16 weeks and counting...

Assalamualaikum my dearest,

Last Monday marks my 16 weeks old pregnancy... Alhamdulillah~ 4 months sudah my kandungan. Terima kasih ya Rabb ke atas perlindungan Mu. And with that jua, it's has been 4 months dah me inda jalan2... except work lah ah...

I know most mother-to-be banyak kan shopping for maternity clothes msani :) As for me, dapat dibagi gambaran saja that I've not gain any weight (mostly due to the baus-ness) and Alhamdulillah baju semua masih muat. Ditagur plang leh nurse last time, next time wear maternity jeans / pants ah~ hehe nda ulah if masih muat? Plus, as mentioned earlier... inda nyaman rasanya jalan2 the past few months ani...

I believe I have not shared one of my symptoms (apart from baus, vomitting and the likes) lagi. It's...... well- too much info here but I'm sharing my experience kan?..... it's excessive saliva production. Auuuuuuu, I know.. hence payah kan becerita and if jalan2 pun nda siuk. I can't just stop by the roadside every 10-15 mins just to spit out, can I? Some suggest bawa bakul and lapisi plastic with lots and lots and lots of tissues. But still.... nda jua me sanggup cos I normally spit, gargle and wash my mouth. -my dearest baby, this is what mum have to endure while having you in my womb... please be a good child :)

4 months.... hmmmm, 5 more months to go until baby is out! Makes me wonder jua what sort of things I need to prepare for our child's arrival! I've read a few articles and sites *oh my* better start creating a list now so that I can check further lagi on what me and the little one needs:

• breastfeeding kit / pump (manual or electric?)
• bottle feeder (variety of brand to choose from... hoooodear~ but recommended yang BPA free, will explain more in my next entry yeah?)
  
• diapers (disposable or LunaTots?)
• sterilisers (highly recommended yang microwave punya)
  
• post-natal supplements (kampung or commercialised ones?) still weighing on where I want to do my post-natal treatment @ 'pantang' nanti...
  
• beddings (baby bumpers, duvet etc)
  
• bathing accessories (so many to choose from.... *phew*)
  
• carseat

I'm praying that both baby and myself are fine throughout this journey. Mudahan sentiasa dilindungi Allah jua.. *Amin* Need to start scheduling our shopping time ni (macam masa kahwin th jua ah~ hehehe) Hopefully this coming Ramadhan boleh dah jalan2 lh sikit. Insya-Allah~ All in all, I have to start scouting all baby shops in Brunei for all these things. Triplestar.. Bebeland.. mothercare...Hua Ho...Soon Lee...Times Square... mana lagi?

:D
