I have a confession to make — it hasn’t just been the renovation and the move that I’ve been busy with (although those are still in full swing). I’ve been carrying around (literally for nine months!) some pretty big news that has (finally) just made her arrival.
Little C was born 12 days ago and I am still not over the wonder. Perhaps I never will be — I wouldn’t know, never having been a parent before. Now that I am I’m ecstatic and nervous and excited and scared all at once. “Please let me be good at this one thing,” I think to myself as we stare at each other over her 3am meal. And as she nods off to sleep with a ghost of a smile, which isn’t really a smile at all but just some gas according to her doctor, I know this is going to be the most amazing ride of my life.
I have no clue when my posting with regain a semblance of regularity. Right now the only meals I am serving are hers (although I have sneaked in a few items of sustenance for C and I). I’ll be back as often and my and little C‘s ever changing schedule allows — after all, I now have more people to cook for and more reason to document our family recipes 🙂
C and I couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas gift! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! 🙂
Oh, my goodness, Joey! This is huge news, darling! 🙂
Congratulations! May you and your family have all the best in the world.

Hello,
I just came across your blog and enjoyed it very much. I'm a banquet manager and write a blog about the daily aggravations that go with my job…from cranky chefs to nasty customers and everything in between. I hope you enjoy it. Please visit and leave a comment. Have a great day!
So You Want To Be a Banquet Manager
But most importantly…congratulations on your baby. All the best.
Congratulations!
That is the best present you could ever have…
You're not just a wifey anymore but a Mumsy =)
What a glorious surprise! I just visited your site again (after a few weeks) thinking that maybe the move is over and you're back but lo and behold! tiny little feet greeted me! Congratulations Jo and I wish you all the best! God bless you and your family!
How wonderful! Goodness, but you've brought back so many wonderful memories. My youngest is nearly 18. The time flies, so inhale the lovely scent that only babies have and enjoy. Congratulations.
Congratulations, I am so happy for you Joey. Now I know why you never made it to Penang despite the fact that I lured you with lots of Penang food porn on RM. 🙂
Thank you all once again! 🙂 We've been enjoying every moment! Even the 3am zombie moments…ok, maybe not as much as the "is that really a smile?" moments 🙂
OH MY! Big congrats. Im late to the party but Im so happy for you.
Warmest wishes to you and your big family!!!
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy!

Joey – same here. I cannot believe I am three months behind with this amazing news!!! I guess our little girl (1 year and 2 months already) – is keeping me too busy and on my toes all the time (and away from my computer!)
Lots of good wishes and happy moments with your little bundle of joy!
(PS I kept my pregnancy a secret from my readers as well, but only had to do that for 7,5 months, as N. was born prematurely)..
Thank you for your warm wishes Pille! I definitely know how the little ones can keep one busy! 🙂 N is adorable!
I'm a wee bit late. As usual, congratulations Joey!
Thanks Zita! 🙂
