Back to Work~

Got back to KL a couple days ago. 10 weeks into pregnancy, and I throw up for the first time the day of our flight. Luckily, it was just a one day experience. Hopefully it doesn't mean morning sickness will all of a sudden decide to give me daily visits.

It's such a big climate change between Taiwan and KL. Going from 8 Degree weather to 40 Degree weather is rather unpleasant. Wish there was some middle ground.

Life is moving right back into the busy stage. Work work work... but I guess that's the only way we will ever afford future college tuition.

My mother in law had bought me a whole bunch of pregnant women clothing. I'm definitely feeling a lot more comfortable now. Not that my baby bump is big enough to show yet, but I can definitely feel the thickening waist line, esp. while wearing my jeans.

So all these Chinese superstitions of what to do and what NOT to do are being thrown at me from left and right. Some of them are so random that I find them hard to believe, and actually kinda funny. Like... NO, I'm NOT going to sleep with a knife under my bed, thank you very much. =P However there are these other things that are a little more believable (but with no scientific back up). Like I've heard from so many people that I shouldn't intake a lot of soy sauce, otherwise the baby's skin will be darker. Or I should eat such and such in order for the baby's skin color to be more fair. Shouldn't rub the stomach that much because it will make the baby over-demanding when he or she grows up. I dunno, the list goes on. But seriously... if I believed in everything, I might as well never leave the house. Well, that is... unless there is any kinda drilling or construction being done by the neighbors. Then I'd have to move my butt outta there as fast as I could. Hearing any kinda drilling is a big NO NO for the well-being of the baby. lol this morning at the office there were people drilling in the office above us. I nearly had myself a heart attack. I actually have to admit that I packed my bags and got ready to head downstairs to wait it out. But they actually stopped shortly. *whew*

Anyway, I still have to find time to call my friends up... but that's gonna have to wait til the weekend.

It's been 2 years since we've been officially married. (Not the day we use to celebrate, but the day the actual papers were signed). So happy (early) anniversary to us. =P Things didn't quite go as planned today, however nothing could make me more happy than seeing our little baby again!!! We went for another ultrasound and this time the pics came out much clearer!! Our little darling is now 3.38cm long! That's nearly double the length from a week ago!

Anyway, we're going back to KL tomorrow.

I just have to keep reminding myself... just think happy thoughts.

...

Today was rather disappointing. It was the only day with nice weather and we didn't have a chance to do anything outdoorsy. *Sigh* In just 1 day and a half, we'll be on our way back to... the place... This was a good vacation in that we got to spend a lot of time with family... but as for shopping, eating and playing in Taipei, I'd have to rate it a 1 out of 10. God, nearly every single one of our meals were either hot pot or some type of 7-10 course meal. I mean, substance-wise, it was great, but if I stomached any more of that food, I know I wouldn't be able to keep it down (and that wouldn't be due to being pregnant). All I wanted was some simple street food. Anyway, it's past midnight again... tomorrow is going to be a long day. Please let tomorrow go smoothly.
