to yiyi

Dear yiyi,

today i turn 3 months old. i told mummy i want to write you a letter. but since i can't write yet, i will tell mummy what to say and she will write it on the computer for you to read.

i want to tell you i love you. and i enjoyed all the hugs and kisses from you. everytime i cry and when mummy and daddy don't want to carry me, you are always the first one to pick me up. even when they are laughing at me for faking cries, you still be the one who comfort me and carry me to walk around the house.

you always come during the weekends to spend time with me. and i always look forward to that. i know you will play with me, feed me and even change my diaper when i poop. you love taking photos of me too. that's why i always make funny faces for you. i know it makes you happy.

yiyi, i am growing up very fast now. very soon when i can crawl and walk and run, i know you'll still be holding my hands and carrying me. i know you will bring me to parks to run around, i will ask you questions and you will answer me patiently and i will hold your hands when we cross the road too. (mummys say this is very important so i must tell you)

ok yiyi? i am going to drink my milk now, see you very soon.

love,

benjamin boy

the 2 precious man in my life

my son finally arrived on 21 jan 2010 at 10.21am. now he is the gem in the family with everyone fussing over him. he looks like his dad especially his eyes, the legendary wei's family eyes.

when he's hungry, he likes to throw his little hands around and lick his mouth. that is his signal to us that he's hungry. he looks so adorable doing that. he makes alot of strange noises when he's sleeps and hungry. sometimes i feel like i'm feeding a little gremlin instead of a human baby boy, ha.

the initial 2 weeks were testy, if there's such a word. it seems like we were both testing each other out. testing each other's patience, endurance and erm sleep.

through the tears and fears, i'm truly blessed that i have a loving and supportive husband who keeps encouraging that i'm doing very well, is very hands on with baby, loves and cuddles him and always simply just loving me.

my mum who makes every effort to come over on her days off to cook and clean for me. ensuring that i get proper rest and nutrition and keeps asking me to get more sleep.

my mother in law who took a week's leave to also cook and clean for me. to look after baby while i sleep and during the nights, just feeding and changing his diapers.

my dad in his own whimsical ways, keeps asking us to send him photos of baby and the way he peers at baby while he sleeps. and his awkwardness when carrying baby.

my dad in law, who likes to carry benjamin and bring him for a 'walk' around the house.

my sister, who can just look at him for hours, place him on her legs and takes photos of him.

i'm thankful that my son is enjoying so much love from his family. i think this is the best way he can grow and learn from. that love is truly love when it is unconditional and that this tiny little being has completely stolen our hearts and in his little ways, show me what family is.

waiting game

i am very confused about how the contractions should feel like. some say it feels like menstrual cramps, some say it feels like tummyache. and some says you will know when it happens.

but i seriously don't have a clue.

right now, i'm riding out the days just laying in bed, to the sofa back to the bed, playing the waiting game.

anytime now.

2010

and now its already 2010. over the past few weeks, we've celebrated christmas, faith's new baby, new year dinner and very soon this coming week, the chong's wedding and then awaiting my very own new baby's arrival.

so much happenings and its only the start of 2010.

thanked God that He has gone into 2010 and declared that it is good. and pastor has shared that this year is going to be a year of restful increase.

right now as i'm typing this, baby benjamin is wriggling in my tummy. guess he's looking forward to this year too, ha.

can't wait to see you handsome boy!

nights

i had a nice dinner with my sister, well the dinner food itself was'nt that great, but i enjoyed her company. we were supposed to watched avatar in the evening but i tried to booked it too late so we just hung out and have dinner.

went to changed my phone and i told her to help me talk to the sales person as i'm too self concious to talk to anyone right now. why? not funny when your face is bloated and people keep commenting that i've put on alot of weight.

waiting for the husband to reach home to catch the man united match!

while he's sleeping

i love to disturb him when he sleeps.

to see his face scrunches up when he scratches his head whilst sleeping, how cute.

to fuss over him while he's still in slumber and him giving me the please leave me alone groan.

to shower him with kisses before i leave for work.

to simply watch over him and imagine the dreams he's dreaming.
