New Chapters of Life - New Home

After half a year of exhausting renovation, finally we moved in to our new home before new baby arrived.

Having to plan, design, supervise and oversee the renovation project was not the most enjoyable thing to do while heavily pregnant. Despite some hiccups and blood-boiling moments, I am glad we did it before I popped.

Papa painstakingly came from Jeniang many many times to install the wiring and lighting for us, mama sewed the curtains for us, hubby worked on the cleaning and gardening. Seeing everything be put together with our own hands and efforts is satisfying and comforting.

Thank you hubby, thank you papa mama, thank you everyone. Finally, home sweet home.

 

New Chapters of Life - 2nd Pregnancy

1.5 years have passed since I last posted.

Many things happened in this 1.5 years. Happy things :)

First of all, I was blessed with my 2nd pregnancy.

It was a total surprise! Neither hubby nor I was prepared for a new baby. A pleasant surprise nonetheless.

This was not the easiest pregnancy.

The first trimester was basically me lying on the bed, sick from morning sickness, bouts of flu, sore throat, cold etc.

Then came the easier 2nd trimester.

I decided to bring Cedric for a solo trip to Taiwan. Only me and Cedric. Then we joined Xiaoyi at Taipei, and later on Ah Fen yiyi came to meet us at YiLan.

It was a memorable trip...a blessing that I get to bond with my little man before the arrival of the new baby.

Dear Cedric, mommy love you so so much. I am going miss all the time spent together, with only the two of us...I am sure you would too. Soon, we will have a new friend, new member joining our family. You will have a special someone to share your happiness, sorrow, naughty moments, and great memories together. You and Cayden will be brothers, for life.

I was huge during the 3rd trimester. Having gained at least 18kg, I was 68kg at 38 weeks pregnant.

I didn't have any stretch marks when I was pregnant with Cedric, but developed some at the thigh area this time around. But it's ok. These are the trophies that I won as a mother. Not young, not slim, not perfect, but feeling blessed, contented, and thankful for everything that I have.
