The little drummer boy...

18 weeks and the drumming has started. And it feels really cute...

The drumming has started actually a couple of weeks back, but on a really irregular and random basis. But it has been more regular this week, especially since I started using the Baby Plus unit... something which I blogged about in my earlier post.

It's an amazing feeling and I thank God for this reminder that the little one is giving me to say that... 'Hey mommy... I'm here and doing great!'

He seems to be reacting to music as well... tried playing some Mozart pieces over my iPad and he seemed to move more to it. The 'Mozart Effect' they say... Looks like I'm gonna be filling my days with some occasional Mozart!

Simply put, according to Wiki, the 'Mozart Effect' means:

• A set of research results that indicate that listening to Mozart's music may induce a short-term improvement on the performance of certain kinds of mental tasks known as "spatial-temporal reasoning;"^[1]
• Popularized versions of the theory, which suggest that "listening to Mozart makes you smarter," or that early childhood exposure to classical music has a beneficial effect on mental development;

Apart from the development internally, I've also started growing externally. I can't fit into 80% of my clothes now and surviving on a handful, and buying some off ASOS.com at really great prices! $30-$40 for a maternity dress!! Check that out!

And because of the recent shopping, I've also started to clear my wardrobe to make space for the new buys. Not that I intend to shop alot, but I figured that I won't be wearing my regular dresses for the next 8 months at least (even after I give birth), so I might as well put them in cold storage and create more space for things that I will really need...

And so, in comes the handy vacuum packs that I bought from Cold storage!

Freed up hangers from the clothes that I cold storaged!

The vacuumed packed clothes!

And the Da Hubbz has been great!

Giving me space in HIS wardrobe cause mine's already filled with bags and stuff... u know...

Other than some clearing up, we've also been spending some time thinking of names for the little one. Our focus has been on boys' names, since Dr. Paul seems pretty sure that the little tike's gonna be a boy... to be confirmed in two weeks' time.

So we have kinda shortlisted "Caleb" - which means 'faith, devotion, whole-hearted'.

I also like "Nathaniel", but that seems quite a mouthful for our family...

Hrrm... Caleb Nathaniel Ang... Hur hur... Food for thought!
