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 [...]


Checking out Prices

Jason and I went to Babies R Us over the weekend to check out prices of baby stuff. We figured that right now, all we need is a crib, changing table, car seat, stroller and a baby rocker, in terms of furniture. It’s so surreal looking at all the baby stuff. We want to keep [...]


Snow

It has never snowed so much in Vancouver…at least not that I remember. Jason said it could be a sign, that our baby will be a winter-sports loving kid when s/he grows up. Hmmm…I hope so.
We were watching the IIHF games preview special last night and seeing Pat Quinn on TV was just amazing. I [...]


Are we ready?

Sometimes I really wonder if we’re ready. I know no one is ever ready to be a parent, it just happens, but are we ready to be pregnant?
I mean, I had no idea how bad morning sickness was going to be. I’ve been losing sleep and missing work so far because of it. I feel [...]


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, [...]


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 [...]
