30 weeks....10 more to go...

This is day number 210 and you're 30 weeks pregnant!You have 70 days or 10 weeks left, and are 75.0% of the way there.Baby's age since conception is 196 days or 28 weeks. You are due on 7/2/2008


Fetal Development
Your baby now weighs around 3 pounds and is about 17 inches from head to toe. An ultrasound image may show your baby yawning or even sucking its thumb, and you may also notice that your baby does not move at all during your Braxton Hicks contractions. This is because your muscles tighten and constrict his or her movement. By now your baby is probably more used to Braxton Hicks than you are.

Nice Things To Do for the Mom-to-Be
Your partner is working hard! She's growing a new life within her and paying the price in weight gain, swollen extremities, upset stomach, and fatigue.

Give her a foot massage and rub her back- zulffi always do this for me..hehehe
Cook her favorite meal - hmmm..tlg msk kira mskkan la..
Take her out to her favorite place to eat - yep..definitely...
Throw her a baby shower - buat kndri solat hajat kira ke?
Take her to a movie or rent her favorites and bring them home - takde wayang la kat KB..huhuhu
Take the kids out for a couple of hours so she can just relax - anak kucing adala..hahaha
Help her out around the house so she doesn't have much to do - yep..sblm ada baby lagi..sbb tu sayangggg sgt dia...
Take her away for the weekend or on vacation before the baby arrives (you might not be able to do this again for awhile) - planning to..but when ya....

alll in allll i soooooo in luv with my husband for all he did n does for me all this while we have been married...muahhhh...luv u sayang!!!!!!!

28 weeks and still going strong..

This is day number 202 and you're 28 weeks pregnant!You have 78 days or 11 weeks left, and are 72.1% of the way there.Baby's age since conception is 188 days or 26 weeks. You are due on 7/2/2008.

Your baby weighs approximately 2.4 pounds and is about 10 inches from crown to rump, or a little under 16 inches from head to toe. He or she has been gaining weight steadily during the past 27 weeks as its stem cells develop into organs, blood and immune systems, and bones. However, from this point forward, your baby's weight gain will be due to increasing amounts of body fat. A quick way to predict your baby's birth weight is to average your partner’s and your birth weights.

Most of what your baby does from now on concerns maturing in preparation for life outside of his watery world. Blood vessels are maturing in your baby’s lungs so that when he is born he is ready to take his first breath. Up to the minute he is born the placenta will provide him with the oxygen he needs, but after that he has to learn to use his lungs on his own. If you could see your baby this week you would see him go through a series of expressions including grimacing, frowning and what looks like a smile. Babies don’t learn to smile until they are around six weeks but often prior to six weeks their mouths curl in a certain way that makes them look like they are smiling.

Your stomach is probably feeling a bit squashed this week, so switch to eating small meals regularly rather than a big roast dinner, especially late at night so as not to keep your stomach digesting as you go to bed.

yesterday I woke up early in the morning when suddenly I had this painful leg cramp on my rite leg.It was so painful that I shouted for Zulffi to help me ease the pain. He was downstairs and he ran up to me. He then slowly massage the leg until the cramp vanished...so thankful that I had him with me..He was grinning at me..he thought I was going into labour as I was shouting for him quite loud..hehehe..well I thought he wouldnt hear me...hehehe..but the pain in the leg kept throbbing till today.. maybe I need to take more milk than the one Im taking now or more Calsium supplement besides the multivit n spirulina Im taking now..huhuhu

Yesterday was my ANC checkup..my current wt is 61kg.hmmmm..still rising but not that much..thank God...I had to have the Anti Tetanus Toxoid shot to prevent from "Kancing gigi"?
I was unable to lift up my left arms high n unable to sleep on my left side as usual...we had our scan yeterday..the baby is healthy n moving a lot..the heart beat is strong and the growth is normal..so all together is Alhamdulillah...we was unable to see the baby's sex..just to determine whether its a boy or girl but...its ok...maybe he was shy..heheheh..so watever it is, we accept it with our open heart n luv...

past few weeks, I had been cutting down my sugar intake as I usually had this cravings to take sweet stuff most of the time..I was afraid of GDM or my wt increasing tooo much....so Im taking it slow...although I still crave for sweet stuff, I only try to take sum everyday..n more plain water. I can't take much foods nowadays..I would be fulled easily and started to have this shortness of breath esp during after meal..so now I try to reduce my rice portion to maybe 1 1/2 scoop per meal, esp dinner..as it makes me feels like throwing up or regurge when I had my Mgrib prayer esp when I 'Sujud"..the foods feels like coming out again...I cant have long sujud esp after dinner.. even if I read Quran after mgrb, it will make me gasping for breath to reach the Harakat of the tajwid...as my baby is growing bigger n bigger, so is my stomach...


now I can't even wear sum of my baju kurung as it proves to be tighter esp in the waist...thank God I had make sum new ones esp for prgnancy n bought sum pants n blouses..heheh...

Lately it was soooooo HOT...with my current hypermetabolic system n rising hormones makes me sweat easily...the weather is so hot lately and it doesnt help with my condition...usually I had to take 5 times bath from evening til bedtime.one in the evening, one before and after Mgrb, one before and after Isyak...and sumtimes one before bedtime....hehehe..Thank God the water supply at home is free..heheh..

all that is happening to me is a new experience..to me n zulffi...I never know that it takes so much to be prgnnt...I usually feels like freaking out when I look in the mirror n see my body growing n enhancing here n there...hmm..would I get my shape again???hmmmm...well, i vow to myself Im going to Yoga class after delivery...we'll see whether Im going or not..hahahahah..

shopping for mummy n baby

last week when I went back to Penang, I went to see Miza's, Huda's baby...I went to see Huda's baby with Zulffi...he said he was quite excited afterwards esp when the baby opened her eyes,n look at him..he just couldnt wait for our baby to come soon....afterwards we went to Kamdar as I want to find sum maternity pants n blouse as I REALLY, REALLY need it..after browsing arround well, got a afew pants n blouse..I dont really fancy buying maternity gown..it's not like I dont want to, but it just does not interest me..I think prgnnt lady wearing a gown looks fat n huge n they seems to be waddling more..n the material of the gown sumtimes is so thin n transparent..so i dont really fancy seeing me in that condition..at least when I am wearing blouse n pant or baju kurung I dont look so huge..haha...I Think....

afterwards we went shopping for baby's clothes..well we bought some clothes but other things we decide to buy in KB..no need to buy in Penang when the price is the same or more expensive than in KB...but what Im trying to say is, both of us was sooooooo excited choosing the clothes n tying to find the style that suite both of us interest..I prefer colourful clothes, with cartoons or patterns.but Zulffi like plain one, or white ones..so we decide on both...the pants is colourful, but the top is white with sum small cartoons...and when I packed the clothes into my bag, n still now when I saw the clothes it just makes me feel that I cant wait to hold my bby in my arms..so is zulffi....I just cant believe it Im gonna be a mummy in few more weeks....huhuhuh...

last week I went to Billion n I already find this mosquito net n one travelling bag for the baby which has POOH n its in BLUE....!!!!!!!!!!..hahahaha....Im buying that one later on.....thank God I went to Billion...I only want most of the things in blue or have POOH..hahaha..POOH fanatics...heheh..hmmm...bila nak g shopping lagi eh.....this weeknd???hmmppphhhh

week 27: my active baby

This is day number 195 and you're 27 weeks pregnant!You have 85 days or 12 weeks left, and are 69.6% of the way there.Baby's age since conception is 181 days or 25 weeks. You are due on 7/2/2008.


Fetal Development
Your baby weighs approximately 2 pounds and measures about 9.6 inches from crown to rump. His or her facial features are almost fully developed and synchronizing enough that he or she may make faces that are visible on an ultrasound. Your baby’s skin is becoming thicker and fleshier and increasingly wrinkled, thanks to the amniotic fluid. The skin will remain wrinkled for the first month or so after birth – just think about how your hands or feet look after you have been in the water for just 30 minutes! During this week, the brain continues its rapid growth, and the lungs continue to develop.


I find sumtg about my baby the past few weeks..usually my baby is very active..day or nite..sumtimes I can only feel he moves in the morning only or at nite..but when, I went back to Mama's house or to penang like last week, he was quite passive..I cant feel him kicking or moving that much..so i was unable to let Harith feels the baby moving inside of me...I do wonder why..is it because I was so exhausted most of the days n did not have enuf rest or he's shy??heheheh... N my bby tend to listen to what was told to him..as example, sumtimes the bby keep on kicking so much that makes me feels uncomfortable n sort of "geli"...zulffi would talk to him n asked him to go to sleep or slow down as mummy is tired or sumtg...then u would feel him just stop kicking or moving so much..sumtimes Zulffi says salam to him in the morning when he havent wake up yet from his sleep, then suddenly I can feel the baby kicking n moving like telling me he is awake n ready to face the world...maybe the baby does listen to the words I said/told him..hehehe..or as Hajra maybe the baby dont like to be told what to do..merajuk sng kata..hehehe..mgkin kot..yesterday when the baby was kicking n moving so much, I called EL so she can feel the baby..she was excited n she said to the baby, to be a gud boy n dont kick mummy...the baby suddenly slow down the move..n when Hajra wants to feel the baby, she cant feel anytg as he had stopped moving..heheh..poor Hjra..nextime ya....

my baby, my love...

last week Zulffi n I went to scan at Dr hafidzah clinic...although we had to wait for nearly one hour dt the long list of awaiting pt despite we had called earlier to scan the baby...it was worth the wait...hehe..we had our scan n could actually see the baby huge head, heart beating so strong inside me..then the Dr Hafidzah told us the gender of the baby...what a smile I saw on Zulffi's face..he was quite excited to hear the news..well, me tooo actually..i dont mind whether its a boy or girl as long as its healthy n come safely into the world to brighten our life..well, all I can say my instinct is quite correct as I had been leaning into finding one type of name since my early prgnnacy...but I cant keep feeling a bit that I wish it's a girl...hehe..the only reason is, I can buy pink clothes, put her in pretty frock n dress n cuddle her up..hehe..but doesnt ind boy or girl, its my baby...my love...my treasure...so say gudbye to pink dresses n flowery stuff then..hehehe...I cant wait to tell ummi when we goes back to Penang this Friday...but Lang n 'Ammar already knew..well they were hoping for a girl as we had lots of little boys n big boys in the maktok's family already n the last girls in the family is Alin..hehehe..so its quite nice to have another girl that everybody can dote onand pampered...but tough luck guys..next one...InsyAllah..hehehehe

the day before, we went to survey clothes n things for the baby so we can have some ideas n price to buy the baby's necessities in Penang...well, most of the thing I found cute n sweet that caught my eyes is the pink one..hahah..and of course all of Pooh's Collections..all the hats, booties, pants, tops, even the mosquito net is Pooh...my..my..my..what a delight....cant wait to start buying..Zulffi said its not suitable for a boy to where Pooh but nobody said it can't be done or its a rule that must be obeyed...I'll buy all Pooh's thing for the baby..hehehhe..Cant wait to go shopping this weekend...Im telling all my frens to buy only pooh thing for the baby..hahahaha.and the theme color is BLUE Everyone....not PINK!!!hehehe..

n talking about shopping, I need to get a maternity dress or pants n blouses...just to get everybody mind from asking "when are you going to wear maternity dress or when are changing your dress" hmpphh..quite bored to answer it actually...as long as I can still wear my baju kurung, then what is the use of buying clothes that I would only wear for a month or two...but seriously, I need to buy some new clothes as all my pants is too tight n some of my baju kurung is quite fitting esp the at the waist..hmmm..so we'll see if we can find sumtg in Penang that catch my eyes...hmm and not to forget to send my "kain" to the tailor to make sum new baju kurung in Penang...new clothes for the baby n mummy...=P

24 weeks n counting...

This is day number 174 and you're 24 weeks pregnant!You have 106 days or 15 weeks left, and are 62.1% of the way there.Baby's age since conception is 160 days or 22 weeks. Your baby weighs about 1.2 pounds and is about 8.4 inches from crown to rump. His or her lungs have started secreting surfactant, the substance that keeps the moist, interior surface of the lungs from sticking together; and he or she is practicing breathing. Your baby's eyes are also watching for light and its ears are listening to your heart beat and your stomach growl.

hmmm...sume changes that I have seen in my body..my wt as usual keep on increasing.my waistline getting wider, my clothes getting fitter n tighter.hmpppp...wat more should i say...today was my 6th mnth ANC...I was quite excited to see the dr as I was hoping to scan my baby but was quite disappointed when the dr said to wait till next mnth...zulffi had came just for the scan..i was so crushed then..i was hoping to see the baby...hnmmm..Im planning to have the baby scan at a private clinic..just for the sake of seeing the baby...I was hoping to be able to see the baby's gender..so maybe we can plan what color n clothes to buy for the baby..

today, my baby was quite active since early morning.n when the doctor checked for the heartbeat, the baby actually kicked me...i was laughing...naughty boy/girl...maybe he/she was responding to my sound or anxiousness..hehehe...i couldnt wait for the baby to come..our life would sure change...in lots of ways..but it will be more meaningful n brighter with zulffi n the baby...

zulffi n i had been planning what to buy for the baby when we goes back to penang next week..i am quite excited really...to be able to buy all sorts of things for the baby..hmmm..i want to buy pinky stuff but not all pink...but zulffi said better to be safe to buy other colors 1st...heheh..we had this list of things to buy..thank God for all the websites that supply the list n info actually...thank God we have this technology...hehehe....so far life had been serene...but I started to get this SOb each time I eat..i cant seems to be able to eat much...to finins the usual amunt of rice i ate would surely make me gasping afterwards..huhu..esp during dinner..i am not able to read the Quran after mgrib prayers without feeling like a fish out of the water..huhuhu..some of this changes really makes me wonder what ummi went tru during my prgnncy..huhu...insaf,insaf...

boy or girl???

huhu..so Im into more than half of the prgnncy...the baby is more active..kicking much harder n moving a lot whether day or nite..it doesnt really bothers me but just a comfort to me..the love for the unborn baby is growing as well as the love towards zulffi...I love it when he touch my tummy n say salam to the baby n talk to the baby...heheh..he's so cute n adorable that way..

zulffi started to find names for the baby..he said, Im into my 6th month but we still havent bought anytg or think about the name yet..well, I have sum that I want but doesnt really favour it..I really like the name Rifqi ZiQri...or Rifqah or Rifhan...also with Zafran, Zahran..sumtg unique n not common..but the choice of names had to be mutual as its our baby...last nite, zulffi say salam to the baby n call him Mohd Zahran Rifqi..suddenly the baby kick so hard, a few times...even I was shocked..heheh..maybe he really like the name or not..heheh..but until the next scan next week, we wouldnt decide on anytg yet..maybe its a boy or a girl..who knows..I tend to find boys names, but I often look at girls things or the color of pink...or cute little girl...hmmm...I do wonder what would it be...boy or girl.... but whether its boy or girl, I would always love him or she....hehehe...

so what do u think?wanna bet???hehehe

a new blessing...

today is mummy's birthday dear baby...mummy is already 26 yrs old n sooo ready to have u into my world...at 23yrs old, mummy own a car as my bday treat, at 24 yrs old, mummy belongs to daddy n preaparing to get married to him..at 25yrs old, mummy was already married to daddy n ready to build a family with him..n now, mummy is preparing to have you..

last nite, u were so active..kicking mummy so hard in mummy's tummy...it really is a joy to feel u moving n active inside...I really love feeling u kicking n moving..n when daddy had the chance to feel u moving, he would smile so wide with such joy in his eyes..n this morning, u woke me up so early kicking me actively..maybe its ur way of wishing me happy bday dear..heheh..tq so much dear...

today is my special day n i intend to be happy n enjoy the day...ur aunty Hajra already gave me a cute teddy bear that is sooo fluffy n cute early in the morning in cute black box with a pink reabon..heheh...=)tq dear..

hopefully today gonna turn out just fine for me...

27 more weeks to go n mummy is counting the day to hold u in my arms...so cannot waitttt...

23rd weeks n counting...

my tummy is getting bigger, n I tend to get easily tired esp if I didnt get enuff of my beauty sleep....8hours is usually is the min I should get...usually in the early of the week I tend to be more fresher even if I didnt get enuf sleep..but as the day goes by to the end of the week, I tend to be more easily tired...its like my bones n muscles has turned into marshmellow or sumtg...then I really2 wish to be able to sleep all morning or after subuh on wkned just to recover or let this tiredness goes away..sumtg that zulffi tend not to agree with me...its not that I really want to, but I really need this..being prgnnt makes me feel so tired all the time..esp when u are at work n u had to stand for a long time in ward, walk the distance to the ward 2,3 times a day, go home n cook dinner...n by the time everytg settles, its already 8plus...then u just have an hour or two to watch TV before u goes to bed....hmmm...tiring...

n then my feet tend to ache although zulffi said "no urat simpul" there..heheh...n I frequently have this back ache usually in the middle of the nite...sumtimes at 3am..then I wouldnt be able to sleep afterwards bcoz of the pain...huhuhu...last 2 weeks I just had to take the day off on Thursday so I would be able to sleep most of the morning due to the frequently insomnia at 3 am onwards..huhuh..it was so bad to the extend that I cannot fully function or think well enuff n with the students attachment, its just makes me grumpy n tired..huhu...

it really is an experience of a lifetime..I guess my body is preparing me for the future ahead when the baby come, when I had 2 wake up in the middle of the nite to feed the baby or change diaper, not getting enuf sleep when the baby is not feeling well, or just didnt want to sleep, or just want to play in the middle of the nite...I guess this is a training time for me I suppose..hehe....
can't wait for the baby to come...

besides all that, there is this the bright side that I really lurve..I have started feeling the baby kicking or moving in my tummy...its sorts of like a butterfly fluttering in ur stomach or sumtig small moving in my tummy...it really delights me..hahaha...n sumtimes the kick is quite strong that I can really feels it..when I'm stressed up or on a tension state, I can feel the baby is quite restless as well...last week when I wasn't able to sleep for the whole nite in KL, the baby was also actively kicking n moving...its like he's keeping his mummy company...heheh..tq dear...luv u for that...there's dis one time when I put the TV remote control on my tummy, the baby kick quite hard that makes the remote actually moved...heheh..what a strong kick u have my dear..learning taekwondo are u dear?hehehe....

cant wait for the nexy ANC apmnt to scan the baby..whether its a boy or girl....any guess???
