Squished!

Friday, April 30th, 2004

Help! Am being squished!
Something’s happening to my comfy watery home. Over the past couple of days, the walls would infrequently squish me for about a minute or so. It isn’t uncomfortable, but it sure feels strange. I don’t think mama likes the sensation; I can hear her blow & breathe in a very strange manner. [...]

The Grands

Grandpa and grandma are here!
They arrived this afternoon and will be staying with mama and papa until I am born. So nice to have another set of adults to love me, take care of me, and attend to me! They brought pressies and ang pows from relatives in Singapore, but I am not allowed to [...]

Ready, set… Buzz!

Whew! I am taking a break… burrowing into position to be born is hard work!
Earlier this week, I decided that it is time for me to get into position, so I got my head wedged in the right place in mama’s body. It wasn’t easy, but I did it, little by little. My head is [...]

I love Papa

Papa is home! Yippee!
Papa came home last evening. Mama and I couldn’t wait for papa to come through the front door quickly enough before we pounced on him! He is tanned from spending the past few days wandering about sunny San Diego. He is not a big fan of pancakes for the time being; the [...]

Hooray!

Papa is coming home today! Yay!
Even now, papa is at the San Diego airport to catch his flight home. He has had a fruitful week at the conference; the presentations went well and someone was so impressed that he offered papa and his co-presenters jobs! Wow… unfortunately, papa has to return home to Singapore to [...]

Where’s Papa?

Wednesday, April 14th, 2004

I miss papa. Mama tells me that he is away at a conference in San Diego this week. Papa has two papers to present there. He will be home on Friday evening; I can’t wait to hear his voice again. Papa has been calling mama and telling her about what he has done and seen. [...]

Thumpity-thump-thump

Mama, papa, and I had an appointment with aunty Liz yesterday. I wondered why we are seeing her again so soon after last week’s visit and papa explained that because I am about to pop out of mama in a few weeks’ time, aunty Liz just wants to make sure that everything is going well [...]

Yay… WIC!

Monday, April 5th, 2004

Today I visited WIC which is an organization for Women, Infants, and Children. That means mama, me when I get bigger, and me again when I am bigger-er!
There was no mention of papas in WIC but I snuck papa in anyway. I don’t think papa liked wearing the polka-dotted miniskirt as a disguise though… just [...]

Can I have some more?

Chocolate cake… is… yummy…
The ladies at the church that mama goes to gave mama and aunty Yolande a joint baby shower yesterday. There was a delicious brunch with my favourite strawberries. Mama took a picture of the very nice cake that one of the ladies made; it had my name and Sarah’s (that’s aunty [...]
