Chasing Intan

Akhirnya... Tibalah hari yang ditunggu-tunggu. Our babymoon trip!  Day 1  Singapore - Osaka  Berangkat dari rumah jam 6 pagi menuju bandara Soekarno-Hatta, kami udah siap dengan 1 koper besar (yang di dalemnya ada koper ukuran medium) dan 1 backpack punya Mr.D. Japan, we're coming! Err tapi sebelumnya harus lewatin dulu kemacetan Jakarta, kekacauan bandara Soetta, dan Singapore.  #Japan101 Jadi gini lho, biar ga pusing, gue ngebagi kertas-kertas keramat (tiket, dsb dsb) di dalam amplop yang berbeda. Satu amplop dikasih nama plane;  isinya tiket pesawat, surat-surat pendukung (macam surat keterangan hamil), dan  Japan Rail Pass . Satu amplop dikasih nama hotel , isinya confirmation letters  bahwa kami telah book  hotel. Kebetulan memang kami nginep di beberapa hotel, book melalui Agoda dan Japanican . Satu amplop dikasih nama itinerary ... yang proses pengerjaannya bikin pusing kepala. Bayangin aja, gue harus bikin train timet...

So excited about my upcoming trip with, who else?! My one and only hubby.. After long discussion and careful consideration, we finally choose Japan as our destination. I previously wanted to go to European country so-damn- much. Especially UK. But I'm pregnant now and we can't afford more than a coach class, we thought it'd be too risky. Just like that, we deleted the idea of going to UK and Isle of Man. And then came Australia. But after browsing here and there, asked questions about cities we'd like to visit (Melbourne & Sydney), we finally terminated that idea too. The only interesting thing about Aussie according to my dear hubby is Philip Island... Which we didn't know what to do when there's no race to watch. Well, we then thought about Japan.. It always intrigues and amazes us. Especially how they cope with modern yet ancient living at the same time. Its culture, beautiful scenery, and modernity... There are too many reasons to visit Japan. So ...

Quick update!  SO yesterday was my doctor visit.. I was 24th week pregnant and he decided to do an ultra sound. It seems he has this cool machine that can easily switch between 2D and 4D. Of course, I am more interested in 4D cos it's more real.  This time, mr D recorded our entire checking with his iPhone so I can watch it later at home. :D  First thing first, the doctor checked my baby's heartbeat.. OK. And the he measured the rest. Everything is normal. My baby weigh about 605 grams. BUT the doctor suddenly doubted about its gender. He convinced me last month that our baby is 200% boy. And after he did the ultra sound, he said, "congrats Ma'am you have a beautiful baby." I was like, Whaaa?! Mr.D and I been calling our baby with boy's nickname throughout this time. Whoa. And then we redo the test, and guess what he said? Just come back in one month and we'll reveal its truest gender, but he said it might be a boy. Geez.  I'd feel s...

I always struggle to find what outfit to wear each day.. It's primarily because, my bump hasn't visible yet but my butt, thigh, etc are already getting bigger. I couldn't find a proper pants. My old jeans? Oh please I left them hanging on the closet since months ago. My new maternity pants? It look ridiculous on me, cos it has this kangaroo pouch. And I don't have any real bump yet . Go imagine.  To save me from wardrobe malfunction, I dragged myself to retail store nearby to find pants. I bought a few, especially ones that I can wear daily and for our upcoming babymoon ! I need something comfortable yet look good on me... Among the quest, I passed by some beautiful dresses that I could've buy in a heartbeat... if only I'm not pregnant. Dresses that undoubted will look good on me even without a trip to the changing room.  The words if only I'm not pregnant often came along in my thoughts. Not only when I walked hopelessly in my favorite store, but whe...
