I have moved!

I have finally packed up and moved to a new blog! Find me here www.aroadfrequentlytravelled.blogspot.com I know the URL is kind of long-winded but really couldn't think of anything else!

Bye bye meliathinks...

I have been riddled with guilt for not posting anything the last month or so...feel like i should put something down as the past month has been filled with so many going-ons! Have been meaning to start up a new blog to document the next stage of my life here in Singapore to keep friends in Sydney updated...but have been holding it off for the longest time...but i WILL get it done before peanut comes along. A quick update... We are back...adjusted...all thanks to both our parents who have made the transition back very seamless and pleasant! We still reminisce about Sydney alot...esp our cosy apartment back in Newington...and the leisurely brekkies we had on Saturday mornings... I am now officially 5 weeks away from my expected due date...my tummy protrudes so much, that looking at myself sideways still makes me gasp! Have also managed to engage the services of a very capable gynaecologist...and was convinced to engage a doula as well. (Must be wondering what a doula is...will explain more in the next post!) We have attended most of our antenatal classes...much wiser but don't know if it would translate to actual competence when peanut arrives. As you probably notice...we are still referring to baby Ho as peanut...so names for this baby boy is still up in the air...any ideas? Also cracking our brains for a suitable and meaningful chinese name. Personally...am feeling very excited and yet apprehensive about delivering and being a mum. Kind of hard to describe how i feel...but it is comforting to know that millions of mothers out there have been there and done that...and they survived! Feel like a lumbering elephant at times...can't bend down very efficiently to pick things up when i drop them...can't cut my toe nails without getting breathless from squashing peanut...need to ROLL out of bed each morning...have swollen fat feet when i walk too much...among many other physical discomforts...so i am quite ready to be un-pregnant again! Ok...this should be sufficient update till the new and improved blog is up...hopefully soon!!
