Being Pregnant is Weird

One experience exclusive to pregnant women is the feeling and sight of involuntary movements across the surface of my belly.


People've been telling me that later I'll see the distinct outline of an elbow jutting out from the side, and then probably discuss with Andi whether it was an elbow, or a knee... or maybe head?

A friend from Malaysia told me that when she got pregnant with her firstborn, after spending about 15 minutes napping on her right, she woke up with a lopsided belly, where the right side of her waist was bigger than the left.


Her baby probably slid to the right, and stayed there for a bit even after she woke up.
She said, 'why are you there?' and then she felt some shuffling INSIDE of her — voila! A perfectly symmetrical belly all over again.

Being pregnant is strange.
.... but Im loving it a whole lot! :)

And no, I still haven't gotten over that bursting belly button fear.
Udah makin ceper nih udelkuuh! hiks!


Anyway, strangest thing happen today.

I was happily typing and (pretend to be) working really hard when I felt a sudden rush of tears streaming down.
I thought, what the heck is so wrong with me??


And as if that weren't enough, I suddenly felt the urge to meet Andi.
I missed him a whole lot!
Now, THAT never ever happen before.
I miss him sooo much that I literally shed tears.... in the office????


Buset daah!!
I think it's hormones.

Next thing I knew, I bought a cup of coffee thinking "Im gonna drink coffee so that I can stay awake a little longer tonight and spend more time with him"


After a 1/4 cup of coffee later, Im typing this right now.
Feeling all silly and smiling at what just happened.


Conclusion:
Being pregnant is weird and strange.... in a good way :)

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Lavender and Butterfly

My very first (and probably my last) tattoo. Why lavender ?  Because I love the smell.  I love the colour.  Lavender is pretty much the only plant that stays alive in my garden. It thrives in pretty much any weather with very little care. It lives with a big bunch of other lavenders but it can also lives on its own little bundle. It shows strength, and grace. Butterfly means beauty. Not just superficial beauty... but beauty after a storm. Beauty that was earned.  Like, after it went through struggles from a cocoon. Plus, you see butterfly (normally) in a great weather. Adds the beauty to the surroundings, like a balance in the universe.  Psalm 23:6 , is what I really resonate in my life.  That no matter what, no matter where, no matter how many bad decisions I’ve made.... God’s goodness and mercy is always with me. That I’m okay. That the God who made the universe loves me still.  That regardless how fucked up I am, His goodness and mercy is always wi...

A Wife's Heart

Postingan kali ini buat Andi. Feel so blessed beyond words punya suami kaya beliau. Walo banyak rese n nyebelinnya juga. He works really hard. I mean REALLY hard. I know I've complained about him being too busy, but lately he changed. Yes, dia masih sibuk banget di kantor. Yes, dia masih suka 'nyetrap' gw di mobil suru tunggu. Tapi I know that family is his top priority. The house is almost done. Andi spent hours last Sat and Sun buat bebersih rumah. Gw ga boleh ikut. "masih debuan banget" - gitu katanya. He knows Im allergic to dust and frankly, what can a pregnant woman possibly do? Ga mungkin juga kan gw ngangkat2 furniture. Naek tangga aja suka engap. Dapet laporan dari Otoy, Andi ngangkat2 barang ampe mukanya merah, ampe kringetan ngeces2... Gw tau dia pasti cape banget. Tapi begitu pulang he brought nothing but his big, warm smile. "Udah. Nanti gw sekali lagi kesana, finalize bersih2 - then you can come. Tuh gw beliin kelapa, mau diminum sekarang ga?...
