This morning we got to sleep in for a lil bit! Didn't have to be in Sanchong til 7:30!!! We also took the car today instead of scootering which made it more comfortable (less cold). But actually, the weather was rather fantastic today. So after we "bai bai" @ the house and ate a great vegetarian breakfast, we headed out to the temples. That was great fun~~~ In fact, my dear husband captured many moments with his camera!
After temple visiting, the boys went back to Zhonghe to play some bball, and I went shopping @ Wufenpu with Gobby. OMG, all I can say is that it was HELLLLLLA crowded! Yes, the clothes are incredibly cheap, but I don't know if I want to sacrifice my comfort or my toes again. It was kinda hard to find clothes cuz my target was summery clothes with a relaxed fit (for growing tummy) that would be decent enough to wear to work. But most of the clothes there were either for autumn/winter or tiny little things I would never be able to squeeze into (even normally). Anyway, I did walk away with a pair of shoes and some pants and some other clothing items. All for a price of 1200NT. I'm a cheap spender. I didn't like the fact that I couldn't try on any of the clothes before buying. From previous experience, I've found that clothing ALWAYS looks better on the mannequins than on myself. But luckily I've just tried on all the stuff, and I don't find the need to discard anything immediately.
Anyway, I'm gonna crash early tonight. I was sposed to meet Yi-Hua and the fam after shopping, but I decided to take the MRT/bus home instead. I was way too tired and would have been a party pooper. No... I wasn't lying bout being tired. I fell asleep on the MRT and ended up at the last stop. Someone woke me... then I had to hop back on the MRT to the stop I missed. Yes... embarrassing... but I didn't care.
Btw/ Yi-Hua has taken it upon himself to refer to our little baby Ichiro for the time being. lol I wonder if I should be worried. =P

It's the Year of the Tiger!
Saturday, February 13, 2010
Bet they didn't see that coming.
so... we're gonna tell everyone tonight at dinner.
I hope I can actually make it through dinner without passing out.
It's been so tiring scootering around town (especially in the rain).
Back in KL, I'd been crashing as early as 8:30 or 9:00pm. That's so not happening here.
Happy New Year to everyone... and Happy New Year to our 1.8cm lil bean too~~~~~

Our First Ultrasound!!
The last couple weeks had been hella hectic, and I'd been pretty down... and cranky as well. I actually apologized to my husband for my behavior and thanked him for trying to cheer me up all the time. He said the sweetest thing, "It's my job!" Anyway, we're back in Taiwan now, and life can be good again. It's a little colder than I expected, but I'll take this over the scorching sun any day! So here's the news... we went to the OBGYN... and... we did it... the ultrasound! It was a lot simpler than what I expected. Just a lil gel stuff on the tummy + a little stick apparatus pushing against my belly... and there it was on the screen!!!!! Our 1.8cm of a baby!!!!! Then we saw the heartbeat! A very steady and rapid beat. Okey, so when I saw it,I teared up... no, I actually cried. I mean I know little baby has been inside me the last two months, but seeing the pix and the heartbeat made it so much more real!!!! I can't wait to call up my parents and my brother tomorrow. And then we're planning to make the announcement @ the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night!!!! I think I'm gonna have to wait til I get back to KL before I make phone calls to my friends. I've been dying to tell everyone and it's been soooo hard to keep this big of a secret just between the two of us. I've actually managed to not go on Gmail just to avoid accidentally spilling the beans. We're going back for a more detailed checkup next Monday. I think with a blood test, we might be able to determine if it's a boy or a girl... a Phoebe or a Phoebo. (Friends fans, you know what I mean).
