15 days already?!

So it's been 15 days since I gave birth. I can still remember the pain of being in labor for 9 hours straight. I almost had a C section and I almost got an epidural shot. I totally passed out. I was heavily drugged due to the pain.......and the screams..........erm........

I am just glad that my baby came out safe and sound.

My boys

Yusuf is such a loving older brother. He understands that his brother is a baby so he keeps talking to him and tries to calm him down when he cries. He just loves his baby brother's crib though.......which isn't really built for toddlers his size i think.

+-72 days to go

I need to work on my pregnancy and my relationship with my baby. I haven't been paying much attention to him coz I've been so busy looking after Yusuf. I'm also a bit underweight so maybe that contributes to my body aches and pains. Also including the fact that we moved and that life in the city isn't my thing may also make or have made this pregnancy difficult for me.

44 days countdown

Went to see the Gynea yesterday morning. I felt like I was gonna collapse coz I was rushing for the appointment that I didn't bother eating first. So my blood pressure was a bit low. I've put on another 600g. So overall I have actually put on about 6kg. I think the baby weighs about 1.9kg now. He may sound small but he is definitely filling up space in my tummy. I asked my Gynea about the symptoms and pain I have been going through and she said its normal. I am actually considered to be on the luckier side compared to other pregnant women. My hemoglobin count was less so I was instructed to change my supplements just until I give birth. I am after all a bit on the anemic side.

I still have problems eating red meat and eggs but so far chicken is alright. I have been desperately trying to change my sleeping routine back to the way it was because in the last couple of weeks, I have been sleeping at about 3am and waking up for Subuh prayers and then falling back asleep till just before Zuhr prayers. I am eating much less portions of food but much more frequently throughout the day.I can't sleep on the bed anymore so I have been pretty much on the couch most of the days and nights.

I think if my bodyaches don't go away after giving birth, I may need to schedule an appointment with a chiropractor :-/

update ^_^

• I have loads of mosquito and insect bites on my arms and legs that I am beginning to look like a leopard.
• I am back to my insomniac self. Actually, I can't sleep due to my inability to breathe properly when I sleep in certain positions. The cramps I get from my legs also wake me from my sleep from time to time which suck.
• I got myself another massage slot today. It's only my second time. I was desperate. The pain from my hips are killing me and it's been creeping up all the way to my neck.
• I met my sister-in-law who is one month (pregnant) ahead of me and her gynea tells her she may have to be induced within the next few weeks. I have about 68 days to go and I am nervous as hell.
• I am about 7 months +- pregnant now and I put on about 6kg. I read that I am supposed to be putting on at least 10kg by the end of my pregnancy but since the gynea says that my baby is fine and is growing according to schedule, I am guessing that things are OK.
• Managed to do a bit more shopping for the baby. I hope we have everything. Someone once told Shu that we have 9 months to prepare ourselves mentally and physically for the arrival of the baby. Once the baby is born, there is no excuse for not being able to adjust ourselves. He has a point.

making new friends

This is a kitten my aunt picked up from Uda.His name is Baby.He is ever so manja and so very chomel.I think he went through a series of culture shock when we arrived coz usually there's no one at home.Looking at his teeth,he is definitely NOT a year old yet but definitely more than 4 months old coz his eyes are gold in color.

Kecik is orange in color with white stripes.Baby was something different.Grey with black stripes and instead of having pink-ish paws,his was black.His nose is black in color as well.He is chomel and so playful.
