Goodbye Ferbie Ferb

I had Ferb since last February. I found him upside down today. I was super sad, he was a great little pet.

Ferb lived a good life, he was at Petsmart, and I brought him home. We got him nice wheels to run on, igloo to live in, toys to play with. He always had food and water. Ferb occasionally got out of his cage and scratches his balls in front of Steve at 2AM. Then Steve had to wake me up to catch him at 2AM, so he won't get under the dish washer.

Okay, I feel really stupid for feeling like this. But my pet died!! I am just super sad. I don't think I can handle it. Phineas is the other hamster we bought at the same time, and I am afraid he is next. Apparently their life span is only 1.5~2 years. So Ferb was about 75 years old in human years. uhhh... who cried over a dwarf hamster? Me! Maybe cuz it's i am pregnant, and emotional?

Anyway. Ferb is a great dwarf hamster! I am going to miss him.

 

Ferb: 2/2009 ~ 8/2/2010

22 down, 18 more to go

So, how do I feel being preggo at 22 weeks? Fabulous! I can't really complain, and I hope the rest of the pregnancy is  going to be like this. I can handle it!! I am just so glad the dizziness and throwing up is over and done. Although I do have to admit that I still get really tired. Come on, give me a break. I am growing arms and legs inside of my body and working full time. I am entitled to be a little tired right? Oh, and we are moving this week. Even though it's only 2 blocks away, I still have to pack up everything. It's all good, because we'll have 2 toilets in the house. Since I have to pee constantly, and sometimes I have to make Steve get up from his precious toilet time, so I can pee in the toilet. ( I threaten to pee in his sink if he doesn't get up). I just have to go all the time you know. Having a baby sac sitting on my bladder... oooo.

Anyway, just a quick update.

Funny announcement

I found this on someone elses blog, and I thought it's super cute. Just look at her face!! It's as if she is cheering for something.

20 weeks - It's a girl

I can hardly express my excitement and the tenderness I felt when I saw my little girl on the screen. She's beautiful! I can not wait to meet her in November, and hold her in my arms. in the past couple days, I have been feeling my baby moving in my stomach. Sometimes it feels like she is doing Super Mario bum crush inside.

The ultra sound technician was very thorough, she checked our every part of the baby's body. She begin with the crown to check the brain, then the stem, the neck, lungs, heart, stomach, kidney, and whatever else was inside, then the bum, femur, legs, and her little feet. She also checked the position of the placenta, and the umbilical cord. As I follow her and listening to her of what she is checking, I was so over whelmed. I can not believe I have a baby, a life, growing inside of me, looking so perfect already. I can not believe she is ours, and we made her.

19 weeks

We had a wonderful 4th of July. It was a bizarre weekend, because no one knows when to celebrate the 4th here in Utah. Since the 4th of July falls on a Sunday, and we also get the 5th off. Anyway, I finally got my hot dog with grill mark on Monday! horay for our first propane grill, it works wonderfully. Also grilled zucchini is amazing!! Steve did a great job a grilling!!


In the past couple days, I kept on feeling this push in my lower abdominal area, and I can feel a really hard bump on one side. Apparently, this is what a 19 weeks baby look like from inside. My little Tic Tac looks like a pretzel, and it's probably either the head or the bum I am feeling. I can't wait to find out what we are having next Wednesday =^.^=

Chinese mom and their dreams.

My mother called me this morning, she sounded like she just woke up, a little groggy. Nonetheless, she had a smile in her voice, and she said, " I know what you are having"(silence for 5 seconds)

I said, "ok, you can't stop there. What am I having?" ...(Silence... Wonder she was sleep talking and called me on the phone)
She replied, " I can't tell you, or else it would be 不凖 "
Me: " you gonna tell me it's a boy like everyone else"
My mom: (laughed) " I had a dream of a baby that looked alot like you, I thought it was a girl, but Martin brought in 4 bikes, then I realized it's a boy"

-oh moms... and their superstitions.

You know, I am totally okay if my baby looks like me. I was pretty darn cute. look at my fat cheeks and Mohawk.

Oh, and this is my 18 weeks preggo photo

 

18 weeks and sick again

Isn't it wonderful? My nose is once again stuffed, runny like there's no end, and waking up every 2 hours to go pee and cough attacks aren't the best combination. When you live with someone, - like my husband- even if i sent him to his men cave when he is sick... it doesn't work. I still got sick. The AC circulates the air throughout out little 2 bedroom apartment. I guess my immune system is just really weak right now.

Tic Tac is 18 weeks right now, I can't really suck in my stomach any more. I can kind of see my feet when i am standing straight. Oh, and I totally got curves now; just on my front side.

I'll blog more when I feel better.
