All is well...

I had my doctor visit on Monday. I've gained 5 more lbs, so that's a total of 11 lbs since the beginning. The doctor didn't say I need to eat less. She said as long as I'm eating healthy, then it's ok. Baby's heart beat is at 140. Blood work result from last visit came back normal. We'll go for ultrasound in 3 weeks, that's when we'll find out if Baby Chu is a boy or girl.

Fist sign of Spring

Perfect weather weekend!

Eric took a jog around the neighborhood yesterday while I just sat on the deck enjoying the breeze. We're in the 70s again today! We ran a few errand after church. Eric then gave both of our cars a bath to rinse off the salt from last week's snow. I ate my lunch by the deck and spotted the flowers already bloomed. So I hurry in to get my camera - I know I'm a geek :)

Aren't they beaaautiful? No photoshop alteration :)

What a blessing...

I'm not having too much nausea and haven't missed a meal :) I've gained about 5lbs and doc told me to just slow down because I will gain more later on. My back has been killing me though but manageable. We heard our baby's heartbeat during my 12 weeks visit - loud and clear! We'll go back next month for another round of check up.

Thanks for praying for us!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

It's 1:43am and I'm still wide awake. I shouldn't have taken that nap..

Christmas was good. Santa Eric got me a sewing machine. Yes, that's what I really wanted and no I don't know how to use it. I'm going to sign up sewing 101 soon. I got Eric a Redskin jersey. He was extremely thrilled about it but too bad their season is over today.


So 2009, what are your New Year's Resolutions? Mine are simple, just taking better care of my health in general. Exercise more often and eat healthier. haha sound pretty cliché huh?

Merry (belated) Christmas & Happy New Year!!!

Already December!

Thanksgiving was nice. I made my first turkey. It was cooked! I stuffed it with sticky rice (w/ Chinese Sausage, Mushrooms, Dried Scallops, Dried Shrimps and Roasted Chestnuts) and baked it in a bag. I also baked two pumpkin pies - first time also. My in-laws made the rest of the side dishes. This year I didn't get up for Black Friday shopping at all - shock shock!!! I slept until 9am and it was nice!


I've spent most of the day Saturday decorating the Christmas tree. Yep it's artificial tree but smelling good, thanks to YANKEE plug-in :) Just a few more people to shop for then I am DONE! Yes, most presents are wrapped under the tree as well.
