Ideals versus Realities
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”,

Decisions… – Part 3
It’s also one of those unique things about being in Singapore – that grandparents are typically ‘roped’ in to help look after the next next generation. My parents for certain joke about it a lot when they’re asked what their
More morning photos
One perk of being in the public service is childcare leave where I can be at home and help Ling with Hannah, plus take more pictures of our growing daughter. It’s semester break for me now, so also the perfect
Decisions… – Part 2
Ling is less adverse to the idea of having home helpers. I’m on the other hand dead-set against it and want to only consider it as a last resort when we absolutely cannot manage at all. Many reasons. Reason #1.

She’s getting bigger!
We haven’t weighed Hannah since her last appointment with the pediatrician 4 weeks ago, but she sure feels heavier than ever! I’m guessing she’s about 4.5 kg now at least judging from how quickly my arms ache when carrying her.:)
