Chapter 5.34

Rosie is a lovely girl, happy most of the times and eat a lot ALL THE TIMES.

Hard working, downright perfectionist, stubborn, hardcore musician, that's all that she is.

Oh also a mischief to all of her brothers.

Chapter 5.33

Pardon me for the long long disappearance. It's been a long winding road since my last post - aka Rosie's birth. Rosie is well into her toddler-hood now, but we'd lost Is just few weeks after Rosie's born :( sudden heart attack grabbed away the man I most love in my life...

On the other hand, there's another addition (again) in our life. Alice was apparently pregnant just few months after I found out about mine, which explained the urgency to get hitched. Now I have a grand daughter of my own, yea that felt a lot like double bonus! Her name is Daisy and they stay with us. Rams has graduated from high school and now working part time as a painter & fast food cook. While Alice is at home most of the times, if she's not out singing for events. Actually that's a blessing in disguise, with my old age catching up, I have too much to look after.

Remi & Rob are sent to preschool every morning by Rams. Russ luckily is a high-roller in school. I just don't need to worry much about him =)

Chapter 5.32

Our long-awaited one is finally here. Say hello to Rosie Chopin. Delivering Rosie has gotta be the toughest one ever, but definitely worth the wait. The Chopins finally has someone to carry on the legacy. :))

Rosie came out like a baby rock star. Why? She SCREAMED like there's no tomorrow and one doctor wasn't enough to carry her out. That's right, she's HUGE and it's rather complicated to pull her out. Ha ha ha :')

She's very welcomed in the family. Alice did come over to say hi, that's my daughter in law to be we're talking about! Eeeps. Rams casually dropped a hint that they've been planning for the big day and it's probably coming up very soon. (seriously what's with the urge?!)

Chapter 5.31

My twins reached their first year milestone today! Rob & Remi are Tom & Jerry, Fire & Water, Yin & Yang, Ice Cream & Deep Fried. Rob talks like nobody's business. Remi is quiet most of the times, but when he screams out loud... OH LORD. None of my other boys is as powerful as he is. Rob loves meat, Remi inhales veggies. I don't know what went wrong, really. It's almost impossible to feed or clothe them as though they're twins. *inhales exhales*

My Is has become a wonderful work-at-home father. Yes, did mention 'work' because he still has to oversee some of his investments via the computer. With my heavy preggo tummy it's a miracle to have someone at dispose to take care of my daily needs. Heehee.

Okay time to nap. This tired preggo woman is.... _-_ *falls flat*

Chapter 5.30

My pregnancy is pretty full-on this time. Despite the much rest that I've been taking, I keep feeling lethargic everyday, unlike when I was pregnant with my previous boys. Tending to my garden feels so much like a chore, when it's supposed to calm me down. Is this new addition gonna be a rock star or something?

Watching my twins grow up is a joy nonetheless. With his old age catching up, Is has finally decided to retire and help me watch over the kids at home. How are we going to live? Thank God that Is grew a lot of investments since he's young, and besides, Ramsy is going to start work next month. He finally proposed to Alice. We don't really object to that, knowing that Alice is a sweet girl, but it's just their young age that worries us by a lot. Could Ramsy be just another young boy who's naively swooned by the honeymoon period? Hope not!

We went baby shopping this early afternoon and found this crib. You might start asking why it's red in color, because the doctor just revealed the sex of the baby. Yep, it's finally a GIRL!!!!! I hope the doctor was right. Because this could've meant a lot! Ramsy kindly contributed two names already, either "Rosie" or "Rachel". I think both are cute =)

Chapter 5.29

We're back from our trip! It's been lovely and totally refreshing. And it's Russ' birthday on the day we got back! Yayyyy. We bought his favorite cake and celebrated just amongst us (cos we're still recovering from jetlag). While having our cakes, he said, "Mom, do you know Alice? She's been here a lot when grandma's not around... is she a stranger or someone of our relatives?"

Russ is a bit chatty just like Rob, but I love how he could feed me information in proper sentence. Anyway. Alice coming over huh. When grandma's not around! How sneaky! So I confronted Rams thereafter.

Rams: Alice is my girlfriend...
Me: You know that you have to work hard because you're going to college soon! I don't like your girl coming over sneakily...
Rams: Who told you this? Russ? Grandma?
Me: It doesn't matter! You can bring her over here and introduce her to us, maximum once a week! Now's the time for you to concentrate on your study and pick the college and major you want.
Rams: You know what mom? I'm probably skipping college just like you did. I wanna marry her and start my own painting business.
Me: What???!
Rams: You heard me right mom. She's a lovely girl and she...
Me: Is she pregnant?
Rams: No mom I swear. We haven't done anything she's innocent and so am I.
Me: Bring her to us this weekend.

So Alice came during the weekend. Seems nice, but really young. Barely 17! I'm just afraid that they're too in love without realizing what is lying in front of them. After she left, the three of us had the conversation.

Is: Rams, we're against you getting married anytime soon. It's just not right, Alice is barely 17!
Rams: What do you know dad? You failed your marriage once!
Is: RAMSTADT!
Rams: I really love her, okay dad? I've barely had any attention from both of you, Alice has been taking care of me a lot! All you're about is another baby girl another sister! The hell with it! Aren't the four of us enough already?
Me: Ramsy you HAVE TO understand! We have a legacy to continue here.
Rams: Legacy? Without caring what actually matters more here mom? Really?
Is: Don't talk to your mom like that Ramstadt! We will not be supportive no matter what. If you really have to marry at such young age, please go ahead because we have no more space for you and your future family, nor the money.

And Ramsy just walked away... Too much for a jetlagged pregnant woman to take, really... Shits always happened when I'm pregnant...

Chapter 5.28

People talk! OMG people talk about our family! This morning Is brought me to the hospital early for a check up before our trip. But he had to come out first to get something in the car, and he overheard 'so Is..... a new young girl ...... pregnant? Poor Quincey and the four kiddos...' Seriously people need a life outside! I haven't been active in the community for a while now, people must be thinking I'm only aging at home with 4 kids that make my life topsy turvy. Oh well well well!

What do they know? I have a brilliant life! So I've been 12 weeks along now (hm yes.) with such a breeze! Even I couldn't tell that I've been pregnant at all. With that, it means I'm all safe to travel now! Woohoo! Remi has his stranger anxiety back this morning. He cried like a thunder despite the so many cajoling efforts we put into. Sighs... Gonna do some more training before we leave him with mom.

Rams has been seeing the girl a lot. He's been coming home in the evening every time. Gosh this is worrying me. Is finally had a word with him and being a sensitive boy that he is, he chooses to skip dinner and bury himself in the room since. Jees... I really need the break. Trust that when I come back all will be well... Rob is totally funny with all his words. I taught him some functional words today and he turned it into something unbelievable. It may sound funny to me now, not sure in the near future.

I said: Grab the fork.
Rob said: What the fock.

Oh. my. pop.
