Ever since the government announces the new baby bonus package, there seems alot more preggy mummies on the move. Joining the queues are some of my friends...in fact, 3 of them...whom will be becoming mummies and daddy over the span from Oct08 - Jan09. I am feeling happy and at the same time, excited too...because I love babies and is looking forward to play with the little ones.
First to come is baby Patrick Jr (the name is not finalised yet but since he will be a baby boy so adopt this name for the time being). Met up with JP and Patrick for dinner and oh my, JP's tummy is quite big now...approaching the last month of the 3rd trimester. P. Jr is scheduled to pop his head and sees the world on 21 Oct 08. He is a healthy and active baby who is estimated to weigh an approximated weight of 3kg on his arrival. P. Jr will be the youngest and newest member to join our yearly gathering come CNY next year...and also the only prince...since the Edmund and Verlisa had 3 little princesses to date (they are trying for a 4th child soon).
Time just passes so fast...I still remembered vividly the day I first met JP. She wasn't even Pat's girlfriend back then but just a uni friend who joined us for outings. And slowly, over time and after much teasing, they got together. Saw them through their courtship days...preparation for wedding and now...to become mummy and daddy for their very first time. So it's kinda of like we (me & hubby) are involved in a way in their lives...am really really happy for them.
We also met up with Marble (nickname) and Lisa, finally because it was hard to meet up with them. They just ROM and is looking for a flat to move in together. Happy for Lisa who got her PR and may they find their own love nest soon. Rarely had the chance to meet everyone up nowadays due to the clashing schedules...but it is nice to meet up once in a while with whoever can make it....over coffee and little snacks...age is catching up and with the current situation (pregnant mummy and what-nots), we have to avoid adrenaline pumping and loud defeaning music locations...must be child-friendly etc...keke...sooner or later we will end up "la kopi" at kpt.
