slow but progressing..

2nd week in December and my mood is still up!! What I realized on Sunday is that our trip is 2 weeks away and I have yet to prepare anything..! Ok I know 2 weeks is still a long way to go but.. Its Dia's stuff that worries me.. so I have prepared my list to things to pack and Dia's is 3 times longer than mine..! hoho! Oh and with Dia on FM now I feel like I even have to bring more stuff..! huhu

Speaking of FM, Dia has been drinking FM over at the ILs.. (lucky I brought some!) Pasal siok kali ada dangan nya melimpang sambil nenen atu.. haha And last night while she was feeding on me, I asked her if she wanted bottle. She stopped and bawa her Daddy downstairs. When they were downstairs she looked for her FM and asked Daddy to make some.. She drank half of the bottle before she decided to stop and then ask for me.. hehe after 10 weeks, finally showing signs of progress... alhamdulillah.. hehehe

On the pregnancy front, I am 15 weeks along now.. Baby bump is beginning to show for those who have seen me before I was preggers.. but I guess for those who hasn't seen me in a while, sama masih lah.. (or pikir aku ada masalah perut buncit saja.. LOL). With the baby bump come the clothing issues.. huhu I now longer fit in my regular pants so had to resort to buying some maternity pants (previous maternity pants still too big for me).. huhu I have yet to bring out my Maternity box out of storage tho..

Oh I always friends that Pregnant People are Crazy.. Well I was uber hungry at 11pm last night and I actually ate rice at that ungodly hour! If that is not crazy then I don't know what is! LOL

So here are some pics taken over the weekend.. Saturday started with breakfast with the girls in town..

Kaka Ca, Kaka Moi and Dia.. Kaka Anis was still asleep and Abang Ijan inda mau ikut *boo*

At Salam Restaurant

A performance of the 'Butterfly song' while waiting for our turn at the bank

Headed to the ILs for a sleep over..

This pic was taken after Dia was done getting dressed and Alya was about to take her bath

The girls..!

Once Alya was done getting dressed with was reading time and both of them exchanged books

Dia asked to be placed in Alya's unggak and after 15mins I realised she fell asleep! LOL

Carried her to our bed and she didn't even bat her eyelids open.. Ngalih banar..

Woke up, had lunch and insist on feeding herself..

We then head out to BSB to shop for some errands and shop for the coming trip..

Daddy and Dia enjoying a cake

Daddy there's something in your teeth.. Here lemme get it for you.

Can't blame the daughter for be-ulah..! LOL (Hi syg :P)

something on my face?

Kawan!!

What my child lacks in size she makes up in her voice.. LOL

Here is a video taken last night. First part is when we told her we will not be friends with her if she is not a good girl and she insisted that we be her friends by saying (read: screaming) 'KAWAN'. And the second part demonstrates her.. pen-naya-ness! When I say no apparently it means yes and go ahead and do it again.. Grrr!

the otehr side of the fence

So we have been going to Kiulap and Gadong area for Lunch for the past couple of days and what i realised is that traffic in those areas are BAD!! especially in Kiulap.. I guess i just never realised how bad the traffic was because I used to be a 'resident' in Kiulap.. So lunch buddies, I now understand your frustrations for i am on your side now.. LOL

Oh I am sooo glad that December is here! Here is why i like December..
1. Time to reflect what has happened in the year (good and bad)..
2. Celebrate the good, learn from the bad
3. Gathering with friends and family are held more frequently
4. Christmas
5. With the new year it always brings hope that better things are coming my way..

Bye November, till we meet again..

Its the last day of Nov and I cannot wait for December to finally be here!! It has been a crazy year and I feel like it has zoomed passed me.. (i'll save the reflection post for until the end of the year.. LOL)

Speaking of December, our leave application has been signed and holiday plans are firming up. Although we have to make some changes and cut the trip shorter to accommodate for family gatherings, we remain optimistic that all will be great.. Just need to make sure we have the strength and energy to go through with it all tho.. haha

Random thought I had last night while I was changing Nadia.. "Does FM fed babies have smellier poo compared to BF babies?' cause I dont remember Dia's poo being THIS smelly wah dulu.. We now have to use double nappy bags or zip lock bags.. huhu Tweeted it and got mixed responses.. haha ok maybe its just me kali due to heighten sense of smell.. LOL

Baby Izz'Ilyas

Hello Everyone!! how was your weekend? Ours were a blast and I think it was especially enjoyable for me as I have concluded the last board meeting for 2010 last Thursday and i feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.. hehehe

Saturday was a roadtrip day for our little family. And it started with heading to KB to visit Baby Ilyas..

Nadia in the car..

We made a quick stop at RMS diner where I finally had some ribs..

Hello my name is Ilyas

Dia attempting to play with Ilyas

NERF!!!!! And it is as tall as Dia.

Big guy trying to shoot little girl??

Abang Danish teaching Dia how to use the gun effectively

when they got bored with guns, they started to play with gadgets. Uncle gbob on one wide with Mummy's iP4 and Abang Danish with Aunty Alai's iPad.

We finally headed to BSB and Little girl was asleep all the way from KB to BSB. Didnt even wake up when we went to Naafi.

Waiting for Daddy's hairdresser to be free

Finally a picture where all 3 of us are looking at the camera.. LOL

rituals

Alhamdulillah my Uncle and Aunty has safely arrived from performing Haj yesterday and the majlis berzikir is completed without a hitch.. Funny how I tease my cousins of crying at the airport when they were picking up their parents and when I greeted my Aunty and Uncle at thier home I cried too.. I guess tears of joy lah kali ah.. hehe

Dia has been developing some funny rituals lately where she would want to see a video on our phones before she goes to sleep.. It doesn't matter if its a barney video or a video of herself that we took.. On most occasions we notice that she is not even looking at the video and when we turn it off or move it away she would stop feeding and insist on watching the video.. Both Anjai & I finds that funny and odd! LOL

And Thanks everyone for your well wishes (here, on MSN, FB, Twitter).. Please pray that all will go well with the pregnancy and Little Bub will be sihat dan sempurna.. *amin* Insyallah will share Ultrasound pictures at the end of the year when we have one.. hehe

Oh i saw pics of when I was carrying Nadia and I hope I don't get THAT big! LOL

TC: I SOOOO want to go to Singapore..! (boleh ku ckp aku mengidam kah jua tu?? LOL) Hopefully sampai lah we re-live our Spore moments ah.. huhu

Adik

A couple of weeks back, to be specific when the hubs was in KK with his friends, I got a tad curious as to why my period was uber late again.. So peed on a stick and it showed2 blurry lines.. hmm While waiting for the hubs at the Airport I went off to the pharmacy and got a digital and supposedly better test kit and as soon as we got home, rushed to the Loo and peed on the stick.. It clearly showed 2 lines and it also said that I am 5 weeks along.. So imagine the hubs’s reaction when I presented him with the stick and said ‘happy birthday, here’s your birthday present, just what you wanted’ HEHE

I was happy to find that I am carrying baby no 2 but at the same time was a bit sad cause this would mean that I would have to wean Dia off and will not be able to reach the 2 year exclusive breastfeeding for Dia.. We immediately started to introduce FM to Dia and have to say I think introducing FM to Dia was even harder than BFing!! Huhu To date we still have yet fully succeeded in weaning Dia off BM and she still feeds from me when I am around.. Bless the child for still thinking Mummy’s BM is still best and preferring my Bs over the bottle.. hehe

So how far along am I now? 13 weeks!! *weeeeeee* I have been itching to write about the pregnancy but as a norm for us, we only tell people (other than close family and friends) once I reach my second trimester.. hehe

So first trimester has been… INTERESTING..!! I had the chicken pox, fever and also evening sickness.. I also experienced ‘baus’.. True to what my MIL said to me, each pregnancy is different… Although I seem to be getting my appetite back now but there is still some food that I prefer over the other like noodles over rice..

Both Anjai and I are very excited to welcome Little Bub into our family… hehe

Oh we also have been telling Dia about ‘Adik’ and everytime we ask her mana ‘Adik’ she will lift my shirt up, tap my tummy and say ‘ani nah Adik’..
