Still Such a New Feeling!

This whole idea of having a baby is still such new news to us! There are so many things to think about... what to do... what NOT to do. I know you're sposed to learn a lot of this with experience, but as you know, this is a first for both of us. (Unless Yi-Hua has some hidden fam that I have yet to find out about) hehe Anyway, I have been doing a lot of research on the net, but it's nothing like reading and flipping through a book. Yesterday, we went to the bookstore and I bought a guide that will hopefully serve as my bible through this. It's called Your Pregnancy Week by Week.

So far it's been pretty interesting. I'm mainly concerned bout whether or not I'm eating the right kind of food in order to provide the nutrients and vitamins that the fetus needs. I want a big fat cute lil baby with rosy cheeks! Ahhhhh... I'm still dying to tell everyone, but alas I mustn't. Shopping has automatically become a little different. I notice we are both lightly scanning the baby isles now. Diapers... strollers... clothes...bottles, etc. Omg it's like a whole other shopping world out there. Also, I never used to notice babies or little kids when I shopped, but now they're like everywhere! And sometimes I'll think awww... she's/he's cute... and other times, it's like OMG... you kidding me? But no no no, I must stop thinking that way. ALL BABIES are BEAUTIFUL... right? =P All I remember is the episode of Friends where Ross and Rachel are in the OBGYN office and Ross says to Rachel, "Ugly baby judges you." Ok, that probably makes no sense to whoever is reading this, but it just cracks me up. =P

Just preparing by purchasing some photo albums!

Anywho, I think the biggest lifestyle change I must work on is sleeping earlier. For some reason, I am a fan of desperately fighting fatigue til 1 or 2 AM every morning. So yesterday, it was like 10:30pm and I told Yi-Hua to tuck me in. He's like, "U serious? You're gonna jump outta bed like in 20 minutes or less." I stubbornly told him that I could fall asleep... for the good of the baby, ya know? Minutes later, I was still awake and totally alert. Of course I couldn't give my husband the satisfaction of telling me "I told you so," so I waited til at least half hour before I walked back out giggling... hehe my bad. Anyway, I'll work on that. So yeah, it's day 2 of week 5! Supposedly this little 1mm-grain-of-rice sized baby has some totally miraculous stuff happening to it. Little ittle ittle baby, WE LOVE YOU THIS MUCH ALREADY!!!!!
