Dear Bielet :: Tuesday's Thoughts

Date: 5 Jun 2013
Event: Gynae Visit

Dear Bielet,

Mama went to the doctor today so that we could check that meimei is okay, and whether we will see meimei soon. The doctor said we can expect baby within 1 week!

Suddenly I felt a twinge of sadness as I realise that it's the last week I have with you being the sole centre of my world. Soon you will be upgraded to jiejie and there will be a little someone else to welcome in our cosy family (with two centres of my universe to protect and care for - technically not correct, but emotionally very much possible). Tears are welling up in my eyes and I don't really know why. Words evade me at this point and I struggle to express the conflicting emotions inside me.

I'm excited, of course, and I hope you never forget that Papa and Mama will still love you as much even with meimei around. Even when you become a jiejie, you are still our precious baby.

It fills me with such pride and love that you are already being such an awesome big sister.

When
I see you hug my big tummy and say "Hi baby"
You kiss my protuding belly button in the shower, just because
You rub my bump forlornly with a soft "Sorry meimei" after an accidential kick
You reply proudly to anyone asking what is your meimei's name that it is "TIFFANYCHEN"
And even when you try to share your toy balls with meimei by balancing it on my impossibly round tumtum, but eventually give up with a defeated "Baby no hands"

I know you will be a great big sister. Even though there will be tiffs, disagreements or even full-on fist fights, I know you will still love meimei because you are such a sweet tempered and lovable girl with the biggest heart.

You know
When we are sad or unhappy and never fail to cheer us up with a hug and kiss
How to act adorable to ease the tension and wriggle your way out of trouble (not the best jiejie behaviour but I'll take it!)
To sayang us when we are under the weather
How to be a good girl but also chide whoever does something to displease us

I'm so proud of how far you've come, sweetheart, and will always love you with all my heart. Papa too. And meimei had better. 

Planting a smacker on Bielet who was dozing off after her swim class last week. Looks like I'm blowing her forehead instead?! ;))

Xoxo,
Mama

P/S: Meimei must have read Mama's thoughts because she only just made her 'appearance' about 1.5 weeks after the said gynae visit. And in those 11 days, I hugged you more and gave you one more kiss every time I could, Bielet. *Beams*
