Final countdown...

Aaaarggghhhhh......less than 1 week to go... Simon and I are both excited... But I am the nervous one of course.. His daily sentence to me is "is the BB coming out now ???" then I will reply ... "not yet!!" >_<"

A bit of summary after I started my maternity leave...
Had a nice and funny dinner with Zvina, Andy, Val, Kitty and Eunice...thanks for the presents :)


The bottom two photos are proudly handmade by me2design.. My colleague at work deliberately made it for BB and me.. Soooo gorgeous .. Thanks Heidi :)

On the 5th Dec, sister in law Karen organized a wonderful baby shower for me... Usually I am the organizing stuff but being the mother to be.. I am so lucky to do "nothing" and enjoy the yummy high tea with my dear friends.. and of course I have to say Thank you for all the presents for BB.... Photos are posted on FB...



More presents for BB.... Left hand corner is all the way from UK.. My dearest Mao Darn... I wish I was able to go back HK and spend more quality time with her and Man... The right hand corner is from Jenny and Tony... Jenny was back in Brissy for 1 week.. Had a lovely home style Korean BBQ... Left bottom corner is from lovely Florence and Leo ...花膠....very precious present after birth.. And last photos are maternity clothes from Karen... Loved them.. She picked for my maternity shots later...Thanks everyone :)


Just for fun.. asked Simon to take a 360 degree photo shot of how I look... Doctor said I gained approximate 7-8kg throughout the whole pregnancy...which she is very happy about it...


On 7th Dec...mum arrival !!!
Very Delicious and "FULL" meal everyday!!!!


And of course .. The main dish cooked by Mum that I would need to eat after giving birth... "Ginger Vinegar Egg Pork Leg"...one of the Chinese tradition :)


Also.. More presents from HK family and friends... :)


Thank you to 2gor 2so for the special France bib.... Gorgeous baby toys and blanket from Maggie (2nd sister) and different baby feeding sets from auntie Tracy and god brother David, very very soft blanket from auntie Cecilia... Loved them ALL!!!


Shopping at Reject shop one day.. Came across these cutest wall stickers ever (and not expensive)... Had to buy and stick it in the room ... Aren't they gorgeous... Especially the dinosaurs ... Loved it!!!


What else have I been doing???
Drinking steamed milk at coffee shops with 2 mums... Grocery shoppings at Inala...making this year's Christmas cards which I have finally finished sending them off... And admiring both our swollen feet after walking / shopping for the whole day :p left is me, right is Simon's...


Last thing to finish off this blog is my favorite 39 weeks pregnancy shots .. Two words "loved it".. Thanks to Karen ... again.. She actually took one week leave to standby at home this week just in case I need to give birth suddenly ... She is just too adorable :) More photos on FB...




Ok... Time to have a nap.... Simon will inform everyone once the baby pops out !!! Can't wait .. Can't wait...
