Baby Scan!
We’re having a baby!
I guess quite a few people who read this might already know that, but for those who don’t I thought I’d share the news :) We’re really excited about our family growing, and its a daily joy counting the days and gradually watching Laura’s tummy grow!
Laura’s about 14 weeks pregnant now and baby is 13 weeks old (did you know that there’s some confusion about exactly how you count that? Different places use different systems) and we’re due middle of April 2009. About 6 months to go!
Given that this blog is about living in Singapore, I’ll write about what the pre-natal care has been like so far, so there’ll be more posts on the subject soon.
In the meanwhile, here are some pics (taken last week) of our baby. We still don’t know the sex, that we’ll find out when we have our detailed scan at 20 weeks. Exciting!
Don’t try walking to work
In London I was used to a 40 minute walk to work, which I didn’t mind at all – especially since public transport would take about 30 minutes anyway.
I’m in much the same situation here – it’s about half an hour to walk and 25 minutes by bus. However the problem here is that after walking for more than about 10 minutes you get very sweaty, and it’s not a nice way to arrive at the office every day.
It’s a shame because I find walking to work a great way to get some gentle exercise. Fortunately since we live in a Condo, we have a pool right on our doorstep!
What is this flower called?
Laura really loves these plants and we can’t remember what they’re called … does anyone know? It’s some kind of bush if that helps.
[EDIT : It's a bougainvillea, as you'll see in the comments ... thanks Sue and Samir! I got one of these for Laura's birthday]
These are all over Singapore
