back at work after taking a couple of days off for my birthday. not that i did anything special; this year's bday has been the most chilled-out bday ever. although there weren't any celebrations, i guess i didn't mind - guess we mellow with age, huh?
R took the day off on monday - to accompany to run errands the whole day. yup, i'm still running around all over kl to settle stuff -some that isn't even my responsibility. but what to do. anyway, slept in a bit then headed over to the sister's uni to settle some of her accommodation stuff; which after all the never-ending drama, i just wnted to settle once and for all. luckily sister goes to one of those 90210 campuses which has their own starbucks; so we had time to grab a quickie breakfast - mine was hot choc and choc chip banana muffin - can't go wrong with that :)
once that was done, we headed over to check on the baby nursery that was in our shortlist for jigglyboo. by early march, i'll start work again and my mom will take over for a couple of months but i don't wanna burden her with taking care of an infant - she has other stuff she wants to do as well - her morning walks, her vacation trips, etc. and she and my dad and other sis are going on a two-week trip by the end of april, so we've decided to start sending jigglyboo to the nursery from may onwards. she'll be about 4months plus by then so hopefully she'll be okay. R's parents are worried that we're sending her to strangers instead of our own relatives - i guess they're kinda surplussed why my mom doesnt wanna take care of jigglyboo full-time like they do for their other grandchild. but i feel like this is the best solution for everyone - this is our little family, and i don't want anyone to feel obligated to be taking care of our infant child; it's not an easy job. plus i want her to get proper care. and all of my siblings grew up in nurseries, so it's not a new concept to us.
anyway, it'll just be for the first year or so. as soon as there's an opening at the creche downstairs at the office, we'll definitely move her. just gotta make some tough choices for now, but hey, no one said it'd be smooth sailing. but as of now, i'm happy with the choices we've made and insha Allah, we'll be happy parents to a bouncing jigglyboo soon enough!
after stopping to buy a quick lunch at home, headed on to our appointment with my gynae. as usual, we got there a bit earlier and were the first patient to see him, yay. spent a little bit more time talking to him than usual - because i had a list of questions i wanted to ask him. he explained a lot about what to expect - everything else seemed to be normal - then set our next appointment for another three weeks, in week 39 (if i don't pop yet by then haha).
only planning to work for another two and a half weeks; so planning on asking if he can issue medical/rest leave by then. i think he'll be okay with the plan. also got the letter that HR needed to process the issuance letter of my GL. everything seems to be on track so far so lets just hope for the best. at this rate, it's pretty much just a waiting game for us.
jigglyboo, your daddy and i can't wait to meet you. and we just want you to be safe and healthy.
