Diary of Pregnancy #7 – slow countdown to Birth (Pt 2)
Saturday, 21st February 2009 (Week 38) Ah! So torn! Feeling rather uncomfortable, I started to pray that the Lord will bring forth the baby QUICKLY, like now!

Pre-Natal Depression
While post-natal depression is more commonly heard of and dealt with, apparently pre-natal depression occurs at a higher rate! Just google “pre-natal depression” and you’ll see many articles attesting to this. What exactly is pre-natal depression anyway? And how or what does one do about it?

Being Frugal – Groceries
Ever since we were featured on Sunday Times, many have asked how we keep our grocery bill to just $150/week. We used to be able to keep it down to $120/week till all the various food items rose in price. But do bear in mind it is an average. Some months are higher, some lower. […] Read more…
