Quack, Quack

Butt feels huge, and waddling from 1 place to another exhausts me! I was out of breath just walking up the stairs!! Am i unfit, overweight, wuts going on??

These days im also a walking zombie. The office is on a warpath with anyone that comes to work late, so i've been dutifully dragging myself out of bed, having a 3min shower, getting dressed in 2mins, feeding the cats, and saying bye to my dear ciku (this alone can be a 10min affair). By the time i reach work, im blearry eyed and starving cos i dont have time to fix myself breakie.

Ciku's also pushing all our buttons. Im pretty sure she senses that her life's going to be upside down pretty soon, so there are lots of tears for lots of petty reasons. It's just not in me to raise my voice or be abusive, so i try to talk her through her issues or distract her.

Last night Oma introduced her to painting and she was so happy about it that she was willing to stay over at Oma's for the night.
Daddy: Bye ciku, mummy and daddy are going home now.
Ciku: Bye mummy, daddy. Miya paint!

She was SO upset about having to stop the activity that she cried and even hit daddy (thats a rarity, me thinks).

Hopefully we'll get to paint this weekend. She's also showing promise as a sportswoman, playing tennis with her masak-masak set pans and an imaginary ball.

As for baby B, he's been very active, and sometimes i think i feel his heartbeat when i put my palm to my tummy. Hubby n i seem to have found a name for him, but we'll see...Nowadays we talk to ciku a lot about her adik, and she seems to be able to understand. I hope adik wont bully his kakak.
