[Giveaway] Abbott’s #MyKidsPotential Quiz + Goodie Pack Giveaway

April 26, 2015

What was your childhood ambition? What did you want to be when you grow up? I had so many childhood dreams, I can’t quite remember which ones I was really serious about! Now that I have my own child, I can’t help but wonder what Laurent will grow up to be like, what strengths will he possess and what profession will he undertake in the future. ...

[Blog Train] Day in a Life of…

April 9, 2015

If you have been following my blog, you would have known that Laurent has already started on Infant Care and no, I’m not leading a tai tai life (sadly). I started working the very first day we left Laurent at the Childcare, which means I’ve officially been a full-time working mum (FTWM) for more than a month! Days as a Stay at Home ...

[Blog Train] Embracing Motherhood

April 4, 2015

Last weekend, Laurent stayed over with his grandparents as Wayne and I had something to attend to that night. When we returned home from the event, we quickly washed up and were ready to hit the sack within an hour. But both of us ended up tossing around in bed because we seldom sleep so early nowadays. Most nights, after we return home from a ...

Baby L – Starting Infant Care

March 14, 2015

It has been less than 2 weeks since Laurent started going to infant care and I am already missing the precious mornings we spent snuggling in bed (yes, even with his feet and hands all over my face), his excited squeals in the bathtub during his morning baths and hearing his cute little snores while I’m pumping during his naps. I’ve had the ...

Baby L – Us at 6 months old

January 23, 2015

I know I’ve been repeating it for the umpteenth time but I can’t help lamenting on how fast time is passing and how quickly Laurent is growing up! He has now past the half-way mark of his status as a baby and looking at him everyday, I almost didn’t realise how much he has changed and grown! Where did all the baby-ness go?! He almost look like ...

Baby L – Daily Routine during my Maternity Leave

November 15, 2014

Another month just flashed past! Happy 4 months old to my baby boy!! Looking back, I must say I really enjoyed this month with Laurent. He has become (even) more chatty so he is always keeping me entertained. He has also achieved 2 milestones this month – sleeping through the night and flipping on to his tummy for the first time. A ...

Baby L – The First 3 Months as “First Time Parents”

October 11, 2014

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

September 25, 2014

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

August 16, 2014

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 ...
