Darling's birthday celebration

I celebrated hubby's birthday on 10th June at home with a cake from Swiss Bake.


FIL went for an op on 9-June hence we didn't have the mood and mind to actually plan his bday celebrationz.


We were grateful that FIL had a very successful operation and he is recovering well. :) After visiting him on 10-June, we went to pray and by the time we got home, our lil boy is into his dreamland.



So, it's left with me to light the candles and sing a Birthday Song for him. Thou he doesn't really like me buying a cake for him. But Still, I feel I need to do something!


The hazelnut cake...


The Birthday Man..








Here's hubby cutting the cake.

Our Birthday Celebrationz!

Modesto made us celebrated my birthday 1 month in advance and that is Today!


Being their member, they had kindly sent me a complimentary meal on 22 or 23-July. But I definitely will still be in confinement during that period hence called them to ask if can bring forward the date. And it was really sweet that we could celebrate it earlier. And there we went as today is hubby's off day. :) We had a very very full lunch. see the pics!


Their Anti-Pasta appetiser


Our fav Cotto pizza


Grilled King Prawns

The Terrible Twos Phase

As Allan and I await for Celest's arrival, we are facing JJ's daily Terrible 2 antics daily.

As J asserts his independence at wanting to do things himself such as:
>> wearing his own pants
>> riding his bicycle home by himself & crossing the road
>> taking chocolate from the freezer (by bringing his stool and climbing onto it)
>> climbing stairs

He will push you fiercely away if you attempt to help him or stop him.

"No", "Go away"," Don't disturb JJ" are parts of his common terms.

And he even throw tantrums in the wee hours of the night. Like last night when Allan made milk for him, he got so mad. That even when I made it for him, he refused to drink and kept whining. I waited till he cooled off a bit and told him to drink milk, tomorow we go playground and take lift which worked! He calmed down and finished his milk and went to bed.

He gets really mad at slightest thing and it puts a strain onto us. We have to understand his behavior and how to let him grow into being an independant boy without keep saying "No" to him.

Below is the link to an article which I find good and for our reference. Or urs when ur turn comes. :P

Parenthood really is a journey of discovery and exploration. While he is really sweet at times, it can drive one crazy at times. Sometimes I even wished there is an instant cane whenever I need it to discipline him.

The next one year will be an exciting one. Seeing J growing up to be able to share, empanthize and lil Celest achieving the many milestones that a baby will accomplish before turning the Big One. Mommy and Daddy are gonna be busy!

Let's get ready to embrace them with tons of our love and affections!

Love u daddy! Pls don't get mad at lil J. He doesn't mean it. He does that to anyone including me when he feels that I am interfering his decision, etc.

38th week.....

Visited Dr Tseng yesterday for our 38th week check-up. Baby is still breech and Dr Tseng tried to turn baby around by ECG (manual coaxing). It wasn't too painful but unsuccessful. Cos bb's legs were stretched out straight. It would have a higher chance of success if bb's legs were flexed. Hence, Dr Tseng told us if we wanted to do csect, we can do it on Week 39. Else, we can still try to go for natural delivery. Only complication will be if baby's head does not come out fast enough, there will be lack of oxgyen to her head and it is dangerous.

Allan and I decided to play it safe and go for csect. We will go to a master tomorrow to select a few dates and see which Dr Tseng is available. :) Mommy and Daddy are looking forward to seeing ya baby.

All these made me super kan chiong. I quickly ordered the nursing bras that I needed. Old ones went missing. keke... It will be delivered to me latest by 10pm later.

With that, we are more or less ready for our little princess.

Love hubby and my JJ.

Last Day of Work tomorrow!

Tomorrow is my last day of work before I start resting to recharge in preparation to welcome our 2nd bundle of joy into this wonderful world. Yippee! I'm glad that I chose to start my leave on 21-June. I am starting to feel very tired these days. And I had on and off contractions today. Baby seemed to descend lower into my pelvic bone. I felt great pressure on the edge near the thighs. Yeah yeah, counting down. and I almost thought I am going into labour today. :P

Baby, let mommy catch some rest before you pop okie? Though mommy can't wait to see you and kiss u too!

Going to catch the Voyage de La Vie tomorrow after work. Perks of working at Resorts World! Free tix! though 1 per employee.

These days, had lots of treats from my colleagues. I'm quite lucky that the folks that I work with are a great bunch of people. We can click and give each other support in times of need. The baby dust has spread to 3 of my colleagues and they are going to due around the same time! gosh, i'm gonna miss them when they are not around. Happy for them and wish them smooth pregnancies!

Time flies.... I still remembered few months back, I was very worried how to cope to look after Jayden with a big tummy. It's tiring but we've made it! I try to catch some forty winks whenever Jayden naps during the weekend. And hubby helps around whenever he can. Though this boy sometimes insists Mommy make milk and gets real mad if daddy attempts to make for him.

Life is going to be busier than ever when our darling gal arrives. I can't imagine how. but will take things as it comes.

We have thought of the name Celest. It means heavenly. :)

Okay, good night for now. Sweet dreams....

At 37 weeks....

Went for our 37th week checkup yesterday, baby is still breech. Dr Tseng's advice is he will do an ECG next week (manually coaxing baby to turn). Else, we will just monitor and see what the position of the baby is in when we are really going into labour.

Things to consider: Shall we fix a date to bring the baby into this world via Csect? If yes, when? I definitely do not want to risk trying normal delivery then later on go for emergency csect. double cost and double pain.

I have informed my boss Rodney that I will be working till 18th June. Yeahie! 5 more days to go!

And Tuesday is my lil boy's birthday! going have a simple celebration with balloons and cake at home after work.
