Dia sungguh suka dengan Mak Ngah dia ni.... especially bila aku dirikan dia atas perut ...gelak besar dia...aku layan blues lah sronot tgk baby gelak mengekek.. layan punya layan tetiba mak aku berkata sesuatu yang aku rasa agak nak terperanjat:
" Mak: Hah tu suka sangat tu sure kat dalam tu geng dia "
Aku terkedu sambil terpikir.. what if Junior is a baby girl? selama ni aku duk terbayang2 Jr going to be a boy since many times scanning done at Gangga Clinic, Doc will said it's a boy..mungkinkan scanning machine tu salah bagitaw jantina? That's y my baby size so small sbb dia pompuan???Aku dh prepare everything towards having a baby boy.. including nama...so far tak pernah plak terpikir nama baby girl...so up to saat ini aku masih dok terpikir.. what if....

Here's when you can expect several key pregnancy milestones to happen. (All dates are best guesses, since every woman's pregnancy is different).
Doctors start counting pregnancy from the first day of your last period, so at conception you're considered 2 weeks along.
See what happens in your body during conception.
This week or next, you should be able to see a positive result on a home pregnancy test.
See what your baby looks like in your womb at 4 weeks.
At your next prenatal visit, you'll be able to hear your baby's heartbeat for the first time.
See what your baby looks like in your womb at 10 weeks.
If you decided to wait until the riskiest period was over, it's now safe to announce your pregnancy.
See what your baby looks like in your womb at 14 weeks.
Your baby can see light now (through eyelids that are still fused shut) and may move if you shine a flashlight at your belly.
See what your baby looks like in your womb at 15 weeks.
What else is happening with your baby? To get a fascinating weekly update customized for your due date, sign up for our free pregnancy newsletter.
At your mid-pregnancy ultrasound (typically in the next four weeks), you may be able to find out your baby's sex.
See what your baby looks like in your womb at 16 weeks.
If you haven't already felt your baby kick, you probably will in the next four weeks.
See what your baby looks like in your womb at 18 weeks.
Your baby should be able to hear your voice now, so don't hesitate to talk, sing, or read aloud.

See what your baby looks like in your womb at 27 weeks.
They're awfully tiny, but your baby has bona fide fingernails and toenails by now.
See what your baby looks like in your womb at 32 weeks.
Your baby is ready for life outside the womb but will probably stay in there for a bit longer, gaining weight.
See what your baby looks like in your womb at 37 weeks.

The Healing Power of Herbal Tea
I love to drink tea but not good for pregnant lady lah...the following are some useful information about it...
By Dr. Maoshing Ni - Posted on Fri, Feb 05, 2010, 1:19 am PST
Tea goes back to China almost 5,000 years ago. Herbal teas were specially blended from plants that exhibited medicinal properties to maintain health and prevent illness. Find out what makes tea so beneficial and how you can craft your own custom blend to stay healthy!
What is tea?
Technically speaking, tea is the dried and processed leaves of Camellia sinensis, and includes four main varieties: black, oolong, green, and white tea.
Black tea, produced when tea leaves undergo an oxidizing process that turns the leaves black, has the strongest flavor and the highest content of caffeine—about one third the caffeine you would get from the same cup of coffee. Oolong tea is slightly less oxidized and has less caffeine. Green tea is steamed, rolled and dried immediately after harvest, which halts the oxidation process, allowing the leaves to retain their green color. White tea undergoes the least processing—the young tea buds are picked and then air-dried. All of these varieties have different health benefits, with green tea and white tea leading the pack.
What about herbal tea?
Well, herbal tea is not really tea at all, but actually an infusion or tisane made from various leaves, flowers, fruit, or herbs. Herbal tea is sometimes enjoyed for its delicious taste and many times enjoyed for its medicinal properties.
The list of tea recipes that follow are just a few combinations to help you heal.
1. Warming tea for cold hands and feet
For a warming tea from head to toe, make cinnamon and clove tea by putting 2 cinnamon sticks and 1 teaspoon of cloves in 3 cups of water and boil for 15 minutes. Strain and drink 3 cups each day. Drink one cup in the evenings to warm your insides, which encourages a good night's sleep.
Specially blended Winter Tea makes use of herbs that expel cold while warming and tonifying your kidneys.
2. Pore-opening tea for combating a cold
This is a traditional Chinese remedy for a "wind cold", which usually occurs during seasonal changes and is often a result of exposure to drafts. At this early stage, Chinese medicine suggests that perspiration is helpful in removing the pathogens from the skin.
Boil one chopped garlic clove, three slices of ginger, one chopped scallion, some basil, and a pinch of cinnamon in 24 ounces of water for five minutes. Drink the tea hot and go to bed. Cover up and prepare to sweat. Sweating opens the pores, releasing trapped pathogens from the skin. Drink at least 3 cups of tea daily until symptoms subside.
For "wind heat" type of cold, which is characterized by high fever, sweating, sore throat, cough, headaches, and a yellow nasal discharge, you would see a Chinese medical practitioner for an herbal blend that is individualized for your needs.
3. Alertness-Enhancing Tea
The next time you need to spice up your concentration, instead of reaching for harsh stimulants like coffee, try the potent yet gentle energizers in your spice rack. Studies have found that compounds in everyday herbs and spices can increase mental function and physical vitality. All these herbs and spices contain volatile oils that stimulate your senses and increase alertness: dill, oregano, cilantro, rosemary, sage, bay, peppermint, ginger, garlic, parsley, cinnamon, onion, chives, garlic and leek. Make a tea from any combination and drink whenever you need a pick-me-up.
4. Herbal Hearing Aid Tea
The traditional Chinese remedy for diminished hearing is to make a tea from herbs that gently restore the ear. Make a hearing aid tea by boiling together for 15 minutes: 4 cups of water, 1 heaping tablespoon each of oregano, cilantro, rosemary, and sage, combined with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 3 slices of fresh ginger. Drink three cups a day for three weeks and hear the difference.
5. Stomach-Settling Tea
Ginger has been shown to soothe the digestive lining and balance gastric juices. Make ginger tea by slicing fresh ginger root into 2 inch long slices and boiling in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes. Strain out the ginger and sip the tea slowly. Drink ginger tea as often as you need to settle your stomach and keep nausea away.
Or steep 1 teaspoon each of mint, rosemary, oregano, cilantro, sage, and basil in a cup of hot water. Drink after each meal to soothe and prevent bloating.
Among my patients, a very popular herbal tea is Internal Cleanse Tea, which is specially combined to detoxify, calm nerves, clear the mind, balance emotions, and ease digestion.
Try the whole Tao Tea collection, specially blended to bring you balance in mind, body, and spirit.

Green tea from Camellia sinensis
Experts believe that flavonoids are the key health-promoting ingredient in tea. These polyphenol antioxidants are present in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been found to help prevent cell damage. Recent research suggests that tea may protect against heart disease and many types of cancer.What about herbal tea?
Well, herbal tea is not really tea at all, but actually an infusion or tisane made from various leaves, flowers, fruit, or herbs. Herbal tea is sometimes enjoyed for its delicious taste and many times enjoyed for its medicinal properties.
Lemon Verbena herbal tea
While real "tea" boasts many healthy benefits, a major pro to herbal tea is that it is caffeine-free. Also, you can tailor your tea to your needs by selecting herbs and plants that address the health issue you want to target.

Brewing Tips
Follow these tips for best benefits:
- Tap water affects the taste of tea. It is best to use fresh filtered water. To learn about a high-performance filtration system that I recommend, click here.
- To extract the most beneficial compounds from the tea leaves or bags, let them steep for three to five minutes.
- It is best to drink tea unsweetened and without milk, which can minimize some of the health benefits. Forgo the sugar and try instead honey, stevia products, or a stick of cinnamon.
- For maximum health benefits, I suggest you work with a licensed acupuncturist or traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to find an herbal blend tailored specifically to your needs.
May you stay healthy, live long, and live happy!
