Happy 8 Months Anniversary

Happy 8 Months Anniversary....

Pejam celik pejam celik, its already 8 months we have been pronounced Husband and Wife. And our first year of experiencing Ramadan together. Alhamdullilah, being pregnant, I can fast with little or no complications at all. But too bad, my wish to complete fasting for one month tak jadik cos was down with flu and had to skip 2 days....boo hoo......

Nikmatnya rasa, to be able to wake up and prepare sahur for your husband daily, adn to have someone by your side, to break fast together too. This year has been a turning point, especially for me, and there is more yet to come, which im pretty excited to face...

Now! As we all know, we are 32 weeks pregnant now (according to doc's calculation). According to mine, only 31weekks ajer pasal kalau 32 weeks its equivalent to 8 months jugak kan? I got pregnant one month after nikah. hmmm..

Whatever it is, we have about 8 weeks (or less) to go through. Pregnancy has been a fun fun journey and as we are nearing the due date, surprisingly hubby thinks he will be missing this journey. But of course we both cant wait to carry our first bundle of joy-ness!

Our pregnancy has been a pretty smoothe one (to hubby's relief). Only nowadays, i feel big. I have given in and accepted the fact this body does not belong to me or hubby. It's like a big oven with many cushions to "bake" our baby till he is ready to come out to the world. My arms have become flabby, my thighs are bigger, my bum is very very cushiony and most of my clothes i can no longer fit. I seek comfort in my maternity pants and my maxi dresses. And i look after my food intake. The first few months was nothing but veggies and milk and slice fish soup everyday!!

Climbing stairs is a chore. I waddle, i don walk. Surprisingly, i still can run for the bus.

I wonder, what more changes will i go through or face in the next coming 8 weeks or less.....

So while we wait and see.....we wanna reminisce the making and baking of our lil junior. We so love you and cant wait to see you baby!

When we found out we were pregnant, I wanted to get a shot for "future references".

Excited as i am, i really tot there was a bump in this stage when actually there was none!

Hmm i cant recall at what week i am here. Its before our sanding so it should be about 21 weeks?

Yup yup. 21 weeks and i still can do my fire show tht time.

Can u see the diff? My tummy....My body! My sleeping shorts have always been loose but look at that!

We didnt manage to get a snapshot of my progress weekly/monthly but below was taken when im at 31 weeks! I still think i am small though.....

I have a "map" where my pusat is. So ugly....

Proud parents to be!

Ahh yes....my ever cheeky hubby. Me so lurp u lah....

8 more weeks to go now......dum dee dum dee dum dee dum.......

7 Moons Now

7 Moons Now...

Looky at our Baby! Looking fine at 30 weeks!

Had our monthly check on 4th Sept. My weight has increased by a mere 1 kg (again) when i thot i ate more this month. Wasn't feeling too good either cos kena jangkit by Daddy.

Dr Wee scanned me tummy and lo and behold! There it is again. "You see your baby? Not shy already, don want to give no surprises. Can see his privates first thing...."

Ahh...yes.....sigh. That is sure our baby. Moment doc put tht scanny on me, we saw again, his privates. Our baby is so proud to be our "lil'man". Nicely positioned (like the pic below!) head down on my pelvic. No wonder i can feel his kicks more on my upper tummy. And his head looks so well and rounded already now! Doc says he is a perfect plump baby at 1.5kg. Plump! hehehe... Alhamdullilah.

30 Weeks Pregnant

So i will still fast during my pregnancy and doc gave me extra multi-vits so i can last better during the day. So far so good but damn, my wish to puasa the whole month tak jadik cos of the flu. Gotta skip 2days.

Craved for mooncake. Got it! Craved for Ramen-Ten! Got it too! Thank you Mr Fazli. U the best Hubby! Now shall we go for my labour breathing and breast feeding class this Sat hubby? ;p

Our Sanding - The Pengantin Basi

Our Sanding - The Pengantin Basi




Why Pengantin Basi? Well, it's cos we are already married in Jan 08, already pregnant, but only now celebrating it all with glorious glorious food. The days of worries, slight misunderstandings and tiffs are officially over. On this day, we did nothing but smile and try to look good (in my case, try to look thin!).

As u can see with the photo above, we were over madeup, hubby looked too young, and i looked too old! Not forgetting the rounded face and the big bum! But, we try not to let it bother us so much (yarrite) and go with the flow and bersyukur that we have already been blessed with the coming of the lil' one.

The persandingan went very smoothly. The food was too good to be true, tho we didnt get to enjoy much. But we were glad the guests loved it! We thank you all once again for attending and making this happen. And of cos to my hubby's mum & family; don't know what we'll do without u.

As we still owe the wedding video, so here we present to you, our wedding pics. (There are few hundred more but we just post these lah eh.) Tks Shahrul!

His Wedding Ring.....At Last......

His Wedding Ring(S).......At Last....


Ok, once again, we would like to say a huge thank you for those who have helped, and attended our wedding and made it a success.


For those who can't come....we expect a present for our newcomer in the family.. hahaha i kid you!! but serious, i only half forgive u all.....hahahahaha i Kid u AGAIN!


Now.....we know we owe our wedding pics in here. I feel half hearted to load it up, cos, i don look as good as my nikah day. Im rounded....fat....and rounded.....well im pregnant, so u get my point and my insecurities.


Nevertheless, as we are not the typical married couple like the rest, you should also know tht my lovely husband didnt have a wedding ring at all when we got solemnised. Its not a must, but it be nice for him to don one.


And that's what we did. We scouted for a good ring for him, Platinum ke, Titanium ke, Silver ke....but finally we settled for stainless steel.


Sorry sayang, Bvlgari ring for you on our anniversary maybe ok? For now, let's enjoy not one but TWO wedding rings. One is the wedding ring, One is the feeling stylo ring!

Look at this beauty. His very own wedding ring...

And this to accessorise his looks when he feels like dolling up!

Sidetrack:

Marriage Life....Alhamdullilah is going pretty smoothly. With the coming of our baby soon, we manage to try to understand each others needs and we help each other as and wen needed.

Our baby is very very active and sometimes we do get slightly worried when he does not move tht much sometimes. Daddy Fazli is in love with me tummy, especially when baby pokes out his elbow and makes Daddy pushes it back in!

Insya'allah....we hope to be blessed with Happiness all round always.....

The 2nd Honeymoon

The 2nd Honeymoon

Can u see our tired faces? Well, we know we owe the Sanding pics first but too bad, we have our Bali Honeymoon photos on hand first so here goes.. Anyways, yes, the tired faces was because our flight was at 630 am and we had to be at the airport at 430 am, and we had just finished our reception, which means....WE DIDNT SLEEP!

Finally in the aircraft. Lionair was small and crampy, and definitely sleeping was a very uncomfortable and difficult process but we were very very tired. In 2 hours time we will be in Bali!! So SLEEP NOW!

Ahhh yes....we are in beautiful Bali. Faz's Bibik fetch us from the airport and dragged us to Tanah Lot to view the land and stable tht she intends to buy. Buy a LAND?! Can u imagine tht? Tired as we were, we were still glad tht our first day did not go to waste by going back to her villa ( Yes! Villa!) and just sleep. What am i holding? Bibik's and her daughters pet SNAKES! Yes, i said PETS!

Bibik's beautiful daugthers, Camilla and Amelia and of cos with their lovely, slimy pets. Oh did i mention the white peed on me? Yes, snakes pee funny. Heh.

Here are some shots of that beautiful land, overlooking the sea. Imagine building a house here, and building ur very own house and having a private beach all to yourself. I loved it. We loved it!

And that's us. Happily in love, but tired future mummy and daddy!




Next we went to look at Bibik's Horses. Hubby is riding on Billy i think. Or is it Laura? Whichever it is, Hubby is sure bored riding a horse.

And yes, below are some shots of Bibik's Villa. Villa!! Open air concept, few walls, and wind wind wind all day long! I wanna live here!

And at night, we stopover to Bibik's Cafe where her first daughter, Zee, is handling. It's called Caz Cozy Cafe and it damn sure was COZY! Food was good too and DIRT CHEAP!

My Super Hubby....hehehehehe

We didnt exactly stayed at Bibik's Villa, during the whole trip. Its a bit far from Kuta (it's at Sanur) and its a twenty minute ride from home to Legian, where Zee's Cafe was. So we decided to book a hotel for 2 nights at Kuta Puri Resort. Beautiful hotel with a beautiful view. Pics later will be shown. Before that, Bibik brought her horses to Seminyak beach, furtherdown from Kuta, with a much better waves and more beautiful and breathtaking sunset. We enjoyed riding the horses along the beach and yes, me the preggo lady with the help of two studious men, managed to get on the horse and go for one round of guided trotting!

That's Bibik and in the middle is the ever-so-cute...LIANA!
Aint she an angel?
Look how beautiful the waters run.....
And that's Zee!! Bibik's bubbly first!



....................................

And below are our proud collections of very amateur but fine shots of the beautiful Seminyak. Enjoy!

Happy Happy!

Hiak Doosh!

The beautiful Liana again. Some areas are prohibited from swimming and they put up red flags. Look at the Kaypoh Liana running towards hubby......

Im coming.....
Im nearing...........

Bam! im in the SHOT!
Monkey see Monkey do!

Oh yes. throughout the trip, i have been the source of a good laff with my toy helmet so here is a classic shot for ol'times sake ppl. Honey stop laffing....


And below are just a few shots of the hotel view we manged to capture on our last day. Boo hoo!

In fact, we still do feel sad thinking abt it. Me and hubby felt miserable leaving.....

And my last Bakso treat along Kuta Beach. Sigh Sigh....

Oh this monyet belongs to one of Zee's staff, Indah. It's sleeping and it's amazing tht it didnt fall off the bike like dat......




Most of the time spent in Bali were shopping. We didnt go to the local shops for bargaining sessions. We went for boutique sales located off Kuta, which has original apparels and at 90% discount. Hubby was like a small boy, choosing all the good stuffs. Shopping was the highlight of the trip. We were like rich ppl in Bali while the prices are lower than we thot.

Last day in Bali was terrible. The day went fine, but we felt terrible leaving. Spore is indeed a beautiful country, but chasing the Cs and power and material, we realise is not our thing. We enjoy the carefree life, appreciating Nature and the wonderful Greens.... Hubby was beginning to feel depressed coming back.... We had a great dinner at Jimbaran, Seafood by the Sea, with Bibik and Zee before we made our way to the airport. We can't believe it was over too soon.

Yup, we rode a dockar (carriage) to Jimbaran. Like how cool is that!



And here we are, at Jimbaran, our last evening in this beautiful place.....

....................................

SIGH

.................................................................



Yes, we tried our best to look happy to come back, but only God knows how we feel inside. 2-4 years time k baby? Insya allah....

And with that, we leave our trails of footsteps along Kuta, Bali. And we definitely will come back soon. And this has got to be the best FIRST trip of me and hubby. and im looking forward for more to come.

I love you Fazli

And we miss you, Bali
