Week 18

Dear baby,

Looks like the doctor won't confirm you are a girl just yet. We gotto wait for 2 more weeks for the detailed scan. Make sure you smile for the ultrasound camera okay?

Mummy has been really busy with work but will make sure I get enough rest so that you can rest too. Mummy and daddy are also planning a vacation next week and we're bringing you along!! How exciting is that? Gimme a real hard kick soon okay?

Mummy and daddy love you very much.

Week 16

Dear Baby

Daddy is off to San Francisco, so it's just you and me this week. Mummy misses daddy very much, but at least with you around to accompany mummy it doesn't feel so lonely. Mummy has been busy singing in church this week. Was it very loud for you in there? Mummy's hoping that you would join me in the music ministry at some point in the future. It will be fun I promise :)

Mummy also met up with daddy's family for dinner. Your gwandma, gwandpa, aunties, uncles and cousins can't wait to meet you! Neither can mummy and daddy. But looks like we just got to wait for another 5 months!

We love you, so very much!

Love,
Mummy and Daddy

Week 15

Dear Baby

You are growing bigger every day and everyone notices this little bump on mummy now. Everyone is so excited when they hear about you and they are asking if you are going to be a boy or a girl. Mummy is hoping for a girl, but daddy wants you to be a boy. We will know in 2 weeks if you cooperate but whatever you turn out to be, I know it wouldn't matter because mummy and daddy will love you so much regardless!! Just keep growing and keep wiggling in there okay. Mummy can't wait to feel you kick soon!

Love,
Mummy & Daddy

Week 14

Dear Baby

It's already been 14 weeks and you are already the size of a lemon, can you believe it? Mummy's tummy is growing so much bigger each day and daddy says it will be comparable to his anytime soon :) How are you doing inside there? Just the other day, the sonographer tried to coax you to move your face so she could see your nostril, by asking mummy to cough. We saw how much you actually moved with just a slight cough, which means you must be moving a lot with all the movement that mummy makes every day! I gotto tell daddy to stop with all the tickling from now onwards else it will be an earthquake in there for you!!

Alright Baby, grow well stay and stay strong. Mummy and Daddy love you.

Week 13

Dear Baby

Can't believe you've been in my tummy for 13 weeks now. It was so great seeing you in the ultrasound screen the other day. Though you look really tiny with a big bloated head, you are already wiggling your little backside like how your daddy would. It really makes me laugh.

Mommy is feeling better these days and trying to eat more so that you can grow bigger and stronger. It's funny how you completely changed mommy's appetite to only favor local food like Bak Chor Mee and Mee Poh Tar which mommy never touched before. You are truly a Singaporean baby :) Sorry for the expired milk that mommy accidentally drank the other day though. Hopefully that didn't go down your system, fingers crossed.

Alright baby, mommy's gotto rest now. Keeping on wiggling in my tummy ok? See you soon in 3 weeks.

Love,
Mommy

Top 10 Reasons To Be Married

Being stuck with one single person for the rest of your live really isn't as bad a picture as some might paint. Here are the top 10 reasons why I think we should all get married.

10. You don't have to date weird random guys anymore 

Remember that one date you went out with this guy who talks incessantly about soccer, or the dude who sweats a bucket while eating a bowl of ramen, or the German dude whose accent is so heavy you couldn't understand a word he was saying? Well no more of that, FOREVER. 

9. No more breakups 
Because you are married, breaking up is actually now a divorce involving lawyers and everything serious. You think twice about stuff like that. 

8. Women's charter
Need I say more? 

7. You have a legitimate reason to have a baby
And your friends can't say you got knocked up.

6. It makes financial sense

You double your saving, and get tax breaks when you have children. Not to mention HDB rebates and all those goodies the government dishes out to get you hitched. 

5. You can get some

Any time, any day. 

4. You increase your social circle

Suddenly you are not just that chick he dates and brings to meet his friend. You are his wife, and are here to stay. They better start liking you.

3. You are not living in sin... Anymore

Ever felt guilty of living with your boyfriend when you are not hitched yet? Well, get married - problem solved, guilt assuaged. 

2. And The Lord God said

"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him..." 

1. You've met the One

When you have met the love of your life, you want to be with him every day and night. You miss him when he's not around, and smile when he gives you a stalk of sunflower for no reason at all. What better reason to get married than to be with the One? Happy one year anniversary my beloved husband. May there be many more years to come.
