Anna Counting 123

Anna surprised me daily. She always shows me something new. This morning, when I am inside bathroom, Anna walked in and gives me her morning hug. Then she look at my pajamas, is a BIG-T with 3 kitty cats print. She points at the cat, and start counting 1...2....3..... I am soooo surprise; daddy and I quickly give her a big clap. 

Guess she learned this from Barney CD :)

 

Christmas Day

We went to Glad Tithing Church, Klang on Christmas Day. My brother in law was preaching on that day. He preached a great message and accepted well by the congregation Anna was very good girl on that day, she seems enjoying the service too :)

After the service, the church provide buffet lunch at a club house. The foods were very good. We reached home around 3pm, and everyone was so tire. We all took an afternoon nap.

At night, around 9pm, we were heading to KLIA to send my BIL off. This is his first time flying with Qatar Airline. Qatar Airline allowed 40kg luggage allowance. I filled his bag full with foods. 20 pieces of "zong", a lot of instant noodles, junk food, luncheon meat, "yok gon", etc. I am sure my sister and nieces will be very happy when they open his luggage :)

We had our Christmas Eve dinner at Bubba Gump. I brought my camera along, but when the food come, we just busy eating and totally forgotten about taking the pic :P For Christmas eve, they only served set menu, no ala carte order. The set was price at RM 69.90++ and RM 79.90++. The set consist of appetizer, main course and desert. The food was not bad, and the portion was huge. We ordered 2 sets and shared among 3 of us (me, hubby and my brother in law) My brother in law, Tony, was in KL for the pass 2 weeks for some church meeting and staying in my house, this is his first Christmas without his family for the pass 15 years. After he married my sister, both of them went to Nairobi, Kenya as missionary. You can read more about their ministry here.

Shopping In Mid Valley

Today after sending Anna to my sister place (my 2nd sister help me to baby sit Anna whenever I need to go out), I went to Mid Valley meeting my best friend for lunch. We had a "Dim Sum" lunch at Spring Garden. The food was quit good and fresh, we had a great chit chat time together.

After lunch, I went for shopping. I am looking for some maternity cloth. I love one of the blue strips blouse in Mother Club, but they were running out of my size, the sales person was very helpful, she help me to order it from their head office and I can collect it by this Friday.

I am actually looking for a pair of maternity jeans pants. I had been looking around for it for quit some time. Finally today I found it at Miki Mom in Isetan, with 50% discount! I bought a pair of jean and a pink blouse from there.

I am so glad that my belly is not too big for this pregnancy, I can shop around for few hours without taking a rest. Today shopping trip is a fruitful trip. But guess hubby will show me his "surprise face" when he receive his month end credit card statement ;)

 

Christmas Party II

We had a great family time on last Saturday. Anna was so happy that she can play with her little coursin.  My nephew is 5 years old, but they dont see have any age gap problem. They were running the house and Anna took out all her toys to share with her little "ko ko".

During the presents exchange, i got kitchen mitten, sewing kits, eye mask and paper clip. My sister put all of it in a box to make up a RM 20 gift. Hubby got a box of Ferrero Rocher chocalate. Other than this, we also received some personal gift from family.

Anna, the youngest in my family for the moment, received a lot of presents from all her uncle and aunties. We still have not open the presents yet, we will keep till Christmas.

BTW, my sister bought a chocalate banana cake from Secret Recipe, and she was in hurry, so she decided not to put any wording on the cake. When we open the cake, we have a good laugh about it. It look so weird.

Hubby plan to bring us out on Christmas Eve for dinner, we might be going to Bubba Gump at The Curve. 

Where will you celebrate your Christmas?

Christmas Party

Today i will host a small Christmas BBQ party at my house, i only invited my family members. We will have a present exchange too. I had prepared 1kg of BBQ Honey Sausage, 1 kg BBQ Cheese Sausage, 1kg BBQ cocktail, 6 bottles of homecoke herbal tea, potatoes and sweet potatoes. My eldest sister will bring chicken wings, pork chop and "tong yuen" as desert. My other sister will bring some jelly and a Banana Chocolate cake from Secret Recipe. I think the food should be more than enough for total of 15 of us, including kids.

Hubby busy assembling new BBQ stove, is a free gift from CitiBank.

Hope tonight will not rain, or else everyone have to come into the house.

Annabelle's Birth Story

This is my first post on my blog, and it will be a back dated post. 

Annabelle is my first and long wanted child, we had waited more than 4 years for our first baby. I had been through 2 miscarriage and 2 IUI sections. None of the treatment work for us and we had been thru many stressful test. After covered by a lot of prayers from family and friends Anna was conceived in a natural way.

I experienced terrible morning sickness for from 8 weeks till 14 weeks, instead of gaining weight, i lost 3 kg in first trimester. ( Well, by end of the pregnancy, i gained 2okg!!!!)

Anna was born through a C-Section due to my BP. My BP shoot up and even medication cant control it. My BP was 140/110 and my gynae decided not to take any risk, so Anna was born 2 weeks earlier than her actual due date.

Anna birth weight is 3.00 kg and 52 cm length.

23th April 2007 is the happiest day in my life :)
