Rolling With The 4-Month Punches.
Baby has also just begun to roll from his back to his tummy with varying degrees of success. Last night, during two of his night wakings, he rolled over in his cot and needed help in flipping back. Thankfully, he was able to keep his head up for a while as I rolled myself out … Continue reading
Going From Zero To A Hundred.
As some of you might have gathered from my Feb 2025 header update, I’ll be playing a gig pretty soon. Actually, make that 2 gigs. Who is this person? I don’t recognise her. Ever since I gave birth (for the record, I’m currently 16 weeks postpartum), I’ve only stepped out of the house to:• Walk … Continue reading
About the February’25 Header.
It’s taken me a while to update my header since reviving my blog in November 2024. I couldn’t find a nice, recent image because I prefer to photograph memories rather than aesthetics these days. The header was last updated in April 2014, and now fast forward 11 years, here’s a photo to honour my long-suffering, … Continue reading
The Mental Load.
I was chatting with a friend recently about motherhood things, and a significant topic that came up was the mental burden that mums have to bear (and how tiring it is). There’s a lot that goes unnoticed around the household because it all takes place within the mind of a mother. Following which, things just … Continue reading

Well, for me, it’s mostly gone into:– feeding baby– changing baby– entertaining baby– trying to remember to do tummy time with baby– getting baby to nap– baby’s bedtime routine– baby’s laundry– pumping– more pumping Notice … Continue reading
Anecdotal Baby Poop.
Last night at 1:35am (or early this morning, depending on how you view it), I was awoken by the sound of baby doing a loud poop. PRAAAAAP. It was followed by a huge fart. POOOOT. This is the first time that we’ve had a night waking that wasn’t due to hunger or a build up … Continue reading
How Has It Been 2 Months?
The days are long but the months are fast. — overheard on Reddit Or as a friend said in response to one of my desperate Instagram Story pleas about baby not sleeping: The nights are long but the years are short. And sure enough, baby turned 2 months old this week. We still can’t wrap … Continue reading
Closing 2024 With Gratitude.
This year has been a rollercoaster of life events, and all I can say is that I’m grateful. Grateful for the blessing of a child. Grateful for my husband who has been an amazing pillar of support and love. Grateful for family who have unconditionally offered help in all shapes and forms, and really rallied … Continue reading
Week 8 and Anxiety.
The time is 2:47PM and I’m writing this on my phone as I sit on the couch with baby napping in the Baby K’tan that my sister-in-law lent to us. Sounds like a peaceful scene, which it is, but in actuality I haven’t eaten lunch because I don’t want to move around and wake him. … Continue reading
Week 7.
Since writing the previous post, we’ve now entered Week 7 and I’m happy to report that I feel much lighter internally. Things aren’t any easier for sure, with baby continuing to resist naps in the afternoon. But my mental state has stabilised, and I found myself accepting a social visit from friends a few afternoons … Continue reading
