A Mother’s Monologue

I just realised that my last chance of taking any pregnant photos will have to be done within the next fortnight or before! Oh gosh! The very same thing happened with Tee, the dream of getting some beautiful professional photos documented somehow never materialised.
I’ve decided that this weekend, we shall get all dressed up and [...]

I have been advised to be on bed rest today till the baby comes out. Can you visualise how long my face is right now?
Because I am diabetic, the baby’s developmental age is plus minus 2 weeks LESS than my actual pregnancy, yet she is plus minus 2 weeks LARGER than my actual pregnancy age. [...]

Only the left cheek though today……
Yesterday, I drove myself again to the hospital to get my second jab but not without first making a pit stop at TMC where they treated me like ROYALTY. They brought out the stool, chose the most wonderful packet of durian for me and offered me gloves, tissues and gave [...]

Following on from the period like cramps and ‘rainbow’ discharge, I called my Doctor after breakfast this morning whilst I was on my computer to inform her of my state of affairs. She was too busy with patients to come to the phone but the nurse got my message through and then ordered me to [...]

I stayed in [...]

They feel just like period cramps – tres horribles……a dull uncomfortable backache with lower abdominal discomfort and intermittent pain spasms off and on, without any regularity. I suppose this is what they call Braxton Hicks contractions. I never had them with Tee at all (who refused to come out until she was forced to be [...]

Did I tell you how forgetful and clumsy I am in this pregnancy? I am now 8 months pregnant and things are getting worse by the micro-millisecond. Yesterday, I deleted every single gmail email I had in my inbox. Every single one of them. Whoosh! They were all gone. I hadn’t even finished opening up [...]

Last night, I begged the Hubs to give me an oil rub as I was so stressed from the lack of sleep. The Hubs, the love of my life, obliged. Well, under duress, as I had threatened to hump him had he hesitated for a second. And believe me, it is no fun being humped [...]

This place is always busy. Always!!! Located beside AmBank on Jalan Telawi Tiga, this famous banana leaf place was recently featured on NTV7 and I’ve always had a good relationship with it. The food is good enough and service is friendly. What more, it is located nearby in Bangsar.
Unfortunately, they did not have any nasi [...]
