REVIEW: The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards

I was quite hesitant to read this book when I was pregnant because it’s about a child who has Down Syndrome.
The Chinese are highly superstitious about stuff like this i.e. if you look or think about anything ugly, abnormal etc when you’re pregnant, you may likely get a child like that.
Then, I remembered a cartoon [...]

Week 32 – Choosing children’s beds

We had a lot of fun hunting for a children’s bed. Since we live in a TINY apartment, we had to look for a child’s bed that would:
a) fit right next to our double bed in the master bedroom;
b) grow with our nearly 4 year old toddler who is shooting up like a weed and
c) [...]

Week 27 – Bleeding after peeing

I woke up to pee early in the morning at 6.00 am and was shocked to see some blood (which looks like menstrual blood) in the toilet and also on the tissue. As the bleeding stopped, I went back to bed.
This morning, I told my Mum about it and she said it could be:
a) our [...]

REVIEW: Bravado Essential Maternity Nursing Tank Top

As an XL-sized breastfeeding Mum, I always have trouble finding suitably sized nursing bras. Thus, I got interested in the Bravado Essential Maternity/Nursing Tank Top (sold by Mom4Life).
I like the way the tank top’s (in Chocolate) mix of 100% cotton and stretchy Spandex feels so cool and comfortable.
Not easy finding clothes with such nice material [...]

Week 20 – How to entertain a toddler at home

When his kindergarten went on summer break, I had to face the ‘challenge’ spending more than 2 weeks HOME ALONE with the tot since we decided to fly home later.
Since I had the luxury of having her toddler spend a full day at the kindy, I was quite nervous about being a stay-at-home Mother again [...]

Week 19 – A boy? A girl? It doesn’t matter

I was all psyched up for my doctor’s appointment this week because I’m hoping to find out if it’s a boy or a girl…
With passport in hand and a note that I’ll need the letter for flying soon, we went back to the VIP Maternity Hospital.
They couldn’t find my personal folder (containing my medical [...]

Week 16 – Pimples, pain and predictions…

Hubby and I had a quiet Father’s Day weekend at home, no special lunch or dinner due to a thunderstorm…at home and outside
When we talked about the second baby, I couldn’t help but compare the differences between the first pregnancy and this second one:
At 16 weeks this time around:
- I only feel slight [...]

Having a baby: Is it the gynae or the hospital?

Now that we’ve decided to go home for the delivery and confinement, I’m back to my original problem of: choosing a gynae. As I gripe about this, I must remember that Albert Einstein said, “The only constant is change”
Well, it will be 4 years since I had my first child, I can’t very well [...]

13 weeks – Girl or boy?

Dear baby,
I am sorry if I have not been talking to you much these past weeks – a nasty phlegm which has me choking keeps me really quiet. The nausea doesn’t help either but I promise you I’ll talk to you more once all this is over!
First, you’re one tough baby to feed: when I [...]

10 weeks – Hello baby!

Last Friday, I asked the boy out of the blue:
Me: When the baby comes out, you share your toys with the baby, ok?
Boy: OK (nods three times. Really cute coz his nods are rather mechanical)
Me: Wah, really? You’ll share your toys?
Boy: Yesss
Me: Books leh…share your books with the baby also ok?
Boy: OK (nods three times.)
Me: [...]

The Ultrasound Scan

I was depressed after the horrendous visit to the Chinese obstetrician and did not look forward to the next visit. Since Hubby was too busy to take off from work, I went alone. It was OK since I could take a taxi there.
China follows the US system of specialization i.e. the ultrasound scan is [...]

Visiting the obstetrician

We just got back from the private Taiwanese-owned hospital and got our first impression of maternity services in China. As this is one of the better hospitals so I can only leave the rest to imagination.
With my friend’s help, I called up the English-speaking nurses (hu xi) and made my appointment. Hubby and I took [...]
