20 weeks!!

Alhamdulillah, I am halfway down the road with my pregnancy :) And as schedule, it's time for my 1st ultrasound in the 2nd trimester!!~

Anxious I was yesterday, pressured by byk orang ckp my bump looks rather small for my pregnancy age.

Me : kami adi-beradi andang damit semua towards the end krg jgn tekajut if basar *lol*

Others : tpi durg ada baus2 jua mcm u?

Me : uhh- nda plang? but hey look at me.. i was cute masa baby (not to brag) and my mum's symptoms was more or less the same like mine when she was having me :) (but starts to feel abit worried takut bnr ckp dorg the baby damit)

So yeah, moral of the story... don't let what others say get into you.. especially yang bagi beuri2 atu.. I mean, if your family cool saja then cool tah jua saja. Some women can be soooooooo annoyingly over when it comes to dealing with pregnancies! I'm glad my family inda... Alhamdulillah~

Anyhoots, the U/S session went well yesterday. Measuring procedures were jutted down and yes, curious ol' me had to look into several sites to actually figure out what all the measurements mean. Boleh kan betanya the doctor but I was in desperate need to peepee msatu *lol* And Alhamdulillah, semua upto 90th percentile (based on the charts). See, they have this charts which the nurses and doctors refer to to see the development of the baby. Ada garisan 10%, 50%, 90% (ani based on my research saja ni... have yet to know from the doctor herself nanti) between 10%-90% atu kira ok lah. Within the range and @ 20wks, more time to grow. Wallahuwa'lam.

Seeing the little one's heart beats, spinal structure, thighs yg gebu-segebunya, arms and hands.. ya-Allah, betapa hebatnya ciptaanMu... I almost break into tears sampai nda sampat to ask the doctor to print them out *sigh* Let it be a memory for me, myself and hubs. As for the gender, like mommy.. dearest little one is being secretive jua. A surprise is good yes? Hehehe we'll just have to wait and see tu nanti. And not forgeting, bli baju yang unisex th saja ni. :D I have yet to set a shopping schedule for this next 4 mths! Well- actually, I have approx. 3 mths left to do my preparations. It's time to print out the shopping list.

Until the next time... stay healthy and stay safe!

18 weeks...

Assalamualaikum dearest,

A very good Friday to all! *smiles* Attended my appointment last Saturday and Alhamdulillah, I could hear my baby's heartbeat. I'm due for ultrasound in 2 weeks and yes, nervous I is for this session~ Last I had one was at a private clinic when I was just 8 weeks!

My bump has started to show but yeah, it's still small for a 4 mths+ preggy woman (most of my colleagues ckp lah ah) Then again, both my sisters don't really 'show' when they were at this stage of pregnancy and Alhamdulillah, all my cute nieces & nephews were born normal and chubby! (Pray for my baby's good health).

Last appointment showed an improvement jua, 0.8kg gained! :D (Sikit saja? I rmember the nurse said to me) Greatful th me sudah tu cos finally, I have gained!! The past few months been losing weight saja.... soooo, Mama's pretty happy now eventhough improvementnya sikit saja! I've also picked up a slow increase with my appetite but ofcourse, there will always be some food yang I can't take. Fruits are still my highly consumed food (keep it up kata my doctor), home made pasta bolognaise is alright now (except the cooking bit- still not able to cope with the smell *sigh*) french toast! oh i loveeee this!!! well- basically anything that does not smell of shallots and garlic is alright with me la...

Hmmm, what else is there to update? Ouh, ouh!!! I am now officially NOT baus to drinking milk (low fat ones lah) hence... helloooo AnMum Materna (Chocolate). I dare not drink milk, as in just MILK for the time being.. takut termuntah. I still do! Occasionally. Yth mesti jaga2..

WORK? Well, it's been treating me kind these days... can't wait for August though, cos it's HALF DAY! Whoopiieee!! And the more rest me and baby will have. September feast is another time to look out to~ :D I'll be in my 3rd trimester then... mudah-mudahan dilindungi dari segala ancaman *Amin*
