He is 2
I discovered you in August 2008. I was filled with happiness & anxiety. Happy as I have a new life growing in my womb. Anxiety because it was barely a month that I started on a new job.
I shared the good news with your daddy and he appeared as nonchalantly as he ever could. Heartbreak was the only word I could use as that was the least expected response from him.
As usual, I just turn into a blacked face mute. :)
Shortly he asked me to get it confirm at a clinic, not even want to volunteer to accompany me.
I showed the doctor the test kit and he said the 2 lines are very clear & precise. :D
Gave me some advice and vitamins and off I go in search of my gynae.
But daddy did changed, helped me with housework as I am always so tired for no reason. Sleeping become my hobby. Lazing around and eating non-stop is my daily activity.
First few months were not easy as I am spotting and the fear of losing you was so great that I didn't know what to do (other than taking the painful hormones jabs) but to talk to you and touching my big round tummy. Hoping you will be a safe & sound in there.
5th month of pregnancy was when we discovered that you can't wear pink!! From then on, I am constantly hopping that the gynae did not made any mistake on this as I am shouldering big pressure from family members in regards of your gender.
9th month of pregnancy gone and out you come! That was the most wonderful & touching moment in my last 29 years on earth. I was very relieve to see you arrived sound & kicking. The pain and wait you given me was a great lesson learnt as now I had learnt to treasure your grandma alot alot more.
This also marked the start of me turning into a milking cow and my sleep-deprived days.
With you around, time is always so little. Mummy is forever tired (again) and there's no 'me' time. All I am faced with was Baby Lucas, feeding, diaper changing, milk pumping, Baby Lucas, feeding, diaper changing, milk pumping and it went on for the next 3-4 months. I turned into a witch and your Daddy saw the great change in me as he was always being picked on. But that did not prompt him to pick up the skills of helping me to change your diaper or feed you.
From the day you are born till now, he changed & feed you for not more than 10 times :)
Taking pictures of you become my hobby and there are endless photos of you in the memory card. But very sadly, the soft copy photos of your 1st year are all gone due to external hard disk crashed. Blame it on me and the corrupted card.
You learnt to roll over by your 5th month. That's when we were all so thrilled & excited. Soon you even learnt to rock your little bum and amused your Daddy greatly.
9th month was when you learnt to crawl and by 10th month you were able to sit up on your own.
Before you learnt to walk, you actually started you baby language with makes everyone laughed & teared.
1 year old birthday bash was the biggest celebration that I had ever done. From planning, deciding the theme, getting the decoration and food, I put into 101% effort. It went on great but sadly not much photos taken with friends & relatives!
15th month came and you learnt to walk. At that point in time, we were so glad because that would meant no need to carry you on our hands. But we are greatly wrong.
You turn into a very active boy who wants to run non stop and with no sense of direction & without any boundaries
Chasing become our activity as you are always running away from us.
18th month you learnt to hum & sing with your highest pitch and the softest tone. You dance to music whenever you hear them and clap your hands excitedly. You also learnt to pick up our mobile phone & pretend to be talking to someone over the other end.
22nd month was when I discovered that you love to play Lego. You know how to stack them high up into a tower. Though they don't represent any buildings or animals, but to me they are the most beautiful creation that I ever seen.
Today is the day you turn 2.
You had learnt many things and there are alot more for you to discover down the road.
With you in my life, I have lesser energy, freedom, money & time to do things that I use to indulge (like KTV, movies & shopping with girlfriends/sisters).
However, in exchange I have a wonderful, fun-loving boy wanting to be hug and kiss everyday and can't go to bed without me by your side (*grin*). What more can I ask for.
"Daddy & Mummy would like to wish you good health and stay happy & cheerful forever. May you be blessed & loved by everyone.
Happy Birthday Sweetheart"

At some point.....
You just think life SUCKS!! Sucks a big time...
There are problems waiting to be resolve and yet actions are not taken despite giving all suggestions & support.
Old problems still hanging around and new problems arises.. finance, living habits, childcare..career...and the list goes on.
At some point, it just makes one feeling so demoralised and feel like leaving everything behind..
At some point, it makes one wonder if you are a life partner or just a co-tenant.
At some point, it makes one wonder if the decision previously made was correct.
At some point, it makes one think if we should make a BIG decision to correct the wrong one previously made!!

Updates on Lucas Growth
As mentioned in my previous post, we were pretty concerned if Lucas is growing fast enough.
So we brought him to the Pediatrician for a check up and also to get some advice on his feeding.
The doctor did some plotthing on the growth chart found on the health booklet. The conclusion is, Lucas is indeed one small baby.
First of all, his birth weight is already below average. Next, both me & hubby are not of avergae height either. So more or less, Lucas height & weight will be much affect.
However, the doctor did mentioned that though small, Lucas is actually growing consistently, which is a good sign. She also recommend us to slowly increase his food & milk intake to compensate for the energy loss given that he is an active kid at this stage.
I am trying my best to make him grow bigger. If he's active & happy.. well I guess we should be fine :)

Here are some dishes that I made for Lucas.. you know how boring it can get with all the porridge & rice with steam fish everyday... So during weekends I make it a point to make something nice for him...
