I wonder what the midwives thought of us. Our room was almost directly in front of the midwives’ station and I’m sure they heard every word.
A photo of my baby bump at 38 weeks, taken eight hours before baby Kaylin was born. Hubby and I used to think we’d really miss my bump and being able to feel baby moving inside me but now that she’s out, I think I like her in the flesh much more. In the [...]
When my doctor told me I was 3cm dilated at 37 weeks and that the baby could arrive “tonight, tomorrow or next week,” I called Y, dropped by the office to put in my medical leave, gathered some essentials so I could work from home and went straight back to the house to pack my [...]
Little Kaylin arrived right on 38 weeks, weighing 6.2lbs and and measuring 47cm. Mummy is extremely thankful she spent just five hours in labour and is settling into motherhood. Daddy has discovered he’s actually pretty good with babies, although he is yet to change a diaper. Baby, meanwhile, has discovered the joys of being [...]
I have been sent home with a medical certificate to await the arrival of the little one because, as the doctor put it, it could be any day now. Hubby’s on standby and in the meantime, I’ve been working from home. Which I love. Our baby definitely takes after the father – active at night, [...]

Since Y and I have decided to keep the sex of our baby a surprise, everyone’s been having plenty of fun trying to guess if baby is a boy or a girl. From my colleagues to our families to even the aunty who runs the beauty salon next door at work, people just keep coming [...]
I suppose it was only a matter of time, but we’ve discovered my first stretch mark on my belly. Actually, make that stretch marks. I have two, one on either side of my baby bump, and really, if Y hadn’t pointed them out, I might not even have noticed (that’s how big my bump is [...]
Sometime last week, I sort of lost my temper at Y while at my in-laws’. I almost never do that, and the problem with being so easygoing/reserved in general is that people tend to panic and overreact at the first sign of emotion from me. That night, they saw emotion. Believe me, if I’d really [...]
