Mindful Pilates Karen Leung

[17months and counting]

My dear son,

Every second of my life has been filled with sweetness and precious memories since your existence.

I’ve learnt a lot from you.

Everyday you bring me and papa new perspectives on how to experience the world to its fullest yet in its simplest form possible.

Every little thing on earth fascinates you and gives you such a good laugh.

But you know what, your every little laugh gave us an even bigger laugh.

Your babbling, funny looks, mischievous actions and jokes just never ceased to amaze me and papa.

And most of all, we are filled with your truly unconditional love all year round.

Thank you my dear son.

Thank you for choosing us to be your parents.

Thank you for showing us how to love and enjoy life in the simplest ways and live mindfully by being present all the time.

You are truly an angel.

Love you,
Mama

A spontaneous bake while baby is in bed.

We’ve been watching a lot of which has inspired me to make this Early Valentine’s Day Dessert.

This year, there’s no dressed up nor fancy celebration but visiting daddy for an extended lunch break for dimsum.
•
Pure joy & love ♥️

[Diary of a Mom] - Day142

Motherhood is living in the baby bubble and swimming in that love and joy everyday. It is pure, literal and as simple as this happy face.
•
This true love of life living as a baby is precious.
•
His presence reminds me to pause, breath and embrace the pure joy that my inner child feels at the moment.
•
Note to self: Just be present like a baby would
•
Scroll to the left & Feel that calmness and peacefulness I felt when he was sleeping in my arms.
•
How are you feeling now?

This happy soul sparks joy in my life and I hope he lit up your smile too.

Pregnancy journal | week 39

How I miss that belly! I recall that it was an eventful but calm day.
•
I knew this will be the last photo of Liam inside my belly
•
We hurried to take this photo in the morning of 27th March before we chat with my sister in law who’s midwife for some last minute tips, did an extra Covid test, run errands in Mostown (shopping mall), repack my hospital bag
•
We’ve done a lot in one day considering the fact that I was feeling “the cramp” every now and then for up to a minute-ish since 11am.
•
We were bold and hold off going to the hospital until the contractions become real and is 30s to 1 minute long, 5 minutes apart. That was 8pm.
•
We arrived the hospital at 9pm and could go in the labour ward right the way as I was already 2-3 cm dilated.
•
I was like awesome, we don’t have to wait, but at the same time I said “Liam please slow down as I haven’t got my COVID test result back, meaning daddy Jon can’t come into the ward to meet you, but soon.”
•
About 3hours after Jon reunited with me and hold my hands by my side, little Liam came to this world.
•
It was a full natural unassisted birth that I was hoping for.
•
Thanks to my lovely body doing this magical work.

Gotta love that same day delivery from
•
Since baby was born, I was dying for a tea, but I haven’t found any decaf version that I liked. So I switched back to my good old bulletproof coffee.
•
I’ve also ordered this turmeric latte to try. Having a baby means everything need to be done efficiently, so here’s a short cut for a healthy drink.
