Dear Mini-mo,
(Before I proceed, please note that this letter is written not out of self-over-excited but because the sweet memory to be embedded forever, thus, if one day my Mini-mo is all grown up, she or he can read this memoir and treasure it.)
Mini-mo dearie, I have suspected your existence after only 2 weeks married to my other half. I have always follows closely my menstrual cycle and I knew the day I got married was the day 10th of the cycle. So armed with pregnancy kit, I carried out the test. And…..walla!!! Only one line appeared. I don’t why, I refuse to accept the result and wait 10 minutes more. Surprisingly, the second line started to appear though barely visible. I showed it to my other half. But he said “Mana ada line ke-2 nor. Pojie nampak satu line ajer”. Haish!!!
I forced him to buy me the 2nd pregnancy kit. I forced myself to drink 1 big glass of water just so I can pee-pee and carried out the test. The 2nd test was, negative. I’ve waited more than 20 minutes and the 2nd line never appeared.
My Mini-mo, this carrier of yours is one stubborn woman. I refuse to accept the result of the 2nd test. Though I admit that I don’t actually expect you very soon, but deep inside I know we have somehow ‘produced’ you. It just my instinct I guess. So the next day, I went to see the Doctor. The doctor carried out the test and again it turned out negative. It must be because I drank another big glass of water just before I went to the clinic to enable me to pee-pee. By now I have learnt a very important lesson. Pregnancy test is best carry out immediately after your wake up in the morning. And never ever carried out the test immediately after you have drinks a gallon of water. Because, believe it or not, twice I did that, and my urine was crystal clear and the result is useless.
I did tell your Mak Ngah (She refused to be called Mak Ngah. She wanted to be known as aunty Shidah. Cesss!!!) about the test and she forced me to do another test on my own. She herself bought me the pregnancy kit and this time around, not wanting to repeat my mistake, I did the test the next day after I woke up in the morning. And the 2nd line appeared clearly. But still, when I showed it to my other half, he said he couldn’t see any 2nd line. (Another lesson learnt lelaki samada buta warna atau mmg sengaja buat2 rabun).
The same day, I don’t know what caused me to do that, but I bought the 4th pregnancy kit. The result again was positive. By that time I was 75% sure that I am pregnant.
But, to convince the love of my life, the next day at work, I visited a clinic nearby my office. And thankfully, the result was as expected, positive. The doctor even calculated the due date; 4th March 2010.
I am relived by the result. My other half is happy. My father is more than happy, so do my siblings. Believe it or not, my siblings are the one who overly excited about my pregnancy. My mum is surprised and my mak metua is even more surprised. LOL.
So my Mini-mo love, on the 4th weeks after knowing that I ‘have’ you in me, together with the love of my life, we went to clinic Dr Soraya for routine check-up. And to my surprise, the doctor found it very difficult to locate you when she scanned my abdomen. LOL. I suspect it maybe because you were stationed very high in my womb. You were just as big as biji gajus. So I called you ‘my biji gajus’.
My dearest Mini-mo, by the time I’m writing this letter, you have probably into the 6 weeks of your growing. You have probably developed your cute little hand and more cute little legs and feet. So far you have been very ‘nice’ to me. You haven’t actually caused me any trouble. No morning sickness or afternoon sickness whatsoever. It just that, as I am already a picky eater, carrying you inside me make me fussier. I can only accept Nando’s Grilled Chicken, Rice and Fresco Salad with flavour Hot Peri-Peri, mangga lemak or nasi kerabu makcik best pasar malam seksyen 6. Aiyoooo!! I haven’t put up any weight but lose it some more. How la to keep you grow healthily my dear.
Some more, I rarely finish the food I bought but I find other people food or dish mouth watering. So beware you guys. Do not eat in front of me if you do not wish to share it with me.
Mini-mo, believe it or not, my siblings have come out with their specially selected beautiful name for you. Heheheh. At least, they keep me company and happy when my other half is away.
My loveliest Mini-mo, if it is ALLAH S.W.T will for you to truly be mine, we’ll see each other next year early March. Till then, please behave. I am easily tired nowadays though I rarely do any hard-work. I’ll pray always, every hour of the day for your health darling.

Hello all.
I’ve been away for quiet some time. Why? It is because I’m adjusting to my new life as a wife. And some more, I’m adjusting to my body needs, to all the changes that comes with the new being inside me. Yes! I am at the moment about 5 weeks pregnant.
Don’t I think it is too early for an extra company in the family? Nope! Because, I prefer to let things go with the flow, I shall let it be. I’m 28 this November by the way.
How are things going for me? So far so good, and it goes better everyday. My dearest hubby really surprises me. Never once that he lost his patient over me (I sometimes find myself very demanding and really annoying. I myself couldn’t stand me. But surprisingly, he can!!). And for that my dearest, I love you even more everyday.
Starting from today, he will be away most of the day. Maybe, if works does not envy us too much, we’ll see each other 3 days out of 7 days. But I shall not expect too high, for having chance to see each other 2 days out of 7 days is already heaven for me. I will miss him like crazy, that is for sure. No more hugging him before I left for works in the morning. No more him ‘teman’ me at every dinner (just to make sure that I finish my food). No more sending me and picking me up at commuter station everyday from work. No more mengada2, demanding for this and that anytime of the day. No more petting my head when I lay on his lap every time he finishes his prayer. No more his ‘dirty’ clothes laying everywhere in the bedroom. No more seeing him taking bath 5 to 6 times a day and ‘membebel’ to him, why oh why Jie mandi byk sgt ni? No more hearing him ‘warning’ me to ‘basahkan’ rambut every time I take my bath. Huhuhuhuhu. Now I feel like crying the Atlantic Ocean already. There are lots more about him, and us, that I am going to miss so much. But try to think about it in positive way, at least I am luckier than my mother. My father nature of work demands him to be away from home up to 3 months to 6 months. Last time when I was a kid, I remember not seeing him up to one year. But, their marriage last until today. So being away I guess make your love (to your spouse) goes stronger.
I am so going to miss him, my dearest husband, the love of my life, so very much.
I shall continue writing later.
~anor miss her laling so much~
