Ke-ray-zee

It has been a little crazy around the house for the past month. The super-keduper ‘Mensa IQ’ maid literally broke the toilet bowl! Some plumbing work to be done which includes changing of the whole toilet bowl in the master bedroom. The master bedroom was in a mess. Ok fine, we got that fixed.

Next, miraculously the hidden piping in the master bath burst leading to leakage in the water closet which leads to water seepage in our neighbor’s bedroom ceiling. Just like David Copperfield's magic trick. Cut the story short, another major hacking and plumbing works for 6 days, with water supply interruption and an unusable bathroom! (and I missed a gathering with some dear old friends). Now, the whole house was in a mess due to the construction. My Cambodian maid probably got numb to hearing me say 'fast fast clean clean".

It was like living in a 3rd world refugee camp with my 2 months old twins,... ok maybe I over exaggerated, but still, it literally drives me up the wall. I am a self proclaimed 'clean-aholic Queen'. My dear hubby could testify for that. If you asked my lil Aiden boy how was mummy handling it (and if he could understand), I am sure this expression will suffice. Nuff said.

I have submitted my resignation and starting a new job next month. I could only pray that all at the home front will be smooth. Clinging on to hope.... like clumpy mascara to eyelash, like the fat kid to ice cream, like the diarrhoea man to the toilet bowl.. ok too much info. Bye.

New Year. New Life

It has been awhile since my last post. We have been so busy that for a moment I lost the sense of time. My two months maternity leave went by in a blink of an eye. Life has changed since. It's no longer just the two of us. I am now officially a mother of two. We are now a family of four.

Our precious twinkies are now 9 weeks old. They are perfectly healthy and beautiful. I could not be prouder (insert a big wide grin). Please welcome Alexis and Aiden Tan. Aren't they the cutest babies ever ever..? ok, so naturally I am biased....but they are my daughter and son... my children. The miracle of life still amazes me.Alexis the big sister was 2.9kg at birth. She is now 5.2kg. She is the sweetest little girl ever...sweet child of mine.

Aiden, the lil brother was 2.7kg at birth is now 5.7kg. He is the most adorable feisty little boy.

Aiden and his cheeky toothless grin.

It is not easy to take good pictures of 2 babies together. Here is one with both of them looking funny (but still cute :P).

My babies, Mummy love you both till the end of time.

Pregnancy Portrait

Some pics of our pregnancy portrait to show our little twinkies later.

10 Weeks

There are no words to describe the emotions that I had when we saw images of both our babies moved or rather 'swim' on the ultrasound screen. It was aaaamaazingg.... these little twinkies are moving!! Unbelievable cutest little movements that are so different from the printed scans...Hubby and I had a very special moment in life... and I am sure there will be more spectacular moments to comeAt 10 weeks 3 days :)

Fraternal Twins!

It is confirmed. We are having fraternal twins! My babies have roommies...I am like a semi-detached there...hahaha. It is exhilarating, over the moon exciting and also nerve wrecking. How am I going to breast feed 2 babies at one go? We will need 2 baby car seats, plus the maid and the barang-barang... can they feed into the car? We need bigger MPV....If it's a boy and a girl, they can't share room for long.. We need more rooms.

Regardless, it is a blessing that we are very much grateful for :) We will take one step at a time, with such fantastic support, I am sure things will iron out. Most importantly now is for the little twinkies to grow strong and healthy. It was such an amazing experience to see the two little heartbeats on the screen and the loving beaming look on hubby's face. Those little miracles are priceless.

My daily prayer now will also include for the morning sickness and food aversion to get better. Oh, by the way, morning sickness is REALLY a misnomer. It should be called the Whole-Day sickness.... bleah..

But my dear hubby is a real darling taking care of ALL the household chores on top of taking care of his preggie wife. He never fail to amaze me. To see his big smile at the end of the day is always the highlight of my day :) I need to count my blessings more often.

We cheated with home pregnancy test kit before the official blood test ;)

Our precious 8 weeks scan

BFP

I have got a big fat positive! My beta is 775. That is a great number. Hubby and I are over the moon excited. We are so looking forward.

And the waiting continues...

Today is my 9dpt. At this stage, I am much more calmer than I expected. Nevertheless, there are butterflies fluttering in the tummy. I am so tempted to cheat and take a HPT before the betaHCG blood test. Check on my HPT kit and it has already expired! Darn. Keeping fingers crossed and am hoping for a BFP on Monday. From now till then will be a test of my sanity and patience (and with my emotional roller coaster outburst, I think I am also driving hubs up the wall).

On the other note, MIL brought over 4 fresh kampung chicken for some added nutritional value in my diet. Hubs and I made some herbal chicken soup in the crock pot and it was delish! Mum is gonna make me some homemade chicken essence. I am looking forward. If you still can't tell, yes I am a glutton...

I havent being doing much around the house. Except eat, sleep, watch tv and Facebook (I actually won quite a few medals in Farmville over this couple of days...hahaha). Hubby is taking over the house chores and LOL ...also maintaining my Farmville when I rest. He is a keeper!

2 Weeks Wait

This is going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life!
Anxiety is nerve wrecking. Hubby has been so supportive and such a darling. This man really surprises me sometimes.... in a good way :D
Will be back soon.
