Sun, sand, sea and lots of chill-time. That’s our definition of a perfect babymoon.
And I’m glad to report that I’ve just returned from THE most lovely babymoon ever! Okay, I honestly don’t know what the standard of a good babymoon is, if there’s any, but I was pretty darned pleased with ours!

I had a terribly hard time keeping my breakfast down this morning.
No, it wasn’t because of first trimester nausea. Rather it was due to some nauseating comments on Facebook in response to a link that I posted. Now, simply fuming internally throughout the entire MRT journey and walk to the office wouldn’t do anybody any »

I blogged last week about how to keep sane while waiting out the agonising two weeks between, in our case, the embryo transfer and the pregnancy test.

This entry continues from my previous post on how to cope with the imminent changes in social dynamics if your friends are expecting.
In this entry, we flip the tables.
If You Are A Parent Or Parent-To-Be:
