Baby Steps

I decided, with the new year that has just begun, what better way than to create a new blog, to pen down my thoughts and ideas and really, what ever that comes to mind especially now with me being pregnant. Hence the name for the blog. I think its rather cute and so true in so many ways! I will still be keeping my old blog on tumblr alive for a while i guess.(Least till i get bored of that and decide to shut it down as well.) This blog however will strictly be about my journey to mummyhood, and of course, the ramblings when our baby is born.

Being pregnant is indeed the most beautiful feeling in the world. Its weird at first, because you are not used to this new changes, but as time goes by, it just gets more exciting. From the first time you go to the doctors and get an ultrasound done, to seeing that tiny little heartbeat and later on finding out the sex of the baby. Then you start feeling the movements when your baby grows bigger, earliest stages of feeling movement and kicks would be in the 4th month, however, for me, i started feeling the movements and kicks only in the 5th month, and that, is the best feeling in the world. =)

I have to admit though, from modeling to hanging up my heels for a bit, its been tough. I've loved modeling, and everything that comes along with it for years and have passionately joined at least one competition a year. But then you sit and think, there's bigger more beautiful things that are about to take place. Since i've hanged up my heels, i sure have been packing on the pounds! From weighing just 52kg, i now weigh 60! (I am a cow...hear me "MOO") LOL.

Oh yes, most common question i have been getting is am i having a baby boy or a girl...so.......Been planning out so many things for her arrival, from picking an ideal cot, to changing bed, pram, wardrobe, her clothes. OMG! You can go crazy with buying baby clothes, all of them so cute and pretty. Sham, my partner has specifically told me not to go on mental and buy everything in PINK. It's been very hard, because for some reason, everything looks that much prettier in pink. But fine, not so much pink. But 60% pink is fine right? LOL

I'll leave you all with this for now. I'll post up pictures soon too. Thanks for reading and most importantly, sharing my journey with me too. Much love.

 

PS: If there's anything you'd like to ask, do comment. :)

A baby brewing, again?!

I can't thank the people who have followed my blog from the get-go for all your words of encouragement and love. Thank you for pushing me to write again. It warms my heart to hear when my readers tell me they enjoyed reading my journey and somehow felt like they were right there with me too. Big love to you all.  Here i am sitting down and staring at the screen. I feel rusty. I haven't done this in a while. My last post was, well ages ago! But - hello! Seeing as i set up this baby blog of mine some 6 years ago, i felt it is only right that i continue writing in it seeing as, as most of you would know by now, i am baking baby number 2 in the oven! I'm in the last leg of my pregnancy now. I'd call it the 'uncomfortable' stage.  Where you feel like a whale,  your legs are sore,  your body's aching and the baby is kicking like there's no tomorrow.  But,  kicking is good.  Kick away baby,  so momma knows you're growing well.  So let's ...

Be your own woman.

I've been meaning to pen this down for a while. Something rather nasty happened to me over New Years which should not have happened, but it did. Lets just say that i was told by a man (not my boyfriend, for if he said such a thing we wouldn't be together)  that "Women need to be women - and you are not" . He went on to tell me something along the lines that the Man IS the man of the house . And i don't know if what he meant was that i should bow down and let a man do whatever in the household but that was how it sounded like to me. Now, for people who know me - they know i'm a very strong woman. I have had a pretty tough time growing up. Even harder paving my way through life. And the biggest change came when i had my beautiful daughter. But some how, i have pushed through and i can safely say - i'm in a good position in my life now. It WILL only get better. Prior to having my kid, i did not have much working experience. Yes, i worked in the F&B...

Low Self Esteem Post-Pregnancy?!

I've had writers block for months to be honest. I felt things were just getting pretty monotonous with this blog and just lost my motivation to write for a while. Then i thought, this is not only a baby blog! It's for you, the mummies, who take the time to read about my journey. I wanted to be able to write about things that bothered me as a mom. Things that not many would write about. Things that truly were embarassing or even ashamed to talk about. So you could share this part of my journey too and know that if you feel like how i do, you are not alone! :) Well, as the title suggest, i had a bout of self esteem problems right after Kiara came along. This was totally new to me! I was always very confident about myself. I loved how i looked, talked, walked etc. I loved my flaws too. I guess that was also because i somehow managed to maintain the slim figure etc. I was even very confident about myself when i was pregnant. I felt beautiful. (Note: Not all pregnant women seems to ...
