Today marks week 27. Almost 7 months now.
The tummy is getting bigger and slightly heavier. Last week we stayed at Mummy's Mummy's hse as well as Ah Ma was still away on holiday. On Weds night, Papa was not around as he had to go overseas and was only back on Sat. Mummy was so lonely at home without papa. However she had me with her. I often gave her kicks to say good morning and good night. Ain't I a good boy. Whenever mummy feels sad, I'll always reassure her by kicking her so that she knows that I'm there with her. =)
Sat was a rather eventful day for mummy. She met up with Auntie L, Auntie M and Auntie Y for breakfast at this place called epicurious at Robertson Quay. Food was okay only. Typical western. Mummy still prefers Jones some how.. maybe because of the hot chocolater. *SLURP* I ♥ the hot chocolate at JONES too!!! After breakfast, mummy accompanied Auntie Y to Arab St to look for some fabric materials before they popped by Auntie L's shop then headed to Centrepoint to look at some baby stuff. It has been a long since mummy had any frappe ice blended drink. So Auntie Y and Mummy took a short shopping break at Starbucks. Mummy drank the Green Tea Ice Blend. Tasted like icecream... SO YUMMMY! After that they headed to Auntie Y's newly renovated house to looksie looksie. It is a really BIG BIG house. So nicely done up. Though Auntie Y still has a lot of unpacking to do. =) Papa came home just in time for dinner. Although mummy wanted to spend some time with Papa over dinner. Papa suggested that we brought Aunty Su out to break fast as she has been working very hard at Ah Ma's hse. Intially we wanted to go to Geyland Serai to looksie at the pasar malam but it was sooooo super pack so in the end we headed to east coast hawker for dinner. YUMMY there was SATAY! My first time having some satay! After dinner it was late lo. Papa wanted to take a walk by the east coast but mummy says that its 7th Month liao so better not. After such a full dinner we headed home to sleep. Mummy was also tired after being out for such a long time.
Sunday
Papa and mummy slept in rather late today. They slept till about 10+ am. By the time they got out of bed to brush teeth and get ready for church it was already like 11:20am no time for breakfast so they had muffins which mummy made 2 days ago. YUMMY banana walnut muffins. Headed to church then we went to Crystal Jade for some dim sum lunch at Takashimaya. Papa was such a gem that day. He really spent lotsa quality time with mummy and made her sooooo happy. After lunch, mummy bought PAPA some japanese ice-cream. Papa had green tea flavour while mummy had black sesame. Shiok! Then they walked around TAKA for a while. Mummy wanted to get some mooncakes but seeing the crowd they decided not to walk in. After that we went paragon to collect Papa's new watch then a little bit of shopping. Everyone in the family got something new. Mummy bought 6 new pieces of clothing from GingerSnaps. Papa got a new pair of shoes from Metro Hush Puppies and I got 3 new body suits from FOX. It was a happy family shopping day. By the time we reached home, it was already 6:30pm. Sooo tired. Saw Ah Ma & Gong Gong as they arrived back home today. I got presents from them too!! A Walker, A Baby Sling Carrier and a T-shirt from San Francisco. After a while mummy headed upstairs to prepare for work the next day while Papa stayed downstairs to watch the Rally Speech by our PM. When the speech ended, Papa came upstairs and we all went to sleep as a family. =)
Till next week when I'm 7th months old

Less than 100 days to go ♥♥♥
Today marks week 26 of the pregnancy and its less than 100 days till we welcome our little precious into the world.
The weekend has once again been a really fulfilling one. Poor Papa though. He works hard during weekdays at work and equally hard at home preparing for Baby's R arrival.
Last week, I finally posted on facebook about baby R in my tummy. Received lots of well wishes from friends. Everyone is excited to see Baby R. We simply can't wait as well though not really looking forward to the "sleep less" nights.
Sat morning started with a late breakfast at MacDonalds. YUM YUM! 1/2 the breakfast was sponsored by Pig who passed me some vouchers earlier in the week. After that we headed down Newton to collect some "hand me downs" from cousin val and desmond. Didn't expect to have so many bags of clothes. We even got a new stroller which had a little difficulty opening at first but with a little 4WD oil it works well. Intending to leave the stroller @ mum's so that they can use it when they take the baby out on walks. This one is a little lighter than the one we got from the states. =) After picking up the clothes, we headed to have lunch with my in-laws and the 2 kids (Augustine & Helena) then my MIL also passed me another BIG bag of clothes (brand new) for Baby R. Looks like we won't be buying much clothes for BABY R since there are already so many people who are passing them on. Lucky Baby R! I really feel thankful for the hand me downs as babies grow up so quickly and these clothes are usually used for a short period of time only. As much as I would like to get everything brand new for Baby R but I know its not practical.
Sat evening was Papa's BWC dinner with the guys. I on the other hand thought that it would be nice to have dinner with the partners at a seperate location as well. Good opportunity for us to chit chat without the guys and bond together. So while the boys had their dinner @ Long Beach Dempsey. The ladies had ours @ PS Cafe. Its was overall a very enjoyable time. The group of us include Frodine, Xiao Ting, Felicia, Erica and myself. After dinner, xiaoting and felicia did ask if they could feel the tummy. =) Though no kicks but they seems quite excited to feel baby R in the tummy.
Sunday we woke to have breakfast then church before heading over to David's house warming @ Inspira. Nice cosy place I must say for a bachelor's pad. He's got good taste in terms of the finishings and colour scheme. The gathering was nice to have. Seems like that group is slowly moving into parenthood. We've got Baby Issac (TK&HH) and upcoming Baby J (Addy & Josh) in 2 weeks, Baby R (clement & myself) and Baby * (LS & LL). Soon it will be a full fledge baby parties. =) After the house warming, we headed to IKEA to get a chest of drawer. Its called MALM. Papa was very good. Once he got home, immdiately he went on to fix the whole chest of drawers by himself. I couldn't really help as it was PANTANG for pregnant ladies to even watch the process. He's a good Papa though. So he went to get it fixed while I took a nap. When I woke, he said that there were some parts that were warped and we had to head back to Ikea to get it swopped. By the time we got home it was already like 1030pm. I was already almost flat out but Papa was good. He worked through it and got it all done up by 1110. Well done PAPA!
Now its up to me to get the baby clothes sorted into the various month category and get the clothes washed and put into the new cupboard. =)
Monday
Back to work as usual. Got most of my immediate work sorted out. In the evening, Baby R started his kicking. This time he was really kicking very often for about 3 hours. What can I say. He's our active little Kungfu Master. =)

Kungfu Vs Taichi
Today Marks the 6th Month + 1 week (25 weeks)
It has been a rather busy weekend for Papa and Mama. On Sat, grandma, grandpa and uncle E headed to the states. Uncle E is heading over to Berkley to study for a year. Oh what an experience that will be. We went to the airport to send them off. Had lunch there as well. Mama had to order well done steak because of me. However what they served her was overly well done that it was BLACK. CHARRED GRILLED BLACK. She had to sent back to the kitchen. Luckily ah ma ordered nuggets so I got to eat some before having yummy steak.
Sunday Mama woke up early to have breakfast with Papa before he went to play golf. After that she went home to sleep cos she was really tired. She slept another 3 hours before waking to go pick papa up from golf. Then they went to have fish soup at Bugis then to Sim Lim for a while before heading to home to pack bags. As Ah Ma and Ah Gong are not around, mummy will be staying there with papa to jagar the house. Good also everyday got Auntie Su to help to wash clothes and prepare meals. =)
I gave mummy a surprise on Monday night. Decided to play drums from within her tummy. I used all my might to play a rhythm for her and papa to feel. It lasted for about 2-3 mins. I'm a STRONG boy! The next morning (today) I also started mummy's day by gently tapping on her tummy to wake her up cos she needs to go to work. Mummy says that I like to play Kungfu at night and Tai Chi in the morning.
Sometime this week, mummy will be heading down to cousin's justin and jonathon's place to pick out some hand me down clothes for me. =)
Till the next post.

Our Little Patriot
Today marks 24 weeks or 6 months of the pregnancy. =)
Last weekend was a SUPER LONG weekend because of National Day that falls on the Monday. I didn't realise that I scheduled the gynae's visit on the following day 10th August (today). So instead of having a 3 day long weekend. I have a 4 day long weekend. This means that the coming week is only a 3 day work week for me. WOO HOO!
Its been a busy long weekend though.
7th Aug Sat
Mum had a pain in her knee so in the morning I had to bring her to the hospital. The doc injected some gel like thing and I guess it kindda acts as a lubricant for knees. So hopefully she feels better in no time. After that I had to go to some ulu factory to pick up some stuff for my dad. Luckily hubby went with me. We had BK for lunch after... HMMMM YUM! Mushroom Swiss. My Favourite BK Burger. By the time we reached home to rest it was already like 3+ pm. Being pregant, going out for such long hours is really no joke. Its somehow very tiring both physically and mentally. Konked out after reaching home till about 6+. Hubby and I then headed to YMCA for some yummy claypot chicken rice. What I really like about YMCA is the food is reasonably priced, there's aircon and its not crowded. Then we went to Takashimaya for the BABY fair 2010 just to get a sensing of the
prices. It was a little crazy in there with so many big bellied women walking here and there. They should really make the aisles a little wider. There were plenty to see but being a first time mum and dad, we were both a little confused and overwhelmed by the products that we ended up buying ony nappies, liners and a bed protector (from pee). I saw a really cute pair of booties as well. It was a blue bear pair that I couldn't resist and I knew I wanted to get it for Baby R. Hubby said OK so we got that ask well. Along with these items we also bought 2 sets of front button clothes for BABY R. There have been lots of people telling us that front button clothings are important especially in the first few weeks as the neck and the head of the newborn will be really soft so extra care is needed. Was at the fair only for about an hour. Then we had some couple time together watching the movie INCEPTION. So was it a dream or reality at the end of the day?
8th August
Today started out with a sleep in. We both woke only at about 10am. Shiokness. To be able to sleep is a luxury. We only ahve about 3 more months of this luxury before baby R comes along. He shall be trained to sleep more as well. =) I made breakfast then we headed to Church for service then back to mum's for some yummy teochew porridge. After which we did our weekly groceries before heading to pick Hubby's nephews over for a swim. They've been longing to come for a long long time. We've just been too busy. At the end of the day, the whole family (sister's) came over to swim. They even brought hotdogs and strawberries. For tea. They had about 2 hr of fun at the pool before we had to head off to J's place for his house warming. Brought the 2 boys along. It was also Justin's birthday. He had a very specially ordered AGAR AGAR Thomas the Train cake. Delicious to be served for desert. =)
9th August:
Happy Birthday Singapore.
The day started early as Mum wanted the whole family to go for a photo taking session at Raffles Marina. JD has obtained his doctorate recently and thus the reason for a family shoot. We had breakfast there then headed to Skinny Ah Ma''s hse where the news that I was pregnant was told to her. Could really see that she was happy. Dua Kor and family were there as well so the news has been broken to them too. =)
After Ah Ma's Hse, we went for lunch with Hubby's parents followed by an afternoon nap back home. Woke up in time to watch the National Day Parade on TV.
Now the story of OUR Little PATRIOT. Hubby says that he is indeed a boy. WHY? Because he hasn't really been very active in kicking recently. Only with a slight thud here and there just before bed time. However during the NDP telecast, BABY R gave thunder kicks when the tanks were on display. Every time he heard the sounds of the aerial display, he also kicked hard. Another time during the show when he was kicking excitedly was during the singing of the National Athem. Hence we have come to a conclusion that this is OUR LITTLE PATRIOT. While watching IP man that was broadcast on Ch U, baby also got excited when the kungfu scenes were on. Will he be our little Kungfu Master?
10th August:
Today marks the 6th Month of the pregnancy. Baby is well. Checkup was as usual. His current weight is 703g. Mummy is putting on too much weight according to Dr WK Tan. Time to control the intake of food. =)
Till next week.

23 Weeks and Counting!!!
Baby is 23 weeks old today.
Time really flies. We are almost reaching the 6th months mark soon how exciting! =)
Last sat, mummy went to learn knitting from one of the aunties from the motherhood forum. She's intending to knit me my first pair of booties. Mummy has no confidence in getting the project finish but I know she will get it done cos she's making it with LOVE for me.
In the afternoon, mummy and papa went to check out baby stuff for me. They checked out Cots and Carriers but till now they are rather clueless about what is essential and what is unecessary. So not buying anything much yet. =)
Mummy had class yesterday and all the Kor kor and Jie Jies in class were guessing how old I was. It was mummy's last day with that class. Though they are a bunch of notti monkees but mummys says that they are still a rather fun class. =)
I've been a very good boy, letting PAPA feel my Thunder Kick. Papa always feels so happy being able to feel the kick. =) I must kick more for PAPA and MAMA to feel. =)
1 more week till we go see Dr Tan then Papa and Mama can see me on the ultra sound machine once again. =)
