As Elly Turned 1...

Been busy both at work and home lately, that's y less posts here. Elly's babysitter has stopped taking care of her for 3 weeks now. Has been sending Elly back to Po-po's home at Connaught.

Share some of her birthday photos later as all are saved in Sky's handphone. Had simple celebrations for her with Po-po, Ah-Mah and Mommy and Daddy. Since she loved to be at the McD's playground, we celebrated her bday in McD, with some take-away pizzas from Domino..:)

As for my second baby, until now the sex is still unknown. Everytime when the Doc wanna scan, the baby will be in a position that hide the xxx part. So i guess i will get another baby girl, since she was so shy, 4 times scan also cannot see, huh!

But then, since Elly looks like a boy, many friends and relatives said that it would be a baby boy. Well, let's wait and see...

If it's a girl, they can be 'twins' since the gap is only 1 year
If it's a boy, they will make a pair

On this Date... 15 Mac 2007

Today is Elly's 1 yo birthday! Time flies, and so fast my little girl has turned one. She woke up as early as 5am today and sat up and played with my handphone(which i put under my pillow as alarm).

And myself, has been Mommy for a year and it will be a life-long job. The journey will continue...Ganbate!

Happy Birthday, darling Elly!

Light reading during Pregnancy

Cravings for food is normal during pregnancy but have you heard of cravings for books? Esp cravings for books by a particular/favorite author. Well.. I do...

In my first pregnancy, Lai Mung recommended me to read 'Undomestic Goddess' by Sophie Kinsella. It is about 'slowing down' in our fast paced life. I just loved the story and it did gave me a 'signal' to appreciate the 'non-material' assets I have in life.

And then i came across her 'Shopaholic series'. Has completed the series of 4 books. Recently, she has just released her latest book 'Shopaholic and Baby'. Well, after reading the excerpts online, I just cant wait to read the book in whole! And the cravings is just growing stronger...

Ladies, grab one of her book to read, you will just love it as much as I do!

Elly Quit Pacifier

Just to jot down a little 'achievement' of Elly. She has just quit her pacifier! At 2 weeks short of turning 1 yo, i left her pacifier at my Mom's house. Rather than going back to Mom's place to get it for her, we tried one night without it.

To our surprise, Elly did not throw much tantrums looking for her pacifier. Since then, we kept her pacifier on stand-by but never let her use it. But of course, it takes longer time for her to fall asleep as she will be 'turning around' on bed trying to get her best position.

What have i learnt:
It's not hard to train a baby/kid to do/abstain from anything but need time and patience and attention from us.

30 Weeks Prego

This is what has happened so far:

Now that your baby weighs about 3 pounds (1.3 kg) and measures about 17 inches (43 cm) in length, you’re beginning to feel that your tummy will pop if she keeps growing!

Your Baby: Your little cherub is starting to look more like a chubby little cherub, growing plumper and cuter every day. Her hair is growing thicker on the scalp and those lashes are lengthening. The hands and feet are now fully formed and baby's head and body are closer to normal proportions. Overall, your baby is beginning to look similar to how she will look at birth—just tinier. To prepare for her big entrance, your baby is now starting to control her own body temperature!

Huh.. and i am feeling 'bigger and heavier' every single day!
