Weird..Sweet... Adorable!

It's 24 Dec already! Finally time for the much awaited KL trip. Back from the trip, it will only be 2 days away from my parents return. Woohoo!!
I had my check up last Monday and everything was great. Did I tell you I had a hunch about my baby's gender? Yeah, well my gynae had his hunch too but he said it is better for him to wait for the detailed scan.
Something really weirdly sweet happened yesterday. As usual, it is really difficult to put on his diapers and clothes after a bath. But yesterday, he was adamant to get away from me. The moment he got out of the bathroom, he ran around the room and then he peered himself in the cupboard mirror. Before I could finish imagining the worse that can happen at that moment, I saw him doing just that - peeing into the cupboard. I didn't know why but I broke down. I guess I was just feeling really tired and now I had to clean up the entire cupboard and make it to my brother's place by 7pm.
So Izzul seeing me cry, he stopped all his nonsense and came up to me. He watched me crying silently and then he went over to the table and picked up my hubby's glasses and pushed it to my face. When he saw I didn't do anything, he looked around and picked my glasses on the side of the bed and forced me to wear. He must have thought that wearing the glasses will stop my crying. I couldn't help but laugh and hug ever so tightly my very 'nakal' but adorable baby Izzul.

Just feel like putting up some of Izzul's recent pic... but not his latest. He just got his haircut. There goes my Zac Efron. ha!

IMM fiasco/fun

Spent more than 2 hours at IMM this afternoon. The last week had been quite on the low for both of us and I really pity him because he is all alone with no one to play with. There's me but with the age gap thing going on and carrying a week 14 tummy is really not helping me to be in any mood for play. But I had to try. He had a blast at the wet playground while I had a terrible time at Giant. He made me chase him all around and he gleefully ran away from me as if it's just another 'chasing' game at home. No point forcing him onto his stroller because somehow he can squeeze himself out from it.
At the moment that I needed him the most to remain active, he went limp on me. He slept in the cab on the way home. Seriously it was such a short distance but he must have been so beat that he slept while seated. So with 2 big giant plastic bags, the stroller, the diaper bag and Izzul asleep, I dragged myself back to the house. From that moment onwards, I believe I have what it takes to be a Superwoman.
On a serious note, he may not have come with anyone to the playground but being so easy-going, he mingled easily with other kids. I was really happy to see he enjoyed himself. So happy that I was still left wth some energy to do dinner... sigh...

Ends this year(2008)

It's the holidays and I don't have time to blog. How am I feeling now a week later? A little better now that I'm seeing Izzul getting along pretty fine. Keeping myself busy with Ez's family. I have really been unfair to my hubby who is trying so hard to make things fine for me. I was so upset about my parents gone for the months that I didn't mention anything about him suprising me with a bouquet of roses and a cute black cat with hearts all over it. It was our anniversary a day before my parents flew off. I came home and my mum told me that I got a present from someone. I totally forgot it was our anniversary. So sweet of him. Last year, I didn't get him anything because I was in my confinement. This year, a week before the day, I wanted to get him something he has always wanted but I can't surprise him coz it is a little too expensive so I had to seek permission from him. So now, he said, that can wait. I really should do something for him right? Pre-Izzul days, I love making things for him. Cards, Picture frames... he still have them from way back in 2002 up on his wall in his room at his mom's place. Sure bring back memories.
Oh and he still has this test tube with jelly in them and there's macaroni letters spelled his name stuck in it. Olin, you might remember this one. I did this in your hostel room. Hehe...
Actually i wanted to blog about how me and my son got stomach flu the last few days. Vomitting and diarrhoea - really bad. It was really terrible. But then, my blog needs lightening up.

Away to Mekka

I know they are gone for a good cause. But I just can't help myself. My tears were streaming like tap water. I didn't want to talk to anyone or I will just breakdown. But what is it that makes me so sad? Well, for one, they have always been there for me. I mean, they never go off for holidays just on their own because my father don't like the idea. Or go anywhere out of Singapore for anything longer than 2 days. He likes to go off for a holiday as a family. SO for the last 26 years, they have been there always. As for me,I have never travelled far enough- long enough. So, they are always within reach. Now that I've moved out, they are just a traffic light away.
And my mum is like my helpline. Trouble in the kitchen, household matters or with Izzul, I just dial her number. She's always at home.
And if I'm not schooling or have free day, Izzul and me will laze around till noon before making plans with my mum to go shopping.
The problem with me is that I treat her more than a mum. To me, she is a friend that I hang with. As sad as that sounds, that is me. I love spending time with her. Especially at 4pm when we have our teatimes. It's girls talk.
And Izzul........ how he must feel... Seeing him hug my mum and dad, I can see how much he will miss them.
Ok, i gotta go before i start streaming again.

Little hands and feet

Had my first check up earlier this morning. I went alone because Ez had to work and my parents are waiting for relatives from Melaka to arrive. It was just me and the Doc. It was a different scene from the first time I went to scan Izzul. It was a big event for everyone then.
Anyway, I decided to take up a different gynae this time around. At first, I had my reservations and was ready to jump back to my safe ol gynae but fortunately, this Doc is great. Nice and friendly.
He did ultrasound scan for me and there he/she is. So adorable!!! He/She is kicking around so actively and almost jumping. With cute little hands and feet all formed. Alhamdulillah, weight and everything else is well.
Looking at the baby, I have a hunch about the gender ;)
