Journal of the day

Our sundays routine seem predictable and almost the same every week. Woke up late, had breakfast at home or outside, and after that enjoy the cheap indulgence in one of the saloon to wash hair.. :o) Me and my hubby like to pamper ourself with the affordable beauty regime while we can here.
And this week, is nothing different. The same routine again. My hair is a typical dull, frizy, super duper dry hair. Washing it with my own hand, will always end up like I never wash, and comb my hair. Guess, that's the reason why I like to go saloon and wash it there. Lucky enough for me, and my lazy behaviour, the price I have to pay..is affordable. They would wash your hair, give your face and head a massage, and blow dry for around an hour, would cost me between 40-50,000 VND (2-3USD). The result is brighter face, and of course no more frizzy hair look.
We always bring zoe with us, and let her play with her toy or play with the saloon lady. So far, no complain from her, and she's quite enjoying her trip to saloon. Like today, she also enjoying her pedicure...
After we're done with our hair, we went to the baby shop to buy the baby cot. Yes, the baby will be due in four-five weeks time. Preparation for the baby just started.
The baby cot is ready, thanks for zoe and dad who hand in hand assemble the baby cot. Oh ya, the baby taffle also ready.
My maternity bag, not finish packed. Am stil waiting till all the baby clothes finish washed.
I hope the second child will be born on time. We're planning to have the baby delivered in FV hospital in Saigon. If everything is running as planned, I'll be going to saigon few days before the due date. My mom and my sister will be there for me...yipii, can't wait to meet them.
Zoe is more than excited to welcoming her baby brother, everyday she would choose her old clothes to be given for her brother. I love to see the excitement on her eyes, and I always want to involve her with the preparation for the baby. Like, choosing the clothes, packing the baby bag, cleaning the toys with zoe. I think it will make her feel involved, needed, and feel like she's turned to be a big sister..:o)
Another month to go....nervous nervous....:o))

The second miracle is coming

Ok, I should have posted this long time back. At least to let some of my friends know that am now pregnant, yes Zoe is gonna have sibbling!
I have now wrapped my first semester of the pregnancy. The ups and downs during the first three months, really made me lazy to post anything about it. Lost my mood, spent most of my days either snuggled in my bed, or throwing up in the toilet.
The first month was actually okay, I hardly felt anything..so I thought this time would be different experience from the first pregnancy. Good!

Second month came, and I had breakout on my face! gosh, never in my wildest dream I had so many acnes on my face! Yeah, I seldom had acne...if yes, that meant only one or two!
This time, hmm.. so embarrassed to say, I lost count of them. Too many! Complaining everyday to my hubby, til he also gave up dunno what else comfort words could convince me that I was stil beautiful as always on his eyes!
Hormones baby, blame it to hormones!...everyday is not a good day, tried to be cheerful..but it's just so hard!
Zoe was more cranky too, so spoilt to mommy, easily cry when she didnt get what she wanted. Expected mommy to carry her most of the times. Those just made things worsen.
Imagine this, Nauseas, always felt cold, couldnt bare feet when touched the floor- The chill from the tile would rush spreading to my whole body and made me vomit.
I really hate the second month.
The third month was slowly getting better eventhough now and then I stil had the morning sickness. If one day I felt better, the following day, not neccessarily I felt better too.
We spent the last two weeks of my third month of pregnancy in Kuala Lumpur. Hmm...before I went for holiday, I already imagining all the nice delicacies I would enjoy there. Had them listed on my head. However funny things happened. Out of the blue, I found all kinds of meat just sickening me! I couldnt swallow anything with meat inside. I just had vegetables during my trip there. Can you imagine, that you are in Malaysia where all nice delicacies you can find, and all you eat is only vegie??
What a waste really, I past all those nice prawns, crispy pork, steam fish....grrrhhmm..
So, the first semester over, and I just started my new second semester. The second semester theoritically should be the best phase of the pregnancy.
Well, I just keep my finger cross! Pray to God to give me strenght every night and day, that's what I need. Having a kid and expecting, is really not an easy thing to go through.
I am missing my mom so much now, wishing her to be around me now. Having her around like my first pregnancy was a GREAT help. Her gentle hand would massage me whenever I felt nauseas, the morning sickness stil there..but it soothed me.
I have made a plan to go back home next month, I just can't wait. Am counting the days now..
