I was still asleep at 8+am when I noticed that Felin was in the room. I asked her if she is not feeling well but she just lay on the bed motionless. I queried further and she told me that she just returned while on her way to office. I asked her why and she told me that 2 people commented to her while on her way to work that her dress was too thin and the inner lining of the dress are too visible or rather too short. She became so conscious while on the MRT that she decided to just come back home and change. However she was already so upset and tired that she simply don't feel like going to work anymore. I just dragged myself out from bed and offered to drive her to office. I think this made her morning better and she eventually reached office at about 9:40am. Felin is really short of new clothes at this stage but yet she is so tired to do any shopping. The quality of clothes she got from her sister were questionable as evidenced by the above example where the dress is from her sister.
Work as usual for me and I was in the midst of possibly recruiting a new staff to help with my administrative work. I was pretty worried about cost because I am going to incurred a lot of additional expenses in time to come. New baby expenses, domestic worker, conversion of car to a regular plate which will increase transport cost and not forgetting my mortgage and condo maintenance expenses. Now talking about a new administrative staff and on top of it, my sales aren't showing sign of getting better or even maintaining what I got last year. Instead, the chance is that it will drop when the babies come.
Quite worrying indeed especially if Felin is to stop work for 1 to 2 years in the near future.
Anyway, take a step at a time. I am getting stressed actually.
I was supposed to do my work since that I returned home early today after dinner at Mum's place but I ended up looking through Gum Tree for 2nd hand baby cots and reading through articles from internet from 10pm to 11:30pm at night and I had also read my first borrowed book from the library which I think is pretty useful for new Daddy like myself.
This book gives a good idea of the pregnancy process and what the woman is going through. The type of scans, how to support the woman psychologically, the financial aspect, the skills needed, things we need to know and take note at different stages, etc, etc...
Well, I got lots to learn indeed...
