Re-bonding :)

I have a mile long list of what I have to do to prepare this home and ourselves for the coming baby. Wow, I never thought that being in my final weeks of pregnancy, I'd have such a great challenge to make sure everything is ready, so that the junior would feel welcomed while his papa wont feel so much burdened. Just when I thought that everything was being perfectly sorted out (or at least I'd soon) I might have forgotten someone!

Aisyah!

No! It's not that I forgot about her. But it's the fact that Mr Z is going to be temporarily in charge of entertaining her, is something that I forgot to list out. I know that Aisyah used a lot of English + Malay + her own language of Chinese/Spanish version (?), that only me could somehow tell what she was trying to say, but after I saw how Aisyah was crying her lung out to get her message conveyed to him but to no avail, I came to a realization that I need to do something about this, especially when Mr Z ended the conversation with

"Aisyah, papa minta maaf sebab papa tak ikut sangat perkembangan Aisyah. Papa busy sangat lately. Papa tak faham Aisyah cakap apa...."

Huhu~ wasnt that... err.. sad?

I'd still be with her/them all the time, but there are few occasions when I'd rely solely for him to entertain her for the few days after my due delivery, such as her bath time, reading time and "sing-a-song time"..

Dear papa,

I'm writing this to you because I know that you love me very much but yet, you havent had that much time to spend at home..thus, Im sure youve missed out some of the fun that I have with mama. Mama asked me to write this note so that you would have no difficulty in understanding my languange and be in my little world :)

Bath Time
I really enjoy my bathing time with mama. I'd bring some toys with me to the tub depending on my mood at that time. I love making bubble and play with the jug, sometimes I will spill the water on the floor, mama would always mop the floor after that, since she didnt want anybody to complain about water leakage whatsoever. And I also enjoy "hujan-hujan" or bathing in the shower. Shampoo time can really be intimidating. Mama would shampoo my hair once in the other day.

Owh, after we're done, mama would wrap me in a towel, and I would hug her for some times and we would play some kind of games such as "guess what's the sound" game etc at that time. And papa, just to let you know, our bathing time have never been less than 15minutes.

Sing-A-Song Time
Sometimes, I love to watch my favorite cartoons/songs via youtube.Maybe I should list down some of my favorite songs, and how I refer them.


Falling Down - London Bridge is Falling Down
Spider - Incy Wincy Spider
Toopy Binoo - Toopy and Binoo(any episodes)
Princess - Toopy and Binoo episode Sing and Dance
Doll - Toopy and Binoo episode Halloween
Pumpkin -  Toopy and Binoo episode Pumpkin Party

Iyayo - Old McDonald have a farm
Ni Wa Wa - Kai Lan (Ni Wa Wa song)
Wen Wen - Rain Rain Go Away

Ok Papa? These are my most favorite songs. For the other songs, I think I say the titles quite right and you wont have any problem, I guess :D

p/s: Owh, one more thing. When I say "Stop, Kol Kom", I mean "stop, it's not that!" Mom just doesnt have any idea what language it is in...

Your one and only daughter,
~ Aisyah Rifqah ~

Resepi Berpantang

Semalam tiba-tiba rasa painful kat lower abdomen, sakit sangat tak boleh nak tegak badan.. Nasib baik dah masak untuk dinner, cuma dapur disaster betul... tak sempat nak buat sambal, terpaksalah jamu mr hubby dengan sup ayam + telur dadar jer :P So sementara ada kekuatan nih, nak tulis resipi waktu berpantang, sebab mr z dah 'warning', kalau tak kasi dia resipi, dia takkan masak sebab tak reti.. huhu~ memang pun..


Basically, makanan berpantang nih
- kurang minyak
- kurang lemak
- banyak halia dan lada hitam (untuk buang angin dalam badan n memanaskan badan)
- tak makan benda gatal2 (telur, certain ikan masam/masin etc)
- kurang minuman sejuk/berais

I asked my Thai friend tentang makanan berpantang dalam istilah mereka, yang menakjubkan ialah katanya, orang Thai mengawal pemakanan waktu mengandung, manakala waktu berpantang, mereka akan makan apa-apa saja asalkan tak memudaratkan ibu dan bayi yang menyusu... menarik :)
