22 more days to go..

Beautiful morning today!

At 6.58 am, Kin sms me telling she’ll be on MC today. I woke Bigfish up and whispered to his ear that we gonna have breakfast together this morning, ie. he has to send me to work. Upon reaching the office, we had breakfast at the Peremba café. Both of us ordered roti canai, mine with sambal sardin. I’m not shy to admit I kinda like the food served at the cafes here (there are two), and that makes me especially grateful. Yes, I have worked at places where there are no comfortable or palatable eating places within 1 km radius so again, thank god for these cafes. And I’ve mentioned about the food. I’m so contented enough.

It’s going to be a relaxing week since boss will be on leave until Merdeka Day. Relaxing can be defined as no-rush paperwork, keeping to my pregnant pace, the ability to accommodate more to my pregnancy hormones and going to pantry more often to make Milo. Bonus: no need to cover-cover when dipping biscuits in Milo like 4 times during working hours. I’m happy.

Had quite a fun weekend. Along organized a family barbecue party and I remember stuffing myself up to the point until I had difficulty to breathe. Wasn’t that tragic? Everyone melahap selahap lahapnya because the juicy grilled meat kept coming and seemed never ending. Takkan nak membazir kan.. Angah’s hubby, Amran is on holiday here so it’s really meriah having everyone around. Amran is attached with a firm in London and soon Angah will transfer there as well. Really gonna miss her.

Back to the barbecued foods, besides loads of marinated chicken (Giant marinated chicken is fantastic! Cold Storage marinated anything stinks!), banana leaf wrapped marinated fish, sotong on sticks, lamb shoulders, grilled veges (tomato and bell peppers), we also had Along’s specialty Apple Crumble and her signature Mashed Buttered Potato. I ate a single portion (or more) of everything and please keep reading to see what happened at the gynae.

Right after the party, was my appointment with Dr D. Baekk punya timing. It happened my urine was so concentrated and right away I was warned not to have barbecued food being afraid the meat were not thoroughly cooked. I recalled the juicy red coloured chicken meat I was savagely tearing at the party and kept quiet.

Now the moment I looked forward to, the scanning of the baby was going on very well. This time he looked down that we can’t see his face. The last time scanning we managed to catch him sucking his thumb which to me is very cute! While he was at that, he lost the thumb and went a bit frantic as he doesn’t know how to get the thumb back into his mouth once again.. ohh..so super damn cute!!

Dr said he’s not entirely engaged yet, meaning his head is not roomed in the middle of the pelvis just yet, so naturally I still have about two to three weeks to go. Now my appointment is once a week. By the next appointment, by right the baby’s head should be engaged, or the probability I will give birth slightly later than the due date. That’s not something bad, but doesn’t sound good to me neither, so I should be studying how to bring on labour naturally before or on my due date, not after. I mean, this has been long enough okay.. I whined in my heart.

Ops time for me-mommy to go home now!

Cheers!
