Praying to ancestor

清明时节雨纷纷,
路上行人欲断魂,
借问酒家何处有,
牧童摇指杏花村。

I think the above 诗, everyone should be very familiar with. When qing Ming festival is here, I will always remember this 诗词. Although is still about 2 weeks to qing ming, but hubby’s family always will pray to my mil 1-2 weeks earlier to avoid the crowd.

So glad that this harness came in time since it’s not really advisable to bring pram/stroller over there coz the whole thing will smell of smoke.

This is really useful, especially when I saw my sister using it! Trust me when u r pregnant, u wouldn’t want to go round chasing your child.

Seems like Yi He is observing people praying. That’s what I thought initially, but after that she suddenly said to me she want to eat the food! 真的很贪吃。

Monkey see monkey do, that’s what their age does.

While waiting for hubby and my sil to burn the offerings, both of us spend time to eat (she not me), read story books and play jigsaw puzzle. Seriously a mom’s bag is like a doreamon’s pocket.

Everybody walking pass is “enjoying” my story telling. Not sure if they are wondering why this mother so kua zhang. Well I have to do lots of action pack stuff so at least she will keep still and listen to me. Almost like crazy woman…

After praying, hubby as usual will drove to the nearest eating place to catch some bite.. even though I’m not so keen he still like to go there and eat. I’m ok with yong tau fu but not all those fried and fishball stuff, some more with Yi He. So both of us stick to vegetables and toufu ..

Yi He saw this elephant soft toy at the baby chair, insisted that she want to carry and made the elephant sit with us. Best part when I say she can’t bring it home, she kiss goodbye to the elephant and say she will be back.
I can only pray hard that the soft toy is not dirty… with her hugging and kissing it … *sweat*

image

Don’t know why the sudden affection to soft toys. Recently she has been hugging my Mickey mouse like a baby, pat, kiss and ask me to kiss too before going to bed. Previously she can just kick her soft toys out of her bed. Not sure if she’s preparing for baby mei mei arrival.

Before my pre-natal pilates class starts, we faster went back home to have a nap. Lucky is held at my place so I can sleep till shiok (although still feel that is not enough)

The pre-natal pilates is real good,  at least for me, I feel. Really helps a lot on my sciatica nerve pain (in pregnancy). I didn’t had pre-natal pilates for my #1 so I really suffer throughout my 3rd trimester.

Benefits of pre-natal pilates:
(Taken from inspiremum)
“InspireMum™ Pre-natal Pilates is an ideal workout for mums-to-be due to their many benefits associated to core muscles necessary to support the baby. As your pregnancy progresses, InspireMum™ Pre-Natal Pilates helps to increase your strength, flexibility and endurance. The five layers of muscle, which make up the pelvic floor, become stronger and therefore, resisting tears.

By strengthening the lower back muscles, the posture during pregnancy is improved, helping to minimize low back strain. Improved circulation leads to more energy and can lessen hemorrhoids, varicose veins and swelling of extremities. Strengthening the pelvic floor can also reduce urinary incontinence. It also lengthen the tight muscles, like the hamstrings, means fewer leg cramps”

I choose them because they can do private classes at your preferred location with a reasonable rates. I have centers which quote me at ridiculous pricing.
Anyway lucky the instructors assign to us is quite good too.

After the class, hubby and Yi He still sleeping, so shiok … so while waiting for them, I ate the no-no food, all this cannot consume in front of my girl! Must hide and enjoy – me time!
