In anticipation of the new arrival, the last couple of days we have been clearing and sorting stuff at home, call it the nesting phase.
My purple room is a mess, Nick moved the computer desk out and with no shelves etc, all my documents and books are lying on the floor. We finally converted Nat's cot to a toddler bed, she's quite pleased with it. I had bought her a contoured head pillow as well and she's always requesting for 'new pillow' now when she's trying to fall asleep.
After waiting 2 years, I am also pleased to say that we finally, finally have a proper wardrobe in Nat's room, after putting up with two $99 Carrefour ones since we moved in. Thanks to a recommendation from Jane, our new 8ft cupboard didn't burn too large a hole in the pocket. I had thought we chose a different laminate (i.e. a large chamomile flower, white on white) but somehow we ended up with something that looks like a Hawaiian print shirt. Guess the drawing was not to scale, Nick hates it but for a girly kids' room, I suppose it's alright.
Last evening I met up with the SingTel alumni for dinner and drinks at Timbre. It had taken us ages to arrange, postponed since CNY. Since I stayed seated most of the time, no one could really see the huge tummy but once they came closer, they were amazed at how big it was!
Had lunch with Jane and Rena today as part of advance birthday celebrations for Rena. Never know when I'm going to pop so had to do it early. We had Sushi Tei at Raffles City, in a cozy, tasseled cubicle. Food was alright, liked the nama chocolate ice cream, had 2 rounds of those!
After lunch me and Rena compared baby bumps, hers is wider, mine is pointier.
BTW, meet Dorothy - Nat's pet fish named after Elmo's goldfish. She's survived more than a week with us, originally came with 14 others, who were meant to be arowana fish food but Nick thought he was doing them a favour by buying them...only for the 14 to die within the first 2 days! Our little Dorothy's a survivor!
