I posted this on my FB account on 2nd Oct and thought I placed it here too..
@524am, 看着我的双胞胎和老大熟睡的样子，让我感到非常幸福！I'm so truly blessed to have them in my life. So tempted to wake them up! Haha.. Attempted to hold grace by her little fingers n when she snuggled, I was hoping tt she might lift up her eyes n catch a glimpse of me. *guilty*
Life is beautiful and God is good.

Happy 5 mths !
- Posted on 27th Sep 2012 -
Today the twins r 5 mths old! Yippee ! Another milestone reached! Another mth before they start on solids, another interesting phrase.
Today I bumped into an ex colleague who also has a pair of twins, but they are younger, only abt 2 mths old. Looking at how exhausted the daddy is, i have almost forgotten my 2 mths struggles n sleepless nights. My only encouragement to him was that all these will eventually come to pass. How true it is!
At 5 mths, they hv formed a routine. A typical day starts at 7am and usually zz by 730pm.. W Vera waking up occasionally at 2am for a tiny feed (2oz). Joy has also grown to be more matured and less jealous of the twins. It could also be because they r now more awake n more playful.
I still remember my plea to him abt hiring a helper to alleviate the household chores. He finally relented in aug. I remember how thrilled I was when he finally gave the green light. But as of now, I m less keen of the idea liaoz., though he feels tt it might still b a gd idea to get nevertheless. How fast things hv changed!
Looking at how fast my 3 princess grow, I sometimes hope that time will juz pause for a moment before they grow too fast n become independent, when one day their friends become their world...
Lastly I like to thank God for blessing me with a 101% hubby n 3 easy princesses .. Haha.. Although I do hv to agree tt Ms V is always testing our limits. But irregardless , thank God for his multiple blessings, and for guiding us in every steps!

A little prayer...
John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”
Right now, I juz wanna pray for a friend , a very close friend that God you heal her wounds, you protect her from more hurts, that You heal her both emotionally and physically. Though we may not understand the reason why, or when she will conceive again, but Lord, I pray that You'll be with her, in these moments of sufferings and indeed, tough times. I pray Lord, that You give us the rainbow soon. We know You are the Healer and the Creator of Mankind, and nothing, yes nothing is impossible in yr eyes. Lord, then I pray that You heal my fren of the wounds, that You breathe life again in her womb, that she will be able to experience motherhood again. And that we will be able to testify your goodness.
Lord, the wait is long and tiring. I pray that You carry my fren and her entire household, that they will experience your goodness, yr promise. Lord, it is hard to carry on w/0 your presence, so I pray that You be with her , let her know of Your presence; protect her like a mother would protect her young, hug her and give her warmth. I pray that she will only look to you for comfort, for strength and have faith in You. Indeed, it is always easier said than done- to believe in the unseen for seeing isn't believing but believing is seeing! Lord, I pray that all things will come to pass, and she will see light after the tunnel real soon, In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Yeah to sleep!
Yeah to sleep !
After I blog a few weeks ago abt the hectic nights, and when they are abt 3 mths old, it's confirmed! They are really sleeping thru the nights! A typical night would b a last feed at abt 730, n both will zz fr 8-6 or 7am; w Only Vera waking up once in the night. To which we are so ever grateful . Indeed. A check w several of my colleagues n I realized tt it's not always a fact tt bb will zz thru.. And some are still having multiple night feeds..
Juz so grateful tt the girls r giving us some time to rest n prepare for the next day.
Joy has also become more used to the twins ard, w "shared love" . She even started to do flash cards w the twins today. I know it's too early but at least this can keep all three entertain for a while. Haha.. I hope it's not a 三分钟热度 thing.

Haven Bakery
- Posted on 3rd Aug -
After resting for 7 mths, Uncle Pig decided that it was time to reopen Haven Bakery. As the ever supportive yet practical wife, I had mixed feelings with his decision.
I welcome the news bcoz it was after all a waste to close the biz after 3 yrs. the network n his mega fans were something tt was a pity; esp when our personal friends had no alternative bakery to look for.. The primary objective of Haven Bakery was pretty , tasty n healthy cakes.
Then y did I object? Coz the no. 1 step required to start the biz was to buy a fridge for his cakes. The price tag? $2000.. 不算多但也不少。ESP when I've already spent a lot on HB already n I'm afraid tt this biz become a pastime again; with the returns much lesser than the efforts put in.
Looking at his new "toy", I hope that this will b a wise investment. For starters, my frens were simply thrilled with that idea..
Will have to lean on God for his plans for us, and trusting that everything will be taken care by Him.

IVF
-Posted on 30th jul -
Recently met up with the acquaintance at a bday party. She was the one I talked abt previously when both of us were trying at abt the same time. Time flies, my twins are alrdy 3 mths old n I could c her envious eyes when she carried my girls. I told her that she should try again and I pray for her that it will b her turn soon, to experience motherhood, to enjoy the diaper changing , the bottles feeding n sleepless nights which many, including me, has taken for granted.
In another separate incident, a close friend of mine is in the midst of her IVF cycle. It is an emo rollercoaster ride for her too, not forgetting how tiring n painful the entire experience is as well.
As I look at these two friends of mine, I juz wanna pray for both of them right now. Lord, I pray that you breathe life into their womb, that You let them conceive . Lord, you grant their desire, their desire to have children. Lord, You carry them , when they r in their lowest valleys, give them strength n courage to persevere , You give them faith, that it will b their turn soon, in Your planned timing , in Jesus name I pray, Amen

3 mths old
- posted on 26 Jul -
In a couple of hrs time the girls will b 3 mths old.. A relatively big milestone in my opinion. They r now much bigger, no longer the small tiny babies we brought home.
Sleep wise for the past two nights have been a blessing w both of them falling asleep fr 7pm - 6am, almost 12 hrs of zzz, with Vera waking up once for each nights. I hope that this finally means the end of pockets of zz but a longer stretch of deep zz. I do hope that at 3 mths old, we can finally kiss the UK/US timings gd bye.
Looking back, I'm thankful for God's blessings upon us, the opportunity to take care of two more princesses n hopefully more to come. (yes, I'm serious.. Haha)
I know that as time passes, they will reach many milestones n before I know it, they will no longer be dependent on us. So really muz cherish this moment, the time when they r still consider infants, before they start flipping, crawling, walking.. I hope that they take their Time to reach these steps.. Some of my frens ask how r we gonna cope when they start running ? Seriously I don't know. But I know one thing for sure - God will be with us all the way. He will guide us thru these baby steps, He will protect us and He will walk with us and even carry us in our lowest valleys.
To my 3 princesses , I pray that you will grow up to be God's people, to be honest n sincere in treating others, to help others and to be a shining torch to others. In Jesus name I pray, Amen
