Final weeks in final trimester

这个星期进入37周了。再多一个星期，我就要被捶生。因为我有糖尿病的关系，所以要提前2 个星期把宝宝生出来。还记得刚怀孕时，当医生说宝宝已经5周了，我还很担心。因为我的HBA1C指数8.9 mmol. 原本应该6.0 mmol 才会比交安全的。太高对宝宝不好。所以我要比平常人更照顾好自己。整个怀孕过程是40周，我还有35 周要熬。经常听别人说，刚怀孕1个月，3 个月或8 个月都会流产或宝宝没了心跳etc.听了也觉得害怕。每次一过了那些危险期，过了一关都会很开心。虽然熬 的很辛苦。但是为了我们的结精品， 妈妈会不惜一切的爱护和保护你的。

每晚，我都会叫你讲故事给宝宝听。因为我想促进你们的关系。让宝宝听到熟系的声音。我知道有时 因为你工作很累，你不想讲故事，而你轻轻的抚摸我的肚子，轻轻的和宝宝说说话，我也觉得很幸福了。看到你笑因为宝宝在踢 你时，也让我觉得很窝心 . 她是你给我最好的礼物了。

这几个月宝宝一天一天在我的肚子里长大，感觉到她的心跳，她的动作，我不寂寞了。因为有她的陪伴。不过，一旦她出世了，我应该会很想很想念这感觉。会不会很不舍得她 呢？不关怎样，妈妈永远都爱你的。。。。。

Awaiting....

It's her week 30th, ending my second trimester and entering third trimester :)

Baby grows good. We have already preparing stuffs for her arrival soon. Checklist checked! I have another 8-10 weeks to go further. Nowadays I'm unable to have a sound night sleep anymore. I keep waking up in the middle of night, and watching my hubby sleeps soundly with his 'ngooo, ngoo..' sound, hehe. Sometimes, my leg would also cramped and usually my hubby will wake up and do the massaging to relieve my pain.

At work, most of the time, I feel sleepy mainly because I do not have much works to do. If there is, my attention might be shifted so I won't feel that sleepy and bored.

我们的宝宝

Our baby in week 11th. To-date, he/she is already 17th week :)

Hope the baby grows finely. Mama and papa waiting for your arrival......

Perception?

How would a boss perceive is the staff keeps applying for annual leave, ie one day in a week for 2 consecutive weeks?

Rabbit CNY 2011

Haih, I had a less-enjoyable CNY this year. Not sure it's because of my age, my circle of friends, my first year of marriage or the current trend is changing?

There was no so-merry CNY anymore. It was seem to be sooooo quiet. Perhaps everyone was enjoying the long holiday and stayed home to rest? My first CNY after married. Not much to do, or perhaps less than the past years. I'm not longer the chef of the house. My mother-in-law was doing all the cooking and my sisters-in-law were helping off. So I just help 'head & tail'. But it really had been a busy and tiring days cz we would have to go back to the kampung everyday during the CNY and then night time came back again to our house. Thus, I had less time gather with my friends. But they were also seem to be busy with their own matters, I guess.. (cz i received no calls, SMS).

After almost a week of long holiday, feel so lazy to come back to KL to work the next morning. I'm not in the CNY mood, but I'm definitely in my holiday mood :)

This is my first year of giving away angpow, and sometimes, I really forgot abt that, and sometimes even my mother-in-law would remind me to give angpow to the youngters :P

Some said give away angpow is equivalent to giving away happiness others. Also the person who gives angpow would be blessed. And for me, I asked everyone to collect their angpows from me before or during the CNY. My friend said she never met someone who keeps calling ppl come to collect angpow...haha.....why not?

Hope next year would be a better, brighten and happier CNY..with everyone gathers together in one area:)

(Why most mother-in-law would temper her son-in-law rather than daughter-in-law?- this is what I told my husband before)
