Cramps 'N' More Cramps 'N' More Activities

I have been experiencing severe cramps lately but not too worry, it's not that kind of cramp or pain whereby you know that you are going to give birth...I don't think it's that soon although my gynae did mention that it might be a pre-term baby. However, I am praying hard that my beloved baby will wait for the actual time to burst out of my tummy. Hahaahaha....

Now, talking about that, let me share my experience with you guys. Unlike the time period when I was carrying Hana, this time around, I am having problems sleeping at night as the cramps usually attack in the middle of the night between 2 and 5am. So..can you imagine me, sitting up in bed, unable to sleep, getting frustrated seeing Hubby sleep like a log? Eventually, got to disturb Hubby and wake him up from his sleep just to make sure that he himself doesn't sleep since I can't sleep! Selfish huh? What to do...

For the time being, just resting at home, having Hana with me, getting her to do her weekly homework and trying to teach her the letters of the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colours and some Arabic languages that she is learning in school. All these are being done on a daily basis. Of course when it comes to doing just a page of homework, Hana will always have excuses not to complete her assignment. I have to do lots of coaxing and pleading just to get her to complete her task. Same goes with learning the letters of the alphabet, numbers, colours and shapes...there is no way that she can sit still and learn...hence, I have to play pretend with her and carry out many other activities just to teach a certain concept. The terrible part is when she refuses to learn anything and to me, it's like she is not learning anything that has been taught...and....suddenly, out of the blue, while she's doing something else somewhere, she will just blurt out whatever that she had learnt. Just like what happened last weekend. Last week, I introduced the 3 basic shapes; square, circle and triangle. As we were in her uncle's vehicle (her uncle sent us back home), she saw a triangular-shaped object and she just blurted out the word "triangle". Thus, in conclusion, I have learnt not to put too much pressure on my girl, let her learn at her own pace and enjoy every moment with her.

The end...

P/s: Hana is also learning to use the computer. Right now, she is able to play simple educational games on the computer on her own....I guess once she is able to read, she will end up surfing the internet!
