Claire turned one month old on 10 May!
The scrawny little baby bird has put on more than half a kilo since then and is now a slightly heftier little bundle of cuteness. She has filled out all around and can finally fit nicely in her newborn clothes instead of swimming piteously in all that cloth.

… THREE,TWO,ONE!
HELLOOOO!!!!
THE END
*****************************
That pretty much summarises Claire’s arrival.
But since I can’t just pass off six words as a blog entry, I’ll have to embellish this post with more details.
So let’s start from the very beginning…
1 April: Week 37
Over the Good Friday/ Easter long weekend, Dan and I checked ourselves into Changi Village Hotel for a »

I’ve had people ask me how this pregnancy compares to my first when I was carrying Coco.
I would have thought that since both my babies are girls, both pregnancies would be more or less similar.
Like how I would have none of that famously big, swollen nose or bad complexion that supposedly come with carrying a »

Wow, February seemed to zip right by us.
Last week, I was recording the number of work hours clocked for the month of February. It seemed like I had just recently taken an afternoon off from work to take Coco for her vaccination appointment a few days ago. Upon checking my leave records, I was surprised »

I mentioned in an earlier entry that we squeezed two family vacations in January into the short window between the peak (read: expensive) year-end travel season and the onset of my third trimester.
I had blogged about our Maldives trip earlier on – that being the second trip, so memories of it were much fresher then »

I never thought that I’d be saying ‘sorry’ so often. To my child. To my unborn daughter. To Claire.
*****************
My sister and I look nothing alike. The first of two girls, I was born with big eyes, double-eyelids, fine straight hair, a (relatively) slim frame, clear and visibly hairless skin, and a tanned complexion – privileges »

Wow. We’re halfway there. Halfway through this pregnancy.
Just like that, I’ve been pregnant for 20 weeks. Has it really been 4.5 months since The Call? Even the extremely exhausting first trimester, when I dragged myself though each day and could see no end in sight to the debilitating fatigue, seems like ages ago.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words after I wrote about the loss of Twin B.
It’s been two weeks since the ordeal. While unforgettable, we have found the strength to move on from it (at least, for now, until I receive another sweet comment from a reader saying how my entry made them cry, which »

Dear Twin B,
Two days ago, we found out that we had lost you.
21 September had been a day that we had been looking forward to, so very much. We had been impatiently waiting out the past three weeks, so that we could see our twin babies again. Your daddy had an important conference call scheduled »
