Week 21 pregnancy update – It’s been quite a breeze of a pregnancy so far. I feel like my usual self with all of my usual energy. The only thing bothering me mostly is how bulky I have become so quickly after Week 20. It’s like a sudden surge of growth!
View PostYou know, today I decided to talk a little about pregnancy fears, and how I feel about being… pregnant and being a mother so very soon. You’ll think 9-10 months is a short gestation time but really, ask any mother to be and they’ll tell you it really isn’t. The first trimester passes by the quickest. You really only find out you are pregnant around 7-10 weeks (missed period after the 4th week). By then, more than half your first trimester…
View Post#ProjectNursery takes a break from the fancy and goes a little practical. In building Bean’s little nursery where he will spend many hours in, parents like me do have to consider the practical aspects of the nursery. The little details sometimes drive me crazy. What material of the baby mattress, what material should his little clothes be made of, what material should the baby cot be made of to prevent any poisoning if my baby chews on it, and the…
View PostHere’s introducing… the Baby’s Room before we have our go at decorating it. Omg I hope it turns out nice. So I have one wall painted yellow previously with brownish curtains & flooring.

I started planning a nursery when I met with Denise Ang, the founder of Babysafe, a baby bedding specialist.…
View PostI asked a couple of friends what brands they use for sterilisers and there were quite different replies. One asked me to check out Philips Avent and the other strongly recommended Pigeon. And then again, as with stuff like that, mothers usually only use one brand and stick with it mostly. I was quite confused with Philips Avent’s sterliser because I wasn’t sure if it could fit all bottles and I really kept seeing Philips everywhere! Pigeon is a well…
View PostSo we have made our VERY FIRST purchase for #ProjectNursery. I woke up early one day and got distracted by all the Qoo10 ads and starting online shopping. I came across this ultimately cute wall art pieces and bought a whole heap! They are all squares and sized 18cm by 18cm only! Perfect for a wall collage. Each piece is SG$4.45 each only! I bought all of the above 8 pieces. So cute right!! :) Big love for these. I…
View PostSo your friend just announced her pregnancy, what should you say?! Here are some suggestions on what to say to your pregnant friend to show the support that you truly want to show.
View PostOne of the biggest woes of pregnancy, at least to me, is the possibility of having stretch marks. If stretch marks are inevitable, then can we minimise stretch marks? I’ve seen it on many mothers before and I don’t think I’ll enjoy having even more than what I already have on me. :/ When I found out I was pregnant and during the 1st Trimester, the only thing I bought was stretch mark cream. I am really someone who never…
