Mother’s Day

One of the things I love most about being a parent, is when the kids have a recital or a performance in school. Amazingly, it stirs up a spirit within us to want to see them excel and it’s really heartwarming to see the broad smiles on every parent’s face. This May, Nicole had a performance » Read More

Pregnant Pause: a book review (and more)

I haven’t written a book review since I was in Primary 3. Simply because nobody has (a) forced me to do one; (b) asked me to do one; (c) paid me to do one. And I wouldn’t be doing one if I hadn’t stumbled upon this great little find sitting pretty on the New Arrivals shelf » Read More

Rules Vs Reality

Before Renee was born, Dan and I spoke about how we were going to care for her so that we would be on the same page. We agreed on the following:   Cannot pick her up every time she cries because she might come to expect to be carried every time she cries (ie: spoilt). Besides, » Read More

Top 5 useless baby items

Having kids is like a license to buy all sorts of useless baby stuff. I think its a condition that hits all new mothers, and they go on a rampage to amass the most frivolous baby items. If I were a business person, all I would sell are colorful baby-related stuff that serves no real » Read More

The Back Up Plan

There’s a new Jennifer Lopez movie in town. I haven’t yet decided if I’ve forgiven her yet for her super-duper boring performance during the Season 6 finale of So You Think You Can Dance, but the premise does sound promising. Girl is getting older, and wants to have kids. But cannot find the right man to » Read More

Life (as I used to know it) Changes

Since returning to Singapore from our year-long around-the-Americas trip, we have been charging full steam ahead into the world of parenting. We patted every cute kid on the head who wished us “zao sheng gui zi” (loosely translated into “may you have children soon”), caught up with my regular visits to the gynae, set aside » Read More

After the One Month Mark

So I’m officially a month-old Mommy! We even held a party of sorts for me to mark the date (Aw, c’mon – Renee is too young to protest remember anyway). Catering food and ordering cakes for our party of 50 was rather painless although not entirely satisfactory. That’s what happens when you do things last » Read More

Biohazardous Me – Part 2

In my last post, I shared the instructions that the hospital gave to me for semen analysis. 1) Discharge and abstinence – Discharge on Sunday and abstain (heh… I said ’stain’) until Thursday. 2) Shoot into a bottle – Thoughtfully provided by the hospital in a ziploc bag labelled BIOHAZARD.

Talking About Parenthood

My mum is very tickled at the idea of Dannie and I being bloggers for this MaybeBaby portal. “You have no baby yet,” she keeps saying (gee, thanks for reminding me not to mistake that stranger’s baby for my own), “what are you going to blog about?” I have to gently remind her that our blog is » Read More
