walk with us on this special journey..

It’s the last weekend we’re spending together as a couple!

(Technically speaking we have 2 furkids but I guess a human kid is going to be quite different from a furkid.)

I recall Wee Cheng on her last day of work before she had Doudou/大象/Rachel, & she mentioned having a last dinner wif her Hubby before the baby comes. Now I know how that feels.. it’s a strange feeling.

One may suggest that we go out & have a super nice dinner/ good food to enjoy our weekend before the baby comes. But I neither have the appetite nor the energy to do that – “lightening” certainly did not happen for me (yet) – he’s not engaged at all, & sometimes I feel full just by looking at the food! Plus he’s not exactly a light baby.. walking ard with a watermelon tummy does not appeal to me in any way..

SO.. I figured the best way is to spend quality time at home wif Hubby, & the 2 gals! Afterall I think it would be some time before we can enjoy the same peace & quiet in this house again

Step #20 on Zachary’s bathstation is below..

Hee that’s our wedding bathtub! & on the wall notes from WBB’s class..

Hee, more photos! We finally got down to adding some of the cot accessories – though the really essential stuff like the sheets should still have to wait. Have also unpacked his ‘equipment’ (e.g. steriliser) & read the manuals on how to use them.. haa.. so many things to learn! Not to mention I forgot 90% of what I learnt from WBB’s class le.. oops. It’s catching up time!!!

Yuan & I absolutely *heart* this musical cot accessory from Lamaze which can belt out soothing tunes & make cute bug sounds! There are lovely flashing lights too, though not so obvious in this pic. Have been itching to put it up. Oh ya & now, gloworm’s the ‘guinea pig’ for testing out all the items haha

Have also installed the Disney baby musical mobile from dear Elly! Hee. Gloworm’s testing out the changing mat from IKEA too.

Finally loaded up my fancy diaper caddy from Motherswork haha. The bath basket holds his bathing things..

6 DAYS TO GO!

This will be a photolog more than anything else.. hee.. lazy.

Step #16 – ZACH letters from Cotton On Kids! Yuan thinks my arrangement is ugly so we’re still thinking of some better way of arranging the letters on Yuzhe’s room door.. haa.

Today’s the 10th anniversary of the Sept 11 attacks.. *gulp* it didn’t seem so long ago actually. Timeline of preps as of today..

Yay! Received the gloworm toy from Amazon from Yuzhe’s 姨姨&姨丈 yester! It’s so adorable, & can belt out 6 soothing lullaby tunes. The face glows up too *likes* He’s zzzping in Yuzhe’s cot on Yuzhe’s beansprout pillow now.. hahaha.

Hee.. nautical-theme centerpiece from Robinsons for Yuzhe’s party.. haa!

Finally, Yuzhe’s new curtains are ready for collection! *happy happy*

The shop la, say shipment of the cloth was delayed but anyhow, we’re quite pleased with the final product (price & quality) =P

Hehe & it goes well wif the theme of Yuzhe’s full mth party too – nautical! ^^ Check it out below:

Binded up..

When put down – there’re fishes, sharks, octopuses, tortoises, starfishes & even seahorses in a sea of striking blue! Hee!

Also in the nautical theme – Yuzhe’s pirate bookends from Cotton On Kids, wif the small collection of books which Yuanyuan & I bought!

Haa.. this lesson was much anticipated ‘coz we heard that we can buy some essentials during the class! It was also less zzz-provoking ‘coz every couple had a doll to play wif (i.e. it’s not just listening to her talking or looking at slides).

The dolls look kinda creepy ‘tho.. our baby boy doll had sneaky Chinese eyes which were pulled slightly upwards at the sides.. haa. And they all have different expressions – some kinda expressionless (like ours), some zzzpy, some yawning & some looking v happy. Haha.

The Daddies did most of the work – practising the various holds & learning how to bath & dress & handle the baby. I guess she wanted to emphasise their part to play, i.e. it’s not just the duty of the Mum!

& we also realised that she is kinda anti-maid & anti-confinement lady.. all the stories she told us abt maids mishandling the baby leading to serious injuries, as well as silly old fashioned things confinement ladies do is really scary.. we reckoned that she wanted to put across the msg that the parents should always always be the primary care-givers & not the maid.. I’ll be sure to be watching the confinement lady much more closely man.. ..

It’s the last class next week le, so fast!
