Raian's Birth Story

 Hello :) It's been a minute . Took me long enough to publish this onto my blog because I wasn't sure if I wanted this to be apart of where I share my memories permanently but whatever has happened was not in any of our control. Raian's arrival deserved to be celebrated regardless.  Forewarning: it ain't all that happy or in my opinion , at all . Let's go . If you've been actively following the Raibois' Instagram account, you would have known that Raiden got covid on 13th March and I tested positive as well 2 days later , on my EDD ; and that I got admitted for to check if Raian was doing ok in my belly .  So when I went to get my PCR done at the GP because I know I would have to head to the hospital soon since I missed my final appointments due to Raiden being C+ . What I was told at the GP was that the hospital would have to check if we were okay and if I was in going into labour , I would have to deliver alone and be separated from my newborn till I was C...

MiniSoh's Birth Story

Hello ! Pretty sure a lot of you want to know how did the process of birthing him went heh . One of the best thing other than the little bundle of joy you see , is getting to know the birth story ! At least that's how I feel when I follow mummies on IG . Nuff' said ! Here we go . Initially , I really wanted him to be out before 20th March because I wanted a Pisces baby rather than a Aries one , as baby's daddy and I are the remaining 2 fire signs . So imagine how bad shit is gonna turn out if we all blow up amirite . However , clearly he felt like it wasn't time yet . So I accepted the fact and let him decide what was best for him ; but me being me , I still told him to not come on the weekends as I wanted to spend one last weekend before being a mum and of course , time with the husband (ended up sleeping all weekend and he was on his game all the time so hahaha that's our quality time) . So , for 21/3 and 22/3 , my body clock was screwed right over . I litera...

Hospital of Choice and What I Packed

Being a first time mum and having little to no one I could consult through this pregnancy, I relied a lot on Google, pregnancy apps, other pregnant mummies who share their experience on IG and my own mother for my doubts and enquiries so this is what I came up with along with a simple checklist given by NUH, where I will be welcoming baby R. First off, Why NUH? I was initially with KKH during my first half of my pregnancy but some may know, the service provided there was terrible. In fact, terrible is an understatement. From long waiting hours to insane mistakes made by nurses and doctors, I wouldn't recommend anyone who is looking for a public hospital to deliver at to go there, despite it being a specialised hospital. I transferred to NUH during my second trimester and so far, the service there has been really good. Why I don't see a point in delivering in a private hospital is because, despite the fact that you can choose your gynaecologist and better ultrasound photos...

THE Wedding

⚠️Lengthy post up ahead⚠️ Honestly not sure if I should even call what I had a wedding or just a solemnization , but let's just go with wedding . Why I choose to write this , is because I wanna commemorate the whole wedding process here and also I am 19 and honestly the first to go through this new phrase compared to all my friends ; also came across a Zula post on why people regretted spending large sums of money on the wedding and felt that I could relate alot to it . I hope this serves as good advice for those who are contemplating to have an extravagant wedding or a small scale one . I will also be sharing some sensitive details as to WHY our wedding was planned as it is but I will not go too deep into details . To begin with My story goes slightly different because when my husband and I were planning this , I was already (still am) pregnant . We are also still considered studying as I was doing traineeship and he just started his part time diploma too so you ...

December 2019

From wanting to pen a lengthy instagram post to a rollercoster of emotions . Still feels extremely surreal that everything (the pregnancy announcement and marriage) happened and is now over . What's left is the wait to enter motherhood . Tying the knot I must admit that lifestyle after marriage doesn't feel much of a difference except the amount of messages we are getting from people to congratulate us and the status . My husband is really happy to call me his wife , I find it really cute haha . As much as being a married couple does not feel much different , I still constantly remind myself that I've entered a different chapter of my life , a whole new milestone . I can no longer play or enjoy things people around my age do and I honestly never did , pregnant and married or not . I felt like I skipped the fun part haha . I also feel more responsible of my husband , be it wellbeing or whatsoever , and being a more reserved person (contradicting since I put most of thes...
