Buying baby cot.

i just wanted to share my experience buying baby furniture.
since most of our bedroom furniture is white,so we're keeping the theme that way.
so baby must have white baby cot as well.no playpen!
i know playpen can be cheaper than baby cot but i can be very fussy when it comes to their designs.
so yesterday we went for furniture hunting at IKEA.
there are a few choices of wooden frame baby cot and their prices were way cheaper than those in mothercare etc.
i've never been to Baby World or Manjaku or any other baby outlets for furniture hunting,im afraid that i might spend on some other stuff and end up going to several baby outlets!!!which im too lazy for that.
i did google on the products first!so no such thing as 'pulang tangan kosong'.

here are some of the affordable ones that i personally think is quite cheap for a wooden frame baby cot!

and here are some of the a-bit-expensive cots.

not bad for IKEA furniture kan?

as usual i do have a dream cot.well..im sure some of you may came across some expensive cots kan!
tapi berangan jela nak beli!i know the baby will end up sharing beds with us soon.


here you go.Stokke Sleepi.it can be converted into few sizes.but this costs you thousands.
FORGET IT.
plus.they dont have it in white.
FORGET IT.again.


so kami berjaya membeli sebuah katil dgn harga RM369.ada design sikit so tak nampak 'cikai' sangat lah!

Key features
- The cot base can be placed at two different heights.
- Your baby will sleep both safely and comfortably as the durable materials in the cot base have been tested to ensure they give their body the support it needs.
- The cot base is well ventilated for good air circulation which gives your child a pleasant sleeping climate.

oh and the mattress is sold separately ya!
they have a range of comfy mattress as well.from RM25.90 - RM249.
again we decided to buy the one in the middle with similar quality of the expensive ones.

Key features
60x120
- Bonell springs provide great comfort and high air circulation.
- A durable mattress that can be used for a longer period of time.
- Protective foam box and feltpad for added comfort and durability.
- The cover can be machine washed which helps keep a hygienic sleeping environment for your baby.
- Both sides can be slept on, so it lasts longer.

nak tengok detail lagi pi tengok website IKEA or pi jelah IKEA terus.hehe.

May Allah place these souls in Jannah.insyaAllah amin..

in the same year, i resigned from my job in college and continued my Masters in Business Administration,UiTM shah alam.

im so grateful for all the good things that had happened last year and hoping for more good years ahead!

upmost favorite food during pregnancy.

FOOD!FOOD!FOOD!come to mommah!!
i bet some of you might have morning sickness and 'allergic' to some food during pregnancy.
as for moi,sujud syukur lah.Allah has given me such great appetite and i can even have spicy food!!
before this,i cant even had a lil bit of chili in my food.perut sensitive sangat!it is not that i dont like em but i was restricted by this sensitive tummy.sigh*the moment i realize that i can really eat spicy food,i went all crayyyzayyy!in a week i had ayam penyet for quite a number of times and ate all the sambal!gila.i know.

ouh and my first crave was for Mamee Tomyam(teknologi mi tarik).
perrghhhhh....the noodle was extra springy!!

ok dah meleleh air liur.

then came along the mangga yg masam kecil-kecil comel-comel.
then im into bihun tomyam pulak.
anything that has to do with soup+noodles.
ouh and the weird part is im starting to like ulam+sambal belacan.
kacang botol to be specific.


so kampung taste.
i dont crave much for western food.
and i dont eat cakes like i used to.
not that i dont like em anymore but i dont take big portions.

and at one point mom cooks for me kerang and siput sedut masak lemak.
hooooooooohoooiii!!!!!!boleh pengsan tau makan banyak gila!
i dont know whether they have this nutrients or anything but then the appetite!

so baby,if you happen to be choosy when it comes to food.
im still gonna force you to like em.
mommy does not have any hate in any food placed in front of her.

24 weeks

im just taking a time out from assignments which is due in few more days.a short update wont affect my assignments kan?
recently i've been experiencing this back pain. i dont really know how to position myself in bed.it took me quite sometime until i fell asleep without noticing.and yes,i'll wake up few times to reposition myself or sometimes i realize that i started snoring.that wakes me up too!!i read that its normal at this stage your nose will kembang like pumpkin and you started snoring.glad dear hubs is not here.haha!and at this point i cant reach to some parts of my body.sometimes i still try to reach things,you know you're just too lazy to stand and walk to the table but decided to just drag your body?i did that sometimes.i tend to forget that i have this belly with me now.sometimes i even pull out a chair so close to the table and got myself stuck in between!sorry baby,mommy still think that she's that slim girl she used to be.

and at this point of time,baby is already kicking and knocking.and yeah,she enjoys forcing me to go to the toilet.i mean it..FORCE!as if she's pressing my pundi kencing!go to the toilet right now mommy!!!!

now here is the latest scan we did on our last visit to the hospital around week 23 of my pregnancy:
there's quite a number of photos but mommy choose to upload your cute foot instead.
usually at this hour,baby tidur.but then the doctor decided to shook my belly since baby is not facing this side so here you go.

you've been kicking mommy and you give me that innocent face huh.
ouh i love you!

the day after yesterday.

and so i decided to continue blogging about my pregnancy(mood rajin nak blog sorang2 dah mai dah..)
i started rubbing my belly the moment i knew that i was pregnant,and i was so excited to go for my 1st checkup
even when he's not around.i have the coolest nenek in town to accompany me to see her friend who is a O&G specialist in KL.
she asked me that normal question:

Doc: when was the first day of your last period?
Me : 27/6/2013

and several other normal questions.

so she told me to lie on the bed to do some scanning.



thats the only thing that we saw.
yeah..dont worry,we saw the same thing..which was nothing.
so the doctor decided to use that microphone-like-thing to scan from..you know where!
but then again..no sign of a sac or anything.just plain blood.
i became worried.the doctor told me it could be a false alarm.meaning that im not actually pregnant.
my heart broke into pieces..seriously.i felt like crying but i just decided to keep myself quiet.avoiding myself from giving any comments or feeling of asking anything else..she said i could have this infection in my urine or something*worries even more*
she took some blood test and we need to wait for few days for the results.

i went home.not as happy as i thought it should be for some other pregnant ladies.
it was frustrating.i've been wanting to get pregnant so much.
i just got a good news yesterday and now this??
few days later,we come again.with the husband.and then again, the doctor did the same procedure.
scanning.again.nothing appears.now she said that she's worried that it could be an ectopic pregnancy.
it isnt normal.ectopic is some sort of like,you're pregnant with the baby outside the womb.which is dangerous.
great...another bad news..maybe the doctor is just giving me the worse scenario.she didnt want us to have high expectations and later if it happens to be.it will simply breaks our hearts even more.mine to be specific.
she did another blood test.she said that if the pregnancy hormones doubled,it means that everything is ok.
another blood test means another waiting session.

i can say..killing session.

hubs started calling his friend who happens to be a doctor and his mom was also a doctor,a good friend of the family.the one who came during our nikah and gave the hubs full support.ahh...its good that Allah has given us such great friends.the ones that are always there to help.the mom called and told me to come and see her.well she's just a GP(general practitioner)*not sure if its the right term*whatever*so i came in with mom few days later.and then she did the same procedure.same questions.

then the scan.


alhamdulillah..finally!!i can see something!and it is clear now!:)
i can see a tiny dot blinking,my baby's heartbeat*tears of joy*
