Week 23
Dearest baby,
Oops.. looks like mummy has been lazy updating the blog. It's been another busy week for both mummy and daddy. Mummy was busy with work as usual, and was so exhausted in the evenings that even your kicking and punching don't wake mummy up at all. Daddy on the other hand was busy serving national service, and now he's gone to work at Christchurch. So little baby, it's just you and me for the weekend.
Oh and we have also started thinking about how to do up your little nursery... stay tuned Baby C!
Kisses,
Mummy and daddy

Babymoon @ Paris 2013
With the husband singing ‘The baby is coming…’ to the tune of PVZ when the zombies emerge, it’s hard to tell if he’s excited or scared when Baby C comes along; especially when he loves playing PVZ so much he loses sleep over the game. Scared or excited, we know for sure that our life will be turned topsy turvy next year. So we planned for a one last fun vacation for the year while I am still allowed to travel.
And we decided on Paris! It was a 12 hour flight, and frankly probably too long for a pregnant lady. But I made it back alive, and Baby C is fine so it was all worth it.
It was a first trip to Paris for both of us. As we only had a few days in there, we only covered the touristy areas like Eiffel Tower, Musee d’Orsay, Musee du Louvre, Arc de Triomphe and the Sacred Heart Basilica of Montmarte. Thinking back, I must say the highlight of the trip was the walk along River Seine. The weather was perfect for a stroll, hand in hand with the hubby *beam with happiness just thinking about it*.
The river cruise in the evening was fantastic too, as we got to cover some spots that we missed in the day like the Notre Dame Cathedral and got to the enjoy the night view of Paris. It was pretty romantic in a cheesy way admiring the City of Light in all its glory. The dinner was so-so at best, but we thought it was better doing the river cruise this way, than joining the crowd. This pregger mama needs some pampering after all!
Some reminders/tips for future Calvin and future Pui San if we ever make a trip back (who knows when that will be!):
• Make a reservation for the Jules Verne restaurant and buy the tickets up the Eiffel Tower early!!
• Take the train (RER) from the airport to town. The traffic from the airport is horrendous and cab fare is really expensive.
• Unless you understand French, you should get the interactive English guides in the museums.
• Make another visit to the Louvre and this time, spend a day there with tea breaks in between!
• Go back to Pont des Arts and see if the locks have multiplied.
• Never go to Paris (or Europe) in the summer.
• Go back to La Cadole, a small restaurant run by a husband and wife team. Not a Michelin-star place but food was good!

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.
