Where did all the time went too??

Looking at the calendar right now.. and its dawn upon me that it's OCTOBER!!!

Can you imagine same time last year.. I'm walking around with my huge belly, Danielle inside snugly and warm in my tummy.

Right now.. she is bubbly, cheeky 8 month old girl.

Just a few more months to go and she will be 1 year old!! Ah~~ mama can't wait for your 1 year old birthday party! * Not that I've anything planned*

Nothing much to plan for the month of October.. as I'm getting slightly busier at work with my high season coming next month.

Went to this years's Baby Market @ Expo from 2 - 5 Oct. I'm really really really impressed that this year fair is soooooo much better to shop.

Out of the 3 visits to Baby Market from Oct'13 - Oct'14. This year is the best. With many improvement. Ques to payment are short and it's pretty fast too if there is a que. Items are all well stocked. Can you imagine that I can get to buy 2 cartons of Merries Diapers and 2 set of Nestle HA 2 milk powder and even bought a star buy Graco Playpen.

Her Children Day gift - Graco Playpen

Merries Diapers. I think I have at least 5 mth supplies here.

Of cause, I've also pre-ordered a Recaro Easy Lift Stroller and 1 carton of Baby Wipes from Japan that claims to be 99.9 purified water wet wipes.

Her very expensive Recaro Stroller which we got it at $499 from the pre order deals.

Oh!! I've also sign up a photography package for Danielle with The Studio Loft. I've been wanting to take some nice shots with Danielle cause it's always me behind the camera and no one is around to help me take nice shot with my daughter.

Selfie with Danielle is almost mission impossible too...

So I think this chance to take a studio shoot with her..
1. Mother and Daughter shoot
2. Pre-celebration for her 1 year old shoot. ^_^

Yeah!! I got the package that includes the CD of all images! Plus I will need to top up extra $15 per head for me to be included in the shoot & $30 surcharge for booking an appointment on a Sat.

I've seen the photos taken by The Studio Loft and I super love it!! I can only hope that Danielle will  be a good girl and let the jie jies / auntie help her take her nice photo!!!!

Counting down to 1 more month for her shoot and gonna hunt some nice props to bring along for the shoot!

Surviving mid week crisis...

My practising model

Being stuck at home with Danielle... When the moods strike..

This is what I do...

I snip pictures of her...

Just 2 weeks old.. and she has already captured her daddy's heart..

She is a true Daddy's Girl.

Taken this chubby shots of her when I was changing her onsie after feeding... See that she has grown quite alot... 

Grow baby grow....  all thanks to my BM & FM!! 

I decided to introduce my favorite toy, Carebears to Danielle. She seems quite interested!! Good sign!! ^_^v

Oh.. time flies and you're already 10 weeks old.

Went to PD last week for her 2nd vaccination jabs, and my chubby girl is now 5.3kg!! 

Me a proud mama cause my girl just cried for a short moment when the needle prick her and thru out the consultations... not much fuss! She cried the loudest when she is hungry!

She seems to like Grumpy Bear... even copy grumpy's expressions.

So cute!

Well in case you all wonder.. this is her full name.

As I snap more pictures of her... my hands are super itched to upgrade my camera and get a portrait prime lens.. tsk tsk...

Think I will have to wait till my next bonus payout before I can do my upgrades... unless I strike 4D lah..

Have a great week!

Solo Maternity shoot {Confetti Peektures}

Yes, you didn't read my title incorrectly. I did another maternity photoshoot just for myself.
Cause I wasn't 100% satisfy with the previous shoot... guess mainly because my hub hates to take photo and half of the time, he is giving grumpy face. And when I schedule the first photoshoot, my baby bump wasn't very prominent.

So I decided to take another one when I'm at week 35. During this time, I'm at my heaviest!!!!

In case you wanna know, this set of photos are taken by Confetti Peektures! They even provide props too! So cute!

Check out their works on their FB page: ConfettiPeektures

Haven't received all the images yet but these are the few images that Angie (the photographer) edited and sent to me..

Honestly I prefer this set of photos than the previous one. But I guess both sets have it's charm.

With this set, showing my baby bump and pregnancy glow.  The previous set, showing us a newly wed couple going to be new mum and dad... the love we gonna have for our newborn.. =)

Too bad my hub refuse to take a outdoor family portrait... cause I would love to book a session with my pre wedding photography, Oh! Dear photography for one session.. =(

Guess I will have to attempt to do one family portrait by myself.

Pss... did i mention that I am itching to upgrade my DSLR?? Hehe.. let see how long I'm able to content this itch..

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!!
