i was getting quite concerned that i was getting sluggish and tired easily recently and decided to do a test - pretty fun game to test your reaction. here
and indeed, i need to perk up.
i really don't understand why. perhaps because i get up typically 3 times a night!

birhday upcoming
my birthday is coming in a few months. and i realised that the things i want most this year are all intangible.
definitely - 1) a healthy baby 2) a healthier husband 3) a healthier me 4) that my home remains safe and sound 5) healthy dogs
for all there is in the world, these are the only things i want this year. because after i started working and earning my own keep, there's nothing in material that i cannot have so now, material has no meaning on me. (except my car - i must keep my car)
:p

letting go...
i really like this post here by a really gd writer with a simple but nice blog.
she talks about her son and how about after being a mother for years to a little boy, she is learning to let him grow up.
i have to learn too, to apply to my little sister.
all i can say now is that i had a full day hanging out with her - the first time in so many years and i realised i got to know her a little but more today. it is also so tiring. she has so much energy!
we were at anchorvale swimming pool - so cool that it has an indoor swimming pool, a big big one. and many slides and a great water playground for children, i got a feeling it's going to be our family hangout place next time :)
swimming pool is not a best place to be when you are hoping to have a baby because not only do people kick you in the pool, there are babies EVERYWHERE. and i ache for one.
i have switched my daily milo to ammum. yummy. not that it will do any miracle but it's full of goodness for the developing baby and very good to have when you are trying.
btw, if you need folic acid, do buy them from NTUC healthcare instead of guardian because for the exact same thing, the price difference is soooo great. NTUC healthcare sells 100 pills for $2.50 and guardian sells 30 pills for $4.50 and when i open them up, it's the same!!!!!

baby ready
in the past few months, we have been doing a lot of stuff to get ourselves baby ready.
there were plenty of books. though i still haven't been hardworking on the food bit, i cook 3 meals a day at home but i pretty much just cook whatever we like. eg. today we cooked a nice hamburger with double cheese and grilled potato and onions with cream of cauliflower for dinner.
there were a bit of walking in kiddypalacce to know how much things cost and to get the cute feel.
families passed us a lot of baby stuff.
now, i haven't been a very patience person my whole life. so although i know not to hurry things along, i cannot help but hope to be more hardworking in the this area so we can have a baby fast. after all, i am putting my career on hold! hahaha.
let's have lots of shagging. serious. though the husband is still pretty tired, all the time, from work. unfortunately, i can't do it alone.

getting pregnant stress
i got married at a relatively very young age of 22 at sg's standard, not only a ROM but a full Chinese wedding. so imagine the amount of "any good news" question asked at every family gathering?
people tend to assume that when you get marry young, you should get pregnant in a click. like effortless.
not that we had been trying hard, in fact, we had been trying not to get pregnant the past 2 years as we felt we were not ready then. even then, it was natural family planning.
so now that we are trying, i suddenly have a fear. that maybe, we are one of those couples in agony months after months? what if it never happen? sometimes i read of some women's pain when month after month, the pregnancy test kit only show a single line. like this lady's experience.
the interesting thing is, people seems to get pregnant when they dont't want to get. i see couples having children immediately after the wedding and saying that it was not what they planned but God gave the child to them.
so what's God's plan for us?
We were thinking of going away for a nice holiday to try and get things going.
I am trying to get relax, but i have been having very poor sleep recently, possibly over planning for my new website and studio.
i need to relax!
o ya, and i read a really funny post about a gynae trying to get pregnant - here
it's funny because she did exactly what i thought of doing but just that i have no means to access a microscope!

ariel
i found out that the name 'ariel' means lioness of God. hurray, i love that. :)
anyway, since i left the safety net of a hospital work environment and all that attractive maternity benefits, i have bought insurance to protect myself. realised now that while it covers all the other stuff, it doesn't cover maternity. so that means all that $$ got to come from ourselves.
well well, i'm still happier to be so free and my own boss. :)
