WHEN BITTEN BY THE LAZY BUG

I’m in no mood to work today. So, rather than browsing the internet aimlessly, I thought I might as well channel the energy into updating the blog for a change.

Pregnancy update:
I’ve reached 20 weeks! Woo-hoo!!! However, despite the joyous mood, I can’t help but being a worry wart. I still fear that things might/ can go wrong. After the string of dramas during my first trimester, I realize how easy it is for things to go wrong and it’s not always within my control.

“Welcome to mommyhood”, exclaimed Mel. “You’ll never stop worrying. In fact, you’ll worry about your kid(s) for the rest of your life”.

Are you kid-ding me?

How very comforting. But then again, I’m beginning to see the truth in what Mel said. Funny how I get so wrapped up over matters that relate to the little beanie that’s growing in utero. The blood test came out recently. All looked good. Was a bit worried about the Down syndrome test. Alhamdulillah, result has shown that little beanie is on the low risk.

My current paranoia? Movements. I know it’s a tad early to feel any real movement, but my sis-in-law keeps telling me how she’s getting the flutters from her little one. My little beanie? Almost nada movement. Is that normal? BEM keeps reassuring me that I’ll feel his movements in no time. Quick sayang! Show me some signs! Hehehe…Soon, you’ll discover how impatient your mama can be. Be that as it may, it’s a trait I do not wish you to inherit. I’d rather you have your daddy’s patience and cool temperament. And yes, not to mention his good looks! :p I love his big brown eyes, thick eyebrows and intoxicatingly sweet smile. *Blush*

Every now and then, I poke the growing tummy. Just to irritate the tenant inside. Your mama so evil like that!!! Most of the time, little beanie is too content swimming in the warm amniotic fluid that he could not be bothered to respond. Maybe not yet.

I have another appointment with my wonderful ob-gyn this Saturday. Dr. Michael Samy is heaven sent! He’s ever so patient and accommodating. He’ll entertain all your questions, no matter how silly some of them are. Most importantly, he is not condescending. BEM adores him too.

Hopefully little beanie will cooperate during ultrasound. I want to be able to have a peep at you know what!
