IK flew back to London this morning. It feels lonely without him but I have my hands full with bubba. She needs me constantly for feeds, burps, nappy change, sleep.
As she lies there peacefully, I am reminded how blessed I have been.

Bubba Has Arrived
I became a mommy at 40 weeks 7 days. Medically a week overdue but I am guessing the EDD was just that - an estimate.
Baby R arrived on 31 October 2008 at 7.45 am (Malaysian time). It was a normal delivery alhamdullilah. Admittedly I cheated with epidural by the time I was 3 cm dilated.
Life as a mommy has been manic and loads of adjusting needs to be done on my part. Waking up every 1-3 hours at night, changing diapers, feeding and understanding the changes that is happening to her on a daily basis.
Not wanting to state the obvious ~ it has been tiring but I am slowly easing my way into this new role I have been blessed with, as is Baby R. Coming into this world cannot be that easy for her either after being snug as a bug in my womb but she is doing well so far. We are very proud of her.
And so, blogging has to take a back seat for now. Will resume when I am more settled and less clueless. Until then, take care peeps.

Two Sides of a Coin
Life has been revolving around bubba mostly. I dread to update my blog for fear of turning this into a baby blog. Looks like I am doing exactly what I planned not to.
Like for now, when I click on New Post, all I can think of updating is bubba's due date, how I feel being very pregnant at this point in time; basically everything about bubba, childbirth and pregnancy.
Surely there's more to (my) life than (my) pregnancy. Let's see -
Today I finally headed to the bank to collect my cheque book, had pizza for lunch with mumsy, dropped by the pharmacy for baby clothes' detergent. OK stop right there. Here I go again getting into bubba stories.
I think this can be attributed to the fact that I stopped working and socialising with colleagues/work mates since end-August. Being at home, I speak to mumsy + dadster, Winnie + Cleo, the maid and I have not even seen many of my mates around because everyone is at work.
Or was that merely an excuse for something I am avoiding.
Surely I can still be an individual who has a life that involves other worldly things apart from a child (not that I am belittling having a child, I am sure it is rewarding)? Or am I supposed to be all consumed with this being growing in my belly? Bubba this, bubba that.
Hmm. Have I actually become someone I could never relate to a few years ago?

Still Preggers
Hello blog-world, I have been meaning to blog everyday but (other equally unimportant) things just seem to get in the way. And no, I have not popped yet.
I do wish it would be soon as bump is getting too heavy and the pressure it puts on my back (when lying down) and legs (when upright) is sometimes unbearable. But bubba has a mind of her own much to mommy's dismay. So in she stays until she is ready to see the world.
In the meantime, I am preparing myself for next week's check up to see how things are going with cervix, etc. I do hope she decides to come out soon. Like tomorrow maybe?
