Sunday Drive

The Outlet at Bridgewater Park

It was wet, cold and windy over the weekend but that didn’t stop us from going out.

We made a quick stop at a friend’s house in North Dublin where she prepared a yummy meal of nasi ayam and 30 minutes later we were on our way to The Outlet at Bridgewater Park, Northern Ireland.

As I am only down to only one pair of jeans, I made my way to Gap looking for one that wouldn’t burst my budget. I really love the fact that the pound is getting weaker against the Euro and you can get some pretty good deals for below a tenner! I remember my mother-in-law getting a pair of jeans at Marks for only £4.99 which is definitely a steal. Heheh

The shops

These photos were actually taken during our last trip here months and months ago but I only decided to put them up now.

We drove back to Dublin that night and had kebab in one of the turkish diners in town.

It was a Sunday well spent.

ps: you’ll probably see less updates in the coming weeks as I have to study for a Paediatric course lined up for end of November

Made in Paris

LV Paris

I am ever so glad that the first trimester is well over !

I had a dating scan a few weeks ago and the little baby appears to be growing well. As to date, I am 14 weeks along and it seems that he/she is ‘Made in Paris‘ ( just like the famous LV! )

The scan above shows our baby at around 10++ weeks and you can just about see the hands. The head and body can be clearly seen too.

Working in a hospital has it’s advantages as colleagues are ever so willing to do a scan when they are free. I have yet to have a proper and formal assessment! Hopefully soon.

Physically, I am feeling a little better – nausea comes and goes but the tiredness still lingers especially when I am postcall. The belly is making it’s little debut though not entirely obvious and my pants are becoming a little snug around the waist. At the moment I am down to only one pair of jeans!

Although this pregnancy came unexpectedly, we are ever so thankful to Allah. Alhamdullilah.

I hope and pray the second trimester will be an enjoyable one, so here’s a toast to the first trimester!
