“When your baby starts spitting saliva, your hair will start to thin-out”

Helppppppppppp! It’s really happening. I’m BALDING. *cries blood*

I thought I was the lucky one but I was wrong, just WRONG!

I see my hair E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E, all over the floor, bed, couch, tables, MAYA -- oh when will this end.

Finally, my hair is at its almost desired length but I think my scalp is too weak to bear the weight of my long hair. I was too closed to having my hair chopped off the other day. *sniff*

Hari Raya is next week and I want to look good with my long hair but I don’t think I can afford losing more hair. Mind you, I do have a lot of hair; it’s just that I hate seeing my hair all over the floor just minutes after vacuuming the house.

However, if I do go ahead and have my hair short, will it end this misery? If no, I would have to wait for another year or more to have it back to where it is at right now. *sigh*

Short or Long?

If I were to ask my husband, his answer would be -- “just wear a hijab”

As I’m typing, I’m running my fingers through my ponytail, and guess what I see, EXACTLY, I see few strands of hair in my hand. :’(


I is sad

How do you do Thursday?

Since Ramadhan is around the corner, I was supposed to fast today to make up the one day I’ve missed last Ramadhan. However, for some reason, my alarm didn’t go off this morning. On top of that, it didn’t even go off to wake me up for work. W.E.I.R.D. I could’ve sworn I did set my alarm. I was, of course, a little late for work this morning :/ and nevermind, I still have tomorrow to fast.

Thank god it’s Friday tomorrow. I can’t wait for the weekend. Nothing special will be going on. All I’m looking forward to is to be with Maya all weekend and have a good time with Mom & Aza before Aza leaves this Wednesday Aug 11th. Booooo =(

Faliq is not in town. He’ll be away from Aug 4th-Aug 11th. He’s in Taipei at the moment and will be heading to LA in few days. How lucky! I wish I could spend my weekends at different cities like he does (with Maya in tow of course =D).

Mom came by with Maya for lunch today and we had our lunch at Pavilion. Maya was awake the whole time so I had to hold her because she fusses when we leave her in her stroller. I don’t mind holding her because most of the day I don’t get to do that. Since I have a little time left after lunch, I wanted to SHOP! But, my dear sweet Maya wasn’t working with me. She can’t stop crying when we were in Zara. I think she’s trying to tell me to save up instead of spend spend spend :p Oh well, maybe some other time. Soon I hope because I seriously need more work clothes and Zara is having some real good sale. I heart them sales =D All in all, I had a great lunch *family*food*window-shopping* especially I get to feed Maya twice! Once was immediately after I entered the car and the other was when we were on our way to drop me off at the office. *bliss*

So now I’m typing this blog while waiting for the market to end. I can’t upload this entry right away because, like most office, we can’t open google-related sites. *bummer*

Oh well gotta go. Gotta work on those trade confirmations.

Toodles!


Mommy + Maya = Inseparable

Ready or not Farah is back!

So my last entry was about how anxious I was waiting for my baby’s arrival and for the passed 2 ½ months, I’ve been loving the life of motherhood.

After 39 weeks and 2days (finally), my Maya Suraya was born on Tuesday, May 18th 2010. She weighed 3.54kg and 48cm in height. She came out bigger than what the doctor expected. Well of course she’s big, I ate whatever and whenever I wanted to =D.

So now I’m back at work. I was away from work for 60 days and believe me, it wasn’t enough. Confinement it self was 40-44 days and 20 days later you are back in your office with no baby in the belly :( I miss having Maya with me alllllllll the time. However, thank god for hubby’s super cool work schedule, for the passed 1 ½ weeks since I’ve been back at the office, I see Maya everyday during lunch break except for 1 day. I get to breastfeed her during lunch break. How cool is that! Oh yes, Maya is a straight-up breastmilk baby. I was super duper worried about her taking the bottle because she loves to nyot-nyot even though she’s not hungry. I was procrastinating on practicing bottle feeding. Why was I procrastinating? Well…I was just so lazy (of course) to do the whole process – express milk and then store it and then warm it up and while waiting for the milk to warm up, the baby is crying frantically in the background. Just TOO MUCH work. I love breastfeeding it’s just so E.A.S.Y. Anyhow, Maya is doing just well with the bottle.

Since I am now around the computer more, I will try to keep my blog updated.

Sincerely,
Farah~

When are you coming out baby?

So I had my doctor’s appointment yesterday morning. I was so looking forward for this appointment HOPING I’ll get some good news, but luck was not on my side. I was hoping the doctor would say something like “you’re fully engaged!” or “you’re in labor!” or “it’s going to be anytime now” but….NONE was uttered. He said baby’s head is still floating, her head is down though, but f.l.o.a.t.i.n.g.!!??!?!

I wanted to cry, in fact, I had an invisible tear rolled down my chubby cheeks.

Well, I shouldn’t feel this way since my EDD is May 22nd. It’s entirely my doctor’s fault. He said 80% of women give birth two weeks before their EDD and he made me believed I’ll be in that percentage group. Ok, I’m exaggerating, he didn’t, he was just sharing me the facts. Hehe…

Anyhoos, he added that if my baby is not out by May 22nd, he’ll need to induce me on the 24th and I’ll have lil precious by the 25th. Oh god, 25th seems so far far away. :(

Plus, I gained extra 2kg (I think) this passed week! Faliq blamed the everyday Kit Kat I eat before leaving for work. Hehe :p

Oh well, I guess mommy has to wait for her lil bundle of joy.

Mommy can’t wait!

I love you baby~

My Baby Shower

On May 2nd, my BFF and sis-in-law threw me a baby shower. It was LOVELY and planned with much love. It was held at Bianco, Damansara Perdana. The food was awesome, the ambience was superb, and the crowd was great. It was the best baby shower that any mommy in the world would dream of. There were games involved, and let me tell you, my guests (grown men and women) were super cool that they didn’t mind participating in crazy (made for baby shower) games. I felt loved <3 Here are some pictures from the baby shower. (pictures are from my mommy's camera)






Thank you for those who came and thank you Leey, Wawa, and Yana for the beautiful day. *huggies and kisses*

Happy Labor Day!!

Wouldn’t it be great if I give birth today?
If my darling baby decides to come out today, then her every birthday would be a holiday!
I can do birthday parties (on her exact birthday), we can take her somewhere out of town, well you know, we can celebrate her day ALL day.
But I guess she’s comfortable in her mommy’s warm, comfy belly and decides to come out later :)
Today has been a pretty long day for me. I am really TIRED.
We catched a 10pm movie last night, we watched IRON MAN 2. It was awesome! We went to this theatre that they have just open up right by our place and it’s pretty cool since the cinema smells BRAND NEW. The sound system was loud and that movie practically kept my baby awake the whole time. Boy, I’m sure she wasn’t happy with mommy and daddy :). We got home quarter to 1am and we had to be up early the next morning for Azhar’s engagement.
I don’t understand how this body of mine functions sometimes. How is it I can wake up - get dressed, put my make up on, DO MY HAIR, basically make myself look cute, ON A WEEKEND, even though I had only few hours of sleep the night before, and if it was a normal working day, I can’t wake up even if I had 9 hours of sleep!!!
W.E.I.R.D
The engagement was pretty. The food was good. The weather was HORRIBLE. It was crazy hot out there.
I seriously felt like I was about to pass out. The heat was madness. I really need to tell my sister to do her engagement at night. The heat here in KL is no joke. FOR REAL!
The after party was at Austin Chase. We chatted while playing a friendly game of Taboo. It was a good place to decrease my body's super high temperature. Thank god for air conditioner.
Oh well, hearing the sound of my husband’s snoring is making me sleepy. I’m going to take a nap because later I’m going out with my mommy and papa to meet up with mommy’s old friend.
Ciao~

Happy Birthday Aza!!

My one and only sister turns 22 yesterday!
Can’t believe that she’s a grown woman. Well we’re only a year and three months apart :p. I called her at 12.04pm Malaysian time, yesterday, to wish her happy birthday. We talked for a bit and I told her she’ll be getting her pressie from us once she gets back. She tried to guess what we got for her…..ekkkkkkkkkkk they were all wrong. Even though she has grown into a fine looking lady, but when it comes to presents I guess we all get super excited as though we’re just kids.
I miss going out with her and do something fun on her birthday. *sigh*
However, as I mentioned earlier, my darling sister is coming back for the summer! Weeeeeeeeeee
She’ll be arriving on May 13th and she’s hoping my baby can wait for her aunty before she decides to come out. Can I wait that long?

Anyhoos, dear Aza, may this year be one of the best years for you. You’re going to be an aunt and you’re getting engaged. How exciting this year has been for you so far! I wish for many many more, anything that’ll make you happy because you’re special and you totally deserve it.

I love you Aza~
