lizard dreams.

Good morning everyone. 🙂
It’s another beautiful Ramadhan morning !

Since it’s just the two of us, sahur for Mr. Sunshine and I have always been simple. I would either fry some rice, fry eggs and sausages or make french toast etc etc.
This morning I made chocolate chip pancakes. 🙂

Fasting was a bit of a challenge for me yesterday, I felt extremely weak and by the time I got back home from work, I was literally shaking and had to lie down.
What’s amazing was that Mini Mel was super active the whole day yesterday.
It’s as though she was telling me that she’s alright and giving me strength to continue fasting. 🙂
And that’s what I did. Alhamdulillah.

Last night as I was wiping my face before going to bed, a baby lizard jumped on my arms ! I pushed it off and it landed on my towel. I assumed it was there the whole while and I was the one ‘invading its territory’. I vigorously shook my towel, but it didn’t budge for a good one minute or so. When it finally did, images of it crawling into my ears, nose and other body cavities of mine haunted me.
I had trouble falling asleep !

This morning I hesitated for a bit before touching my towel.
Now that I think about it, I think I’m gonna put it to wash. Hmm.

Mr. Sunshine came home with a surprise yesterday.

A Sweet Cherry SCR7 Carrier Carseat !
Wheee !
He has been scouting for a baby carseat/stroller for quite some time now. 🙂
Thank you sayang !
Now let’s pray our baby will have no problems adjusting to being in the seat. Hehe.

Ramadhan blessing: Still having the energy to go to work and not have gastric attacks. Alhamdulillah.

90/60.

Well, my 1st day of fasting is going ok so far. Alhamdulillah.
It might be due to the fact that I took the day off today.
The real challenge of fasting would be tomorrow.

To start things, thought I’d share a picture of me which Mr. Sunshine took this morning. 🙂

A sleep-deprived me at 36 weeks and 5 days. 🙂

I had my weekly antenatal checkup this morning and my blood pressure was on the low side, 90/60mmHg.
It was probably a result of staying up too late last night.
Lack of sleep = exhaustion.

Mr. Sunshine and I had pizza, pasta & chicken wings from Pizza Hut for dinner plus a few slices of Sarawak layer cake for dessert last night, so we decided to just have something to drink for sahur.
I have always been used to not eating and only drinking plain water for sahur, but this morning I had milk, since milk has been my staple breakfast for the past 9 months. 🙂

I don’t usually have dates for sahur or berbuka. But this year, because of how good they are for baby and I, I have vowed to try to incorporate dates into my diet, however distasteful they are to me. :p
Mr. Sunshine bought Chocodates, which are dates covered with chocolate and almonds replacing the seeds of the dates.

I think it’s an awesome alternative for people (who don’t fancy dates) like me. 🙂

Oooooh, guess what arrived in the mail yesterday ?

………
…..

My post natal set and tummy binder (bengkung) !

Bought from Kak Engku.

After considering online reviews and advice from friends and family, I’ve opted for the post natal set from Nona Roguy. I don’t know whether I’d be able to follow through with the whole set but it’s worth a try. 🙂

These arrived too..

From FabulousMom. 🙂

And as you can see, I’ve chosen the Spectra 3 breast pump (with the extra breast shield set for dual pumping). I gave the pump a try last night, it’s not as noisy as I had expected it to be. I can’t comment on it’s milk expression efficiency yet though. Hehe.

Mr Sunshine has disallowed me from cooking, hence I haven’t got a clue what we’ll be having for berbuka today. I am more than willing to prepare a berbuka meal for us, but I guess not today.

Just a few more hours to go, I can do it !

Ramadhan blessing: Listening to the heartbeat of my baby through a fetal doppler. Subhanallah.
