It's a Season to Be Jolly...

-
The holiday season's here. Work is slowing down a bit cos lots of peeps are already on leave. I am only taking 1 day off this time, but i'll still get 2 weeks of 4-day long weekends. Woohoo!

Working whilst everyone else's on hols is always fun. Especially at this new location surrounded by shopping malls - im all set. I love my new office. Everything's new and my desk is pretty spacious with a nice view. Our team is located close to the lifts, toilets and kitchen. The kitchen's magnificent! Bigger than my living room & kitchen combined, complete with a massive 3-door fridge overloaded with different types of milk - skim, full or soy and fruit juices. All other hot drinks and kitchen appliances provided and i get to watch Oprah on the flat screen tv while having my lunch. We were dreading the move in the first place cos we'd be in the same floor as our top management. But with all the facilities and the big bosses not being such busybodies, it's been great...so far.

Things at home have been wonderful too. We have 2 guests staying over for Christmas this time - my cousins, Hani & Sofia. We're not 1st cousins and weren't that close before. Our late grandmothers were sisters. So we're, 2nd cousins? The last time i saw them was ages ago when they're so little. They didnt even remember me. Sofia, the younger sister, came to OZ earlier this month to visit her sister Hani who's studying in Adelaide. They've been travelling around OZ a bit and last weekend they arrived in Sydney. It's been wonderful having them here. They reminded me so much of my sisters Limah & Wa. Im sooo glad that their ma contacted us and i get to play host again. ;)

We're pretty much ready for Christmas now. Bought all presents for everyone wrapped up ready to go. Can't wait for Xmas morning to open those many presents under my MIL's tree! As always, she's got LOADS! I feel bad that we only get everyone 1 present per person and she'll have about 10 for each of us. Btw, it's her birthday today and we're going out for dinner to celebrate tonite. So that's 2 presents for her, ok la tu kan? hehehe

The Last Week

I went for my last check-up yesterday. Everything's good. The baby has definitely turned and is facing the right direction. The heartbeat & movements are strong and there's not enough room for him to move all the way back up again. Just to stretch, kick and punch like crazy.   I also got my Group B Strep (GBS) results and just like my 1st pregnancy, it came back positive. I'm not sure if they do this test anywhere else but what it means is that I'd have to be on antibiotics during labour. It's actually a type of bacteria that about a quarter of women carry in the vagina and there's no symptoms. It doesn't affect me at all but can be quite harmful for the baby apparently. So the antibiotics are necessary to help prevent it being transferred to the baby.   I do have another check-up scheduled for the next 2 weeks, just in case the baby decided to hang around & chill in my belly for a bit longer but the midwife said because Ayisha came quite o...

A week ago, on Monday the 29th June 2009 at 12.03pm our lil'un arrived out of my watermelon tummy weighing 2.95kg, measuring 51cm. YES! It's a girl!! Meet our lil precious one, Ayisha Claire Laidler: I think she has a lot of ME in her ;))) And MAYBE Michael's ears lah. :p She arrived on 40 weeks +1 day, according to the scan & my calendar count, due date was 28th June. But i just realized that Dr Chan's due date on my medical card has always been the 29th June. So yeah, he can have the bragging rights. :p I can't believe it's been a week. I really do wanna take the time and write everything that i can remember right from the start because i had such a wonderful experience having her, i don't ever wanna forget it. But that would have to be spread out over many many posts. I dunno how long i have till Ayisha's up again for a feed and today is the first day i felt i have some me time without feeling too tired and aching everywhere. My parents ...

Presenting...

The next Squeaky!!!! A lot of you guys are absolutely correct! We are going to be a family of 4 by May next year, Insya'Allah. :) We've had 'the code' on our fridge for the last few months but people who came to visit and saw it couldn't guess the right answer. So, bravo bravo bravo!!!! :))) And thank you for the wishes too, we're very very excited! I am 3 months pregnant now and just had my 1st scan few days ago in KL. Looks pretty much similar to Squeaky's 1st scan but I think the nose is not as flat.heheehehh The whole experience is very different than when I had Ayisha, except for the morning sickness. Urgh..I forgot how horrible morning sicknesses can be. By the way, it should be called all day sickness too. I was weak, nauseous & blergh the whole day most of the time and really not up to doing anything. Then the 2nd trimester came and I don't know if it's a mental thing or what but the nausea has somewhat subsided and I think I'...
