When I found I was pregnant one of the first things I did was search online for the best cocoa butter stretch marks lotion. Afterall I was expecting to have unsightly stretch marks when my tummy gets bigger. As it turned out I had stretchmarks in our areas that I wasn’t exactly paying any attention because I thought only my tummy needed the lotion (boy I was wrong). Cocoa butter worked for me though, I barely have stretch marks on my tummy and it helped combat the dryness of my skin too. It was a good decision to start splattering lotion the moment I found out I was expecting.

Happy Hearts Day everyone! How cute is my little princess in her Valentines Day shirt?! We didn’t do anything as a couple today, it is the first day of the Lunar New Year anyway so most stores are closed and it is more fun to go out as a family. We had a nice family dinner at Seoul Garden and we were so full afterwards (the buffet was totally worth it). We went to Timezone after dinner and Iyah had so much fun playing at the arcade. We got a card and we will definitely go back there next time.

I have been so busy again to update this blog, sigh I wish I could write more especially since this is a blog dedicated to the little girl. Anyway I need to better manage my time so I can do the things I need to do more efficiently. The little girl takes up most of my time of course, we do activities here at home to add to what she is learning from school and so far she’s doing well. I spend time researching online for fun worksheets we can do that I forget to read up on quick weight loss treatments that might actually help me (lol). Anyway the princess comes first so my excess fats can weight

I really should catch up on getting that beauty sleep at least a week before my little girl’s birthday party. I know concealer can cover dark circles but I really want to look like someone who is getting enough sleep on her party. I want to have a few decent family pictures too and I want to look good in them. It’s just hard to sleep when I get caught up on online surfing and scrapping at night. It’s the only time I can do these things, when the little girl is fast asleep. I guess I just have to cutback on those so I can go to bed at a decent hour too.

My husband is a tech savvy guy, I’m glad he is because he takes care of our computers/laptops and other gadgets. I don’t ever have to worry when my computer is not working the way I want it because he’s there to fix it. He can even install video surveillance equipment in our house if he wants too (lol). He assembled my computer by himself so it’s fully customized and it’s working just the way I want it.

Our first appointment with the good people of the HDB in a few weeks and after that we will be taking measurements and scouting different shops for the home fixtures and furnitures we need for the house. I’m not sure we need vessel sinks because the the kitchen is newly renovated but I have to take a closer look at the bathrooms to see if we need to change anything. It is a huge relief that we don’t need to do much renovation, it saves us the hassle of dealing with contractors. I’m looking forward to furniture shopping

My dad will be back home soon after ten months of being at see. I’m sure as much as he enjoyed his work and being on cruises nothing beats being at home with the family. Once he gets home they plan to come over here and visit us for a few weeks. I’m sure he’s excited to see his little granddaughter. He calls almost every week just to hear her sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Mr. Sun, Itsy Bitsy Spider and many more. I’m sure he’ll love her even more when he sees her in person.

It’s been an interesting week for us. Since it’s Chinese New Year hubby was home for three out of five work days. The little girl couldn’t be happier to have daddy home and of course mommy too. She gets to spend more time with him and I get to have a little bit of spare time to spend online, not researching about weight loss pills but home decorating ideas instead. Right now I’m having fun browsing children’s rooms online. I hope I could make the little girl’s room pretty too.

As a stay at home mom I am in charge of my daughter’s well being everyday. And as a mom to an active toddler it can be a challenge sometimes. She is just so active and into the whole climbing up the furniture these days that it is scary. My husband and I talked about baby proofing even before she started crawling because I knew we would be facing some scary days ahead. We didn’t get Baby Gates since we don’t have stairs to block but we did get a lot of Cabinet Locks especially in the kitchen with all the cleaning supplies. I know parents are concerned about child safety and just like any parents we’ve taken precautions and spent a great deal of effort in making sure our home is safe enough for our daughter. Of course I also know that accidents can happen and that is out of my control but I find comfort in knowing that we did what we could.

The wedding we’re going to attend is just a little over a week away and I feel relieved that we already bought hubby’s clothes for the event. We didn’t want to wear a tuxedo and I know I couldn’t make him so we just bought him a nice long sleeve shirt and tie to go with the black pants he only wore once before (which still fits him nicely). I already bought my dress but I still need shoes, shawl and purse to go with it. I’m going shopping with the little girl this week, hopefully it will be less crowded at the mall if we go a bit early. Wish me luck.
