[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 ...

Thank You and Good Bye, Mr Lee

March 29, 2015

It’s the 7th day since the passing of Mr LKY, the day of his funeral. Since the day PM Lee broke the much dreaded news officially, the nation has been expressing our grieve for Mr Lee’s passing and gratitude for all that he has done for the nation in our own little ways. Overwhelmed by an unexpected degree of sorrow that very morning, I penned ...

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! ...

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 ...
