baby diaries: love

It’s past one and I know I should already be off to bed I could just not stop looking at you while you sleep. I thought I’d only be loosing sleep like this – gazing at you – when you’re in your infancy. But it has continued well into your toddlerhood, and probably well into your adulthood as long as we live under the same roof.

It’s inexplicable joy when you’ve met and married the man/woman you’ve been dreaming of since you were a kid. But having your own baby is a whole lot different experience that most of times, it could make a 180degrees change in you. When I was single (and some months during our married life) I wasn’t working overtime, weekends were mostly spent only on sleeping and movies and sleeping. Having a baby, there are times you find yourself about to ask, “sleep? What word is that?” .

Still Anak, the joy you bring to Daddy and Mommy and the myriad of emotions (most prominent of which is worry about your well being) and ideas you spark within us is incomparable.

From Mom and Dad, thank you. Grow up well.

turning 35

Yesterday, I was mulling over the fact that I’m gonna be a year older today Like a blossoming flower, I felt my face go radiant as my heart exalts with gratitude. God has been very good to me. So many things to be thankful for and to look forward to.

Truth be told, of course it’s not all bed of roses. There are difficulties I’ve faced and are still facing. But I believe, and claim, that all things work for the good. And for that, I’m excited and looking forward to it.

Happy birthday to me! 😀

Dear Yui,
Nothing could be more beautiful than seeing your eyes filled with happiness and knowledge that you are loved whilst shrieking fits of giggles and laughter. Do keep in mind that always, Daddy and Mommy love you. You are beautiful, inside and out. Grow up well.

Love,
Daddy and Mommy

Goodbye, Hello

And just like that, it’s been a month already since we moved to our new house! Still not quite settled but we’re loving the place even more, by the day. There are some hitches to adjust to, think long waiting list at the neighbourhood (excellent) daycare hence we have to still go to previous
daycare. Yet even when it’s hectic, it has it’s advantages, think learning to be right on time (and I’m talking about a mere minute, singular!) to catch the bus. Yes, finally a (pretty) place to call our own! Thankful, grateful.

But that doesn’t mean to say we didn’t miss our old place. The new one is by far more beautiful; yet the old one also has its charm topping off the good memories we had there. We know we’ll miss it so in that we were emotional during our last visit there for the house inspection.

More than four years ago, Hubs and I fell in love with this place the first time we saw it.

Thank you Soreado!

By the window

Unbelievable. It’s been more than a month since my last post! Where have all the days gone to? Been pretty hectic (but exciting!) lately.

We can’t have this yet at this time, but it would be lovely to have this in Yui’s room where she can relax with a book.
