..I am tired. Feel like I have not had enough sleep. The weekend was a packed one with both going out and also taking care of M. He was a little sweetie but a very very active one. On Sat, we had the aircon people over to repair our leaky aircon and in the evening, dinner was at my sister’s place. I like going over as it gives the 3 little ones to play together though it was not much play that day as the 2 girls were having colds. N was really cute…kept asking for Vitamin C. I reckon that she will probably be the most bossy one amongst the group and M will be the Mr. Sunshine. He is the one who is usually happiest at play and will just wander around from toy to toy. Little V is starting to develop a temper of her own and she can really scream. She doesen’t cry…she screams. Very powerful lungs, she has. On Sun it was V’s baptism and the whole lot of us trooped off to church and then lunch at YWCA after that. Lunch was nice though as usual, it was hard to really eat cos had to entertain M as well. He was very happy during lunch and wanted to walk all over the place.

Think now that he is learning to walk and know how to crawl, he dose’t like being carried much. And he was also one chatty boy. It would be really nice if knew what he was saying. He just babbles on and on and on… He must have been really tired and knocked out in the car on the way back. Not even the loud chattering of the two mums could wake him up. He had a good nap after that…he was recharged and played for 7 hrs non-stop. It amazes me how much energy he has…except for the odd moment or two, when he is reading…he is moving here and there. I am glad that I am not any older or fatter than I am ..otherwise I would have a hard time keeping up with him. He seems to have boundless energy. I was exhausted both mentally and  physically by the time I reached home. He finally slept at 10.30, think he must have been tired too cos he slept all the way till 9.15 this morning. Uninteruppted except for a short  break this morning abt 6 to drink milk. I hope he gets the rest he needs in school today so that he wun be overly tired.

 I really need a rest…a long long uninterrupted sleep.

I was talking to S yesterday about having kids. And said I would be very excited when she gets a kid.Anyway..that set me thinking a little bit. Is there such thing as an ideal time to have kids? After marriage …yeah..but when after marriage? For us, M came along really quickly.About 5 weeks or so after our wedding, I sensed something was amiss and thought that I might be pregnant. And lo and behold…after 3 home-tests and a visit to the gynae, all was confirmed :) So very quickly after the wedding and all, we had to not only get used to being husband and wife but also to being daddy and mummy-to-be. 

Sometimes I wish we had more couple time and more time to enjoy each other’s company first…to go travel….to go watch more midnight movies etc. But sometimes I think it was good M came along early cos I would then be younger and more able to keep up with him. And most importantly, M would not be who he is now if it was a different pregnancy. And I love him for just who is…tantrums and all. He is such a little cheeky fella and all it takes is a chuckle or smile from him to wipe away all tiredness. He is also very affectionate and loves to cuddle. It is funny to see him kissing his own reflection in the mirror or his photo. Hehe…shall not digress.I can go on and on abt M.

So after all these thinking about when is the right timing, I reckon there is no right or wrong timing. Each would have its goods and bads and it is also how we choose to react to it. We still got our couple time, only difference was that I was pregnant. By the time we went for our honeymoon, I was already about 4 mths pregnant. The good/great/marvellous thing is that I never did get any morning sickness at all. Apart from the occasional throwing up from eating the wrong thing and the gastric-ky feeling in the first trimesterm pregnancy was a breeze. In fact, I enjoyed my pregnancy right up to the time M was born. It was great too that we had a wonderful gynae who was totally reassuring and did not make me do this or do that. Even sashimi was OK he said, as long as it was fresh.Hmm…sometimes I miss being pregnant but the first couple of months after delivery is another story altogether

All in all, I reckon that even if we could turn back the clock, I still want to get married when I did and get pregnant when I did And of course, I still want to be married to the same person.
