A Look Back At 2009

2009 is the year our little one is born! :) The year started with anticipation and did not disappoint when it ended. I never know I could feel so much in a year - the sour, sweet, bitter and hot... all thanks to the big word "Parenthood"!



________________________________________________________________________
CP celebrated her 30th birthday early this year cos DC was away on business trip on the actual day. Nevertheless, CP got lots of LVs for her birthday this year. :)
CP started to feel nauseous all night and hated the smell of lavender which used to be her favorite scent.
Chinese New Year came early this year. CP was all the more happy cos she had the perfect excuse to eat more. :)

________________________________________________________________________
CP's beloved grandma passed away. This came as a shock to her and her family. They had an elaborate funeral for her.
We spent Valentine's Day this year at home. Simple yet cozy.
Our 3rd anniversary was celebrated at Dolce Vita, Oriental Hotel. we were very touched by the restaurant's little thoughtful gestures and we loved the stay at Ritz Carlton.

________________________________________________________________________
CP fell sick during her pregnancy. It was quite a blessing for her cos she was spared from the nauseousness. However, CP did suffer from the dreadful leg cramps.
DC and CP went Japan for a break. Managed to catch more sakura this time, we just love the weather there!

________________________________________________________________________
The Japan trip continued into Apr, we came home satisfied. :)
Baby's gender was known and we started preparing for Baby's delivery.

________________________________________________________________________
H1N1 broke out and we were in constant fear for the safety of our baby.
We attended a niece's 1st birthday and celebrated Mothers' Day simple.
A breaking news for Singapore: Mas Selamat was finally captured.
CP couldn't bear the heat (due to pregnancy) and decided to snip off her long hair.
CP was in her 3rd trimester and both DC and CP enrolled into a pre-natal class.

________________________________________________________________________
On the 32 week checkup, we were greeted with an unfavorable news.
We had yummy porridge for Fathers' Day.
CP's tummy got bigger and she had her first fall during pregnancy and subsequently more accidents.
CP engorged herself with lots of chocolates, esp this day.

________________________________________________________________________
As CP's stomach got bigger, she found it more and more difficult to sleep.
DC took maternity photo shoot for CP, this was the 2nd set.
Baby was born!

________________________________________________________________________
CP was in confinement, it was a long, stressful and unbearable one month for her.
All stressed over Baby's colic problem and the milk supply. Worst of all, she suffered from wound infection.
We celebrated Baby's full month at home with our families, relatives and friends.

________________________________________________________________________
Finally gotten Baby to sleep through the night. After that, it was easy to look after him.
Baby's umbilical condition and colic problem were solved. We were relived.
Bad times were over, Baby's more manageable and we started bringing him out every weekend.
Baby has his first vaccination and fever came after that!

________________________________________________________________________
DC bought his studio lights and we now have a home studio. :)
CP's sis graduated and we had a new family photo shoot. It was fun.
We finally get to see Baby's photo shoot photos.
Baby passed his first 100 days.

________________________________________________________________________
We brought Baby to swimming and he likes it.
It's DC's birthday month and we were on a food binge. Of all the yummy food places that we went to in this month, I love Les Amis best!

________________________________________________________________________
Lots of celebrations await at year end. There was the fun costume christmas party, nephews' 1st birthdays celebration and some other christmas celebrations big and small... We dressed Baby up as deer and Santa! :)


Happy 2010! :)
