Unplanned pregnancy part 1

When I got married, both my husband and I planned to have only boys..no girls..(we thought raising girls nowadays are very challenging)..we waited at least a year before started a family, so when I was pregnant with my first one (after my 1st wedding anniversary), we were so hopeful it's going to be a boy.. so when my gynea confirmed it was a girl..we sort of thwarted:(

So the next year..I told my husband..if we have a boy, I'm going to stop having babies..we made a deal..then I got pregnant a year after...(didn't plan so immediate though...)

I suddenly felt very tired..came back after work, I just dozed off on the sofa couldn't do anything..so I told my husband.."if i'm not pregnant, I think I'm having a chronic desease or something that is fatal....so better hope I'm pregnant"

So I bought a pregnancy test..and waiting anxiosly.......hoping it's just a single line..all the symptoms were false....hoping and praying in the toilet,

but then..Allah has better plan.... taddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...double line showed up!!!....I froze for a moment..hoping it's a mistake...i was still in denial..so I went to a nearby clinic to get a doctor to confirm..the result came back...POSITIVE...huwaaaa!!!!!!

maannnnnnnn....I am pregnant.!!!!!.I started to panick..how on earth to tell my colleagues and friends..I'm pregnant again??? How my boss will react if she finds out..we have a high KPI to achieve..huwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! I felt so embarassed..all sort of things came to my mind like "have u ever heard of family planning??" "are you a baby bearing machine??" "what were you thinking??" "ooo..so fertile laa you.." and I was like maluuuunyaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! almost hysterical....ohh..noooooooooooooo!!!!!!nehiii..nehiiii...!!!
Then after I get myself calmed..I called my husband.."Guess what????" I said.. and he responded "you are pregnant..yeeyyyyy" how on earth he can read my mind.."alaaaaaaaa....I'm not yet ready...poor allysha..she's going to have a baby brother while she still needs our undivided attention"

(very positive it's going to be a boy :))

Anyhow, I immediately bought the acid folic, waited until the 8th weeks to see the gynea..didnt tell anyone..keep the secret until i almost over my 1st trimester..I remembered my boss commented "hey I dont think having nasi lemak every morning is good you know..see you have gained so much weight.." darn..I was even more ambarassed..and out of no where I blurted out.."i'm pregnant laa..not fat"..

Come to think of it..what is it to be ambarassed..as if having child out of wedlock;))

To my dear babies..

it's not mommy doesnt want you..it's just that ...mommy was having a hormonal imbalance then..;)) no offense ya lallinggg;) and I dont regret a bit having you both..i wouldnt trade you for the world..or the pearls in the sea or the treasures in the kingdom..(ceewah bermadah pulak mommy..:)

until then..

My easy-peasy recipe for my kids

Being a lazy busy working mom which needs to juggle work and making sure I have enough times to check on their homeworks and making sure they eat..(my kids are picky eaters) I need to find an easy recipe which my kids love and doesn't take a chef to prepare:)

So, normally I just stock up a lot of San Remo La Pasta..it's very easy to prepare..1 pack can serve up to 4 people (small serving) so my kids can have a few rounds with just 1 pack

last weekend I prepared the Sour cream & chives pasta

The ingredients;

• San Remo La Pasta (sour cream & chives)


• Fresh milk (1 cup)


• Butter


• water (1 cup)


• if you like, can add sausage or beef bacon
  

Directions;

Pour the water and milk, stir..add on butter..once it melted..put in the pasta..if you like, you can also add in sausages and stir for about 8-10 minutes and ..

Keep stirring until the pasta turn soft...then it's ready to serve..

My secret revealed

I found this hillarious, when I started blogging in February I didnt tell anybody as I just want to remain anonymous..not even my husband..

But deep down I know this particular blog-hopper a.k.a my BFF will eventually found the blog as she's the avid follower of lady of leisure, ermayum (to name a few) so I know sooner or letter she will find mine...but I didnt hear her asking me so I guess..i just continue waiting..

But, i found it amazing, one Monday afternoon, she texted me on the phone when I was in the office feeling all miserable as I havent heard from the HR (remember my posting :click here ) "kau sedih ke? insyaAllah kalau ada rezeki, mesti dapat, kalau tak dapat tu maybe that is not a good place for you, apa2 ko call lah aku, my phone on silent mode, mak nak tidur kejap" (she's a SAHM) I felt so touched ..how on earth she knows ..this must be the instinct of so called BFF...I even called my other friend (another BFF who's away in Kota Kinabalu) to tell her how amazing the incident... (I didnt get to tell her about my misery as it hit me on Friday and on weekends which we don't normally called each other on weekends unless we plan to meet up as we're one busy mom and wife;)

But....last saturday during our Meni & Pedi session..I jokingly told her I have a blog..then she responded.."tahuuuuu....!!!!" and I was like "what????????????????????????? you didnt even tell me???I was expecting you will tell" her reason..."ye laahh mana tahu..ko nak remain anonymous!"
laaa..I seriously thought our friendship has reached to a new level which you can just telepathy..no need to express your thoughts anymore..haa..haaa..with this, it means we need a few more levels to reach that telepathy stage..:)

No wonder..she knows I was miserable earlier..she read my blog:) But again I have to thank her for her effort to respect me wanted to be anonymous..but my life is an open book hence I wont be surprised to know my BFFs can immediately relate the posting to me based on the stories I shared here in my blog:)

So..to you (i know you will check my blog few times a day..ha..haaa..welcome and appreciate your honest feedback)

My fail attempt:(

Ok..I fail miserably last night.

Blame it on my contact lense..I've been in discomfort due to stupid lense this whole week, so yesterday I decided, I had enough..on the way back I stopped by at the nearby mall determined to dispose the current lense and get a new one...

I was fasting, and mr hubby was having his evening routine - playing squash..so I thought it's a good thing as I can use that excuse to breaking fast alone with my KELLOGG's K ...

As fate would have it.......as I was about to leave the optical shop...taddddaaaaaaaaaaaaa....MR TEPPANYAKI was just few steps away..SALMON TEPPANYAKI.....!!!!!
Contemplating..SALMON..Kellogg's K..Salmon..Kellogg's K...Salmon..Kellogs K.....

Of course..SALMON won..what do you expect right???..so there goes my determination..goes down the drain:(

With oil, butter, salt, rice etc...made it very very sinful and yummy!!!! I had to refrain myself from finishing the whole bowl of rice..but still 2/3 finished:(

So basically that's what happened to my semangat yg berkobar in the afternoon..so today I started right..had my first bowl of Kellogg's K, a cup of coffee in the morning..afternoon ..caesar salad..(yummmmm!!!!)

I finished this huge portion this afternoon with 3 glasses of apple juice (slightly excessive in sugar intake:( )

Pray hard I would stick to the rules for the rest of the day..! Ya Allah berilah Aku kekuatan!

Yang sedang berusaha...

My 2 weeks challenge starts today

Ok, today 1st April (what a day to start something) it's not an april fool...I plan to start my diet again. re-ignite the dying fire..ha..haa:)

Last night when I did my groceries shopping and my kids were busy choosing their own favorite cereals, I saw this Kellogg's special K's offer- buy 2 big boxes you will get a free starter pack - Unwrap a new you with Kellogg's special K

So, being me a sucker for free stuff:) I went ahead took 2 of those. Went home and read the instructions and somehow I got inspired to give a second chance. To tell you the truth I've tried this once and it didn't work because then I didnt exercise at all..so this time around I'm determined to follow the rules (definitely not so strict:))

Here I go....I'm going to start my 2 weeks challenge - kellogg's special K.

• breakfast and dinner with Special K - 165 grams per serving (1 bowl)


• lunch and in between snacks should be low in fat and loaded with veggies


• if hunger strikes in between meals, snack on fruits and veggies


• 30 mins exercise routine daily (not that bad afterall huh?)

Since today I'm fasting, I figure it's the best way to start, I plan to do a brisk walking this evening before breaking fast and have a bowl of special K (I hope I wont become one cranky mommy tonight due to hunger pangs)

By the way..the starter pack comes with vouchers from celebrity fitness (i don't find it useful as I'm already a member to a gym which I've abondoned classes for almost 3 months now) plus my office has a quite sophisticated gym complete with shower and sauna. (I should use them one of these days..next week perhaps)

So all the best to me....and I'll share with you the progress;)
