Of mummies and tummies

We had two cake-cutting sessions over the weekend to celebrate Mother's Day - one with Chee Meng's aunt (his defacto 'mother' as she took care of him when he was young) and the other with my own mummy of course. In fact, both Chee Meng and myself had been so overwhelmed by Mother's Day, coz i was preoccupied with asking for a mother-to-be gift from daddy-to-be! So much so that we both forgot that 11 May was our wedding aniversary! Oops! People have been saying that the relationship will take a back seat when the baby arrives ... well, i hope our absent-mindedness this year is just an extraordinary lapse and won't repeat itself next year!

Well, here are some pictures of the cake-cutting sessions:)

With my own lovely mummy:)

Some of you, especially Aunt Lee Chin, have also been asking me if my tummy is big etc. Actually, i can feel the weight of bebe, especially when i try to get out of bed. I'm about 23 weeks now and my maternity jeans are feeling just right now (they used to be quite loose..) So, here's a photo of my tummy!


My tummy at 23 weeks:)

But what really excite Chee Meng and myself are the little somersaults that bebe attempts, and it has been more frequent and more apparent recently. I love it when Chee Meng places his hands on my tummy, talks to Bebe and Bebe reciprocates - but i wonder if Bebe is protesting against the pressure from Daddy's hands or happy to hear Daddy's voice?! Well, i think it's the latter! Now the challenge is to get Daddy to sing some nursery rhymes to Bebe:)
