The crave was with a reason
The PMS was a sign
The late period I thought was like last month
But what do you know, it surely was a surprise….
You see, my second precious one is 12 now. Imagine, being pregnant again after 12 years! I am like a dummy all over again!
The kids were very ecstatic when they heard the news. The daughter has chosen a name if it was a girl. I secretly have chosen a name if it was a boy. The husband? He was so excited on the day that I did the 2nd pregnancy test, went to work and broadcasted to the entire office!
I am almost 6 weeks along. Changes in my body? Well…I think my PMS has gone away, sometimes moody but most times sleepy. I would sleep at every chance I get. Sleep during lunch time, nap 3x a day on weekends and bedtime is like 9pm for me.
My lower back is aching, can’t sit for too long. And I need to walk every 20 mins or I would fall asleep. I am tired all the time but not feeling hungry all the time yet. I don’t think I have gained any weight besides feeling bloated and seeing the boobs expanding (milk factory on the way!). I think I have even lost more weight past weeks as my regular pants are lose in the groin…like they aren’t mine.
It seems like I wouldn’t have to go too far from my diet. According to the pregnancy book that I bought (yes I am that pathetic…I need a book!), it is advisable to eat low sugar, low carb food and lots of salad. Sounds like me. BUT 4-5 servings of whole wheat bread or noodles…that’s kinda hard for me. I have to remind myself that I have to eat bread more than I did. I still have not exercised for a week, guilty! I don’t think I will till the next dr’s appointment which will be in 2 weeks. In the meantime, I am just enjoying the long long long walks during lunch…if I decided not to sleep instead!
My face looks tired all the time. Some co workers say that I always look tired (they don’t know that I am baking a bun) and I told them that I have not been feeling well lately.
12 years, that was a long time ago since I got pregnant. It was like starting all over again, but with 2 babysitters this time :)

Update : Same day, 2:30pm
Received the prenatal blood tests from the Dr. Not that I REALLY know how to read it well. But according to the blood level that I have and the scale given, all my levels in the blood are good. The HCG level is fine, as per how far along I am (meaning: the further along I am in the pregnancy, the higher the HCG level will be). Now I can sleep better...knowing that everything is fine, insyaAllah.
ps....don't you just love the beauty of sushi buffet???????????

i think a bit of bread and some warm milk ought to do the trick.
easy does it girl!
How exciting, how exciting! What a wonderful feeling it must be kan? Just make sure you have plenty of rest and plenty of healthy food! :D
*yup, i ahve lost about 5 lbs* but the tummy is starting to show buncitness...from the babat of the 2 ids i guess hahaha.
TWIN, i am trying to eat whole wheat bread. trying hard. but i choose cheese instead of milk...dont like milk!
MJ, will do my dear. as for u...kerja lebih giat lagi ok!
Congrates Ely!! Am happy for y'all and wish you well in your new journey and healthy too for both.. :)
you blog semua-semua heh ! when i finally get pregnant again, i can just print yr blog for references :)
suriyati, thank you so much...insyaAllah, the journey will be long but healthy.
ninuk...alamak, i jadi reference pulak? dont follow the unhealthy part ok hehehe.
Ely !
I am sooooo happy for you ! Congratulations !
Seronok you have two in house baby sitters already.
You take very good care of yourself okay !
Ely! Ely! I'm estatic too! Congratulations! So happy for you. You want to pinjam some books? (Yeah! I'm pathetic too. I've got several of them.) If you were here I'd lent them to you. I'm also hoping to bake bun No. 3 too but no news yet so far. ;)
Hi Ely,
I would recommend Miriam Stoppard's Guide to Pregnancy. Really the closest you can get to having an in-house gynae! So happy for ya gal! Have spread the news to my family! My mom sends her regards. My sis says it's gonna be a cut pan-Asian babe! 12 years.... that long huh? whatever it is, enjoy the baking process. Don't get burnt out though! Rest well, watch what you eat and for goodness sake, drink MILK. Cheese is processed so some nutrient composition would have changed although the calcium is still there. You have never liked milk have u?! Since we were kids, you would always push yours away!
Tahniah! Ely. Alhamdulillah. Penantian you betul2 membuahkan hasil. I have been reading your blog...senang dengan ketulusan you...take care and my prayers for your easy pregnancy.
ARH
ely, ely, ely...time to get pampered :)
MA, my kids have been great. kekadang kalau i rasa nak termuntah, the girl would panic and asks if i am ok. the son would help carry stuff for me. cant live w/o them! i will definitely take good care of myself.
MG, ooooooooooh so u trying to bake one too? try harder ok hehehehe. u know, in the US, the book 'What to expect when u're expecting' is a very popular one here....every pregnant woman's book!
cuzzin cayang! i really do not have to be in singapore to spread the good news eh hehehe. i think the baby might look jewish hehehe.
ARH, thank you for visiting my blog often. kita rasa sungguh berbesar hati tau! i am a very honest (sometimes too honest) blogger...no pretense in my blog. dtg lah selalu ok!
mama rock...pampered? hmmm, itu kain baju dan blik i masih kena kemas hehehe.
Congrats, Congrats!!! Best nye!!! My youngest pun 12 yearsl old this year. Syokkkkkknye!!
All the best, enjoy this pregnancy Ely, have a happy baby OK.
Ely,
I've got "What to Expect when you're expecting", "What to Expect the First Year" and "What to Expect the toddler years" LOL! Talk about kiasu eh?
Say, have you ever thot, that if it's a gal, you might want to name the baby after this dearest cousin of yours (what are dearest coz for, eh?). For one thing, my name starts with 'M' -- like Matin & Mastura ... & you'll be doing history a favour by putting my name back on the once-upon-a-time list of favourite names -- it is endangered now you know!!!
PS I wonder ... what's the baby of a Jawa + a Jew called???
kak ely,
read the happy news on rantauan. anyway would like to comment on your bloglah...
kak ely, inilah masa nak "bermanja" dgn cik abang seh...
haa jgn mengidam daging kijang sudah.. payah pulak mencari kat hutan..hahaha...
wah so happy to hear the good news...
kak ely..jangan makan raw fish plak! alah, u 12 tahun lupa takpe..i baru 2 tahun dah rasa cam kekok nih. yesterday went to visit a friend who just delivered, i just stared at the baby.. i really have to start all over. and yes, we all need books..hehe.. i have tons, and u lagi senang lah kat USA ada banyak buku :) so untung! all the best, jaga diri! congrats to your whole family. im sure he/she will be a lovely addition!
auntyN....ur daughter dah 12 tahun, tunggu aper lagi hehehe. insyaAllah, i hope for the baby to be one happy one too.
eerrr, MG, yes kiasu liao hehehe.
kak munah...errr, u are human number 6 wanting my baby to be named after them...so u have to take nombor ok. jew+jawa , in the US they call it JewRasian hahahaha.
iskandar, thank you so much bro. tgklah kau sekrang dah sebut daging kijang...u're putting ideas in my head! hehehehe.
MN, i know, i cant eat raw fish...tuh yang buat tak best pergi mkn sushi kan? kalau u nak buku yang tak jumpa kat sana let me know lah, i can send u some. being a mom over and over memang kekadang rasa mcm kita lost touch but trust me, it will come right back when the baby is born, trust me on this...mcm naik basikal.ps...itu baby tunggu berapa lama lagi dah?
Congratulations, "Kak" Ely! :) Such a difference from a story told to me by a girl I know, whose friend found out she was pregnant. The friend cried for two weeks straight! So, it's nice to see someone so overjoyed with having a baby.
hello dearest blogreader! hmmm...i remember my closest gf cried when she came back from the gynae...cos she was having twins! she did not know what to do...well, i might cry if i find out i am having twins...wouldnt know what to do!
ELy...
