36 weeks pregnant

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and went for my check up today.Selalunya midwife tua yang check but today doktor muda blonde yang muda cantik pulak check so agak rendah diri ye dengan perut buncit.*sobs* Alhamdulillah baby's head is in the right position (ke bawah) & hopefully kekal la begitu sampai deliver.

My MIL said, "Baby boy ni.." (based on the shape of my belly) & she is so eager to wait for the baby.Saya pulak sangatlah sabar untuk tunggu baby keluar cos assignments tak siap lagi.:(

I'm almost done packing my hospital bag & esok (Sabtu) baru nak pergi antenatal class ye.;p 23/5 pulak kena attend water birth class. Midwife siap perli,"You're a naughty mom, waiting until the last minute to book for the class.Teehee.Dalam hati nak je jawab, "Okla kan, alang2 pergi antenatal/water birth class kalau tiba2 sakit nak terberanak boleh terus masuk labour room."

Being apart again

Lusa husband akan fly ke UK for 2 weeks without me yang berperut makin besar & struggle nak siapkan assignment.*sobs*. I think I weigh about 58-60kg now (33 weeks!) . Alhamdulillah rasanya sihat2 je melainkan perut yang besar + sometimes rasa kurang selesa.Still feeling better than my 1st trimester. I guess 33 weeks maybe still early kot untuk rasa lebih macam2 lagi.

I hate being apart!:'( Planning to sleepover kat rumah kawan2 yang bujang yang dekat dengan rumah & dah ajak kawan datang teman kat rumah. Tak berani tinggal sorang2 dengan perut yg makin besar ni. Siang pulak makin pendek since winter dah makin dekat.Nervous.Nervous dengan cuaca yang makin sejuk. Nervous dengan due date yang makin dekat since I'm expecting a winter baby!

I feel so glad dah beli barang baby awal2 sebab 2-3 weeks ni malas nak fikir pasal barang baby (Even macam semua yang penting dah ada.;p) sebab banyak assignments nak kena fikir. Setengah baju dah pre-wash but malas pulak nak lipat. I love folding clothes tapi baju baby ni kiut miut sangat la malas nak lipat, rasa susah.~_~

Still thinking nak pesan apa kat husband selain Avent iQ Bottle and Baby Food Warmer  .Told husband nak jenis ni, bukan Avent warmer yang lain & since barang-barang lain dah kumpul Avent, yang lain taknak!;p

My MIL akan sampai ke Adelaide on 8 May sekali dengan my husband yang akan transit kat Malaysia. Ok, I have to clean up my house! Actually dah start kemas sikit2 since last few weeks.lol.

Jolly Jumper

Went to Sunday Market yesterday with my neighbour Kak Su and she influenced me to buy Jolly Jumper! I never knew about Jolly Jumper before even Kak Su cakap during baby expo haritu ada demonstration/promotion Jolly Jumper.*How come I didn't notice it?* At first dengar rasa macam nama penulis buku kanak-kanak.LOL.

Benefits for babies:
- It’s good exercise for babies
- Strengthens baby’s leg muscles
- Promotes earlier walking (by virtue of the fact that it strengthens their leg muscles) and motor coordination

Bought mine at $7 but I'm not sure whether my baby will like it or not. Harapnya suka & cepat berjalan la ye.. so cepat sikit boleh tambah baby lagi 1.;p

Look at this cute baby. She really enjoys her Jolly Jumper!
 

Baby Cot

Our baby cot has arrived today!Yeay! Tak jadi beli kat Baby Expo so beli jela kat Gumtree. It costs $99 + cot mattress + delivery. Add another $20 for a couch pulak. Dah alang2 seller tu boleh hantar ke rumah so order je apa yang perlu, & rasa berkenan. ;p Finally decided to buy the baby cot because it has all the features that I want:

1. White
2. Has wheels even it's quite hard to move it around in our house sebab rumah berkarpet sepenuhnya.(except kitchen & toilet.;p)
3. 1 side slides up and down to lift baby
4. Looks new! Cot mattress juga looks new without any tear or stain. Boleh consider untuk bawak balik Msia in future, otherwise will resell it

I did some research before deciding to buy a baby cot or not. Setengah orang rasa tak payah sebab baby katanya tidur sekatil je dengan parents, senang nak breastfeed, etc.Bunyinya macam a BIG NO NO NO la for me since we're using double bed je & katil jugak tinggi.Risau baby jatuh or sendiri yang lupa ada baby kang hempap pulak.;p Buying a new bigger bed for 3 of us is not a good decision since tilam pon baru beli.

Now I'm looking for cot bumper & cot sheets pulak. 11 weeks to go!

Baby Expo

I went to Pregnancy, Babies & Children's Expo today at Adelaide Showgrounds. The expo is held from 16-18 March so I decided to go on the 1st day sebab weekend sure ramai sangat orang. I went there alone, senang sikit nak tengok itu ini sebab saya sungguh banyak songeh.;p Lagipon hari ni hari Jumaat so malas nak heret husband yang nak pergi solat Jumaat pulak.

 The admission fee is $15 but if register awal-awal via online, you don't need to pay for it. It's FREE, yeay! Print je ticket or tunjuk je your smartphone dah boleh masuk.

 

I was looking for a stroller tapi takde good bargain pon. Harga biasa2 je macam sale kat tempat lain.I plan to buy 2 strollers.1 nak beli baru, 1 nak beli 2nd hand je untuk buat campak naik flight nak balik Malaysia nanti.Ok, it's still a longgg way to go.Still have plenty of time to think about it.

 Girly sangat. Ni kalau bawak anak perempuan yg suka princess silap hari bulan boleh nangis guling2 mintak beli pulak.

 Face painting.Atau paint jela kat mana2 yang disukai.;p

 Baby cot pon dalam wishlist jugak tapi tak murah pon kat expo.Contoh this set AUD1000++. Over tau lagi mahal dari katil parents.;p I'd only consider it kalau letak je baby boleh terus tidur immediately.Ok, tipulah kan.

Ada Wendy's, ada coffee shop etc untuk lepaskan penat lepas jalan2 semua booth yang ada.

FREE Goodies.3 yang Avent tu je yang beli akhirnya.

Breastfeeding set

I never imagined that shopping for the baby can be so much fun! Why, if tau nak ada baby setahun lepas lagi ke? Eh tidaklah pula begitu.;p Ok, now rasa macam semua pon nak beli even dah buat list awal-awal apa yang rasa patut dibeli. Since this is my 1st experience & deliver baby pulak kat oversea,list tu memang buat 'over' sikit. Biar 'over', jangan kurang.Cuma rasanya I should stop buying clothes for the baby. Baju newborn beli 5-6 pasang je since baby cepat besar.Yang banyaknya now 3-6months.

For breastfeeding set, I've been eyeing Phillips AVENT Breastfeeding set tapi tak berkenan pulak dengan breast pumpnya. Instead of Avent Manual Breastpump, I wanna buy Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump. Ramai yang recommend beli yang electric & dual, lebih senang but still belum beli lagi. Gonna buy it later sebab tengah tunggu offer. Pergi garage sale memang ada jumpa but sedih pulak nak beli yang 2nd + rasa kurang hygiene.;p

So barang-barang Avent yang lain beli asing-asing & lebih murah rasanya beli asing sebab dapat good offer from online websites.

Avent Bottles 260ml x 3 = $9.99 per box, bought from Big W Online + FREE shipping. (I bought 2 boxes, end up menyesal tak order 20 boxes sebab murah!)

NEW in box Avent Steriliser + Avent Manual Breast Pump + Avent Breast Milk Containers x 4 = $40, bought from Gumtree.

Gumtree ni macam Mudah.my if kat Malaysia.Finally 'ter'beli jugak Avent Manual Breast Pump since it's new in box & very cheap! At least senang nak bawa travel ke mana-mana.

I was so excited with the breast pump *jakun* & I've tried it to myself.LOL.Of course la takde hasil lagi.~_~
