Food Banzai Checklist...

At this juncture, I hard know how could I ever keep on sustaining my body since I can't seem to be able to smell almost everything, except for cereals and milk...THAT'S IT.

Bummer.

I'm a food-o-holic, thus having the appetite, yet refraining myself from eating due to the exasperating smells I can hardly stand, it truly is frustrating to me...

Oh month 3...please please please come a.s.a.p so that I could really satisfy my hunger pangs, minus the nausea attacks.

So here's pretty much the checklist that I have made; all the food that I have been craving....once I'm better, they're definitely gonna be attacked....faster than a speed of light...

1) Chili's Loaded Mash Potatoes (never fails everytime...)



2) Uncle Bob's fried chicken - skinless and fatless, deep-fried and mixed with heavenly spicy goodness..slurp!





3) Waterlily Cafe's Grilled Lamb Chops with Apple Coleslaw, Roasted potatoes and special Black Pepper Sauce.



4) Cream and Fudge Oreo Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Hot Caramel Fudge and Peanuts.....




Seems to me that the Baby's craving for everything Western! Hmmm... weird....

But there's one craving of which I know I just won't be able to have em' during this pregnancy period...sigh....

1) Coke (Gosh!)


2) Starbucks Venti Sized Caramel Frappe....

Buweeekkkk....

I'm in my 7th week.

And worst ever nausea attacks are not decreasing.

Sigh....

But surprisingly, I could only consume fresh cut fruits i.e green apples, green guavas and mangoes.

And drink Ribena.

Seems like a healthy diet kan?

Current weight: 47 kg....(not good, since I'm always narrowing towards 50....)..ain't feeling healthy and whole...

Cepatla habis 3 bulan ...... :(


-Jue-

Tension kicks in...and so does constipation

Being in this state of despair, one can only give pretty much 50% concentration to work (I'm simply revv-ing up the numbers to make myself seem "workaholic") and the other 50% battling morning sickness and constipation.

Last Wednesday, out of pure excitement and encouragement, I have taken the liberty to start shopping for Milk for Preggie Mommies (first time beb! wuhuu!)

So me being me, I research about almost everything! So naturally, the whole afternoon was being spent on "milk powder surveying".

Names like Enfamama, Anmum, Friso, Similac and S26 crawled through Google Search pages.

Anmum and Enfamama received the most reviews online...but the common comments by fellow preggie Moms were:

"Enfamama makes you gain weight cepat gile!" - gee, I don't wanna be puting on weight so fast! Not in my first trimester!


"Anmum rasa x sedap" - Dalam waktu ketika loya2 tekak ni, rasa macam kalau susu tu kurang sedap, lagi la tak boleh nk telan...

So mcm mana?

From reviews and advice that i have received, if you could drink maternal milk, you should. Since maternal milk provides the baby with high calcium for bone development, high folic acid for cell generation, DHA, as well as all the vitamins and minerals for the baby's growth.

So...off I went to Isetan that very day, and finally, I bought this:-


Details on the tin?

Friso^® Mum Gold is a tasty, nutritious milk supplement for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

It is the only maternal milk formulated with P2 Dual System™, which contains Friso^® Synbiotic Agent, a combination of Prebiotic and Probiotic.

What are Prebiotics and Probiotics?
Prebiotics are food for good bacteria and helps them grow. It also increases solubility of calcium, helping your body to absorb it.¹ Common types of prebiotics are long chain fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS).

Hmmm... since I've been hearing about preggies having constipation, the idea of having this P2 system that helps you ease yourself seems to be a good idea.

TODAY (12th September '11)

As per today, I have dilligently consumed one glass of Friso Milk per day. Memang no constipation problems. Alhamdulillah...

The flavour's nice, yummy vanilla...rasa macam milk shake.

My only grip?

As I'm having really bad morning sickness (and evening)...I do need  force myself utk telan secawan sampai habis..sigh...

can't wait for month 4...sigh.....

Kisah Perut dan Cravings

Buwekkks...

I'm already feeling the morning sickness effects, and constipation.
Never in my entire life, I've felt so bloated for a long span of time.

And a record of 4 times vomitting (just for yesterday)

Also,for the past few days, I have been having a weird craving for Crabs and Kangkung Belachan.

"Mak, nak Kangkung Belachan. Nak ketam...."

So weird.

So semalam, atas dasar kasihan ibu dan ayah, off we went to our frequently visited seafood restaurant in PD for a plate of Spicy Crab and Kangkung Belachan.

Surprisingly, Einstein pun tiba-tiba terasa nak makan Venison (Daging Rusa).

Wow,I'm not the only one having cravings ya?

Tapi memang sedap...


Never in my life had I enjoyed crabs so much as yesterday. I was pretty much licking every part (inner and outside) of the crabs,sucking the delicious crab juices mixed with the aromatic spices together.

Heavenly......

Oh, and not to forget, Kangkung Belachan never tasted so good......



I was in heaven yesterday....

The Epic Moment

So its finally positive. Gave me a real shocker at first...followed by a racing heartbeat.Immediately (naturally so, I picked up the phone and called Hubby..

"Honey, I'm pregnant"

Hubby was speechless...followed by a shaking, yet happy (kinda-sounding) tone

"That's good, Alhamdulillah..."

Ahahahah..so much for planning to "joli-joli hurrah-hurrah" dulu kan...

Tak apalaa...rezeki.

Next day (Tuesday, 6th Sept 2011) went to Tawakkal for a real clinical Blood test.

Results:Positve. 5 weeks +

Oh my god...I'm Gonna Be a Mommy....
