4 days till Miks is 8

It is officially 4 days till Miks is 8! She cant wait!! I wished she was not growing up so quickly.....

Anyways, we've got all the stuff for her party ready planned....she is going to have a ceramics painting party this saturday...she is absolutely looking forward to it! Me? am not sure...coz this saturday is a busy day for us! Birthday party in the morning, wedding ceremony to attend in the afternoon and a wedding reception in the evening....i know that by saturday evening, i will be absolutely shattered! Also this week is an exciting week coz this week on Friday we will be have our 20 week scan.....cant wait to see how much the little one has grown......I've always been very blessed as to not have my tum turn to weird shapes due to bubs moving about.....but sometimes that is worrying too......coz i dont feel movements very often.....but however, it's when i least expect it when i get a jab here and a flutter there.......

Latest Update: 28th May 2009

Today is exactly the day before Miks turns 8! She is really excited!!! that just means i got more to be done!!! I almost forgot to order her cookie cake!! Man! that would be a disaster!!!! But however, i did it... it is now on order and will be picked up tomorrow at the cookie place at the mall........everything else should be in place before the end of today....i hope.....i might have to head to Costco again though tomorrow....we'll have to see.....will update on how the day goes!

Got my day planned ahead...got to go to 3 different places just to try to get everything together.....will soon head out!

As for pregnancy, it is getting exciting these days....since i bought a fetal doppler, i have been having fun trying to locate where this baby is laying.....it is now getting easier to hear the heartbeats....initially was quite tricky.....this baby likes to hide from the doppler.......
Yay! tomorrow also marks 20weeks into the pregnancy and we will be having a detailed scan...and no we are not planning to find out what sex is the baby....we'll take what God gives us and let it be a wonderful suprise despite Miks protests......she really wants to know.....but we tell her its going to be a suprise!!!

10 days to Miks 8th birthday

Today marks 10 days to Miks 8th birthday....it seems it is not getting any easier raising a girl at this age......all she wants is to do what she wants and not what we want her to do!!! I wonder when that will pass......She definitely a person of her own mind......
The other day when she got masd at me for not allowing her to watch tv or play the computer, she decided to stomp upstairs to her room and says to me " I AM NOT COMING DOWN FROM MY ROOM NOT UNTIL DINNER TIME!!!!" So i in reply said to her, "Well, suit yourself" but minutes later i hear her stomping down the stairs saying..." oops i forgot to bring something up" I had to giggle at this.....she was adamant about not coming down and she realised that she had to just minutes later to collect something from downstairs.......she is quite a character....however after all that she did go back upstairs again.....just to come down for a quick dinner....by then she had calmed down and did not bother to be mad anymore......
Right now as i type this post, she is downstairs i bet trying to concentrate on homework which has to be done but her mind is already on the TV which again i have forbidden her to turn on until after homework is done......cruel you may think...but once that thing is turned on, i cant get her away from it...that's why i do what i do!!!
Every year for her birthday i always have a suprise for her...last year i took her to a manicure and pedicure....just to get her nails looking pretty....this year she has again ask for another suprise...but she said, can it not be nails again????i want something else......i said to her, so what would you like? Anyways, i said to her as well, if i told you what the suprise was, it wont be a suprise after all......but i do have something up my sleeve this year and i bet she will be really really pleased with it! Will not reveal for now.....maybe after her suprise is known to her......
