"Sometimes, being a brother is even better than being a superhero."

To be frank, I was worried about whether Asher would welcome his baby brother with open arms after being the youngest in the family for five long years.

He had two elder sisters to protect and dote on him, he had a lot of one-on-one time with me, he was the littlest, cutest and the baby amongst us. That all changed when Ansel came along because suddenly, this boy became a big brother and a middle child.

Thankfully, he was over the moon the moment he saw the baby and I knew he loved him just as much as I did. He would ask to carry the baby every morning, kiss him a hundred times a day, run up to him at every whimper, sing lullabies to him, pat him, hug him, and say to him "Don't be scared. Don't cry. Korkor is here."

He would also say to me "妈妈，谢谢你生弟弟 (Thank you for giving me a baby brother). We are so lucky to have two boys and two girls and I am so happy to have a brother now." Awwww. Indeed, we are so truly blessed and having seen how sisterhood bonds my girls, I am excited to see how these brothers bond as they grow up too. For now, they definitely adore each other.

They were the only ones who did a couple shot at this newborn photoshoot because I wanted to let Asher know how special he is to the baby. Four months on, he is still in love with his Didi and protects him just as a good big brother will. That makes you just as awesome as a superhero, you know?

Can't wait to see more adventures these two will embark on and yup, they will probably get into mischief together but that is also what brothers are for. Love ya both! ❤

Soon-to-be Mama and Papa of 4. Woohoo!

I had friends who were asking if this was a planned pregnancy as they had assumed we would stop at 3 and frankly speaking, five years since my last pregnancy also feels like an eternity to me at times.

The truth is we had never decided whether we would be stopping there and then, and all along, I've referred to the boy as the thirdborn rather than lastborn. In the back of my mind, I've always wanted more kids (yup, I really ❤ kids ley) yet there was a big part of me that felt like 心有余而力不足 as I wasn't sure if I could handle another since 3 was already a handful.

It took me this long to settle into a comfortable routine and be more confident of doing more. To be honest, I had a feeling I was preggie back in July yet I was still feeling unsure and overwhelmed when I saw the positive sign. "Can I do this? Is this really happening? Are we going to make it?" These were the questions that popped up in my mind.

Being the calm one, the hubby took it all in his stride and was more than excited when I told him the big news. While I was worrying about this and that for the baby and the elder siblings, he was the one who told me "Congrats to us!" which instantly dispelled the worries and made me smile.

A close friend of mine reminded me of the reality when I shared with her about this. "Of course he is happy. He is not the one who has to solo parent the kids nearly 5 days a week. You are." Yup, and I'm still determined to continue doing it without help. But the truth is this man works just as hard for the family while battling out at sea, if not harder than me. He brings home the bacon while I hold the fort at home and we just can't do it without each other.

So today, I am feeling thankful for the positivity he has shown and made me feel since we knew Baby #4 was coming. No doubt the road ahead will not be easy for us but I have faith that it will be a truly rewarding one. It might be one filled with endless late nights, soiled diapers and sibling rivalry but it will also multiply in terms of love, laughter and family bliss.

Looking forward, hand in hand. ❤

This is the boy who loves purple and pink, can do a split, loves to dance, likes his Hello Kitty shirt and is still my clingy koala despite the fact that he is turning five in two months.

"Papa says I need to be more man while Mama says it's okay to be who I am." Haha.

Yup, I know this baby boy of mine will grow up someday, which will probably come sooner than I expect, so for now, I am cherishing every bit about him.

That includes all the cute babyish things he says and does, like how he calls me his little princess, how he insists that he loves me more than I love him, how he wants me to carry him out of bed every morning, how he rushes up to me every time someone hugs me, how he doesn't like me taking photos with others, how he says he will still kiss me everyday when I am old, and how he still wants me to call him my baby.

I once told him I love the little him because he is too cute but truth is I will love him at every stage of his growing up. Just take your time to do so, my boy, to discover who you are, to chase your own dreams and to live your life. Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do and never dull your sparkle. I ❤ U!
