You see, I love God, but I don't enjoy reading about meditation, religion and the likes. This book is mainly divided into 3 parts - pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and a balance between ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1901 On August 16, 2010 Elliott Khye Yee, our 2nd child was born. His estimated due date was on 28 August, 2010. Dr. Huam of DSH forewarned us that if Thea was born 2 weeks early, this little boy will highly likely be as well. In fact, the 2nd labour will most ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1889 I'm appalled. Why? This blog has always been about my thoughts on life, family, kids, and all things good and pure. My readers are family and friends who love not just me, but my family, especially Thea, if I may say so. If you take the time to read, the comments ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1886 This blog is not dead,well, at least not yet. There were so many things I'd like to share but was just overwhelmed with the moving, unpacking, and getting the house and environment ready for the arrival of baby E. The physical work is almost done. The apartment is left with less ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1884 This is how I see  glimpses of a little girl emerging from the little baby whom she used to be: One day several weeks ago I came in from the balcony with a load of laundry in my arms. With the bump and the laundry, I couldn't see what was before ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1880 Miracles by Celine Dion on YouTube I had one of those sleepless nights 2 days ago. At 5 in the morning, a dear friend, Juli shared with me the song Miracles by Celine Dion. As I listened to lyrics to the song, it really brought tears to my eyes. As silly ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1871 One of my recent reads have been Elizabeth Noble's "Things I want my Daughters to Know". It's quite strange reading in print what has been on my heart all these while even before I had children myself. I think it might be because my mummy left without leaving me with ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1867 On Thursday night I had my first session of yoga ever! It's not my usual choice of exercise as I would prefer something in a faster pace, like a dance class or a work out session at the gym. But as it is, it is tough enough that I need ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1862 At pregnancy week 24 I went through a Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT), a standard test taken by all pregnant women here - at least that was what I was told. I fasted in the morning and went to the hospital at 10.30am for the GTT and my monthly check up ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1857 For the past one over year that we've lived here in Dubai, we've driven passed the Dubai Zoo countless times. It's located in a strange situation, really. It's in the midst of some residences and some shops, smack right in Jumeirah. Since Thea has started to show interest and excitement ... http://jill-writes.com/blog/?p=1850
