So we are going to have a .....

...SON! Yippee!!! But both of us dun seem to be as excited as what others think. Or rather relatives and friends are more excited than us! Perhaps becos we already "knew" it when bb was 12weeks old. Just that our Gynae couldn't be very sure of. And with all the symptoms that I'm going through, many friends did commented that we will most likely be having a son. So, now, what's next huh?? Yes, it's the headache time for naming our son... but I still can't imagine going to have a son....

I'm turning 23 Months Today!!

Yep! Jamie's 23 months old today! That's fast. Last year she was just a young toddler who barely took her first step. Time really passed!

Good thing we've captured quite a fair bit of her early years photos. These will become precious memory for us to smile at. And the last time we developed her photos was when she's 6mths old. So there's alot more for me to pick and edit before sending out to develop so that we can show it to the family during her 2nd birthday party !!

Yes, it will be held sometime around end of next month. We have decided to hold her birthday bash at Lisa's place. Though its far from our house but its much easier for us to prepare since there'll be a BBQ pit there and the kids can swim and enjoy themselves while the adults can mingle around the pool area.

The Wedding Bells

We attended a close friend's church wedding early this morning at 10am. CQ was helping out in videography so he went out early before us to capture those important moments of their lives while Daryl came over to fetch us to church. The last church wedding (of our church members) that we have attended was Ivan's wedding back in 2001! Oh boy!! That's 4years ago! Jamie had a wonderful time at the church. What else? Of course playing with her friends and busy running about. While I had some time off to eat at the buffet table while CQ's taking his break :D

Baby 1st Trimester Scan

Wanted to blog this but have not been logging on lately. Perhaps due to the lethargy since the day I'm pregnant I think. So nowadays I have been reporting past events that are sometimes passed 2weeks !!

Anyway, went for my 1st trimester scan as requested by my gynae.

I went alone after settling Jamie for her afternoon nap at my parents' place. Thought it will be a short one so I asked CQ not to acompany me. Moreover the timeslot allocated to me was 3:30pm. (prior that I came with Jamie for my blood test at 9am)

Waited for almost 2hrs (arrived an hour early) and finally it was my turn. The first thing I was asked was if my husband came with me. I was quite puzzled as I thought its just a scan, why need husband around?

It was till after the scan then I realised the important of husband's company.

Before the scan, the gynae (not my own gynae) took at least 10-15mins to explain to me the probability of getting a Down Syndrome child as relation to the mother's age. After which, he carefully scanned through the baby's every details mainly the spine, neck and eyes, face area. I suppose these are the important signs of having a Down Syndrome child.

It was a long-long scan. At least half an hour. The usual ultrasound scan only takes a mere 2-3mins the most. So can imagine, me admiring the baby every movement for so long!!

Surprisingly the report came out instantly on the spot after the scan. With the blood test and the scan, the gyane has given a above 95% of us conceiving a normal healthy baby. Praise the Lord!!

Drum

I bought this little drum from a top shop near our house to add-on to Jamie's musical toys. So every now and then she will put the string around her neck and goes around the house "drum-drum-drum" ...

Beauty of the Petals

Was browsing thru some pixs from my laptop and found these 4 pixs taken by CQ some time ago. Isn't it beautiful?

Home-Made Dessert

It has never cross my mind that I should keep a record of the food & desserts that I attempted although its not as appealing as what it should be. Here's what I did this afternoon while Jamie is sleeping. The only ingredient lacking is the coconut milk which I lately found out that it contains high cholesterol which is unhealthy for my in-laws to consume. For my 1st attempt, I'm thankful that at least I got a compliment from my mil who ate 2 bowls!! (this is her fav dessert)

______________________________________________________ Just before Jamie's bedtime, I decided to take my bathe while both of them had some quiet moments together, catching Jamie's fav hi-5!

Little Princess

CQ came home and immediately went to his room and took out his camera again... He said Jamie's face was exceptionally cute tonight so he wanted to take some short snaps of her..... hellos papa.... ah............... chew!!!!!!

Little Tikes Table & Chairs

I finally settled for this 2nd hand table and chairs set at $65. What I like about this table is that it comes with 2 pull out drawers whereby I can store Jamie's crayons and markers there. The ex-owner even took the effort to protect the table top with a layer of plastic wrapper. What a good buy!!

爸 爸 和 我

While I was shopping for some groceries to store up for the coming week at the nearby wet market, both Jamie and CQ were having some time and fun alone at home. As usual, he picked up his camera and snapped.... I was very thankful that these precious pictures of our darling were so beautifully captured.

WAHM ??

I have been contemplating of setting up my own e-store on the web but have been struggling with the web design as well as available web space at frenzatwork.com for me.

Been talking to CQ about "loaning" out the space to me as I really hope to start off doing a e-store since I have been sourcing and selling kidswear some 2 years ago. This will be a challenge to me as well as a business opportunity to venture out in near future (if successful).

Have not decide on the name of my e-store but it will be something like this... LittLeOnes Wardrobe or LittLePrecious or perhaps BundleOfJoy? ? ?
