37 Weeks - The Baby Shower

My dear bundle of joy,

Since our last hospital appointment, I have been counting your movements and I must say you are quite active. Between 9am to 5pm (mummy's working hours), you move about 12 to 15 times. That does not include your active movements in the middle of the night. Even your daddy felt you kicking at 4 in the morning on Saturday night. He gently whispered to you to go back to sleep. You must be making your appearance soon coz mummy is having difficulty sleeping at night and also having dreams of you already being here.

Your Orang Putih Sasat Mummy and Aunties


Our Sunday was a blast, your Auntie Gail threw us a surprise baby shower with a little help from your grandma, uncle azim, auntie Sue, auntie hazel and your daddy. Your Uncle Azim made a date with mummy to have lunch and do some baby shopping a week before, which is not out of the ordinary but mummy thought she smelt something fishy when your daddy remembered my lil'date with your uncle Azim. And apart from that, your uncle azim who is always an indecisive and a very go-with-the-flow person surprisingly had the day all planned out. We had lunch at Country patch, which my dear daughter will be our little breakfast place when you arrive coz its nice and cosy. Mummy had a yummy sandwich and a scone which was delish! We then made our way to Mothercare and your Uncle Azim bought you an Ergonomically designed Grooming Set and some Pink Booties. So basically your uncle azim wants you to always look good with great shoes! hehehe...Our final stop was Hua Ho Manggis Mall where we just browsed around. Mummy was getting quite tired and cranky (as your uncle azim put it) so we made our way home. We got home to see your Grandma's car and your Auntie Gail's car in the driveway. Hah! Suspicions confirmed. And so that is why they all wanted mummy out of the house for the afternoon. Your Grandma, auntie gail and auntie Sue put up balloons and set the table up with yummy desserts. It was chocolate heaven~ Alai Umar was there to surprise mummy. He's a handsome lil'devil with beautiful eyes. Auntie Intan and Auntie Dian were also there to surprise mummy too. It was so sweet of them to come. Daddy was also in it all along but stayed out of the way when your aunties were preparing the food. Your Auntie Hazel called and apologized for not being able to come as she had a wedding to attend and your Auntie Mel sent over a yummy cake for the shower...which Auntie Gailey dug into with her finger...hehe..Around sixish, your auntie Yanti came over to join us.

All in all, it was a great day with the girls (i.e. your aunties). Sometimes its just great to have a girly day with your girlfriends. I hope you'll grow up being able to find a great bunch of girlfriends like mummy has. Your Auntie Gailey is such an angel for hosting the baby shower and I'm very much honoured since it was her first time hosting an event...hehe.. and she did a great job!

Mummy has to go work now...Love you sweetums!
