national day
National Day has come and gone and the baby's still swimmingly fine (and inside). So there go my chances of having a National Day baby (aw shucks, so much for showing my patriotism and being featured in Lianhe Zaobao.) It was a leisurely day, with little luxuries that we're indulging in while baby-free:
- we overslept (waking up at noon! oh bliss!)
- grabbed a quick lunch out cuz i was starving (we'd be following the baby's feeding schedule next)
- went for a long drive and grabbed a bite at Changi Village, where we watched the National Day Parade (no late nights with the baby)
- chilled in front of our laptops with MTV on when we got home (quiet nights will be a thing of the past, although i'm sure the baby wouldn't mind listening to Green Day.)
We're expecting an exhausting first few months when the baby comes - thanks to many young parents giving us ample warning. It's very telling that no one gushes about the first few months : ) it's always a reassuring, wizened "Oh, yes, the first few months are the hardest, but when you finally settle into a routine, you'll be fine..."
At least Andy & I have lots of practice getting little sleep thanks to work :)
On the upside, we've been faithfully catching a movie every weekend, since (according to most young parents) that too will be a thing of the past for the next 2 years. Sin City, Fantastic 4 and most recently, Charlie and the Chocolate factory which i thoroughly lapped up. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are such a brilliant combination, with the right touch of irony and dark humour that did Roal Dahl justice. Thank goodness Speilberg stayed away from that one.
Once again the week flew by again with work consuming most of our time, and us squeezing in some shopping for the new office. It's such a great space with high ceilings lined with exposed beams and dark wood floors - shophouses have so much character. We really love the space.
Next up would be to decorate our 3 walls that are currently a clean, albeit sterile, white. They deserve a big splash of colour, something that's larger than life. It would be great to see the space decorated before I pop :)
The countdown to the estimated delivery date is just 16 days away. There's not much left to prepare for the baby materially - we've bought everything that needs to be bought (or so we hope!)
More immediately, I'm just concerned about a smooth handover at work. Once again, I wish I could tap on my tummy and send via morse code a message to the baby to come out AFTER everything's sorted out at work. But time and baby wait for no man.
