All those are tests

We're being tested this month. With lots of thing to manage and think of. These are the few that i have to share, or else my head will explode.

But anyway, we're still very alive and normal. So, i guess, we manage our tests and pass it. And thank Allah for always be there and reminding us that we're His servant.

Demam campak
----------------
Ilhan first got it.. 'demam campak' ! she's not happy about the rashes and itchiness, but she's ok, she can still enjoy her play time and sleep soundly except for the first night infection.

Then the virus infect khairin. At first, she seemed ok. Mild fever, 2 vomitting session and diarrhea, but her rashes were all small. And i took for granted. I went to KL for a workshop, leaving them with the babysitter, thinking that the infection would not be any severe.

Bad news on my arrival to penang. Khairin's back is horribly 'mengelupas'. Pity her, the rashes turned to 'kudis'. And sometimes, it bleeds. Alhamdulillah, she's a strong girl. She cries, but she did not 'merengek'. And lucky her for having Ilhan as sister, Ilhan played with her, so she can forget the pain.

That contributes to my 2 days urgent leave. And my 2 days of work will be loaded tomorrow...

The pregnancy pain
---------------------
I have never feel this pain during the first two pregnancy. All the 3 trimesters are ok, even though not comfortable. But this time around, the pain is unbearable. It is only my 4th month, but i feel difficult to walk. At first, i thought its the shoe, or maybe my fast walking pace, but shoes changed and i walked slowly now, i still find it difficult to lift my leg and walk straight without pain.

In addition to that, i also face sleeping problem. I find it hard to get a good sleeping position, let alone to have a good 6 hr sleep. I woke up at least 3 times every night, and laying down is painful.

The financial planning
----------------------
We haven't discuss it seriously yet. Maybe because hubby knows it is going to be a headache. But with the baby coming, we need to do the planning. We're still maid hunting, eventhough now there are other options, like the old babysitter is willing to take care all of them (which of course will cost us a lot more than hiring a maid, but at least we know our babysitter is an expert of babies and kids, and she would not run away), and sending ilhan to kindy.

Afterall, the cost would increase. But at least, with planning we'll see options, and ways to manage the increasing cost.
