Week 16 @ peggyhuang1 :: 痞客邦 ::

It's been a while since I wrote a blog. Nothing much happened, our daily life is as normal as can be. Today I am 15 weeks and 2 days pregnant, so in my 16th week. Next Friday I will have another OB appointment, hopefully we can set up an ultrasound soon after that. can't wait to see baby and find out what it is, a girl or a boy.

Jacob is having a field trip right now, they will all take the school buses and go to see a play in Richardson high school. Hope he has lots of fun!

Next week will be a busy week because both boys' classes have valentine parties and I will be in both. Here the Valentine's day seems like a big deal, everyone is buying cards or gifts or flowers. Even little kids have to exchange cards with each other to show friendship. Which really makes me wonder why the schools don't celebrate religious holidays but treat Valentine's day an important event. Strange.

I returned the baby doppler this morning after Yoga workout. Took me a while to find the Fedex dropbox, I had to stop and ask a Fedex worker(in his truck). Yesterday I listened to the heartbeat with the dopper for the last time and I recorded it on the digital camera, the baby's heartbeat was as strong as usual, and I was glad I got to record it. Maybe soon I will figure out how to post it on here. The baby swam away from the doppler several times I guess he/she didn't like to be bothered

Last Saturday morning Philip and I took the boys to home depot to do the kids craft they provide once a month. It was fun, the project was very easily, the heart shaped napkin holders, which took daddy and the boys about 5 minutes to finish. Then after we got home, after lunch, we went to the trail for the boys to bike and we took walks. It was a wonderful time out in the woods. We all enjoyed the fresh air and exercise a lot. I enjoy each minute of our family time together. Now daddy is so busy with work and school, it seems even more valuable when we can all be together and just hang out. This Monday because the boys were off from school Daddy took a day off as well. For the whole weekend the boys enjoyed working in the side yard with daddy to lay the granite tiles. Usually mommy would use that time to take a nap...

Within a few days daddy probably lifted several thousands of pounds of tiles!! I feel sorry I can't help but being pregnant is surely a good excuse !! hehe.
Our side yard will look very beautiful by the time summer comes. And we can all play on the tile ground instead of the useless grass.

I've been thinking about names for the baby. Right now I have several in mind, for a girl, I like Summer Grace, Acacia Grace, Madalyn Zoe, or Briana Grace. For a boy Philip suggested Joseph because in the old testament he was the youngest son of Jacob and at the end was the blessed one who saved his family and his people. We are not very good in picking boys' names but I am sure by the time baby comes we will have something for him/her to be called.

I called daddy(mine) again yesterday morning and we got to chat a bit. It's always nice to talk to my beloved daddy. I am glad we can talk to each other with no hinderance. It's wonderful to have such a loving father.

We had chicken(mushroom sauce) and rice and spinach/tofo soup for lunch. Timothy ate a big bowl of each, and me too, so full now I am yearning for a nap!!
