BFF or best of friends..or our buddies are one who:

2. Supports our dreams 
3. Give a push or join our crazy ideas to make it a reality
4. Lend a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on without fear of spilling the beans
5. Celebrates all the triumph, success and special days with us however insignificant it may be to others
6. Someone we misses yet distance will not make the relationship apart 
7. Add on your feelings or definition of your BFF! :)

Thank God I have my BFFsss during my ups n downs..bless their souls and spirits!

What is their reaction?

Hi folks!

When my kids found out that they are going to have another sibling, their reaction was:

At first.....

KY: " Mommy, why do you want to have another baby? Wouldn't I be very tired?
SE: Hug me, didn't say anything. He merely pat on my back after my vomitting trips to the toilet.


Now....
KY thought of a few girl and boy names for the baby.
SE would pat on my tummy every now and then..

Next......
We'll see when the baby arrive when if they happened to followed me to the next ultrascan. They are pretty excited to watch the 3D movement of their sibling...

How does your kids react when they found out of your good news?

When to tell and what is the pros?

Hi folks!

When I found out of my good news, I am well aware of the taboo not to reveal the news so soon ...at least until the first trimester or when it is more stable.

However trying those times may be....however much I wished to share with some of my closest friends or siblings to get their support and listening ear...I kept mum about it ...it was not easy...

The pros of informing early are:
  1. You felt better saying No at some of the events, tasks assigned to you as the other party understood why.
  2. You felt easier to ask for assistance (at least it is for me..)
  3. You get the support and care when you needed most (especially for those suffering from severe morning sickness or they called it hyperemesis graviduram suffered by Princess Kate Middleton now too. Hope she gets better soon!)
  4. You get the support and understanding from your bosses when you need to take medical leave, etc.
  5. It is therapeutic for women to share things out.
So yes, thanks for those who gave me your best wishes, listening ears and much needed support! I truly needs it...

Pray my vomitting disappear soon...burrpp....excuse me...

Learning to receive with grace

Hi folks!

The story began weeks ago, during a gathering with a family friend who I haven't seen for 8 years. 

We had a gathering with her and had the joy of meeting her son, Sebby..a cute, chubby vegetarian toddler whom I loved to bits.

So huggable and lovable boy. As I played with him that night, two aunties asked me on different occasions whether we are planning to have another one. My standard answer is," we are satisfied with two. Furthermore, I have given away ALL my baby and maternity stuff!!!"...Then one added, that is not an issue...

The next day, as I suddenly realized that my menstrual cycle was late by a week. I have been quite busy of late to notice it. But since it ever late thrice- twice at each of the two pregnancies, and once after dengue recovery, I went to pharmacy to get the test kit..I bought twin pack to be on safe side.

First one tested the next morning, I accidentally used the wrong side, no signs..threw it away and tried the other one..within a minute or so..results was out.... I walked to the room and break the news to equally surprised hubby...

And the story continues of the emotional and physical roller-coaster which we have went through... Thanks for the blessings and trust on us God, believing we could love one more ...

To be continued...

Happenings of late- Nov 2012

Hi folks!

There are smooth ride and rough walk along the path in the journey of life. From now onwards, I like to start a ritual of sharing good news daily as part of nurturing the gratitude in me daily.

Here's one for today. Even though I have not been too well for the past one month(will share more on this later). I managed to board the plane for a pre-booked & pre-planned trip after 8 years of long wait(glad didn't have to forgo the trip as did to the last two pre-planned trip!). *skipping and praying in joy* Thanks to kind-hearted souls...

Will share more about my trip soon. Meanwhile pls. do your act of kindness by joining this contest and charity hosted at my blog: http://www.secondtimeparenthood.net/2012/11/contest-and-charity-share-softness.html?m=1
