Little Bubba Kicked!!

We had a bit of a scare on Sunday night cause Dia woke up in the middle of the night crying her little heart out and soon after vomited all her food out. These days it’s pretty difficult to get any food in her so can you imagine the frustrations when she vomits it all out.. And this is probably the third time the vomit in the middle of the night thing happened. So late that night I decided to take Dia to the Clinic in the morning. Alhamdulillah Dr TK Chan told us, its nothing to be worried about, the vomiting is just a way for her to remove all the phlegm in her throat. We are lucky that only Mrs Sniffles and Mr Cough came to visit and not Madam Fever cos then that will be another story. So off we went with some meds..

Picking out which book to read with Mummy

We think the weather is a contributing factor as to why Dia has not been feeling well. Oh speaking of the weather, we finally set up a mini playground in my mum’s living room for Dia and the others.. Oh the joy of seeing their faces while they play. I really wish we have my own place so we can assign one proper play room for Dia to play in and basically make a mess in!

The Dr also note that Dia is pretty small for her age and have recommended that we give her Pediasure FM.. Given that this FM can be given simultaneously with the Enfagrow that Dia is taking now so we decided to give Pediasure for her midnight feedings only, for now.

Oh late Sunday night as I was lulling away to sleep and thinking of taking Dia to the clinic the next day I felt a small nudge in my lower left tummy. I brushed it off as gas or something, then it happened again, at the same spot.. So went on google and it says that I should be able to feel the baby kick around 16-22 weeks.. Could that be a kick? I placed my hand there again and THERE IT IS!!! JOY!!!!!! Its kind funny that I am all excited about it as if I never experienced it before.. To be honest I can’t remember the first time I felt Dia kick..! LOL

Oh speaking of Little Bubba, I am slowly creating my wishlist of things to buy which basically comprise of things I did not get when I first had Dia cause we brushed it off as not a necessity or that it was too late to buy it for Dia.. hehehe

Oh I finally took out my maternity clothes over the weekend and after general cleaning (given that it has been in a container box for the past 21 months) I finally tried some on last night. Having Dia around while I was doing this is quite a challenge! She kept on asking ‘ani apa?’ ‘untuk apa?’.. Here is an excerpt on how the conversation goes according to the hubs..

Nadia: ani apa kn ni?
Nani: kain...
Nadia: kain apa?
Nani: kain mami...
Nadia : ani apa kn ni..?
Nani: .........
Nadia: ani apa kn ni...

(and this cycle of conversation went on for like 10 times!!!) LOL

Taking a step back

I mentioned a couple of post back that Dia has been taking her FM well (Plus side!). On average she takes approximately 30-40oz per day... On the Minus side, she has now reduced her food intake.. huhu She sometimes refuses to take her porridge or anything else we give her! Can you imagine our frustrationnnns....! huhu Nonetheless we try to be creative in what sort of food with give her pulang and so far her favorite is mushroom soups and lots and lots of fruits.. She has developed a liking on Kiwi fruits, despite how sour it is! Oh and those tiny mandarin oranges!!

BTW TGIF!!!!!

20 or 18 weeks?

It has been 3 weeks and 3 days since Dia is fully on FM.. On some days I would catch her looking at my Bs and saying 'adik punya'.. I think she probably misses it so we try as much as possible to cuddle with her.. hehe Dia is now getting more chatty and it's kinda funny how sometimes we can have a full on conversation with her.. We'll try and take a video but conversation usually goes like this.

(dia picks up our phone and pretend she is calling someone)
M: Dia tepun siapa?
D: Yadu
M: Mana Yadu?
D: alan-alan
M: Jalan mana ia?
D: Adai tutong

oh and sometimes when she is busy playing a game on our phone or doing something and we ask her to put her stuff back or do som ething she will say 'Ajap ah'

HILARIOUS!

My dad loves having this type of conversation with her but gets tired once Dia asking 'ani apa' for everything.. hahaha

She also can count up to sepuluh although she has the tendency to skip number 2.. hmmmmm

I went for my ultrasound at the end of last year and what we found was that little bubba is 2 weeks less i.e according to my LMP, I am supposed to be 20 weeks along but my scan indicates that I am only 18 weeks along. Suspect that because I was still BFing, it made my period irregular.. Nonetheless we are happy that all is ok (alhamdulillah) and we will be able to see little bubba again on 27th.. Oh at my recent visit to the clinic, Drs and nurses tells me not to go on a diet and to make sure I eat eat eat cos baby bump is small-ish.. No problem on my side cause my appetite is BACK! hehe I now feel like eating almost everything.. hahaha

Oh on a good note, alhamdulillah, Anjai's uncle is now in JPMC (after insistence by one of his children to go to hospital) and seems to be recovering well. he now no longer feel dizzy and is able to talk normally.. a vast improvement compared to a week ago.. Alhamdulillah the prayers by all family members have been answered.

sleep deprived

I am severely sleep deprived at the moment.. As one of the side effects of our 2 weeks leave where we stayed up late and slept in during the day, I have been having trouble sleeping at night. And in addition to that Dia has also been having trouble sleeping where she would wake up around 3-4am and being restless so we have to coax her back to sleep. Last night was the worst so far..! It took Hubs and I 1 hr+ to coax her back to bed.. huhu

Last night we got news that one of Anjai's uncle was not feeling well so we decided to make the trip to Bebuloh for a visit. When we got there we saw quite a few of our relatives already visiting.. Spent about 2 hours and when we finally got home last night, I realised that I saw something quite amazing. Where Yuwa is the eldest in the family, we saw not only all his children, children in laws, grandkids, but also his and his wife's siblings coming to visit him. They drop by everyday and like my PIL, they actually came to visit in the afternoon sudah and they came lagi malam. We also learnt that the yuwa's siblings and in laws actually took turns looking after him and some even sleeping over at their place.. I guess for some people this would appear normal but looking at my own family I am not sure if they would make the same efforts. I guess the close-ness in that family has really brought them together and this my friends is the most amazing part for me.. It just comes to show that you never turn your back on family cause during times in need, they will always be there for us..


Ok I better get back to my work cause it seem to be increasing by the hour despite my trying to clear most of them out sudah.. huhu Have a great day everyone..

*Treat others like how you want to be treated*
