Ultrasound

So we went in to get our first ultrasound done today. Jason and I were so excited, I could barely sleep last night. The technician did a bunch of measurements on the screen and said everything’s normal and our baby is right on date (16-weeks). We asked her if it’s a boy or a girl, [...]


Somersaults or just Gas?

So I felt something funny in my tummy today. It’s as if someone’s popping popcorn inside my belly. I wonder if that’s the little chouchou doing somersaults inside…or if it’s just gas? Hmmm…I guess I’ll just have to wait to see if there’s gonna be more popcorn popping tomorrow.


Stroller

After browsing online and flipping through the many print catelogues we’ve got, we’ve finally decided on the stroller and car seat.

Elaine and Raymond are getting married in Toronto in September and then having another banquet in Hong Kong in December. She has invited us to be there and I am not sure if we should attend the one in Toronto or the one in Hong Kong.
Toronto – Our chouchou would be 2 months old, which [...]


Shopping For Baby

We’ve decided that while it might be a bit too early to be buying baby stuff, it’s definitely NOT too early to start browsing. So far, these are the stuff that I know we’ll be getting:

much more browsing to do…


Heartbeat and a Vacation

Jason, mom and I went to see Dr. Kalyanpur yesterday and for the first time, I hear the little heartbeat inside my tummy. I’ve heard these heartbeats before while practicing at the maternity ward at Richmond General. But this time, it’s different, it’s my baby’s heartbeat! It’s so surreal! I mean, for the past few [...]


Hormonal Rollercoaster

So I was crying last night. I am not sure what happened, but all of a sudden I just felt really tired and really guilty (for being tired all the time) and I just started crying. I cried so much that Jason freaked out and called his mom for advice. His mom then called my [...]


Gosh…when it is gonna end?

My morning sickness should be called “bedtime sickness” as it seems I am most fine in the mornings, but come bedtime, I’m all over the toilet. It’s been the third night already…and just a little brush on the roof of my mouth with the back of my toothbrush is enough to trigger a Niagara-like waterfall.
It’s [...]
