Eid 2008; Love and Drama

Happy Eidul Fitri everyone.

Raya this year is wonderful. Never short of Love and Drama. First as a wife and an expectant mother. The Raya morning was a slight damper to the excitement in a way because I couldn't get out of bed. Queasy. Nauseous. Light-headed. Cramps. All in waves flooded over. Got ready slightly later than usual. Raya with Husband's family later than scheduled. Got to Kg. Pandan later than expected. But all were awesome.

The next day was overshadowed by some unwanted events. It is never fair when you and/or the one you love, become the outlet, the target of someone's anger and unhappiness, which is clearly meant for someone else. However, we refuse to fuel any flames with unnecessary catty retorts. It is enough that we know, more importantly, Allah s.w.t. knows, what were or weren't our intentions.

The unfortunate event was a constant gray cloud over Eid, but nothing could make us any less happy. We had a great time with family. Mommy, Daddy, Brother, Sister in-law, Niece, Husband; it's always a crazy fun time when we're all in one place. Great food. The trip back to Kuantan was wonderful. And the whole pregnancy-related nine yards.

Patiently waiting for day 120 of pregnancy, when the ruh is bestowed by Allah s.w.t upon this lump of congealed blood in my belly.
