Baby say thank you...

After being pregnant, we actually need to say 'Thank You' to a lot of friends, they have been very supportive to me, Simon and BB...especially Andy Zvina, Andy Becky, Jacky Zoe and Frankie June ... U guys have provided a lot of useful tips being parents while Simon and I are blur blur all the time

Of course we love all the 'like' and 'comments' on facebook .... We realized there are a lots ppl care about us... So touched and loved

thank you thank you...

I missed drinking coffee sometimes ... And I figured a way to pretend I am drinking... Haha
Hot milk please !

p.s hopefully this blogging habit continues... I am sure my baby(s) will be able to read one day

What to eat ???

What to eat ? I always ask myself this question after I am pregnant... I actually lost 5kg since I am pregnant... Reasons? No more frozen coke ... Ice milk tea..KFC... Junk food....more n more.... I guess!
I actually don't mind the losing weight part but I do miss Sashimi and Frozen Coke haha

I really hope my careful selection of food will be beneficial to my dearest baby

I found it funny while talking to my colleagues, whenever I tell them bits and bits of Chinese tradition for a pregnant women, they all looked so amazed or thinking I must be weird/strange/silly....
Such as : no hair washing for the month after giving birth...
no mandarin / banana etc..no squatting... Lots n lots

Yesterday morning I was so happy and felt so lucky ... I have been looking for purple cola glass from Maccas everywhere but they were all sold out and out of my hope .... There it is !!!
Last one !!! Lucky me

Now we have one blue n one purple ... Our fav colour

Baby's moving ....

Baby has been moving quite a bit lately... The feeling is a bit hard to describe.... Sometimes it feels like the baby pinched u, poked u, scratched u.. Haha very interesting feeling ... Ppl said it should feel like butterfly flying in the stomach ... I am not sure with my senses anymore ...seems like someone playing piano...Happy feeling for sure!!

Anyway lately I realize when ever Simon drives...and if the road is bumpy... Baby will have the same effect afterwards...

Baby seems like dancing really really fast in my stomach ...
Very funny feeling I must say..

maybe the word 'fluttering' suits the meaning....
Simon has been able to feel baby's little movement at night and Karen encountered the first baby fluttering feeling last night ....I am sure as time goes by... Baby will be more and more active and all my friends will be able to feel it...can't wait!

I am very careful with every step I walk ... Every door I pass... As I know my precious baby is with me and with my clumsiness ... I should be more alert with my daily 'movements' haha

Last night we went Cyber City for dinner :) Cyber City is actually the first place where Simon and I met....

Blood tests

I don't like blood tests...
unfortunately I have to do it pretty often with my medical conditions ... Today I have to do this GTT ... Glucose test ... Blood test first then drink a bottle of Glucose drink (taste like lemonlade) wait for TWO hours then another blood test ....
Sigh .... Time is running so slow and baby and I are starving ... Coz' I needed to fast before mas well ....

Living in Brisbane is a lot different....the main entertainment for us is 'Dinner with Friends' (sounds lame isn't it) but what else can we do?? We went to 上海狂抄.. Not too bad .. I wanted to eat 小籠包!
We love spending time with our close friends... especially with 'Them'...Leo said he favorite is 豆辦醬...

Our precious Megan...

We had dinner with Megan and Chris last night at the Sunnybank Hotel... The steak was yummy...and we had dessert 雅滋甜品 at the new shop in plaza ... Not as expected but better than nothing i guess...

Megan is a very special gal to me and Simon... Her smile brightens your day... Her voice makes u laugh.. Her silliness makes your day !!!
M: oh jei jei 姐姐... Be careful ... I will lift that box... (the box is not heavy at all )
M: oh jei jei 姐姐... Be careful.. There is car coming .. ( the car is couple meters away)
M: I can't eat while driving as u are a very precious cargo ... (even if I feed her)
M: U are so adorable ... U are so cute jei jei :) (even I dun think so.. Cute doesn't really match me)

She says these lovely things that just melt in your heart...
We both hope our baby's heart will be just like Megan's little angel heart :) also if our baby likes studying just as Megan that would be good ... Hahaha

She is also a little hard working bird at our post office :)
