plans for munckin

Sunday afternoon. No outings. No good TV shows to watch. No hubby :(
So fine.. blogging it is!

Munckin & I have been "eating well" since we were at my mom's house. Thursday nite Mama cooked Ribs + Salad + Garlic Bread. Friday nite was Roast Chicken + salad + Garlic bread. Yesterday Aunty Mah invited us for a wonderful lunch at her crib. She cooked Mee Bandung, and Tuk cooked Nasi Goreng & Ayam masak rendang. Last night's dinner was Dim Sums + Pizza. Yummy treats for the both of us!

Aunty Mah handed over some bajus & things that were still "brand new" & some passed down from Baby Suri. And believe it or not, most of the items are BLUE!

We got tops, sleepwears, mittens, booties, baby hats..even some new born diapers! Aunty Mah claimed that she was in denial & bought blue things (although that time, she knew that Suri is a girl!). Oh well, if Munckin is a boy, it would be PERFECT! If it is a girl..then erm, girls can wear blue, right? ;)

Aunty Mah also advised me on several things to purchase before baby is born:- baby cot, baby playpen, sterilizer, bottles (preferably AVENT), Diaper table, etc. It was really useful tips! Now I need to sit down with Mr Bert & decide on things that we need to buy this year, and the things we need to buy next year (tunggu $$$ masuk!). Prioritizing is important.

But like Mama said, sometimes (if we're lucky), ppl will buy things for the baby. (ie: blankets, towels, BABY CLOTHES! :D )So bottom line, we need to spend wisely. As long as it is sufficient for our baby Munckin Insyallah..

Now to update about the mak buyung.. me!

Straiting from week 16 onwards, my feet has started to swollen! I couldn't fit into my normal shoes. So, I bought myself a pair of Crocs! (from the Pasar Malam..:P )

They were about size 10. So, it's more comfy..and as for the button things, I used to have 6 of them, 2 "went missing", so now left with 4. Will buy more to make my Crocs shoe more interesting. My kids LOVE it when they saw me wearing it in school. But at times, I do feel like a cartoon character when wearing these Crocs. (Somewhat like how Ronald McDonald would feel in his shoes!). I even wore this with my Jubah to Arfan's Aqiqah! hehe.. Will try to buy the slip on shoes, if they have BIGGER sizes!

Also now, when I go up the stairs, I will be out of breath once I reach the 1st floor. Seriously, it's only 1 flight of stairs, and it is as though I've run 10 minutes on the track mile. Gosh! Also, when I bend down, especially during prayer times (between rukuk to sujud), my knees became to hurt when it touches the floor. I think not long from now, I will need to sembahyang duduk on the chair. My walking speed is beginning to slow down too. I have to hold my tummy before sitting, shifting seats or moving somewhere.

And the best part, everywhere is expending....fingers, face, thighs, tummy (of course)..Now, I truly feel "fat". Even when I wear tudung, I need more "kain" to wrap the tudung around. Aiyaya.. and I am only soon-to-be 5 months preggie...still have 4 more months for the body to expand even more!

The things a pregnant woman have to go through.. But it is all worth it for the little one Insyallah. :)

ps: Mr Bert will be back tmrw! *yeay!Won't be husband-less anymore*
