It's been a while......

It's been almost a year since my last entry.

What have changed?

Husband - still the same hubby of course except that he doesn't have to travel anymore. Yippee! But he works longer hours nowadays and usually come home after nine. At least we get to see each other everyday!

Home - now permanently living with parents-in-law instead of staying over only when Tim is in town.

Room - we have taken over my SIL's room after she got married in April.

In-law - got a new BIL.

Baby - a baby tiger coming our way! Hmm...is that the product of Tim not travelling?

Nephew - a nephew coming our way too! A honeymoon baby! At this time, the EDD of our baby tiger is one week earlier than our nephew. But you never know who is going to win the race!

House - still no news of when we will be receiving the keys. That makes planning of who to take care of the baby when my maternity leave ends really difficult. We are thinking of a couple of options:
(i) hire a maid but Tim's flat is too small and we are not used to living with strangers.

(ii)infant care - this option is really expensive and which location should we choose (i.e., Chai Chee, Raffles Place or AMK)? If we choose infant care over maid, who is going to take care of the household chores when we move to AMK? By the time we get home after picking up little tiger, it will be too late to prepare dinner.

This is a big headache!

Income & expenses - One did not go up by much but the other went up by a huge margin. I am sure you know which is which.
