This week is a bz week for me...Have been sleepin quite late almost everyday to finish up all d Wedding Gifts Decoration and Diaper Cake orders for dis weekend....5 Orders altogether....can u imagine how crazy dat is for me???All pics of d final products will be up soon wen d client hav collected their orders...On a diff note , i am pleased to receive d online purchase order which i made frm OLIVE PLANT CLOTHING...
My fav is d Cute Superbaby outfit on d top left...and i just cant wait to put it on BABY Q...I also ordered d BLUE KIMONO MICKEY ROMPER and the two CARTERS ROMPERS above...Really pleased w d quality of d products...and will definitely order more frm OLIVE PLANT...:-)Baby Q now have so much clothing after the BABY SHOWER last weekend...plus those that i have bought for him too...So i guess i better stop buying him clothes....Now that i am just abt a mth away frm my EDD...Its time to get all d essentials ready...In fact now all d FEEDING & BATHING essentials have been completed....Thanx to Ezan & Emilia for d foldable bath tub...
Now hubby is left w d bedding essentials....
And this is wat we already have in mind...Its a Graco Pack 'n Play Playard - RittenhouseThis stylish, cozy playard was uniquely designed with a stylish curved frame and beautiful detailing. I appreciate the convenient features that simplify daily baby care. A pivoting, right height changing table makes diapering less of a pain - literally! No hunching over to reach Baby, and thanks to the baby basics organizer, no need to scramble for supplies. Then there are all the comforts that make Baby's stay in this Pack 'n Play Playard oh so nice. The cozy, oval bassinet, cushioned with Graco's signature quilting, is leak-proof for cleaner, neater naps. The soothe 'n amuse machine pampers your baby with vibration in the mattress, calming nature sounds, classical music, and a nightlight. Designed to work beautifully, Baby Q will definite love being in it, hopefully...As my DAD have been grumbling abt us buying the baby pram , car seat , etc too early...(he is just being superstitious...cos its supposedly not auspicious)....Hubby will get d Graco Playard only after i have safely delivered to ease Dad's worries...I also have few other stuff to add to my wishlist which Hubby needs to get...and they are....
Tomee Tippee Hygiene Plus Nappy Disposal System & The Tommee Tippee Close to Nature Breast Pump...
In the meantime i just hav to look forward to every checkup sessions w my gynae which has become more frequent now...
The next one will be next Thurs evening and few more in subsequent weeks....
Cos i am due in abt 4 weeks or so...

Today is a special day for me...27 years ago....on d v same date was d day i had my FIRST CRY..This year is different n brings a diff meaning to me too...cos for d v first time...i felt so much more matured celebrating dis day which means adding a digit to my age cos i am carrying my unborn child in my tummy...Between 12 am till 2.35am dis morning...my hp kept on beeping w msgs frm frens and students wishing me HAPPY BDAY..I wonder if dis pple actually slept??haha...cos unlike previous years wen i will be waiting for d clock to strike 12....dis yr i was sleepin soundly...feelin so tired untill d bday wishes woke me up...Hubby was werking last nite...but at 1.30 he finally called to wish me Happy Bday and said dat he hav knocked off and makin his way home soon...and will be gettin me sumthin to eat....I answered d call still feeling groggy and went back to sleep..but at 2.30am , i was awaken by dis v painful cramp in my tummy...I guess i was having Braxton Hicks cramps again...d cramps come n go for a few times and became worse wen my baby started moving and i can actually c n feel d elbow moving...ouch...i was gritting my teeth controlling d pain..Just then , hubby came home and he helped me up to hav our supper together.Fortunately , the cramps wen away at abt 3.15 and i could actually start playing w my two cats DIOR n Kitty...And oh yeah...there was an amazing thing tat happened dis morning...my two cats can finally play together...in fact they even kissed...nose to nose...and dis time Kitty didnt try to attack DIOR...Hubby and i was so astonished looking at them both being ok w each other finally!!We played w d two cats...till 4am and decided to turn in...Now i am awake...got to start packing my stuff for d chalet and make my way to werk at1pm...Got a dance class to teach and meet Wir and run check in at Costa Sands...settle sum errands...and tonite is goin to be just me n my galfrens at d chalet...cos hubby will be working.Wir hav planned a bday bash cum baby shower for me tomoro...So i guess i am looking forward to c everyone who will be turning up tomoro..Tonite is just goin to be a simple get together for sum galfrens n we r goin to prepare for tomoro's party by doing d decorations , wrapping d gifts , etc...hahah goin to be so much fun i guess...!!Till thenAdios
I was advised by a fren not to be too close to my cat for d time being becos of my condition...
I appreciate d advice given and in fact this wasnt d first time i hrd abt pregnant moms having to avoid contact w cats or basically their pets...
Actually i have consulted my gynae abt this long time ago...and this was wat my gynae had to say...
" As long as i dun handle her litter and its not stray cats that i am touching and having close contact with...shud be pretty fine"
KITTY my cat hav her bath every week...and i never really hug and kiss her like hubby does...
I tried not to touch and play w her at all...but its really hard...cos she will be mewing constantly askin for attention till i touch her head/neck..d only part of her body that she is ok w...
As u can c she can sleep so soundly on my BED...and refused to budge even though i try to shoo her away....
All her fur will end up messing my quilt and its v frustrating cos i have to clean my quilt and mattress cover ALL D TIME!!
Lately she has been such an attention seeker....even wanting to lie inside BABY Q's bassinet which of cos is a total NO-NO!
Jop had to scold her n put d bassinet away and cover w plastic but Kitty will still sniff ard d bassinet wanting to go in...
Yesterday , after vacuuming , mopping d floor and changing d quilt cover...i just decided tat my room is NO ENTRY to KITTY at all!!
Cos its so tiring n frustrating having to clear all her fur all d time!!
She was so smart that she will wait outside and d moment i open d door she will try to run and make her way in !
Jop and i hav to be faster than her and it was kinda amusing for us to be like rushing frm her all d time...
This morning , i woke up and she was waiting for me outside...
I shut d door after me and KITTY followed me everywer i went...to d toilet...d kitchen ...everywer...just didnt wanna leave me out of sight...
So i sat at d sofa in d living room...and pat on d cushion beside me...
Obediently , she climbed and sat beside me quietly...
As i gently pat her head and rub her neck....i actually started TALKING and CONSOLING her...like as if i was conversing w a HUMAN!!
I told her nicely that Hubby and i still love her v much...but now dat i am having a baby...i have to stay away frm her for d time being...i cant really hug n kiss her like i used to...and i cant allow her to sleep in our room too!I also told Kitty that once BABY Q is born...he will be sleeping in d room w us...and KITTY definitely cant be in d room...so she got to start practising frm now...
Kitty looked up at me...den looked at my tummy and just remained quiet staring like as if she understood...
I noe it sounded stupid....but i really believe that the cat could sumhow understand...
She could hav sum intelligence n emotions too...she could hav been able to relate to wat i said to her just now...
Then dis time...wen i stood up and walked towards my room....she didnt run after me...
She just sat on d sofa...just staring at me walking away...and i saw d sadness in her eyes....
She then looked away...
I can't believe i can get so emotional n sappy w a cat at dis v moment...
But suddenly yeah....its really TRUE!!
I am missing her n sad that i hav to stay away frm her like dat..
I could only console myself that its for my baby's own gd...

At 31 weeks....
Dats how round i look....
Baby's movements gettin even more vigorous...dat at times , i had to hide my tummy w a bag or sumthing wen i get stares frm strangers looking at my tummy moving...
My cousin...Wun..finds it amusing...
It is indeed ...and i wonder how dis lil prince of mine is goin to amuse me more in future after birth...
Yesterday was even cuter wen he actually pushed or kicked his daddy hard enuff as i was lying down close to hubby..
Jop was so taken aback by d nudge he felt....as i was already so immuned to it...
Hahaha...serve DADDY right!!
I guess lil BABY Q is just askin for sum attention...
And of cos he did get sum attention frm others ....like AUNTY ELYN & UNCLE AYUN...
This couple was sweet enuff to grab sum stuff for my baby while there were out shopping last week...
Jop and i were so touched by their kindness n sweet gesture...cos the gifts really come so early...way before d baby shower...and they still promised for more to come!!Arrrghhh!!
And guess...wat...d MOMMY gets a gift too!!!
I got my way so advanced BDAY GIFT frm d couple too!!
A PURPLE Makeup /cosmetic bag frm JUICY COUTURE!!
How perfect!!
And i have been wanting to get dat particular stuff!!

Cudn't update much d past few days becos i hav been pretty bz w so many things to do...places to go...and things to settle...
By the time i reach home...i wud be too tired to update dis blog...
However now dat i am free n available at a v odd hour which is 6.34am which was shown on my watch....i decided to say sumthing....
My apologies to many frens n relatives if me n my family cudnt do much visiting for Hari Raya this year becos my close aunt who is my late mom's younger sister have been admitted to d hospital frm d 2nd day of Raya....
Therefore , me n my family have been going to SGH to n fro almost everyday together w our other relatives that we dun even hav time to do much Hari Raya visiting...
Yesterday at ard 8am i was awaken by a phonecall by my uncle..
As expected its regarding my aunt who was sick in d hospital..
He told me that my aunt was v critical and its best that i make my way to d hospital immediately but safely....
So i got up immediately and woke hubby up to quickly get ready ...
Fortunately we managed to be in d hospital and ICU ward on time to c my aunt still breathing and i was glad i could be der till she had her last breathe...
It was a hrtbreaking moment for all of us...d family members but glad at d same time that finally her sufferings have ended..
I guess its better that she go peacefully now as she have been on d life supporting system for d past week.
As my aunt's 'jenazah' can only be collected almost in d evening yesterday and brought home to hav proper funeral procedings...d burial can only be done today...which is later at ard 10am...
Hubby just came back frm his nite shift and i asked him to have a short nap...so dat we can make our way back to my aunt's pl in Telok Belangah by 8am..
Before i end this entry , i just wanna wish my condolences or perhaps better said as 'Salam Takziah' to my cousin Herni cos now she have lost both her MOM N DAD...
She just gave birth 2 mths ago...and still in a recovering stage...
So i hope she can be strong to go thru all this...
So i guess this year's Syawal has a different meaning to me n my family...cos this yr we just lost another of our beloved one....
I noe dis is Irony...but the pic above is a pic taken on Hari Raya many years ago wen my mom n her siblings were v young...
My mom is d first lady on d left top row...and my beloved aunt who just passed away is d lady beside her...

I requested for a scan to c d full image of d baby but d gynae had to break d images into 2 becos of insufficient space to accomodate d whole complete view of d baby unlike in d 4th or 5th mth of my pregnancy...
Thats a view of my baby's tummy or so called waistline...which sumhow looks quite cute to me..
Meanwhile...i just hav to be ready and mentally prepared ..
So dis is how i look now in my 35th week...
