checking out the Lilypie..

oh yes!! the Lilypie.com does working in my blog hehehe

so today i'm 20 wks & 4dys! :D

kebosanan melampau..

adus...semenjak 2-3 hari ni, rasa bosan ja lah. hari ni terpaksa escape kelas Evidence.

9.30am, crossed the border, pi Bellingham, USA. At 1st, just to check mailbox & pi Bank of America di Sumas but then since already passed the Immigration post, jalan trus pi shopping di Bellingham.

I went to Linen & Things & bought myself a back & shoulder massager. Ni sejak pregnant, badan kdg2 rasa sengal2 ja. so dgn adanya massager ni, hubby pun boleh rilex. Usually hubby rajin massage me every nite, but recently kesian jugalah dgn hubby. Dah penat kerja di ofis, biarlah dia rilex bila balik rumah kan. Someday, I'll upload the massager photo here.

Then, i went to Bellis Fair Shopping Mall, jalan2 cari makan. It was already 12pm. I was in hurry, just tapau lunch & drove back to Canada. Apakan daya, there was road construction on the way home, then at the border have to q to pay Canadian tax. By the time i fully crossed the border again, it was already 1 something p.m.

Calculated lah x cukup masa to reach UBC on time for 2 pm class, so just turned East, back to Chilliwack. But on the way home, sempat tu singgah di Tyme Maternity store. Beli lagi 2 pasang maternity blouse yg ada gaya & style sikit hehehe..

Now, at 7pm home alone - rasa bosan yg teramat sgt! Lucky lah the baby is actively moving, reminds me that i'm not totally home alone LOL.

Hubby always come home late from his office. Cant hardly wait to have this baby around so i'll have someone with me at home while hubby is busy working :D

Hubby learning Malay words..

Hehehe just the other day, on the way to Vanvouver for Consulate of Malaysia "Merdeka Day" celebration, i teached hubby a Malay sentence:

"Bodoh mcm lembu" hahaha

What is the English translation? MMM the sound in Malay is way better than the English translation. Hubby know the meaning of sentence as i've explained to him. Can't stand if someday, someone in Malay said like that to him but then he can't understand it right on the spot.

However, being brought up in a family of full of 'budaya timur', i did give warning to hubby not to simply says "lembu" to any Malaysian LOL...

Yeah..sometime i do miss talking in Malay, using all the "simpulan bahasa" and the "bahasa berkias"..just dont know how to do it in English though..

gifts from a Secret Sister

Yesterday at church Mom passed to me a basket of gift (filled with cokelats, cocoa butter lotion, bath foa, candle, foot lotion and a note) with a prego pillow. Yea, thats the gifts froam a Secret Sister - a program runs by the Women Ministry where i'm one of the Committee members.

I never really involves with Women Ministry before, nope til this year. I'm 1 of the youngest Committee members as the rest of them are women above 40's. They are happy to have a youngster in the Ministry.

How to play this "Secret Sister"? At beginning of the year, we've put down a list of women names attending the Aldergrove SDA Church and a box of name cards on a table in the church. The program was started when a woman (the secret sister) pull out a name card from the box, strike out the name from the list & fill a basket of gifts.

On weekly basis, a woman whom receive a gift from the secret sister will pull out another name from the cards (a new sister) & strike out the name from the list. The woman then have to refill the basket with another gift for the new sister to collect on the next Sabbath.

This will goes on until all the names card have been pulled out and none name left on the list unstrike.

Dont know yet what i'm going to fill in the basket...maybe something to do with crafts, i guess.

me at 20th week

I took the photo above on Wednesday @ 19th wks & few days. On Tuesday (a day before) i went for my pre-natal appointment in Abbotsford. I gained another 3.8 pounds, from 141 pounds (64kg) at my 16th weeks pregnancy to 144.8 pounds (65+ kg).

We dont know yet what is the baby's sex, we will know (God's willing) in 2 weeks time when we do the 4D ultrasound in Langley.



And i took the above photo this morning, after big breakfast...yay, i can feel the baby is awake now, the baby is poking my tummy hehehe

20th week of pregnancy

Today marked my 20th week of pregnancy, half-way before the bundle of joy arrive! Let see what is happening inside my tummy this week:

This is the week most women get that ever-important gender-revealing ultrasound. If your baby isn't shy, the genitals can be clearly seen at this point. Will the baby pee standing up or sitting down? Well, that depends on how you potty train—but if you're interested, you could leave the appointment knowing if you're carrying a boy or a girl. Other highlights this week:

Your baby has established sleep patterns akin to a newborn now. Many babies even have a favorite sleep position already. Some snooze with their chins resting on their chests, while others nap with their head flung back. Many babies at this age fall into noticeable cycles of sleep and activity, so you may know before she arrives whether you have a night owl or an early bird.

If your baby is a boy, the testes have begun descending from the pelvis into the scrotum. If it's a girl, her uterus is completely formed and the rest of her "parts" are in development. (Is that TMI?)

From this point forward, your baby will put most of her energy into gaining weight and, not coincidentally, so will you! Right now your baby weighs approximately 10½ ounces and is about 6½ inches long, about the size of a can of Red Bull (which has way too much caffeine for a pregnant woman to be drinking).

Baby 1st moving a.k.a quickening

"

Bubbles. Butterflies. Gas. These are all words used to describe what a baby's first movements feel like to a mother.

Quickening is defined as the first time you feel your baby move. This is a long anticipated event in every pregnancy.

If you are expecting your first baby you can expect to feel your baby for the first time between 18 and 24 weeks gestation. If this is not your first baby you can expect to feel your baby a bit sooner than you felt your first. This is usually said to happen because you know what you're feeling for and your uterus is more stretched out than it was the first time around

Yes!!! I finally felt it without paying much attention! :D

On Wednesday afternoon as i was laying on the bed, relaxing while surfing the internet ( i put my laptop slighty on top of my tummy with a cushion underneath it), all of sudden i felt something was moving underneath the cushion. Didn't pay much attention til after the 3rd move, then i paused the Korean movie online and was thinking "what is that??? oh my...that's the baby moving" LOL

The baby moved again, and again, some i felt quite gently and some quite hard, it was like the baby was turning around. Yeah, now i realized that i got the same sensation sinc last week, but since it was very, very gentle but overclouded by my ligaments strecthing, i was never really bother. God's willing, the baby will be around inside my tumy for the next 4 mths plus, so why in hurry wanna feel it, rite?

So enjoy my comfy belly,baby!! wanna hear some music?? :D
