Officially 26 Years Young

Hi all,

I have just recently celebrated my 26th years birthday on the 28th September, last Saturday. It was a nice small celebration with my husband and my parents.

Basically in the morning, I wake up to get ready for work then my husband made me a surprise Pancake breakfast. He did this twice now for the past 2 years. Last year when we were in UK he also make a surprise Pancake breakfast!

Then when I finish work and come home, he got me pretty red roses (love it so much!!!) and a Maternity Pillow. Oh my gosh, those pillow are the most expensive pillow I ever gonna use! It cost RM299!!! What the holy crap! It's just a freaking pillow. Why so mahal? LOL!!!

Anyway, then at night we went to Mai Yai (Thai Restaurant) in Waterfront. Ordered Green Curry (sooooo sedapppp!!!) also order the famous Crispy Kangkung and the Fish with Mango Salad. Super sedap. Eat so much until I cannot walk hahahaha.

 Birthday Cake! So...  the edges were slightly destroyed because James was too hungry LOL!!!

Then reach home had my birthday cake! My husband special order from Pastel & Cream. The topping of the cake was Japanese Theme!!! It was decorated with Sushi made of Icing!!!! It's madness. Sugar rush terus. Gila babs!!! It was super awesome cake. The flavour is Lemon with Poppy Seed (its the same flavour as our Wedding Cake) we just love Pastel & Cream cakes. They are the best :)

I also received Ang Pau from my parents, my sister & her husband, and then a huge Ang Pau from my Parents-in-Law from UK -too generous of them!!! thank you so much!!! it will be put to good use for our new house :)

Baby Bump is getting obvious! Maybe I just ate too much hahaha!

Well besides that, baby is doing just fine. I am so curious to see how he looks like now. Might arrange for an early ultrasound to see his development. My baby belly bump is starting to show. It's still hard to tell if people not know that I'm pregnant, it may look like I just had a super big meal :P

By the way, I want to take this opportunity to Thank everyone who had wish me for my Birthday! My mobile phone and Facebook were flooded with love and wonderful wishes! Thank you all :)

Until next time!

Pregnancy: Week 9

Here's me at Week 9 still very small bump. I don't look pregnant at all. On Saturday morning, we went to register with a Medical Center for Antenatal. My uncle Dr. Ramesh in Rafflesia Medical Centre will be documenting my pregnancy progress and will be the one *finger's crossed* able to deliver my baby.

For the first time, James and I got to hear our baby's heart beat! It was strong and fast. The moment we hear our baby's heart beat, our hearts just melted away. It was quite a remarkable experience for both of us :)

Our next review will be in end of October. Can't wait to see our little fella's progress!

Baby Boy Nursery Inspiration

Well, I'm not sure how much I should be trusting my "maternal instinct" at this point. Somehow I got that strong feeling it's gonna be a boy. But James hope it's a girl, so he can name her Samantha! Lol!!!

As for me, if it's a boy, I want to name him Noah Alexander. And I'm gonna make sure he'll grow up to be a Vet. I have this "Marketing Plan" for him. It's called the Noah Ark Vet hahaha i'm serious! Gonna start saving up for this education to be a Vet!!! :)

So I was browsing the internet and this photo caught my attention! I love it so much! Hope we get a place soon so I could get my hands dirty to make the baby's room.

There's 10 more inspiration like this if you'd like to see. Here's the link:  http://www.babble.com/latina/10-baby-boy-nursery-inspiration/clouds-in-the-sky/

Week 8 Baby Bump

Here's my first Official Baby Bump Photo

Week 8

Weight before baby: 56kg

Weight at 8 Weeks: 58kg

Pregnancy: Week 4 - Week 7

Spot the little fella in this picture. He's only 4 weeks old!!!

Being a first time mommy will definitely change my entire life. Like seriously, my ENTIRE life. I know things will start to change and it's gonna start with my body. Honestly, I sometimes do feel scared about it. The few things that has been running through my mind:

1. Will i choose to go for natural birth or the c-section? Water birth is being considered as an option too.

2. Will we make it in time to get our own house before the baby arrives?

3. Is the baby going to be healthy and normal?

4. Will i be able to cope between work and baby at the same time? Can I bring my baby to work?

5. Should i be considering Baby Insurance? I read about PRUmyChild insurance. Any idea if its worth it?

6. Is there other Insurance I should be considering? Since medical fees these days cost a fortune!

...and other stuffs. 

 The little one is developing fast at this stage. He is week 6 and 6 days here.

I have been blessed with no morning sickness. But once in a while, I do feel like vomiting when some meals that didn't quite go well in my tummy. Normally its oily food that makes me sick these days. But overall, the baby has been good to me. No cramps and things like that.

As for my cravings, it's quite random. At somedays, I feel like nasi lemak. Then sometimes just junk food like those expensive imported potato chips. Just last week I crave for sushi and had a safe amount for dinner. Then I crave for cakes. Then I crave for kiwis. Then blueberries. Mostly all in small tiny portions. I can't eat full meal these days. But, its been all good :)

As at today, we have exactly 5 weeks to go and then will be in the Second Trimester! Wooohooo. Yeahhhh baby!!! Continue to be good to your mommy ok? Love you loads! Can't wait to see you next year hehe :P

And James, you are the most patient man I have ever met. Honestly, I don't know what I will do without you. Thank you for understanding what I am going through... even if you are just pretending!!! keep it up :P Because i love you for trying. Muuuakksss!!!

Love,

Stella Matilda - The First Time Mommy

We're Gonna Be PARENTS!

Hey all,

Good news!!! We're 7 weeks pregnant!!!

I'm guessing for not posting my X45 Fitness crazy workout these days could have given it away haha. But yeah, since I found out I was pregnant I had to stop X45 cause the workout is pretty hardcore.

So these day I go for my normal Workout just outside my house doing BodyTone workout and Yoga classes.

I found out I was pregnant when I was at week 4 actually. We have been trying for almost 3 months. Coming off Yasmin takes a while for my hormones to get to normal again. So finally after 3 months of trying we finally made it! Hey, I'm not complaining about the "trying" bit at all by the way ;)

We're really excited to start this new life of parenthood!!!

Right now, our main focus is starting up our family. So everything else is kinda on hold right now including the magazine and our holiday plans.

James just started his new job at Sayfol International School as a Primary 4 Teacher. I am so proud of him. Teacher is such a noble career and it really suit him because he's the most helpful, kind-heart and patient man I have ever met. Plus, it has always been his passion to teach. I could sorta imagine him teaching our kids one day in the same classroom. It's gonna be awkward and sooooooo funny at the same time.

As for my pregnancy, I have been blessed with no morning sickness. I guess all the healthy lifestyle like working out everyday and eat healthy helps alot.

Until next post, take care and have a great week ahead :)
