Mamafai's Daily Dose

The Proud Mama

I'm a 35 year old woman brought into this world on February 23rd 1971 and married to the same man for 13 years, mother to 2 hilarious, extremely handsome boys and one beautiful baby boy, who was totally NOT planned, but who turned out to be the Joy of our lives, loves to drink ice tea and hot chocolate from Starbucks. There is more to me than just being a mother, I just don't remember any of it.

..: Santai Bersama Hazami :..

lIt was a great honour when I was asked to bake for Hazami's Birthday Cupcakes... :)

It was weeks that I had to think of what I should do for the Birthday Cake. Nervous, anxious, kanciong..all the mixed feelings I had. But Alhamdullilah it turned out well. Everyone likes the cake and most importantly the Birthday Boy himself!

On top of that it was a great exposure for Perfect Frosting ! . It was nice to have been invited by the event organizer and be there with the people I love - dh, niece and my very good fren! Who could have asked for more??? It was a great event and a memorable closure for my cupcakes before I go for my short break...

On top of that I had a great time spent with the family and her. Lots of catching up for the lost times! We haven't met for awhile but we never failed to enjoy ourselves whenever we meet up! Thanks fren :) !

..: Baby is due in 31 Days! :..

Okay, I think I'm getting a bit nervous as labor looms near. It seems most nights I toss & turn wondering when actually I'll go into labor. My mind starts racing. Will the baby come early? Will the pain be more than I can handle previously? Will I have a safe birth? Will my labor drag on for hours? Will I need epidural this time? Will I be prepared? I haven't been sleeping very well, as you can see!

My next doctor's appointment will be this Thursday. My feet are puffy & swollen, so I've been trying to put my feet up whenever I can. Baby is still squirming & wiggling... I haven't had much energy the past few days, so I'm not getting much done around the house myself. I still have a list of to-dos to get done before baby arrives. I think my next project will be packing my hospital bag. Will assign some tasks to the maid...

..: Life at week 34 :..

Baby has dropped I think. The head is low in my tummy, the back on my left side and the feet deeply entrenched into my right ribcage. Life at 34weeks is not very much fun, it's nearly impossible to get out of the bed, off the couch, and my tummy is so big that I am constantly bumping into people and apologizing for it. I've also noticed my new tendancy to waddle and I don't move very quickly.

I've realized lately that my stomach has suddenly expanded beyond my wildest imagination. I am exhausted. With the baby getting bigger and bigger, sleep has become more of a challenge than anything else.

My ankles are swollen and I feel like a big, fat cow. I'm also very moody!

Again, I'm sure I'm gonna be fine. That I'm just bloated and hormones are just kicking in and making things a little rougher right now.

...: OUCH! :..

It's really painful to walk today! Or even stand up for that matter. I've got a terrible pain all around my pubic bone that doesn't go away after a few steps like the low back and hip pain does. It has me walking verrrrry slowly today and with even more of a waddle than normal.

When I came back from work today this evening was hellish. People were passing me left and right. The cleaner, who must have watched my long, arduous trek up from the car park, looked at me and said with alarm, "You're not gonna have that baby today are you?" I laughed and assured him I have another month to go. It's odd, though, I've had two other people ask me that today. Maybe they know something I don't! Ha ha!

..: Week 33 :..

I can't believe how fast the countdown is going! It seems like only yesterday I began these journals, and now they are almost over. These last few weeks will by far be the most draining (physically and emotionally). I am completely sharing everything inside of me with another human being.

Here's what I'm helping the baby do this week:Baby's appearance is changing rapidly during this week. Most of the wrinkles are disappearing from your baby's face, and there may be a lot of hair on her head. In fact, as the lanugo hair on her body begins to fall off, the hair on her head is growing even faster. By week 32, some babies already have a thick head of hair, while others have only a few strands. Baby is now about four pounds and about 15.5 inches long, an incredible increase of almost two pounds from last month. In other developmental news this week, baby will have completely formed fingernails and toenails. She will be able to turn her head from side to side. She has organs that continue to mature, and has sucking muscles that have matured, and will enable her to latch on and breastfeed once she arrives. (A good sucking pattern is also a sign of good brain and muscle development.) The baby will begin dreaming during sleep toward the end of the eighth month, according to brain scans. Due to her impressive brain development, her sleep will now include both REM and non-REM sleep stages. (REM stands for "rapid eye movement," the dreaming stage of sleep.)

I wonder if the baby's dreams have been as odd and vivid as mine have been. It's crazy to think about two different people in one body having two different dreams. What could the baby possibly have to dream about without having been in the world or seen anything yet?? ....Me????

I spent all day yesterday stuffing my face full of fruit tarts from Delifrance. It is evil incarnate. It has suppplanted all previous cravings...heheh

..: Closer and Closer :..

I had a slight panic moment last night. I was having sharp pains in my abdomen. It started when I was at Causeway Point and I started to cry a little bit. Dh made a call to the gynae and thank god there was no spotting/bleeding or leaking and it went off after a few hours.

With only about seven weeks until my due date, I'm trying to take care of all the little details. Yesterday I went through all of the baby clothes putting them in piles of different sizes to see what we have and what we may need. It looks like we need one more receiving blankets and pillow cases.

Dh is taking me shopping for some other things we still need on Saturday. That should be it until after the baby comes home. I've started to feel some weird movements and kicks in sensitive spots. Sometimes the baby gets me just right in the bladder or whatever else is down there. I really like watching the waves of little baby parts around my stomach. I'm not seeing any pointy parts yet, though.

Yep. Just seven weeks to go. I've been alternating between freaking out and getting excited. We're pretty much ready with everything but a few little things. I am preparing myself for - my target day to have everything completely ready. hehe... I'm going to be a mommy again for another little tiny human. :)
