How is everyone??
I wonder if anyone still read my blog...well, it's my fault. I've been really really busy (or should I say, too lazy) to write anything.
Loads of changed since the last post.
I'm writing this from my office desk now. Yes, I'm gainfully employed and working as a Research Fellow in some research institute. Work's great so far, people's fine, and everything's under control.
Sean has been enrolled into a childcare centre, which is located perfectly in the same building as where I'm working in. So he attends a full-day programme now, and life goes on mundanely...
Except....
We are expecting an addition to the family come June 2011!
Yes! I'm expecting, in fact, 3 months 2 weeks now, and baby's EDD is 13 June 2011, which is just 2 days after Sean's birthday!
I should put in a baby ticker here some day, for me to keep track of baby's growth too.
And Sean's birthday countdown ticker too...
I want to do so much - my heart is willing, but my body is not.
I get tired so easily now. This pregnancy has taken its toll on me.
For a start, the morning sickness is so so much worse this time! I can still keep food down, but it seems I feel repulsive at so many things all I want to do is to stay at home and cuddle up in bed.
I cannot stand the sight of food when they are presented in a big quantity. I couldn't tolerate the smell in the foodcourt! There was once I went downstairs to get breakfast and I was queing up to buy food. And halfway through, I just started seeing stars and started blacking out. I had to squat down and recover. Then I crossed the road to get home, only to feel faint again and I had to squat down again to hyperventilate.
It's always worse the second time, they say.
Well, I hope the worst is over, now that the 1st trimester is over. But I still get the occasional bouts of nausea and migraines (very frequent now, could be due to work..).
Despite all this discomfort, I hope baby is growing well inside.
About Sean now...
He is growing so well I'm so proud of him. He had no problems whatsoever settling down in the childcare centre. No tears, no fuss at all, can you imagine that? I was all prepared for horror stories like him not wanting to stay there, or not wanting to sleep, or eat...but Sean has proved to be such a capable and independant boy.
He talks more now, which is a big relief to us. Sometimes he will break into a tune all of a sudden. Like last night, he sang out 'Ke Ren Lai' in such a funny way it made both Steve and I break into stifled laughter. He is a very very adorable boy, and I am really very lucky to have him.
And Steve, he has been the most accomodating husband ever. Due to my pregnancy and work, I sleep very early now at about 10pm, without doing any housework. Steve then has to be the one to wash the bottles, and get ready Sean's bag for the next day, wash the laundry, dry them etc. Tell me what state would I be in without his help?
I'm a lucky girl after all.
Christmas is just 3 days away. And I'm glad that I'm working now cos that means I can finally buy something from my own pocket as presents to give away to my loved ones.
I have bought tickets to the Ai Concert for my parents and big aunties.
I have bought something that Steve really wants for his birthday and have gotten ready something else for him for Christmas.
I can finally buy something on my own for Sean.
All these will be placed under the big Christmas tree at home, and they will have such a good time unwrapping them.
I'm loving life now, seriously.
