A hectic 2 weeks

Over the past couple of weekends, we've been hosting housewarming gatherings for close friends and family. What a busy 2 weeks! *whew* Now that all that's done, we can finally settle into full nesting mode waiting for baby L to arrive!

Many thanks to friends and family members for your wonderful gifts and hongbaos!
 

Pressies for the baby!

 

Some housewarming gifts

Catering for 4 separate groups of people can be overwhelming. But we somehow managed to get it done. Hubby has been superb, rushing to order food, collect them and cooking for some of our friends. I could only contribute little treats in the baking department.

 

I baked mini chocolate muffins for my guests :)

 

I walked by a stationery store and saw these uber cute Disney baby rattle toys! They are washable and I thought it'll make such an adorable Christmas gift for baby L. So I bought 1 on impulse and hope that he'll like rattling it!

 

shoooo cute!

Hubby turned 29  21 *opps* last week and we had a mini pre-celebration for him because I'm too big and clumsy to plan anything too elaborate. So I promised I'll do better next year for his big 3 *opps*.

Then on his actual birthday, I brought him to Wooloomooloo for his annual atas steak treat! The USDA Prime ribeye was awesome! I downed all 12 ounces of it despite being really full. The steak was perfectly done in my opinion, but the menu in general is almost identical to Morton's. The standard of the steak was pretty on par, but the appetizers and sides pale in comparison to Morton's. Morton's was still a clear winner in the steakhouse department, at least for us.

Happy Moo-day husband of mine!

But this, this little chocolate devil stole my heart. The creaminess of the ice cream, the texture of the cake and the oozing chocolate lava is just pure heaven. It wasn't too sweet, it was perfect. It was one of the, if not, the best chocolate lava cake I've tasted. This is a definite MUST ORDER!

 

And because we were celebrating 2 occasions, they very kindly doodled two celebratory notes on the plate for us.

 

*I miss this sooo much!*

It's been almost 2 months since we've last watched a movie, and probably a couple more after I've popped before another movie night together. This prompted me to splurge on awesome seats to pamper ourselves, the parents-to-be. The hubs wanted to shop around Vivo-city while I was desperate to get into the Gold Class lounge. He stopped by a nut shop to browse some nuts and I looked at my phone and realized we were running out of time to chill in the lounge. So I whipped out the pre-collected tickets from my bag and held it in front of his face to tell him that we needed to go. The look on his face was priceless.

 

Movie night!

And then it was the Philips Carnival Sale that I've been waiting super impatiently for! I was so afraid that I would pop before I can get to the event to grab the remaining baby stuff but we made it!! So we got the Avent sterilizer and warmer set for S$159 with free bottles and baby pillows, the new born starter kit with a set of clothes and some bottles for S$35 and some storage cups for a friend at 10 for $22. Really good deals!

Baby Loots!

So all in all, it has been a very eventful couple of weeks. This is perhaps our last weekend alone so we're gonna make full use of it and spend as much time as we can together before the baby mayhem begins. I'm so nervous and yet I can hardly wait! Oh baby baby when can we see you? :)
