sick during pregnancy

..is very2 challenging...

I have been having the flu n coughing n on off fever since last friday. Wish I could telan ubat as I normally do..but the first time I tried to take panadol on saturday, - realized little A was a bit pasif inside..so I dare not to take the panadol again eventho the doctor said its ok to take.

Bbmed with my dear farah, n she told me to take honey with warm water.n alhamdulillah my fever went down.leaving me with only my flu n cough. Tried to take lemon with honey. But no effect what so ever- even so still taking until now sbb tahu batuk mmg tak hilang camtu jer kan..

Went for a quick n very2 near to home getaway with mr hubs on sunday for our anniversiary but ended up sleeping in the room because I was so sick. Poor hubs. But he did manage to make me cry. Happy tears eyhh..bukan sad2 one..didn't expect anything from him, so it was a really sweet surprise for me! Thanks abang!! Ur simply the best!!!

Yesterday, went for my checkup..baby sihat..alhamdulillah..seronok dengar lil a's heart beating..nurse cerita, she started having the flu,coughing n on off fever just like me when she was in her 30week (just like me!) And it lasted until she deliverd!!!!! OMG!!!! Rase cam nak nangis dengar...pembawakan budak katanya. Hmmmm...

Cannot stand the headache everytime I cough..so went to see doctor (panel clinic) coz tot it'll be better for me to stay home until I get better.. He gave me antibiotics, but so scared to take-i was told earlier that try to avoid any kind of pils.. Googled up info about the medcine. Turns out safe for pregant ladies but still not convinced..wanted to call mom ask for advice (she's in pahang for kursus) but coulnd reach her.

So, texted dear trusted n beloved friend, dennis, who's a pharmasist (betul ke eja eyh? Huhuh) in HKL, she told it was safe..hehe..

Took the antibiotics today. Btw. Now at home. On medical leave. Very2 terrible headache coz been lying down the whole dayyyyyyy(I am even lying down right now.blogging using my bb..tu yg ayat cam ape2 jerrr)...but if gerak bnyk sket jer semputt...tgk tv pun sakit kepala...hmmmm...

Tomorrow back to work..but still feeling ok..hope the super sejuk AC kat ofis wouldn't make my batuk worst..Its hard for me to sleep already..(Done all the sapu vicks depan belakang, tinggikan bantal- nothing works..even kipas pun at satu je..letak dua trus sakit dada..)..if it get worst..hmm...taktau laa deennnn...

Doakan saya cepat2 sembuh ye semua... ;) insyaAllah...

breastpump

I plan to breastfeed my baby. as long as possible. insyaAllah.



at first I was contemplating whether or not to get a breastpump before I deliver since a friend of mine told me to get my breastpump only when I want to start working.



but after reading countless of forums and views from experienced working moms and also this article about why a breastfeeding mother need a breast pump, I've decided to buy a breastpump beforehand.



and so the research on breastpump began. I literally got a headache after reading all the reviews, comparing all the prices only after one day of research!! I strongly smell of Minyak Cap Kapak at the end of the day. There were so many brands, so many types, so many prices, so many opinions.



my initial plan on buying the cheapest just went down the drain. ye laa. I could be stingy about certain things, but I guess this one I have to consider investing a bit coz I surely dont want any torn tissue or having to buy the breast pump 2-3 times or whatever.



after 2 days of research and hours of readings, I've come down to this:



best/famous brands : Avent, Medela, Ameda, Spectra



BP types : Manual, Single Electric Pump, Double Electric Pump



price range : RM219 - RM2k (crazy eyh!!!)



and here are the ones I might consider buying.

Manual



Philips Avent ISIS Manual Breast Pump

RM219







Medela Harmony Manual Breastpump

RM269






Electric - Single Pump



Avent ISIS IQ UNO Breast Pump

RM695





Spectra 3 Electric Breast Pump

RM388





Medela: Swing Breastpump with 2-Phase Expression

RM799





Electric : Twin / Double Pump



Ameda: Lactaline Dual Breast Pump

RM789

Medela: Pump In Style Advanced Breastpump With 2-Phase Expression

RM1699

OK. Maybe not the last one.

I've read many of the working mamas suggesting to buy the dual breastpump, coz its faster and more convinient. which is true I guess, I wouldnt afford to spent an hour (every 2-3 hours) pumping milk in the office. I'll go back at 9pm everyday if I do that!!

BUT, wahh...so expensive eyh? that I havent include the Medela Freestyle (RM2k!!!!!) which suppose to be the best dual breastpump. urgh.

even RM700 is expensive for me. ni lagi 2k kannnnnnn...

but when I start working, I think do need the electric type, dengan all the new projects and tasks coming in next year, I dont have much rest time. just maybe not the dual breastpump.

since we still got so many many things to buy (first baby kan hehe) plus we're moving into our new home in the near future. mmg tight sket laa budget....

so pk2 n bincang2 ngan mr Hubs, I've decided to get the manual type first. Try tgk camne. I mean, klu org dulu2 bleh jer survive (even my ex-manager is using the manual one at work now), why cant I, right? Its all in the mind...ewaahhh...hehehe..

but if mmg katekan at that time, its impossible to use the manual one, and I really2 need the electric type. baru pk lain nanti. ;p , the manual one could still be used during short outings kan.. ;)

now, which one? I think I'll get this

Philips Avent ISIS Manual Breast Pump Out and About Set

the set includes:

-ISIS Breast Pump with Sterile Travel Covers
-Microfibre Insulated Shoulder Bag
-2 Milk Storage Bottles with sealing discs 125ml/4oz
-2 Milk Storage Bottles with sealing discs 260ml/9oz
-2 Newborn Teats

The set retails at RM388, but now with the sales, most places offers 20% less for the set (RM310.40 after less).

but yesterday, I went to Babyland year end sales at SS2, and the set is selling for RM270 only!! what a bargain right? but me being the stubborn me, I insisted to find the set online first coz normally we could get it cheaper online, but so far the lowest I could find is RM300..(menyesal menyesal!!!)

I am heading to SS2 after work. praying the set will still be available coz there's only 2 sets left on the shelf yesterday




mintak2 laa ade lagi....aminnn....

opportunity

was given a great opportunity by my manager this morning.

she gave me until end of today to decide.

it's not a sure thing but i guess it doesnt hurt to try ya?

hmm

but with the new baby coming n all.

could I really give my 100% commitment?

so much to think. so little time.



*hub says go for it. should i?




hmm.

new moon.

watched new moon yesterday with mr Hubs [finally!]

eventho many reviews said that new moon is not as good as twilight. I have to disagree.

somehow, i like this movie better.

but wait.

I am not here to tell you about how awesome the movie was.

or how super HOT!!! were the La Push's warewolves.

BUT, about how I totally heart Bella's turquoise Bangle !!!!!!

it was EXACTLY like the one I admired at Penang's night market last weekend!!!!!

I really wanted the bangle, but it was rm200++ [ a bit much for a piece of jewelery for me]

I bought a ring instead, similiar to the bangle. with a turquoise stone. - rm28 only maaa! ;)

but now looking at her wearing it in the movie, makes me want one too!!!

and the ring too!!!! coolness~~

tapi... where can get the bangle below rm100 eyh?? [or below rm50 ke..hehe..melampau tak permintaan...hmmmm.... ]

cantikkkkkaannnn!!!!!!

my conversation with hubs after the movie:

me: abangggggg!!!! pasan tak Bella punya gelang??sebijik yg sayang nak kat Penang tuuu....cincin yg die pki pun smart gak!!

hubs: hah? gelang n cincin die pakai pun sayang pasan ke? sayang ni tgk cerita ke tgk ape?mane perasan.



huh! GUYS.






xoxo.

uuuhh..btw..those are fabrics...hehehe...
