Can you see my ticker up there ^^^? The ladybird is going towards the end of the line! How am I feeling?
Hmmm, physically...heavy, uncomfortable, nauseaus at times and my rib cage is badly bruised. This little one is growing so fast and her kicks and punches have been so merciless. Sometimes her feet are way beyond my rib cage. The husband sometimes would watch my tummy ripple and then shakes violently, as if there's an alien in my tummy hehehe. It does get painful when she hits my bladder. Thanks for the maternity belt that I wear when I was working and when I go shopping, the belt helps lift the baby 2-3 inches above my bladder, she surely did not like it at first, kicking through the lower and upper belt but I guess she 'pasrah' after a few days. Thats my baby. So to expecting mothers, like what Nazrah says, 'GET THE MATERNITY BELT'...it really helps you balance and takes the weight of the baby off your pelvis when you're doing the most important task of being a woman...shopping!
This is my 3rd day of being a temporary 'stay at home wife/mom'. MAJOR NESTING happening here :
1st day : Did not sleep in at all! Excited to clean!
Gathered all the baby clothes, blankies and what nots, brought them down to the garage and got the waching machine going. 2 full loads, tonnes of clothes! Mas says that the baby's clothes are so small, like 50 pieces in 2 loads! Then we have the mama and papa laundry too.
In the meantime, I cleaned the bedroom, vacuumed, reorganized the baby's dresser, picked up the husband's socks and what nots on the floor, vacuumed and mopped the living room. By the time I was done, I was very tired but happy!
2nd day : Aaaah, get to sleep in, fed the cats before 7am, by the time I was ready to go back to bed, I had 4 cats in bed...how inviting!!! Slept for only an hour and the sun was up. I did not want to clean today, so I had decided to go out!
The husband did not bring his lunch today, so I decided to bring him curry chicken and rice and drove to his office. Of course, that was an excuse to go shopping after that!
Went to Anna's Linens and got some drapes. Funny...that was shopping time for retiree couples to go there and bicker over what color drapes they should get. I heard some couples speaking in Tagalog, Chinese and German. Got my stuff and then went to Babies R Us. Was there for only 15 minutes when the body signalled that I needed to go home and stop spending money! If you were walking next to me, you could be hearing me speaking to myself 'OK OK, I'll go back to the car now!'.
By the time I got home...the nesting frenzy was back on! Put the chicken into the oven, cleaned the counter, changed the dining table cover and then I got on the chair, got the drill, put the curtain rods on all by myself and hung the drapes in my room!
The husband said that I was crazy to have used the drill and hung the drapes, hey...I was happy.
Night time was not kind to me. The baby was moving so much, in between strong contractions. Yes, thought I was in labor. But the pattern stopped after 3 strong ones. Not yet I guess.
Back to the 3rd day today : What am I doing today? I am going to go back to sleep, wake up, clean and then pick Mas up after school to go to the mall. Thats my walk!
Tomorrow? I might drive to my nearby office to say hi to my co workers and send some Thank You cards via internal mail...save $$ on stamps heehehe.
Anytime now, anytime now...

ya rabbi 37 weeks dah??? aishah keluar at 34 weeks...if i had to wait that long i'd wheel myself to the hospital and get her sucked out. u must be feeling very uncomfortable. it won't be long now!
at this point dah boleh get ready dah ni...all the best sayang!!my doa for your speedy and fuss-free (and no extra charges for things you don't need, hospital ni bukan kau tak tau) delivery...
"like pop! gitu" hehehe
something tells me i am going to miss you even more...look who's jealous, needy and possessive...
Hi darling!
I pulak yang berdebar tunggu you beranak, hehehee.
Hang in there, won't be long now!
Love ya!
Hugs
sama macam kak nazrah, nurin keluar exactly 34 weeks, itu pun dah tak larat....heheh...salute la kak!
suriyati, sorry i had to repost ur comment cos i reposted my post twice! thank you for ur wish, i am sure i will have a smooth delivery, insyaAllah.
TWIN, 37 weeks is normal to me. all my kids were born at 38 weeks, tak pernah terover pulak. but maybe this one different genes, if she likes it in here, then she will hatch when shes ready!
ck...miss u dahling! hope u had a great time sampling the tarts with 'orang tuh' that day! hope u were thinking of me when u were doing that too! love ya too!
noha, i tak pernah beranak 34 weeks pulak. aper nak buat, budak nih belum nak keluar lagi!
take care and remind david to let us know the good news.
Elly,
Time sure flies. Still remember the day you called me to tell me that you were pregnant and now you are ready to burst!
I took off work from 36 weeks onwards and Sarah didn't come out until 2 days before my due date. But all I did before her delivery was SLEEP!! I could sleep 14 hours a day no problem.. plus with the huge belly, I stayed in bed and watch TV most of the time..No nesting feeling for me at that time.. It happened before that...
Enjoy your time Elly with yourself and David.. u will sure miss it when little Suraya comes out..
Iffa..:-)
thank you KT, tgh tunggu tiba masa saja. david will definitely update my blog when then baby's born.
iffa, now, i feel tired all the time. nak angkat kaki jalan kat grocery store pun very tired!
