almost there...

kurang 2 bulan 20 hari lagi...
ngga sabar nihhh...
bukannya mau complain soal kehamilan...tapi emang hamil itu nggak mudah sodara2...
no matter what there are changes in ur body...ur hormones especially..
and masuk bulan ke 7 ini..badan semakin berat , uda ga bisa jalan lama2... dan kadang susah tidur..
dan entah knp..mungkin krn flu kmrn...efeknya aku jd gak nafsu makan lg..duhhhh stress deh kalo soal makanan pas hamil...
padahal sbelom hamil oke2 aja tuh mau makan apa aja...kayaknya uda lama banget masa2 menikmati makanan dgn tenang...tanpa hrs memikirkan apa gizinya cukup ngga buat baby...
aku bener2 berharap stlh melahirkan , everything back to normal..esp my appetite..kan repot tinggal di sgp tp kalo gak doyan makanan sgp..

kata orang kalo pas hamil makannya rewel...ntar baby-nya juga susah makan..wadohhhh jangan sampe deh! tolakkk dlm nama Yesus..jgn sampe diimani begitu..bisa kewalahan aye..

latest news...
1. my baby list uda almost complete nih... udah beli Cot, mattrass, bedding set, changing table, bath tub, pigeon product, breastpump, pad, stroller, etc....
waaa spent alot in just few days...but still worth it krn belinya pas sale :)
cuma herannya uda spent alot tp masih ada aja yg belom kebeli...blm beli avent bottle warmer, thermometer, minyak telon, baby monitor etc....(hopefully ada yg ngasi ;) )
2. kepengen beli musical cot nih..itu loh mainan yg digantung di atas ranjang..nanti bisa muter2 n ada music-nya...trus pengen beli baby playgym/gym mat...kayak karpet gitu buat baby tiduran di lantai trus di atas karpetnya ada banyak mainan gantung...oh ya belom beli mainan utk di stroller ---> list2 berupa mainan ini jg berharap ada yg mau ngasi sbg kado hahaha...
3. hal penting lain yg belom beli adalah baju bayi! mungkin mau beli di indo..dan kata org pasti banyak yg ngasi kado baju..well hopefully dapet yg cute2...yg mothercare/Fox kids hihihihi...

4. yak..Nomer 4 adalah news yang paling penting.........aku dah decide bakal take care of my baby by myself..ngga pake suster or maid..wuiii tough decision..coz mikirinnya berbulan2...my reason is...because toh I'm a housewife..nothing much to do at home...my job is a seasonal project which starts in june-dec..but my busiest month usually around oct onwards...sooo i'm thinking ntar liat aja bulan2 sept/oct..kalo sekiranya aku kerepotan..baru deh employ maid..cuma sayang aja kalo employ maid dari bulan maret...wasting banget...
walau uda decide begitu..tp tetep perlu siapin mental bener2...wont be easy...but i know I can do it! (still shaking when thinking bout it!) .. I pray my baby ngga rewel...jd easy to handle... I pray God give me extra strength..esp bulan2 pertama...doain yahhhh....^^
skrg ini plan nya gituu...dan soal masak-memasak kyknya hrs catering deh..and bersih2 n setrika baju bisa hire part time maid kalo kewalahan...kedengerannya praktis and well planned ya? tapi tetep merasa serem...coz the time is near... jadi banyak worries...I also cant stop picturing myself bathing the baby...takut ngga bisa...takut pas nyabunin trus licin and kepleset gmn...huxxx takuttt...

pheww...i think next week aku dah hrs mulai beres2 kamar baby nih...mulai dari nata ruangan..cuci smua korden, cuci sprei baby..etc...

oh ya u know what....biasanya sebulan pertama setelah melahirkan, kita tuh ngga bole capek2 loh..hrs istirahat all the time...ngga bole keramas segala...pokoknya menghindari masuk angin..coz pada saat kita ngelahirin kan saking kuatnya hrs 'ngeden' itu pori2 bisa kebuka smua..makanya ga bole mandi jg mestinya...tp aku sih pasti bakal mandi lah..pake warm water aja...kalo keramas ya tahanin dulu seminggu lah at least...
sebulan pertama itu juga semestinya ada yg nemenin kita...ada yg bantu masak,bersih2 and take care of the baby supaya kita bisa banyak rest...
tadinya aku mau bawa susterku dari indo..2 bulan ke sgp...waduhh tapi denger kabar fiskal 2.5jt mulai bulan depan...kayaknya pikir2 lagi deh...soalnya bawa suster ke sini cm 2 bulan aja kok mahal banget...aku kan mesti bayarin pembuatan passport and tiketnya jg selaen dari gajinya itu sendiri...mahal bangettt...
my mom sih bakal dateng pas aku melahirkan nanti..tp dia kan jg kerja..prediksiku dia cm dateng 10-14 hari aja di sgp....waaa dear God, please please help me......
pokoknya minta bantuan doa ya teman2....maklum..first time mother to be...jadi nervous...!!!

FEVER!!!

oh noo...dari semalem I got fever and my body is aching..my throat was dry.. :(
I think krn kecapekan..lg banyak pikiran krn mau handover my homestay..byk yg mesti diurus..dan lg my hubby jg lg flu..so kyknya stamina jd turun dan lbh cepet tertular..

I was so worried...kalo suhu badanku panas..apa baby ngga kepanasan jg ya...krn semalem baby is kicking and moving alot...and then I'm not sure aku bisa minum obat apa...dulu sih pas awal2 hamil (tp blm confirm hamil) jg pernah fever, and aku minum panadol tp cm 1x doang sih..

trus yg tmbh bikin stress lg...hari ini tuh posting penerimaan anak2 sec 1..that means..aku hrs ngurus ini dan itu..hrs ke bukit timah serahin dokumen..dan sebenernya hari ini jg hrs ke queens buat bersih2 homestay..alot of things to do! tapi pas bangun pagi2..I knew kondisiku nggak memungkinkan untuk pergi2...
akhirnya..my super helpful hubby yang ngerjain semuanya...by himself! kasian jg sih..soalnya dia jg lg flu..dan ngeberesin homestay sendirian itu pasti cuapek dan lama...

dan siang tadi..for the 1st time slm aku hamil..aku ke dokter sendirian tanpa ditemenin suami..padahal biasanya dia gak pernah absen nganterin aku...
trus tadi kesel juga..krn pas aku nyampe clinic, ternyata uda rame banget, padahal aku cuma telat 15 menit...and my waiting time uda nyampe 45 menit...mana clinic-nya dingin buangett...
aku sampe ask favor ke nurse-nya apa aku bisa masuk duluan soalnya aku not feeling well...tp nurse-nya bilang ga bisa, hrs tunggu (huuu sebelll!)..dia cm bantu aku ngukur suhu badan..which is 37.5..dan dia pikir ga terlalu tinggi suhunya makanya disuruh tunggu...padahal aku dah kedinginan bgt and badanku sakit smua...
ternyata...nunggunya bukan 45 menit sodara2...uda sejam aku jg belom dipanggil masuk..and yg lbh parahnya lagi...ternyata I was the last patient! huxhux...

akhirnya ketemu dokter juga...dia bilang sih I'm having flu..jd dia kasi aku panadol (which is safe to take), antibiotics, and obat batuk. to my surprise antibiotics are safe to take during pregnancy...
and aku jg sempet tanya if the fever will affect my baby..doctor said it wont..tenang aja..

Setelah sampe rumah (aku naek taxi loh..padahal dari rumah ke clinic bisa jalan 10 menit..tp dah gak tahan sih), minum obat trus tidur..stlh 1.5 jam, I really feel much better...makanya langsung masak2, cuci baju..padahal sebelom ke dokter,mau gerak aja susah krn sakit smua n meriang2...

Hopefully, by tomorrow I'm fully recovered..

Research

today I've been doing some research on strollers and cots..
wuaaa....bingung yang mana..but the good thing is...christmas sales will help us buy cheaper things...
but to me n hubby..most importantly is the quality and life span of the product..
buat apa beli murah kalo cepet rusak ato ga bisa dipake sampe baby-nya gede..krn kita maunya beli yang bisa tahan lama jadi kalo we have 2nd baby barangnya bisa dipake lagi..

bersadarkan hasil survey sampe hari ini..
- ketemu stroller capella S-226 version 2008 di Kiddy Palace...U.P. $399..Now is $199 - can be used til baby 2 yrs old..berat stroller 5.5kg, easy to fold and there are 3 seating positions

hmmm tp masih pengen liat mclarren..krn mnrt ci nawa it is the best stroller so far..
coz Mclarren techno xt itu bisa dipake dari newborn sampe anaknya seberat 25kg (that means sampe umur 5 taon kali ya..) and ada 4 seating position..kalo dilipet berat strollernya 6.5kg
cm masih belom check harganya..hopefully besok bisa check ke robinson and taka

- di kiddy palace ada disc baby cot..warna putih...dari $520 disc jadi $369 udah incl mattrass yg bagus loh...(FYI, beli mattrass yg ada hole-nya utk ventilasi lbh bagus)..cot-nya ini yg size gede 27x52 inc and bisa di convert ke model playpen, sofa bed or toddler bed

again..masih pengen cek cot di taka n Isetan..btw, Isetan bakal ada sale juga...ada cot yg harganya $700an disc jadi cuma 420 uda termasuk mattrass, bumper, sheet, and cot organizer..worth it banget tuh...size nya jg yg gede..sama kyk di kiddy palace...cuma di newsletter Isetan kok gambar cot-nya warna pink yah..I hope mereka ada warna lain..

tapi exciting banget loh survey2 gini...apalagi pas christmas..kyknya pas banget buat belanja2 :)
well...dear all...happy christmas yahh and enjoy your shopping season!

Don't be sad

the rule of being pregnant is....don't be sad...coz ur baby might feel it too...

but life has ups and downs...has trials and blessings...
sometimes can't afford not being sad too..
and for the first time when I was sad..my baby kinda feel it too..
soalnya dia diem mulu..ngga kicking..padahal atr jam 11-1 malem biasanya slalu aktif gerak2 n kicking...aduhh panik banget...sampe dipanggil2 namanya jg diem aja..I put my hand on my tummy jg no reaction..my hubby talked to him jg no response...

after a while..baru aku ngrasa dia gerak tapi soft banget gerakannya..hampir2 gak terasa...
soalnya beda sih antara dia cm gerakin badan/pindah posisi sama yg bener2 nendang..kalo nendang itu perut bisa goyang juga...
aduhh that moment I promised myself to be strong whatever happen..ngga mau sedih2 lagi..
praise God pagi2 setelah breakfast, baby mulai kicking lagi...and until now jg masih gerak2...yayy baby...go baby...mummy loves u so much :)

oh yah..another thing I notice..everytime I pray and lay my hand on my baby and bless him..he always makes some moves...so cute...I think he can feel that there's God's blessing been released to him^^

on my way to 7th month

today is my 26th week and 5 days..
just went back from gynae check up..everything is fine
check up nya cuepet banget...ngga sampe 5 menit kali..
Dr.adrian cuma ngecek blood pressure...trus I lie down..and he did the scan...
this is baby head..baby tummy..baby heartbeat...
your baby weight is 1.1kg..growing very well!

okay..that's it...
then he asked me:
appetite ok?
baby kick u everyday?
now walk slowly, rest well and take your vitamins

and then urine test to check blood sugar..

and..selesai..

hehe...

Praise God baby is fine
woww 1 KG... pantes berattt
itu blm ketambahan air ketuban,plasenta...maybe total 3-4kg kali ya? very tiring...kmrn aja jalan2 di PS 1 jam uda berasa berat bgt pengen cepet2 duduk..

hmm anyway....I'm still in the process of surveying what cot and stroller to buy...
and also completing baby stuffs..which is alot...!! ga slese2 nih..nyicil dikit2 dari skrg..
nanti malem rencana mau jalan2 sih..survey cot n stroller..hope I can finally find what I want! :)

oh yah..btw..i dont think i want to upload my bb photo scan..
since last month foto2nya uda gak jelas lagi...krn baby uda terlalu besar utk bisa diambil foto full body..so it's either i get the tummy part..or the head part...jadi gak jelas banget..even if i show u..u wont know if that's my baby's pic inside my uterus..hehe...
sorryyyy....

Back to Singapore life

I'm happy to be back here..esp coz I can see my hubby again hehehe..missing him so much slm di indo...and I'm sure baby also miss his daddy's voice...but every nite when hubby called me, I put the phone on my tummy so baby can hear his daddy's voice ^^

now that I'm back here...I miss the food in indo..i miss having maids around..who prepare my meals..and I don't need to wash after that...no need to iron my clothes...waaa heavennn
surprisingly di indo aku ga gitu banyak makan di luar...I prefer to eat at home..dan herannya suka bgt makanan 'ndeso' hahaha...like lalap sayur...ikan goreng ama sambal...and once my maid cooked papaya..dunno what u call it..tp enakkk...pedes2 gitu..love it...skrg bener2 kepengen lagi...
the last day in sby, before my flight...aku sempet2in makan sate kelapa..uenakkkk....yummmyyy....my fave! tp gak sempet makan sate ngagel...will make it up in January dehh..
oh ya selasa lalu jg ngidam terang bulan uhuhuhuhu..untung akhirnya dibeliin soalnya dah ngambek pas tiba2 ujan..kyknya pada males keluar...hampir nekat mau naik taxi beli sendiri hehehe untung stanley akhirnya beliin...
and also....kamis males-sehari sblm balik sgp- aku minta dibeliin terang bulan lg..buat dibawa ke sgp...hasilnya...tiap pagi breakfast terang bulan hahahaha..now only left 1 piece on fridge :( so saddd...

and guess what..balik sini..beratku dah naek 1 kg lagi..so total 7kg.. aku dah tau sih bakal naik berat badan..jadi di indo ga tiap hari minum susu..wahh kalo nambah susu lagi kyknya bisa naik 2 kg deh..
oh..apa krn makan terang bulan ya..hahahha gila itu holland kalo pake mentega kan buanyak banget...belom lg susu dan keju nya!!!

and then on sunday...everyone in church were like..." ha..kok tiba2 perutnya dah gede banget ya??"
hueee I didnt really notice how big it grows..but yeaaa I think memang lbh besar dari 2 minggu yg lalu hehehe...and nowww...is getting heavierrrrrrr..OMG....kadang kaki bisa pegel...kalo lg tidur aja..muter kanan ke kiri bisa terasa pegelnya..
dunno udah brp gram sih babynya..jgn2 uda 1 kg..last time kan 602grams...my next check up will be around 20 dec...cant wait..^^
