2nd Trimester!

We've made it to the second trimester! I can't believe we are 1/3 of the way there. Sometimes I still can't believe this is all happening. Omg, we're gonna be parents!!!!!

So this Saturday, I totally got all freaked out. The original plan was for me to go back to Taiwan about a month and a half b4 the due date and stay for one month afterward. But then the family is saying that it's better to stay in Taiwan for at least 4 months after the birth so that the proper follow up care and procedures can be taken. But leaving my duties for four months is a long time... so they were saying I could leave my baby there and come back to KL. Seriously my heart just broke. I know all the relatives are just dying to help me raise my baby, but I kinda wanna do it on my own. Well, not completely on my own... but you know what I mean. Anyway, we're trying to work something out now. Maybe I can fly back to KL for 3-4 days at the end of each month to take care of the paperwork... or maybe I'll just have to teach Yi-Hua how to do that stuff. It's not hard, but it's just time consuming. Plus he's usually got his own stuff to do, and paperwork isn't his kinda thing.

Today there's talk from his parents that they want to help us hire a maid. I don't know whether to be thrilled or worried. I've never really thought bout it too much b4, but I guess it would be nice for someone else to do the cleaning...? heh btw/ I haven't cleaned in ages... that's something I really gotta work on.

Right now, we're in the process of hiring another salesman to take on my area. It was already exhausting before doing office stuff in the morning and the running sales in the afternoon. But now, even the thought of it drains me. However, for now, I still have to make my sales calls. But if my delivery is too heavy, at least Yi-Hua will help me carry it in.

It's strange... I haven't been able to gain weight yet. And for some reason, my face, (as observed by other people) has been getting pointier. So when they ask me if I'm losing weight, I say NO!!! I'm 3 months pregnant! I'm praying that all the fat is moving to my tummy to create a nice lil home for our baby.

Seems like I've been waiting for this next ultrasound forever! I simply can't wait til the profile of the baby and the heartbeat appear on the screen again. It really is an amazing thing.
