Being a housewife

This is the fifth day I'm staying at home, slowly ticking off my to do list and hoping that my baby will stay in for a little longer until I am ready.
It feels quite good finally ticking the list off. At the same time, I feel that the baby could come any time and all those cleaning and preparation that I haven't done doesn't really matter in the end if the baby does come before I could finish them.
After all, there will always be cleaning to do. At least I have finished washing all the baby clothes, and the nursery is somewhat ready to go.
It is going to be yet another life changing event for both us. Year after year, it just seems to get more and more exciting. With a new member of family coming along, I know that our lives will never be the same again, it is going to be a new learning process for both of us becoming parents.
Hopefully when baby decides to come, the labour will be smooth without complications and we can be a happy family of 3 soon.

2016 New Year resolution

I finally have some time to sit down and sort my computer out. I officially started my maternity leave!
For the past few years I have been doing new year resolutions every year, this year it comes 18 days late but it's better late than never.
I would like to keep this year's resolution simple just like all other years, since I am expecting, let this year's resolution be that I can learn to be a good mother and hopefully motherhood goes smoothly for me.
Our baby is due in 4 weeks, but really he can come any time from now.
Since I started my maternity leave, I can finally do a big clean of the house and do all final preparation for our baby's birth.
Last year's resolution was to have a healthy year, I think I achieved it, I picked up a lot of sports, running, badminton, pilates, archery. However I had to stop all activities when I was hit by morning sickness. Being sick and tired all the time was really hard, thankfully it got better after 16 weeks.
Having said that, working full time plus over time all the way through pregnancy wasn't easy either, when I come home from a full day of work, it was almost impossible to do anything else, so my list of cleaning and tidying up just kept piling up, until now when I finally have some time off before the baby comes. Getting pregnant was actually also one of my secret new year's resolution last year, I didn't want to put it down on blog because I didn't want to jinx it. Thankfully we are blessed by this growing baby inside me, and hopefully we will be a family of 3 soon.
Becoming parents still seems foreign to both of us, I am excited and nervous at the same time, so many questions and why don't babies come with a manual? But at the same time, I cannot wait to see what my son looks like, is he going to look like a mini Frank? Or is he going to have more of my features? Is he going to be an easy baby or is he going to be a little rascal?
I guess that is part of being a parent, you just have to learn to adapt and I am sure however he turns out to be, we will love him unconditionally.
Baby has got a name, which will only be revealed when we meet him.
Hopefully he stays put inside mummy for a little while more, so that mummy can get all the stuff done at home. Better go and hang all the baby clothes now. Till then.
