Summer So Far

The Seet family is back in Spore for a summer break. Haven't had time to blog. Been too busy with family and friends.

We arrived on the 12th of July. Just Cha Cha and me. Cha Cha did perfect on the flight considering that it was his first time flying. Babe arrived on the 16th. Days were filled with bringing Cha Cha for Gymboree classes and then Babe had to fly to Bangkok for work. Cha Cha had great time hanging out with his cousin, JC. It's fun to watch them play and then get into flights. Totally hilarious!

On 26th July, we left for Maldives without Cha Cha. Sure, we were worried, wondering if he's going to be fine without us. But thank God, he was fine. He had lots of fun hanging out with his cousins. He didn't seem to have missed us when we came back this morning.

Anyway, enjoy the pics. We're about halfway through summer holidays. Dreading when it ends.

Little Cha Cha slept through most of the flight. Did very little crying.

Cha Cha loving his Gymboree classes.

He was meant to drop a toy in the tunnel but he decided that it would be more fun to go through the tunnel!

Hanging out JC.
At Maldives! Totally loved it! Making plans to head back already. But this time, we'll bring Cha Cha.

Looking down from our water bungalow.

Yes, still loving it!

Beautiful sunset!
The man that made the trip all the more special. Babe used to hate beach resorts. But I love beach resorts and over the years, he accommodated me and went along to the various beach resorts. Slowly, he began to relax, chill and do nothing and he started liking beach resorts too. Thanks Babe for always willing to try what I like and yes, for loving me!

The Journey Officially Begins

We were at court yesterday with Cha Cha. It was probably the second most important day of my life. The first being the wedding. During the court hearing, I was kinda overwhelmed but at the same time, I had to keep everything in. Dana and Pauline were with us at the court.

When I look back at the past six months. I must say that we've come a long way with Cha Cha. The past six months were kinda nerve wrecking as well because there were times that I thought that his birth mum might come back. Truth be told, if she did come back, I would surrender him to his mum and yes, will be sad but I know it's God's will. But thankfully, his mum didn't want him back. She did however leave a letter for him. Which we will give it to him in due time.

The first few weeks when we had Cha Cha, it was really difficult to a certain extent because I've never really been a mum before. What do I know about raising a four month old? Thankfully, there was support from home. Mum and Jacqui flew in and then the rest of the family came for CNY. There were times that were hard because we're alone in Hong Kong. But did the thought of throwing in the towel ever crossed my mind? No, it never because I knew that this is the gift that God has given us.

Then it got a little easier. Babe adjusted to be a dad really well. He took on the role well. Every Sunday, it became a routine for us to go to church, have lunch, then hang out at home till about 6 and head for the pool. After pool, Babe will bathe little Cha Cha and we'll have dinner together. Babe is an amazing dad. Whenever he heads out for his trip, he'll try to make it as short as possible and never over the weekends. The moment he heads back, he would play and cuddle little Cha Cha. Without Babe, I don't think I'll be able to do this.

We're leaving for Spore next Tue. It's going to be interesting as I'll be catching the flight with Cha Cha alone. Babe will arrive in Spore on Sat. Babe will be working out from Spore for that month. We're thankful that his boss generously agreed to it. But it's not going to be all fun. Babe is going to be travelling a fair bit. Cha Cha and me will tag along if it's possible but looking at it, it might be hard. But it's fine, we're glad to be in Spore with family and friends.

And before I end the post, I really want to thank everyone for their love, support and prayers. We couldn't have done it without all of you. The real journey begins now. Continue praying for us and we're also praying what's Gods will for us next. To have a biological one or to adopt another.
