36 Weeks

Alright, so my belly is getting bigger and the time is getting closer.  4 more weeks.

Office Baby Shower

Here are some pictures from my baby shower

34 Weeks

Alright, so 6 more weeks to go.  I cannot wait any longer.  Nothing much to say this week but just my belly.

30 Weeks

Only 10 more weeks to go!!! I'm excited but also nervous.  Only 10 more weeks I will get to see my little boy and hold him in my arms.  I know for sure I will hold him tight and will be hard to let him go.  The things that I hate the most being in third trimester is back pain, ribs pain, being heavy, and other things you name it.  I know the things I will miss the most after Dylan is here is being able to feel his movements and his kicks; but I will get to see him face to face and kiss him.

27 Weeks

Alright, 27 weeks.  Just about 13 weeks to go.  I've been told to enjoy the moment when the baby is not here yet because I will not have freedom, sleep whenever I want, go shopping whenever I want, etc...  Yes, many people have told me that but I guess when the baby is not here you just don't know the exact feeling yet.  Doesn't matter how much or how many people tell you what to expect, once you're there, you'll know.

I'm actually nervous about when the D day come which I don't know what day.  It could be later than 40 weeks or could be any day before 40th week.  Where will be, will I be at work? Will I be at home? Or anywhere on the road to somewhere.  I just wish that it would be at home during the night because it will be less traffic and my husband will be next to me.  Praying!!!  In the mean time, let's check out my 27 weeks pregnant belly.

Our California Trip

Alright, we just got back from the trip.  I was fine from here to CA but on the way back I felt horrible.  I felt tired the whole time even though I wasn't driving.  The weather was so hot, I was dehydrated most of the time; but I guess I would do it again because it was fun.  I got to eat good food, go to the beach, take pictures.  Here are some of the pictures, I got lazy and just post a few :)

25 Weeks

Yes.. 25 weeks!! I just can't believe how time flies.  15 more weeks to go I'm so excited yet feel a little nervous.  I can't wait to meet my little one and the time seems dragging.  Let's check out my 25 weeks pregnant belly!! Whoo hoo!!!

23 Weeks!!

We got a name for our baby boy.  His name will be Dylan Thiên Phạm.  Dylan means son of the sea and Thiên means God in Vietnamese.  The more I think about the name the more I like it and feel attach to it.  Every time I hear anyone say Dylan or Thiên I would think that they are talking about my baby boy :)

I'm excited to move into next week because next week Dylan would be considered as "viability".  With that being said, it means that if Dylan were to be born next week he would have a 50% chance of survival through NICU.

So far our nursery is about 70% complete.  Our baby would stay in the same room with us until he is older.  We don't feel safe to have our baby to stay in his own bedroom without us knowing how he is doing and what's gonna happen to him.  Being first time parents are never easy, we are worried about everything.  Next weekend my husband and I will go to our "babymoon" trip before Dylan is here and there will be no more "us two time" but it will be "us three time".  I will take lots of picture and share it with you all after we get back next week.  Now is the time to look at my belly at 23 weeks..

21 Weeks!

I can't believe that I have made to 21 weeks and my belly have gotten very big.  I love my belly and my baby boy, I just can't wait for another 19 weeks to get to see him.

Shopping for baby.

I know I haven't updated my blog for a long time because I've been busy shopping around for baby stuff.  Shopping for baby is not as easy as I thought it would be, the first time I walked into a baby store I feel lost because I didn't know what to shop for, where to start and what price is good.  It's finally took my husband and I about a day or two to "settle".  We finally found some items such as: wash cloth, burp cloth, baby bottles, travel system, bedding set, bedding bumper, mattress, some clothes, diapers, wipes.  We haven't found a crib that we want yet but still in the process.  After we shopped around for a few days, I figured out the store that I like the most is Babies r us.  The store is easy to look for stuff and has all the nice items.  I would definitely go back and shop for it and of course we have our eyes on one of the cribs there.

Gender Reveal!!

I was thinking of doing a gender reveal party but ended up not doing it, because I was so excited and told everyone in my immediate and extended family right after  my anatomy scan.  I'm just so thankful that the baby is healthy and growing at the pace it's supposed to be.  Here it is, it's a .................................................................................................................................................................

Being crazy.

One more day until we find out our baby gender.  I am so excited, not only because I get to find out if my baby is a boy or girl but also I get to see my baby again (first time I got to see my baby when I was at almost 9 weeks).  I miss my baby dearly even though I'm carrying him/her every day in my belly but it's not the same as seeing it on the screen.  If you were or are pregnant then you would know what I mean.  Here is my first ultrasound picture, aw.. isn't he/she so adorable?

Alright, and these are our pictures taken during a little shopping trip for the dad-to-be.  Sometimes we can be very crazy.

You, Me and Babies

Being married for almost 4 years is not easy and here I am, as of today I am 19 weeks and 1 day pregnant with our first child (we don't know the gender yet but shall find out in 2 days).  I remember when I was younger, I would never thought that one day I would have a child of my own.  Actually I never liked to have kids because I thought kids are annoying and it would ruin everyone's lives; but I was wrong, so wrong.  Being pregnant is the most wonderful thing that I have ever experienced and enjoying every moment of it.  I already wanted another baby after this one is being born.  Alright, enough talk for a very first post, it is picture time.  Here are my bump pictures from past weeks, can you guess if it's a boy or a girl from looking at these?

This was how everything started!!

I used Clear blue ovulation kit to determined my ovulation day... and on January 23rd.. ta da!!!

 On a beautiful Friday morning February 3rd (yes, it was a morning. You have to use first morning urine to get accurate results) I got VERY good news.  It is probably very hard for you to see the faint line there but it is there. :) 

I was skeptical about this all morning after the first test and thinking to myself maybe this is just wishful thinking.  After work, I went home and the first thing I did was POS (pee on a stick). And ta da!!

Yes, I took that many test just to make sure I was pregnant.
