To Love, To Hold…and To Blame

Sometime around the middle of next week, I will roll (literally) into my ninth month – starting with my 33rd week – of pregnancy. Given that a baby is considered full term at the end of the 37th week, it suddenly dawned on me that this pregnancy could be drawing to a close pretty soon. » Read More

A New Journey

I was half tempted to title this entry “Baby Number 2”, but didn’t want you guys to go “Chey…..” when you read the content. The thing is, ‘having a baby’ is how many people describe a particularly rewarding but tough process like creating an album or a website or a business. So it really isn’t » Read More

Milking it

So, a couple of weeks back, I went for breastfeeding class. It was a roaring success. Haha… seriously, I WAS at breastfeeding class, but obviously not as an instructor. The class was part of the antenatal program that KKH organises for clueless parents-to-be and a nominal fee. The thing about these classes at KKH is » Read More

She Looks Like Me, She Looks Like Me Not…

Back To School…at KKH!

Mars vs Venus Right from the very beginning, starting with conception and development in the womb, male and female brains are wired differently. Even as babies and toddlers, girls and boys utilise different parts of the brain when reacting to the same stimuli, so their brains develop in different ways, which in turn shape their » Read More

TV time!

Did you know that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under 2 years old not watch ANY tv? This is because it is a critical time for brain development and electronic media can get in the way of them exploring, playing and interacting with the people around them.

The Precious Gift of Life – Cord Blood Donation

It’s 39 weeks + 2 days into my pregnancy, and Boubbles is still chilling happily in the womb. So today, I thought I’d blog about something I’ve felt rather passionate about recently – the issue of cord blood banking.

Fitness (What’s That Again?)

THEN I’LL HUFF AND I’LL PUFF AND I’LL…. take a seat here and catch my breath please *meek* That is exactly what I did after scaling three MOUNTAINOUS flights of shophouse stairs to get to yoga class last week. Okay, I may be making a mountain out of Duxton Hill. But 12 months of trying » Read More

It’s almost time! Two of my friends with due dates around the same as mine have already popped!

In fact, there was quite a » Read More
