Tim had to travel overseas for work the entire week, so I decided to stay over at my parents’ place for a couple of days. I had planned a few external meetings and needed them to babysit, so it made more sense for »

The passing of the first month marks many milestones for both parents and baby.

NOTE: The wife and I decided to write this particular story separately and post them up together. Thought it would be interesting to see if we remembered the same things!

The first thing the husband says when he opens his bleary eyes is, “Is the baby out yet?”

“So, will you be doing any bump shots?”
“No, but I know you will. You and Yi Lin are so into photography I’m not surprised!”
I was chatting with my friend Celine a couple of months back, a hot babe who still looks hot despite being 7 months pregnant (she’s due somewhere around National Day).

(Warning: I am writing this post while feeling incredibly HOT (not in a sexy way) and cranky from being in physical discomfort 24/7. So this might turn into a bit of a rant at parts. It does not, in any way, reflect any ungratefulness or lack of appreciation on my part for my gravid state.)

I had come home for a change of clothes and was putting on my shoes and saw my brother-in-law also preparing to leave the house.
“Hey, where are you going? I’m headed to Tampines Mall. Want a ride?”
“Nah, it’s okay. Thanks. What are you going to Tampines Mall for?”

On some weekday mornings, when I catch sight of my own reflection in the mirror before going to work, I find it hard to believe that there is a pretty side to pregnancy.
