Counting down here means many things.
Am counting down to the day baby Heidi makes her debute into this world. Finally managed to get all the essentials for her - cot, stroller, car seat, pump accessories, and basically the rest of the items are from her sister's days.
I try to be fair, even now that she isn't born yet. I try to treat myself as well as I did when I was pregnant with Gisele. But there are some things in life that just aren't meant to be replicated. Things are different. Things will always be different. It's hard to concentrate on the little one in the belly when there're so much distractions in the outside world at the moment - mainly the elder toddler and my newest business obsession.
That's not to say I will love her any lesser. I'm sure it will pick up once I see her.
I'm kind of excited to relive the newborn days. When the baby is so tiny you cannot believe someone so tiny can exist. It's a little miracle.
I'll miss us.

Looking to launch Kidselle in a week's time but I'm really not sure if that can be accomplished. Work began in Sept 2015 and today marks 9th month! Horrors! Is that normal??
I've attained a comfortable number of sellers, mainly photographers for launch now. Had my fair share of small victories and rejections. I must say rejections can really leave a bad taste in the mouth. It gets me momentarily 'sian' and down, but as with all the success stories and motivation quotes rampant on the internet, I remind myself that failures are necessary, inevitable and well, are supposed to make you stronger? At this current stage, after cold fb msging/whatsapping/emailing dozens of potentially sellers and getting either a No or no response, I must say I'm a little numb to it. A no is a prick, but hey, let's move on. The forest is huge enough. There're enough trees.
However for every 9 rejections that I faced, there's always this one that exceptionally warms my heart. That someone who believes despite no proven record or statistics. That someone, who like everyone else, knows virtually nothing about me, yet believes in my vision. That someone who is a glow of light in the darkest of tunnels. And I'm so grateful that I have these 'someones' who constantly gives me hope and the energy to continue.
