Last of the 4 day work weeks

Today is the last wednesday off. No more maternity leave! Sigh.
Initially yummy mummy was planning bring stella to visit to caroline at mount alvernia and then home for her nap and then tea with my dad...

busy busy. then she thought about it abit more, not so sure about bringing 'lil one to the hospital... the birth ward is fine, but the rest of the hospital always has patients. So now the day has reduced to just tea with dad at east coast park.

Yummy mummy will then have to head off to office by 5 to be yummy architect.

yummy mummy outing part 2

Yummy mummy and baby stella met up with london girl for tea on wednesday.
Yup, on yummy mummy mid-week break day.

So yummy mummy dressed up baby stella in her new gap top and got her only pretty coral bottoms to match. Very pretty and yummy mummy was really pleased with herself. She decided to also get changed. Oops only 3 nursing tops. Eventually yummy mummy picked one that was also in white and coral.

Guess this is what you get



Well, we were headed for botanic gardens when the sky got darker and darker while driving on the PIE. So we made a detour and headed for marmalade pantry at palais renaissance. Stella's first visit to a mall. A che che one at that.

Tea went well. Though in the first 45 mins, there was no conversation between london girl and yummy mummy and the waitress had to place our banoffi pie back in the fridge. [ london girl had to call london on visa matters and stella wanted her nap and yummy mummy had to coax her to sleep]

Stella was really fascinated with the new place and kept looking around (even when it was time to feed). Overall she was quite a dear and won over london girl with her guai-ness.



Hmmm.... where to go next week? The last of the yummy mummy mid-week break

afternoon nap

It's 1.42pm
Lil' one has taken her afternoon nap well today.
Slept at noon til now. She's stirring slightly and making cute noises, ooo ehhh ew ahhh , but has not cried.
She seems entertained by her own voice.

I'm trying to type quietly now so that she thinks she is the only person in the room and go back to sleep.
That's the Gina ford theory anyway.

I'm hardly even breathing now.
oops. the noises are escalating.
but i'm still typing.

wen yin yin go back to sleep.

I did it!

The day 3 April 4am.

Mummy xiu heard stella crying and went over to feed her as usual.
The cry was not the same as the usual cry...wait...cry it was CRY!CRY!CRY!

Lo and behold the lil' one had wriggled herself out of the blanket and swaddle, moved to the edge of the cot and flipped herself over! She has learnt to flip herself over! I knew it was coming! Wow!
She must have felt so helpless. "Help! somebody! Mummy! Daddy!" must have been what she said.
Mummy xiu was so proud she woke up daddy chin [yup at 4am] heh not so much worried that she seemed a bit suffocated with her head pressed against the mattress and cot bumper

And of course, the first thing in the morning she messaged her whole family in the morning [xin if you are reading, i almost sent you guys smses at 4am]

Mr Curiosity

26 March 07.

I have to write this on the blog now.
9.20am. Work time.

I just plugged into the internet radio and it started playing “Mr Curiosity” by Jason Mraz.
And I immediately a warm feeling came and I thought of little stella.
That association surprised me too. But I like it.

A few months back, I made Mr Curiosity my phone alarm and so every morning at 7.05am for the last 3 months I have woken up to Jason Mraz. A gentle reminder to wake up so that I can wake l’il one up to start the day. Knowing that I have to wake up to see Stella makes waking up so much easier.

Ok. Back to work.
