Indeed a surprise

Nope, no photos for this post. Because...I'm talking about bras. Unless you are interested in taking a peek at my 'grand-ma' undergarments, I'd rather leave it to your imagination..:-D.

Surprisingly, with this pregnancy, I didn't need to re-vamp my entire lingerie wardrobe (not as if I have one...just sayin'). Well, I see that as a good sign...err...or is it??

Anyway, if I had to urm, you know, make changes in the first instance, I'd probably be getting those cheap bra sets i.e pasar malam types...hahaah....since I won't be using them for very long (or at least I hope I won't need it on a long term basis), I might as well get those instead of the more durable expensive ones. But, as it turned out, I didn't have to so...lucky me, eh??!! :-D

Pre-occupied

with many things...

- tummy

- picking a "nice" date for induction

- and hoping I don't really need to (be induced)

- necessities

- Ashley and the fact that she will not be with me during the daytime for the next 2 weeks or so (to adjust)

- horrible confinement : hot, sweaty, sticky, yucky...I can go on and on

- missing my tennis action (hahah...that is even a concern! IT is..)

- the need for barcode scanners (not sure why but it sure sounds like somebody needs them)

- and you know, just the usual feelings of nervousness, anxiety and cold feet...much like your wedding day but only this time, with physical pain.

If all these didn't get to me months earlier, it sure is getting to me now...how I hate feeling this way..*sigh*

The other side of Ash

Have I ever mentioned that Ash is a really cheeky baby?

Well, she is. And sometimes, urm...make that most of the time, when I am angry or being stern with her, I have to turn my face the other side to laugh (and try to do it as discreetly as possible).

She also seem to know when she has done something wrong and she'll try to distract me by smiling ever so sweetly as if to say "mmm...don't be angry lerr" whilst moving her head slightly from left to right...right to left. It's so hard to keep from laughing at her antics but I try my hardest to keep a straight face. Usually I'd succeed but there were times where I failed and she'd burst out laughing too.

Looks like another parenting lesson for me - to master the art of pretending with my kids..heheh..much easier than deciphering the various Ferrari parts, no?

Alright, below is a sequence of shots I took of Ash being..err...her cheeky self :-D

A quick one

With my days being numbered, I need to get my big butt moving.

Clothes and cloth nappies are still stacked away, washing detergeant not purchased, steamer hasn’t been found, glass or plastic bottles, breast pump hasn’t been collected (I know Mott - I'm guilty as charged!) , baby cot isn’t cleaned, mozzie netting is collecting dust.

What have I been doing during the times when hubby was on leave? PROCRASTINATE that’s for sure. I will have to force it upon hubby one of these days to get all those things ready since I can’t move much (it’s mostly an excuse but you know, sometimes, it’s good to have the men do their bit…after all, in a couple of weeks’ time (and what will be a long time coming) I will be the one having to endure all kinds of pain there is out there.

Besides, did you know, my confinement lady has bailed? Well, she has. Now, I've gotta go find another which will be no easy task. I mean, it isn't impossible, just that I won't be left with a myriad of choices. We'll see how it goes. Otherwise, it's Plan B for me (yeah, I actually did have a Plan B for eventualities like these...lol)

So, you see, being a mom isn't so easy. You are better off sticking to your programming jobs. I'm just sayin' ;-)
