Laurent
The eleventh day of every month now holds a special meaning to me as Laurent will be turning another month older with each passing 11th 🙂 I used to have the time (and energy) to update my blog almost weekly, but now, I’m just thankful I can do a monthly update. Laurent is 3-month old today and looking back, I felt like we’ve came a long way! ...

[Product Review] Yoomi feeding system
As I’ve briefly mentioned in my previous post on breastfeeding, due to Laurent’s rather low birth weight I was advised to supplement his feeds with some FM in the initial period. As such, he has taken on bottle feeding quite well. While bottle feeding allows daddy to take on night duties and allows us to leave Laurent with his grandpa ...

Baby L – Laurent’s Baby Shower
Laurent had his baby shower last Saturday to celebrate his ‘full month’. Coincidentally, 9 August was also our ‘paktor’ (dating) anniversary because Wayne and I got together (officially) on 9 August 2007 🙂 7 whooping years ago! When I was still pregnant, I was already thinking about Laurent’s baby shower and diligently scouring Pinterest for ...

Baby L – The First Thoughts
It’s 2.30am and I’m wide awake, waiting for Laurent to be sent to me for his second feed ? Our baby darling took his first look at this world on 11 July 2014, close to 8pm. His birth story will be for another entry. Now, I just want to share my thoughts and emotions, as I reflect quietly upon the amazing flurry of events this ...

Name Reveal – Baby Laurent
Today I’m going to share a little about Baby L’s name – Laurent 🙂 When people hear his name, they’ll first ask me how to spell it, then most of them will ask me why this name because it is rather uncommon. Laurent is a French name so the pronunciation is a little different from the typical way we pronounce English names. As many (or ...

Baby L – Baby Room Set-up
We are officially 1 month away from Baby L’s EDD of 12 July! Almost everyone has been asking me if we are ready for his arrival… I guess one can never say that they are really prepared for the arrival of their little one, no matter how much preparation they have done! But at least, we’ve set up the cot and washed his little bedding set ...

Baby L will be in his 34th week in another 2 days’ time and we just went for his latest check-up yesterday 🙂 I gained another KG over these 2 weeks and half of the weight went to him. He is now close to 2.4kg. Hope he’ll keep up with the growth! Toilet runs have been getting more frequent these days, especially during the night. And no matter ...

Baby L – Week 32
No photos accompanying this post because I just want to put some thoughts into words before my slumber, which is getting a little tough with the little dude on his usual nocturnal hyperactive mode. I’m at the tail end of Week 32 now and it still amazes me, everytime I look at my bulging baby bump in the mirror, that it now houses a ...
