On the eve of Christmas...



..we were snowed in. Pics shown the snow in our garden!

It is very nice we are going to have a white Christmas. Looking out the window, it is plain white and the flying snow flakes are simply beautiful.

Hope the snow will stop soon so we get to drive to nanny's on Christmas Day! It is Jinc's first Christmas and also our very first Christmas to spend at Nanny's....

I must make a note to thank Nanny. I am so grateful to have her as Jinc has the privilege to call her nanny. She is like a real grandma for Jinc, indeed. Now, a little bit about Jinc's English Nan...

Nanny's real name is called Pauline. She is in her sixties, and her husband is called Stewart, who Jinc calls him granddad, and he is in his seventies. They are both the regular customers at Sugar's restaurant for the past few years, and have become good friends with us. When I gave birth to Jinc, the first few weeks were extremely difficult for me to cope, as a new mum, the sleep deprivation, the complete change of having a newborn was a very daunting experience. I have no family support, as our family is too far away in Malaysia. I was also experiencing difficulty in breastfeeding Jinc. Pauline suggested that I try to give Jinc some formula milk, and then she just rushed out to Tesco and got me the very FIRST tin of formula milk for Jinc.

Yes, she did a brilliant job. The formula milk was like a miracle milk indeed. Jinc had a small bottle and he could sleep so well. That was because he was filled up and able to sleep more, for longer hours. Me, happy mum, as I finally got some rest. I could not thank her more.

Today, Pauline is like a mother to me, I will go to her for advice, and this Christmas, we are going over to hers, it is like we are going home for Christmas! She is my English mom, Jinc's English nan!

Au-pair agency...

Need help and I am browsing the au-pair agency websites. I guess I really need a helper in the house. It is almost time for me to source this to prepare the arrival of our second baby.

.. and it is still snowing, and I hope it will stop on Christmas day. We are so going to visit friends and family here...
