19 weeks

Week: 19

Weight Gain: 4 kg +/-

Week dilemma: How much weight did I put on, actually?


Alhamdulillah, I am 19-week pregnant and so far everything's fine,
Just the fact that I can no longer fit in my jeans and shirts and also baju kurung, did annoyed me a bit, but the rest are fine.
As I previously blog, I had my monthly check-up last Saturday.
Alhamdulillah, semuanya ok. My baby was 12 cm. I think that is quite small, compared to the ideal length which is 16 cm. Tapi doc ckp semuanya ok, the baby is healthy and at the right position. I'm not that surprise if my baby is small sbb my mom told me, I was a tiny baby once. No wonder I am the smallest, tiniest and cutest among my siblings..heheh..peace!

Anyway, my doc asked me, do you want to see the baby's gender??
I dah berdebar2.. aperlah agaknya gender baby I ni.. lelaki ke perempuan?
Unfortunately, the doc said, baby tu sorok anu-anu dia.. so he said by next check up I should have seen the gender.. nampaknya baby ni nak bagi mummy nervous ni.. And I have to wait for another month to know the gender of my baby..
Last night I dream of my baby's gender... In my dream, I'm having a baby girl. Then, it turns out that it's going to be a twin baby girl.. wow... is that true?? So far I pegi scan, there's just one heartbeat.. tapi.. mimpikan mainan tido.. so it might or might not be true.. only God knows..

And I should register to childbirth preparation class. Hem.. maybe next month..
This week, I still can't feel my baby kicking or moving. Maybe sebab kecik sgt so bila dia bergerak2 I tak terasa la kot.. Tapi kadang2 tu, ada rasa sakit2 sikit kat perut ni.. Is that how we should have felt if the baby is moving? Ntahla..

But anyway, my dilemma this week, how much weight did I actually gained this week?
Every morning bila I timbang, usually about 52-53 kg (my normal weight is 50kg). Tapi bila I timbang kat hospital, my weight was 54kg. I was shocked!! Biar betik!!! 54 kg?? Penimbang kat rumah tu ke yg salah atau roti telur yang I had for breakfast hari tuh yang naikkan berat I sampai 54kg??
And sometime I am such in denial that I am pregnant and will put on weight, at least 10 kgs, by the end of my pregnancy..
Skrg baru naik 3-4 kgs dah freaked out and sometimes, I reduced my food consumption cuz I hate it when I don't have enuff baju to wear (asyik-asyik pakai baju yang sama) and some ppl ckp, "waa.. you put on weight.." "waa.. muka you dah chubby.." "wa.. dah nampak perut..."
Hello??!! I'm 5 months pregnant, ok??
Well that's my dilemma and I know that I have to get over it!

OK.. I think I dah start mumbling dah ni.. I better stop now.. and wait for my next week's dilemma..

Have a nice weekend!!!!

Roles and Responsibility

I am almost 8 months married to Dy, and eversince the day I am married to him, I accepted my new role as a wife and so far I'm loving it..Orang kata berkahwin ni memang seronok, tp tanggungjawab yang dipikul oleh seorang isteri amat berat sekali. Dan kadangkala bila berbual-bual dengan rakan atau saudara mara yang telah berkahwin, sempat juga berkongsi tentang tanggungjawab dan so-called "pantang larang" seorang isteri kepada seorang suami..

Frankly, selepas berkahwin ni, banyak mengajar diri saya untuk lebih bersabar dan akan mengambil kira apa kata suami sebelum berbuat apa-apa. Itu antara sifat2 yang jarang ada pada saya, sewaktu kami bercinta dulu. Memandangkan both of us bekerja dan masih tinggal dengan my parents di Damansara, saya terasa banyak peranan saya telah diambil oleh Bibik dirumah. Memasak, mengemas rumah, lipat baju, etc.. semua tanggungjawab yang sepatutnya dipikul oleh seorang isteri. Namun, suami saya tidak pernah merungut. Semua tanggungjawab itu telah saya pikul semasa 3 bulan kami di London selepas kami berkahwin. Jadi kadangkala, ada jua terfikir, adakah saya seorang isteri yang bertanggungjawab? Have I done enough as a wife?

Jadi, bila ada saja peluang untuk saya berbuat sesuatu untuk hubby, pasti saya takkan lepaskan peluang.. Previously, sebelum hubby ada kereta, saya akan ambil dia dari HKL. You know the traffic from Glenmarie to HKL? It's almost a hour journey, yet I'm not complaning. Besides, itu ajelah masa yang ada untuk kami berbual2 dalam kereta. Bila dah sampai rumah nanti dah kepenatan. If my parents ada dinner kat luar, we'll take the opportunity untuk dinner together kat luar juga. That's how we appreciate the time cuz frankly, it's not easy being married to a doc. Mula-mula hubby mula kerja, mmg rasa stress, tambahan lagi sbb masa tuh baru je pregnant and I felt as if I was neglected. But that's the price I have to pay.. dan saya redha... Tapi skrg hubby dah tak perlukan saya amik dia lagi. His persona has replaced my role.

Few days ago, Dy ckp dia dah bosan pagi2 mkn toast. Sampaikan dia tak breakfast. I know, if he doesn't take his breakfast, he won't eat anything else until lunch. So, semalam, sehari suntuk saya berfikir, what should I prepare for him? Usually pagi2, Hubby akan bangun sendiri, prepare his breakfast and siap2 pegi kerja. Before dia pergi, dia akan kejut saya.. That's the routine everyday. My role here is to make sure semua roti, jem, susu sentiasa ada. Tapi since Dy dah komplen tak mao mkn roti lagi, pening juga nak memikirkan apa yang nak dimasak.. Yesterday, I went for groceries shopping @ TMC. I have a travelling cooker so I bought small pan, minyak , eggs and few stuff for breakfast. This morning, first time I woke up early and prepare french toast for him.




Our small pantry


French Toast. Cute kan dapo ni??

I'm not complaining that I have to sacrifice my 30 mins sleep just to make sure that I can feed my hubby's tummy. As long as he is happy, that will make me happy.

18 weeks

Week : 18
Weight gain: 3 +/- kg
Week dilemma: How many months pregnant am I?


I am 18 weeks this week. Almost 19 actually..
This week my dilemma was how do you calculate how many months pregnant are you?
I've been browsing few pregnancy websites and semuanya bagi different calculation.
One book ckp, 5 months is from week 19 to 22..
One website ckp, 5 months is from week 18 to week 21
And another website claimed, 5 months is from week 16 to week 20..
My hubby said, the doctors don't usually calculate by months but by week instead.. that is to be precise..
Yes, I agree..
Tapi kalau jumpa org, tak ke org tanya, dah berapa bulan?? Then, how am I supposed to answer that? Me myself dah confused with the whole calculation..
Sigh**

Tomorrow ada check-up.
Hope dapat tau baby's gender, although it doesn't really matter sbnrnya..
I still can't feel my baby's movement
Some said, sbb this is my first baby so the I will feel it later, compared to the ones yang dah beranak byk ni.. and also, I might not know how does it feel sbnrnya..
Maybe one day if my baby bagi satu tendangan yang kawww.. then I'll be able to feel it..
And tomorrow I will also get my blood test result..
Hopefully semuanya ok..
Nasib baik Dy dapat cuti, or else, blur la pegi check up sorang2.. cuz he usually asks the questions..
**********************************************
I was surfing on http://www.gua.com.my/, watching Kerana Karena and overall I think it's a good show. Although it is a short episode, but it is entertaining.
Anyway, I wanna share with you what I found in gua.com. MUUNG..
Muung ni citer dia tentang seekor anak lembu yang dijumpai oleh sekelompok keluarga lembu. So, kisahnya bermula bila hak penjagaan anak lebu ni di pass-pass antara lembu2 dlm kelompok tu.. The storyteller I think is Afdlin. pasal tuh la klako...
Till next time.. daaa

The day I found out I am pregnant


On 18th August 2007, I was 2-3 days late for my period. My hubby urged me to take the pregnancy test and so I did..

A friend of ours gave the pregnancy test kit as a wedding gift.. (thanx Zahari for the pregnancy test. At first we saw it as a laughing matter, yet your gift brought us the good news!)

At first, I never thought that I'm pregnant since in my previous month, my period can be delayed up to 2 weeks and the test was always negative..

So, that morning, I did the test.. And I couldn't believe my eyes, it was POSITIVE..

I was speechless, yet hubby was so excited..

So many things went through my mind.. "I'm pregnant.. for real???" "Am I ready to be a mother?"

Later, we went to Ikano & IKEA. We bought more pregnancy test. This time I bought 2 sets, different brands...

I tested again.. POSITIVE..

This time I'm sure, I am pregnant.. and from that day onwards, everything change..

No more weight lifting, no more junkies, no more pineaple (I'm so not ready to let go Hawaian Chicken, Pajeri Nenas)..

Until today, I keep on updating myself about pregnancy and what to expect during pregnancy..
Frankly, being pregnant makes me uncomfortable with my own body, as if I have to explore and get to know my body, all over again..

Reading pregnancy website, books.. but 1 thing that I am not ready yet.. watching video on labour and listening about the pain in labour.., that I'm sure
As time passes by, I keep on asking myself, am I ready for the change? Will I be a good mother? How will I take care of my baby?? How will I cope with the new responsibility? Am I ready to sacrifice my sleeping time, shopping time?

Only time and experience will tell..
