Week 1: Highlights
She Has Arrived! <3
And finally, she is born. 40 weeks and 3 days — just before the doc was about to induce me! 2 days prior to labour, contractions started and I’ve had sleepless nights since then. I thought I was breathing the pain away really well and felt that it might just be possible that I could have a […]
Week 40: Full Term & No Baby!
After prepping for hypno-birthing and natural delivery, we found out from our doctor that we were zero centimetre dilated last Saturday, despite all the Braxton-Hicks or false contractions I’ve been feeling. And then our doctor is suggesting unnatural induction to force her out, when she is perfectly healthy. He mentioned that we can only wait […]
Her Little Library of Books
I cannot help but emphasize how important reading is and I have bought quite a number of books to kick start her little library. We will put aside 15 minutes every night to read to her. This will be our little family tradition that will last throughout her toddler years. <3 The World of Peter […]
Partners in Crime
An update on the kitties. They are inseparable and they learn all the bad qualities off each other. Up to no good 90% of the time, with the remaining 10% being so cute that you forget about it. Cats. Pfft.
Final Days of Pregnancy
How am I feeling? Big. And nervous. The uncertainty of what to expect intrigues me. At least, that’s what I’m trying to tell myself. I have done quite a bit of research on birthing and there are a few things I wish I had done earlier. Sign up for the hypno-birthing class with Four Trimesters […]
Project ♥ #4: Infant Learning Cards
Never knew the worries of a parent until I’m about to become one. After researching into the benefits of early learning, we strongly feel that it is beneficial to our little moon to help her in developing her foundation. It will also help her in her social and intellectual skills and hopefully for her to find joy […]
Project ♥ #3: Crochet Baby Blankie
Finally, after much procrastination, the crochet baby blankie is complete! But I realised that this is actually quite dangerous to infants as there are far too many holes. 🙁 Probably just gonna use it as decoration in her room. It was very enjoyable nonetheless!
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
I can’t draw to save a life. What better time to finally go for an intensive 5-day drawing course that helps me see things differently other than now? I’m so glad that Juvie finally let me attend this expensive course! Will definitely help with my work. Of course, he would rather my company pay for it. […]
Doona Has Arrived!
After waiting for almost 2 months, our car seat stroller has finally arrived! Just in time as I’m about to pop! Here’s a shot of the stroller in full. It’s so cute! <3
Project ♥ #2: Baby Reversible Ring Sling
Daddy Choo refused to let me buy a baby ring sling, so I decided to make one. The ironic thing is that the total cost of the fabric and rings cost $115 already. LOL! He’s regretting not letting me buy. But then again, this is a product of love and it’s reversible, so I get […]
Love from Gramps
My mom spent a month’s time to travel to many goldsmith shops, just to finally decide on this humble piece. She even hand delivered it to us today, with a big pot of gingko nuts with bean curd skin, so our little one will have fair and smooth skin. The thought behind this gift is […]
Finally Sinking In
Daddy Choo buys his first set of clothes for his baby girl. I guess it’s finally sinking in for him.
Prepping for Labour
Oh, how the pelvis is hurting once more! Doctor said that it’s only gonna get worse and that I stay home, so I am officially on hospitalization leave! Got a cheap exercise ball from Qoo10 at $10, only to let joker Daddy Choo place Super Scared Ziggy on it and he punctured a hole in […]
Week 35: The Obedient Girl Turned!
After two weeks of attempting to spin the baby as well as constantly talking to our little moon to ask her to move head down, she finally did!! Initially, our doctor was feeling my tummy and said he felt her head, just like us but realised it was her butt during the scan. That’s our […]
Week 34: Nesting, Baby Names & My First Contraction!
Last weekend, I had the strongest nesting instinct ever. I started to pack the baby room, hospital bag, washed and sterilized the bottles and pump parts. And then I listed the stuff I didn’t want in the house on social groups to give away. I even reformatted my old iMac to stream baby channels and music […]
Week 33: She’s Breeched! :(
We were quite pumped for today’s gynae visit but was unable to see her face as she was faced inwards. And we found out that she’s breeched, meaning sitting upright! :((( If she doesn’t turn downwards by week 35, I will need a c-section. Please turn, my little one. Don’t let mummy go through long-ass […]
Baby Loot!
Being a first-time mommy, naturally I’d want to buy the world for my precious first born. I mean who doesn’t, right? I just need to be given a chance to be excited, buy shit I don’t need and not be judged for it. But I consider myself quite a logical shopper who does a substantial […]
