My dear baby,

I can feel your vigorous movement today. Mama had had a hectic morning, thus I didn't pay that much attention to you. I guess you felt ignored, thus the strong kicks on my side. Naughty you eh baby.

Last week your daddy came "home" earlier than usual. I can see that he misses us more and more nowadays. We both can't wait for you to come out so we can play with you and love you with all our heart. Uncle Haikal and Aunty Emi bought you a stroller last weekend. It's the shade of a pretty green and grey and they were so excited to assemble the thing. In fact, I think they were more excited than me. Aunty Emi bought you a few cute stuff as she find them irresistable. You are a lucky boy and you should appreciate the fact that everyone can't wait for you to be here. So, mama hope you'll be a good boy when you come out later kay.

Later that night, after they both went back home, mama and abah took turn to push the stroller around the house and it was then that I finally saw your daddy's excitement and anticipation of your arrival. He was pretending that you were already lying in there and crying while he tried to console you. He looked real funny you know.

Mama feel excited too, eventhough I have deep fear of the upcoming labour. Everyone knows that labour is painful and hardwork, and I'm totally scared of how it's going to turn out for me. But when I think of the moment you'll be blinking your baby eyes looking around, trying to drink in every detail of this new world revealed to you...I get all keyed up and thrilled. I know it's gonna be worth the pain and hardwork just to hold you in my arm and have you by my side.

You know, mama gets a bit annoyed and fed up with people asking me how it's gonna be like after you're born. Of course I have my own plan,and abah has agreed for me to take unpaid leave to be with both of you in P*enang. Mama don't mind so much if people asked me out of curiosity. But most of the time after I tell them, they'd be giving their 2 cents which in my opinion, doesn't worth even a penny. Mama paling tak suka when these people started to suggest that I ask your abah to quit his job and come here to be with me. Hey...suka hati la it's our life. My husband earns more than I do (which means that he earns MORE THAN U DO TOO okay!), so why should I ask him to quit his job just so I can continue working here. It's not like it's gonna be the end of the world if I lose this job (which I've no intention in quitting YET, if everything goes according to plan). Sometimes, I feel so irritated with these people's behaviour and thinking that I DO FEEL LIKE leaving the job and everything that comes with it behind. I pray that you won't be like that when you grow up later kay my darling boy. I wouldn't want u to be a keypoh person and try to interfere with other's life.

Mama is a bit worked up now. I guess it's the pregnancy hormone that makes me want to lash out at everyone who crosses my path nowadays. People say I'm more garang now, I say just bear with this pregnant lady okie. Or else, don't cross my path. :-p

My dear boy,

I need to continue with my job now. I will write more to you when I have the time. Till then, you take care and be good in there kay.

Awaiting your arrival,
Your Mama
