Last night (or was it this morning, I couldn’t remember), I had this uncanny, fantastic dream that’s hard for me to comprehend of even interpret. A dream was just a dream, not really a reality but it was felt so real, so there! I wanted to say what the dream was but I’m not really sure if I should… What if I said it and the opposite happens, wouldn’t I be devastated? Whatever happens there’s always a reason behind it and Allah knows best and I leave it all to fate… If it happens the opposite then I redha… But the dream was glorious… it was wonderful and yet unreal, yet magnificent… It was the best dream I had ever and I wish it may come true, but all this will be up to the Almighty. I pray for his guide to show me the right path and I pray that the child that I’m carrying will always be healthy, beautiful, obedient, anak yang soleh… InsyaAllah… Everytime I think about the dream, it brings a smile to my face. It lights up my day… Its bright blue eyes, its smile, its laughter… One thing that I couldn’t remember was whether it’s a boy or a girl but all I can remember was its bright blue eyes, my parents, James and I… Well, it’s just a dream only ain’t it?
Today my tummy not feeling too good. Its been making noises and while in the office, I’ve been farting non stop… Ewwww… okay, I’m all alone sitting outside so there’s no one else to savour the smell of my fart plus it’s odourless… Tummy just felt like playing those drums and its making me uncomfortable. The weather’s not helping much either and the fan…. It keeps blowing on my face only making me want to just fall asleep right there and then… oh! Did I mention that last Friday, our long awaited new huge corner sofa that can have 5 or more people sleep on it has just arrived. I tell you, it’s so big that me & James just could spread ourselves whenever we lay down on it! It was magnificent!!! Will take a picture of it once I find my charger for the camera… I kinda misplaced it, hee hee! The old sofa – well, at the moment we’re not sure what we going to do with it. We have it moved against the wall in our living room and yes it does look a mess but this is just temporary okay! We think we will give it to charity – still in good condition only the covers need a bit of washing which isn’t a problem…
Last weekend as usual rang mak to see how she’s doing and just chit chatting away like we always do on the weekend. Seems like she’s having a fever but still that doesn’t stop her from telling me everything and anything and everything!!! I missed her sooo much… Told her to stay with me in the UK for 6 months while I’m on my maternity leave next year after giving birth but she says that’s a bit too long though she would love to! But at least she could put her feet up and enjoy the cold weather, keep me company and of course assist me with the baby, hee hee… I sure do need her by my side!!!
Well, that’s still a long way to go… when the time is near, we’ll see how it goes in the meantime, I’ve just got to take good care of myself, eat healthy, do some exercise (just the light and easy one) and wait for it to just grow and grow and grow until it decided to come out!!!! :D

Day 68 - 14/07/06, Friday
And so, past few days had been exceptionally good except for yesterday which was Thursday. Reason being I ate something that my tummy couldn’t endure and I can’t really tell what it was but it’s got to be one of the mixed fruits that I bought from Tesco supermarkets… Not once but twice and so I’ve been in and out of the toilet for couple of times… I hope its nothing serious, though today I’m feeling extremely fine, Alhamdulillah. This first trimester, I’ve got to be really careful with what I eat, drink and do… Seems like eating cornflakes every morning does the trick for I’ve been having less nausea and throwing up therefore must keep on eating cornflakes.
Today, I receive a surprise news from my friend Q in India, Mumbai. It seems that she’s 6 weeks pregnant! How wonderful is that eh? Gosh, we were chatting on and on about all the unexpectancy about this and that…. It’s just sp amazing to have someone going through the same early stages with me. We promised each other to keep ourselves updated with each other’s progress and to send pictures of us blooming/blossoming… This is just so exciting but too bad she’s far, far away in India and me far, far away in the UK but we won’t be despair! We’ll support each other in any way we can! So, that’s the good news for today!
One thing for sure, I need to cut down my Chilli intake and drink less fizzy drink though it’s suppose to help me with the nausea… Hmmmm… I need to contemplate on that…
Tomorrow, we’ll be going to Ian’s for Barbeque… I’ll just have the salad thank you very much! Maybe make potato salad! Yummy!

Day 64 – 10/07/06, Monday
I was in an exceptionally good mood today, yesterday and the day before (that’s the weekend) despite the headache that I had this morning which was killing my head (literally speaking). I decided to take 1 paracatemol because before when I had this headache I took one and it seems to help. I was a bit worried but if the doctor says it’s alright to take it, then I guess it’s all right as long as I don’t take it excessively, it should be fine. I was chirpy, felt fresh and not tired at all. Didn’t throw up the whole day today which was good and I think it’s all down to the Cornflakes that I had this morning. It might sound far fetched but I think it was the cornflakes. It boost up my energy… but hang on a minute. Over the weekend, I didn’t have cornflakes but my mood was excellent but I did throw up after breakfast… so again I conclude that in order for me not to throw up in the morning, I will have cornflakes!
Everytime I lay down in bed, my tummy starts to hurt and churning and I read that it’s normal but it sure does hurt though and I still have to wake up at the odd hours just to go for a pee which was now a norm to me coz you do get used to it after a while. Changes were a few, like my pants were bit tighter, boobs seems sorer and tummy – well, it seems to be growing steadily (I think, or were those just fats?). I don’t think I’ve put on weight massively which I think was pretty good considering I’ve been munching on chocolates but I do have my fair share of fruits and vegetable. I just got to get myself a new weighing machine just to keep me updated weekly on my weight.
So, that’s on my next list of things to buy (not that I have many things to buy)…

It's warm today!
So what’s been up with me? Nothing much at the moment except that I’ve been such a lazy cow (again) and all I ever wanted to do when I got home from work was eat and sleep – that’s it, that’s all there’s to it…
Last night, the in-laws came over to ours for a surprise visit. As usual, James was in Leicester leaving me all by myself (boo hoo) and won’t be home till Friday afternoon so they said that since they were down in Halifax, they thought of popping by just to see how I was doing. Awwww… That’s so sweet! We chatted, drank tea, ate biscuits and decided to go out for dinner. It’s pretty awkward just being with both of them without James but I survived, I did! We went to this meditterranien (not sure how it’s spelled) restaurant which was really cosy and very secluded. Food was excellent, the orange juice was nice, the company was good and the ambience was just perfecto! What more can you ask for eh? But when I got home, my tummy starts churning and making funny noises. I think I over indulged myself with the mushrooms and potatoes. I had grilled salmon which was nicely soaked with this very delicious sauce mixed of red & green peppers, tomatoes, chillies, garlic and herbs and there was just a pool of sauces on the plate and it was gorgeous! I had a great time though there were times that conversations among the in-laws were limited. We would sat in silence for like 2 minutes and there I was trying to think of what to say. But eventually we got there… We enjoyed our food and the company – per se! Hee hee!
Overall, so far Alhamdulillah, the pregnancy seems to be going on okay though there were times that I got worried here and there but after some reassurance from experts, I calmed down just a bit and am taking things as easy as possible… Pains & aches here and there seems to be a norm thing, so, I will try not to worry too much. Being sick, throwing up is part and parcel of being pregnant I suppose as I’m getting it more and more every morning, afternoon and sometimes at night. Mega sensitive to smells for it will easily set me off! Gosh, terrible feeling but still, am enjoying it every minute and every second even the throwing up part… Seems also that I’ve gained few pounds but not massively though. I tried to eat as healthy as possible though sometimes I end up eating junk! Hee hee! Too lazy to have a proper meal especially since I’m all alone and only cooked for 1 person…
Am eating baby tomatoes, carrots, fruits (if possible) and try drinking loads of water. I’m not a mega fan of water, but I just have to drink like 1 litre of it every day just to quench my thirst. I sneakily did drink fizzy drink now and again but hey, when I read up the pregnancy book, it did mentioned one of the tips to avoid nausea was to drink fizzy drink… So, there you go! You can’t argue with expert can you! Yah, yah… just an excuse but I don’t go overboard with it though…
Hmmm… Feeling peckish now. Gonna hunt for food in the pantry now!
