lam’s take

Much has caught up with me apart from the pregnancy these past months.  I really wish I had the spare time to do things like this on the side, but end of the day, it’s consoling to know I had my priorities set straight.

I have just sat for a qualifying exam.  Actually, ‘re-sit’ is the word, as I didn’t quite make it the first time a few months back.  Hopefully, I had done better this time around, as it would not only bring me back on track with my career, but also help our family with our growing financial needs.  Now that that’s out of the way, we could revert our attention again to preparing for the advent of parenthood.

The baby preparation had been going slow at the start since I wanted to be more focused with the review and all.   But just as I was fearing I was running out of time to get everything I think we need before the bub’s arrival, hand-me-down clothes, furniture, and accessories started pouring in.  Receiving all these has now actually put in more time in our hands for a stress-free (or less stress?) wait.  How lucky!

My family overseas have been ranting about the lack of evidential photos of my pregnancy.  Hehehe.  I had envisioned before that with all the excitement of this first bub, I’d be wrapped up in all those fetishes about immortalising the moments on an obsessive-compulsive kind of way.  Sadly, laziness had been part of the cravings, emotional rollercoasters, restlessness, and what-have-you’s of pregnancy. But now, with the exam finally behind us, I think I had better start making up for all the missed chances. 

Catch you soon.
