Baby Little Twinkle #1 - Saying Hello at Week 11

Haven't been blogging for some time esp since my pregnancy...

For a first time mum, it hasn't been an easy learning journey - to really get used to having a baby and knowing the roles of a mummy... From Baby N's 4th week onwards, doctor diagnosed her with colic (stomach wind), reflux and constipation. And the colic attack only occured at night (rather peculiar), so she tends to be fussy at night. I used to carry her and walk around the house at night, when everyone else is sleeping. At one time, doc advise her feeding to be every 2.5 hrs, which was extremely tiring because she doesn't always fall back to sleep after feeding. And on top of that, I have to use the pump for breastmilk. That was really a tiring period. But I'm really glad that i managed to survive the first 2 months, many thanks to family and close friends for their support. :p

Here's our adorable baby N (aka Little Twinkle) saying hello :) Happy to say that she managed to sleep through the night now, and only wakes up at around 4-5 plus for milk. Hooray!

Wedding #6 - Pre-Wedding Photo Teaser

We just finished our pre-wedding photos selection last week!

hehe... happy with the outcome!

Here's the teaser :)

I must admit I was quite reluctant to have the pre-wedding photoshoot initially,

(p.s: 'Mr Nice Guy' said this is an understatement. I was ULTRA reluctant. Haha)

concluding it was a waste of time and money.

Few thousands dollar spent on a wedding album which will eventually collect dust on my bookshelf.

That was my most inner truthful thought...

 even up to the day of photoshoot. Haha...

In fact, I was SUPER grouchy and 'black-faced' on the day of photoshoot.

On hindsight, I'm now glad that 'Mr Nice Guy' insisted on having the shoot.

Haha.. ladies do change their mind fast. ;p

It's actually an interesting experience.

And very memorable too!

It's our first time taking shoot with horse too! 

And the horse was very charming, but kind of more sulky than I was. Haha 

I'm sure we will still have nice memories about this shoot when we are old. :)

  

So... Ladies who have the same thinking like mine, do go for the pre-wedding shoot.

You won't regret it, it's a memorable experience I promise. :)

And one proud thing is...

We did not succumb to the sales talk of topping up money to buy the ultra expensive photos.

Yipee...

I felt sorry for the salesgirl though...

She really tried her very best to ask us to buy more photos.

Wedding #4 - We heart firefighter!

This is one of the photos we've received from a recent trial studio photoshoot.

Finally posted! :) After promising a few friends that i would post very soon... Hee.. Sorry!

As this was our first studio photoshoot, we did not know what to expect and left all the decisions to the image consultant (On a side note, he's pretty good looking. ;p). And he said "I have a GREAT image for both of you!". Next thing we know, he came with 2 fire fighter uniforms (Yes, they provided all the costumes even shoes). This was rather refreshing to both of us i would say. Thought he would dress us up as princess and prince or those lifestyle shots.

 The photographer uncle was very professional and endearing too! He would tell us what to do and was very encouraging such as "Yes yes, this is what i want... Veryyy good!" etc. Many fun and laughter during the shoot. No stress at all which was simply amazing!

Overall, we felt...

Firefighter is an extremmmely exciting job! *blush* :)
