Favourite game

My current "favourite" game is Tug of War. Whenever Aiden falls asleep in the middle of his feed, I will have to pull out the bottle (teat) from his mouth. Almost immediately, he will pull the teat back into his mouth to suckle again. In out, in out.

Oh I believe this is just the start of many games we will play together...

5 years and counting!!

Happy anniversary to my dearest hubby!!

5 years ago, we celebrated our love in front of my friends and relatives. Today, we celebrate our precious baby's full month!

Thank you for being such a wonderful husband all these years. And most importantly, for being a great father too! Thank you for taking such great care of me and baby these past few weeks, for running around to settle all the logistics, for being my emotional support and mostly, for being such a hands-on daddy!! Not many dads will bathe the baby, change their diaper, pat and carry them to sleep and feed them. But you've done it all! Simply because you want to do it and I love you even more for it!

I can't wait to spend many many more years with you and our son! Happy Happy Anniversary!

Do not disturb

There is massive drilling going on in one of the units above us. The type where we need to raise our voices if we want to talk to each other.

Somehow Aiden is able to sleep through all the noise. Though he was obviously not totally immune to it...

To carry or not to carry

It's hard to describe that feeling....

When I see my son lying in his cot quietly and awake, I feel so bad for him. So "poor thing" being left on his own, not doing anything, no one entertaining him. But I know I must not pick him up, for it is good to let him entertain himself, that I should not spoil him by carrying him all the time.

Just the start of many internal struggles that we parents have to face I suppose?

First Bath

Tried my hand at bathing Aiden today. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I think the key is to remain calm even if he is screaming. And to do things one step at a time.

It was especially memorable for me since he peed on me just minutes after we started the bath. Oh well... It was bound to happen some time right?

Our precious miracle

After a long journey, our little precious miracle has been born!

Our son, Aiden Lim, was born on 26 April at 459pm. Weighing in at 3.22kg and measuring 51cm in length, we are truly thankful for this healthy little baby!!

No doubt this 4 year journey has had much more downs than ups, and as predicted in every book and prophesised by every family member and friend, all was forgotten the second the doctor put him on my chest, goo, blood and all! Our son!! How can you not forgive the wet eyes and the tears at such a poignant moment?




After being weighed and measured, Aiden was placed under the warmer, fast asleep. Less than an hour after birth, as my hubby was busy with the paperwork and I was still recuperating, I looked over and saw him lying there quietly, with both his eyes wide open :)
