Baby L – The First Thoughts

July 12, 2014
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

June 28, 2014
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

June 12, 2014
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 – Week 34

May 31, 2014
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

May 24, 2014
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  ...

Baby Planning – Lists, Notes and Apps

May 4, 2014
Went for Baby L’s 28-week check-up couple of weeks back 🙂 Glad to hear that Baby L has been growing well. He has doubled in size since last month’s check-up and is at a healthy 1.3kg now. In Dr Tan’s words, he is “just the right size” 🙂 In fact, Baby L has been almost doubling in size since his 5-month scan, so Wayne and I were happily  ...

Baby L – The 2nd Trimester

April 5, 2014
I’m enjoying the last couple of weeks in my 2nd trimester. The 2nd trimester is a lot more enjoyable than the first. The nausea subsided, less discomfort, the appetite is back (a little too well now), and although my energy level didn’t quite go back to what it used to be, I have been feeling a lot less lethargic. The 2nd trimester is  ...

Babymoon in Taipei

March 31, 2014
I was initially half-hearted about going for a trip in my 2nd trimester because the work plan seemed pretty packed and I just can’t figure out a good period to be away. And to be honest, the idea of travelling was rather lacklustre during the first trimester, with all the discomfort, lethargy and relatively poor appetite. After much persuasion  ...

Baby Laurent

February 25, 2014
Finally had my 20-week detailed scan today! It’s quite an important milestone because this scan typically confirms the gender of the baby and also looks at the vital stats of the major organs and features of the baby to give mum and dad some assurance if the baby is doing ok and developing normally. I haven’t been able to feel (or recognise)  ...
