While most people — including myself — have been conditioned (by television) to believe that all deliveries are done on the bed with legs propped up and the Doctor’s head between her thighs, there are certainly more ways than this to bring new life to this world. I was reading a discussion from the UK [...]
My Birth Plan, pt 1 – The Draft.
4 Jan 2010What is a birth plan? A birth plan is a way of communicating with the nurses, nurse midwives and doctors who care for you in labour. It tells them about the kind of labour you would like to have, what you want to happen and what you definitely want to avoid. Find Out More I [...]
Parentcraft – 1 of 3.
3 Jan 2010Besides having a gastronomical fulfillment yesterday morning, we attended the 1st session of Parentcraft at Gleneagles in the afternoon. I don’t want to be too quick to judge, but that session was a big disappointment. The session was divided into 4 parts, with a 20 minute tea break in between. Don’t be surprised when you’re [...]
Nursery Checklist, pt 4 – 95% Complete.
30 Dec 2009We are almost there. And how much have we spent so far? I dare not total it up, for fear of a heart attack. But as you can guessed, there are at least a few Karrots involved. Besides completing the last few items on the checklist — except the asterisk *hints to friends* — we [...]

Baby Wearing, pt 2 – The Purchase.
19 Nov 2009I must confess that I am guilty this time. Because I only did my research yesterday morning but I’ve already made the purchase the night before *blush* But you cannot blame me ok. Just look at the Ringgits I’ve saved and it is brand new! I simply couldn’t resist the temptation and the clock was [...]
Baby Wearing, pt 1 – The Research.
18 Nov 2009Baby wearing is one of the oldest traditions used by parents around the world. Most of us would probably be familiar with the image of a mother with a sarong-clad baby around her front or back doing her daily chores. Perhaps you too were amongst those babies? *wink* Why would I want to Wear my [...]
Breast Pumps, pt 2 – The Purchase.
17 Nov 2009Last Friday I thought we struck Gold when we bought the Medela Harmony at Fabulous Mom’s Relocation Sale. They made an error of the sale price on their website — instead of RM228.65, it was going for RM211.65. So we saved an extra RM17 and that was indeed a steal deal! *squeal* Unfortunately, it was [...]
