RamblingMoo

Finally, after waiting for almost 3 years, we got our prayer answered and we are blessed with a little girl.

We are pleased to announce the new addition to the RamblingMoo clan, Ms Glennedine who was borne on the 2nd of December 2009 weighing 3.3kg.

I entered my 3rd trimester on the 2nd day of Hari Raya and before I knew it I am already 32 weeks along. Technically I have about 2 more months to go if Lil’ Bun decided to pop on EDD. Then again, we are still not sure if we need to induce her as we also hope to have a Horoscope Baby (I wanted her birth date to be 12-12-2009). So, we will see…

My next check up is due next week before my trip back to KL next Saturday. I have yet to see my ob/gyn in KL who will deliver Lil’ Bun as I missed him during my last trip back. I also did not tell my Penang’s ob/gyn that I won’t be delivering in Penang either as I am keeping the option open. There are quite a lot of things happening and we can’t seems to get the schedule set so will just see how things goes.

In fact I have been very lax in keeping my pregnancy journal as I was too tied up with Darrius’s kindy and our vacations last month. I still have not sorted out all the things which I need to bring to KL and there still stuff which we have wanted to buy but still has not been bought yet.

We are looking at getting another playpen instead of a cot to be placed in our room so I could leave Lil’ Bun in there while I do my chores. Can’t just leave her on the bed since Darrius is around. Why not a cot? Well, we felt that a playpen is more convenient (can be folded into very small and handy) as compared to a baby cot which we will definitely have problem storing or moving it to another place later… some of you may happened to know of our future plans… Actually we are contemplating of getting another stroller with a baby carrier too but decided to do a swap with my brother instead. I don’t want to have too many baby strollers at home as we are out of storage space!

Lil’ Bun has been doing well. She is one karate kid! Her moves are so ferocious that they jolted me out of my sleep each night! She is so much more active as compared to Darrius. She moves (endless twisting & turning) all the time and sometimes I felt so painful that I have to scream out to release my pain!

I think I have ballooned up quite a bit too. My home weighing scale read 65kg but I have a hunch I weight more than that. I can’t stop my craving for carbo food… I can’t live without my bread, noodles and rice! Though I eat a host of other food (in bigger quantity than usual) I still continue to have hunger pangs or my mouth just wants to munch on something!

When I delivered Darrius, I was only 66kg and Darrius was 3.45kg at birth. And now I still have 2 more months to go and I am already so much heavier… I just hope I don’t go beyond 70kg!

I have been very lax with this pregnancy. In fact, I am so lax that I hardly blog about Lil’ Bun’s growth progress. Initially I started a blog to document every bits of feelings and progress but it was left dormant when my morning sickness hit and there has been no updates since. Bad mommy!

Maybe this is not my first pregnancy so undeniably, I’m not overly excited like before. I think I am taking it easy this time. I must admit, I am not so ‘obedient’ this time too. Probably due to the different cravings as well as the situation I am in. Instead of having my mom around repriminding me most of the time for my first pregnancy, I am on my own this time together with PiggyBeng. Obviously, I did not get all the attention and of course, the pampers from mom’s cooking and I have been a little ‘devilish’ to indulge in all the forbidden food!

Besides munching on junk food like chips, chocolates and instant noodles more frequent than my first pregnancy, I had quite a lot of ’suan mei’ (preserved plums & pickles) which are deem unhealthy. However, I don’t have much of a choice as my morning sickness forced me to nibble on these to ease the funny taste at the back of my tongue. Mom has always adviced me not to take too much as the high acid content could harm my teeth.

Aside from that, I have cravings for frizzy drinks as well. As time passes, I yern for cordial drinks which has high sugar content! For the first time in my life, I bought a bottle of Sunquik! Don’t you think I’m spoiling myself and Lil’ Bun?

Now I am at my 25th week gestation but I have yet to visit the dentist. Guess I am taking things really easy hor? I just hope Lil’ Bun won’t develop sweet tooth or have rotten teeth due to her mommy’s bad habits!

Worst come to worst, we just go and have our teeth fix by a orange nj cosmetic dentist lor!

… the Little Princess is on her way!

Yes! We will have a little cowgirl joining the Moo-moo family!

I am now at my 20th week. We went for my monthly antenatal appointment yesterday and finally bug my gynae to let us know if we are going to have a boy or a girl. I told the gynae jokingly that it’s Mega Sale now and I need to start to do some shopping for the baby! What a lame excuse heh?

Anyway, I prayed real hard the night before to ask Lil’ Bun to be good and cooperate. Well, guess she heard mommy’s desperate plea and when the gynae did the scan, we can see the ‘golden triangle’ clearly.

Actually I have half expected it last month when we can’t see a thing. If it is a boy, the little birdie will definitely drop down and we will not miss it (that was what happened when I was having Darrius).

Well, now PiggyBeng is the happiest daddy as his wish to have a little girl came true. My MIL was on cloud nine… basically as she always prefers girls over boys. And of course my dad… he has been wishing for a grandaugther…

For me… well, I wanted another cowboy lar… coz that was what Darrius wanted so he can play his Thomas train with…

So, our coming trip to KL will be a shopping trip basically… to get all the pink stuff! *bleah~*

Finally!!!!!!!

Today marks the biggest milestone for me… after suffering horrible morning sickness for almost close to 18 weeks, I can say it has gone for good! Though I still have backache and stiff neck and insomnia but it is still better than those nauseating feelings that I have been having earlier.

During that 4.5 months, I think I have missed out on quite a lot of stuff but I am glad I am still in one piece and Lil’ Bun is doing fine. Son’t ask about Lil’ Bun’s gender yet as Lil’ Bun was not too cooperative during our last scan done earlier this month. Will have to wait for our next scan end of this month but then again… I shall keep it as a secret… hor?

Anyway, it is good to be back on the cyberspace again especially to all my blogs though I have been updating a little on FB during my MIA period. However, I guess my chances of making $$$ with these few blogs of mine will soon come to an end since I have neglected most of the advertisers…

Will update more about Darrius in the coming weeks… he has been very notti, notorious and mischievous but has been extra gentle with Lil’ Bun and showering some loves on his unborn sibling. Will see how he reacts when Lil’ Bun comes out…

Gosh! It has been more than a month I did my last post! Anyhow, thanks to all for still popping by to check on us. The last 2 months has been extremely tough for me to be online for long. I can hardly sit in front of the PC longer than 30 minutes. So, what I normally do is check my mails and read the news and I’ll be out till the next day. Unlike before where I can hang around practically the whole day! Funnily, I don’t have any withdrawal symptoms at all! hahaha

The only regrets are… I am no longer able to write reviews and thus, there’s totally ZERO income for me. I think most sites will ban me since I never log in for so long…. Hopefully my morning sickness is gone for good now since I don’t feel as nauseated as before.

Pregnancy Tickers
.
Today actually marks the 15th week of my pregnancy which is approximately 4 months in another week. My next check-up will be in 1.5 weeks time… which we are pretty excited about since we get to see another scan of Little Bun. The last scan we had was in mid of May so it has been quite a while… so you can imagine our excitement… since we can see Little Bun’s gender in the coming scan… if it cooperate lar! :PSo far I have not been doing much except watching TV since I feel nausea and giddy the entire day. I hardly cook as I can’t take on most of the odor within the kitchen especially odor emitted by my neighbour’s cooking. I will lock the kitchen door most of the time. Also, I am pretty sensitive to the dish washing liquid so I don’t do the dishes too and will let them pile up until PiggyBeng is home and do them for me.

PiggyBeng has been a Super Daddy and Supper Hubby for the past few months. Though he was tied up with lots of projects, he will still come home early to cook dinner for us… though nothing fancy (since his menu is pretty private limited) but we have no complains. He will bathe Darrius and prepared him for bed too. On weekends he will bring Darrius to the park to release his energy since the poor boy has to be cooped up in the house with me the entire week. On top of that, he will do the laundry and clean the house too. ok..ok.. I know, I am counting my blessings!!!! (he wanted this baby so much so these are the little sacrifices he needs to give out…. heheheheh)

There has been a few happenings during the time I MIA from my blogs and I hope I will be able to catch up soon especially on Darrius’s progress. He has indeed grew up so much these few months and I am feeling guilty for not charting his milestones for such a long time. Also, I want to share his views towards his new sibling… surprisingly he is taking it like a grown up… we are so proud of him.
