First Baby Talk (30 August 2008)

Thomson Medical hospital had organised a baby talk session for parents to be at Marina Mandarin hotel. I happened to chance upon its advertisement in a Straits Times Supplement. Seeing that it only costs S$16 per couple, I chided Dear to sign up together with me.

The talk was rather good as the doctors shared information of the types of food that we should increase in consumption and the types of food we should decrease in consumption. Dear seem to have noted these information in his head as he actually becomes very concerned about my food intake after the talk. He stopped me from eating my favourite ice cream, fast food, etc.. He said that they are unhealthy for the baby and should be avoided..haha..

Besides food concerns, there were also lessons on how to help the baby workout when the child is born. Its called Baby Yoga. Rather interesting topic. Try telling baby yoga to my mum 25 years ago, she will probably give you a blank look. Anyway, we watched the live demonstration of babies exercising in action. It was rather interesting. Both Dear and I had to remember the steps so that 1 year later when baby is born and ready for the baby yoga, we were both remember how to do it for him/ her.

The whole session ended with some live classical music performances. It was indeed a very enriching course for both of us. The $16 we paid for entitled us to refreshments and 2 very attractive goodie bags which comprised of baby toys, milk powder for both baby and mother, dinner sets for a boy and girl. It was our first baby talk and it will not be the last. We both agreed that we should attend more of such talks in the near future.

P.S: Bought a new Olympus Underwater Camera and a new 4 in 1 colour printer from the fair that day. We want to capture more baby moments and have it printed out in future.. Kiasu parents right.... =p
