Recent Updates....

Finally, I have time for blogging. For the past few weeks, it has been a hectic weeks. There is also a major change in our life. First of all, hubby got an offer to work in Su Zhou, China end of September for two years contract and he had to report to the new company this month, that is where he is now located. Earlier, he was still thinking 50/50 on accepting the offer because my EDD is so near and my transfer was yet to approve. After consideration, I get him to accept the offer. I know it will be tough for me handling the house alone with my two children later. I gave hubby my commitment and confidence that I can handle it alone. We had never departed since we know each other. My hearts feel so hard, so heavy when I see him leaving at the airport. I’ve been crying a lot for the last few days and I’m getting myself back today. On Monday, good news from HR approving my transfer overwhelming me although the condition of transfer is to downgrade 2 levels down from my current grade with no increment for the next grade upgrade. It a tough decision but I’m signing off the offer without thinking twice because nothing is more important than being with my little Alfred. I’ll be having a new lifestyle, no more honeymoon day for me. Previously, taking care Alfred is like part time job as I’m only a weekend mother. The responsibility is now different as I will have more time with Alfred after working hours which mean partially full time job. Haha!!

By the way, we does lot of activities for the past few weeks. Daddy spends a lot of time with Alfred. He told me sadly, he will miss his growing up for two years. Let see stuff we had done for the past weekends.

First outing at the park

We visited the park on a weekend for the very first time since Alfred started walking. We had never been to the park since Alfred is born. We bring along his walker so that he can walk faster and steadier. Oh my, I can’t imagine how he loves the park. He explores everything himself. We let him go where he likes to go and we spent almost 2 hours at the park just walking around. He wave bye to the strangers that pass by and those people didn’t even know us. We just figure out how friendly our son is. Ha! When he heard the birds sing, he shouted, “birds”. There’s a lake next to the park and when he saw the fish, then he shouted, “Fish”. He learns to talk a lot nowadays. I had captured a couple of pictures of him to share with everyone.

Congratulations on the transfer. How wonderful that you will get more enjoyable time with Alfred. How have you been doing lately with your pregnancy? I was also wondering how you got your watermark on your photos?

My heart is heavy for you that your husband will be in China. Will you guys get to see each other on vacations? Holidays? I wish you love and luck as you embark on this new journey. The pictures of Alfred are adorable, my favorite are in his new pajamas! Absolutely precious!

Hi Melisa,
My pregnancy has been doing very well. I just have to cope up with the back body pain. I can't wait to see my baby to meet the world. :) An additional info, I didn’t do any alteration to the photo. It was my DSLR camera with the fix lenses that does the job.

Kim,
We will be seeing each other 4 times a year. I’m planning to visit China next year May and hubby will come back during Chinese New Year next year Feb. My visit is like holiday for me.

Jennifer,
Counting down.. 43 day to go..
