A Homemaker’s Diary

It’s been quite some times since my last update, I know. I have been not well with pregnancy sickness since Ramadhan 2013, and Alhamdulillah I am now getting much, much better.

Many things have been put on hold since then. I was terribly sick day and night, even worse than the first pregnancy. It started with nausea, then the vomiting phase, I have no appetite to eat anything and spend most of the time sleeping.

By the time I can drag myself for the first pregnancy check up, the baby was almost 15 weeks..huhu! Even the gynae was shocked since I said we haven’t met any doctor since we realized I have missed my period in July. This week we are going for the monthly check up and hopefully we’ll be able to see the baby’s gender (baby please don’t be shy so that Mama will know whether to buy you a pink or blue romper..haha!)

Dear Son has been very cooperative since he knew how tired Mama could be. He even potty trained himself successfully to the extent of washing up after he poops. Amazing the way Allah plan as I never thought this day will come especially when I am so lethargic with the pregnancy sickness.

Now that the terrible sickness phase is over I am really looking forward to get ready to welcome our second born child. Oh, happy 5th birthday to dear Son (according to Islamic calendar). He was born on the eve of Aidil Adha. I remember hearing the takbir from the nearby mosque the morning after he was born. Thank you Son for the bittersweet 5 years, making me a mother and teach me the value of patience and unconditional love.

To the rest of the Muslim readers, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha. May you always be blessed.

I was searching for new materials on pinterest today when I came across this.

It motivates me to start writing on the blog diligently (again!). We’ll see whether I can keep the spirit on..haha!

Time does fly very fast this year..don’t you think so? It’s already April..sigh!

In terms of what I want to achieve this year, I think only about 10% of it is in the running, the rest I am still struggling with daily life to properly execute them into action..huhu! Even updating this blog becomes such a chore that I keep on putting off the effort.

I wonder where can I get back all the determination and motivation. This must be one of the bad days, right? Hope it will pass soon.

I know, I know..it’s been a while since the last update..well, I am so busy completing the orders for Feb/March 2013 wedding that somehow I just don’t have the energy to type anything even though I have a lot to share.

People always have resolution when it comes to ushering in a new year. My aim this year is to relax more and enjoy motherhood. No more massive orders to be taken once the March order is completed. More focus will be on home schooling my son.

So, welcome 2013..hope the year will bring abundance of joy, wisdom and strength.

For those who know me on FB, you will notice that I keep on posting pictures of my roses almost daily now..hehe! Well, the truth is somehow my fertilizing method and foliar spray effort after the deadheading and massive pruning for the last 2 months did work very great in producing many blooms.

This was taken a few days ago after a heavy rain. Nice, right? The raindrop on the sweet pink petals..the thing with roses, you have to snap the picture on the day it starts to bloom, otherwise once it has overbloom you won’t get to see all the nice and curvy petals it has (sound like slim girl turning into fat aunty, huh?)

Will share more pictures of my roses later..happy Wednesday, people!
