kebas sikit. Masa ni boleh borak2 & gelak2 dgn hubbee since rasa sgt comfortable, thanks to the epidural. Started on IV Pitocin.

1400H: tiba2 je rasa mcm ada recurrent stabbing pain kat peha kanan everytime ada contraction. Sakit sungguh rasanya, everytime sakit tu dtg terpaksa pulas tgn hubbee. Dr Azian dtg review & readjust epidural catheter tu. Most likely sakit tu sbb kepala baby dah further descend into the pelvis. Even after readjust epidural catheter tu, sakit tu still tak hilang. Midwife repeat VE- os dah 7cm. Dr Majid dtg & bagi 1 dose of ? (can’t remember the name of the medication) to relieve the pain tapi pastu dia inform yg ada possibility kena vakum / forseps sbb nanti takde sensation nak bear down masa 2nd stage of labour. Tak lama lepas tu sakit sume hilang, langsung tak rasa apa2 eventhough contraction kuat

1500H: VE done- os already 10cm, station: 0. wow tak sangka bole tahan cepat progress dr 4cm to 10cm in 3 hours only hehe. tapi takde rasa nak push bcoz of the epidural. Midwife kurangkan dos epidural so that ada sensation nak bear down. Pastu start pushing so that the station is lower. Terpaksa push ikut instruction midwife everytime dia kata ada contraction sbb saya langsung tak rasa contraction tu. Masa ni baru la berani nak minum sikit air selusuh yg mak kasi.

1550H: Dr Suriati dtg utk conduct delivery. Station dah sgt2 low. Already 50 minutes in the 2nd stage. Masa ni rasa sgt takut sbb tak nak end up dgn instrumental delivery, klu boleh nak SVD jugak. Hubbee tak putus2 bagi support. Ada sikit je rasa mcm nak terberak. So bila contraction dtg, push sekuat hati. & sepanjang yg boleh Tak rasa ape2 pun masa Dr Suriati buat episiotomi, cuma boleh nampak dia ambik episiotomy scissors je pastu zass.

Akhirnya tepat jam 1555H 23 april 2008, lahirlah Alisya Irdina binti Mohd Syarbaini. Birth weight: 3.05kg, length; 49cm, head circumference: 33cm. Dr Suriati put her on my lap after cutting off the umbilical cord.The first time I laid my eyes on her; I cried in happiness- the feeling was just indescribable!! .

Alhamdulillah syukur sgt2 semuanya selamat. Kitorang dah ready kamera nak ambik gambar baby yg fresh after delivery tapi yg tak bestnya ada sorang nurse ni sengal sikit sibuk2 tak kasi hubbee ambik gambar baby dlm labour room & masa diorg bersihkan baby. Geram betul rasanya dgn nurse tu.

Dr Suriati habis stitch dlm 10 minit je, masa tu pun tak rasa sakit langsung sbb ada epidural.Lepas delivery, rasa nak termuntah sgt2. habis keluar balik semua nasi lemak makan pagi tadi. Pastu rasa penat yg teramat sgt, tak pernah rasa sepenat itu sepanjang hidup ni. On call back to back pun tak rasa penat mcm tu. Tak lama lepas tu midwife bwk masuk baby utk try breastfeeding. Bila tgk baby rasa mcm tak percaya je dah berjaya beranakkan dia hehe. 2 jam lepas delivery baru kena tolak masuk wad & esoknya after lunch hour dah boleh discharge.

ni gambar alisya umur sehari lepas balik hospital


alisya dgn nenek selayang


great things come in small packages


alisya umur 12 hari lepas tanggal pusat


Bila dah ada anak ni rasa hidup dah sempurna. Dah ada harta yg paling berharga. Walaupun penat jaga baby, rasa sgt berbaloi setiap kali bangun pagi dpt tgk muka baby kat sebelah. Alhamdulillah Alisya tak banyak ragam.

tertidur lepas breastfeeding


Speaking of breastfeeding, masa 3 hari pertama lepas bersalin tu mmg takde susu langsung walaupun setitik. So terpaksa bagi formula milk walaupun mmg plan nak exclusive BF sejak awal lagi. Lepas 3 hari & lepas kena urut dgn mak bidan barulah colostrum keluar. Harapnya dpt terus BF alisya at least sampai umur 6 bln.

Alisya’s ‘mini-milestones’ at 2 weeks old:
- She smiles spontaneously


- she really loves her 'tummy-time play'


-When I pick her up, she will quiet down

-She can lift her head briefly when lying on her tummy


-Can relax & open up her hands. Will grasp an object placed in her hand (grasp reflex)


-loves to put her hand into her mouth when she's hungry


Abah & Mummy love you so much Alisya!!

i'm still here, belum bersalin lagi
hari ni baby dah 39 wks+ 2 days.
sepjg minggu lepas asyik terfikir bila agaknya baby ni nak keluar?
since my menstrual cycle is shorter than 28 days, my obstetrician predicted that the baby will come out before the EDD, probably by 39 wks
and so..we wait
but up to yesterday still no signs & symptoms of labour lagi
i was wondering mcmana agaknya my labour would start- is it going to be the bloody show? contraction? or perhaps leaking liquor?
dah ramai family members yg call tanya dah bersalin ke?
jawapannya adalah belum lagi, jgn risau klu dah bersalin sure kitorg akan kasitau

it's not that i'm tired of being pregnant
cuma takut ter 'overdue' je
ish klu boleh tak nak la kena induce dgn prostin in case baby overdue
i prefer a spontaneous labour
dok fikir mcm2 sdgkan EDD 27 april ni, belum lepas pun lagi
maybe baby nak tunggu betul2 sampai EDD kot?
or maybe baby nak lajak sikit sehari lepas EDD (28 april) sbb 28 april tu our first wedding anniversary
huh bestnyaaa klu baby keluar exactly on the anniversary date, senang nak celebrate nanti- birthday baby + our wedding anniversary

speaking of our wedding anniversary, the baby herself will be a perfect anniversary gift for us , so takyah pening2 dah nak beli hadiah ape tahun ni
anyway takde definite plan lagi pun mcmana nak celebrate
klu tak pregnant bole la nak pi holiday mana2
since perut dah beso mcm ni nak pi holiday camanenya
klu baby keluar before 28 apr ni nampaknya confirm kena tangguh je la anniversary celebration utk tahun ni- mcmana la nak pi dinner yg best2 klu kena dok berpantang kat rumah???

alhamdulillah sepjg bercuti sementara nak tunggu baby jenguk dunia ni, almost sume plan yg ada dlm kepala ni dah tercapai.
assignment dah siap, rumah dah kemas (tapi tak lama pastu sepah balik ), puas dah jln2 bershopping sume sampai kaki sume sakit , income tax dah settle, buku2 yg nak dibaca ada yg dah khatam ada yg belum, dah pi tgk wayang & dah lepaskan gian nak makan cheese cake, chocolate cake, aiskrim & ice-blended starbucks
tinggal nak tunggu baby keluar je nih

yg tak tahan tu kaki ni dah makin bengkak, pakai sandal dah rasa sempit
wedding ring mmg dah tak bole pakai dah sbb rasa sempit
tak sabo rasanya nak bersalin pastu nak kurus balik & nak pakai high heels balik

anyway semlm pi antenatal check up lagi
kebetulan Dr Suriati tgh rush sbb kena attend sorang patient dah fully dilated kat labour room
so check up semlm cepat2 je la
BP, urine sume OK.
total weight gain: 14.5kg
masa scan tgk kepala baby mmg dah engaged sgt, Dr. nak amik measurement utk BPD pun dah susah
estimated fetal weight: 2.7kg.
klu tak bersalin gak, kena dtg lagi next week (28 apr) & Dr Suriati kata masa tu kena buat VE

pagi ni bangun2 tido terus pi toilet
tgk2 dah ada SHOW (bloody mucous/darah plus lendir)
tapi tak rasa ape2 contraction lagi
so tunggu la dulu
once regular contraction start nanti baru pi hospital
better relax2 dulu kat rumah sbb show without contraction kdg2 boleh last up to 3 days (teringat dulu2 pernah attend sorg patient ni dtg hospital sbb show without contraction. dia dtg 3 hari berturut2 pkl 3 pagi pulak tu tapi bila buat VE, os baru bukak 1cm, so suruh balik rehat kat rumah je la)
actually tak suka nak kena VE , klu boleh nak minimise kan insidens kena VE ni, biar kena VE bila betul2 perlu sahaja
Dr Suriati pun dah pesan klu ada show shj tapi takde contraction lagi, boleh tunggu dulu
so kita tunggu & lihat dulu mcmana progress lps ni.

mcm tak percaya je tak lama lagi dpt tgk muka baby yg siang mlm dok tendang2 kat dlm ni
doakan sumenya selamat ok

I’m 37wks+ pregy now- that means my baby is already term & it won’t be long before I can see my baby’s face!
I’m equally nervous & excited at the same time
Once the baby is out, my life will never be the same again
Btw I’m already on leave starting from 8th april until my EDD – just to finish up my annual leave before the actual maternity leave takes place followed by a longgg study leave

I have a lot of plans to do during this long leave such as go shopping/jalan2, watch movies in cinema, read up more on breastfeeding & infant stimulation programme, take more pregnancy photos, clean up the house, spend quality time with hubbee, finish up my coursework assignment etc etc (ambitious sungguh, tak tau la sempat tak buat semua).
Unfortunately my intention to go shopping & jalan2 is limited by my tummy size & my swollen feet.



My tummy has been increasing in size dramatically for the past 2 wks
Needless to say, the stretch marks are also increasing in number in parallel to the increased abdominal size.



I decided to try Bio-Oil for the stretch marks & was quite happy with the results- my stretch marks seem to improve in terms of its appearance & colour


(if only i knew that Bio-Oil can do wonder to stretch marks, I won't bother using palmer's cocoa butter since 7th wk of my pregnancy which didn't work for me)
Hubbee didn’t fancy the smell of the Bio-Oil, though.
My swollen feet become more swollen after a long walk in a shopping complex 2 days back.

However I still managed to watch Death Note 3- L Change The World with hubbee .
I think that’s going to be the last movie we watched together before the baby comes out. Once the baby is around, kena la puasa tgk wayang.
We’ll have to wait until the baby grows up & our movie selections will be limited to certain types of movies only.



Anyway I have my antenatal check up done early this week.
Vital signs & urine were all normal.
I’ve gained a total of 13kg so far.
Baby’s head was already engaged in the pelvis.
Since the baby’s head was already engaged, we could only see half of her nose & one of her eyes when the ultrasound probe was placed over her face
So no more picture perfect/baby’s photo print until delivery.
Estimated fetal weight was 2.43kg
[/color]
My obstetrician discussed with us about the methods available for pain relief during labour.
Based on my friends’ experiences, my obstetrician’s advice plus my own experience dealing with patients in labour, I’ve decided to take epidural provided that the timing is correct.
My next antenatal check up will be next week at wk 38 (in case I haven’t delivered yet).

Well, I want to share some not-so-nice experiences that I had recently.
1.Some people were uncomfortable with my decision to deliver in a private hospital instead of a government hospital- hey, I don’t even ask for your money to pay the hospital bills, so why bother? I have my own reasons for everything that I’ve decided & I hope those people will respect my choice.

2. Somebody said to me “nanti bila anak korang dah keluar, jgn nak suruh panggil ‘mama/papa’ ke ‘mummy/daddy’- jgn nak jadi mcm org putih”. He insisted that I stick to the more ‘traditional’ ‘mak’ or ‘ibu’ as it fits our culture well. Yg ni la yg paling aku GERAMMM sekali- again, it’s my 100% privilege to decide what my baby’s going to call me later, this is definitely not for someone else to decide! The baby belongs to us & not him, so there’s no need to give me unnecessary warnings. Btw I’ve already had my choice since early in my pregnancy & I’m not going to change it just because of one silly warning.

3. Somebody else ask me to go for traditional massage sessions to ‘correct the baby’s position’ so that the baby is ‘straight & easy to be delivered’. Hmm, I am really against this idea because such massage carries a risk of abruptio placenta (separation of placenta from the uterine wall) which is very dangerous. Btw my baby is already in cephalic presentation & the head is already engaged, so there’s no reason why I should go for that type of massage & put my baby at risk. I don’t mind having a tummy massage, but wait until the baby is delivered first lah.

My response to all the above situations is by smiling & keeping my mouth shut.
I see no point in arguing with those people since our way of thinking is just different.
Nanti tak pasal2 dikata tak hormat org tua pulak , so it’s better to keep quiet & continue whatever plan that I’ve had so far.

dah puas bergambar, model2 rasa sgt penat, so masa utk tido..zzzzzz

34wks+ pregy...that means about 3 more weeks to go before term & 5wks+ to go before my EDD
80% of women will deliver 2 wks before EDD while only 2% of babies arrive exactly on their due dates
i have mixed feelings nowadays: excited for the fact that i'm gonna hold my baby in my arms very soon plus nervous to go through the delivery process .
all this while i'd been on the other side of the bed - conducting the deliveries in labour room but soon i'll be on the bed myself



my antenatal check up went on well as usual.
i have mild ankle edema but my BP is normal & urine protein is negative.
oooh i really really hate the stretch marks!!!! -> damn you, cortisol for breaking down my collagen!! .
my mom survived all her pregnancies without a single stretch mark & i thought i inherited her good gene. however i was proven wrong when the reddish striae appeared on my thigh recently
to push away that depressed feeling, i have to keep on reminding myself that the stretch marks are just part & parcel of being a mother .
my baby now weighs about 2.2kg
the baby has grown up so much in the 3rd trimester so it's kind of hard to capture nice images of the baby during ultrasound .
i haven't packed my hospital bag yet.. but i'll make sure the bag is ready in a few days' time

btw hubbee & i went jalan-jalan at pavilion KL yesterday

got special appearance by F1 Williams team there.
i'm still a loyal Ferrari fan, though







nice view




live band performance






lastly, managed to stock up my Clinique skin care products so that i won't run out of supply during confinement later
