I surrender. I absolutely have no mood to do anything work-related. I did manage to force myself to clear 2-days’ worth of schoolwork yesterday. But that seemed to have wiped me out. Lol! 2 days ago I managed to take the baby’s clothes and my post partum clothes out of the storage bags and threw them into the […] Read more…
Birth Plan for Baby #7
For those who have been wondering why one would need a birth plan, my answer is simple – so that both your doctor and you are in agreement about how you, the paying client, wants things done. Never assume that your doctor knows what you would like or not like during labour and delivery. You […] Read more…
Diary of Pregnancy #7 – A Totally Trivial Post
Since I have absolutely no mood to go and mark the work these lovely children of mine have left on my table, I decided to distract myself by thinking on the births I have had. This was triggered by the friend who’s been induced. Coz she was told that it was harder for an anaesthetist to […] Read more…
They Have Been Baptised!
Saturday, 7th February 2009 It was a very special day. Five years ago on 7th February 2004, our 2 oldest children made a decision to follow Jesus. I had the privilege to lead them through the sinner’s prayer and be the first to welcome them into the Kingdom. Daddy was working late that night and so envious! […] Read more…
Diary of Pregnancy #7 – Fighting the urge to do nothing!
Sigh. Three more weeks to go and instead of getting that rush of energy to get everything ready like I always tend to do, thanks to the nesting instinct, I have gone the other way – I don’t feel like doing anything! Everything that is being done now requires a huge amount of discipline to get started […] Read more…
So disappointing…
I just heard that a friend would most likely be induced this week. I am so disappointed. With her. Despite sharing with her about the pros of going into labour naturally (which she says she agrees with), she’s going with what her doctor says is best. Best for whom, I wonder?! 🙁 The thing is […] Read more…
My Amazing 19mth old
Ok – I have got to boast 🙂 The 19mth old toddler has been amazing me the past few days. Her level of comprehension has always amazed me since she was a baby. But now that she is a toddler I am completely swept away. So I thought I would write it down so I […] Read more…
Getting Ready for Baby’s Arrival
Here we go again. As I pass the 36th week of this pregnancy, I am eagerly hoping that the baby won’t be late again! But I am also trying real hard not to hold my breath over it since the last 3 babies came 5 days, 3 days and 6 days past their EDD. In order to […] Read more…
Last Day of Operations at The Book Store
As mentioned before I will be closing The Book Store at Building Up Moms in anticipation of baby #7’s arrival, God-willing, in March. The last day of operation will be 19th February when I am officially 38 weeks pregnant. 🙂 So if you have been wanting to buy some books either for yourself or as […] Read more…
Diary of Pregnancy #7 – 36 weeks & counting
Yes we are finally at Week 36! 4 more weeks to go – hopefully! And how does it feel? Well, my back started to hurt some weeks back. But it is already a bonus coz I usually start getting lower back aches at the start of my 3rd trimester. This time round, I only started […] Read more…
