DD: Scan Days are Happy Days!They most certainly are! We were both quite buzzing with excitement just before the appointment today. One of the things I do appreciate here in Singgers (and I suppose in private clinics) is the regular ultrasound scans we get during which we can take a peek at the little guy to see how he's doing. It's fun looking beyond my distended belly to see what's going on beneath causing me all the bumps and weird distortions. Plus it's reassuring to know that baby is ... read more
The Not-Quite-Essentials
I started with the best intentions. When Daph buzzed me to give me the heads-up on the Tangs 12% sale on the 2-3 Jul, I thought it would be the ideal time to get a start on working through the list of essential items that different friends had provided to me. You know, stuff like the stroller! crib! car seat! pumps! awholebunchofothernecessarybabyaccessories!Instead I walked away with: 1 pacifier with a terribly cute turtle in the centre and 1 "I love Daddy and Mummy" milk bottle. This despite ... read more
Bedtime Stories
It's been a very LONG couple of weeks. Work has kept me in the office till late on most nights and trooping into the office on weekends. As you can imagine, I was not a happy camper. But at least, on this long stretch unlike on previous long stretches, I had Little Being for company. And while there were uncomfortable moments, like when he would randomly decide to kick me - HARD - in the bladder or squish himself high up somewhere under my bosom while I was sitting through a long meeting (and ... read more
Encore Performance
UNBELIEVABLE.You would have thought that after my last mix-up with the movie tickets, I won't go right out and DO THE SAME THING AGAIN. Last Friday, I'd planned to catch SATC with Daph but since my crummy schedule over the week left me unable to confirm our appointment till Friday afternoon, all the tickets for the show at around 9+ were either sold out or we were left with front row seating which was not ideal. Searches for alternatives came up futile since neither of us were quite in the mood ... read more
Brain Drain
Maybe it was pregnant brain syndrome.My company has a welfare club (of sorts) that organises a movie night once a month where tickets are sold at a discounted rate of $4.50. This month's offering was Prince Caspian, so I thought it was an ideal opportunity for me to catch a movie with my bro, something I like to do when the opportunity arises. So I got my allotted 2 tickets and called him to inform him of our date. "12 June, 6.40pm", I told him. "Don't forget."Unfortunately this week has been a ... read more
Happy Flats
Having to work in the weekend is no fun at all. But at least I have happy new shoes to keep me company! Shoes from FabricInksFor a perpetual heel wearer, having to convert to wearing flats is not as bad as I'd originally feared... ... read more
Here’s Looking At You Kid
These days, I look forward to the start of every month cos it means that we'll be seeing Little Being again.We love taking a peek at him cos each time he's always up to something. At 12 weeks, he was making little sudden bounces on screen. Our little mexican jumping bean, we called him. At 16 weeks, he was playing with his hands, opening and closing them while turning around. And at 18 weeks when we interrupted him with an unexpected scan at lunch, we found him sleeping with his arms held ... read more
Round is a Shape
This shirt that dear Fans got for me (and which I'm now wearing) is really appropriate these days. Little Being is making its presence known these days. Not huge but definitely showing at 22 weeks!Btw, I'm terribly pleased that I can still fit into some of my work pants like the pair I am wearing, thanks to the BellaBand. I would never be able to zip nor button any of my pre-pregnancy clothes but the band holds them up (while keeping my decent). It's been quite the life saver! ... read more
Surprisingly surprising
Since my birthday this year was celebrated in the US, the hubs didn't have the chance to organise my annual "usual surprise birthday party". That didn't stop my wonderful husband from trying to plan some kind surprise nonetheless after we arrived back in S'pore.Unfortunately, the thing about surprises is that sometimes, the surprise-ee makes other plans which spoils the surprise-or's plans. In this case, because DD had told me that he would be busy on Friday, I, thinking that I should prob ... read more
The Name Game
A sign that I've turned 30: on clearing out our mailbox, I discovered the notice from the ICA asking me to change my NRIC to update my (alas!) rather outdated photograph on my ID.One good thing about this is the opportunity to include my married name in my ID so that I can finally use my married name officially when I want to - like when I'm making reservations for restaurants/hotels - and spare my poor husband the awkwardness of being called "Mr Poh" by the staff! The poor dude was rather ... read more
