Mommy just can't help it (happy 2009!)

Ok ok i learned that we don't buy baby stuff before 7 months pregnant. That's what people say. I read once, the reason behind this is with old medical technology, baby's sex could only be found out on 7th month pregnancy. To avoid buying stuffs mistakenly, our seniors recommend us to be patient :) Well, another reason - this is just my interpretation ya - is that we should be patient, do more surveys prior to buying stuffs, and once we've done enough investigation, we can start buying them (with best option, best price, etc...). Another good thing of postponing baby-shopping is you'll be forced to walk a lot in the end of your pregancy (walking in the malls, in the stores, etc) and it's good for your laboring process. Well, just my 2 cents, and i simply can't help it :))))))))))

It's true that for some "heavy duty" stuffs, we will make necessary investigation. This includes: stroller, crib, car seat, carrier, .... I am keen enough to be patient. But for clothes...? especially during xmas time where you have sales everywhere...? my oh my, my shopping adrenaline is rushed, and i finally bought some clothes for bebe, cute ones off-course :) Anyway, at first i tried to be wise. I chose neutral colors over blue ones. But during my 2nd shopping rush... with buy 2 get 3 offer, i gave up and picked some blue clothings as well. huhuhuuu bebe, mommy hopes you'll like them all :)

I just now bought myself an electric breast pump. I've done weeks and weeks of survey, and the price keeps getting higher and higher...pfhhhhh. I'm quite pessimistic that there will be a price chute next year, that's why i decided to but it with a still reasonable price.

See? It's not just my adrenaline woking there, i still use some thoughts though. hahaha, another justification :)

Aaaaaany way, it's good to start your 6 days vacation when you've passed some critical point at work... especially during year end. We'll have a visit from nini, uwa, mang ade, a qistan and have a good time together in jakarta. bebe will see the doctor this week-end and mommy hopes nini will join this visit as well :) daddy is busy busy busy with whole new system to be settled in his office but he'll try to finish on 26, so 27-30 he'll stick with us :) aki is also busy with work, but hopefully he can join us. waiting good news from auntie na and bunda amer...hope we can meet this week as well :) and sending warm wishes to everyone we know...Enjoy your holiday and have a happy new year 2009!

akhirnya, kelar juga bikin ktp jakarta. setelah penantian selama lebih dari 8 bulan! akhir april, setelah transfer jakarta, langsung initiate pembuatan ktp. yang diperlukan: surat pindah dari kelurahan lama, surat keterangan kerja (suami doang, gue nebeng), surat jalan dari RT, RW, copy surat nikah, copy ktp dan kartu keluarga penjamin, foto. dari situ kita baru dapet Resi yang berlaku selama 6 bulan.

6 bulan kemudian, akhir oktober, lapor lagi ke kelurahan, dengan membawa (lagi2) surat jalan dari RT dan RW, fotokopi ktp dan kartu keluarga penjamin. baru turun surat tanda penduduk sementara (beuh, apa bedanya ma resi kalo gitu?). disuruh balik kurang lebih sebulan kemudian dan bawa foto.

Siang tadi, pertengahan desember, kita balik lagi ke kelurahan, dah jadi deh ktpnya, tinggal ditempel foto dan ditanda tangan.

Oya, tadi sekalian ngisi blanko untuk kartu keluarga. besok, dengan membawa foto (lagi), baru selesai dan bisa diambil kartu keluarganya.

Ya, seribet dan selama itu lah bikin ktp jakarta (dengan jalur yg benar lho ya) hehe.

Finalement, je suis officiellement jakartanaise :)

Pertanyaan selanjutnya, apa yang akan terjadi saat bebe lahir? hohoho ngurusin akte lahir, update kartu keluarga, ... dan kalau kita jadi bisa pindah rumah tahun depan, ... hohoho bikin surat pindah, ngurusin ktp dari awal lagi, ngetok pintu pak RT dan pak RW lagi... ke kelurahan lagi...

Life is simply not simple :)

26 weeks, 14 weeks to go. at this stage, i certainly don't want to let life pass me by. i promise to give you the best my precious one. nothing but the best. stick with me, breath with me, strive with me, we can make it :)

m.a.r.a.h

boleh ga sih ngambek sama bos? bukan bos sendiri tapi :) sebel deh, masa ngadain meeting rutin 2 kali seminggu di jam2 ga wajar?? say, jam 7 malem. mau kapan selsenya tu meeting? ga nyadar apa kalo ga semua orang seworkaholic dia...? ga semua orang mentingin kerjaan over quality time with family kaya dia...? boleh bilang crisis, tapi tetep ya, ini pan bukan on the spot meeting buat ngomongin certain issues due to crisis, ini r.e.g.u.l.a.r meeting! mending kalo bukan staf yg dapet uang lembur, ini mah kagak. coba tantang dia meeting jam 7 pagi (mending kalo dia udah dateng jam segitu). fufufufuuuu aku pengen maraaaah ama bos kamuuuu!!! untung seumur idup blom pernah dapet bos kaya gitu...hiii naudzubillah, jangan sampe deh. aduh pa, plis deh, orang ga nemu produk bapa sehari aja mah bisa idup ko pake produk orang laen... it's not like bbm ato elpiji yg emang udah seret dari sononya.

libur dataaang :) sabtu, minggu, senin, selasa (nambah cuti). senin pasti habis buat lebaranan: sholat ied, kurban di ciparay,... makanya nambah satu hari biar ga kecapean di jalan.

di bandung pengen banget ke cisangkuy dan bmc. duh, jkt selengkap apapun ga punya kafe yg punya specialties yoghurt :( jadi seringnya gue beli yoghurt di supermarket dan makan di rumah deh. kangen juga bisa sambil nongkrong, makan, dan nge-yoghurt :) seperti di cisangkuy dan bmc tersebut.. hehe harus dimasukan agenda!

oya, pengen liat2 keperluan bayi juga sebenernya, survey2 harga doang tapi. mungkin ga ya di bandung harganya lebih murah dari jakarta? sebagian besar barang di jkt udah naik harganya :( gara2 dolar naik.. mungkinkah imbasnya sudah sampai ke bdg? mari kita lihat dan buktikan bersama.

tapi yang paling penting sih pengen ketemu a qistan, aki, nini, uwa oki, mang ade ya be :)

yuk ah, selamat idul adha yaa semuaa..

seperti pagi2 lainnya, di jalan ke kantor kita dengerin rowan bakwan di jak fm. dan yg paling ear catching tadi pagi adalah: kita baru tau kalo sting mau konser di spore tgl 8 desember ini! tapi oh tapi... kurang seminggu lagi ya, apakabar dengan harga tiket pesawat? trus, wait.. pas hari idul adha? yg bener aja! belum rupiah yg lagi jatuh... dan pas gue cek harga tiketnya, paling murah 100 S$. makasih deh... ntar2 aja lah, ama si bebe hehehe (keukeuh).
