Babelicious Mummy

darling @ 31 weeks!

mummy is on mc today.. down with flu.. dear dear was still telling me yesterday.. how can i be sick again when im pregnant?! hmm.. i didnt want it either.. i want to be strong, healthy and brave mummy for baby Caleb..

yesterday i had a round of sleepless night.. i tossed and turned from 9pm till 11pm then i finally got asleep.. dear dear is also losing his patience at patting me to sleep.. coz when he checks on me, im still awake?! its quite a torture.. or should i say torture is a strong word but its pretty stress when i want to sleep yet i cant?! hmm..

I pray that from today onwards, I will sleep well.. fall asleep within the next 1minute.. because nothing is impossible with Him who makes all things possible, amen! grace grace!

a few days ago, mummy tried to keep calling your name.. Baby Caleb, Baby Caleb in different pitch.. hee.. its amazing when you respond.. you feel mummy calling you.. that's my darling son! even daddy asked me what im doing coz im disturbing his tv time.. haha..

its time for me to take my afternoon nap.. since i dont sleep well at night, its time to take afternoon naps whenever i can.. and still mummy is enjoying the pregnancy and waiting for your arrival on 3rd july!

Ciao! love u muchie my dearest baby Caleb!

my darling @ 30weeks..

its been sometime since mummy last blogged.. I've been cooking dinners at home after Im back from work to allow Baby Caleb to absorb all the healthy nutrients.. Home cooked food is definitely better than outside so mummy has to be alittle more hardworking on it.. Jia you, mummy!!

At our last visit, Baby Caleb weighs a healthy 1.5kg.. Thank you Jesus for a healthy growth.. All's fine.. I can feel Baby Calebs kicks more often now.. Last month, I prayed that Baby Caleb will be an easy baby, being very specific and one of it is his sleeping habits.. May he sleep well at night so that we can get some rest at night.. I know for those with newborns will know that we cannot really dictate baby sleeping habits.. but nothing is impossible with God! Indeed, I start feeling his kicks very early these days and by 10pm when i go to sleep, dear dear will kiss Baby Caleb goodnight and tell him to go to sleep.. I will also whisper my goodnights to him before i go to sleep.. Its a joy just to greet you good morning and good night my darling, Caleb! Thank you Jesus!

We have got ready the baby's room for your arrival.. Mummy promise to be more hardworking reading you bible stories, our praise and worship session and playing xiao yiyi's lullaby's CD for you.. I will also remind Daddy to be more hardworking reading you bible stories and nursery rhymes..

As I am writing my blog, Baby Caleb' is jumping for joys in me.. I can so fill it.. He loves it when mummy talks about him.. My sweetest darling..

My colleagues at work so love you too, my darling! See the baby journal they got for you so that Mummy can update your details.. & Mummy came to realise they didnt know your gender when they got it.. Mummy gota start working on decorating it.. And you can enjoy viewing next time.. Thank you yiyi cindy, yiyi mc, yiyi shanz and yiyi sea.. hugs!


Ciao! We love you so already our darling baby Caleb!

my darling @ week 23!

after procastinating for the longest time, finally i blogged.. hee..

its amazing how his kicks are so frequent and vibrant now especially when Adrian talks to him at night.. He loves Hillsongs praise and worship.. whenever i turn it on and especially when we sing along with him, he gets kicking and dancing.. we can feel him moving to the music.. he must be having lots of fun!

this week, finally we have his name.. so glad!! Caleb.. trying to find a matching middle name for him.. Caleb means, faith, devotion, whole hearted.. in line with my prayer for my darling son.. :)

And we signed up for the prenatal seminar by NCC next Saturday.. so looking forward!

We are so thankful for Him entrusting us with this new life.. Mummy and Daddy are so loving you already!! Hugs!! I think he can hear me, as he is kicking as im typing this sentence now.. my sweetest darling!

our darling detailed scan..

My darling baby, Initially mummy scheduled the detailed scan next saturday but as daddy is travelling next week, we brought the scan forward..

mummy's so excited to see you again.. mummy woke up in the middle of the night and I can feel your movements.. Nono my darling son, you did not wake me up.. mummy's just sensitive to your touch.. i placed my palms on the bump, i can feel you moving left and right.. amazing.. then mummy went back to sleep..

The sonographers @ TMC are really very nice.. or maybe its the standard procedures.. during my 12th week scan, the sonographer took time for me to look at your movements, clearly explaining your body to me.. During the 12th week scan, daddy wasn't present but I wanted him to see the detailed scan, so we went together today..

The sonographer checked your gender again and showed us your genitals.. mummy and daddy can clearly see it in between your legs.. what a cute sight! I hope they send Dr the photo of it.. Then she went to show us your heartbeat, the inflow and outflow of the blood.. Baby, your are touching your ear at one point and the other with your tiny fist clenched.. its so amazing.. then, we got to see your long legs, tiny feet and toes.. you got a sharp nose.. mummy's so glad.. u didnt inherit mummy's flat nose.. you should have gotten daddy's long legs and sharp nose.. my handsome boy to be..

then the sonographer said she can feel your kicks just now.. cause you were moving around.. are you just as excited to show mummy and daddy all about you? then the sonographer tried to tease you to get you kicking mummy again.. but i think you went to sleep.. sayang my darling precious baby.. we are thankful to Daddy God that everything of you are in order and well.. as of today, you weigh a healthy 330gms..

mummy promise to eat well, sleep well, have a happy heart so you can continue to grow ya.. though mummy dont like to drink milk.. but for you my darling, mummy will do it..

daddy is flying off tonight to shanghai which is pretty cold right now, hope he is well clothed and not catch a cold.. while mummy and baby awaits daddy to come back sing songs and read nursery rhymes to you ya..

with lots of love hugs and kisses,
babelicious mummy..

Thank you my dear dear!!

this post is specially for my dear dear.. well, i havent been updating my blog to begin with so i dont think he will read it.. unless i tell him to..


I thank Heavenly Father for dear dear.. He has been very understanding and patient with each passing day..


For allowing me to decide what to eat during meal times, buying meals for me if Im working late even though I can only eat some mouthfuls only, carrying my bag whenever we are together to ease my load, watching over me to ensure I eat my vitamins on time, wearing the correct shoes as some days the weather is wet so dear dear will remind me to wear my crocs to have better grip, letting me have more time to rest while he gets breakfast, etc.. and the list goes on and on..


I know its early but I have had some leg cramps few weeks back and I woke him up in the middle of the night and he helped to massage for me.. yesterday i had a mild leg cramps again i told him i didnt wake him up so he can have a better sleep.. and he's like why didnt i wake him up? haha..


Thank dear dear for loving me and baby.. I can feel the excitment especially at night where we have "family bonding" together.. My dear baby, Papa and Mummy loves you so much.. I am sure you can feel it too right? Happy growing day by day with Jesus protection, my highly favored, deeply loved, greatly blessed baby.. Cant wait to see you again at the ultrascan this Saturday..


Hugs.. Ciao..

the best news ever!!

Over the weekend I have been fretting about who is going to take care of my little one.. On one hand, I dont want to tire my mum out and I am not sure if she is willing to resign and stay home to look after the little one.. as its not a simple task to easily commit to..


Whether I can quit my job and stay home to look after my little one.. frankly speaking, i wouldnt mind that.. besides I always think that is the "noblest" job in the world! Especially you get to face your little one 24-7 watching him/ her grow.. teaching him/ her the ways of life.. And the list goes on and on.. From the beginning, all I wanted is a simple life..


But when I think about the housing loan, my insurance expenses.. I cannot totally rely on hubby for everything.. it will be too stressful on him.. And I cannot buy toys and beautiful clothes for my little one.. I want to give him/ her the best! Like how my parents gave and is still giving.. I am so thankful to them..


Today, I went home and asked mum if she will really resign and stay home to take care of my baby? She said YES!!! I asked her at least 5 times before I left.. Her answer is the same.. Its a YES!! Im so glad.. I told her to recommend me a good confinement nanny for me and during that one month, I will be good and stay home with the nanny and look after my little one.. When I get back to work, she will take care of my baby.. I told her I will hire a helper to ease her load even though she has her own helper already..


I am so thankful to her.. She is the noble one! To sacrifice her job to take care of us, her precious 4 children.. And now she has to sacrfice her job to take care of her grandchild.. thank you Mummy!! You are the BEST!! Love you!!

my strangest cravings..

last week I have been craving for preserved mangoes that are so soury.. I have not eaten them for the past few years at least.. I only have it when my grandmother makes them.. O so yummy!!


I started asking around for preserved mangoes not dried mangoes.. those soaked in water? I dont know what they put inside man! Then 2 kind colleagues told me Isetan supermarket and Biscuit King.. I was adamant about having the preserved mangoes and on Saturday I called up Isetan just to confirm they sell preserved mangoes before making a trip there.. Sadly, they do not.. :( So I thought I better call Biscuit king to confirm that they sell preserved mangoes.. & yes, they do!! That afternoon we went to grabbed 3 boxes.. Words cannot explain the satisfaction that I had..


One word! Fabulous!! It tasted the same as what my grandmother makes them.. Great! My 1st cravings for 3 days is finally satisfied..


Well I figured why I crave for these mangoes, because I feel nauseous in the day at times and these soury stuff can curb that uneasy feeling.. It gave me an "omph" as I place one in my mouth..


Friends have asked me to take sour plums, "suan mei" but I just want the "omph" feeling with the juice splurting out.. that feeling is great and I am so thankful for Biscuit King for selling my grandmother preserved mangoes..


Mummy loves preserved mangoes!!!!! Yums!!

Excited Mum and Dad to be..

My dear baby,


Your dear Daddy and Mummy to be cannot wait for next Saturday's gynae visit to see you through the ultrascan..


Daddy was just commenting to me you must have grown.. Your "hiao" mummy also avoid wearing all her tight jeans so that you can feel comfortable whole day.. =) Though mummy dread those swallowing of pills but because to give you all the good nutrients you need, mummy is also a brave girl by swallowing the multivits every morning.. Though some mornings I will groan to Daddy and he will sayang me before i eat it.. And it takes a super long time for mummy to calm myself and eat it.. but for you my dear baby, mummy will eat it!


These few days, we are going through the baby names.. But we haven found something nice..Mummy has prayed for a name for you my dear baby.. and Daddy God has answered my prayers.. waiting to reach a consensus with daddy before we name you k? my precious baby.. because Mummy believe that name is very important, it will determines your character and all.. So its best to seek advice from Daddy God as He knows Best.. You will surely love it! Grandma is thinking of buying a bed for you already! My dear baby, ur so blessed!


May our dear baby continue to grow and be healthy and all's be fine during the next Saturday's gynae visit.. In Jesus Name! Amen!


With lotsa love and hugs,
Babelicious Mummy..





P.S nowadays I crave for junk food.. Potato chips, french fries, fried chicken, instant korean noodles, more potato chips and more fries.. ytd i even asked my colleagues when are they gg to spree for keropok coz i wan to order all flavours of potato chips! gosh! I hope this junk phase will be gone soon.. I read I need to eat healthier.. May Jesus change all the bad oily stuff to good nutritious foods when the food goes to my stomach, Amen!

1st letter..

My dear Baby,


Mummy is happy and delighted to have you.. But of course all mummies to be experience such morning sickness and I am not spared.. But thank God mine is considered mild at this point in time..


I feel very light headed all day.. from the moment I wake up till I go back to sleep.. I feel bloated whole day and my appetite is not extremely good.. Most of the times, I dont finish what I order.. In the morning, I crave for something sourish so yesterday I had an apple for breakfast, today I had kiwi.. my mum reminded me not to have so citrus thingy in the morning so i accompanied with a cup of milo today..


I feel so uncivilised cause I burped whole day! I seldom burped but I feel so bloated that I burped even though I didnt have much for breakfast or lunch..


Yesterday night I whispered a prayer to have no headaches and indeed this morning I woke up with ease.. Thank you Daddy God for answering.. But still I feel quesy as I am typing now..


Thanks to everyone who is concerned about me though I haven share the good news..


Hugs,

Sweetest Babelicious Mummy

I can see a Father in him!

Yesterday night I was having some discomfort.. some cramps.. gynae said its normal as the uterus is expanding.. I can feel God's amazing hands at work! But its pretty disturbing as I cannot get to sleep.. I kept tossing and turning.. Dear Dear pat me to sleep as usual but it took me more than an hour to get to bed..


This morning when I woke up, I felt so giddy, nauseous and was pespiring cold sweats.. I went to bed immediately to rest.. Is that my 1st wave of morning sickness? Horrible feeling! Then Adrian told me.. wow.. pregnancy is so 辛苦.. he told me, just one is enough.. I thought one is rather lonely.. At least must have 2.. but well, I wasnt in the physical strength to argue so I just laid there..


I pray that my little one will grow, be healthy, be good, be beautiful, be full of peace with a calm sweet spirit, patient, with loving kindness and a tender heart towards God.. Mummy and Daddy loves you!! As for me, may I enjoy pregnancy, no morning sickness, be healthy and strong, gain just the right amount of weight and be in my best of moods.. As for Adrian, may him get to know more and more about Jesus and continue to support me and our baby in every pregnancy I will go through.. In Jesus Name, Amen!

its positive!

A day after the uncomfy feeling of having pad on my panties, period felt like coming i saw some brown but no more, i felt some cramps ocassionally.. but no period.. i am curious to know if im preggy?

so the next day on 3 Nov, i took the pregnancy test.. it showed a +! I can hear my Heavenly Father saying, Blessed Birthday!! I am so happy but am concerned about those brownish stains i saw so we went to see a gp 1st.. i was given some meddy and 2 days of mc which i was told to bed rest when i can..


Before i got preggy, I already told Adrian that I will want to deliver at Thomson Medical so I cannot go with my mum's gynae and my gynae who did the operation for me because they only deliver at Gleneagles..

During my mc and over the long weekend (as Friday was a Deepavali), i went online to research for Thomson Dr. But still I prefer word of mouth rather than the forums on the Internet.. So I still haven shortlist my gynae to be..


on 8 Nov, i saw a spot of brown again.. this time i wanted to see a gynae so i asked mum for recommendations.. I have my own preference and Adrian doesnt have much opinions in this area, so I had to take lead and decide.. This time, I was back at work.. So I had to think about the brown spot and my work.. I couldnt concentrate.. I prayed that my baby will be fine.. In Jesus Name, Amen!


My preference, I always felt that male can be more decisive at making decisions.. so I wanted a male gynae.. even my hairstylist I prefer a male.. i dont mind peeps calling me gender-cist, well i am! hee.. but I also believe there are jobs that women can perform better than men..


So settled, I went to see Dr Adrian Woodworth.. short and sweet! He did an ultrasound on me and I can see my baby!! Its 5 weeks old.. Continue to grow my beautiful and healthy baby as Mummy sayang you and Daddy protect you.. And our Heavenly Father watching over us.. =)


Ever since, we saw the positive sign.. Adrian has been very concerned on wet floors, wet toilets, rainy weathers.. Thanks dear dear for your care over us.. Hugs..



Till then, ciao!

it has been awhile..

it has been a while since my last update..

after the surgery, i had to stay home.. i have not stepped out of the house since last wednesday after I was discharged.. im getting better and better everyday.. Praise The Lord! I hope I can get back to work soon as it gets kinda boring at home..

thanks for all your concern.. im recovering well at my mum's.. =)

thanks for all my dearest

thanks to my parents.. i thought they would reprimand me.. for dont know what.. because before i got married, my dad reminded me to be a filal daughter in grace.. but thanks mummy n papa for your support.. my parents act as the "policemen'? i told them in case she calls them to complain about me.. i know my parents are in the loop.. i bcc-ed them well.. hee..

thanks to my dearest ah lian mummies and a few friends whom i "complained" to on a monday morning.. affecting their blues.. and not making me so blues.. and of course supporting me!!

i will learn to have a gracious mind.. let go.. i think thats the most important?? hee..

all rightey, its time to work.. ciao...

upset weekend..

the long break has ended..but im glad to be back at work.. and thankfully in these very busy periods which i do not even have time to think about lunches, im glad.. there are piles and piles of work to be done.. to send the forms to finance, the update the control sheet for input of every student, the edutrust, the meetings, the trainings..

im just upset and i hope what i write in my blog will not be used against me in anyway.. but hey, its MY blog.. babelicious one.. if you dont like what you are reading, please close the window immediately as i am in a grouchy mood, upset mood..

been wondering if i am wrong in any way, which obviously i do not think so.. out of filial piety towards my parents in grace, i decided to go home on a weekend since i know i will be working OT the whole of next week.. but who knows she never understands my heart.. my innocent heart.. she mistaken.. and the worst she can do was to tell my hubby to be careful against me.. the exact words, xiao xin me.. better xiao xin.. that broke my heart.. so hurt.. i was alone on a saturday night. browsing through my msn who i can confide in.. dont want to call my friends to disturb their saturday so i sought Him, once again.. grace grace..

is it right to tell your child to be xiao xin against his/ her spouse? what is there to be xiao xin of? friends around me, even my colleagues say i spoil my husband.. what is there to be xiao xin of? im so upset... yes, im angry.. but more than anger i was upset.. i make breakfast for my hubb without fail every morning eversince the day we are married.. the days when im tired, i will buy his fave bao and steam it the next morning for him.. make bread with ham, thinking of innovative ways to his breakfast.. many asked me why dont just let him da bao breakfast? but i just want to make breakfast for him.. as an act of love? when i go grocery shopping, i always remember to buy his fave snacks, his jellies, his ice cream, must haves.. as i am always very watchful of what i eat, i never touch these at all.. when i found out from my food expert friend that eating hotdogs and ham is harmful.. i would steam chicken breast mix it with garlic powder and mayo as fillings for his sandwich..

i remembered i was busy working that day when she called to get my help to book an airticket for her domestic helper because going to the agent she had to spend an additional of 100 bucks.. she wanted me to book immediately but as i was working, i followed up closely the next 2 days as the website was down during the 2 days..

i remembered when she was upset, i offered her my place as a form of getaway and woke up at 7am the next day to accompany her for breakfast.. buying her food serving her.. more than how i treat my own mummy..

when all of them came over, i baked scones and made tea for their afternoon tea.. serving them with freshly baked scones to go with tea.. when i knew she likes to eat scones, i made it on a seperate ocassion to give her.. when i knew she was coming, i went to the market to buy durians and got hubby to carry the durians in the bags for her.. because eating durians straight from the shell is more tasty.. there is one ocassion whereby i made dinner for the whole family.. when they were watching tv.. after dinner, i had to wash all the dishes and woks myself..

i will always remember my duty.. i will continue to be filial to her.. fulfiling my duty.. i will learn to be more gracious, thank you Jesus..

i hope there will not be a day my hub said his r/s with her is strained because of me.. but well, ours is because of her.. but no matter what.. just know this.. i love you.. i chose to marry you.. and i hope we will continue to live happily as before..

its been some time..

yup.. it has been some time since i updated the babelicious blog.. it has been sometime since i started working in school.. so far so good.. colleagues are zen and friendly to those I know and met..

thanks to my lovely colleagues, i had a very memorable birthday celebration in school.. but i didnt upload the photos because I have cut of my healthy shiny black hair.. Initially i love it.. but after so many people told me that i actually looked better with my long shiny black hair I regretted.. oh man!how long does it take for it to grow back? hmm.. for the time being, ishall leave it alone till it grows back ba..

i have since now slowly learn to accept my hair.. hopefully in the next few weeks will take some photos and post it up soon..

ciao..

Praise The Lord that im always in good hands..

my last day at my work station..
i will miss the bright yellow.. how it always brighten my mood..

it has been a week since i started work in a new environment.. though its something completely new to me.. but somehow there is a sense of belonging because it's a place i studied previously..

it is very challenging indeed, unlike what i had expected.. haha.. but im glad because at least i wont get too bored.. this one week reminded me of the days back in jj.. meetings, meetings and more meetings.. emphasizing on core values.. getting heard etc..

at the same time, i thank My Father in heaven for always placing me in good hands.. everywhere i go, He is watching.. i made great friends in jj & ms.. and the best part is we are still in close contact.. even the new place which im in, i thank Him for being placed in one of the better teams with a very friendly buddy who teaches me and explain the work processes to me patiently..

i must give credit when credit is due.. My Father who has been watching over me all the time.. Thank You Lord! Sometimes i really thought i have drifted far, but He is there.. because there is no other explaination how im always protected and placed in the right hands.. you must be wondering its too early to tell.. of course.. there are already some aspects i feel stressed already.. but still i must thank Him.. at least i have gotten a good start.. im really touched by Your love..

oh yes, i must mention this.. i even get to work with lecturers who used to teach me.. and these lecturers are the good ones.. hee.. making our 3-hour lectures interesting so that we comprehend..

p.s in case ur reading this claryce.. pardon my bad command of english..

belated birthday sis!

last weekend met sis to celebrate her belated birthday.. had such a great time k-ing.. it has been a long time since we last k-ed together.. miss her powerful voice.. next time when yu yun grows up, we'll bring her to k with us.. hee..

though we are married, working in different places, heading different directions in life.. but im glad our friendship blossom.. well, of course there were ups and downs and i really appreciate the times you stood by me whenever i need you.. of course there were the downs.. remember during some of the team building how you cant stand my "gu-niang-ness" haha.. being a scaredy cat by not joining the go-kart, the paint ball, etc.. and i can still remember the alarm clock incident in taiwan.. haha.. ok, the list goes on.. as our lives progress, i hope we can still stay close.. though we may not have the time to catch up so often now.. take care my dearest sis.. jia you wor!!!

at the same time, thanks for reading my blog and singing those songs that i mentioned on my blog during our k.. bty, thanks for sharing the same taste agreeing xiao zhong and xiao tian looks good.. hee..

sis, the other day you mentioned for a moment you wished you could be like me.. having so much time, without working so hard.. watching shows, bake and cook as i like? well, i must tell you too.. that i always kinda envied you.. you have everything i always wanted.. im not going to elaborate on my blog.. but just want to affirm you that you are in a good hands too.. let's work hard together and continue to encourage each other.. may we always see each others goodness to affirm ourselves ok?

恶作剧之吻。。 it started with a kiss..

it has been sometime since i last updated.. it seems that blogspot is having some technical glitch.. i cant seem to upload pictures..

wanted to upload my next favorite idol drama wallpaper onto blogspot but cannot find the image button.. hmm...

though the show has been aired many years ago but i managed to watch it only recently.. i loved it so much that i watched it more than once.. ok, that has been my style.. to re-watch the show..

im so into the show that every night i researched on the main actors, Joe and Ariel.. how i wish they can be together in reality and not in the show only.. hmm.. ok, i admit im abit over..

this show seemed so real to me.. 江值树, the main actor, how he felt so directionless though he is IQ 200.. he doesnt want to lead a life when everything is already planned for him.. that is to take over his dad business.. 袁香琴, the main actress is a silly yet bubbly girl.. she is also not the smartest.. but she managed to lead 值树 to find his own career path.. and in turn, he found her career.. its so sweet on how their relationship progressed.. it just warms my heart..

this is a really sweet show that i almost thought is real.. i even suggested to dear dear that i wanted to go work part time at dvds shop so that i can recommend sweet shows to customers.. well, good things are meant to be shared.. anyone has sweet romantic shows to recommend??

命中注定我愛你..

recently been watching this show.. it is super funny and super sweet.. very touching.. yet to complete the series.. because got curfew to sleep at 1am everyday.. :( but good also because then i can slowly enjoy the show..

its like a fairy tale come true.. though the prince did not come with a white horse and shining amour.. hee..

i like every part of the show.. the way 纪存希 & 陈欣伊 cared for each other, since the day they met, he has been protecting her.. their unexpected bb, her unselfish ways to make him happy, their family photo.. their 2 years apart, their reunion, their 撒娇 with each other.. so cute and sweet.. funny part whenever they mentioned, " 姜王爷" they clap their hands in unison.. was just showing dear dear that part.. where they clapped their hands in unison.. the touching part, when they misunderstood each other but came to know about the truth on how much they love each other, the sad part when she lost the bb.. :(

im at the last 2 episodes now.. i dont want the drama to end.. been looking forward to go home after work to watch it..

besides the korean 新娘十八岁, that made me so touched, this is the other taiwanese show that made me so touched.. , 新娘十八岁, i watched 3 or 4 times.. i even have the mp3 still in my hp.. simply because i love it so much.. but because is in korean, i cannot really sing it in k lah.. hah..

sharing with you the songs.. my next k songs! hehe.. the mtv itself is sweet..
