Time felt so slow yet so quick since the COVID-19 outbreak, the best part of MCO(then CMCO, now RMCO) was having Joe to work from home during my second and third trimester where things can really go out of control with only me and Alyssa at home. At least that's what I thought and I can't imagine! He then became jobless(definitely not something we should feel totally happy about) prior to my EDD so he's at home most of the time. He has helped me so much from keeping Alyssa busy, brought her out for some activities so I can get more rest, bought us meals by going in and out several times a day & made sure he showers once he's home... And when we sense that labour is happening, he helped to ease my pain by offering back massage while I'm trying to labour at home for longer period of time, to remain calm and drop Alyssa off to our in-laws.. & of course, he was right there with me throughout my labour. In fact, I was very mad at him earlier on the same day, I also threw tantrums at him the night before. Gosh... I felt so bad after seeing how helpful and supportive he was during labour.

Before we had kids we lived life as adventurous as possible–we had dates and travel plans, explore new cafes or restaurants, spent weekends going to movies or road trips, just the two of us. Ever since Alyssa came into our lives, we quickly switched from "husband and wife" to "mum and dad". It felt as though we never had the chance to enjoy the honeymoon period after being married. But everything was all well planned and we were really lucky!
