Leg cramp #2

Ouch! It's so painful. 
This time, Ah Lun was with me last night. And I think he was terrified by my scream. 
Even I wake up now, the muscles are still aching!

Best shots I like!

Many people asked if we will take pregnancy photos at a studio. After looking into other people's photos, they are generally not very natural and the photographers tend to ask mom-to-be to reveal their body too much. Therefore, we are not inclined to arrange a professional shoot. 

Howver, we will take some shots on our own just to record our first pregnancy. We spared a couple of hours between Ah Lun's jobs last Sunday to do our first shoot. I was 32 weeks 6 days pregnant on that day. 

We went to Nam Sang Wai hoping to get a few nice pictures. After that we took a few more at the factories right under our apartment. To our surprise, the photos taken downstairs are much better than those in Nam Sang Wai. 
This is most probably the best shot I like. 
I have to thank the factory building which had got the tower painted in blue last year. This gave the whole neighborhood a face lift. 
The night before, Ah Lun also took a picture of Red Bean. This is such a terrific  shot! 

It is always nice to have a husband who knows how to take pictures.

今早的日出 ;)


程班長

Ah Lun has been a great fan of Taiwanese beef noodles, so we have to visit this shop for some authentic noodles. 
Sadly, we think the food is quite oily, and Ah Lun still ranks the beef noodle shop in Kaoshiung number 1, after this tasting! 
Many people waiting outside, but we managed to get a table in 10 mins. Not too bad. 
2 mains +4appetizers. We always scare people sitting next to us with the amount of food we ordered. 
I picked the Taiwanese metro lunch box but of course I cannot finish it all. 
Because of Ball Ball's recommendation, we bought the dessert as well. But the wait was too long! 20 mins! Because they missed out our order. 

Pregnancy shot

I am 32 weeks and 6 days pregnant today. My bump is expanding so quickly lately. 
So we are planning to go out for a shoot of my bump. Due to Ah Lun's schedule, we could not join Joyce Wong, Ball Ball and Connie to visit the beach tour in Lantau. We went to Nam Sang Wai instead for a few shots. 
The weather is too hot that we really did not stay long. Quite surprised to see mainland Chinese tourists in Nam Sang Wai today. So you know they are everywhere in HK. 
When we first arrived, only two of us occupied the place. 
The tree and the pier! 
Beautiful weather!! 
The reflection! Is it Hong Kong? 
Taking a couple of selfies before leaving. 
Good bye! Save the bump shots for publishing later.

Glass birdie from TaoBao

I m not only shopping for baby stuff. I basically shop everything nice. 
This one is so cool! The birdie will keep my plant hydrated. 
Just RMB25.

由一位中年女士讓座!
可能我的肚子已經非常之大,近日的讓座頻率很高。

Breastfeeding tips

I just worry that my breast milk cannot let down in the first few days. Therefore, I have to avoid these stuff in the first two weeks. 
Thanks my colleague for the tips. 

收奶食物:內臟特別是豬潤,乳鴿,淡豆豉

第十四次

今日係一個大約60歳的伯伯給我讓座,真的不好意思。不過他一起身就跑到老遠,都沒有機會說不用他讓座(其實我覺得他還比我需要這個座位。

然而座著的朋友都是在睡覺、玩手機,一個坐在禮讓座的老伯給大肚婆讓座,而另一位坐在禮讓座的年青人就睡得香甜。 大家都沒有意識坐了在禮讓座就要隨時給座位予更有需要的人。心情很不爽呀呀呀!

百日宴

Cici的囡囡已經100天大,昨晚攪了百日宴。
我在利是封寫上Meiling,阿倫在利是封寫上「哥」。
跟著,這個阿哥好得閒,想一起送上利是。於是,兩封利是變成了「Meiling哥」。
他一直在兩個利是封寫完又寫。

最後的板本是:
Meiling哥
謝偉倫嫂

沒有太多人明白佢的遊戲怎麼被啟發!

Feeling loved!

I am the head of the organizing committee of company's first ever overseas summer outings. But I am 32 weeks during the trip, so I was not advised to travel as I will be likely banned to board the plane. 
However, so many colleagues brought me gifts and souvenirs. I am so touched. 
Apart from this Kailan candle, I also got the famous 洪瑞珍sandwich!! 
How can the bread be so soft?! 

After looking at the photos, I think I have made the right decision because my colleagues look so tiring! I must not survive through the trip.

Our dog is weird!

I am going to report to the Fire Department that my dog is blocking my door for no reason. She even felt asleep. This hurdle is too high for a clumsy pregnant woman.

Mail from Sue!

Hohoho! It's like Christmas! 
I received the parcel from Sue today. Very happy and excited! 
Surprise!! What's inside??
I have got this wax seal too. That's what art class people will buy. Haha
Oh that's baby clothese from J Crew. 
They are so elegant but low profile and Red Bean will be a classy baby girl. 



攰到呢......

大肚婆話瞓就瞓!
我好似剛剛打完blog. 
多謝阿倫幫我記住呢一刻。

每日最開心時段:晚餐

阿倫唔鍾意試新野,晚飯食來食去都係幾間。今日有得試新餐廳了,幾好食, 我最愛餐廳無人,靜靜地又傾計。
Oliva - pizza large $200
伙記問我們有無攪錯左,大pizza好大。 
我們說無問題,請上菜。 
來的時候要放在旁邊的枱,哈哈!
他又偷笑了。
呢個也好吃!

Prenatal Class #4 - Aug 14

Learning how to swaddle a baby in the last class. 
In this class, not much practice-based learning, but a lot talking about the myths   Of pregnancy and new born bb caring. 
It's the end of the class and hopefully we will remember everything with the notes taken down. 

第13次

今天讓座的朋友係一個將於荔景站下車的叔叔。多謝您!最近我肚下面的muscle好痛呀!

又要唱!

「燃亮我意志, 鼓起我勇氣,前面再去創傳奇!」
已經一星期了! 11:30睡,然後凌晨4/5點起身工作,返到工司再開會,加大量工作。每日買兩份早晨,一份lunch hour食。 如果沒有阿倫的支持及接放學,恐怕很難捱過去。可以說現在是憑意志生存。
紅豆,再過兩天我們可以大睡一場!
多謝你頂住我個胃,令我根本不能吃太多,多謝你仍然大力踢我,讓我安心!
我地好快見到光明了! 
我仍然喜歡這份工作,太有成功感了。今年,上天的考驗真的多,不過我絕對無問題啊!

與東海堂無緣!

經過蜜瓜蛋糕在車上融掉的事件,我們一直沒有再買高東海堂蛋糕。其中一個原因是大肚婆不能吃蜜瓜(怒!)
最近,我們想用掉東海堂的禮劵,於是我們買了個柑味蛋糕。
阿倫一從雪櫃拿出來,就返艇,好掃興,也太好笑了。雖然我們試過將一打西餅搖成一件,然後吃掉。但我們沒有預算柑柑蛋糕會毀容。兩個字:傷心。

9 weeks to go!

Today is 31 weeks and 0 day. 
Scary!! Mixed feeling of joy and fear.

Her mini wardrobe

I got all these at a summer sale from seed heritage. So they are a bargain. The shop offers really neutral and cool design. Their clothes are not too feminine which fit my taste. 

By the way, this collection is already good enough for a new born...so I have stopped buying outer wear for her. Just need to buy something for her to wear at home.

Prenatal Class #3 - August 7

We just learnt how to take a shower for baby. Oh it's quite difficult and so many steps! 
1. Wash BB head without taking her clothes! 
2. Wipe her head and start to undress the baby. If bb has pooped, need to clean her bum first. 
3. Add a drop or two bath wash, and quickly wash the baby. 
Hold baby armpit with left hand and then wash baby's front. Change hand and wash baby's back. 
4. Put on the nappy. 
5. Prepare clothes and dress baby up. 
6. Clean belly button after baby is completely dressed and warm. 

There are so many steps. Difficult. Only practices make perfect. 

30 weeks!

OMG! I just got 10 weeks to go before delivery. Time flies too quickly, and I am not ready at work. There are so many stuff to do! I need to take some proper planning in the next two months. 
My advice is not to buy too much maternity wear. I did not like wearing clingy clothes, so most of my normal clothes still fit me! But let's see how my baby pump grows in the last 10 weeks. 

2014/08/06

第十二次

其實,香港還有很多好心人。
距離預產期只有10星期,已經有12個人讓座給我。今次係一位短髮、30多歲的女士。

2014/08/05

第十一次

昨天,得到一位爸爸讓座,佢老婆同bb就座在旁邊。呢位爸爸一定好明白大肚婆的感受。
現在肚子開始大,非常clumsy,有一個位坐吓真係舒服好多。
感謝您!

2014 Birthday Celebration #5 - July (various dates)

My darling has never failed to surprise me, at the same time, I do not put high expectation on birthday celebration as I am growing older and older. 

My birthday celebration just started on one day in July after he brought me white roses and said its for my birthday. Haha. 

Then a few days later, he sent me a really weird surprise!! I started to receive strange what's app messages one day. It's so strange that I even called Ah Lun at lunch time saying that I got bizarre messages. He said, it's like APE pet food online shop, some people always sent useless messages. He suggested me not to worry and no need to delete them. 

On that evening, he just put a ring box in front of me while I was working on emails. Then he said you are so stupid, the sender of these strange messages was him! I was so shocked because I forgot he rehistered a new additional phone card for work. I did not even check the contents of the messages because the first few lines were totally nonsense and scary!! 

Take a look! 

想唔想用1蚊食盡立米比亞美食呢?
你只要係三時正,回復“我係滑嘟嘟” ,就有機會啦,真

錯失了機會?

唔緊要,你重可以用一元五亳食盡格羅茲尼美食呀!你只要係下午二時二十四分七秒,回復“我要食朱古力西瓜炆大鯰魚火鍋蛋糕”,就有機會啦, 唔好再錯失機會啦!

大量格羅茲尼明菜,沙地亞垃百田雞天婦羅,雪菇七友牛腩燴豆腐花水餃,綠茶香蕉爆炒中國河蟹,香菇奇異果馬尾毛厚多士沙冰,等,美食等緊你啦,

冇興趣?

或一時忘記錯過機會?

不要緊!
現送上多一次機會,
請留意下午四時半,
我地會送上新的貨品

機會黎啦,你張會有機會得到塔吉克共和國千年介子乙隻,名貴非常,
此芥子係當年秦始皇在非洲遊玩時,
因迷失去向,又饑寒交迫,卻與上當時兩歲嘅塔吉共和國公主,由於言語不通,公主送上一枝洗頭水,而秦始皇接過洗頭水後一飲而盡,結果這天然冼頭水,救回了秦始皇的命,為此秦始皇送上芥子以答謝塔吉克公主,由於塔吉克內亂,公主張芥子賣掉, 而芥子因此轉到本人手中

現你只要係六時前回復“我靓到識飛”
就有機會得到, 快

芥子已送到府上

Well, there were so many typos but its actually very funny after I knew this was a set up. 回復“我係滑嘟嘟” and all those weird food combinations are so hilarious. 
I am so happy that he spent so much time and effort in presenting the gift for me. I am really really grateful. 

I once got a diamond bracelet from his family when we got married. As the design was not that great, I never wore it. Ah Lun took the bracelet to re-make a ring for me. That's a very smart idea! 
This is a ring to remember my first pregnancy. The four diamonds represent two of us, Kailan and Red Bean. I am speechless. 

Because this is such a great celebration, I did not expect to have more. On my birthday eve, he sent me a creative birthday cake. It's in a form of watermelon, but I know there's something else inside because he will not let me eat watermelon! I really cried because he is treating me so well, and I just don't deserve all these. I think this is the most memorable birthday I have so far. 

It's not pretty but I know it takes time to think, create and prepare. It's also very tasty too because I love jelly since I was young. 

I know I am so lucky!! 

我家是迷你倉!

Because of the accumulating baby stuff, my place looks really like a warehouse. 
Every corner is filled with boxes...

Today is the second last day of my holiday so I take advantage of time to do baby goods shopping as Ah Lun is off. I was not advised to go to BB show as I was told queue up time to get into the bb fair will be at least an hour. So terrible!! 
1. First of all, I got the Stokke Tripp Trapp chair from a parallel goods shop. Apart from baby cot, baby needs to sit somewhere if she is awake. I decided not to choose baby bouncer as I don't want her to rely on the movements to sleep and this type of product is so close to ground which means too close to my doggie, Kailan. As a push factor, Tripp Trapp is a long lasting product (my cup of tea) so it's worth my investment. I did a lot of research this week and found this shop. 
I am saving at least HKD1000 if I buy this set from the shop. Yay! But still the shop does not sell the new born set, we have to order it from mothercare. 
We decided to purchase white chair to match the beige new born set. 
After 6 months, we can use the baby set instead as she can sit upright to eat solid food. Because its parallel goods, we cannot make sure if they still have the offer later, we buy it anyway. 
2. At this company showroom, we also found another useful baby goods. The changing organizer. 
I am such an organized person, so this organizer looks so great. It can hang on the wall, to save table top space. Everything storing in one place, how good is it!! 
3. Baby sleep positioner by Basic Comfort. Due to the bb fair, Eugene baby Store is offering discounts on some promotional items. I like this one because it prevents baby in getting flat head. Prenatal class teacher said we will need to buy sleep positioner because it will prevent milk choking. Now this product offers an additional feature, killing two birds in one stone. 
To my surprise, this was very costly online. HKD119 is so affordable. 

Another view of my nursery room. Here's the baby cot unpacked...
This is a super mini baby cot on the market. It means I don't need another basket or bassinet for my baby because I can move the cot from room to room.

2014 Birthday Celebration #4 - July 31

Happy to meet these mothers and learn lots of great tips. Cynthia will also borrow some baby stuff for me before she gets her baby no.2. 
The place we met is a good Italian place in a quiet corner on 2/F Mira Mall. Quite casual while food is delicious. And it is not too over-priced. The name is called Assagio...
