Malaysian Wife, Australian Life

I think 99% of first time parents would not have any preference if their newborn will be a boy or a girl. Surely for your first child, it really doesnt matter as long as it's all healthy & happy and everything's going on smoothly. Right? Well, not quite for us. Michael wants a girl. Not that he would leave me or throw tanties if we have a boy but he's really hoping for a girl. This is for the simplest and silliest reason that we've actually got a name for a girl picked out and have NOTHING at all for a boy. Michael wanted this name even way before we were married. I wasn't on board at first cos i thot it's a pretty simple and common name but i was deeply in love see, so it didnt really matter lah at the time. I did tell him it'd be open to discussion after we're married and secretly thot maybe i could change his mind later on. But after we got married, we started talking about it more and more and after a while it sorta kinda grew on me and i r...

Im still roaring at nite. But i think im not as bad cos Michael's not on the couch anymore. Either that or he's jz sucking it up to jaga my extra sensitive hati. I stopped using ASONOR after only 3 nights because the 3rd nite, i tried squirting it till it reaches my throat and ended up spewing. After that, it was such a struggle so i thot i should wait till my 'night' sickness is gone. I checked with Jess, the Laidler's masseuse & naturopath and she suggested i try and stay off dairy for a bit. So im doing that for a week and if that doesnt work then i'm back on ASONOR and other stuff recommended. So far, according to reliable sources, i think my snoring's getting less loud and some nights i was quiet. But i miss my milk in my milo and snacking on cheese. In the Skinny Bitch book, it also recommended pregnant women to stay off dairy. Actually, it recommended us to stay off LOADS of things cos it was written by two strict vegan models. So no meat, no ...

'Hi. My name is Drooly McRoary. Im a snorer.' (background at Snorer Anonymous, 'Hi Drooly') Yes lah, I snore. Lately, apparently it's been getting worse & worse. To the point that we (Michael & I) even had a mini fight about it. I know that i snore but i didnt think i was that bad and it's not that i snore everynite. I thot it only happen when i get really really tired. I've been pretty lucky that all my previous roommates that were 'privileged' to share a room with me, didn't really have any problems with my snoring. Normally they'd give me a nudge or push and the snoring would stop. Most times, they were pretty deep sleepers (esp my sister Wa) themselves that the snoring never really bothered them. I do sometimes cringe if i have to share a room with someone for the first time. But i'd always warn them that i snore and to nudge me if it bothered them. But so far, no one's been complaining. Or maybe they're jz being...

We had a very quiet NYE. I came home from work soo tired hoping that we didnt hafta go anywhere and was i glad that we didnt! I was sent straight to the bathroom where a warm salt bath was waiting for me with lil candles, a glass of ribena and a bowl of M & M's. I enjoyed my bath while Michael cooked dinner - homemade burgers & fries! We then watched the NYE specials on TV and waited for the fireworks. Of course, Michael had to wake me up at 12 for it. Then we went to bed. We're so getting old. I had a 4-day long weekend and we didnt do anything. I did some laundry but that's about it. It's been getting hot these days and just didnt feel like doing anything and going anywhere. Also, Michael's been feeling a bit sick as well. Few days before that he was playing too much tennis & golf in the hot sun so he's been feeling crooked. So, i took care of him day time and he took care of me nite time when my morning sickness comes. Just when i thot my MS...
