Getting Ready...

Wow, it's been awhile since Mummy and Daddy has written here. Guess we have both been busy.

Chinese New Year came and went and this year with all the usual festivities and food. Using this 'excuse', Mummy as been 'feasting' in an effort to get her weight up as Dr Lim has already 'cautioned' her about her low weight gain. She certainly didn't want another chiding from Dr Lim. In the end, she managed to gain a couple of kilos but still got a chiding because she should have gained more weight. So, it's back to feasting for Mummy.

Baby Matthias finally cooperated enough (just) for Dr Lim to check his heart flow and everything's fine and normal. During the check-up, he was really active and we finally realised that the movements we have been feeling this time wasn't kicking but his fiddling with his fingers. Of course, right after we said that he wasn't kicking much, he decided to give Mummy a big one, just to remind us that he's listening. We were joking that Babby Matthias takes after Daddy in this way, say something about him & he's likely to try prove you wrong.

Everyone is getting ready for Baby Matthias's arrival. Mummy, Daddy & even Granny is getting into shopping sprees, getting the necessary diapers, milk bottles, and cots for him. We were at Taka last Sat after Mummy's checkup and there were lots of stuff that looks like we should buy. But a nice saleslady has suggested to get them at the Baby Fair this coming weekend. So, this friday, Daddy & Mummy will be taking leave to beat the weekend crowds at the Taka Baby Fair.

Last night, Mummy thought of you boys again as we approach April again. We feel so sorry that while Baby Matthias seems to have everything getting ready for him, while you guys had nothing. I guess in the end, nothing will change that all three of you are special in your own little ways and the two of you will always have a very special place in our hearts.

We love you... Take care...

Happy 1st Anniversary

Today is Chinese New Year Eve, as well as the 1st wedding anniversary of Daddy and Mummy. Oh yes... we are going to have a big bang celebration later - the reunion dinner!

To make up for the lost opportunity to celebrate our 1st anniversary, Daddy and Mummy went to Pan Pacific Hotel for buffet last Sunday and stuffed ourselves with loads of food. We haven't really had the time to spend some quality time alone. Weekends are always filled with housework or spending time with our respective families... so it was a good change to be able to do something different.

Mummy has been able to feel Baby Matthias move, kick and punch more frequently for the past 1 week. Its quite an exciting experience. Feels like a little mouse running around the lower abdominal area. But of course the bad part is that if Mummy lies in a position that is uncomfy for Baby Matthias, he will retaliate with a punch or kick almost instantaneously. If Mummy refuses to budge... more punches and kicks will be served. Luckily, Baby is more active during reasonable hours like in the morning and late afternoon... and not some unearthly hour.

Baby Matthias finally got his first cute (I think he would want to be referred to as handsome) outfit last Sunday.
