welcome 3rd trimester....

Alhamdulillah, i'm reaching my 3rd trimester...had my check up today...alhamdulillah all is well....

Baby bump last month at 24 weeks....

ok so new baby updates, doc today did 3d scan..mashaAllah we saw the face..hehee..so exciting...doc printed a black and white picture, but save all the scan in CD from week 6 (my first check up) nanti bila dah deliver, he will give us the cd, nanti boleh print the pictures out and keep for memory sake inshaAllah...

my baby bump now is actually lagi besar dari the picture above..hehee...i will update soon, bagi surprise sikit...yes my stomach is besar sikit, and tadi when i saw the doctor, i had to ask why is my stomach so besar when i compare with my friends...hehee..and doc explained that its mainly because of my height. I am not so tall so there is not much space in my stomach, so the stomach has to stretch out, and on top of that my keturunan retain a lot of water in our body, hence why my baby bump is besar.

also even better news, mashaAllah now another one of my sis is pregnant...so alhamdulillah now 3 of us sisters are pregnant...heheoh alhamdulillah...best sgt, we all can share share stories. i told the doctor to give family discount...ehehee...doctor pun gelak je...

baby now is 1kg..hehehe..alhamdulillah..i'm so happy....kicking and kicking happily..u know something, no one else dapat merasa my baby kick,because every time someone else touches my stomach, the baby will stop kicking...except for the father...with habib, he has a special game, if habib puts his hand on the left side of my stomach, baby akan kick left side je. If tukar and puts his hand on the right side of my stomach, he will punch the right side pulak..I dont know how our baby knows, but mashaAllah its just amazing...when first time the baby buat we thought it was just rezeki..but the baby has done it a few times already this month(of course only with the father)...and when someone else tries touching my stomach again, he will just stop kicking terus...its so funny..

muntah update, sadly i still muntah sikit sikit..i was hoping by 3rd trimester it will stop, but since 2011, i have muntah 2  hari already...but then again, its under control..alhamdulillah i'm so glad its nothing serious like other 3rd trimester issues like diabetic, anemia, hign blood pressure, placenta not at the right place and many many more...I'm so bersyukur alhamdulillah...

as for baby things, well so far we have all the big things, alhamdulillah like baby cot, car seat, bath tub, most of it of course hand me downs from my sis and sis in law...the ones that we have bought is breast pump, baby bottles, stroller(a special present from the grandparents), baby bumbo (from warehouse clearence fabulous mum for only RM 125 wth tray)..and many baby bajus ( I just couldn't resist the year end sale)...

byk lagi small things tak settle yet but inshaAllah within the next 2 months we will buy them slowly, and start to set up the room.

hmmm it's time to survey baby stuff....

oh i realise it's been soooo long since my last entry.....hehehe....

well first of all, Alhamdulillah i'm in my 2nd trimester now...

first trimester...hmm was very challenging, somehow I was one of those unlucky ones...my morning sickness was rather bad...actually i was feeling sick, vomiting and nausea all day long...at one time it became so bad, i was sooo dehydrated sampai kena admitt to the hospital for drip....I started muntah from week 6, and sambung sampai week 16...only the last 3 weeks muntah dah reda...so far once a week je muntah...only if i betul2 eat something wrong....

but no surpirse actaully....my whole family from my grandmother to my sisters semua pun went through bad morning sickness, so Alhamdulillah i had a lot of support from my family....

Alhamdulillah now i'm feeling a lot better....so yes, now of course it's time to start surveying for baby things....

the other thing that i want to be thankful for is actually, on baby stuff...i have mashaAllah generous sisters that are willing to share with me so many things, that i can cancel half of the things that i need to prepare for the new born baby nanti ...inshaAllah.....

ok first survey that i would like to share on is baby stroller...for myself, because i have experience taking care of my anak-anak sedara, so my survey is more on my personal experience...

1) the stroller has to be light weight ; yes it's ok if our husbands are around all the time to help us carry the stroller, but in reality of course that is not the case....hehee...my maximum limit is 10kgs..anything heavier that that is a no no....and the weight has to be balance jugak..i have to make sure, when i carry the baby out, the stroller cannot topple, if i have my diaper bag at the handles...yes girls, some stroller ringan sgt sampai it can topple when you carry the baby out , if ada beg sangkut dekat the handle...

2) is has to be able to accommodate from new born to 3/4 years old ; For me it is very important that the stroller boleh recline full sampai baring position...while many assumes that full recline is only for newborn, but i can tell you now even when they are 3 years old, the full recline is useful for when they want to sleep while you are busy shopping or makan..hehehe...a happy sleeping baby/toddler = happy parents to shop with peace of mind...

3) it has to fold, umbrella fold ; the folding is very important so you have a lot of boot space in the car....sometimes me and my sisters all go out together..believe it or not, we will bring 3 strollers with us...nasib baik all the stollers folds very well & slim, so we can fit them comfortably in the car boot....

4) i have to be able to fold the stroller with 1 hand ; this criteria is actually very very tricky......byk stroller umbrella fold, but not many yang can fold with 1 hand...the rest all kena baringkan the stroller on the floor first, then carry it up....while some people don't mind this, but to me this folding method is very very very important....sebab mashaAllah senangnya when it folds with one hand, so you dont have to bongkok your back so much to carry the stroller to masuk the car boot...

5) it has to be a 4 wheeler ; while i  know its a trend now to have a 3 wheeler, but for myself i'm very old school...hehe..i like 4 wheelers..sebab  they fold smaller, and the most important thing, because it has 4 wheels, the lebar of the stroller is smaller then the 3 wheelers...3 wheelers kena lebar, to keep balance to the stroller...u see if the stroller is lebar, it is very hard to maneuver around the shopping malls, and grocery store, wedding halls and esp restaurants..leceh nanti langgar sana-langgar sini, kesian k.......and the most important thing is that, 4 wheelers are cheaper than 3 wheelers....

hehehe...so far, those are my top criteria in buying a stroller...and of course having said all these..i only have 1 brand in mind...heheh...and the winner is

PEG PEREGO

During those years that i jaga babies full time...i manage to guna peg perego, Mclaren, bugaboo and maxi-cosy/quinny combo...my fav. is definitely the peg perego stroller....

here i've uploaded a youtube video, then you will know what i mean by 1 hand folding....




so yes inshaAllah this is the stroller that i want to get...but not now, i nak tunggu beli masa 6 months pregnant nanti inshaAllah sometime in December...hopefully there are some good year end sale so i can buy it with a good bargain....

till my next survey...hehehe....
