immediately after 5 weeks of confinement, i made my way up to kl to spend the rest of my maternity leave with the husband in the comforts of my own house. its just me, the husband and abdullah.
i thought it would be stressful with coping with a constantly ravenous baby and running a household but it has been very pleasurable. the husband works from home so it is not lonely and i still get work like cleaning, washing and cooking done.
abdullah has been very cooperating whenever we go out. infact, he is very well behaved. we have taken him for a sushi dinner (balas dendam after 9 months of no raw salmon, i was eating with a vengeance!), went grocery shopping (all 3 times we went, he slept the entire process. even the cashier noticed!), brought him to a wedding lunch and countless mindless drive around just to get out of the house to buy mcdonald's vanilla milk shake.
the husband has been super cooperative with helping out with keeping an eye and playing with abdullah when i have to shower, cook or clean. he helped out with the diaper changes (even the NASTY pooping ones) and also did household chores. and whenever abdullah wakes up in the middle of the night for a feed or diaper change, the husband wakes up as well and keeps me company.
i wanna quit work and be a full-time housewife!! its sooo relaxing and satisfying! i feel like at the end of the day, there's this one kind of contentment feeling i get inside. i am sure gonna miss this feeling when i get back to work in october.
i have 4 more weeks of the leave to go. gonna savour this moment till the last seconds.

Aww... that is good lah that Abdullah is a good boy. Nairmind the fact that he has a ravenous appetite. Asalkan dia budak baik sudah eh?
Eh, 4 more weeks before you go back to work ah? Alamak! That is soon lah! Better enjoy it as much as possible. Kalau nak, sambung leave lah - unpaid leave. Come back next year. hee hee hee!!!
yeah get unpaid leave up til next year lah. hehe. but honestly that was what one of my colleagues did. tahun depan baru nampak muka dia.
hey babes, wish i could take extended maternity leave but that will mean no pay and i will lose my december bonus as well. rugi kan? besides, when i get back to work, its exams time and pretty soon, the school year comes to an end. when december comes,baru boleh horay-horay!
