For posterity, here’s what went down (and out hah)… Wednesday morning, August 27, I woke up with with what felt like slight menstrual cramps. From what I recall with C, this was likely a sign of pre / early labour. I went about my day; took C to camp and then login to work remotely,… Continue reading :: Littlest :: Birth Story
I used to think 2 years is the perfect age gap; the kids could play together, be in the same school and generally be each other’s best mates. In hindsight, if we were pregnant a year ago, I am not sure if C would have made this journey easy. Last year, C had ZERO interest… Continue reading :: Bubba :: Prepping C
I like to shop local because I think it is important to contribute to the local economy and build relationships. While the prices may be marginally higher, I will gladly attribute it to a more personalised / attentive service. I, however, also believe in swings and roundabouts. Yesterday, we went to a local shop to check… Continue reading :: Hoboken :: How to lose local customers
After the expensive lesson with C, Mr. P and I are more discerning with our acquisition of baby related paraphernalia. Here is my list of cannot do without items and wants: 1. Manduca Baby Carrier A good baby carrier is essential because Hong Kong was not a stroller friendly place (compared to Singapore) and New… Continue reading :: Littlest :: Baby Gear Must Have / Wants

And you, well you were just doing your best to adjust to the strange world around… Continue reading :: Bubba :: To my darling Clover

This is officially my last week in the office, though I will be working from home until I pop (in order to enjoy the full 16 weeks maternity leave after the baby arrives). The sister commented this morning that I must be the… Continue reading :: Littlest :: Week 38
I was in 2 minds about doing a maternity shoot for no. 2 mainly because of prohibitively high costs; here most photographers do not include digital files for their services. On average a single soft copy could cost anywhere between USD 20-50 and some only allow you to print up to a 5x7cm. That’s crazy… Continue reading :: Hoboken :: A Mini Photoshoot at Pier A Park
August has finally rolled around, I am 35.5 weeks along and this means in a month (or less eek!) we will get to meet baby A. – C is very excited to meet her sister and has been an absolute joy about becoming a big sister. She has offered to share her toys, clothes, books… Continue reading :: Littlest :: Home Stretch Thoughts
C has always been a mama’s girl from birth; she has a special smile for me, her first word was mama (though I think it’s more the case of when she says mamamama some – well me mostly – will tend to her) and no one can soothe her or make her happy like I… Continue reading :: Bubba :: Daddy’s Girl
