Hello!


It really has been a long time since I last logged in to blog.

Blame it on procrastination. I also have yet to upload my Hari Raya Pics in FB or even do an entry on it. Too busy and too lazy I guess.

Btw, I am at my 29 weeks pregnancy now. Doctor has confirmed that baby is a boy and that at the rate he's growing now, he'll be a huge baby. Just like his sister.

I am currently gaining a constant 2.1 kg every month now for the past 3 months. But according to others, I still look the same. Only chubby cheeks probably. Hence, I find it quite comforting that I am not FAT.

The back ache is really terrible these few months. Now, I can barely last for 30 minutes in whatever I do be it standing, sitting or cleaning. Worse, when I lay down, getting up was oh-so-difficult due to the back cramps. I went to try a prenatal massage last week at Bella Luna. It works for a while, but the pain's back now.

I loved the spa at Bella Luna. So high class, nice esthetics but yet affordable price. After the prenatal massage, I actually signed up for the post natal massage package that was discounted at only $788 w/o GST.

This package consist of 5 home recovery treatments, with massage, sea salt scrub, tummy wrap and steamer inclusive with 5 baby massage. It also consist of another 5 slimming spa treatment to be held at the spa once a week after my confinement period.

I think it's worth it. haha

I have also settled the hospital deposits and other things. From the last scan, baby is weighing 1.225kg at 28 weeks. If the weight increases further, my gynae suspected that it could be another C-Sec. Though I paid the deposit for C-sec, I heave a sigh of relief as the hospital will refund the balance should I eventually get to have normal delivery. Only thing left is to shop a few clothes for the lil boy. Other things like steriliser will be shared with the sister.

In other news, praises to Allah, husband and I will be getting a new ride this 1-2 weeks. We bought a second hand car Toyota Rush 1.5A and that we'll be able to use it for another 5 more years. The car was still in very good condition though. Leather seats and modified rims. Very nice. First time I sat on it, I immediately fall in love. Though the monthly loan is abit more expensive than other used cars like Nissan Sunny and Hyundai Avante, I guess husband decided on this as I am already sold with the car. I'll take pictures of it soon and post on FB.. (if im not lazy)

Two weeks ago, my lil angel got infected with the Hand-Foot-Mouth disease (HFMD) from school. And I actually took time off to care for her. Actually also it was my boss who prevented me from coming to work. THough HFMD is rare to spread among adults, there are cases where it spreads and my boss has been handling a couple of claims on adults HFMD. So yup, when the lil angel recovered a week after she got it, I still kept her at home as her skin was peeling. Unfortunately, husband got it after that. I still have no idea how that was possible (maybe he didnt wash his hands after play time w her) as he is not even the one taking care of her.

But alhamdullilah, I am clear of the disease thus far. Both of them have recovered and have returned to work and school.

Finally, as my second sister is getting married next month, my parents have decided to do a significant renovation to our place (my parents house). Not only becuase they will be living with us temporarily till they move out but also because it is TIME to renovate. It has been 14 years already and the kitchen cabinets are all falling off. Not to mention the damage that my cats did to our furnitures.

We've discarded the furnitures yesterday as hacking work will start tomorrow. Our balcony, kitchen, study room, store and toilets will be majorly renovated. The rest is just hacking of the bedroom wardrobes to make way for new ones and change of bedroom doors.

Everything is of course due to complete about a week before the wedding, and of course before I pop!

Alright then, enough ranting. I'm going home now to rest before the angel comes back. Love!
