I started to fiddle with BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier One, the moment I had my hands on it .What I love about BABYBJÖRN Carrier One that its design wins the other brand of carriers hands down.

Papa Koh feel comfortable and look who else is comfortable and happy? haha

Be warned, Papa Koh tends to perspire easily and I was afraid that carrier will be damped and Royce will be feel uncomfortable. However, because of its mesh material , it is breathable for Royce and he didn't perspire as much as I thought. The mesh material makes him less warm compared to those cotton material carrier.

Baby Royce started to fall asleep with the rhythmic movement that Papa Koh created when he walked.


The best part with the carrier, it wasn't damp (soaked in Papa Koh's perspiration, I mean ...)  and Royce sleepily open his eyes just when the walk was over.

The Man of Steel  moved "mountains" onscreen and it had also evoked emotions from me, during the scene whereby the parents had to send "Superman" to earth to protect him.

Before I became a parent, I read stories of how parents protect their kids. I wondered where they got their courage from. I wondered if I will have the same courage that they had, if it happens on me.

It was also one of the reasons why I didn't want to have kid. I was afraid I will turn away in the face of danger.

However, that scene from the "Man of Steel" movie had led me to a conclusion. We are Super Parents.
It is a paternal instinct where one way our emotions help us decide is by creating a physical response to information we don't even realize we've noticed. When we slam on the brakes at the sight of an unexpected car, for example, it's because our subconscious mind has recognized danger and translated it into a flash of fear; we decide to act without any conscious thought.

And we are Super Parents, we changed diapers for our kids. We teach them the way we think are right. We will make sure our kids are looked after first before we look after ourselves. So I will never think myself and my husband as the worst parents again.

Royce changed our lives completely. And it made us love and cherise our parents even more.

So kudos to parents and parents to be , you are Super Parents !

With all those articles in mind, it boost my confidence, and on top of that , I have asked my gynae for advice. She told me that I could jog as long as I am not so out of breathe.


So I am glad that I completed that 10km marathon (with a bit of walking included), it was one of my greatest acheivement ever. I also hoped that my story could inspire other pregnant mothers whom are joggers before to continue jogging during their pregnancy.

I was 3 months when running Yellow Ribbon Run  6 months pregnant when running Standard Chartered - with Papa Koh

However, do bear in mind that to consult your gynae before you start running. And when you are approaching your third trimester , you may want to do a fast walk instead . :)
