Countdown Starts

Usually every Tuesday, BabyCenter will diligently send information regarding your baby's progress. However, today was an exception. Hubby and I waited for any incoming email from BabyCenter but none came! You see, today is the day that our baby hits 36 WEEKS old! In less than a month, I'll be popping lil' one out!

PANIC BUTTON! I haven't prepared MOMMY'S CHECKLIST! As soon as I arrived home, the first thing that I bought online is TANAMERA postnatal care set at RM360. One item checked off the list! Phew. Okay, I need to google for other necessities as well. Keep watch of this post!

The Wanting & Waiting Game

Patience is a virtue

But really, it is not my forte

Waiting makes me anxious

Be it waiting for hubby to pick me up, or

Waiting to board on a plane, or

Waiting for job interview's result, or

Waiting to be wed the next day, or

Waiting for labour,  or

Waiting to be served food

You get my point

Want to know what magnifies anxiety?

Wanting something SOOOOO bad BUT you have to damn WAIT for it

Gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!

That is my case now

I lose my appetite

I woke up in the middle of the night

I can’t even concentrate on my work! 

My mind was elsewhere

I felt sick all the time 

And it’s only Day 1!

  I can’t handle the pressure!!

Lazy Sunday

Was lazing around while reorganizing old photos in the laptop. Gosh!

MUST LOSE MORE WEIGHT EVEN BEFORE PREGNANCY!

WARDROBE MAKEOVER! 

ADD MORE COLORS!

ENGAGE IN SKIN REGIME!

MUST NOT LOOK TIRED IN PHOTOS!

"Tired" written all over my face. and what is with the Hijab Style that doesnt't suit my face at all!

From top to toe, all is wrong!

Clearly I wasn't thinking straight back then. 

Oh yeah, I was having migrain at that time. No wonder! But still~~~

Together now, REPEAT:-

MUST LOSE MORE WEIGHT EVEN BEFORE PREGNANCY!

WARDROBE MAKEOVER! 

ADD MORE COLORS!

ENGAGE IN SKIN REGIME!

MUST NOT LOOK TIRED IN PHOTOS!

Checklist for Lil' One

As a first time Mama-To-Be, I am especially clueless in the preparation for my little one! I used to babysit my cousins back then, I thought that this time around, it would be easy peasy too! (Well, last time I was being their nanny, instead of their mother so no worries on the baby stuff department i.e. clothes, diapers, lotions, towels, the list goes on!)

I received lots of tips from other Mommies but there is one thing that I came to learn while being pregnant which is:-

As much as pregnancy differs from one person to another, your child might be too!

No matter what advice you'd be receiving from others, it is still up to you, to not accept the advice fully but exercise some caution to it. Do your own homework!

I managed to come up with a list of newborn's general preparation and care!

Baby Clothes

* Long sleeve/Short sleeve & Long pants - Nightwear, cotton, some perforated ones for warmer nights.

* Short sleeve & pants
* Rompers
- For morning wear, cotton, perforated ones too for better air circulation

* Decent outing wear!
* Mittens & Booties/Socks - Cotton, perforated
** Mittens are used to prevent baby from scratching themselves, no need of mittens if the baby's nail are kept short

* Baby binders
* Receiving blankets/Swaddle

Baby Bath
* Baby tub (Got mine from IKEA!)
* Towels
* Handkerchiefs
* Bath kit (Talc, Soap, Shampoo, Lotion) - I got myself a travel kit too, Anakku
* Yu Yee Oil
* Cotton buds and cotton balls
* Baby wipes - Pureen
* Rash cream (Am considering Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm, is it any good?)
* Diapers (Mamy Poko - Claimed to be good for night wear)
** I was thinking of using other brand for morning wear, is it advisable?) 

Baby Bedding
* Baby mattress complete with pillow and bolsters
* Cot sheet

Baby Travel (in the midst of getting!!)
* Diapers/Mummy bag (Carter's, droooooolssss~)
* Baby carrier (JumpSacBaby, double droooooolsssss~~)

I think that I am almost set! Now for Mama stuff! Heee~

My Humble Bump

Always The Drama Queen

Always The Gentle One

All the best sayangs!

One Too Many Times

It is Saturday night and I'm home watching The Pirates of The Caribbean Marathon on FOX. Hubby is fast asleep and yes, we have joined the smug-married-couples-club. While watching Channel 413, I was blog-hopping, wondering what did my favourite bloggers wrote in their first entry. 

This was not exactly my first time blogging. I've had my fair share of blogs. But I can't seem to keep up with them so i always end up deleting / ignoring / in some cases, forgotten my email password. Well, here is another try in blogging and hope that I manage to keep this one alive a little longer!

Some random facts about me (as of today).

1)  I am a regular of Gloria Jean's Coffee. But today, I tried Java Chip Frappucino's of Starbucks for the first time and I am officially has converted!

2) At this point of time, I am 33 weeks and 4 days pregnant :) A wife to a wonderful man for 7 months and 10 days. 

3) I think that I think too much, you think? (You wouldn't know as you don't know me)

4) Johnny Depp is awesome handsome, hey, it rhymes!

5) Gawdddd, I can't stop thinking of JAVA CHIP FRAP!
