My Dearest Husband


My husband has a lot of free time when he is not flying. It is the perk of the job, he says. Since my application to be a full time housewife is pending approval, I can only watch with envy as he wakes up late and have all the time in the world to hang out with his friends of the same profession. But no matter how many friends he meets or how many activities he has on for the day, he never fails to show up on time to fetch me home from work. And sometimes this chauffeur comes bearing gifts of geberras and sunflowers. 

My husband snores, so loud he would wake himself up sometimes. But recently I noticed the snoring has diminished because he's deliberately slept on his side so that his pregnant wife would have a good night sleep. And he'd never failed to hold my hand underneath the sheets right before I fall asleep. That to me is the most romantic thing ever. 

My husband does not plan. He is the pack-your-bag-and-go kinda vacation planner and is all for spontaneity. While it stresses the mild OCD in me sometimes, it actually brings out a sense of adventure previously alien to me. Thanks to dear husband,I got the chance to shoot an AK47 in Vegas, pat a leopard in South Africa and sky dive in Santa Cruz (well technically that was my idea but he was all for it and did not chicken out).

My husband thinks he's put on weight. I think the little pouch is too cute. 

As I am on this hospital bed waiting for the nurses to check on Chloe, the husband sits quietly waiting beside me with his Nexus 5. And I am reminded of how blessed to have such a wonderful husband who is there for me through thick and thin. This post shall post as a reminder to myself not to that for granted. Love you my dear.

Week 32

Dear Baby

Happy New Year dear Baby C! It's 2014 and you'll be arriving very soon. Mommy is very excited and scared at the same time. Try not to hurt mummy too much when you try to come out okay? 

Mommy and Daddy were in Hong Kong with Uncle Shaun just last month and we brought you along! Did you enjoy the dim sum and all the goodies ? 



Your kicks are getting stronger and more frequent these days. As much as they hurt mommy sometimes (especially when you kick mommy's ribs), mommy thinks she'll miss them when you're finally out. Nonetheless we are both so excited to meet you! 

Grow stronger every day, my dear little bulb!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
