It's been quite a while since i updated this.......just thought i do a quick jot of a few things on my mind.....
1. We have moved house...still trying to make the house feel more like home by putting stuffs away...pretty unsuccessful on my part i think......Still havent got much progress.....well, actually have had some of the things out of the box already...but it seems there is still more to go
Update: 19th May
2. Pregnancy is going well. We are well into our 18th week now and nearing the middle point.....sickeness now is all gone for the most part unless i eat something that my tum disagrees with then i face consequences....;-)
3. Mikayla is turning 8 in a couple of weeks and i still cant believe how fast she has grown. She now has great replying antics to DH and I. I sometimes wish her tongue isnt as quick....but hey....who can complain! She is a handful to say the least!
4. Hurrah! we have a date for going home to Malaysia for a short break.....looking forward to eating all the yummy stuff to eat!

A week to moving day
Thursday....today is a week to moving day....now...it is going to be april fools' day....i sure hope that they are not fooling me when they say we get keys then!!!Else, i will be screaming at them.....
Anyways, i have called them to ask them (MDL Agents) if i could go in and have a 'viewing' to do some measurements to the rooms so i know where to place my furniture on moving day....they said yes...but i'd have to call them back...they said the flooring should be done by yesterday...now they think it's only the curtains left....so hopefully we get that done and cleaning as well......
Yesterday was also my last day at my part time job....i decided it was too much for me as i am absolutely shattered every wednesday.....come home and am extremely tired....so much so that i dont cook on weds now.....hope that i will start feeling well and stronger soon! I should be passing my 1st trimester soon!!! So, hopefully with that all my symptoms also disappear!!!so much for feeling good!!!The ladies at the playgroup were really sweet, they bought me a pot of flowers as a going away and moving home gift! So sweet!!!

Weekend is near once again!
Yay! Weekend is near! I can just smell it!!!!
Have had a rather good week! We now know when we are moving so doubly YAY!!!!!Have got most stuff confirmed, and now just waiting for B&W of the paperwork! And the wonderful part is......the floors are going to be replaced before we move in!!!! Somehow magically on Monday we got an email saying the floors were arriving at the end of this week and they will be able to install them next week....so that is WONDERFUL!!!! But i say, it must be just that the contractors and house agent must have had very itchy ears that day as i was going about how ridiculous it was coz they said the floors werent be able to be in till 1 May........so that evening the email arrived!! Sometimes i think talking about them does work!!!! ;-)
As for how i am feeling this week, it has not been too bad at all...but today i discovered that i cant stand the smell of cooked rice.....WEIRD!!! Most other things are fine......hope this feeling does not stay for long!!!! I am otherwise doing GREAT!!!
Oh yeah, yesterday i had gone for dinner with some moms from Miks class. We went to Malmaison. It was really good!!! Food and ambience was great! Unfortunately i forgot to take any pix...excuse to be back again.....so i take pix of the food and its presentation! Only complaint was parking spaces or that lack of......we ended up having to park a little further off and walking....nonetheless, good exercise....
This weekend, am part looking forward...part not sure what to feel....Miks is going to a friend's house for a sleepover.......she is very excited....i am not too sure...all really because of the skin problems she's been having lately....hopefully she will be fine...am going to send some antihistamins with her...one can only hope all will be fine.......plus the cough as well.....GAH.....just timing is not great! Can't say no to her now...coz she was promised.....

Goodbye Weekend! Hello Monday!!!
This week has been quite a week......i had been sick with the cold and stuffed up nose without being able to take anything for it. that was hard!!GAH!!!
Then on top of that, i had to be busying myself with packing up stuff for the impending house move which now looks like it may be postponed by a couple of weeks......due to the flooring not being able to be done before then.....hopefully they will have it done in a couple of weeks......so i will find out more fixed and firm details about when we are going to move by tomorrow.......*fingers crossed* it all goes well!
This past week i had also gone out with some girlfriends for a movie. We had gone to watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I had been forewarned that it will be a long movie...and indeed it was....we went for the 7.45 pm show and it did not finish until about 10.45 pm. Gosh! Were we all shattered by then...all i could do was drive myself home and then climb into bed........
Anyways, the movie was pretty interesting........we said 'at least it kept us awake' despite being extremely tired towards the end......;)
Then the weekend was spent doing more packing up....DH was doing most of the work on the weekend...as for some weird reason or another when Saturday rolls on, i get super exhausted and tired and unable to do anything.......;) So i rest most of saturday.......

Feelings of nausea
Well, it has been a week now since i have started feeling sick...i find myself at my worst in the evenings......just sick and yucky with no interest in food......Really hope it disappears sooner rather than later...although i must say that i am glad that i'm still able to get around and do things......
Had gone swimming yesterday after not exercising for too long.......but did not do too much....did not want to over exert myself.....however, that made me feel really good......the only thing is that i about got kicked out of the pool by a chinese friend of mine when she discovered i was 2 mths pregnant...she told me that she does not want to see me in the pool until i am at least 4 mths pregnant...according to her, it is not good to swim this early in pregnancy...but i say the nurse and docs probably think otherwise.....as long as i dont over do it.......i dunno...so until i go and see a doctor or nurse again, i shall stay away when she's at the pool....;-)
Miks now knows that she is going to be a big sister.....the look on her face when we told her on Sunday was priceless....in fact she said she was so happy she could not sleep that night!!!! She was totally over the moon!!! She now calls my belly "Bean" coz we told her that the baby now is only the size of a jelly bean......i wonder what will she come up with next????
Anyways, i am off now to go and catch a good movie with some girlfriends at the cinema......hopefully i stay awake for it!!!

Ah..the joys of being Pregnant
Today was probably one of the first times that i have felt pregnant....i think i am beginning to get the morning sickness syndrome......i hope that this wont last for long.....all day today have been yucky.......the feeling of nausea has not yet left me...the good thing is that i am still able to eat....the only problem is keeping it down.......at time of logging this down i just had another wave of nausea sweep by...nothing coming out...which is good...but the feeling is just terrible.....now i know how my pregnant girlfriend feels when she told me she felt very nauseated last week....that's how i feel today......
Well, this all started yesterday when i had some vanilla milkshake and apparently that did not jive well with my stomach......and out it all came after coming home from picking Miks from school.........thereafter i did not feel any better.....managing only very little dinner.....and then of course feeling really hungry late in the night.......then it did not get any better this morning coz i threw up part of my breakfast again today...which is not good........really dont hope this stays.....praying that it will go away sooner rather than later........it's odd, coz i never remember feeling like that with Miks......must be a really different child someone tells me......we shall see.......
Last night was really funny....coz since i ate so little dinner, by around 10.30pm which is bedtime i thought to myself and told hubbie that i was hungry.....he suggests that i get something to eat.....me being me i thought i could drink water and it shall all pass.....forgetting that i was preggie for that short while........however, about 1/2 hours later, i turn to hubbie who at this point was in bed with me and said " I cant sleep! I need FOOD!!!!" so off i went to get food.....which was a brilliant idea......had some bread with butter and peanut butter....YUM!!! Pure satisfaction.....something that i dont feel sick eating......then hubbie turns around and looks at me and starts to giggle....i turned to him and said, "dont you dare laugh....this is in no way funny!!!!" Turned my back and went to sleep......so much for feeling sick.......however again, i could not sleep.....due to having slept for about 3 hours earlier in the day yesterday....last nite became a nitemare........hardly any sleep...so, today i told myself...am not going to nap in the day time...let's hope i sleep tonite!!!

Getting pregnant and being pregnant

HPT # 1
Today as i sit here and write about this topic of getting preggie and being preggie, my thoughts are all over the place. But i figured since i had intended to record all my thoughts about being pregnant this time down, i had better start!
Well, you see, we have been trying for another baby now for about 6 yrs with no avail! Then about 1.5 weeks ago, we discovered that we are indeed pregnant!!!! I was so shocked and happy and suprised all at the same time that i took a total of 5 HPT's just to be sure!!!! They all obviously told me the same thing! BFP!!so that has taken a while to sink in..but now that it has, i must say my thank yous to all who have kept us in their prayers all this while. We would really like to thank the Lord for this provision which He will care for and know from the top of head to tip of toe!!!
We are all very excited! at time of writing this, Miks our 7 yr old still has no idea what is coming her way in 9 mths time! I bet she will be delighted!!! I will remember to take a picture of her when we tell her in due time!!!
Right now, i am feeling a little anxious just coz we have an early scan to determine that all is well and then we will be refered back to the GP/Midwife. The scan is to be this saturday and i am wondering how i will last till then!!! God will have to give me lotsa strength and energy to get by this week......Last week was easier just coz i have been busy with another friend who has been busy moving house! This week will be fine as well!! at least that's what i tell myself!!!!

Well, my scan on Saturday went very well and the nurse tells us that we are doing well....we have one healthy heart beating......had not managed to count the heart beats...hopefully to do it next scan...........will have to scan the scan results onto the pc then have them here.....she was ready to have me contact my GP but i said to her, since we are moving can i wait....she says yes and then offered us another scan in 2 weeks.....so we will be in again for another scan....
