last night, abg sani's sister dropped off a huge box of maternity clothes and pregnancy/baby books at my place. i felt like christmas came early! there's capris, comfy tees, roomy shirts, etc. so no more buying of maternity clothes. she said once i am done with them, i could either keep them or pass them to the next pregnant woman i know.
i love the concept of hand-me-downs. not only its economical, it creates a kind of bond between these people. the already-moms are so nice and they dispense good advice, listen and really know what you are going through and of course, pass their used stuff to the would-be-mothers. its like a club, a social network of sorts. i cannot wait to become the 'senior' in the club and pass down stuff or give advices to the 'juniors'!
husband's grandmother passed me a baby's blanket she sewed for the husband. that was more than 28 years ago and its still in pristine condition. is white with blue trimmings and smockings. that almost qualifies as our heirloom! i would want to start collecting mementoes of my children and pass it to them for their children's use. its very the 'how to make an american quilt' (which i love the movie, btw. winona is hot.) kind of story but these kind of things hold a lifetime of memories for sentimental fools like me.
Abdullah/Abdillah(to be determined) always kick when i am slouching. probably he's pissed at being contained in a confined space. if i sit up straight, theres more room for him to roam. i still cant believe i passed the 6 months mark! last lap of trimester to go and people have been telling me to be prepared to be tired and breathless all the time. thank god my timing for delivery is quite cun. slated to give birth in mid july so i will be home in june for my last month to sleeeeeep!! hooray for holidays!
i talked to H a few days ago and she commented that i still look good considering i am expecting a boy. most people she knew expecting boys look like crap. i told her i made a trade off with the Big Guy up there to spare me my looks in exchange for 3 months of excruciating morning sickness. i need my looks to survive in a long distance marriage as i dont see my husband often!
H laughed and said i mengarut. at that point of time, kilat meyambar and guruh berdentum. H said, "Big Guy not happy you used his name to sprout rubbish like that!" i didnt know whether to laugh or feel scared.
anyhow, the next pregnant friend i know will automatically join my version of 'kelab k'. tapi bila pergi meeting jangan pakai seksi-seksi like you know who on that actual show. longkang semua nampak. president of kelab takmo tanggung dosa. club name to be determined at first AGM.
