Pootz In Boots
Mine is a life worth living and if I could turn back the clock, I would play the same scene at the same speed with the same players... regrets? Of course I have some but that adds the colours to this life..

I am 13+weeks pregnant
Contrary to popular beliefs, conventions and thoughts, I was tested positive on 20th January 2011 (Thaipusam Day), as carrying a foetus inside my womb, at that point, for 8 weeks already!
My fourth time and third time in 6 years... heheheh... I was clinically labeled temporary infertile for 6 years after Haakem was born and this second half of my 12 years marriage definitely is proven otherwise. Alhamdulillah, Masya Allah.
I have been clockwork regular for the past 2 years, and when I missed my monthly visitor in December, I started to panic and another one in January made me rushed to the pharmacy (well, not quite, I was pestered by J and N, to have it checked) and morning 20th January 2011 I had that confirmed! I sms'd Hubby, J & N and my eldest sister. Praise to Allah, they are all happy about it, including dumbfounded Hubby.
Haakem was next, followed by my sisters and later - close friends, colleagues at the office (the whole news breaking process took almost a month) and FB friends. I had a problem breaking the news to Mak Yah since she was adamant not to have any more but of course she is now okay about it. I understand she is only concern on who shall take care of my baby as a good helper is hard to come by and the one we have now is an absolute no-no for little infants.
And as I write this, I have completed my 13th week and 2 days into my 14th.
I am scheduling my first clinic visit sometimes next week or in March, as usual, blood test and MGTT and registration at HUKM (I shall stick to HUKM although I am not too happy about its check-ups and tests) but I didn;t have a hard time the last time. BSP readings (meaning more blood collections, at least 4 times by 4 days).
I hope all is well this time, just like when I had the other 3 and that my labour and delivery is as smooth as with Zara's.

One Year Gap? Let's Break That Bad Habit.
I haven't been updating my blog for ages... well, a year and 6 days to be exact.Another wedding anniversary was celebrated in the presence of loved ones (plus Bibik since I do not want to leave her at home. This is the new Bibik, not Suciati...that is a long story).A lot has happened since my year old post.
Let me list the important ones and hope I do not forget any:
1. I was up and down KL, Penang, Lumut for most of the days in the week(s) since January 2010;
2. My trustworthy Bibik Suciati had a stroke on 15/3/2010, 2 days after we renewed her passport and her work permit. She was hospitalised at HUKM for 9 days, never losing consciousness but her left side was paralysed. Hubby sent her back to Surabaya and she's now recovering at her hometown;
3. We had 1 temp maid for 2 months and another temp maid who has now served us for almost 10 months. We are still looking for a proper one;
4. I start working on a 5 day week routine since 15th July 2010;
5. I started to be involved in a new mega (and controversial) project the company is now pursuing;
6. Hubby is finally settled in KL, with no outstation postings starting June 2010, so, we are now a normal family;
7. I had a salary increment, not much but enough;
8. My kids are growing well;
9. I turn 40!
10. Haakem is in Year 6 and is now the Head Prefect for the 88 pupils' school;
11. Kamaliah (Millie) started pre-school at Haakem's and the school still has 10 vacancies, yes, no salary limit applicable;
12. Zara is going to have a baby brother/sister in August 2011, how's that? (Err... I shall still be only 40 when that happens, thank God for that).
