Baby E – The Birth Story

December 9, 2018

Can’t believe it has been almost 2 weeks since Elise’s arrival! I still remember Laurent urging me to go to the hospital 2 weeks ago so that his baby sis can “come out”. And he officially got promoted to become Big Brother the very next day! When I went for my 38 week check up about a month back, Dr Choo told me ...

Pregnancy Symptoms and Pregnancy Essentials

November 22, 2018

I’ve started my leave from work this week so I have some time to tidy up the house, get the laundry and ironing done and do some nesting before Baby E’s arrival. But other than the chores front, I think we are pretty prepared for her arrival with the hospital bag in the car and towel on my seat just in case my waterbag breaks. ...

Name Reveal – Baby Elise

November 7, 2018

A number of you have been asking if we’ve decided what to name our little babe and I believe I’ve answered some of you but also gave ambiguous answers to some because I wanted to share a “name reveal” blog post! If you’ve seen my previous blog post on our maternity shoot, some sharp-eyed friends might have already ...

Maternity Shoot with Josh Khoo Photography

October 20, 2018

We didn’t do a professional maternity shoot when I was pregnant with L and simply did a DIY one at home. I initially didn’t have the intention to do one for this pregnancy as well until Joshua from Josh Khoo Photography asked if we might be keen. We first met Joshua for a shoot that Laurent did for Boys by Mark and L was very ...

Hello Ellie, Goodbye Ellie

October 31, 2017

It’s been more than 2 weeks since the arrival and departure of our dear Baby Ellie, and looking back, it’s starting to feel like a dream because things are going back to how they used to be. I know I have to jot this down in writing soon, before I forget the little details and everything becomes a faded memory. I haven’t ...

Our 2nd Pregnancy – Updates at Week 24

September 7, 2017

I was in the midst of writing about my Amniocentesis experiences and had wanted to complete that first before sharing this update. But we received our 2nd Amnio report last week and went for a follow-up scan with my gynae just 2 days back so I thought I’ll update soon because just these 2 days, we had so many people checking in on us ...

Our 2nd Pregnancy – The Ups, The Downs and The Uncertainties

August 18, 2017

I know, I know, what a title for a pregnancy announcement blogpost! But after reading, you will understand why this is exactly what this post is about. Most of my friends on IG and Facebook would have already known about our 2nd pregnancy as I shared about it a couple of weeks back. They say every pregnancy is different but I wasn’t ...

Bump Style

July 27, 2014

As I was clearing photos from my phone and camera to make space for more baby photos, I was looking though my pregnancy photos and realised I kinda miss my bump 🙂 Looking back, those 40 weeks wearing the bump seemed to have passed by in a flash when initially, 40 weeks sounded like such a long time. The recommended weight gain as instructed by ...

But before I go into details, let me start from the beginning 😉 Week 39, Day 5 – 10 July, Thursday Just after blogging about my last baking post, I went to the toilet ...
