Feburary 2012 is coming to an end

With a blink of an eye – February is ending already. Time is just flying by without us knowing. Sometimes I wish time will slow down a little bit – I don’t want our little Jayden to grow up too quick! I want him to be a baby for a longer period of time – so I can enjoy holding hi.m. I won’t be holding another newborn baby for awhile – so I want to treasure it while I can. Which is really not going to happen because I know babies grow every week and without us knowing – he’s going to know how to sit and walk. *sigh* That’s just part of life right? I’m just going to be sad when he doesn’t give me kisses, hugs, or even let me hold him anymore.

Anyways, it’s been an eventful February for us with Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day, and attending Prenatal classes every Wednesday. Let’s hope March will slow down a little bit – so I can enjoy my sleep and work.

Valentine’s day plans

Do you have any Valentine’s Day plans in mind with your special someone yet? I’ve thought about it ever since January and I was/am planning to make the husband dinner at home but I seriously don’t know how I would feel like that day. I can’t stand for too long these days because of the extra weight. Sometimes I’m more tired and lazy. I know making dinner at home is more thoughtful but I don’t think I can do it this year. We’ll probably go out for a romantic candle light dinner and just enjoy the day. I’ll make him something special next year. But if I feel like it – I’ll add baking a cake for this year. What’s your plans? Share with me!

Toys for Kids

What a spoil little brat already eh? He’s already been receiving toys while inside my stomach. I’m not a huge fan of buying kids toys because who cleans them up afterwards? Nope – course not the little man. ME! I will be the one cleaning it up after he’s done playing with it. When he understands things – I’m going to train him how to clean his own toys up or else he can’t play with it. He’s been receiving a lot of toys – I think when he grows out of toys – I’m going to have to buy a yard sign to have a yard sale or probably donate it to a charity of some sort.

Chinese New Year Red Pockets 2012

Here’s all the red pocket Hub & I collected. I didn’t know we get Red Pockets too even if we are married. Well – I guess only from relatives right? On Chinese New Years morning – I went to visit his grandparents place to “bai leen” – it’s actually my very first time “bai leen” since I don’t have any relatives here. It was pretty interesting – I was suppose to bring some kind of treat to their house to “bai leen” – which I didn’t know. If I knew – I think I would be more creative. Maybe I’ll save that for next year! Hub didn’t get to go because he had work – hopefully next year he gets the day off!

Winnie the Pooh theme for Nurseries/Baby Room

I feel like I’m one picky-annoying woman when it comes down to colors and themes. I wonder if other people are like me – so far non of my friends are like that. Maybe I’ll discover someone just like me later on in life eh? *haha* Anyways – the little man’s room is almost complete except the diaper/changer table. It took us a month to finally get everything together – there’s so much into a complete baby room. Been going to Babies R Us every week but the good thing about it is – when you order some of the stuff online – they have free shipping. So yep – I’ve been getting packages delivered to me every week now. I feel like online shopping is more exciting then purchasing the items in store. It’s just that feeling. That reminds me that I need to place an order of enzo angiolini shoes online as a gift. Shopping online can make life so much easier instead of running around looking for it.

Everything is well-organized and prepared for the little one. I just need to open the boxes up and figure out how to use the sterilizer, bottle warmer, and breast bump soon. So I don’t have to know everything last minute. That reminds me – I gotta pack my hospital bag soon. Not only my stuff but with Hubby’s stuff too since we upgraded our hospital room to a private room – he can stay over night with us.

To be honest – he’s much more excited to meet his little son than I am. I’m just more fearing about the pain right now. I cannot imagine how painful it is! Well – I watched it on TV and everything. I have a feeling that I’ll be screaming like a witch! YES – WITCH! So it’s best not to have people I know around when I’m giving labor. *hahahha*

Baby Shower for Baby Boys

Baby shower is finally over! After months of preparation and planning – it was pretty successful! I love planning events like this with a theme. I’ve been looking forward to this date for so long. Thank goodness I can cross this out on my list of “to do’s” now and focus on other things ahead. It was so nice seeing everyone again – some I see a couple times a year – so it was nice catching up. I wasn’t too busy and thank goodness there were a photographer taking photos for us – or else I’ll be a bit busy capturing memories instead of chatting. It’s so convenient having a photographer in each special events. I think I’m getting too used to it now. Now that the baby shower is over – I can focus on the prenatal classes and the arrival of our little one! WOOHOO!

Valentine’s Ideas for Meals

Isn’t this heart shape pan cute? When I see these things in store – I just can’t help myself but get it. I don’t necessarily need it but I don’t mind having it. Do you call this crazy buying? I’m not even sure. But I did try this pan out – it’s not that bad. I thought I would just wake up and make Valentine’s day breakfast for my hubby – but I’m not too sure if I would wake up on time. *heheh* I’m still not a morning person till this date! But I’ll make him a heart shape egg one day – just not in the morning.

I’m planning to make his favorite lobster and steak dinner for this year’s Valentine’s day. The first year – I’ve made seafood dinner for him and the rest of the year – we just went out to eat. I mean -I love going out to eat but I hardly make dinner at home for him. So making dinner at home is a little more special on special days. I’ll see how that goes cooking in the kitchen with a big belly this year. What are you planning for Valentine’s day? I know there’s still a month to go – so still lots of time to plan!

Our Christmas Picture

My belly is huge eh? Well – in this picture it is. It’s actually not that big yet. But I’ve been carrying an extra 30 pounds around – my spine is sort of killing me at times. I can’t walk for too long anymore. At first – I wasn’t used to the extra 30 pounds but when time flew by – I kind of gotten used to it. The good thing about it is – I get to go for relaxing massages and these massages helps me a lot. Good thing I don’t need any spine surgery in the future – I’ve heard of women getting Spine Surgery Dallas because of the weight. Massage for pregnant women is really helpful – that’s what I heard. Talking about it – I gotta book another appointment for tomorrow. My body is getting aches.

December 2011

It’s late December already – this month for me flew by like a blink of an eye. This month was filled with a lot of family and friends gathering. A month for gathering eh? I’m already 7 months pregnant and boy was this not easy at all. I wonder how some women take it like a piece of cake. I sure wouldn’t be able to do this alone without my husband, families, and friends support. Not the easiest thing to do – but I’ve gone through the whole 7 months. Still have the morning sickness and now I found out that I have gestational diabetes. No one ever told me what I’m about to go through and now – I just gotta adapt to a new routine and eat healthier for this little chickmunk. Better pay mama back when you grow up eh!

But overall, it’s a joy having him in my tummy and I wouldn’t change a thing for that. His active kicks are a joy and I look forward to it every day. Just praying that he comes out healthy and not naughty. Eleven more weeks to go! Mama and Papa and everyone is counting down to see your arrival little one!

Planning Hubby’s Birthday

If there is one thing to brag about – I got to brag about what a lucky girl I am to have such a wonderful husband! I’m blessed and I just can’t put it in words how wonderful he is!

Anyways – his birthday is coming up and I plan to celebrate his birthday early this year with just him & I. He enjoys seafood and steak – so I’m looking to bring him to a fine dining restaurant for his 29^th birthday this year. He’s 29! Can you believe it? I certainly can’t imagine myself being 29 yet – it’s still a good six years to go for me. But he’s accomplished a lot in these couple years and I can’t be a more proud wife! His achievements are earned by hard work! Oh by the way – this picture was taken on my birthday just a couple weeks ago – he took me to Rosewater – this fine dining restaurant at Downtown, Toronto. And look what he ordered!? His favorite – lobster with steak. Your probably thinking – why don’t I just make him a fancy dinner at home? But this man enjoys eating out! I don’t mind cooking but he enjoys being served. Less work for me eh?
