Hello World! This is my name card!
My name is Matthias and I am a 3.8kg baby delivered via natural birth with assistance (vacuum) at Mount Elizabeth Novena. I’m a big baby, the nurses say!
Finally after a long and laborious 9 months, our bundle of joy has arrived. From water bag burst to actual delivery, it took me 7 hours and full dose of epidural. By the time I am suppose to push, I am numbed. Based on mental strength and muscle memory to push.
1 day old baby Matthias being pushed into the ward. The first thing I did was fish out his 1 day old milestone card. I must capture his everyday before he grows up into a big boy! Newborn is always the cutest! He was crying as it was time for feeding! But first, picture!
So now you know that I love taking pictures of Matthias even if he has barely changed in term of physical size and look. I believe every other mother loves to do the same too. 
With that said, during the wait for his big debut, I designed milestones card to mark Matthias week by week and month by month growth. Husband and I love black and white or anything basic and simple. Solid colour with minimal prints.
But having pretty milestones cards are not good enough, therefore I made pretty backdrop for his shoot as well! Moreover, the backdrop can also be used as swaddle cloth, bed overlay, blanket and etc. Multi purposes we say!
As well, I was told by my mom that a kid should not share the same bed-sheet with adult as we sweat while we sleep and etc, and a baby skin is so delicate and sensitive, it can cause rashes. Therefore I always used these back drop as the bed sheet overlay every time we want to co-sleep or put Matthias on our bed.
Further into the milestone project, I thought to myself, mm, week by week and month by month milestone cards are not enough! We need to have more fun! So other than week and month milestone cards and I have rolled over and etc, I decided to make some speech card! It was so fun thinking what Matthias will say/sing. Example to singing nursery rhyme “Rain, rain, go away!” when it rains!
So it really rained when Matthias was suppose to be out sun bathing as he has mild jaundice! What a let down! Matthias haven’t sunbathe for 2 days since discharge! Sighs!
Before I end off, to celebrate the same birth month as Matthias, for babies born in the month of April 2016, you can email to hello@chapelic.com to request for 4 pieces of milestone cards for free!
Please let me know your preferred speech, otherwise it will be based on your baby date of birth and we will snail mail you the week or month milestone cards! You will be required to take a snap shot of his DOB as per birth certificate to qualify! Remember to blur out unnecessary details when sending us the birth certificate! Or just zoom in to the DOB!
Look out for this space if you would like to see more creative works!
XOXO,
Agnes.
