Getting to know your Friends (again)

The thing with friends, is that you Think you know them. Then they become parents and you see a side of them you never saw before but perhaps glimpsed at… I recently met up with a friend I haven’t seen in ages. She’s one of those friends that I don’t have to talk to all the » Read More

Shopaholic & Baby

During the first few weeks of pregnancy, I avoided shopping altogether because I had no idea what size I was going to be over the next few weeks. The only new items I got were a couple of pairs of flats because I’m a ‘hard’ walker (I tend to walk very fast and pound my » Read More

Wait

Imagine you’re the boss of a company. You have employees. You pay your employees for the time that they spend at work, so that the company is profitable.

Crossing the Line

This Wednesday marks the 14th week of my pregnancy. In other words, I will cross over from the traditionally “risky” first trimester into the supposedly safer second tri.

Hey, guess what…?

One of the things I really enjoyed doing (in the earlier days before I started to show) was announcing the good news of my pregnancy to family and friends.

Is it just me or is baby girl growing up way too fast? Ok, it was my fault for saying I hoped she would grow up faster just a few months back but she really didn’t have to take me so seriously. It’s not like she takes me seriously when I tell her to pick » Read More
