* random post while waiting for my number to come up

wishlist : DIY Moby Wrap

sebenarnya, kalau ikutkan hari ni tinggal 12 hari je, benda ni nak post hari selasa, tah apa masalah blog ni, beliau xkasi pulak i post gambar hari tu, penat la kami dok refresh2, log out login xmau nye juga (jawa alert!!) hmm hmm don't u just hate it when ur blog decided that they have a mind of their own and simply refused to listen to ur command? don't u just hate that? agree please.

anyway, since ada beberapa hari je lagi ni, i am trying to get myself a DIY moby wrap, nanti senang nak jalan2 kat bandar melaka time cuti pantang nanti...emmm i shouldn't be saying that out loud kan? kan dah kantoi -.-' ehehe xde la, sebenarnya lepas tgk cousin sister beli and pakai after she gave birth to her 2nd, teringin jugak nak beli kan. cos i have always hated baby carrier yang i bought untuk mini me dulu, yang itu adalah standard baby carrier yang ada jual kat pasaran terang maupun juga pasaran gelap, sangat tak hands-free cos everytime i put it on, baby rasa condong ke depan so u have to support using ur hands jugak, which kalau time shopping tu susah cos u need ur hands for other stuff also like carrying bags & stuff. so when i saw just how comfortable moby wrap is for both mother and baby, i decided to do the obvious; google :)

u can even carry ur 1 year ++ daughter, awesome sangat

rupanya moby wrap ni dah ramai yang pakai, nampak sangat la teman ni sangat ketinggalan when it comes to baby accesories, tp xpe kan? better late than never :) banyak gila kot website yang menjual moby wrap ni, but sadly harga adalah tidak berbaloi untuk something yang u may only use for 4-5 months je. price range RM150 to almost RM200, so i asked my cousin sister, berapa lama dia pakai for her baby, dia pun pakai 2-3 bulan je then dia jual pada kawan dia. she advised me to buy preloved je, sebab memang xkan pakai lama pun dia kata. sebab kain tu dari material yang very quality jugak, so eventho it's preloved item tetap nampak baru and still in good condition. so i goggled la preloved pulak, malangnya la rasanya cos preloved pun xjauh sangat beza dgn harga asal, around RM100-RM130. so cam sedih la jugak kan, then it occured to me, i've seen the tutorial, why didn't i think of it in the first place? so i google again, this time; DIY moby wrap. after all, it's just a long piece of kain that u lilit2 around you and tie the end part. Masya Allah, happynya sebab ramai jugak yang rasa sangat membazir beli yang original so decided to DIY, so found this great website yang ajar step by step. but the downside is, dorang pakai kain jersey. kain jersey ni kalau yang i biasa jumpa agak keras jugak kualiti kain dia, which is not suitable for malaysian weather, dia american, kat sana xpanas sgt macam kat sini. tp xpe, nak seribu daya taknak seribu dalih, i showed MIL cara2 buat moby wrap (cos i need her help to jahit kan bahagian tepi kain tu) and also asked her advise on kain apa yang sesuai utk buat wrap tu, being a tukang jahit dia tau la jenis2 kain so we decided on the best one which is, lycra :) lycra ni macam kain jersey tapi dia lebih stretchable and nipis than jersey so kalau pakai breezy la sikit.

so tomorrow, me and zara is the going to the nagoya to the buy the kain :) hari tu dah survey kain and harga, okay la Rm16.80 per metre. kalau dikira upah beli kain tambah upah jahit tepi lebih berbaloi kot dari beli yang original so moby wrap dah boleh ( / ) on my wishlist :) anyway, lepas tu kena belanja dia cornetto sundae and teman dia pegi H&M *insert muka meluat

a happy mami right here :D

#latergram versi cerpen

so yesterday i finally had the time to start packing baju for three (mine, Mr K's & just a few for mini me as i have took one whole box of hers & mini me 2.0's baju to gombak) while i was busy lipat-ing and susun-ing the baju, i realised Mr K was sort of staring at me. so i ask him what's up? he had one of his more serious look on his face and ask me am i in pain? "what pain?" ku tanya balik "y'know, labor pain la. u dah start sakit ke?" and i laughed at him

seriously Mr K, kalau teman dah start rasa contraction ingat teman nak duduk diam2 lipat baju camtu ke? kompem dah kelam kabut sumbat je mana2 yang patut. i know why he's worried tho, masa i first had my contraction dulu i did not say a word to him, i told MIL mintak teman gi hospital je, and he overheard me and that's how he found out. so beliau takut this time around, i will pull off the same trick. hewhewhew

anyway, semalam i finally packed the bag utk rumah gombak, i finally packed bag yang nak bawak ke hospital and put the bag nicely dalam kereta. tapi sekarang ada sedikit sesalan sebab hari ni tak drive, Mr K hantar ke ofis and he took off dengan kereta ke his office ahaha *lap airmata tanda kebodohan diri



anyhuu, totally unrelated, semalam kami call jabatan pertahanan awam buat report pasal sarang tebuan kat pokok betul2 sebelah tangga nak ke rumah. sarang itu adalah sebesar besar jasmine 5kg. malam sebelum tu, Mr K kata anytime boleh jatuh tu. haa tu yg teman tak berapa nak gemar tu, dah la mini me jenis jalan terkedek2, mau nye time kitorg tgh jalan kat bawah tu tetibe sarang tu terjatuh (mintak simpang), haa macam mana nak lari tu? nak angkat beliau lagi, nak bawak perut lagi...kan? kan dah banyak kerja tu. anyway, masa call semlaam org yg amik report tu kata dorg hanya boleh buang sarang tu time senja je. i came back around 7.30 semalam and takde pape pun yang berubah, sarang tu still ada lagi. Mr K kata it would take more than one report for them to actually get them to do it. anyway, pagi ni masa keluar sempat la pandang, rasanya dah tak nampak tapi xsure la maybe tertengok pokok lain sebab time tu kereta dah jalan, tapi nampak macam dah takde. kalau betul takde alhamdulillah kalau ada lagi balik kang nak buat report lagi sekali. ok dats all :)

pain oh pain

"cuti starts when the pain kicks in"

this is the honest answer i gave everytime someone ask me when am i going for my leave. bukan niat nak berlagak good2 but i just don't want to waste my leave or mc just so i can duduk rumah goyang kaki while waiting for the contraction to start taking place. i mean if this is my 1st, maybe la but since this is my 2nd pregnancy, i pretty much know more or less how bearable or unbearable the pain is, so tak payah kot nak cuti awal2.
besides, the morning i had my 1st contraction masa pregnant dulu, i drove myself to the hospital with my MIL in tow but was told to go home sebab jalan belum bukak lagi (the term use by some)

but Mr K is not keen to the idea. dia kata kenapa la nak seksa diri, amik je la cuti ke mc ke, rehat je kat rumah sementara tunggu due. sebenarnya kalau diikutkan logik, betul jugak. i can always take a week leave before my due date as the doc has advised me that i can't go more than the due date which is 5.2.2012 thanks to me having diabetes during this pregnancy. so maknanya kalau baby belum keluar by end of january pun dah boleh amik cuti. tapi itu ikut logik, kalau ikut hati memang taknak membazir cuti or mc so back to sq 1 hehe sorry Mr K, you cannot win this fight :)

so moral of the story, camne2 pun, taknak amik cuti awal2, tunggu sampai rasa sakit baru amik cuti, in sha Allah akan dipermudahkan :)

hello 2013

welcoming the new year with 35 more days, maybe less but definitely not more than 35 days as i'm having diabetes thru out this pregnancy. ok, dah mula rasa risau gundah gulana. tak kisah la kalau ni anak yang ke 2 ke, pertama ke, no 10 ke, perasaan nak bersalin tu tetap sama. mesti risau, takut apa2 terjadi kat baby kan, isk jgn mintak yang bukan2 zailin. anyway baby D setiap hari mami sembahyang, mami mintak dipermudahkan urusan kita so in sha Allah, in 35 more days, i will get to hold you in my arms, safe and sound :) can't wait!!

i was working half day on monday so after 1pm, kerah Mr K, zara & mini me to accompany me to a warehouse baby fair near monash university. it was such a bummer tho. managed to buy a cap and new shoes for mini me but nothing for the baby as i don't find anything on sale that interesting :( so penyudahnya ke manjaku taman sri gombak je la, since they are also having year-end sale. i bought diapers for baby, some toiletries, yu yee oil, and maternity pads for myself.

the other day they had a carseat that was on sale, it was only RM95 and i was saving the money i had at that time for something else, so when i went on monday, dah takde dah :( i was so sad as a new carseat for baby is on my wishlist. ni lah wishlist untuk baby yang i had in mind for sometime already:

1. moby wrap (by now, i don't feel like buying as i don't think i will be using it that much and rasanya guna for few times than tak guna dah so cam membazir je kot kalau beli. anyway did my survey the market price for it in msia is RM150 more or less)

2. carseat (tot of buying this for baby as i did not get to buy for mini me back then, rasa cam sedih sangat kalau tak dapat cari carseat for her)

3. double breast pump (dah survey harga, yang paling murah dalam RM300++, this time around rasa nak fully BF her, so did some survey jugak, dorang cakap if you pump both breast at the same time, lebih banyak milk akan di produce which is good)

tapi taktau la jadi beli ke tak all this, tengok la dulu camne ye :) anyway, most of the stuff for baby D dah ada, dah bawak ke rumah gombak cuma playpen je taktau nak bawak ke x, Mr K pun xdecide lagi nak bawak ke x, so kita tgk la nanti camne kalau ada, ada la playpen kat sini. bukannya guna pun nanti rasanya sebab baby D tidur ketiak sebelah kiri mami, mini me tidur sebelah kanan weehee :) oh, nak kena start cari skirt for myself sebab time berpantang ni taknak pakai kain batik, nak pakai skirt barulah hipster cewah!!
