Yesterday, I spent a long time going through our stash of digital photos. The last time I did that was probably a year ago.
It is a love-hate process, I tell you. Utterly laborious but yet so enjoyable. I know, I am a confused person at times.
There are so many gems which reminded me of the beautiful moments that I've forgotten. It is yet another reminder that I should whip out my camera a lot more frequent.
Then I came across a series of baby photos.... ohh...
When I laid eyes on this awesome photo of my cute first-born, I chuckled so loud that my boys dropped everything they were doing and dashed to be my side.
We oohhed and ahhhed together for a while as we marveled at the evidence of their various stages of babyishness. Needless to say, the boys were so tickled to see their own transformations.
My adorable poshie when he was a wee 4 months old. Taken in Jan '05.
I LOVE his expression in this photo. It was as if he was thinking 'I know I am loved and I love you too, mummy'.
I can still remember that gorgeous day and what we did with baby M while Karen K took over 100 photos of our little family.
I can still remember how he felt against my skin when I cuddled and kissed him after.
I can still remember this cute white tee which I bought from Mothercare. He had a newborn size in blue that said 'I (heart) dad' from my sis-in-law. But he outgrew it in 3 weeks. When I saw this shirt in white, I just had to buy it. It's only fair.... :P
And as I am typing this, I am smiling .....
In another few months, I will be holding another of my very own newborn. *big grin*
Ohh... the intoxicating sweet smell of a newborn! I can't wait to hold the little fingers and feel the teeny tiny toes. And the soft silky skin which I will be planting millions of kisses on....

Thanks for visiting over at my blog. Your comment sure was really helpful.
I too have this love-hate relationship with digital photos, I love the fact that we can take photos so quickly and easily and the instant 'review' is fantastic. The bit that really gets to me is the going through editing and finally printing the photos.
I do love looking at photos in an album, and Georgia, like most kids love seeing herself, we just haven't gotten round to printing them out for the last, 3 years :O
Congratulations! What absolutely wonderful news! Am so delighted for you and your family :)

Thanks everyone! :)
With so many of you praying and wishing for me that #3 is a girl, I hope we are not letting you down. :>
Winnie, congrats to you too! I would not have known.
Hi Li-ling, thanks for coming by. We stopped printing copies these days because the selection process from our tons of digital photos is simply too tedious. And it will be ridiculous to print all of them since storage would be a real issue. So looking at hard copies is now a luxury for us. :>
Congrats! Love those bb smell. :)
Wow, this is wonderful news! Congratulations!!! :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving your encouraging comments.
Here's wishing you a smooth pregnancy. Take care...
Wow!! Congrats! Hope that this will be a cute baby girl! :)
