Ethan Turns One Month

Yes our little Ethan 'Man Yue' yesterday!! Finally we can bring him out 'gai gai' and of course, with my confinement over, tis a reason to clelebrate! Hence as with Asian tradition for good luck, we did a mini get-together dinner with some friends (all of whom I have greatly missed for the past month). At first we were worried that he'd be unsettled with a crowded house & too much noise, but who knew, he was surprisingly really good. Seems like he's a people person who loves to be amongst the crowd. To think he could even sleep with all the noise in the background!

We bought fresh prawns, scallops & sashimi from the Fish market - which I could only watch and not eat coz apparently there's to be no seafood for 40 days after giving birth (I have 10 more days to go. Dun ask me who made this rule...I just follow suite to avoid mom's nagging). For significance sake, Yew Peng went all the way to Chinatown just to get noodles from East Ocean + Gueh Lapis cake from Maroubra (signifying long life & bu bu gao sheng). Kel, Kian & Stephen also bought loads of roasted meats. What a feast we had! Ethan missed all of that as he was in dream land. But perhaps he did have his noodles & cake afterall...having digested into his milk??

Well he surely is a blessed little one coz not only did we celebrate for him here in Sydney, his grandparents did a little cake thingie for him as well in Singapore! Loads of ang baos & gifts too! On behalf of Ethan, a huge thank you to everyone :) especially Elsa, Elsie, Ad & Ger who came with presents again.


This is indeed a milestone for Ethan and us as his parents, so what's next? I soooo look forward to his second month...

Pointing to Ad's tummy, already in her 8th month. Her little bub is coming to 4kg already inside her now! He's surely gona be super chubby & cute when born, like the michelin tyres icon. Can't wait to see him.
Need to also let everyone know that Ethan's name has been changed from Kai Jun to Kai Xin (Xin as in new). Why? Hmm....its an astrology thingie as decided by his grandparents :)
