A Little Surprise

We got a little surprise when we went home last February. A few days after we arrived home in Malaysia, I was feeling tired easily and initially
brought it down to the terrible heat back home. Then came along other symptoms that made me think otherwise. I bought a really cheap stick which came back positive. That came as a big shock but I was not entirely convinced and so I bought a more expensive kit and once again it showed ;

Fast forward today, I am already 17 weeks and I can’t believe I will be nearly halfway through my pregnancy soon. I had a couple of scans done by my colleagues at work and so far baby is growing well, Alhamdulillah.

First trimester was a little bit more challenging than my previous pregnancy. But the apetite and energy has improved a lot now though I still get exhausted easily at the end of the day.

The belly is so much bigger than the last too. I remember with Aidan, I wasn’t showing until my 24th week but this time round, I have started using my maternity work trousers since the 12th week of pregnancy. I am so glad I was very wise and bought really good quality clothes from M&S and M&P the last time. As for the new baby, it seems we don’t really have to buy anything apart from new bottles. Aidan had plenty of neutrals when he was born; the Moses basket, the baby bath, the car seat and the quinny still looks like new, and the breast pump is still in good working order. I am glad we didn’t give anything away after Aidan. Hehe. The rest I think I will only start worrying when the baby comes out

Aidan still has no clue he’s going to be a big brother soon. His tantrums is very much less nowadays as I’ve learned to anticipate and can now sense when a big meltdown is coming up. I think I was too hard on him before and that was why things escalated beyond our control.

Well, finally I’ve got it out of my system. I love looking back at my previous entries when I was pregnant with Aidan that I should probably do the same for this baby. You’ll probably hear more ramblings from me in the next few months.

Anyway, next week my brother in law and family are coming over so I think we will be quite busy entertaining them. Then we will be off for a short break to celebrate Aidan’s second birthday. I will try and blog in between if I get the chance.

Till then, have a good weekend!
