14 Hour Flight Checklist

-
We're going away again tomorrow! Very excited but a lil nervous as it will be Ayisha's longest flight. Altho she's been pretty good on the plane, this time it'll be about twice as long as the longest ones she's been on so far. So I wanna make sure that I've got everything we need to hopefully avoid any tantrums from either the child, the mum or even the dada.

Here goes:

1) Barney, Dora & Singsong DVDs - check!


2) Snacks - Check!


3) Hundreds of Stickers & Coloring Books - Check!


4) Favorite Story Books - Check!



5) Ointments & Medicines - Check!



6) Pooh - Check!


For the past week I've been trying to phase out Dolly, Lucy and other big non-fluffy dollies of hers by hiding & keeping them away from her. Left her with Pooh because it can be easily squeezed into our carry on bag and works wonderfully as her pillow on the plane.


7) This one's kinda super important! 'Rararara Me' - Check! Check! Check!


Oh, by the way, we are going to....



We are one of those that got sucked into the super duper cheap Air Asia flights when they first advertised their Paris destination months ago. So we're flying to KL first arriving late night and leaving for Paris early the next day.

Spent last night trying to fit our 10 days of travels into this one bag.


Had this bag for the longest time and I love how super expendable it is. I'd normally pile up high all the stuff to take & leave the challenge of zipping it all up to Michael. I just hope it won't burst out anytime soon.

Apart from booking the hotels, train tickets etc early, we haven't really made any other preparations. Oh, except for watching Amelie (love her!), Before Sunset (my favorite!) & Heartbreaker (love the Dirty Dancing bit) to brush up our French. (konon-konon, all i know is that Lady Marmalade song besides the basic Bonjour, Au revoir ,merci)

None of us have been to Europe before so we're very very excited! Will try & keep updated while we're there but if not then see u when we get back, 10 pounds heavier after all the crepes, cheese, chocolate croissant & all things butter & creme.

Ibu Mau ke Paris ya. Sampaikan salam pada Nyonya Besar Eifel ya. (want to know why being called NBE, read the Tetralogy by Andrea Hirata).

Bawa pulang ole-ole untuk saya. Von Voyage!

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...

Introducing Our Lil'Un - 1 Week Old

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 ...

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'...
