Planning ahead...way 7 years ahead

My recent conversaton with Louis includes his plan for the kids primary school selection. Yes, Primary School and my twins are not even born yet. He was telling me that we can't wait till 4-5 years later to decide, we must start planning because we need to plan where to move to if we want the twins to be in the same school. Riddicular?? To him, he felt that he didn't have planning from his parents and he didn't want his kids to be in the same shoes as him. But to plan 7 years ahead is just abit too much for me. My immediate concern is getting them out safe and healthy. The rest can wait till we settled them.

So, the topic...to be continue!! I guess, he can't wait for too long, so we will talk about it after my maternity period, if i am lucky.

While I was shopping for the basic necccessity items for the babies, he was worried about them not having toys to be entertained with. Again, he said, 'I have not toys when I was young, the same things cannot happened to them'...Fine, I got it, let's start looking for some toys that are suitable for them. We did but failed, the search will continue till we find something suitable.

The beginning of Kiasu parenthoods!!

Working till the water bag break

During my 33 weeks medical appointment, my gynae told me that babies are growing well and they are in head down position and they are suitable for natural birth. We were happy to hear this and the shocker came....he said I will probably be able to deliver in 2-3 weeks time. I was in total shock, so is Louis.

We have been looking forward to meeting the twins but in 2-3 weeks time is too fast. We are totally unprepared. We did periodically buy those babies stuffs and items but we just felt so NOT READY. I went shopping immediately after leaving hospital, there seem to unlimited things to buy and they are never enough.

So this weekend will be a busy one, we need to sort the babies clothes, wash them and dry them. We need to bring the babyCot back from my mum's place and all the necessities items. Thanks goodness for friends who are offering me suggestions and help and checklists for me to prepare myself.

Anyway, I am not planning to take early maternity leave, felt that is it a waste to do so...but will my water break while I am working? It will be memorable if that happened right? But I doubt my colleagues will be too excited if that really happened.
