@ 4 months

update... update...

last saturday genap 4 months of my pregnancy.
so far alhamdulillah. baby in good condition. pembesaran baby normal.
tapi berat badan aku x naik2 (dlm FB aku tulis naik 0.5kg kan? actually x naik langsung, bila aku tgk balik card merah yg doc tulis tu. start pregnancy sampai now aku baru naik 0.5kg!) terkejut gak. padahal if tgk pada condition perut mcm aku dh pregnant 5-6 bulan. adakah ini bermakna mama dia lose weight?? sgt jauh beza compare to preggykan hardy dulu.
time hardy dulu, min mesti naik 2-3kg tiap2 bulan. that's why sampai nk deliver, total berat naik around 25kg.

position atas ni. actually baby tgh position duduk. nampak dia dok buat streching dok pegang kaki & lutut. excercise ok!! sgt x mcm mama dia. LOL

lepas check-up kami terus pi midvalley. konon nk pi 2nd Motherhood expo la. OMG.. manusia ramai gila. dh mcm pi whsale rupanya. stroller x leh gerak dlm tu. last2 aku suruh shahnun tunggu kat luar je dgn hardy.
sib baik le perut aku x boyot sgt kan, so nk mencelah between org ramai tu x  kisah le. ada few preggy ladies yg aku tgk dh sarat. sian sgt.. terhimpit2 celah org ramai.

konon nk survey breastpump set. sekali pi booth MLO, ramai dgt org & package dia sama je mcm dlm website. so x per la, mak bl online je la kan.
last2 bl bio-oil je coz murah skit. tgk sling, sling yg aku dh aim x de pulak. aku rs aku ronda dlm tu x sampai 30 mins.
aku dh keluar. dgn panasnya... packnya manusia. x tahan aih...

lepas tu pi centre court dia ada promo sustagen. so hardy pun take part le semata2 nk dpt free gift. ok la, not bad the activities. dapat le sample susu sustagen for hardy. tapi balik umah bancuh kat hardy.. anak aku leh buat muka 'bluek-bluek' x sedap katanya... dia memangggggg, dia minat susu2 murah je. doa2 le anak no 2 mcm hardy gak. :)

nampak x perut aku tu.. tu x nampak sgt...

ada few stations. this is one of the station. kena tembak healthy food.

another station is to ajar budak2 pilih vege & fruits.
ps: aku bwk beg CK mcm bwk LV je gayanya kan? ha ha ha

then, kena feed picture tu.

eh apasal mak & anak happy??

yg ni best. guna mouse & drag ingredient nk masak.

then, dh complete semua, baru buleh pi redeemed free gift. time ni aku dok bz melayan salesgirl soh aku bl sustagen kat hardy. ish x paham2 tau.. anak aku x suka sustagen!!

update - hardy shah

siannn anak bujangku sorang itu. semenjak mama dia bz dgn kerja x habis2 + bz dok usung perut + bz shopping brg for 2nd baby. so cerita dia cam x diupdate sgt kat blog ni. if update pun more kat FB.

so here goes....

hardy's update -

alhamdulillah..... dh tau semua bacaan dlm solat. altho byk sebutan terpeleot2 lagi, but mak & bapak dia sgt impressed ok!! nak harap mak bapak dia ajar, sah2 le budak ni jenis x mo belajar from kami. so dia belajar sendiri from sekolah.
eh cerdik rupanya anak aku kan??? sat nk pikir aku kecik2 cerdik x? eh yer la, among adik beradik aku, aku yg 1st kenal ABC masa umo 2 thn. pastu 1st yg tau baca. tapi terer takat sekolah rendah je la kannnn..
masuk tingkatan... astarafillahhulazimmmmm..... dgn ketegaqnya, x dgr ckpnya. isk isk. sib baik masuk uni, insaf balik.
kalu x, serius makan penampaq dgn mak aku je. eh apsal tersasul masuk cerita zaman aku kecik2 pulak ni???
ok ok..sambung citer hardy.....

latest obsession dia... BOWLING. and tgk wayang. nk kata time pregnantkan dia aku kaki wayang x jugak. apsal hardy kaki tgk wayang ni? x pe hardy, wayang still acceptable for mama hang. jgn jd kaki disco ke dangdut ke..SIAPPPPPP.....

last but not least, dia sgt excited nk dpt baby, dia yg paling suka tgk brg2 baby, kiss perut aku b4 tido & said good nite to baby. oh so touching... sob sob (minta mahap, preggy kali ni mama dia over sensitip pulak)
pastu bila jumpa org, dia will announce dgn suara yg kuat (yer anak aku suara cam guna speaker ok). "dlm perut mama ni ada baby GIRL". <---- girl ok!! girl! confident kan anak aku! aku aminkan je la. sila sebut 44x kali hardy. leh jadi kenyataan. :)

we had a lovely weekend kan kengkawan. lots of gelak, gelak & more gelak. really miss those time :)

busy bee....

been bz lately with office workload... it's like never ending story. I think that is why Allah SWT bless me with this pregnancy so that i can hv 2 months break from the chaos office life. (but the break would be in aug ok!!)


there are too many things on my plate now. am i capable to handle this responsibity?
i think i can, being an independent woman i used to challenge myself for some new adventure. but never been bz + pregnant at the same time. hope my baby will be strong as his/her mama as well. InsyaAllah.


our company will move from bangunan mas to UOA building this 23 april. now, another extra job to make sure we have a smooth sailing movement.
and there are 2 projects dateline. 15 april and 01 May. hmmm... hope everything will be OK.


april used to be my fave month coz i was born in april :)
but for this yr, it would be my challenging month and of course everyone is waiting for april for the appraisal.
not sure how much the salary increment, but everyone will get theirs. alhamdulillah. :)

despite the busyness.... i'm still able to do online shopping for baby's stuff. ha ha ha.. that's what we call multitasking.

some of items that i shop online:
~ nursing bras
~ bottles for EBM
~ EBM storage bags
~ breast pad/ nipple shield/ nipple cream
~ nursing pillow
~ swaddle
~ bath support
~ blanket
~ MAM's teats. so baby can accept both bfeeding + bottle feeding (learn fr hardy's experience ok!!!)

so now only left:
~ milkmaid tea
~ breastpump
~ sterilizer/warmer
~ nona roguy
~ tungku moden
~ sling
~ stroller

last but not least,
baby's clothes + mittens + socks (try to avoid booties. x comel. ;) ). will only start after we know gender of the baby.

ps: anything else that i miss? plan to fully bfeed my 2nd baby. InsyaAllah. :)

stroller story....

i'm not an expert in stroller, but i hv experience with it. :)
last weekend i spent my time browsing through the websites and checking on the strollers.

note - stroller is my life saver. so to get one for the new baby is a MUST!!

my 1st choice of course mothercare. not because of the brand (errr tipulah.. brand pun yer. LOL) but since i'm a bit 'cerdik' compare to 1st pregnancy, there are few criterias that i need in the new stroller.

1) lightweight
2) umbrella stroller
3) can support atleast 15kg
4) value for money
5) sturdiness

during hardy's time, i bought anakku stroller when i was 4 months pregnant. reason? coz anakku tgh buat sale & i cannot resist the red & blue color stroller. excuse me ladies. back then, i was working at sapura's office and the nearest shopping mall is the mines.
so we only have anakku there.
then, we have hardy and our weekend transport was my lovely kancil.
then i realize, the stroller cannot fit in my kancil boot. (because it is not an umbrella stroller. lipat also still lebar). darn!!

hardy in the "makan space' anakku stroller.

so our weekend outing would be, hardy in his carseat next to the driver, while me, at the back seat next to the stroller. :( sgt x best!!

i think before hardy 6 months old i went to mothercare and bought this.


jive stroller. pic courtesy fr mothercare.com



on the day we bought the stroller.

at 1st shahnun said it is a waste since the anakku stroller is still in good condition. but i think later he also admit that it is a good purchase since we need light, sturdy stroller for travel.


up to today, the stroller is still in good condition. except for the wheels yg mcm gelong2 skit. yer la, you think berapa berat hardy now?? & x kira dh brapa kali kena campak naik/turun from flight.

this jive stroller is value for money and survived in few family vacations. we've been using the stroller since hardy 5 months old up to now ( 5 years old). wow that really good kan?

one of the weekend outing. i think ni kat s.pyramid. (oh comeinya betis ituuuuu.... ketot & tembam je)

@ zoo negara

one of our Bandung trip.

HK trip.

Spore trip

but jive only can recline 45 degree je. it meant for 6 months old baby. so i need to get something diff but same quality as jive.

then, i found this:

Aulto stroller. from birth up to 15kg.

it comes with hood, lightweight & umbrella fold.

i've read many good reviews on Aulto stroller.
one of it from HERE

hope mothercare still hv stock in mothercare london. coz in london, the price is almost 50% less than here.
so to my dear sista, i want to kirim this cannnnnn?? :)

@ 3 months. (1st trimester)

alhamdulillah, this saturday i'll completed my 1st trimester.

sepanjang 1st trimester ni, something diff yg aku rs compared to my 1st pregnancy are
1) rs loya2 (altho x de la sampai muntah2). so hari2 aku telan apple hijau/merah.
2) tiap2 minggu taste/mengidam bertukar2. ie: ada 1 week tu gila mkn mee kari. then, ada 1 week tu, ketam. for this week, ikan terubuk.
3) more sensitive.
4) my patience sgt le kurang. pantang salah skit. aku terus sound direct. my colleugues & staffs notice this.


we went to my 1st check-up on Saturday to check if there's baby heartbeat, etc, etc.
Alhamdulillah, doc letak je kat perut, terus nampak this lil H/S bouncing in my womb. sgt active. the best part, i think dia tgh hiccups. cute sgt nampak 'benda' bulat terpusing2, sambil non-stop hiccups. :)

"+" sign on the right tu kepala baby. why aku rs cam montel je budak ni? he he he

hardy volunteer to snap this. pandangan depan. (pls excuse, muka br bgn tido itu)

pandangan tepi. takut wei tgk perut sendiri. baru 3 bulan tu.

as a pompuan yg x reti2 bersabar..... i started to shop brg2 baby skit2.
still remember there's an entry in 2008? My 2nd baby wishlist . Brg2 dlm tu still relevant tu. so i'm using that as my reference.

Fisher Price take along swing. portable & senang nk bwk balik kg.

bought SNIGLAR changing table couple of weeks ago. last saturday bl pulak the changing pad tu.

i started to korek balik baju2 newborn hardy & i only managed to get these. so after basuh balik, i keep it in this bekas ikea (x ingat apa nama dia). this time semua brg aku bl kaler merah. coz if girl, Alhamdulillah. if boy, pun ok. merah tu kan universal color.

byk rompers je. nampak x red hippo tu? i cannot resist fr not to buy it. comel. time hardy dulu, toys ikea dia byk mr blue elephant. for 2nd baby, i opted for red hippo pulak.
this bekas will be place kat bwh changing table tu.

spore - day 3 (FINALE)

ok ok...
last entry for Spore. punya la lambat aku nk habiskan...


day 3, semua bgn lambat. coz semlm lepas balik fr USS, kawan2 sekolah menengah kami dtg amik & bwk kami pi supper. sampai 1am.


pagi ni, my sis & kawan2 dia decided nk pi merlion & marina sands bay. kami??? he he he... orchard road lagi!! x dak mood nk pi area merlion. coz x pi lg paragon.

dlm cab on the way to orchard rd.

kami terus pi Paragon. aku memang aim nk dtg sini coz mothercare dia besar. & ada playground for kids kat sini. nampak x mothercare belakang tu? time ni aku dok bz shopping dlm mc.

MC tgh sale (selected items). bottle ni ada 70% less. so i got RM20 for 3 bottles! RM20 yer. bukan SGD20. oh mak sukaaaaa......

ok, dah dah... mama dh lapaq.



depan paragon.



jom pi balik lucky plaza.

time ni around 11.30am. lengang ayam penyet ria tu. hardy buat mcm kedai sendiri.

coz ayam dia portion sgt le besar. so kami amik satu je ayam + bakso. fyi, kat sini ayam penyet dia comes with nasi kosong. kat mesia je kena bl asing2.

dlm bakso tu ada bihun. budak ni je yg habiskan.

bye-bye orchard rd. ada rezeki kami sampai shopping perfume lg ke? ha ha ha.. penting tu, shopping perfume je!!

adegan dlm cab. sanggup ni, terperosok kat tempat kaki, coz nk concentrate main gameboy.

balik hotel, pack brg & check out. ni hotel yg kami stay.

hardy since dlm cab dh zzzz...

nampak itu muka2 excited nk pi claim GST???

tgk signboard. nk pi area GST refund.

muka happy coz dpt GST refund SGD8 coz bl brg SGD150. so moral of the story, next time korang pi spore & nk shopping perfume, check dulu kedai tu ada x GST refund. kalu ada bagusss... so imagine la, aku dh spend dekat SGD500 for perfume kat kedai yg x dak GST refund. kalu x puluh2 dollar gak aku leh dpt balik. x pe.. xpe.. next time.

kat changi airport byk free internet.

aku suka kat sini coz byk pokok orchids. abaikan muka anak aku yg baru bgn tido tu.

flight kami pkl 4 lebih. so sempat le habiskan saki baki SGD, mkn kat Delifrance. sini pun halal. dun worry. hardy amik plain croissant je.

mak yong harus lah over. seafood croissant sandwich. my all time fave.
