Anytime Now!!

Baby's engaged, and I've been getting Braxton Hicks contractions. So it shouldn't be long before Baby comes out now! Although, he really seems quite happy in there...doesn't want to face the world yet maybe :) Or he's waiting for us to sort out his room completely and make sure the house is clean and all.

Maybe it's 'nesting instinct', or maybe it's just the usual neat-freak Selena, but I've been pottering around the house neating up shelves, wiping surfaces, cleaning the house in general. I think it's just usual neatness. Cannot tahan when the house is messy/dirty lah! There's still more cleaning that needs to be done, but don't wanna tire myself out either.

Over these past few months we actually did up what used to be the study room into Baby's room. Previously there was nothing built into the room, just movable shelves for our books. We decided to build in a wardrobe for Baby, with shelves on the side. Built-in seems best for our house cos the walls aren't straight, and neither is the floor! When we were using free-standing shelves, we had to wall mount them cos otherwise they'd just topple over cos of the incline. For the shelf that was wide enough to stand stable on it's own, there was a HUGE gap between the back of the shelf and the wall!

So, since we really don't want cupboards falling onto Baby, who will be pulling at stuff, build-in was the way to go!

We also got curtains from IKEA! I love those curtains! Super colourful and cheerful! :) Although cos the IKEA restaurant uses that same cloth as blinds and tablecloths, Baby might be wondering why they stole his curtains :O)

And the cot! Yep, sheets all washed and cot all set up and ready to be used!

So, Baby, what you waiting for?!?














Maybe he's waiting for Mee Siam. Going to my parents place today cos my Mum is cooking her famous, and oh-so-yummy Mee Siam, which Baby hasn't tried yet. Maybe he knows what's coming, so he's waiting for a taste of it. Greedy boy!

But he's been quite naughty :) Giving Jon and I false hopes that he'll be coming out soon! The Braxton Hicks were quite close together a few times already - ard 10 mins apart at some points. But irregular, and painless (if only the real thing was painless too!). So.....BABY!! COME OUT!!

Anyway, looks like the rest has done Baby some good. Doc was worried that Baby was a little small, and gave me MC to rest at home. Baby's weight has since jumped to 3 kilos, and Doc is finally happy with his weight! So since Doc is ok with the weight now, I'm telling Baby to stop growing otherwise he'll have a hard time coming out! Or rather, I will have a hard time getting him out!!













By the next post, Baby might be here! Keep a look out!

Chye & Celia's Wedding!

Yep! Another wedding!!

Uncle Chye and Celia finally tie the knot! :) They've been dating for 12 years!!! And poor things, in about a week or two after getting married they're gonna become granduncle Chye and grandauntie Celia! :)


Can you see Chye's eager face in the reflection of the glass? :)





















Zhen, Mi, Ah Ma, Ah Kong, Ji Yi







Terrence and I collected our first ang paos ever from Chye hahahahaa :) We've been teasing him for years about getting married sooner! :)










The ROM was held at One Rochester, and dinner was at Four Seasons. I always enjoy meeting up with all the relatives :) Esp since I haven't seen this side of the family for more than a year cos Jon and I were away in London over CNY this year. Zhen and Colin also came back from China! It's been even longer since I last saw them!!


The two cousins hiding inside our bellies :)










I just like the colours of this photo :)











Isn't Mummy's dress lovely!












The three expecting ladies!










And the three Fathers-to-be!

Janine & Desmond's Wedding!

Yay! What a happy day :) Janine and Desmond get married! It's always nice when friends get married :) The prep for the wedding was a fun time too - cutting, chatting, packing, chatting, and er...chatting :)


Me and the pretty bride!





































At the end of the night, we made a stunning discovery...somebody can't blow bubbles! :O) Hahaa :) I've a few funny videos, but I think I won't live to see tomorrow if I upload them!!

Ve Vent Vegge

Jon took a half day's leave and we went for a lunch date at Original Sin!

We had thought of trying their lunch set a few times, but never really had the chance. Since we had planned to take leave for Janine's wedding, we also planned a few weeks in advance to have a lunch date at Chip Bee Gardens together :)










The lunch set was just nice - not too filling, and it felt very healthy. All veggie! Original Sin is a vegetarian restaurant. We both had the veggie wrap, which was delicious, and freshly squeezed juice (they offer a range of 4-5 choices of juice combis). The dessert was very yummy too - affogato! The vanilla ice-cream they used was very good. You could even see the black dots from the vanilla pods. And I was very happy they were willing to accommodate and give me a decaf option for the coffee.

But, after the healthy, yummy meal, I imagined Baby saying "Mummy, why you only gif me veggie??" Alamak :)

MHIFCE & PHTCUAYSISC

So, I invited the girls over for a MHIFCE & PHTCUAYSISC Party :)

What's that?

They were all wondering too I think haha. It's the "my house is finally clean enough" and the "please help to clean up after yourself so it stays clean" party! :)










The house has been in so much of a mess that I couldn't bear to have a gathering! It finally looked decent enough to be presented, though not completely clean :) Anyway, the real idea was just to meet up with everyone cos it's been quite a while! Wanted to meet everyone before I popped! To keep it fuss free, the easiest way was to order pizza (no cooking!) and use disposables (no washing!). Hassle free for a preggers lady!










We played a round of the game Therapy, and found that most of us are psychotic and in desparate need of therapy! :O) Think we each went through at least 3-4 therapy sessions! Anyway, hopefully they all left fully recovered and ready to face the world again :)

Mummy's Baby Shopping Spree

Mummy went on a baby shopping spree the other day...and even got a Mothercare membership! :) So Baby Nair now has even more tiny clothes :) They really are so small! Was washing the clothes and when I hung up the little socks, I was telling Jon it's like hanging Christmas socks for mice!

Preggers Tummy (5) - Hiaoing Away!

Came home and decided that since it's been quite long since I took some tummy shots, it's time for more! And, oh man, did I get Jon to take more hee.

Took a photo of what I wore to work that day - a pregnant outfit I like very much cos it's not frumpy :) That isn't even a pregnancy dress! It's an old dress I bought in Sec 1 or 2 that just got shorter and shorter, and eventually ended up hanging around my calves - which I found looked strange on me. So some years back, I cut off the bottom and hemmed it up around my knees. Ta da! Little black dress!

Hopping around as usual :)






















Then changed into separates so I could take tummy shots! :) Baby's grown quite a lot I think. Plus, it looks like he's gone lower! THE DAY is coming soon!
