煲羅宋湯 (Borscht, the way Mom makes it)

Mom was telling me the other day that whatever I eat in the first three months goes to my thighs and hips, what I eat in the next 6 months goes to the baby. I’ve been giving into cravings a lot lately, eating a lot of rice noodle, bread and chocolate, which is not good. [...]


Showing? Probably just Bloated

I am now in my 8th week and I shouldn’t be showing already…unless I am having twins, which I highly doubt. But my tummy is already sticking out a bit. Jason said “you’re showing already”. But I think it’s just gas. I do feel very bloated, and despite everything I did, it just won’t go [...]


New Body, New Clothes, New Me

Mom took Jason and me out for some maternity-clothes shopping at Thyme Maternity on Sunday. I must admit, it’s been awhile since I felt so good in a fitting room. The first thing I tried on was the light brown cords with the wide elastic waistband that goes over the tummy. They look ridiculous, but [...]


Who Turned Up The Heat?!?

It was very stuffy in the office this morning, so stuffy that I had to step outside for fresh air a few times. It got so unbearably stuffy that I had to go upstairs to borrow the portable fan from Enoch. Richard said it could be because they are circulating “recycled” air in the building, [...]


Countdown Widgets

Today’s Friday and work’s kinda slow anyways, so I decided to browse for some pregnancy widgets. Here are some of the cuter ones I’ve found:

Oh oui, we’re due on July 10, 2009.


The Worst Yet…Maybe I Really Should Just Go To Work

I woke up this morning and had a drink of water – BIG MISTAKE! I am not sure what it is about water, but it seems that every time I drink, it comes right back up then triggers a whole series of tummy ache/fatigue/headache, etc. So, I worked from home today (thank goodness for really [...]


Now I Understand

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately…on many pregnancy and baby websites and almost all of them said something about losing appetite during the first trimester and possibly losing a few pounds. That got me all worried because to date I’ve been enjoying my food and actually hungry all the time, craving for pizza [...]


Ten Minute Nap

I overslept this morning, didn’t wake up until 7:45am. Luckily, traffic wasn’t that bad, I was only 20 minutes late for work. Despite the extra minutes of sleep I got, I am super tired this morning. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and I took a 10 minute nap on the armchair in the lunch [...]


Doctor Confirmed

We are officially doctor-confirmed! Dr. Ngai ordered a blood test which I have to do before I see Dr. Cheung on the 25th. Good thing Life Labs is just down the block from work, I don’t have to get time off.
Dr. Ngai gave us a July 10 due date. I do hope that the chouchou’s [...]


Butters Know?!?

I swear Butters must know something’s going on. Maybe he can smell the change in hormones in me? He’s been acting weird lately, very clingy, very mama’s boy.
I know it’s still too early to know, but I’ve been having this strange feeling that we’re having a baby girl. Jason actually wants a boy so that [...]
