Is 640pm now and waiting for ah bei to fetch me home.... cant wait to fall asleep in my bed with momo.... super tired today!

Nanny from LSBC

WAH, I found someone from LSBC chinese service that MIGHT be willing to help to take care of Lucas!

Is like God send nanny.....

just that now i hv to convince aunty Kim Lang to say "YES"

She is contemplating if she shld look after baby or shld go out and work... she has 2 kids, 1 primary 3 and 1 primary 6.... and she is now staying at Hougang BUT might move to sengkang...

PLS GOD, pls make her nice and want reasonable rates and importantly love and want to take care of Lucas.... pls let her find a new place nearer to church and nearer to us....

20 Days COUNT DOWN

20days before seeing my small TAN...

I am getting so impatient yet alittle mixed feeling I dont want small tan to come so soon.... I think i will miss spending QUALITY TIME with Big Tan....

if only my stomach has a zipper and I can place small tan in and out of my stomach ... THAT WILL BE SO GREAT!

RULES: Small tan in another room and Me and Big Tan in our own bedroom
pls pls pls... let this happen and i pray hard small tan can cope well in his own bedroom :) havent manage to get my baby monitor yet and wonder if which brand shld i buy still.... counting down 20days seems really fast and i seems prepared yet so not prepare! haiz, hiak hiak... i am starting to worry and get stressed up and panic!

Ok, got to stop here, Lucas is sitting on my pee bag again... Need to pee now... i am like running to toilet every 1 to 30mins... hate peeing at times...

Nanny means $$$

Haiz, still sourcing badly for nanny...

Called a nanny just now just so nice she stays opp my block BUT....

1. I need her in feb and her grandchild is out by april... My question is what if both baby cry? she will definitely attend to her grandchild 1st and not my Lucas....
2. she talks abt $$$ ... says i got to pay her $600 per mth but once Lucas reach 9mths $$ must top up cos of eating solid food.... My question again, how do i noe if my $$ goes to buying lucas food or her grandchild's food?
3. Can she manage both babies?

Guess this nanny above is not an option again :(

FRIDAY at last... 25 days to seeing Lucas :)

Yippeeeeeee.....

Is Friday at last, can spend time with bei doing up Lucas bedroom again...

YES, we have painted Lucas room from pink to BLUE and drew 6 sheep on the wall.... will show u guys the pictures when i download it :O) guess lucas will love his bedroom that mummy and daddy painted :O)

Will see Lucas in 25days... WAH SO FAST....

is 6pm now and bei is coming to fetch his fat clumpsy wife... Cant wait to see ah bei in 10mins...

Will update again soon....

My Ah Bei is Pregnant!

Hiak Hiak.... and i wonder why I do not have much cravings or pregnancy @#*#@...

Bei has more cravings and mood swings than me! Pack of sour plum given by miin and quan is also eaten by bei.... I gain weight and he gain weight too, wonder if i need to pass him my stretch marks lotion. Bei woke up everyday feeling so down and moody and will nag his whole journey to work.... if only he is really the person pregnant i guess that will be so GREAT... hehe :O)

Things I love about pregnancy:

• I dont have menses cramp for 9 months... yooo hooo :P
• I have bird nest to eat
• dont hv to do housework
• bei loves me like princess
• have more excuse to get bei fetch me around to the door step
• can avoid smokers with valid reason
• everyone around me take care of me so much... feel so good leh...
• i hv this very good gal fren "Michelle" she will always buy me breakfast EVERYDAY!

Things I dun enjoy during pregnancy:

• Water retention (so badly that i swell like pig)
• becoming uglier and rounder
• cant hv raw and shell food
• cant jump and run ard like mad
• cant play with snowball n miki
• cant wear HIGH HEELS (I miss my heels so badly :O( )
• cant wear my pretty dress
• panties keep rolling down to the bikini line cos tummy too big liao.... and i refuse to wear ah ma panties....
• contipation (badly.... )

Overall i guess i love pregnancy still just because of LUCAS and AH Bei.... for both of them... anything for me to suffer is ok.... I love U guys so much....
