Approximately 27 days to 3 months.....sigh

I am counting the days to say goodbye to my first trimester. The all day sickness is daunting. Lucky me that I'm left with only Chemistry lesson and 2 other small courses, all through November. To make this trimester speed through even faster, Izzul Baby Gift is coming up with something new real soon. Hopefully by end of November. Also busy planning for something for early next year. Hope health will be with me to keep me going and keep up to schedule.
Taking this opportunity to congratulate a friend who has taken the first step to build an online empire insyaAllah for Muslimah garments and accessories. TJ boutique offers unique array of clothes for ladies and cute dresses for your girls too. Visit her online site of TJ boutique for a better picture.

Tonight, we showed Izzul the word "Monkey" and "hyena". Then we asked him.."which one is Monkey?". He pointed to "Monkey". We thought it was plain luck or a plain Izzul trait of pointing to anything and everything. We tried again with "panda" and "swan". This time we switch the word of choice on the opposite side. He got it right again. Alhamdulillah. It's a little but I'm feeling so syukur (glad) anyway. Faith and patience, InsyaAllah.

grumpy ol' Mas

I have so many things to talk about.. we went to the zoo on Deepavali holiday, then just now I took Izzul to the wet playground. Then, I want to talk about how my nausea is killing the people around me... BUT, I'm tired. I get so tired easily these days. Even when I'm not tired, I want to sleep because of the queasy feeling in my stomach.. or somewhere there.
It's heartburn. For some people, they have morning sickness, they vomit. For myself, I just can't seem to throw it out my mouth.. So it just got stuck somewhere in between my throat and my chest.
This discomfort made a little grumpy the other day during a group discussion. But seriously, even if I was right on my opinions, I shouldn't let it get to me that way.
You know how a happy pregnancy can lead to a happy baby. That explains Izzul. I was so happy when I was carrying him. Even when my superior then, was breathing down my neck, I could just walk right pass him and give him my brightest smile. When I was 2 weeks away from my due date, I remembered he made me sit with him in the meeting room for almost 2 hours and he tormented me with unreasonable work requests and he purposely questions my commitment to the company. On that day, he almost made me cry(I was sad that he was not able to recognize the work that I contributed to the company)... but I didn't..Because I already made up my mind about leaving!
Anyway, that's history. I was really happy though when we went to the zoo the other day. I had such a great time although it did rain halfway. We managed to see all the animals still. I was so enthusiastic about the trip that I was not tired from all the walking. And I was in a long dress, mind you! We didn't plan of going to the zoo that day. it was a last minute thing and I was from my in-laws place. So, long dress was the only thing I had in the big duffel bag. So long dress it is. I'm on my school laptop, so I don't have the pic with me but I promise I'll have it asap. Hmmm, as soon as I finish my assignment due on 4th Nov :)
So looking forward for the term break!
