Yes, our soon to be born son will be named Zachary. The name is of Hebrew origin, and is a variant of Zechariah. His name means “Remembered by God”. We’re leaving his Chinese name to David’s parents cos we both don’t read and write Chinese. If it was in our hands we would have merely named him Ah Yat (number 1). That’s probably not the right thing to do.

We just got our maternity portraits back from our photog last nite, and I’ve just uploaded a selection of them on our Flickr album. The photos were taken on Boxing Day when I was almost 7 months into my pregnancy. Here are some of my favourites!

I’m surprised I didn’t look like a bloated tangki minyak. Maybe this is what they call the pregnancy glow? Or perhaps it was the power of Photoshop? I hope it wasn’t the latter!

David and I would like extend our deepest gratitude and thanks to David Cheong of Raw Pixel Studios who sponsored the 2-hour photo session. We were totally relaxed being around you and we hope you had as much fun as we did! (Psst, follow him on Twitter— @royalshortness)
