It's a Baby Girl!!

I thought I would feel depressed... Sigh.... Another person has safely delivered a baby while my womb is still empty...

Strangely, I handled such depressing thought much better this time. I can even feel happy for my boss who has just delivered a baby girl at around 7.30am this morning. Maybe I've learnt to accept tht I can't shy away from all the pregnant women around me (seriously... I used to avoid pregnant women like the plaque because I can't handle their protruding tummy presence).

Come to think of it... why do I want to endure such pain of labour when a small ear piercing sent me howling... when a centipede bite made me cry & vomit (hehe... tht is another story fr my past... I'll see if I have time to write abt it later). My boss shared with me tht the feeling after delivering a baby is like the southern region has "koyak-rabak". My sis-in-law described it as worse than having someone slashing your arm... :-) Maybe all these talks is making me think twice of having a baby....

Hah! Who am I kidding... I still want at least 1. I'll just bid my time... again...

More Funnies in Quotable Quotes

I came across this quote from Rita Rudner (errr... dunno who is she)
"I know I want to have children while my parents are still young enough to take care of them"

then I thought...
"I know I want to have children while my parents are still alive to see them!!!"

Lately, everyone in hubby's family is super worried of my father-in-law. This year is really a bad year for him, health wise. He had pneumonia & his heart enlarged for some reason. So he was put on medication that he has to take daily - about 10-15 pills. He lost a lot of weight that his "smiling-Buddha" tummy has totally disappeared! A few months later, he recovered a bit....

Recently he had prostate problem again (this is his 3rd / 4th re-occurance) & had to go for a minor surgery again so that he can urinate without pain. But he needs to be on medication again & his already haggard body looks worse now...

The pressure is on me again to quickly have a kid & hopefully it's a boy too!! Sigh..... So now you know why I came up with the statement above?

Status update on my current un-pregnant condition?
Well, I was refered to another gynae who supposedly made numerous women with problem, pregnant (errr.... by the way, the gynae is a she, so when I said made women pregnant, I don't mean the gynae doing it! :-p) & the clinic is in Seremban. As usual, she got my background & stuff & she found out tht my hubby & I live separately because of our work location, but we do meet about at least 4 nights a week (more if it's my "fertile" period). What she said next was surprising.... maybe it was her attempt of joking & putting us at ease. She said "Well, meeting more often might not neccesarily mean higher chances anyway. After 5yrs of marriange, it's not like you wanna do it everyday anymore..."

huh.... hubby & I looked at each other....

:-) Well.... I'm not going to declare my sex life in the internet, but after 5-yrs, so far so good.... (minus the sometimes stress of baby-making thoughts)...

Experience of Using The Ovulation Kit

Before I proceed, excuse me if this article offends your sensibilities. I would like to forewarn, if you can't take the details, to stop reading now......

Man.... I thought taking my urine sample for the ovulation testing would be easy. But with me being diuretic (i.e. I need to pee almost every other hour), it's difficult! The kit's instruction says I must make sure I do not pee for 4 hours before taking urine sample for the test. They suggest mornings right after bed. Problem is, I woke up at 4am to pee, 6am to pee & 8am just before I start work I pee again.... All within the span of 2hrs.... & tht is with me refraining from drinking / eating (cos' food has water content too).

So I've been holding it now since 8am, not peeing, so tht I can take my sample at 12 noon. What a torture!!! & I've not even taken breakfast, just to stop liquid from flooding my "small" bladder!

What's worse, the instruction says I need to maintain relatively the same timing of day for all my tests. So if I do my 1st test on 12noon, I need to make sure all my other tests in subsequent days needs to be at around 12noon too. Ahhhh!!!!!!! Tht would be almost daily torture of no breakfast!!

I gotta seriously find a way to solve this problem... Wonder if with all my "holding it" for so many tests, my "south-region" organs & muscles may be better "trained" to "hold-it" better in future - so I don't need to take the "extreme" action of not ingesting anything, liquid / solids for the whole 4-hours duration!

Or maybe I should just find another ovulation kit... Maybe this is just the "cheap" 1 tht is more of an instrument of torture - since we're not paying the premium... (I wrote "cheap" cos' even the cheapest kit I can find costs about RM8/test stick - after discount mind you....). The other expensive ones can cost up to RM20/test stick. Bet tht type is hyper sensitive where u can pee every 15mins & still be able to take the test!!

Then again.... All of them had the instructions on a slip of paper in the box & not printed on the box... There must be a reason for tht... Yea... they don't want us to know tht we're supposed to be tortured to get tested.... :-p

Ok.... 10mins more & my torture will be over! It's now 11.50 & counting!.....

p/s: Fortunately I'm at home.... Otherwise my office mates will be wondering wht's happening to me "clamping" myself / wiggling on the chair all the time for the last 4 freaking hours... That would be embarassing....
