I was always hyper on my first pregnancy - getting involved into fashion design show, getting into self-organized parties, and making a pregnancy journal. I guess it's pretty normal to go crazy that way because it's your first, and firsts are meant to be extra special. We want to capture every second of it.
Right now, I'm feeling guilty of not getting into this whole pregnancy journal. It's just that I can't seem to find time for it and I couldn't get the right materials around here. I always wanted something you can flip through or feel the words with your hands - and settling the journal digitally is not an option for me.
But...if I think of it really, starting it late is not that bad. Come May 17th, we shall find out Baby Manghud's secret - that is, what-is-between-the-legs! That would leave me enough time to find the right Boy stuff or Girl stuff for the Tummy Adventure Journal! Oh we can't wait!
Ok then, guilty feelings gone!
Last friday, we came to a shop in Mercato called Mamas&Papas. It was surely an eye-catching shop for expecting parents - everything you see is heavenly.
Zaiid my 1.9yo immediately fell in love with the place. He got off from his stroller, took off his shoes, grabbed a huge teddy ("brother bear" we call it) and jumped from one bedroom setting to another. He even wants to try on some walkers!
The prices, well, they're pretty up there. But I'm not complaining, everything you see is worth the penny. Although the maternity section don't please me that much :)
Sorry I can't help it, I need to steal a photo of my boy with that lovely setting!
i thought it might be cool to make a club of mothers like me - working mothers, scared mothers, mothers who love to design and are into the crafty-artsy stuff.
what if that club can provide mothers like me the desire to become World's Greatest Mother Hens (or at least to our family)?
what if there's a mothers club where mothers like me can share thoughts on parenting, enjoy our kid’s growing up years together and basically just support each other?
what if that club is so crazy that it can support each motherhood adventures?
i thought i might like to give it a shot. im going to create a mothers club called "wemake". and underneath there's a tiny line that says "babies.life.love"
Please let me know if you are in for the ride and if you have better ideas.
Lots Of Love,
Govinda
16weeks of bellylove... i can't believe my bump's growing this huge already. can't fit on my jeans anymore and im stuck with a skirt or dress. it actually feels comfortable, only that it gets too much attention.
im still taking Navidoxine (only on weekdays, before getting up), to ease my vommitting :( but im pretty sure babymanghud's doing just fine. a silent little angel.
for those of you who don't know, zaiid is fascinated with eggs. we have no idea why, but he's beaming with joy everytime he sees an egg. he opens the refrigerator, looks for that dull white oblong shape on the tray, and approvingly say to us with pride, "eggssss...." (yes, it has always been plural to him.) so far he has broken 4 eggs - by squashing it in his hand, by dropping it accidentally, by making it go like a car in an uneven surface.
like we always do every night since we got the news that we're having a second baby, i asked my little boy to kiss babymanghud (my bulging tummy). what he normally does is embrace me frist and i say i love you's, then kiss my tummy or burry his face on it. but last night was out of the ordinary. he touched my belly and looked up to me and screamed "eggs! eggs!" then kisses it then storms off to his playpen. i burst out laughing and hugging him.
but i think zaiid is right. my tummy is not far from the real egg - it is nurturing and protecting the developing life inside it. we can't wait to see you babymanghud, hatching from mama's tummy soon! we lovelove love you...

"...then we went to the henhouse to get some eggs. 'hello hens!'
'puck puck puck puck puck!' 'that's how hens say hello you know"

I am proud to announce that Bro and Zie are having a baby! Finally after two years of happily being married, they're getting their bundle of joy from heaven!
I just got a message from zie in my YM - asking me if it's ok to take pregnancy test late in the afternoon. Right then I knew this time it's going to be special. And confidently I said there's no stopping her at all! I was really excited on getting her to do it, while she was calm to say "cge be right back!". 20 minutes later, she came back and said "will send you something".
From my inbox was a photo of a positive sign! Goodness that afternoon pregnancy test was the third one! Well, we can't be too sure about something so wonderful!
Thanks for sharing the great news Zie! Enjoy your 9month adventure and we'll all be praying for your safe delivery and the baby's health.
