Bicycle

One woman down people cause I am sick to the bone! I was on Medical leave yesterday but decided to go to work today.. Lets hope I survive the whole day..

Here are some photos of Dia taken by the hubs while I was resting on Monday afetrnoon.

She was playing with Kaka Caca's bicycle

I think this is when her Daddy asked her to come down from the bike cause its too big for her

When she gives you that smile how can you say no?

'Whaaaa'

mcm si banar..!

Stocking up

Great news I got from a Pediasure hunting friend this morning, Pediasure is back in town!! hehehe Here is how our stock of Dia's FM so far (6 x 1.8kg).. Considering Dia takes 2 cans of 1.8kg per month I think we can now rest easy.. Oh we checked the cans that we bought in Miri against the one we bought in Brunei and it's all from the same manufacturer.. Phew!!

Speaking of stock I finally took out Dia's old clothes that can be shared between Dia and Adek.. Was getting teary eyed when I saw how tiny they were.. LOL

I have yet to go out an buy LB's first outfit.. Huhu according to TC when I panic I become pengusut so yes I think this is the pengusut part.. Huhu

Here are some photos taken over the weekend..

My lady bug & I


We went over to Anjai's uncle's place sat night to attend the termaruk ritual but LM fell asleep right before the ritual started.. Huhuhu



Dia playing with her Yadu this morning..

Gummy bear

Someone is hooked on watching gummy bear commercial on you tube..!! LOL

















I just realized that i have less than 9 weeks to EDD and less than 7 weeks to the start of my maternity leave.. Panic is starting to sink in!! HOHO

Kaka Big Girl

Dia hugged and kiss my belly yesterday and I asked her siapa Nama Kaka.. Her reply was 'Kaka Big Girl' LOL


I finally found time to look through Dia's baby clothes and I was getting teary looking at how tiny her clothes were.. Big girl jua banar!! Hahaha


This would definitely be something that both Kaka and Adik share.. Loved the design and still love it.. Hehehe

I am now 31 weeks along and i was reminded by one of my male colleagues that I only have 9 weeks to go.. *yikes* And i have yet to prepare anything *double yikes*

30 weeks along

LB is now 30 weeks along which means we have less than 10 weeks left to prepare for LB's arrival. That is of course if I deliver at 40 weeks.. I made a promise last week that I will look into Dia's old items but given the events last week, I decided to have a lazy Sunday yesterday and will do it this weekend instead..

I have started to think about what items to pack and I shouldn't have taken my Mummy and Baby's hospital list cause I now have to do my research all over again.. grrrr! Here is my first draft of items to pack:

For Mummy:
- Change of clothes (for going home)
- Nursing Bra
- Breast Pad
- Disposable Undies
- Pads
- Toiletries
- Bath towels

For Baby:
- Baby's first outfit (Like what I did for Dia I placed aside her first outfit which I intend to keep as a memorabilia)
- Sleepsuits
- Receiving blanket
- Mittens and booties
- Hat
- Swaddling blanket
- Towel and small face towel
- Bath essentials (bath foam, minyak kayu putih, lotion, cotton wools)
- Baby wipes
- Diapers
- Pillow
- Air zam-zam & honey

When I had Dia, my BM did not arrive until the third day so we decided to give her some FM. Given that history, should I pack some FM and bottles? I am hoping and praying that this time my BM will arrive as soon as LB arrives so I think I should just prepare a 'bottle bag' and place it in the car so we can easily grab it if the same scenario happens again.. So inside the bottle bag will be Formula Milk, Baby's bottle and Thermos.

~d~: Hiii...! my SIL cooked some spaghetti a couple of days ago and turns out LM ate the sausages sja, not the pasta.. LOL we'll try again and thanks for teh tip *hugs*

Guest: Hi.. Thanks for the tip on buying FM outside Brunei and we shall keep it in mind..

Mrs Emzee: Hii.. thanks for dropping by... I might not be the best person to write a review on Medela FS cause it is so far the only Breastpump I used (same like u dulu, I invested it in straight away) but I so have have no complaints and love it. It is light so I can bring it to work everyday and for travel, It is double pump and electric so I actually save time as opposed to pakai single pump and it is tahan.. I have used mine for 18 months and intend to use for my 2nd baby. The only thing is that in Brunei, the only shop that sells it is (as far as I am aware) Mothercare and it retails for 1K+. I would suggest you buy online lah and you will save significantly.. I was very lucky cause a friend of mine helped me out.. oh and replacement parts jua you have to buy overseas but other than that i love love LOVE the FS and I think it is one of my best investment so far.. Inda menyasal membali hehe

29 March 2011..

..is another date that I think I will remember for the rest of my life.. That day is when Anjai had a near miss. While on his morning jog at the beach with his colleagues he experienced a minor heart attack.. His colleagues took him to A&E Tutong hospital and soon after called me.. I arrived at approximately 10am and was informed that they had several tests done on him; blood test, EKG, x-ray, etc and results so far were normal however Hubs still had some pain in his chest. Dr decided to admit him for observation at the ward and keep on with the tests..

He had his 2nd blood test at 1.30pm and when the results came out at 3pm it indicates that there is some damage in his heart.. Dr told us that he is tansferring Anjai to JPMC but was being vague re what happened but I can see/feel the sense of urgency in his action. He pulled me aside and told me re the results of his blood test and when I saw Anjai next he asked me what was wrong and told him seems like blood test is indicating some irregularities so they are just bringing him to JPMC to check as a precaution..

Off he went in the ambulance and I chose to drive.. As soon as we arrived, Anjai was rushed into the operating theater and the Dr told me that they are going to insert a tube an inject a dye in order to find out what is wrong. I was rushed out of the OT and was left alone standing in the corridor trying to digest what is going on. After about 20mins, one of the nurse brought me back into the OT and the Dr then explained to me that they saw in total 3 blockages in Anjai's artery.. He then told me that he will perform Angioplasty where he will balloon the artery and it was to be done NOW. I was then rushed out of OT into the lonely corridor again..

At this point I reached my maximum limit and broke down.. A million and one things went in my head..! I did not understand what the dr so to comfort myself I researched online. Read that the risks are very low..

After about another 40mins, the nurse came out and I was again brought into the OT. Dr told me procedure went well and showed the before and after scan of Anjai's artery.. When I saw him he looked tired and smiled at me. I of course had blotchy, red nose and red eyes! LOL

He was then moved into the ICU and by Wednesday night he was moved to the normal wards and was discharged this afternoon..

So what next? We will now have to change our lifestyle, change our diet and Anjai will have to quit smoking..

We feel uber blessed and I am personally thankful that he is given another chance cause if this did not happen and we did not find out about the blockage he might not be with us today.. This is also a wake up call for us to try and live a better and healthier life.. Syukur alhamdulillah.. The way i see it, the heart attack is another blessing in disguise..

To family and friends, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.. We really appreciate it..
