Have not been updating this blog as much as i would like. Been really busy at work and weekends seemed to pass in a flash.
We went to T3 on National Day. We needed a air conditional place for adults' comfort and a big enuf space for my gal to wander around. She's not very steady yet but she insists she's fine and refused to let us take her hand. So we figured T3 will be the answer
I must say, T3 is pretty big and spacious. Athena has a fun time walking ard and exploring things. But there are occasions that she fell. So tempted to buy a baby helmet for her. After that we headed to my FIL's place to watch the National Day's fireworks. Gorgeous!!
As mentioned, i travelled to Sydney for work last week. Boy, do i miss my gal. It's different from previous trips where i am actually relieved to have a break from her (sorry, guilty as charged). This trip, i missed her very much. Does that mean my maternal instinct is growing?? Mayb. Is it that she's cuter now? Mayb. Anyway, i am enjoying the time i have with her.
My fren sms me when i was in Sydney abt the 4 mths' maternity leave. I guess she cant wait to have her 3rd one. Frankly, this incentive dont tempt me at all. I think i believe to the majority 80% that will want kids becos of them and not becos of some one time-off benefit like longer maternity leave or $6000 from govt. It's the cost of rearing them, time commitment and giving them the best you can. I think Singapore govt shld learn from France that provide mthly allowance for kids under 12 of abt U$900. This will really help and encourage pp to have more kids.
Been hearing alot of good news abt pp getting pregnant now. I am really happy for them but for me, i am happy with my one, precious one, Princess Athena :)

You stopping at 1? I think its an individual choice to stop at 2 or 3 or 4. My MIL can keep talking about how having 2 is too little, but that her view/what she wants, and not what I want (i want a quite home).
However, if you choose to stop at 1 (reason being that's your individual choice too), you may want to consider how that will impact your gal. Only child is a lonely child. Cousins are different from siblings.
For me, having 2 is not my own "most desired choice". Its a choice that I make, after considering the responsibility towards the eldest child.
ya... but tt's wat i thinks now. 2 more years, i may change my mind. But now, i am enjoying her ... :)
