noun
Informal . a person or group that is friendly toward another because the relationship brings benefits, but harbors feelings of resentment or rivalry.
Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE Coco deeply and I don’t think of her as my enemy (well, not most of the time anyway).
But THIS is a different situation altogether:
When she gets between me and my beauty sleep, my blanket (because she kicks it off) and my husband, then yes, the »

Hello everyone!
We’re back from our trip to Bali aka The One With Coco’s Inaugural Flight.
I know, the topmost question on everyone’s mind is, “So how was it?”
The verdict is: WE SURVIVED! (well, obviously)
As for the truth: … we’ll get to that later at the end of this entry.
But first, here’s a detailed rundown of the »

I can hardly believe it:
WE HAVE BEEN PARENTS FOR HALF A YEAR!
Coco turned six months old on 22 February. We took a quick walk down memory lane (or rather, a quick scroll through iPhoto) to recap how our little family of three has been doing for the past six months.
At the Beginning
Coco entered our world. And »

Last week, I wrote about my experience returning to the office as a working mum.
Two lovely readers left comments on the post. Both shared that they felt guilty about spending time away from their babies and in particular, missing their babies’ “firsts”. I have more thoughts to share on that topic but first, I thought »

Ever since Coco was born, scared as we were at the idea of introducing a tiny newborn to the strange noisy world out there (and also terrified of introducing strangers to our noisy newborn), we made it a point to continuously bring her along for outings so as to get us used to going places »

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 »

Before I had a baby, I was always at a loss for ideas when it came to getting gifts to congratulate the new parents. More often than not, I ended up getting an item for the baby, which always turned out to be something cute but not particularly useful, like a nice onesie or cute »

I had a great start to the week. A reader of the Maybebaby blogs saw me and Dan at a wedding dinner last Sunday and approached us to say hello! She had left nice comments on our posts before and it was just great to meet her in person. Plus, I’m chuffed that people recognise »
