Cherishing the now moments

Week 35 and 5 days.

As the date is drawing near, I felt more and more excited and impatient. I want to meet Riordan really soon. My stomach is huge now, no one say its small like they used to anymore. 

But at the same time I am scared. Afraid of the challenges placed ahead of me. Afraid of not knowing what are the things to do or not do to my baby or to myself. What if I had to wake up each hour every night just to make sure baby is well fed, is changed, safe and all that. I can't do without my sleep u know! 

I should really enjoy this moment where I have the time all by myself. The silence in the night. The tidiness of the house. Just me, Silvia n my thoughts :)

If there's anything I have learnt about life so far, it's to enjoy the now moment. 做人要活在当下. There are a lot of memories that I cherish a lot in the past but complain about too at the same time. But whenever I look back, I always felt it was the most blissful n happy moments. 

So I decided to be patient with my pregnancy. I shall not rush for baby to come out but instead cherish the time while I still have. Being carefree. Eat like glutton without feeling guilty. Having my me time at night. 

Oh how I love my life right now and I'm serious :) 

Random at week 34 + 5 days

Hello there! I'm nearing to my EDD. I always felt that Riordan will be out before the due date, since that's that case for most people. But recently I've been hearing some who past their due date and had to be induced and all that. And then many refer EDD as only a very vague guideline. 

I really hope it won't pass the due date because I really don't wanna hold R inside me for too long, afraid that my stomach will be bigger and bigger. And stretch marks surface. And I also wish to stop working soon! 

Movements. Baby's movements are huge! Sometimes he will roll from left to right. So my stomach wil protrude on the left then suddenly on my right. It's funny to see how he moves and it's so cute!!! 

Breathless. Last night. Don't knew what isit due to. Nauseous. A little, but not as bad of course. Just a slight urge of puking at times. Breast. Huge. Going to tear this dress of mine at the chest area. Seriously. 

I am so blessed

Met niang and twinnie today for lunch at imperial treasure. Felt so loved by them. Niang treated us for lunch, that's like a whole lot of yummy dimsum and roasted delight. Too yummyfied!

Then niang took me for shopping at taka baby fair. Bought a few little things for Riordan. Niang helped to carry the things and even paid for all the cotton balls! :( I am paiseh but I really so not how to reject her good intention. 

Then after that D-ye came and pick us up to dinner place at Clark quay. It's under fraser hotel affiliated to where twinnie was working. So we got to enjoy 50 percent off. And twinnie treated us! Omg. Then when going back, I really was just hoping that diye drop me off at mrt station yet he drove all the way to flora road for my sake... I hope they know how much I appreciate all these :( really paiseh know ....

But also happy and blessed to have these good people around me. So happy to feel loved and pampered.. Not to mention how my darling hubby fetched me from places to places. :) happy bird. 

Love

Last night before turning in.

Sunday noon

Lazing around at my cosy crib on a Sunday. Never thought i could b so homely. Spent the morning making breakfast, ironing clothes n do a quick cleaning up. Expecting guests to arrive at 5pm. 

Anyway, I think I need a change in life. I need to b more outspoken and be willing to talk to anyone anywhere. About anything. I realise whenever I interact with hubby's friends I always appear really quiet especially when they are talking serious! I can totally shut off and be in my own world. Cannot cannot. Must tune myself up abit more and grow up. Stop living under people's care :)

Need to improve in chicken. Quite bland and dry...! Hehe

Valentine's day

2 years ago, today. He popped the question that changes our lives. 

We were at oats cafe located in punggol. And right there he slowly led into the topic of getting me a proposal ring. 

2 years later, today. We are married staying in a faraway yet cosy love nest. I'm now 32 weeks and 3 days pregnant! 

How very blessed. In less than 8 weeks time... We'll get to see our little creation. I pray that our son will be a healthy and happy baby. :)

Happy Valentines Day, hubby. And son.
