Family Day Out at Flagstaff Garden

Daddy Kevin bought a 'Furminator' for Foxie & decide to test it out in the Park.

The furminator treatment is a patent-pending tool designed to stop shedding where it begins in the undercoat of the dog.

It removes loose hair while leaving the dog with a shiny & healthy coat.

Foxie seems to be enjoying the process of removing his 'dead' furs.

Foxie is going to be a big brother next year!

Prenatal Class

We went to our 1st prenatal class at Freemason Hospital.

It was a full-on one day class on a Sunday Morning.

We were given many informations on the birth of baby & the care of baby at home.

We also get to meet other couples who are gonna have babies soon.

We get to share our personal experiences & play some games together.

( Those games & interaction allowed us to have a better understanding of the labour process)

We were given light lunch too! The lady with the lunch trolley is our speaker, Donna.

She is a midwife from Freemason maternity ward & also conceiving her 3rd baby!!

Look at the face of the dolly.. thats how my expression gonna be during those contraction...

I'm both excited & nervous about my labour.

Praying that it will be a smooth one for all of us..

Sundress & Bibs for our Baby

Mommy Michelle made a Baby Sundress & Bibs when she was 14 years old during a home economic lesson.

She knew that she will keep it for her 1st baby.. but not sure how long she gonna wait before she got one!

After more than a decade, her dreams is finally gonna come true..

Her own lil' girl wearing something she had made long long time ago...

Baby Girl, we cant wait for you to try them on!

Week 24

This is another big week for our magical growing baby!

Checklist for this week:

1) ears: done

2) fingernails: done

3) lungs walls: secreting “surfactant”.

Surfactant is sort of what it sounds like: a surface-activated fat whose main purpose is to assist the my baby's little lungs during inflation.

My submerged baby is still breathing in amniotic fluid, preparing and rehearsing the lungs an oxygen-filled life outside the womb.

Also by now, her beautiful face is almost fully formed, complete with eyelashes, eyebrows & hair!

According to our obstetrician, our lil' Girl is weighing a good 750g today!

Picnic at Kinglake

We went up to Kinglake on Melbourne Cup Day. Kinglake National Park is 65km north-east of Melbourne.

It's our 1st trip there ever since the 2009 Bushfire.

Kinglake National Park is the largest national park close to Melbourne. It has 22,360 hectares of tall forests, fern gullies and rolling hills, an extensive network of walking tracks and other facilities, as well as vantage points offering scenic views.

Bushfire 2009 Impact

Approximately 98 per cent of the park, including the office and most visitor facilities, were burnt by the Black Saturday bushfires in February 2009. Rehabilitation work and assessment of fire damage is continuing in the park and areas will be re-opened progressively.

We found a nice spot for BBQ

Most of Kinglake National Park has a cover of eucalypt forest. Many of the trees show a green flush of new growth along their trunks following the fire.

Grass trees have sent up their tall flowering spikes and tree ferns are bright with new growth. Gradually other species will regerminate including wattles, bush peas, cassinias, heath, tussock grass and orchids.

Me at 24 weeks with our lil' girl

We also visited the Bottle museum

We will Visit Kinglake again to see more sprouting & Flowering of the grass trees along with beautiful nature & species. God bless Kinglake & it's community.

My 1st Pregnancy

It's a Lil' PRINCESS!!

Little baby on the way,
Getting bigger every day,
Kicking mommy here and there,
God please listen to our prayer.

Keep our baby safe and strong,
Let his time with us be long,
Help us teach him right from wrong,
And we shall praise thee all day long.

This little on, though not yet here,
Is loved so much, has grown quite dear.
Delivery time is growing near,
That's why we pray our plea you'll hear.

Please help up Lord, we pray to Thee
With thankful heart, on bended knee,
To raise this child that he might be,
A happy child because of me.

A baby girl...

one of the most beautiful miracles in life,

one of the greatest joys we can ever know,

and one of the reasons why

there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness

in your world today.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.

Numbers 6:24-26

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves." -- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."-- John 15:12

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." -- I Corinthians 13:13
