a boy again!

March 10 / 17 weeks

I'd thought girl names, but guess what... it's a boy AGAIN and due in middle Aug. I do help the birthrate of boys continue to grow in Taiwan. I plan to make my Master's thesis oral presentation by the end of July, so I can get my degree this summer. Well, I'll just be getting busier in the coming months!

My son’s crazy about vehicles, such as a car, bus, or truck. He loves to play with his toy cars and trains, imagine something like vehicles, look at the pictures, and imitate ambulance sirens everyday!

My baby moves more than his brother. My 1 year and 9 months old can speak short sentences, but has only 9 teeth. It's funny he sometimes poses as his expectant mother!

May 5 / 25 weeks

I saw one more bouquet of carnations in my vase when arriving in my classroom this afternoon. How delightful! Thank you, anonymous person. My baby's 639g. The doctor told me that I have a short cervix and that there is a possibility to have a premature baby. This is frightening for me. Oh~ baby, please don't come too early. Let's welcome you and celebrate mommy's graduation together this Aug., ok? Good news is my son a fussy eater, has 11 teeth!

May 18 / 26 weeks

Feeling fetal movements is fantastic! I tried not to let my baby gain too much weight. I've gained less weight than my first pregnancy, and my baby weighed 980g. Smaller than his brother.

My son can recognize and name a number of letters! He has 12 teeth. He hates having his teeth brushed and always screams when his dad brushes his teeth.

June 8 / 29 weeks

My mother and brother are taking a trip to Japan this afternoon. My dad and I will take my 1 year and 10 months old to see them off at the airport. My son must be excited to watch the planes take off and land.

It’s burning hot! I take a shower 4 times a day!

June 16 / 31 weeks

My baby weighed 1.5kg at 30 weeks. The doctor told me my baby is in a breech position so I need to try certain position at home that may help turn my baby. Hope it works!

June 27 / 32 weeks

I'm feeling stressed because of my studies, eye problem, flea bites, and baby in a breech position.  It's annoying that I have to fight against fleas in the busy days! I'll go to the hospital to have my left eye checked today. Hope all is well.

June 29 / 32 weeks

Good news was my baby turned head-down and the doctor said he has big eyes! He's 1.7kg at 32 weeks. His brother was 2kg then and born at 38 weeks. I think my baby will come before 40 weeks so I need to eat more. Well, bad news is we're still fighting against fleas. :-(

July 20 / 35 weeks

I love eating fruit during this pregnancy. My baby's 2550g. He grows fast and his muscles are stronger. I like to touch my belly and feel his movement. He seems to move more gently than his brother, who can speak well now.

Finally, committee member list and the date of oral were done last Friday after I made several phone calls, and it's just 1 week before my final oral on 22nd! My thesis was bound on 18th. I went to the hospital to have my left eye checked yesterday and will see the doctor next Monday. Hope everything goes fine.

July 31 / 37 weeks

I felt my baby's head has already descended into my pelvic cavity and it gives me a good appetite. This baby treats me nice. I rarely get spasms or itchy skin.

Today's my son's 2nd birthday (we bought him a Thomas Train as a present) and I just emailed my corrected thesis to my professor! relaxing~

Aug. 18 / almost 40 weeks

My baby weighed 3250g at 39 weeks. He's big enough and I already finished assignments of both summer courses I take! Hope he's ready to come out. My 2 year old has started to stammer since last week. Why??? Sometimes he doesn't stammer at all.
