Still confused at week 34

We are getting closer to our D-Day and the mediacorp TV are counting down to 2015 everyday. As long as the babies can wait till 2015, we will just be satisfied. Today's TV is showing 19 days to 2015 and we are like counting down excitedly towards it.

I was surprised when Felin dug out so many new things for me to wash, despite the hundred of clothes that we had already washed. They are all new towels, clothes, swaddles, bedsheets, car seat covers, blankets, etc...

As of today, we are still unsure of many things such as whether to put the babies on 2 cots or on the floor after 2 months, whether they come into our rooms or to remain in their own room, etc...

On Thursday night, Felin woke up and was unable to fall back to sleep, we started talking about domestic helper. She told me that she don't like the idea of having another stranger in the house, She dislike losing the privacy and making our house feel smaller. I suggested infant care but she was very against it citing that they will fall sick very easily and they are too fragile for it.

We were also not sure if Mum will be happy taking care of our babies and whether Mum's help is still necessary if we are to engage a domestic worker. We are also unsure whether to get the worker now or probably 3-4 months after birth because Felin are very likely quitting her job after her maternity leave.  There are really so many things which we are unsure and yet the D-day seems to creep nearer. We are not very proactive with the domestic helper issue and yet it seems urgent at this stage.

Nevertheless, we continue with our shopping at Tampines today and purchased a few new clothings for the babies. We had a relaxing evening and took pictures of our study table which we decided to give away. This table is somehow too big and we wanted to make better use of our bay window by putting our modular wooden cubes to be used as a storage area and as a diaper changing table. We kinda miss this table because it had accompanied me from my old house and served me well over the years. I posted in the Livia facebook page to if anyone wanted my table and I received a request within 10 minutes. This table will be gone by tomorrow and hence I post this picture below as a memory for myself. "Good Bye Table..., please serve your new master well."
