Written sometimes 2 years ago. -------- Tonight my sister shared a poem that she wrote. It was so pretty at the beginning. Then as I read on, I realized that the poem is about me. Words brought memories: of when she were little and I played Mom all the time at her school. When she … Continue reading How I Abandoned My Little Sister

Growing Pain
Monday. Well, technically Tuesday. It's 12:10am and I can hear her snoring gently next to me. Once in a while, she's let out a little whimper. She had a mild fever today. Not sure if she's teething or is getting sick from this bi-polar weather we've been having but she had been clingy since she … Continue reading Growing Pain
Sunday Funday with Mommy & Daddy
these pics were taken back on Jan 28th but I never published them. These are way too precious since London was only 2 months then.
3.5 months + counting
Another 2am post as I watch you sleep. It is official. I can't do any work during the day anymore and I'm not even mad about it. So I resort to working late at night when you are fast asleep. Seems like 11:30pm-1:45 is the best time to work if I want to be uninterrupted. … Continue reading 3.5 months + counting
2AM
2AM: Watching you sleep and I am so in love. Lil' brat, you can't sleep without Mama being right next to you. How can you be such a sensitive sleeper? Some times I really think you have super sensors on your back because as soon as I put you down, your eyes would open and … Continue reading 2AM
Day 3 with London
Time: 4:30pm. Location: At the hospital still. Dead this morning after Henry and I took turn to stay up with London last night while she went under the bili-light to try to decrease her jaundice level.

First Game with London
I just spent the last 30 mins playing a game with London. I woke up at 1:45 to go pee and drink some water. Then I sensed her kick. Just for fun, I pushed back on my stomach at the same spot where she kicked just to see if she would notice. Next thing you … Continue reading First Game with London

A Spontaneous Sunset Photoshoot at Week 26
Last Thursday, on the way home after meeting with a potential client at Starbucks to discuss ideas for her graduation photoshoot, I was struck by another one of those blissful moments in the car. The air was warm. The sun was soft. The weather was cooler unlike the hot scorching temperature we have had in … Continue reading A Spontaneous Sunset Photoshoot at Week 26
Baby Kicks
Henry and I are such dorks. Last night, I was supposed to be productive and finish editing a wedding gallery while he was supposed to get ready for bed (since he works at 4am each morning). At 9pm while sitting in front of the computer, I had this brilliant idea to shine a flash light … Continue reading Baby Kicks
“Dear London”: A letter to my unborn baby
Dear London, Mommy and Daddy have never been happier and it is all because of you. Since day 1, you've been so good to Mommy. No morning sickness. No excessive fatigue. And now I just received news from the lab that I don't have gestation diabetes neither. Thank you for being so good to Mommy. … Continue reading “Dear London”: A letter to my unborn baby

I was browsing on Instagram the whole time. 😏😏 So I got up and started editing. Then the prettiest light came through the window pane. Check out Jixer's lil' … Continue reading Pretty Morning Light
