Farewell 20s, Hello 30s

As I turn 30 today, I reflected that I have had a blessed life so far. I have a loving hubby, a good network of friends and am in a job that I like. I feel that I have lived my life so far with few regrets and am now looking forward to motherhood. This should be an exciting next phase of my life and I hope to enjoy a new life with my little one (and G), whenever he choose to arrive...

When the belly button pops...

the baby is done! This is a 3D preview of how our baby looks like:

Dear baby,

I am going to miss your kicking/punching/hiccups as you may be induced next week if the amniotic fluid remains low...

Mummy is not too worried now that you have reached full term. But, it is going to be a different challenge to take care of you once you are delivered ;P We will try our best so please be more patient if we cannot figure out your needs!

Lots of love,

Mummy

Getting ready...

Dear baby,

Time really flies... you are 35 turning 36 weeks! Mummy is hoping for you to be patient and not rush into this world before you are full term at 37 weeks.

Meanwhile, we have been preparing for your arrival... your nursery is being sorted and mummy's hospital bag is finally packed!

We are very excited to meet you in a couple of weeks time!

Love,

mummy

World Cup thrashing!!

What a disappointing match for North Korea! and me... cos I was betting on them to draw with Portugal...

Ribbon bulletin board

Was browsing through Martha Stewart's craft site and was inspired to create the ribbon bulletin board. It was simple but I had fun shopping for ribbons at spotlight, diaso, kino and paper market =)

31 weeks and counting...

The baby has engaged already and he seems to be growing well at yesterday's scan. He weighed in at 2 kg! and is the size of a 33 week old...

Dear baby,



We have been busy getting ready for your arrival. Besides getting a cot, car seat, diapers etc, we have also decided to bank your cord blood in the hope that you will not need to use it in future. From the ante-natal class, we have learnt about different positions to carry you, how to breastfeed and bathe you. Hopefully, these will come in useful when we finally welcome you into this world.


Do you know that you have been kicking very frequently and forcefully these days? Mummy has developed the habit of patting you on my tummy from time to time and you tend to respond by kicking the spot. I don't know if you meant to communicate with me but it gives me a kick! haha! Daddy tries to feel you kick but you don't respond as much to him... we read that babies tend to prefer mother's touch but always remember that we both love you very much.



Always,
mummy
