My Maternity Shoot with Ting {Lightedpixel Pixies}

Previously I mentioned that I've scheduled a maternity shoot together with my hubby with one of the photography company that I've come to like their works... Lightedpixel Pixies!

Almost wanted to choose this company to cover my wedding's Actual Day photography.. however the pixies are not available on my wedding date and since One Eye Click is available and I've admired their works for the longest time.. I choose them.

Glad I have an excuse to do another photoshoot... but it isn't an easy affair cause my hubby is the most grumpy-est person when it comes to taking photos. I wonder why he hate to take pictures so much??!!

So here are the selected edits that I choose..

The photos are not what I expected like my pre-wedding photos but I think Ting managed to capture afew soft moments... esp my hubby.. Hehehe..

Images are taken when I'm in my 2nd trimester {Week 22}...

I went to research for Maternity photo shoot and many recommended to have the maternity shoot taken during the 32 - 35th weeks where the baby bump is the most prominent.

But I personally feel that maternity shoot at 2nd trimester is pretty workable for me as I don't get tired so easily.. Especially now with my huge water retention feet.. it may be difficult for me to walk around.

I'm toying with the idea to have another photoshoot.. this time it's just me only!!! Pregnancy is something very special and amazing journey for me.. So I thought why not do another photoshoot, just me and my baby bump.

Wanted to go to a studio to do a nude maternity shoot to show off that bump but my stretch marks are kinda of scary!! I did apply tons of stretch marks cream.. but it's still unavoidable...

Recently I purchased Clarins Stretch Marks Prevention cream..and boy.. its really good..
Fast absorption and it doesn't make me itch... Very light scent.
After a week of application.. seems to lighten my existing stretch marks...

Glad I bought this!!!!

Have a great week!!

How you kick start your year in 2014??!!

Hello!! So far, how is January 2014??

1st Jan 2013 - We said our vows at Amara Sanctuary Resort.

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies varies for any given year. 

We started Jan'14 with our first wedding anniversary... Didn't have much plans to go anywhere to celebrate cause I'm super huge with baby Danielle inside. And we are kinda of lazy.. No super nice lunch or dinner..

Just a simple day out in Bukit Batok Nature Park..

I bought a new wallet for my hubby cause the current one that he is using is super super cui already.

I hope he will like this one...

A simple bifold wallet from Mont Blanc.

As my lappy is dying on me... I've been toying with the idea of getting a new cheaper laptop but couldn't really decide.

My hubby went out on a weekend with the excuse of having some quality time with his friends.. but he actually went out to purchase this laptop for me!!!!!

As my anniversary gift!! 

Super super touch!!! <3 p="">

Well.... I can't say this is exactly how a girl wants to spend her wedding anniversary but I am glad to have this unromantic hubby of mine to spend this special day... in a simple way.

And a little pregnancy update...

Currently I'm at week 33.. Had my OB gynae visit last week and we are super happy to hear that Baby Danielle is growing fine..

At week 32 & 5 days, she weighs 2.2kg...

My gynae, Dr Tseng is pretty sure that Baby Danielle won't arrive early as all my statistics shows that I have a low risk pregnancy.. everything looks normal and healthy..

My baby bump is super huge now...

Trying to find a comfortable position to sleep is like mission impossible. My center of gravity has also change.. I can't walk to fast or I will trip and fall... So now i walk like a duck..

However I"m super delightful to hear that Danielle is growing fine and she has long legs!!! Yeah!!

I'm not going to be afraid that she is going to be a shortie like mummy!! ^_^

More updates on my pregnancy as I will be visiting my Dr Arthur Tseng every fortnight.

Last Day of Year 2013

It's the last day of Year 2013...

Time to reflect and think back what you've achieved or didn't achieved this year..

Year 2013 is an eventful year for me.. 

Because..

• On New Year's Day... I got married to a man who loves me lots!
• Because of my wedding, I meet up with my Dad whom I haven't seen for more than 13 years.
• Shortly after, I lost my dad to cancer...
• I gain 2 half brothers
• We are thankful that we have our jobs even thought it may not be a smooth sailing but what is life if there isn't any storm for you to overcome.
• Families ties might not have strengthen but my brother knows that I will always be there for him.. beside, I'm just a phone call away.
• We thank god for the newest additional to our new Lee Family..

As today is 31 December 2013.... I can't help but reminisce what we did same time last year in 2012....

On 31 Dec 2012 - We were busy preparing our wedding...

In year 2013, we are busy preparing our little treasure, Baby Danielle's arrival... I can't wait to see her and hold her in my arms... But right now, I'm contented to feel her playful kicks and punches in my tummy...

This ultrasound might look abit scary but it's a rare view of my Baby Danielle...

We can see that she has fatty cheeks..

Food for Thought!

Have a great day to countdown to Year 2014..

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Xoxo,

December.. the most wonderful time of the year

I've always love December! Cause its Christmas time and its' the end of the year! However this year… there is something more for me to look forward.

1. Shopping for Christmas Gifts & DIY gift wrapping...



One of the fuss free way… printing on kraft paper bag..



2. To make myself vainer than before… Hehehehhee

Face is getting rounder as I approach my 3rd trimester… another 2 more months till I pop.

I'm so in love with my Novalash Eyelash Extension.

Quite a couple of years back, I did eyelash extensions at one of those far east - bugis kinda of store that do those hair extensions and eyelash extensions….

I tried on eyelash extension (in a cluster kind)… was quite amazed that it looks like I'm having a false eyelashes on but in terms of length.. not as long as a false eyelash.. but it's wasn't very natural and I personally find the adhesive that they used were kinda strong and it sting my eyes. Especially after I wash my face… That was my first try on eyelash extensions.

It was till recently when I got pregnant and for some reason, I keep tearing whenever I put on my false eyelash.. So I decided to try eyelash extension again. Wanted to try browhas one. But the pricing was kinda expensive. So I kept an lookout in Groupon to see if there any good deals. And I saw 1…

Novalash Eyelash Extension…..

Gave it a try and I like it. They did it strand by strand… and the adhesive wasn't very strong. It's so natural that I didn't feel like I have anything on my eyelash…

It's been almost 2 weeks plus since I did this set of eyelash… have been tempting to go back again to do touch up… But it cost me $99 for touch up.. Hmm…… Or maybe I should try out Browhas one… since without groupon deal.. their pricing is almost on par…

3.  Presents for myself and my husband!

Got this watch as my birthday gift… This is my 2nd Fossil Watch.

Got myself a Fossil Watch as a belated birthday present for myself. This is my 2nd Fossil watch and the first one that I have lasted me since 2006 till now… I'm not the kind of gal who like to change their watch as they match their outfits. So Im happy with just 1 or 2 watches.. 

Told hubby that I wanted this bag as Christmas gift.. knowing that he won't walked into the shop and get it for me.. So I did… and he paid for it! Yeah!!!

Givenchy - Pandora… you're finally mine… You're going to be my staple bag! ^_^v

Hubby told me that he wanted to purchase this guitar…. I actually secretly purchased him something else. So I pretend and say this guitar should be his Christmas gift...

And since our wedding anniversary is just days away… this Mont Blanc wallet.. shall be his wedding anniversary gift!

Even Baby Danielle has presents too… Her clothing that I purchase during Black Friday sales arrived just in time for Christmas..

I couldn't resist shopping for more clothing for Baby Danielle!!! All those little girls clothing are super super cute!!!

4. Our baby moon trip to BKK during Christmas week

Did I also mention about my favourite Christmas bokeh photography???!! So love those lightings in Orchard Road…

Going to edit some for the pictures and share it here…

Have a great holiday!!

Xoxo,

A little pregnancy update..

It's been a while since I last update on my pregnancy....

My pregnancy has been a wonderful journey so far and I can't ask for more cause it's really a delightful experience to receive playful kicks from my baby..

I can't believe that I'm already in my 3rd trimester... everything seems to happened too fast and too soon!!!!
Believe me, it seems like afew months ago, when I just discovered that I'm pregnant, now I'm just 2 months shy of giving birth..

My baby bump at week 28....

Tummy is getting bigger and I have difficulties finding a comfortable position to sleep a t night...

Out with hubby on a Saturday morning to attend our first wedding for this year..
When I attended the church wedding, it makes me miss my own wedding so much...
It's a good thing that we invest slightly more on our actual day photography, cause days like these calls for a reminisce!

Thanks to Water Retention.... My fingers are getting fatty and at certain time, I can even wear my wedding rings.

My baby bump at week 29

The latest visit to Dr Tseng few weeks ago.. glad to be able to finally see baby's face.
(Did lot of talking to her via my tummy!!)

Right now, Baby Danielle has turn her head downwards. Which Dr Tseng thinks that it's a good sign...
Every thing looks healthy and normal via the scan.. So thankful!!

Currently Baby Danielle is a little bit on a smaller size but I think I'm not too worried cause during these last lap of pregnancy, I'm going to feed myself with lots of food!!

Christmas mood is everywhere now.. even in office! I'm surprise that I managed to drag myself to work.
Can't wait for my little trip with hubs to BKK!!

I'm keeping my fingers cross that the protest will get better by Christmas time...

Have a great weekend ahead!!

XOXO,
Felicia

Exploring Gardens By the Bay..

 To those who know.. I did my pre wedding photo shoot in Gardens by The Bay...

And till today... after being married for 10 months, I still missed that place!! Especially Cloud Forest..
So on a lazy weekend without any program, I went online to purchase the admission tickets and set off to GBTB.

These are some of my favourite shots take during my pre wedding photo shoot @ GBTB

So here are my memories of Garden By the Bay as I venture in again with Baby Dani inside me... as i walk along the "Paradise Fall", I rub my tummy and tell baby dani that mummy and daddy did our prewedding photo shoot here... and the above photo are the ones tat I super love!

On the side note.. I'm currently at my final lap of my pregnancy!! @ Week 28 now~

All these happens too fast and so soon, it's going to end.

Tummy is ever growing and I can feel Baby Dani's movement every now and then... Her playful kicks are something that I will miss once she is born...

But I so can't wait to see her!!!

Waiting for Ting (Lightedpixel Pixies) to pass me my maternity shoots photos which I should be receiving around mid of Dec!!

Also can't wait to plan my baby shower with my gfs and hopefully I can do another round of maternity shoot.. This kind round without my husband!! hahahaa

Have a great week ahead!

Xoxoxo,
Felicia
