Went off for my 2nd appointment at Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital for my routine checkup with Adrian and Sabrina.
Today the hospital is very crowded. There were so many pregnant women around. And for most of the pregnant ladies around, this is not their first pregnancy. Many came with their kids. SOme of their elder kids are much more older than Sabrina by a few years I guess. However there are also a few with kids that could be just a year apart and they are pregnant with their 2nd or 3rd child. We really took our hats off them. How in the world can they manage 2 kids who are one year apart and pregnant with their 3rd kid at the same time? For me, with Sabrina, it's already enough as she is such a handful. But one thing to note, these ang mohs' ways of bringing up their kids are very very different from Asians. They do not believe in hitting a child as that is considered a form of abuse.
Anyway since the hospital is so crowded today, there were many kids around. So Sabrina happily played at the playground area alongside with some kids her age. There was this very sweet looking ang moh girl. She looks very rosy and chubby and very well behaved. I think she should be around 1.5years old. Her mother is pregnant with a 2nd child most likely in her 5th or 6th month. This girl was so cute. She just stood there and watched the other kids play. No fuss no nothing. Sabrina was very funny too. She went to her and tried to carry her from the back a few times. Our worry was more if she drops the girl but the mother was very sweet and kept telling us it was alright. After a while, we gave Sabrina some biscuit and this girl happened to be nearby so we gave her a piece and she gave us the sweetest smile and winked at us. That really melted our hearts. Adrian was commenting if our 2nd kid is so well behaved, he would not mind having a 3rd child. I told him dream on. Hahaha. I am very happy with 2 kids.
