VISITORS FOR MADISON

Pregnancy and babies generate an enormous amount of excitement and interest among jaded adults.. that's my conclusion having being through my 1st pregnancy...

Thursday ( 6/8/08 ) heralded the arrival of the first of many visitors to be...it started with my grandmother - in-law ( Chris' maternal grandmother )arrived first at 11 in the morning via train from Kota Bahru. At 4 in the afternoon, ANTHONY CHUI, my brother in law ( therafter referred to as BIL -- CHRIS' elder brother) , arrived from Malaysia on a month-long stopover before going on to Japan for a holiday.

Chris' maternal Aunt Saw Peik was also scheduled to arrive on Thursday, but having arrived late in the evening she chose to stay overnight at the Crowne plaza at the airport. She is on a stopover on route to Perth from Christmas Island, to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for a hand condition.

Today heralds the arrival of MORE people... our new domestic worker CARNINGSIH is due to transfer to us today from the employment agency... this is generating an undue amount of anxiety in myself, not having employed one directly before... As far I have created a simple task timetable as well as an employment contract as recommended by the Ministry of Manpower. We will have to see how proficient at English she really is!

In the afternoon, my mother-in-law (MIL), Chris' mother will be arriving with Neil. They will be with us until after Madison is delivered.. she is the reason they are here to visit in the first place...

THE AIR IS FILLED WITH ANTICIPATION.. largely waiting for ME to POP! We are all gathering for dinner tonight at the Marriott with Dr Foo Chee Liam and Pa as well..
