So I decided that I couldn't contain my excitement and made it official on facebook that I was well into my 12th week of gestation.
Seriously though, I decided to do that as I was getting quite a few messages and emails asking why I bailed out on a lot of lunch or dinner appointments etc. I felt guilty for not being able to share the good news but trust me people, I was (almost) dying to tell.
But I had to be sure. Until after the results of the blood test and the nuchal scan, at least.
So, with Dumpling (it's my not-so-secret now nickname for the baby) joining us at the end of May next year, M and I decided to do some harmless window shopping/surveying of what it out there in terms of baby products.
We were assaulted by a riot of colours and shapes and sizes. My man though seems unfazed - huh? And the price tags? I was gob-smacked. Do those things cost that much?
Case in point : plain 100% cotton bodysuits/onesies. I got a pack of 7 from Marks & Spencer when I was in London a month ago. They set me back GBP6.00 (about SGD15.00 at that time's exchage rate).
How much does the same thing cost here? Get this : SGD49.00!
I still can't believe the price difference.
I'm all for regurgitating the local economy, what with recession, but that is a tad bit too much regurgitation.
