Baby names......

Biasalah kan...when you're pregnant this topic will surely come up...heck i've been picking names since before i was married (tak  malu ngaku...tp ngaku je la korang pun pernah buat kan) hiiiiiii.....

Anyway, for boys i've always liked names that start with 'H'...paling favourite
Hakim = Bijaksana
So ever since i got pregnant, we've been browsing names together and this was our first list of favourite names
Hakim = Bijaksana
Haikal = Pokok yang besar dan subur
Harith = Kuat, berusaha
Haziq = Cerdik, pandai (jgn marah eh kak nadia...masuk jugak nama hajikku dalam first list kitorang..hii)

And for girls Ari likes names yang lembut2 gitu and my favourites were all what he called 'too modern' like Batrisya or something like that
His favourite was  Ayuni but we couldn't find the meaning in our book here. The girls names were shorlisted to
Aina = Mempunyai mata yang cantik
Aida = Keberuntungan
Aiza = Noble
Aira = yang ni pun tak tahu maksud dia....but my firiend says ada maksud....kena cr lg ni...anyone knows what it means????

Ape ape pun ni first list yang telah di short list lagi dan balik msia nanti mesti ada tokok tambah dia kan...hihi.... combination of names starting with H and A for boys and A and S for girls......mula igt nak letak Zul kat depan for boys but Ari tak mo nama panjang2 datte.... so ok je lah kan..hiii

teringat my parents story dulu...my mom liked names considered 'modern' masa zaman dulu2 kan...but my dad likes short names so me and my sis got one word names....tp masa my baby sis nye turn i guess he gave in hahahaha...so she has a two word name....

it's all about give and take...and making sure kita bagi nama yang maksud dia baik2 kan.... hopefully the name we have picked for our little tyke or princess suits him or her well....

Ohhhhh...bila kita semakin tua....

hua hua hua.....forgetful forgetful me....menu dah tetap dah...siap check balik ngan hubby tgh hr td apa nak beli...n then i get to the store...i pilih2 the brg (sambil tick2 checklist dlm otak)...oppps main ingredient tertinggal patah balik,ambik main ingredient, i pay, i pack the stuff, i drive home...siampai umah bukak tudung seme n then...alamak...baking powder lupaaaaaaaaa...... dan dgn bestnye mula lah buka tnet cari substitute baking powder...haaa rupanya if you have baking soda and cream of tartar (or buttermilk) boleh je buat.....tapi apakan daya i ran out of baking soda tooooooo.....tp sgtlah malas nak kluar balik just for the baking powder....so how....kita makan ape yang ada je lah sayang...boleh kan boleh kannnnn kan kan kann...hiiiii...

bila tanggal bertukar menjadi umur suku abad menyusul tiba...

The 6th prenatal check-up

went for my second last check-up in Japan...baby's current gestational age is 24 weeks and 3 days...baru masuk 6th month...

today apart from the usual blood pressure and urine check...kena buat blood test...dah agak dah pun kena amik darah tp nurse hr ni tak brapa mahir la.... first dia cari vein on my right hand tak jumpa...lepas tu tukar left hand plak..dah cucuk tu tak kluar lak darah...n then dia gerak gerakkan the jarum mcm nak cr vein tapi tak jumpa gak...so she took the needle out and inserted another needle...baru jumpa the vein...uwah i bet you mesti lebam lepas nie.... and the results...NO 貧血 (anemia) alhamdulillah....
the other results:
bp:122/57 (妥当=normal)
protein in urine: -
sugar in urine: - (yeay...finally)
edema: -
weight: +1.1kg (aiyoyo...mmg tak leh nak control lah nurse...muri la nak ikut target weight bmi tu..but the total weight gained is still under 5kg)
height of uterus:27cm
circumference of abdomen:96cm (+2cm from last month)

instrustions for this month......NOTHING!!!!!...hiiiiii...no more 減塩水

Baby's measurements as of today:

AC:199.2mm (GA:25w 2d)
FL:43.7mm (GA:25w 2d)

Masa scan doc terkejut gila...haaa dia kata dah lebih 800g dah...dia ckp....yappa baby ni ada kanosei jd biiigggg baby...last month baby punya perut was big....this time perut dia dh okay kepala lak besar...hahaha...lawak laa...anyway asal dia sihat ...alhamdulillah....takut besar2 sgt kena c-sec lak....uwaaa kowai...

oh anyway dah tahu gender baby...hiiiii...doctor tanya...wakarimasuka (faham tak??) ehhh zenzen tatau tgk.....the only thing i could make out was the baby's leg...dia check second time pun kita clueless jugak....hahaha...

baby dah gerak lum? hmmm rupanya dah lama dah dia menendang ...mommy dia je tatu itu baby yang menendang...bukan gas...hahaha....the other day dia tendang and kebetulan kita tgh pandang perut...nampak my tummy bergegar...bikkurishita yo..cuak pun ada...haha...masa the first week rasa penendang dia tu...mcm tak kerap sgt..ada hari tak rasa langsung...but nowadays mcm ada jadula...10-11am, 5.30-6pm, mlm masa abah dia blk...around 8.30pm and paling aktif is at around 2-3am...tgh mlm2 buta tu...haaa..mommy dia duk umah je ....tu yang jd kuwashi gile pasal jadual dia hahahaha.....tp tak zutto la..but usual that's the time he kicks and moves the most... abah's new hobby? cr kedudukan baby and main kick game ngan baby....but since your still new at the game 反応lambat sikit al kan...tak pe tak pe nanti praktis lg ek....

as for me....hari tu ada lah dlm 2 days tak lalu mkn...n nowadays kalau mkn je sakit kat tulang rusuk kanan...cm ada lebam yang kita gi tekan2...my mom says it's probably indigestion...tp tatau la...tny dok td dia tak komen ape2 la tp......well that's about it for this check-up...next check-up wil be the last before i head back to malaysia....bye bye Japan....

banyak nye nak cite....

A lot's been going on lately...starting with hubby's trip to US to packing to go back to Malaysia(yang still tak hbs2 lg) and now i totally engrossed in browsing baby stuff on online shops in Malaysia. All in all, blog ni tak bergeraklah gamaknya... anyway, sejak jaga alauddin n tgk kak nadia with hajiq I've been seriously thinking of breastfeeding even after starting work... and when u say breastfeeding while working....you'll need to purchase a breastpump...dulu2 dah browse tapi berenti jap n then i was spurred into action again by dart's baby list...kira keluar balik semangat nak browse ni kan... another thing i've been studying up on seriously is cloth diapers...don't know anyone who uses them here in Toyohashi so tak boleh nak tanya lebih2...but i first came across cloth diapers a long time ago...masa kat Fukui lagi rasanya...i don't think i was even married yet at the time...tak igtlah cam ne... anyway untuk yang tak tahu tu cloth diapers ni kira cam lampin kot, tapi bukan pakai buang. Ada macam2 jenis rupanya All-in-One lah, Pocket Diapers lah, Prefold lah....mcm2 ada and each come with it's own pros and cons....

so my goal now is to study up on breastfeeding, breastpumps, and cloth diapers...this website has been helpful as the owners actually use the cloth diapers...

oklah...nanti sambung lagi..got somewhere to go
