Age is catching up liao

Posted on 25 Sep 2009   by Ling

For many new moms and dads, changing diaper is a breeze after a few practices. :) Babies, like us, like to be clean. Nobody wants to sit or move around in his/her poo. And babies almost always cry to get

Catch Firefly

Posted on 19 Sep 2009   by Ling

Yang and I have been watching every episode of Firefly together for the past few evenings when Hannah was napping. Truth to tell, I didn’t think much of it after watching its first episode. Thought the captain was boring to

Dreaming Baby

Posted on 9 Sep 200918 Apr 2010   by Ling

I was awaken by Hannah’s cries around 5am this morning. In my mind, I was like “What?! I thought she had no problem sleeping through the night. Oh no…don’t tell me this is a start of her waking up …*mumbles*”

Hannah has Cradle Cap :(

Posted on 4 Sep 2009   by Ling

The one thing which I feared for Hannah is her getting skin ailments. I have sensitive skin and she might inherit that as well. A few days after she was born, her skin became drier on her cheeks, arms and

Decals for Walls

Posted on 31 Aug 2009   by Ling

Just a Stewardess

Posted on 28 Aug 2009   by Ling

This is an emo blog. The joys of motherhood (okay, I know that it sounds unbelievable with all the challenges mentioned earlier) made me forget that Hannah does not belong to me (and Yang too). I was rudely awaken to

Ideals versus Realities

Posted on 25 Aug 2009   by Ling

During my pregnancy, I was telling Yang things like “I want to breastfeed our baby”, “I think I can tahan without epidural” (judging from my pain threshold), “I think it would be better that I take care of Hannah full-time”,

Simple Joys

Posted on 19 Aug 200918 Apr 2010   by Ling

Hannah only really started to get attracted to mobiles from 1 month plus onwards. Now that she’s more aware of the surroundings, she can really get excited over mobiles when the music is played and the items moved. The one
