b3 b0rn.. c0nf0rm, b3 si|3nt .. di3

been remiss too in updating about kakak and adik.. so will do adik first.

he’s going to be 2 yrs and 5 mths come tomorrow… weight currently still hovering between 12 - 13 kgs.. even though he eats quite regularly and drinks milk voraciously. haven’t measured his height lately - but he’s tall enough to reach keyboards on the workstation @ home.. so will need to start moving those highly objectionable items from his reach.

as highlighted in an earlier post - he was hospitalised for the first time in his life on 19th june (for kakak, her first time was then too).. harrowing experience - from the diagnosis to waiting to be admitted to the ward to watching both having to be fixed with a drip and just pure dealing with two kids being unwell at the same time. the last time they did a duet like this was when both got the chicken pox - but that was nothing compared to last 2 weeks.

anyway, am just grateful that they’re fine now and the stay just reinforced my dislike for hospitals (is it a wonder that i’m usually itching to be discharged the day i delivered the both of them)

baby stats (see link for explanation on what those obgyn ultrasound medical terms mean..)

• Biparietal diameter (BPD): 40mm
• Femur length (FL): 26mm
• Abdominal circumference (AC): 132mm
• Average fetal size: 17W5D
• Fetal weight: 244g

Estimated Delivery Date: 4 Dec 09.. (before the scan, my GP estimated as on 5 Dec 09 - not bad aye for a GP?)

will post the ultrasound img once i get amir to scan it for me.. nyeh.

had also weighed myself in.. but of course, will not be sharing this with the world. enough to say that i will be very mindful of those late night hunger pangs from now on

i just noticed that it’s been more than a month since i posted an entry.

what has happened since the last update:

• work-wise: project had stalled for awhile due to some variation to the scope and needed to agree on the new scope. just finalised the details of the scope last week and in the midst of resubmitting. can’t wait to get raring.. i just can’t function well when things are uncertain - my mind turns into mush at work
• family-wise: my bro’s wedding reception, impromptu trip to penang, kakak’s birthday trip to genting, the faramir tioman vacation, a 2d1N-ter at gleaneagles intan, me being hit by the same bug as the two kids
• personal-wise: am now 17-weeks preggers, eating like there’s no tomorrow (esp. those nite time snacks), am also proud to say that i can manage to swim (like a dugong still, but swim nonetheless!!) after 4-odd classes and am now just focusing on perfecting the stroke - getting into the rhythm and not being to hung up on remembering instructions

will update further later.. wanna go and catch some snoozes.. got me a doc’s appointment for my 4th month of pregnancy. may even get a ultrasound image up.. though none of those 3D stuff for me - since i don’t go to a obgyn for my checkups.

yep. very de tiring.

will blog more about the trip to east coast later with photos - stayed at villa danialla. definitely not something i’d like to do on a regular basis..as per what amir advised my other brothers  ”nanti korang nye turn carik bakal bini yg duduk kat pj/kl dan yang sewaktu dengan nya..”. but still managed to squeeze in two kenduris in one day - which we haven’t achieved in actually doing in a longgg longg while.. so yeay us!

now am on a business trip down south.

got to reconnect with ex-colleagues @ senibong seafood village after landing on jb soil & settling in the hotel i’ve been put up at - finding our way there was interesting as you have 3 out-of-towners trying to navigate jb roads with just gps for reference.. but food was good apart from the extra sour tomyam / over garing super expensive garoupa (or is it grouper?)

just had ayam penyet dinner with my tag team here + her fiance @ benafe restaurant. different presentation from wong solo’s version but no less yummy. the fact that the portion is larger is definitely no biggie for this pregnant mama. jee even commented that i cleaned my plate better than them - they haven’t seen me back in my college days

.. and now am waiting for the chance to see a friend from uni days.

note:

and suddenly this weekend is full of things i wanna do

• just found out that oga day is this weekend - now if only i can get the visa
• old housemate from melbourne days is now in town (kl, i mean).. and i’d like to meet her with another old housemate who also lives in kl - shouldn’t be an issue with this visa
• there’s the next swimming lesson on sunday.. i just hope i haven’t forgotten how to breathe
• and finally, the long delayed session with ain - pre-approved visa

that’s actually more activities than my average weekend would look like! i’m on on a roll~!!

ohh.. and then there’s to hoping the kick-off goes well friday.

has come in early..

to those who work in the same company as me, don’t get overly excited or pissed. it’s not that bonus.. and seeing from the current climate - we’d be lucky if we get any this year.

i wrote an entry about this 2 yrs & 10 months back.. and would not have expected to be blogging on the same this soon. at least not until after 3 yrs.

but yeah, i’ve got confirmation that anaqi shall be unceremoniously bumped off his pedestal as the king of his grannies’ house by dec 2009. as per calculation of my last visitor, i may be 6 weeks along.

to recap the exchange between kakak and myself on the pending arrival:

me: so kakak, we’re gonna get a new baby!

kakak: hahhh??! a new baby?? (with a concerned look on her face)

me: why, what’s wrong with a new baby?

kakak: i don’t think we can take care of two babies. we already have one baby already - anaqi is still a baby lah.

me: it’s ok. you can take care of anaqi. i will take care of the new baby. how’s that?

kakak: ehh.. no!!! i can’t - i am also still small! … ma.. i don’t think we should have another baby.

apparently, this piece of news needs awhile to be absorbed and accepted by my nucleo family.
