random ramblings

confession
i've been drinking coffee. not much though, just like one mug a week. hope it doesnt come back to bite me in the ass when blub comes though.

grills
we're gonna get our grills installed soon --i will feel caged but safe.

my dad: who's gonna climb up 16 floors to break into your home?
me: i'm not worried about people coming in. i'm worried about people jumping out.

water
ok, ok... i'm drinking ok. so swim around blub, go ahead.

weight
at the last check-up i was 53.5kg. blub was 780grams. so actually i was only 52.72kg lah hehe... from this theres the boobs, uterus, placenta, blood, fluid, amniotic fluid & maternal fat stores & nutrients. just trying to make myself feel better here. so far i've put on 8.5kg from my pre-pregnancy weight. although i'm not fat, it still takes a lot of getting used to.

aches & pains
the back aches are now joined by the leg aches & feet aches. the husband's massage skills are not all that. he says its cos i'm not supposed to be massaged anyways. elehh... just foot rubs ma... i betcha hes just lazy. last week i got leg cramps for 2 nights. my immediate reaction is to start hitting the husband & shouting "i got cramps!! i got cramps!!" & his reaction is usually to jump out of bed & start flexing my legs while telling me not to tense my muscles. lucky for me, they dont last for very long. painful lah.

emotions
generally ok. but the other day, when the husband said i needed to add more spice to my cooking, i cried. by myself. while hiding in a corner in the kitchen. bodos tak? hehehe... & i wasnt even offended or anything. i dont even know why i cried. sobbed into a kitchen towel. so he got extra salt in his food at least hahaha... he felt so bad that he put two fingers at the side of my mouth to push them up into a smile. then, he stretched out on the floor in the kitchen with his head on my feet. while i was cooking. ni panggil "wife worship". muahahaha...

food
i gorged on mangoes last week. i seem to have a general craving for fruits (maybe cos the body temperature is up), iced milo, longans in a can, tosai & roti canai. wouldnt mind some japanese but gotta stay away from the sashimis.

fetal movements
the husband constantly asks me if i'm monitoring the blub's movements (as in writing it down in charts with the timing & all). i'm not really. been a bit busy at work so blub must be feeling a bit neglected. dont even have time to be doing what most pregnant moms do --rubbing the tummy. teruks lah i ni. sometimes though, when i'm just staring at this mound which is my tummy, the tummy jumps!! i mean it looks like it's jumping. kinda funny. other times, usually when i'm lying in bed, he'll be "scratching" on my side. well, it feels like scratching lah. reminds me of hamsters scrambling about in their home. then i'll just burst out laughing & the husband wonders if i've gone bonkers. suddenly laughing in the dark. muahaha...

clothes
honestly, my ONLY maternity wear are the maternity jeans i got last week. my idea of pregnany attire are XL-sized normal clothes. this is called, denial. since i'm now in my last trimester (time really flies hor), i'm thinking whether i should bother buying anymore. maybe just some tops lah. & some shoes. oh yes & the coming-home dress.

baby preparations
nuh-uh... i havent done any shopping. although i made a date with the husband to go shopping 2 saturdays from now. dont even know what to buy lah. plus i'm physically lazy to go walking about too much. i shall come up with a list. does anyone know where i can get a good rocking chair? oh yes, & we've got out babysitter matter sorted out. blub will be at home for his first 3 months with the maternal grandma. for his next 7-8 months he'll be at the paternal grandma's. we're paying the MIL's maid a little extra to take care of blub till he's old enough to go to a babysitter. in between the 7-8 months, he'll stay home if my parents come over for a visit.

ok lah thats all the ramblings i've got in my for now.
