Stop complaining and start feeling blessed

I am not sure if it is hormonal but I need to vent again.  

There's this so-called celebrity who is currently expecting her second child with her rock star husband and is due in December who has been complaining a lot about pregnancy and being pregnant.  Drama queen as usual and I think you all should know who she is by now.

One commentor for the same news commented that she should stop complaining as some women has been trying for many years and still no luck.  I have to agree with the commentor.

At this point of time, she should really slow down and take a break and stop all this publicity and attention.  Just rest and relax.  Stop wearing all those super tight clothes that accentuate your body.  Stop wearing heels.  Your swollen feet will thank you.  Just stop whining, please.

Well, I don't know what it's like to expect a second child since this is my first experience.  I don't have any labour experience.  And I do have a lot of anxiety at this point of time although I tried my best not to think too much.

Every day, I am counting my baby's movement.  I am happy when she moves although sometimes it can be quite ticklish and sometimes aching.  This is the crucial time now.  Many women who have high risk pregnancy have given birth by this time, to preemies.  Some babies didn't manage to survive due to umbilical cord complications and so on.  I am counting my blessing at every single passing day.

I know how much I wanted this baby.  We tried for 2 years, tried many natural methods.  I know some women tried for longer, like 2 years is nothing.  But it is something for us, especially when we suffered a miscarriage before.  Every single day, I am waiting for her arrival.

I have many vivid dreams and anxiety dreams.  Most of it is regarding to delivery.  Well, it's understandable my first time and I really have no idea what it's like to be in the hospital, delivering a baby.  I have been hospitalised for 3 surgeries before, all using GA and I know that procedure and how it works.  But delivery, zilch.  I also want to opt for no epidural and I am not sure if I can tahan the pain.  

OK, back to less anxious stuff.  I have everything ready.  My sister gave me a lot of preloved items and some still new.  

All I need is to buy cloth diapers and a breast pump.  That's it.  Today DH did washing for some baby's clothes.  We have so many baby's clothes that baby can change to something new few times a day.  I am planning to pack my hospital bag at 37 weeks only.  I am also doing evening walks with my husband for 30 minutes (hopefully can do it everyday).  I am not sure if I should get ready a birth plan.  Right now it's all in my mind.  I will be getting special parking space in my 8th month, which is like next week???  How time flies.  

Every single day, just live in the present.  Many things is beyond our control at this point.  Gynae can help to scan and check but they can't control what's happening inside your womb.  Let nature take its course.

I pray every day that baby will be out only when she is mature enough, say 40 weeks??

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. W...

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medi...

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure...
