Day 4 of 365 day photo challenge

It's Jason's band practice night! I am here tonight because it took me forever to take my marketing exam. And I didn't want to walk home. I didn't do fantastic, only 88%, but it's ok. I only studied for one day. It's done now and I am relieved.

50 places I would like to visit in my lifetime, #1

Beijing

I always wanted to visit Beijing. I would like to see the great wall and all the historical sites. Forbidden city would be one of them. Every time I watch drama series that feature forbidden city, I would imagine what life was really like in there in the past. I hope to go as soon as possible before they destroy the city with all the development.

Hey! You are smart!! Don't let anymore tell you different!

I put it at the back of the seat on a bus. A lot of students from my college take this bus everyday.

33 weeks questionnaire

Well, I am 33 weeks today, oh wait, yesterday, because it passed midnight.

We went to Jason's sister Chandra's to have dinner. After dinner we played a few games. One of them was the name game. Anyway, it was fun, however, I didn't know half of the people that were written down.

How far along?

100 reasons I love my husband, #1

Another 101 things in 1001 days challenge. I need to make a list of 100 reasons I love my husband, so this is reason one.

I love my husband because he is protective. 

I know he would protect me no matter what happen. Even if it means that he would die. He won't let anything or anyone harm me. Whenever I tell him about someone who hurts my feeling, he would always say, he would kick his/her butt when he sees them. He would also hold my hands when crossing the road or let me walk at the inside of the sidewalk, so if any car is out of control, he would be the one that get hit. He would also pick me up when there is ice on the ground, so that I wouldn't fall on my butt.

I love you my sweet husbee, I am going to spend a lifetime and beyond with you.

Day 1 of 365 day photo challenge

365 day photo challenge is one of the thing I am going to do in the 101 things in 1001 days.

This is day one of the 365 day photo challenge. I don't feel very good right now. I am being very emotional because of being 33 weeks pregnant. I look really chubby. I just took this picture with the macbook webcam. The painting behind me is a reproduction of a Picasso by Jason for one of his class assignments last year.

Stressed out!

I feel kind of stressed out and depressed lately. Baby will be full term in four weeks and I am due in 7 weeks. It's just crazy. It's really happening. I am just worried about the baby, and the whole labor and delivery process. I started to have nightmares about it. 

I don't really sleep at night. I always lie awake till 6am until I can fall asleep. I am really sick of being tired. My belly is still kind of small. I meant some people still don't realize that I am pregnant.

I rode the bus home from school the other day, and no one gave me seat. There are whole bus full of people and it was so dang hot! I felt like I was going to pass out. People on the bus just didn't realize that I am pregnant.

School is really stressful this semester as I just don't have the energy. Every time I try to pick up the textbook to read, I start falling asleep. 

covert an mp3 and karate parctice

I am so tired. I don't know why. I feel like I sleep all the time. Still, I am very tired!

Anyway, Jason added a foot switch to my old mp3 player so that he can use it for his band in practice and shows. At first, he thought he ruined the mother board. I told him that he would figure it out and he did. It works!

He had karate practice last night and had a chance to spar with his instructor. 

Jason's Drawing

The following pictures are some of Jason's hand drawings from his drawing class. He got an A in this class. His professor even bought one of his drawings because of how good it was to show his other classes as example.

I am sorry if the pictures quality isn't good but I am not a photographer.

32 weeks prenatal visit

I went to my 32 weeks prenatal visit this morning. The midwife told me my blood pressure is good. I am measuring right at 32 weeks. The baby heart rate is 150 which is good. She also told me that the baby's little head is down. I have notice there is more and more pressure while I walk around since last week.

When I had my 28 weeks prenatal visit, she also told me the baby is head down. I wonder if the baby ever move out of position during the past four weeks. She moves all the time though.

Anyway, when I lay down, I have a really hard time finding a comfortable position. I also have a hard time trying to get out of the couch. I am not even that big. I meant I don't feel that I am huge but obviously, baby girl is getting heavier. Judging from my belly, my girl shouldn't be a big baby, but who knows? The women in the show "I didn't know I was pregnant" didn't have big bellies and they had big babies.......which is really scary.

My husband was a big baby, but I was very small. I wasn't even 6 lbs (2 weeks overdue) when I was born. Hopefully, baby won't be too big that would increase the difficulty of delivery.

If you can't tell, I AM REALLY SCARED!

Chinese New Year

It's Chinese New Year! Nothing really special here. I meant, I don't really feel like it is the Chinese New Year which is sad!

Chinese New Year is the most important festival for Chinese, it's equivalent to Christmas here for Americans.

Anyway, it's 2 am, I should go to bed, I have my 32 weeks prenatal visit tomorrow morning. Hope everything goes well.

I took some pictures of Jason drawings from his drawing class. I will post those here tomorrow!

A little questionnaire about pregnancy

Just found this questionnaire on a blog I just read and I love the idea, so I am going to do it!

How far along?
32 weeks

Maternity clothes?
I wear maternity clothes sometime, but my maternity pants always fall because my belly isn't that big......I can still fit in some of my size small shirt.......

Stretch marks?
Don't have any yet. Hopefully, it keeps it that way!

Sleep:
Have a hard time sleeping. Toss and turn, so I have been sleeping on the couch which is actually more comfortable and easier for me to fall asleep.

Best moment this week:
 hmm.....nothing really special that I can think of right now

Miss Anything?
sleeping in the same bed with the husbee.

Movement:
my little girl moves a lot and I can feel her bones most of them time when she moves.

Food cravings:
 Ice-cream!!!

Anything making you queasy or sick:
nothing really make me sick, maybe the TV show a 1000 ways to die..........

Have you started to show yet:
Yes!

Gender:
a little girl

Labour Signs:
None yet

Belly Button in or out?
most of the way out

Wedding rings on or off?
off, it's on my neck though

Happy or Moody most of the time:
neither happy or moody. I am just nervous and some time stress out because of school

Looking forward to:
meet and hold my baby. Also to see Jason holding and kissing the baby. It would be so cute!

Sketching a tank

Jason doesn't feel good all day so he didn't have the energy to study nor do his homework, instead, he started drawing!

He pulled out his sketch book and started sketching a tank. It's nowhere near done but here is a couple pictures:

It's just a sketch, I will post the finished drawing when he is done.

It snowed!

It snowed, finally! It snowed! It has been a really strange winter because it hasn't been snowing at all. Finally, there is snow on the ground.

Jason came home from Karate today and didn't feel very good. I prepare lunch but he was too tired to eat so we slept for a couple hours. We woke up at about 3 and had lunch. After lunch, we said we were going to do some homework together, but we just lay there. Eventually, we felt asleep again! When we woke up, it's like 7pm.......

We went to the store to get some stuff and it's like 9:30 already, oh man, we have tons of homework.........

pulling out from our apartment

at Walmart parking lot

Fixing the antenna for our jeep and some recent pictures

Well, it's 2 in the morning! Why am I still awake? Because Jason has been trying to fix the antenna for our jeep since one o'clock this afternoon! He ordered the part online, and it arrived today. He tore apart the antenna and its motor and found out the antenna he ordered wasn't the right part.

He is going to return the wrong part so he went to the hardware store to get a cable and try to fix the original antenna. That's pretty much what he has been trying to do all day. I would have given up already if I were him!

Some more recent pictures:

At Walmart, trying hats on

I love this hat on him :)

Almost 32 weeks!

We don't have class on Friday, so we slept in till about noon today. Well, I would like to sleep a little longer whenever I can because I just don't get much sleep lately. It's hard to get comfortable sometime. Or I would have heartburn or leg cramps that would prevent me from a good night sleep. Not to mention, baby girl is always so active when I am laying down.

Anyway, I will be 32 weeks this coming Sunday. I am excited to meet my little girl, however, I am more scared than anything else. I hope I can handle the pain. I am not getting any pain medication because I believe it is better for me and the baby.

School has been really stressful. I am going to drop a class: business law, it is way too hard for me to do it right now. I just don't have the energy right now to due with this hard class. Therefore, I will only have 13 credits this semester. I think I can justify it because I am having a baby in the middle of the semester. I need to work ahead on my classes, so that I won't need to catch up so much after the baby is born.

Jason likes to feel the baby, he is very excited whenever he feels the baby moves. He is so cute! I can see that he has so much love for the baby even though he is really scared about being a Dad. Sometime, I can just sit there and feel the baby movements. I would try to guess what she is doing inside my tummy. I never get bored feeling her or looking at my belly.

Well, I have to start doing some work now, so I will stop here. I hope I can update this blog as often as I can, especially to make a good record for our first child.

Time to prepare

I am currently 31 weeks pregnant with a little girl. It's our first baby. I like to make a good record for us and our daughter. I will post videos, pictures and updates as often as I can.

I have been really stress and nervous lately because it is getting close. We still haven't get anything for the baby yet. We have to start soon!

Jason and I are currently in school. Jason is studying for graphic designs and I am going into finance. This semester is going to be tough as our daughter will come in the middle of the semester. Hopefully, I can handle the workload and take good care of our baby.

Nine more weeks till baby is here

They finally fixed Jason's grades for last semester. He was supposed to have an A in one of his classes, and it shown a B-. It's finally fixed after 4 weeks! Now, his GPA for last semester is 3.9. Mine wasn't so hot because of the stupid biology class.......Just found out that Biology 1010 is the number one most fail class at UVU. Why do they make it so hard??? It's a general class! I passed it, just barely though.

I am taking 16 credits this semester( two 3000 level classes). it's kind of crazy, especially our girl is coming in about nine weeks. I am not sure what would happen but I have made arrangments with all of my teachers about my classes. Anyway, I don't need to write a lot of papers this semester, so that's good.

We are really anxious about our little girl coming. We just can't wait. We always tell her that it's time for her to come now, because Daddy and Mommy have been waiting for so long. Well, we don't mean that we want her to come prematurely, but it would be nice if this last nine weeks could go a little faster.

We are definietly scared about taking care a new baby: we just don't know what to expect. Jason says that this little girl is a very special spirit, and she will become the light of our lives. We love her very much already. I pray every night that she will be a healthy and happy girl.

By the way she has been acting, I am pretty sure she will be a strong and healthy girl. When she moves, my whole belly moves. It's not just a kick anymore. She moves all the time with her whole little body. Oh my little girl, we can't wait to meet you and hold you!

It's 3 in the morning

Well, like the title says, it's 3am, but I am still awake. Just had some deep talk with my husband and he is fast asleep right now.

Anyway, I don't seem to be able to fall asleep pass certain time. I found that we talked about the baby quite a bit. She will soon become the most important thing in our lives. Sometimes, I still feel strange that there is a baby inside me. I am really not sure how it would be like being a mom, but I hope I will do a good job.

I feel like while I am taking care of her, she is taking care of me in the same time in her own way. It's hard to explain. We will see her in less than ten weeks. I just can't wait to see what's she look like and most importanly, to know that she is healthy!
