my grattitude.....

alhamdullilah......my syukur to Allah swt..for making my day the bestest today..coz i went to KK for my baby's detailed growth scan..he is 2.48kg now,all active and healthy,my sugar level is normal and my diabetes blood test came back good..well controlled it meant..i was over the moon..i was very paranoid and worried..coz i haven't been eating well..and my weight has decreased..i was really thinking that my baby won't be growing so well..but all assumptions ended today..and my students did well for their semester tests..another bonus which highlighted my good mood..we decided to go to my moms after the checkup..they are leaving for umrah this sat evening and i won't be going to see them off..airport would be way too crowded and with the spread of H1N1..i have to be wary..and i'm too heavy to be up and about...so hubby,the ever darling son in law will send them off...we went to buy food for break fast...northpoint is so crowded now..you see the mall has renovated and they got nice shops now..and a spacious starbucks..very nice..i would be grateful for a mall of somekind in Punggol soon..its kinda boring that we have to go somewhere else just to enjoy a cuppa...ok,my maid no.3 has been with us for 2 weeks now..and i'm pretty satisfied with her and the way she does her chores..i really hope that she will continue to do a good job and stay with me thru out these next 2 years..i'm more relaxed now..don't have to tire myself doing housework..having a maid is a big help...infact i hardly do anything now except teach my students and entertain my 2 kiddos..Firdaus,i'm preparing him for P1..the thing is my firstborn is a softie..who doesn't wanna grow up just yet,after enjoying so many years of undivided love and attention..he still sometimes think and behaves like he is the only child..i constantly have to nag,whine,remind,yell even to make him understand that he has 2 younger siblings eventually and he has to set a good example by being an elder brother...to which half of the time falls on deaf ears..he just simply smile at me sheepishly or changes the subject by diverting the topic to something else..and its hard to scold him when he does that..don't assume that he is a brat or very spoiled..far from it actually,its just that he has been a very loving,affectionate boy since a baby..now my 2nd born,whoa..that one is something else i tell you..maybe somehow,he knew he would be an elder brother soon enuff..coz he is all gungho and one hell of a tough cookie..he knows what he wants..and he gets what he wants..he ain't afraid to try new stuff..and clearly voices out his opinions..whether its positive or negative..i'm pretty amazed how children differ in behaviours..and you could actually tell at such a tender age..Allah's greatness..i'm curious to find out what my no.3 will be like..whatever it is..my kids have taught me a great deal so far..and my knowledge thru their eyes is priceless..my journey thru motherhood is one road i would walk thru again and again if given the chance..without my children..i would just be full on the outside but empty on the inside...alhamdulillah..i'm grateful to Allah..i may not have everything that I want..but i do have all that i need..and i have my family,my darling husband and my beautiful children..and that's where my strength comes from to overcome hurdles and tests thru this life....
