Hi!
A thousand apologies! :))
In a few days' time(8 days to be precise), my lil girl will be turning 1!!
That is a huuuuuuuge accomplishment personally for DH and myself..
It meant that we survived the first year!! Woohoo!!
Auni has 6 teeth now..My lil pirahna..Her hair is longer and wavy..She can even walk!! Steady la!! She decided to give her Abah a special treat by walking independently on Father's Day..
And yes, she can say, 'Abah'..But not 'Ummi'..Tsk tsk..Favoritism.. :P
As her birthday approaches, I have to say that her party has been on my mind 24/7..I have been planning ever since she was 6 months old..Bit by bit, I gathered ideas..
So when I found out that DH's side wants to hold her party elsewhere, I have to admit that I wasn't pleased..It mattered as half of the invitation cards has already been posted out..And I only bought whatever that can fit my home..
Nevertheless, after deep thoughts and persuasion from DH, I slowly warmed up to the new idea..It hasn't been easy for me to adapt to the new change but I kept saying to myself that all they want, is to help..And I should be thankful..
I think some people might have misunderstood me..I just didn't want to trouble them..I want them to come and enjoy the party..I don't want it to seem like I am taking advantage of their generosity..
*sigh*
That was then..
All's well now..Alhamdulillah..I learnt to step back and open up to new ideas..
I think being an Ummi has mellowed me a little.. :P
8 more days!! Oh my goodness..
I am getting more excited now!! :))
Xoxo

I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mum,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mum,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mum,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mum.
Before I was a Mum,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mum,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
Before I was a Mum,
I never used to lie in bed awake worrying about where my 18+ child was
Always waiting to hear the key in the door when they came home at some ungodly hour
And that they still puke
That the puke is not from being overfed
But because they over indulged
One always thinks that when they are growing up
They will still be your little angel
Before I was a Mum,
I used to think that when kids grow up
They will look after you
That when they get married
You don't have to worry about them
But then they start having children and you worry about them
Before I was a Mum,
I didn't think I would have to be a Marriage Counselor
You think that they are all grown up
That they can deal with their own stuff
But as a Mum you still feel their pain
The same pain as when they first had that immunisation shot
Before I was a Mum,
I thought that my kids would have learnt at school about banking and finances.
But when you become a Mum you become the banker and the financier
Mums will always give, or lend, that extra twenty bucks.
Before I was a Mum,
My Mum told me that your children are only on loan to you that they are there for you
To nurture and look after
To love and be loved back
Just as I love my Mum
And I know that she loves me back
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mum.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mum
And before I was a Grandma, I didn't know that all those "Mum" feelings more than doubled when you see that little bundle being held by "your baby"...
To all mothers and grandmas..More especially to my beloved mummy and mak..
I love you two sooo much!
:*
Btw, my mummy said, 'the words in red really express my feelings.... tremendously.'
*tearing*

So what has my lil Auni been up to?
Now she insists on climbing onto and then standing with me..Be it, if I am busy in the kitchen, or busy ironing..She will grab my clothes and stand up..It can be a hassle, especially when I am in the kitchen..So this lil girl learnt to stand by holding onto my kitchen drawer handles.. :P
Look at that cheeky girl!! :P
Auni in baju butterfly!!
I still can't believe there is one in her size!! Hahaha!!
Carbon copy of her Abah..Bluekz!!
Ok, gtg..My sisters are hungry and I need to grill fishes for them..
That's one more reason why I love holidays cos my sisters will sleep over and we have so much fun together..
Toodles!!
