I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, which turned out to be the last appointment for me during this pregnancy...was supposed to have another appointment next monday but my doctor quickly changed her mind when the ultrasound machine showed the baby's weight at 8 pounds and 12 ounces..*that's like 3.9 kg*..and that's too big for my profile and he's just gonna get bigger if i go past the due date. So the nurse called the hospital right away to schedule an induction for me, my doctor wanted it to be sunday *January 18 - midnight*, the hospital has a spot open for me for that time..so it's all set...i'll be going to the hospital for the induction if i don't go to labor on my own until then. I'm kinda scared... but i'm trying to look at it from the bright side...at least i should be able to hold my baby by next monday..or tuesday the latest...no more waiting in uncertainty for me...YAY...! But i'm still hoping to go naturally before sunday though. Please please send some labor dust my wayy........=))
Wah cupu berat nih..dah lama nggak ber blogging ria. Padahal sih banyak yang mau di tulis..tapi kalo dah duduk di depan computer malah jadi susah konsentrasi nya dan malah browsing browsing message boardnya babycenter.com yang buat January 2004 baby. Lots of them have delivered the baby already…I’m so jealous. I wake up every morning thinking if today’s gonna be the day. Emang sih belum due date nya..perkiraannya weekend minggu depan..-tanggal 17- tapi ngarep2 bakalan keluar lebih cepet boleh doong..hehe.
So it’s 2004 already, I spent my new year’s eve watching the fireworks under the Ferris wheel at Forest Park, nothing fancy but enough to make me happy. Apalagi abis itu kita semua ke rumahnya Sam’s Family *dadah dadah ke Dinar*…jam 2 pagi makan sate kambing rame rame sama nonton video2 Klip nya inuL..hehe, had a good laugh there. Anyway, I haven’t made a new year resolution, I don’t think I’m gonna make one this time, abisnya nggak ada keinginan yang particular banget sifatnya..palingan yang general2 aja. Pokonya just continue to do whatever things I’ve been doing..only better..and I’m just hoping I will make an excellent mom.
My mom and my grandma arrived here last Monday..senengnya di bawain oleh oleh banyak..termasuk di bawain guling!. Kan disini nggak ada tuh guling, adanya body pillow..nah guling di Jakarta sekarang packagingnya yang di press banget gitu, jadi nggak melembung dan bisa di selipin di koper..pas plastiknya udah di buka baru deh ngegelembung, hehe..*.peluk peluk guling baru* Di bawain buku buku banyak juga including this gentleman’s book *JOMBLO*, tapi belom sempet baca sih. Trus di bawain juga Jakarta undercover-nya Moammar Emka yang kedua, buku nya Krisdayanti..emang sih males aja kalo di pikir nambah nambahin keuntungannya krisdayanti aja, tapi gimana dong..penasaran sih.:P…pingin liat foto foto candidnya jepretan Darwis Triadi.
Anyway..i guess i'm off to bed now...nite nite....
Being married is awesome...i trully recommend it...=)
teehee... just won a bid on ebay a few seconds ago..this is definitely the most pricey and valuable item we have ever bought online..the last few minutes of the auction was pretty intense..tapi emang kalo jodoh itu nggak kemana..=))
Weekend was fun, consist of good food..good people..good talk and good laugh. Went to have dinner at stir crazy on friday night. I'm officially addicted to it's famous banana wonton desserts, it's a fried wonton wrapper filled with banana and white chocolate, with cinnamon sugar, caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream on top of it...it's good for the souL. Sabtu nya pagi2 ke optik and then have brunch at a dannish pastries nearby..dan sorenya ke pengajian at deb's, it was the last time to be held in her house cause she's leaving for good end of this month..and since it was the last time....of course the food was special...*nyam2*....abis itu mampir ke rumah om bentar..ngobrol ngobrol. Minggunya bangun pagi..*hey 10 o'clock is considered early for sunday right?*....mandi2 dan langsung ke LULU for dimsum session...all 18 of us..rame banget deh..dan kita kalap gitu mesennya..hehe...abis itu strolling down delmar boulevard dan beli babelti. Trusnya ended up at Babies R us and got my baby a car seat...=))..The weather was unbelievably nice last weekend, around 50s...unlike the previous weekend where we were hit with snow. I can live in a weather like this forever...hari ini juga masih enak banget weathernya..i didn't even wear my jacket at all..too bad i had to work and deal with my bitchy manager instead of enjoying the weather outside....Oh by the way..they just upgraded the networking system at work, now we can share documents with other computers..making working in a team a lot easier..

There's nothing like a baby boy
to change the way you see things..
to make the world a
better, brighter place.
There's nothing like ten tiny toes,
bright eyes and little ears
or the sweet expressions
on his little face..
There's nothing like the pride
and joy of holding in your arms
the miracle of life,
so fresh and new.
There's nothing that compares
to the love that you will know
and the happiness
that's wished for each of you..

Dendre got a surprise baby shower at his office this morning...so he'll bring lots of gifts home today for the baby...hehee..how sweet of them...=)
My school is over this semester, so that's a good thing at least i can take one thing off of my mind...still don't know if i'm going to take classes in the spring or not, if the baby is born before the semester starts then i will go to school but if not then i will take one session off. Work is kinda crazy as end of the year is approaching but we handle everything OK i guess...and i just need to decide when i'm going to take my maternity leave..probably january the 6th or somewhere around that time as long as i have finished everything that is supposed to be finished before i leave..i just don't wanna leave a mess behind. Not sure when i'll be coming back to work..probably a month after, or maybe 2 months after the baby's arrived..or probably never?..huehe..we'll see...but at least we have a day care here at the office, so it shouldn't be that bad..

- I am thankful to be pregnant and still be pregnant..and that as far as I know my baby is healthy and growing right on track, this pregnancy has humbled me in more ways than anyone would think of
- I am thankful for my family who I'm extremely close with, for my wonderful hubby *ehm*..the way God brought us together is a miracle..
- I am thankful for the wonderful friends and everybody who's presence in my life makes it a joy
- Hmm..the list can go on and on down to the very little things *such as thankful that stretchmark is still nowhere in sight, etc etc*, i realized i have a lot to be thankful for..and i'm thankful for that fact..but now i. really. have. to. go.....tadaaa...
Just noticed that i have a full schedule this week...today was just like another monday..work and there were a lot of stuff that had to be done, mainly the database that consist of the people who are going to receive the fitrana money. If the Ied is tomorrow (which is most likely to be tomorrow) then i will pray in the morning at the St. Louis Community College, Forest Park..and then go pick up dendre at work around noon so he can come with me to my dr's appointment at 1.30, after that..dentist appointment is waiting at 3.15 for him..and then i will go straight to class from there all the way until 9. I have to work on wednesday..and go to carbondale right away after work for the basketball game, it's a 2 hours drive from here..so we probably will come back around mid-nite or so. And on thursday..we all gonna go to Springfield (about 1.5 hours away) for Ied open house..and then i have to work the next day...isn't that great that i still have to work on friday during the thanksgiving break?!?!..other people wake up early on that day to snatch some good thanksgiving sale deals at the mall but not me.. i will wake up early to go to work instead..hmm..something is definitely wrong here..*sigh*....but i'll try to take off early so we can go visit this new mall/outlet that just opened 2 weeks ago.
