What a year it has been.
For one, I can scarce believe that I have been blogging on MaybeBaby for the second year straight, faithfully putting in close to 50 entries this year. How on earth did I find so much to say?! I had to revisit my past entries to recall what exactly I have »

Earlier this month, I did something really bad to my kid.
I fed her honey.
Honey. Sweet honey. Nectar of the Gods. A wholesome substitute for sugar. Chock-full of vitamins and minerals. Anti-inflammatory properties. A natural antiseptic. An effective healer.
Little did I know that know that feeding an infant that sweet treat could have fatal consequences.

I found myself getting royally annoyed with my 4-month-old daughter last Thursday.
I guess it was a simple case of mis-matched expectations.
I expected to be able to sleep through the night, go to work, come home, play with her a little, then go through the cycle again.
She expected to be able to wake up at any »

I’ve been wanting to blog for a while now because it’s been a really fun month, with Cristan turning 6 months old and tons of milestones to celebrate! But it’s also been a crazy busy month at work, and then before I knew it, the Christmas festivities were upon us…so I’ve only JUST managed to »

Happy holidays, everyone!
While the rest of the office logs out of their user accounts and heads home for the December holiday season, I go back to work!
Not that I mind terribly or have been dreading my return to life at the desk. On the contrary, I was kinda looking forward to pitching in again on the »

Alright! I am sure many of us have faced countless ‘rejections’ in our life, whatever that situation may be. Personally, I am one of those who cannot take or handle ‘rejections’ very well. Kudos to those who can!
Let me cite some examples that might be familiar to some of you! I have been ‘rejected’ since »

That was the word that came straight to mind when my eyes flew open at 4am on Thursday 1 December.

Out of habit, I glanced over to Coco’s cot by my side. But she wasn’t there. Of course. She was staying over with the in-laws that night.
It wasn’t my baby I was thinking about.

As a parent, I am sure that sooner or later, we have to tackle the problem of allergies.
When Nicole was young, she would break out into hives every 2-3 months. Half her face would be swollen, parts of her thighs would have large red patches, and one of her eyes would get puffy and »

I love Christmas! I love the excitement that fills the air, the jingles and carols that permeate every shopping mall, and the oh-so-pretty decorations and lights. Somehow, it brings out a desire to spread love and joy to those around us. It is also a time when (hopefully) most of us pause to think about »

Before moving on to the entry proper, I would like to invite you to join me for a minute’s silence. A friend’s ordeal has reminded me how painful it can be when you so desperately want kids, but nothing works.
Worse still, something seems to work, but it turns out to be a cruel joke by »
