so we’re home at last.. this morn when dr aziz came by to check on me, he mentioned abt discharging me tomorrow in time for raya. i countered whether there is any reason for me to not go home today, he said no.. so i requested to be discharged today.

dr iean then came by with the good news that the baby shows good vital signs and so far his bilirubin reading is ok (no jaundice signs) *fingers crossed*… and aryan is also discharged..

the trip home would’ve been uneventful if abang (anaqi) wasn’t cranky from being tired. when i entered the car at the hospital lobby – he was crying his heart out in the backseat. apparently, he passed the hospital’s gift shop and wanted to get a toy train set. i think he’s been eyeing that thing ever since i was admitted.

tried to calm him down but he wouldn’t settle.. then i noticed that the crying wasn’t due to the unfulfilled request any longer… he was now upset with me for not consoling him the way i usually do – which is to cuddle him. how could i? aryan was in my arms, snugly asleep.. after quite a prolonged crying session, abang finally relented to my verbal consolation and laid his head on my lap (which was free) and promptly dozed off..

this is definitely going to be an interesting few weeks at home…

more updates when i can squeeze em in.. sans photos of course, since i still haven’t fixed the plugin error (but there’s always facebook!)

yeah.. after going through it 2 times.. you would’ve thought one would know ehh??

oh well… just have to wait it out and see whether i feel any contractions after this… else, tomorrow you will see me at work..

one bummer thing abt being preggers is not being able to drug the hell out of your cold and flu.. due to possible ill effect to the lil one ur carrying.. so i’ve been nursing this cold on and off.. for nearly 2 weeks already..

but of course, it doesn’t help that there’s this quart of baskin robbins (peanut butter choc, maui choc brownie and almond praline) in the freezer screaming for me to sneak a quick spoon or two when the craving comes.. heyy.. i’d be swearing off these for at least 40 days once the baby comes.. so am thinking of all the things i would think i’d crave for during the confinement and will hv to cross them off the list over the next 2-3 weeks…

1. molten choc cake @ chilli’s

2. one last cuppa of jco’s iced choc

3. nachos wit generous topping of melted cheese and chili con carne… (am actually thinking of the one at parkroyal penang – but then that’s a bit stretching it eh..) ..

… to be updated laterz!… am causing my tummy to growl now, it’s past midnite and i have a doc’s appointment tomorrow. am sleeping off the craving!

continued:

4. teh c peng - i blogged abt the first time i tasted it in btu… then surprise surprise, the lunch venue i frequent (pakcik restaurant & cafe, kompleks antarabangsa) offers it as part of their menu… should make a trip there next week …

5. putu piring

6. putu mayam

and i am still stumped for a name.

kakak had a name chosen – when we were still assuming the baby would be a girl.

the last ultrasound – doc seemed quite confident that the next young’un would be a boy.. and we’ve been looking thru lists for good muslim male names – which also starts with ‘a’

suggestions are most welcome!!

now to go and snuggle with kakak and abang while i can still allocate one arm for each… ainul’s sharing of what transpires at bed time post arrival of aryssa … makes my heart break… now my main mission at home is to train either one to look for baba instead of mama for the night time cuddles.
