sigh .. I think this is niceeeee.

Yeap. It's GOLD in colour and it's Gucci .. I thought it's quite pretty actually ... It's the Crystal Joy GG Tall Tote bag. Am wondering whether I can afford this after all the Christmas shopping I've done. lol :p

Yes, it is THAT time of the year again ..

when I start to feel all nostalgic about living the States those many many years ago .. lol :p I was looking at my photos and thinking about how having a little garden there was so much more achievable than HERE. Well, firstly, there's the issue of actually living here in a HOUSE with a garden .. then the more important issue is the blasted weather .. it was so nice in Springtime there to be outside pottering around tending to the flowers etc. while Claudia was either on her bicycle or running up and down with the neighbour's kids.

sigh.

Yes, that was my little garden .. with plants and flowers purchased from Wal-Mart no less. That's Claudia btw .. not some random Asian little girl I picked up. lol :p

That swing set I got for her 2nd hand .. it was a bargain .. and she was a lucky girl .. a whole swing set with a slide and a see saw .. in our backyard. lol :p These photos were taken in May 2004 .. so I was about 8 months pregnant with Lauren here.

This Christmas ..

I've been meaning to do this for some time now. And that some time has stretched to years - finally I signed up last night and my GIRO application is in the mail. I signed up to be a child sponsor (again) for World Vision.

$45 a month isn't a lot of money to help a child. I had been a child sponsor for a number of years to a Filipino boy and his family. Every year, I'd get a letter or 2 with a smiling photo of him and a short letter telling me about his life etc. At first the letters were written by his teacher then as he got older and could write himself, the letters were written by him. I treasured each letter I got from him and wrote back a couple of times. I was his child sponsor for a good number of years till his family was deemed self-sufficient financially and was no longer under World Vision. I had the option of taking on a new child but never got around to it.

I finally did last night. I chose a child from Cambodia. Now, I'm waiting rather excitedly for his/her portfolio.

Would u like to be a child sponsor too? Go to the World Vision website and sign up today!

32 weeks and counting ..

Went for my gynae appt today. Baby is of a good size she says. I was suspicious and asked her exactly how big is she? Lol.

Her head circumference went from 252 to 310 in 3 weeks! And conservatively my gynae puts her weight at 2.7kg now. That means she could hit 4 kg when she is born!

Oh dear! My nightmare. I'm not keen on a large baby. More work pushing her out AND the likelihood of tearing is HIGH.

damn it.

My gynae says since I delivered Emily at 3.9kg w no problems - ie no episiotomy or tearing - it should be fine this time around.

I sure hope so. Lol.
