Oh Baby Baby

How did the three day weekend go by so quickly? *frown* Just been back to work for 1 day, and I'm already ready for another weekend.

Anyway, random thought. I usually shed so much hair when I shower that I have to clean the drain out either every day or at most every other day. But recently, I haven't been losing much hair. But myth has it that a few months after giving birth, new mothers will lose hair like caaaarazy. Something bout hormonal changes and stuff. So basically right now, all those hairs are adding up all to be lost at once. I don't know how I feel about that. Kind of a scary thought.

Another random thought. The "pregnant glow" that people talk about. It's such BS. What it REALLY is is your face becoming more oily also due to hormonal changes and thus causing "the glow" and more zits. =P

Can you tell I'm learning a lot? hah

Anyway, here is a pic @ 6 months. I don't really know how the bump came to be. Seems like it came overnight. It's been fun so far. Knowing that there is something living/growing/breathing inside of you really does something to your outlook on life.


Recently, I've been thinking a lot about my favorite pair of jeans. I just don't know when I'll be able to wear them again. And my running a marathon by 30? I think I might just have to postpone it another 5 years. I can barely get up 2 flights of stairs w/out running out of breath, let alone run 26 miles. lol

Oh... and tomorrow... June 1st... I'm counting on finding out whether we're having a Baby B or a Baby G!

24 weeks~~~

There are good days, and there are bad days. Today was not so hot. Baby-wise all is well. I'm talking more along the lines of mental wellness.

Anyways, sometimes the fact that there is somebody growing inside of me freaks me out just a little bit, but then again, a bajillion other women go through the same thing, so it can't be that weird.

You know, being 6 months pregnant, I've gained a very decent 10-12 pounds. I haven't been having those major food cravings that people expect me to have. But I think it's just because I'm all riced and noodled out for a while. When I see this food, or even think about my next meal, this feeling that makes me a bit ill wells up inside. What I really want is PASTA, TACOS, CAESAR SALADS, CHEESEBURGERS, MUSHROOM BURGERS, a hell, just give me a big fat juicy STEAK!

I do wish my girlfriends were here with me. I need a dose of laughter and just to giggle over nothing.

Wonder when I will get a chance to visit home.

Week 23~~

I knew I would start to neglect the blog after a while. Everything has been going well. Mainly been keeping busy with work, I suppose. I've been gaining weight... like a lot more weight lately. I know scale obsession is absolutely inappropriate during pregnancy, but I can't help myself. Currently at 56.7kg now. haha actually it's still around the weight I was during my undergrad =P.

I can't believe it's almost June. Looking forward to our 2 yr anniversary.

And then July... because of my neglect... I turned a planned week-long visit from Eric into a very very short 1.5-2 day visit. I'm just lucky he's coming at all.

I'm enjoying every bit of this pregnancy so far, but part of me just wants to fast forward a couple months ahead. Although I have no idea what "being a Mommy" entails, I simply can't wait to become one!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to my Dear Mom that is all the way back in Walla Walla. I really can't remember the last time I spent this special day with her. I'm thinking maybe it's been 5+ years already. It's okay... I'll make it up to her... someday.

Yesterday, Yi-Hua and I spent the day out @ Mid Valley. We ate a nice breakfast of porridge, yau char kuai, sesame balls and more @ "I Love Yoo." Lol I was really hungry when I got there and basically ordered everything on the menu... yeah, afterwards, I was a little sorry I had done that.

Then we were off to the movie theater to purchase tix for a double feature showing of Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2 in 3D. The movies didn't start til 3, so we had time to walk around the mall first. Stopped by Clinique cuz I was nearly out of my face cleanser stuff. I have kind of a strange skin texture, but Clinique seems to take care of it for me. We still had time to kill, so we sat back at Starbucks and shared a Strawberry Frap. That would be Yi-Hua's fave Sbux drink and it is finally here in KL. After we watched the movies, we ate dinner @ Kenny Roger's Roasters before we headed back home.

All day I couldn't help but think that on this same date next year, we will have an extra little person with us!!!!

20 weeks!

Went in for another appointment today. I was sooooo hoping to be able to find out whether we're going to have a baby girl or a baby boy, but alas, our little darling decided not to let us find out. Our baby is growing at a good steady rate! According to the scan, the EDD (expected due date) is going to be Sept 17! The baby currently weighs approximately 325 grams. Still less than a pound! hehe

The only thing that worries me for now is whether our baby will come early. I don't think Yi-Hua can go back to Taiwan until about a week before the due date. And I know that babies VERY often are delivered earlier. I don't know whether I'll be more sad or more mad if he isn't there at that time.

Baby Kicks!

haha omg, i'm sure of it! Our little baby has been giving me little kicks over the past week!!! Oh dear, I have a feeling he/she is gonna be a night owl though cuz evenings are when I'm able to feel the most movements. Then again, it might just be because it's the only time I'm really sitting still. I really wish Yi-Hua could feel it too. It's the most amazing feeling. But it's still a little bit too early. The books say give it another month or so and the kicks will be more distinct.

I can't believe it's May 1st already. Nothing too much planned for this month.

June will be our 2 year anniversary.

Eric may be visiting us in KL during July! Speaking of which I should really talk to him bout the dates. Yi-Hua and I will be flying back to Taiwan towards the end of July.

August 1st will be my brother-in-law's wedding!

Then for SEPTEMBER, we will be welcoming the newest addition to the family!!!!!! Also, I think my mom will be flying to TW in September too to stay w/ us for a while! =) haha OMG, she's gonna be a grandma!!

October will be both of our bdays. Yi-Hua is only turning 29 this year, however, in Taiwan (and perhaps HK), they count your 1st bday as they day you are born. So supposedly this year, he's turning the big "3 0." His Grandma wants to plan a big celebration for him this year... just not sure if we'll celebrate it in Sept or Oct. I know Yi-Hua's going to have to fly back to KL a week or so after our baby is born, but hopefully we'll be able to work something out where he can fly back to Taiwan at least one week per month? *Sigh* we'll see.
