Adjustment to lifestyle..

As the title says it, it seems tat both of us are goin thru a transition where we start thinkin as parents, wats best to do for bb when he/she is out, for now n for future ... nowadays, it seems watever we r buyin or spendin, we need to carefully plan for it.. n most of the time when we r buyin things, its either for the house, mummy or bb only, n of course for wifey's maternity clothes n the medical bills for check up n all... its not to say tat we were spendthrift before this, but its just tat we r "more careful" in our spendings now. wat has happened in the past week plus? well... my sis gave birth to my 2nd niece, her name is Ranae... she was born slightly on a smaller frame, but she is very active. In fact she started tossing around on her own in the 2nd day itself! The pic as above. She was an angel, at times when we hear her cry it kinda of like prepared us for wat to expect when its our turn .. :) but guess tats the joy of bein a parent uh! so far, being kiasu, we have also started reading to bb of stories, we have bought alphabet flash cards, we bought some instrumental music CDs (5th onwards month, bb would hv developed hearing n can already pick all these up), we have also gone to check out the "cars" and "bed"for bb (can u believe it tat a "pram/car" can cost upto SGD$799 and a "baby cot/bed" can cost SGD$1,899! wow!.. we also gone to library to borrow some nursery rhymes book (english n mandarin).. will read more of these n maybe will slip in some easy to read motivational books also uh, "Who Moved My Cheese?, "Fish!", "Poor Dad, Rich Dad"... :P well, a week plus more we will be going for the detailed scan, we should b able to tell if bb is confirmed a boy or girl, we can then start lookin at how to decorate the bb's room n also clothes to buy, cant wait. am excited! as for us, weekends nowadays r like spending time restin cos wifey startin to get tired out easily.. but one thing good her appetite is back, she eats non stop! HA! her tummy can now see is protruding liao n growing by the day.. in fact only yesterday, she could feel bb turnin inside her tummy.. :) so interesting, cos i heard u can only feel tat 6th month onwards.. looks like bb is goin to b very active.. :) as for myself, the huntin for somethin new to do was great last week, a Japanese company has just set up an office in Singapore funded by govt., n they need people to run the business here, v good session i had w the CEO n look forward to hopefully seal it tis week. The main thing is tis job is v cool n i believe the business growth can fly.. told the CEO, at times work being work, its not all about pay, but believe n passion in the service/product potential and business growth itself is v important! pray pray for me hor for those readin tis blog.. k, when i get tis job which i believe should b quite likely, will open champagne cos its very rare to being able to do something tat u r so passionate about n yet being paid well.. :)
