Bonus time again

Woo.....This is a yearly big event!

Now, people are speculating about how good/bad the bonus will be. When they receive it, people will complain about the bonus they receive. Some will remain silent if their bonuses are within or beyond expectations. Thereafter, there will be people resigning and some people being low morale. Managers will have headache then coz they need to pacify/motivate their people though themselves are equally disappointed with the bonus.

Having been in banking industry for so long, I am used to these. People come and go, smart people will flow to whenever that can pay them better. This is human nature.

I have not thought of leaving the bank, however I might opt for a change in role after my maternity leave. I just can't dedicate too much time for work after my baby is born. I will need to spend a lot more time at home then. A stable and regular-hour job will be most suitable for mommies. I have kind of dropping hint to management about my intention, hopefully there will be good arrangement for me when I am back from maternity.

Baby @ week 33

Just finished check up. Baby weighs 2kg, normal. He is in right position for natural delivery. Gynae told me to prepare mentally for labour pain. He also advised me to exercise more from now onwards coz it will be helpful for labour. We will follow doctor's choice to deliver at Thomson Medical Centre. I have one worry less then as I was still considering if should choose Mt. Alvernia hospital since some of my friends highly recommend it.

Now I should really focus on my and my baby's well-being.

Father-to-be

I am utterly disappointed with my hubby. As a father-to-be, he has done very little for our baby. He can't be bothered to talk to baby and read story for baby. He is also not reading enough to understand what's pregnancy and labour about. The dos and don'ts during pregnancy, the support his preggy wife needs from him, how to take care of newborn etc. I have been talking to him few times about my expectation but he simply ignore my feedback.

It's now 33 weeks! He is still like nothing big is going to happen in 7 weeks later. I really lose hope in him. People always say he is a good husband, I wonder what people know about him to make that judgement.

He always doesn't like when I say this is my baby coz he feels I should say this is our baby. Please then make it ours!!! My baby has feeling now, he knows who have been caring for him all these while.

Please do something to deserve to be called daddy.

Sleeping prince

My nephew is a sleeping prince. He is only 9-day old and is currently weighing 4.5kg, about 900 gram heavier than his first born weight. Babies who sleep more gain weight faster than those who don't. Hope my precious little one also sleeps more next time.

33 weeks...

7 more weeks to go....We will welcome our precious son in 7 weeks. Ooo...

Suddenly, I made up my mind to hire confinement lady instead of getting my MIL to help. Perhaps, the decision was too last minute that my hubby felt upset with me coz he has arranged the schedule with his parents earlier. From my sis's experience, I realized how important a confinement lady is to new parents. It's truly helpful to have such experienced expert around to ease our stress and we can also learn from her about how to take care of our newborn. Moreover, confinement lady also can help with baby laundry and housework but I would not dare to request these from my MIL.

I am looking for confinement lady now but not sure if can find one in such a short notice as there are really many babies born in year of dragon. Now I realize why people keep saying it will be competitive for dragon babies. Parents gonna fight for vacancy in hospital ward, confinement lady, infant care and childcare services, primary and secondary school admissions etc.

I will be having gynae appointment again next Mon. Hopefully, baby is healthy and we can get to see his face through 3D scan. We have missed 3 chances since baby is always not with right position/angle. Hello baby, please don't disappoint mommy & daddy again, ok?
