Bambino's playmates

Its an exciting time. Lots of my good friends whom I grew up with are expecting their first child and they're all due in the couple of months ahead.

SS - due in early August
AK - due in mid Sep
YN - due in mid Oct
Myself - Bambino's due in end Nov

YN and SS are my family friends. Our parents were university mates and since we were very young, we've all had weekly gatherings to play tennis/table-tennis/mahjong. Out of all the kids, we're the only three girls and were therefore rather close. So, it was with sheer delight that we found ourselves pregnant in months apart one another. (We didn't purposefully plan it though!! haha!) !

AK is a very close church friend of mine and was the first to help "diagnose my pregnancy"!

I remembered when I shared with a few of them about expecting Bambino, we all got very excited and discussed how our children can be one another's playmates, and we can then all register our kids for primary one together, six years down the road!

Some of us were even saying how we can start our own enrichment classes, since we have a ready pool of kids...e.g. get YL to volunteer teaching them piano/guitar or giving them physics lessons. Talk about starting them young!

Anyhow, it was with great joy when I received YN's email yesterday announcing the arrival of SS's bundle of joy!! "Hi, just to let you know, SS has delivered this afternoon (2nd Aug), about 2pm. Baby Kih Shaw is 3.17kg and 50cm in length." YN was so considerate that she even emailed me a photo that she had snapped of Kih Shaw. Cute!! :)

So the first of the new generation has arrived!

Being the "youngest", Bambino has to wait for his turn to make his entrance into this world. But am sure that when the time comes, Bambino would be excited to meet all his new playmates! :)
