Week 22

My dear lil'peanut,

Before mummy starts blabbing on about nonsense (which u will read one day when u can understand the English language and when u can read for that matter), mummy needs to apologize for not finding time to sit down and write to you. Mummy's got the 'bestest' excuse ever!

Your Auntie Zee will be getting hitched this month, so mummy has been incredibly busy helping her with preparations. The first function will be this sunday, August 3rd, followed by the nikah ceremony on the 8th, the berbedak ceremony on the 9th and bersanding on the 10th. So, as you can see, its not that mummy has forgotten you (How can I when u've been kicking like crazy recently), but mummy has been sorting out stuff for the wedding and also because of mummy putting weight on like theres no tomorrow, i've been designing all sorts of "bajus" to wear for the wedding that will last me through raya. Not an easy job. I just wonder how and when do pregnant mothers make their raya bajus when they just keep on expanding. Anyhoo, mummy and daddy have decided raya will be celebrated on a down-low for us this year. So mummy has just made a couple jubah-dress outfits that will do.

As for you munchkin, I was abit worried earlier this month when I was suppose to feel "flutters" in my stomach as a sign of your kicking but I wasn't really sure until July 10th during lunch time, while daddy was taking his lunch time nap and mummy was beside him just resting, then suddenly "Pow Boom Pang" (mummy exagerate sikit lah ah!) I finally felt u kicking like a crazy horse! hehehe....From then onwards, you normally have a kicking session during my lunchtime rest and around Maghrib time (Tanda tanda kan sembahyang kah tu, when u get out? Aminn). I also realize when mummy has anything chocolatey, u also start kicking afterwards. Atu guaranteed hyper..hehehe...sorry peanut, nyaman bah chocolate atu :) plus mummy only has it once a week...errmmm, for energy ...(mummy's excuse..hehehe). The other day, during lunch, while mummy was resting, u started kicking as usual, skali daddy started singing his latest favourite song and you actually stopped...awww..he sang you to sleep. Get used to daddy's voice also kay peanut and always listen to him. Daddy always knows best.

Last weekend, mummy did her rounds of sending invitations to ur aunties & uncles, and it seems like it was very much a 'rezeki' day for mummy. First, Ur auntie Fau gave me some maternity tops and pants then we made our way to Auntie Imah's in Kota Batu and she was so kind to give me a-garbage-bag- full of maternity clothes. Okay okay, so its mummy's rezeki but urs too coz auntie Imah was so nice to give mummy this little foldable bed for you and some baby blankets. I think your bottom-drawer of stuff is increasing darling....Yayyy!!!

As for your gender, at the last ultrasound, because mummy didn't drink enough water (Take note that 2 and a half glasses is not enough) the doc said she wouldn't tell me even if she knew coz its too early to tell. Apparently there have been expecting mothers who were informed wrongly, about 80% , so we are still not sure if ur a girl or boy. I guess mummy will hafta paint the nursery brown...then again, most probably mummy will take a trip to Yayasan to meet Dr.Ding to get an ultrasound done there, in 3D nonetheless, and we'll tape it on a DVD for you to see when u are bigger.

So, my growing peanut, its time for mummy's trip to the loo again. U take care my sweetums and continue growing into a healthy baby kay...Love u loads.
