Expecting?




Found a few websites which are very useful for references:




can't help it.....hehe....huhuhu and this book is BRILLIANT!

Baby bloom


Have not blogged for a while. A month of Ramadan has passed and now we're coming to an end of Syawal. Hari Raya this year has been what of a disappointment I must say. Too much looking forward celebrating vs work during the festive season do not go well hand in hand. Oh well, the newbie got the short straw, and I cant do much but accept. Let's just hope justice sets in the coming year to come.

Amidst all this, we've had many baby arrivals! Bundle of joys! The first borns to those. After 9 months waiting the time had finally come. My biggest congratulations to:

  • Ayeen & Amir - 26/9/06 Baby Nor Ameera Aleeya......making Nor Ameera Amani a big sister now
  • Azah & Ruddin - 28/10/06 Baby Syakir Zufayri El-Mun'im
  • Picau & Atai - 10/11/06 Baby boy....name to be announced
With all the hoo-ha's, squealing parents and baby cries... we also received the news that we have been looking forward to.......and to add to that we may be having twins! The scan on the 6th November was an eye opener...it was a shock...it was great news....superb!! It just took a while for it to sink in, that I walked in a daze amidst the heavy rain splashing on the wall-less corridor along the hospital wards. On arrival to Cardiology - where I was scheduled to give a talk for the CME meeting - I just stood outside my SMO's office and all I could say....'there's two....there's two'.......I was fully engrossed and focussed on the news that I was huddled by the nurses and my seniors extending their congratulations and wishes to me......then came along the tears of joy. Thankfully, they allowed my talk to be postponed as they thought I could do with a breather with the news!


It has sunk in. But it is still early. I am 7 weeks and 5 days today. The obstetrician said anything can happen in the 1st trimester and depending on the blood supply the fetuses get, 1 may disappear just like that...no symptoms no signs....hence I got the written memo from her to advice 'light work' and 'no long distance travelling on a daily basis' up to my 13th week. I must say I was slightly nervous as I had to sort out my oncall rota and inform the bosses and colleagues of the current situation. Thankfully, I was welcomed by a group of supportive bosses and colleagues. No oncalls for me for now and may be transferred to Tutong in the mean time until they get me a house in Bandar~ yayyy!!


Next scan is on the 20th November....to see if both are still there. I'm nervous. All I can do is hope and pray and positive thinking.

Till then.
