Now a Mummy!

I actually don’t know where to start. I’ve been typing and deleting my post few times now.

It started with the husband asking me to get ready to go to Bunut as he ‘needed to pass something to my brother’, only for me to find out that the boys & girls were throwing me a surprise baby shower!

I was in tears (happy tears, of course!) when they yelled ’surprise!’ and I saw pink, blue & green balloons!

There were lots of food, games and gifts!

I think I laughed so much from watching them playing the games that the video caught me in pain at one time! I think I was trying to breathe whilst having cramps. Erk.

I can’t decide which game was my favourite- they modelled baby outfits made of newspaper, tried to put on diapers blindfolded and tried to guess the size of my belly using the lenght of a ribbon (i am actually smaller than they thought! haha.).

As I didn’t come prepared, i.e. I had no camera with me (I even left my hp in the car!), I don’t have any photos with me right now and will have to wait till everyone else show me their photos (hint hint husband. hehe.).

I, however, brought back the beautiful scrapbook they made me and took some photos of it.

except for this. the photos were taken when i decided to tell them all. hence, ‘the big announcement’.

If you guys can read the title of the LOs and have access to my protected posts, you will notice that the write-ups were actually my posts on my pregnancy- they have scrapped them! I was thinking of doing the same but now that they have done it for me, I just have to scrap the missing posts yeah Thanks guys! I really, really like it- all of them and I heard there are more LOs to come, right? Hehehehe

Oh, besides the scrapbook and the other baby gifts, I also received what they called ‘Apple Tree’, where everyone who were there today wrote an apple note for my baby. I only managed to read 2, I think, before I started crying. When Jim read few more outloud after that, I started crying again. Haha. I think I’ll read them all again when my hormones are under control, okay? Hehe.

Anyhoos boys & girls, thank you soooo much for it! In Jim’s words, ‘yes, I do love you more now’. Haha. To the husband, babu, bapa, the siblings & Jats- thank you soooo much as well. Semua komplot! Hehehehehe.

Lots & lots & lots of love

i’ve been getting contractions but because they are still far apart and infrequent, i thought it was braxton hicks but apparently it wasn’t.

it’s just ‘getting ready’.

there are still many things to do. i haven’t finalised my handover folder for my colleague as she will be leaving for korea this weekend first. my boss will also be away, so i will be running the unit ALONE. it will probably be funny if i deliver next week and no one is around. haha.

the other colleagues were thinking of putting together a plan ‘just in case’ THE time happens to be in the office.

i also haven’t moved my scrapping things to Bunut and stock up from Shabby during their sale.

i also need to pop by ML’s place to make new glasses.

i still need to get steriliser, bottle warmer and bedding for the cot.

i think that should be it.

oh, maybe i need to stock up on dvds for confinement but i’m sure the boys & girls can do that for me :p (skalinya terliat pun nda!)

aaaah. so many things to do. I still need to practise my breathing. Alum lagi confident :S
