Week 15c - Getting to know hubby
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!One interesting advantage that came out of our almost 24 hrs together now (going to work, dinner, nights, weekends and public holidays) is that I get to know Hubby a bit better now.

Week 15b - Hunt for the Confinement Lady
Since Belinda and I have been in constant touch ever since she found out about the pregnancy, she did mention that I should start my search for the CL soon.

Week 15 - 50 reasons to be glad you’re pregnant
A few chat sessions with some friends the other day (who were pregnant or had recently delivered) did wonders to rejuvenate my flagging spirits and we also discovered that someone else was also pregnant…and going through pretty similar symptoms I had a couple of months ago.

Week 14 - The grumpy, grouchy post…

Our hearts immediately went out to the commuters as the bombings took place during the rush hour. We were saddened by this [...]
Week 10 - Bumpy road ahead
Now that we know we are pregnant, we brace ourselves for our new routine in the 7 months ahead. Here’s our “exciting” routine on normal working days:
5.00 am Wake up
- a healthy breakfast of half-boiled eggs or oatmeal with fruit and a hot drink
- steam rice, stir fry a vegetable (spinach, brocolli, lettuce or mixed) [...]
Week 8 - Bunny Baby
Well, we had scheduled an ob-gyn’s appointment last weekend and was just biding our time while we waited for confirmation from the good old doctor. Unfortunately, ignorance is not bliss and we found that out the hard way.
A day before the doc’s appointment, I discovered some spotting and immediately panicked as I’d read that [...]
