Baby and Money. Anytime Now!!!

Soon, my baby will 'pop out'. Bila? Bila-bila masa saja :) [When? Anytime.]

I'm so excited. Now I'm getting nervous too, but that's normal. Braxton Hicks is becoming more often. But every night I check the engagement, it's still not engaged yet :( 3 finger breadth. Hmm, bila la baby ni nak betul betul turun yek?

I'm staying in Kajang now, with my mum. I'm closer to Serdang Hospital, my workplace. But hubby has to travel extra. If he's lucky, he works in Putrajaya. He sends and picks me up from work daily now. Kesian dia. I know he doesn't like to drive, and traffic jam makes him go crazy and balistic sometimes. I do let him know how much it means to me. He never complains...all for our baby!

Anyway, I'm reading a lot of non-medical related materials nowadays. I still haven't finish reading about arrhythmias...erk! I'm not keeping up with my deadlines. But I'm too excited about something else right now...future goals.

Hubby is still thinking about our baby's name last week. Now he calls her Arishah sometimes. Maybe we'll stick to that. Melekat jugak nama yang Mama pilih. She always said ada huruf 'Ain from `Ismat and Rush from Rusydan. Hubby also calls himself a Baba now. Baba and Mama...hehehe. I think my nephews and nieces might even start calling him BabaDan rather than UncleDan. We always laugh at it because anything that starts with Baba sounds so FAT. Cute!

About the books and articles I'm reading, it's more about financial matters. I'm so glad hubby has taken great interest in it too. Previously, I felt quite alone thinking about family finance and reading books about it. I want a financially sufficient family, especially for my kids. Since the last 2 months, he shared his idea about a business, for a variety of reasons.


I've introduced to him 2 weeks ago regarding Azizi Ali's book on Retire Rich. We read it together. At first, he starts questioning after every chapter he reads in the book. I keep encouraging him to finish it first. After all, a book is someone's idea. We may or may not implement it if it doesn't suits us. But opinion have to be heard through and through right? Only then we make the decision.

Now, he's reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kyosaki, also reading it together. We discuss before we go to sleep at night, we throw in our ideas, and we evaluate our values. I showed him the excel worksheets I've downloaded for loans, investment, budget, and retirement plan.


Now, reaching that goal feels so much lighter, because my partner is really working hard for it and share the same vision. Thank you God for opening up this opportunity :) I guess with all the things that's happening (even not getting paid for the past 2 months because some technical problems changing workplace), this baby memang bawak tuah, i.e rezeki is pouring. The knowledge and our love is growing.
