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.

Dealing with Loss and Grief – Our Experience

November 14, 2017

It’s been a month since the date that will forever be etched in our hearts – 12 Oct 2017. We went from counting the number of days that have passed, to number of weeks and now we’re counting in months.

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.

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 ...
