Popping number 2!

So another year past and I am totally not actively writing my blog. Blog has became a past tense and everyone is doing vlog. Dun really bother if anyone really read blog but I probably just want to pen down my thoughts since this url is just for the purpose. 

Today is 19  Nov and here we are at my sister house. The kids were sleeping  soundly and it allows me to have time for blog. This year hasn't been easy for us. We were managing so many things at once but after all, its life. Who says living is easy haha.

Towards end of the year we embraced number 2 !! Yeah!! And I feel my family is complete. Before we were married, we were discussing about family planning and we agreed that 2 might be a good number for us. I also hoped that I could complete this 'task' before I hit 35 years old and ta-da, I've met my 'target' for good. 

Number 2 pregnancy was tough. Besides having to send No 1 up and down from class till birth, the 3 months course which WX went did gave me slight breakdown during his absence. It was indeed an emotional roller coaster ride during my 6th month to birth because that was when he was in JLC period. But I got to stay strong for him, for my family beside being heavily pregnant. Only the spouse will know what we went through. 

The love of my life. And I really love this man a lot. Congratulations on being  a distinguished graduate. Really happy and so so proud of you. Though at times he can be totally irritating, but I still love him very much (somehow). Here is a pic of his graduation of his JLC 2023. You will always have my back when everything falls. By the way, I was only 11 days away from my C sect in this photo and I was a fat Cinderalla for a day before I go home and breastfeed my baby.

My helper who went through with me knows what kind of a person I am and the kind of struggles I faced during the period. There were times I had to go doctors appointments alone and I might have to admit myself to hospital when he was 'outfield'. I was never a strong person but I will for my family. Faith kept me going. 

The beginning of the course where they need to take a handsome photo of themselves. Rayner is excited to join the cohort and was camera ready.

Sometimes it's true that words aren't enough to describe how we felt, there was always a mixture of sadness, frustrations yet determination ,perserverance, positive attitude made me tide through much obstacles. 

Ending of year 2023, let me highlight this whole year with some photos.

Rayner started school this year. Son is growing up and never a day I would want to miss his growing stages.

Son turns 2 this year.

Attending TP wedding in March. Wx was his groomsmen for the day. They knew each other long before I knew Wx. Best buddies!

The daily travel to Ah Ma house after Rayner ends school for dinner. My MIL is such a gem who cooks and take cares of us. She is the next mum who I am always indebted and grateful to. And I told myself I will look after her if anything happens to her. 

Legoland trip in April

Batam trip

My ex boyfriend. Happy birthday to you 🎂.  Love you love you and still love you hahaha

Demise of my beloved grandmother. She is the kindest person I knew and always gave us Yakult to drink whenever we visited her. Losing her is like losing part of my life :(

Happy Fathers day!

Looking good in June 2023

Clothes became limited but happy birthday to me. 

Love starts to be late for every dinner at the start of his course. Mum packets food for him so that he is fed well. I was 5months pregnant and I was beginning to struggle daily activities.

The fat and ugly photo to keep ourselves entertained whe  dad wasn't around.

The almost weekly travel to doc appointment via bus in August.

The long awaited dining at Eggslut. The 1st time and last time I probably visit. 

The tired man who came home to sleep at 12-1-2-3am in the morning almost every night.

Keeping ourselves entertained with the sick son

My husband trying out the suit for his graduation

. I always think that man in uniform is handsome. This is a killer to me amd I fall prey very easily to this. 

A non negotiable date (under my rule) with him for a dinner in Sept before he went for his 4 days 'outfield'.

A short dinner above Singapore ground but the beef wasn't as good ( he was saying). Happy anniversary to us

Those weekends when I took helper and rayner out so that love can have peace at home and I could enjoy family time too. I was 8 months pregnant when I drove us out.

15 Sept 2023  here I am with number 2. Almost 1 week before baby 2 was out.

A week before my c sect. Attended family day at Papa's school. Funnily. I thought we were going to birds paradise hahaha. Rayner tore out a surprise card which papa hid under his poster. Only then, I knew how far Wx was travelling everyday. I felt heartache.

Going through contractions again despite being planned on 24th Sept, little gal decided she prefer 23 Sept and I went through excruciating pain once more. Fearful of needles and injections but i remain poker face through the whole labour process.

Papa Lim and his 前世情人。 I'm glad he has one otherwise I have no daughter. Hello baby R too!!  Mama loves you too!

When the sibling met

The extravagant gift from hubby as a token of appreciation for giving my all to this family. It dazzles my eyes and I can't stop blinking.

Precious one

Rainie's full month. We've come so far from friends to dating to married couples and 2 mini version of u (why not me T.T) Life has never been this complete.

There are lots more I would like to post but I think  my phone is not working too well now. I shall end here for now. 

To be continued...
