Bump Style

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  ...

Baby L – The Birth Story

In a blink of an eye, Baby Laurent is already 1 week old 🙂 3.35pm – this time, last week, I was probably in the clinic waiting to see Dr Tan about my contractions. 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  ...

Name Reveal – Baby Laurent

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

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

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 Planning – Lists, Notes and Apps

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

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

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

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)  ...
