Haiz, another year older. I can feel it more acutely these days whenever I bathe Hannah. My back would be aching by the time I get up from the floor. Perhaps it was also due to myself not exercising frequently since pregnancy. Or maybe it was bad sitting posture lah.
Anyhoo, it’s my birthday today! :P Tempted to lug Hannah out for a nice lunch. Hee hee. Yang celebrated my birthday with me yesterday. He bought a coffee cake from Bengawan Solo and a pink Samsung mobile phone! Took the opportunity to plant more kisses on him. Ha ha. :D The present was unexpected, a surprise of course, as he had bought me a mobile phone as a birthday gift before. But got exam to sit for ok. He wanted me to learn how to use the various functions of this phone otherwise there would be thunder and lightning wor. Ke ke :P
Last year, I wished for a baby. This year, I wish that my extra pounds gained during pregnancy would melt away! Hee hee. So shallow hor. I wonder if God grants this type of prayer request. Speaking of exercise and keeping one’s figure, I’m going to bring Hannah to play in the baby pool soon before the fear of water sets in. My youngest brother, a swim coach, gave me some tips on starting her off. I seldom speak about this busy brother of mine here but he is a nice and giving person. And we have been on good terms. :)
Happy birthday, Ling! How did the cake turn out? Looks delicious, and coffee cake is perhaps my favorite.
Happy birthday Ling!! Just as your prayer for a baby came true, may your other prayers find their fulfilment in Him :) Thanks for all your informative postings… I really like the diaper changing one too! You really should try doing an instructional video next! :)
happy birthday ling =) u r quite a guru at looking after babies now… i read your bathing and changing diaper posts and go wa!!…
Hi Matt, the cake is good but a tad too sweet for my taste buds. :) And thanks for the birthday greeting!
Ah, I heard from Yang that you’re planning to hop over to the Philippines when you visit us again next Feb. I’m excited for you :) BTW, our local tour agencies hardly organise trips to the Philippines. You would have to plan your own itinerary – I’m sure the Internet will have loads of suggestions. We almost wanted to go for a beach resort honeymoon in the Philippines but changed our minds later.
Hi Lisa, thank you! :) Sometimes, I feel like an old hag around the house… Hee hee.
You’re welcomed about the sharing of baby thingies. :D We did take a video recording of Hannah having her bath but er, some parts were a bit censored lah. You might have noticed that we tried to cover certain ‘sensitive’ areas in the photos. Hee hee.
Hi Ann, thanks and happy belated birthday to you too! :D (Er, is yours on the 13th Sept?)
Not guru lah. So malu, hee hee. There are still so many things to learn as a mother! And I guess that all mothers will become experts in their own way and time. :)
We changed our honeymoon plans then because the travel to the designated island involved traveling on ferries.
Enough said. :)
ya 13th sep =)
