Thsi week wasn't too bad. Though i was counting and it's still FIVE days before daddy comes home. Yep.. Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon and finally Tues. Poor thing though, he's sick in the city. But tmrw he is going home to grandma tsang's which i am SURE she will take good care of him and whip up some miracle cure or healthy organic homemade chicken soup. :) i miss grandma... i wish we were home now! It's always so nice to go back home to nj... it's calm, relaxing and we get to sleep. :)
Speaking of grandma's though... Grandma wong will be back tonight. We'll prob see her tmrw though. Although mommy's friend Kimmy is coming to town! It will be SO exciting if she really moves here for temporary, a year or so... due to her fiance's job! I'll keep my fingers crossed... would be nice to have a gf from home- like a true gf, it's been years since we've really hung out. :) It will be good to see her tmrw. She's getting married in May next year, so we definitely will be going back to LA for that! I wouldn't miss it for anything... you'll be about 7 mos by then...
Yesterday I was super tired... we went to sleep at around 11, i didn't want to sleep much earlier b/c i was worried if we went to bed at 9pm we'd wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep. But we slept well! except for waking up at 2:45 and not getting back to sleep till about 3:30... but we got to sleep till about 10am this morning, which was nice since we were woken up by banging instead of drilling. but alas, the drilling did start again later on. :p but I feel more rested, and hopefully you do too little girl. :)
This morning though, walking to the car, i felt a gush of trickling. I think i will be oblivious to labor... i questioned if it was the water breaking but it didn't seem like *that* much, like you see in the movies? but it was more than usual too... oh well. i hope i know when labor starts... supposedly i've read that it's a back to fwd tightening, where as braxton hicks is just in the front.
Either way, i hope that little girl, you're still staying put till at least next tuesday!
Mommy has urge to shop... but so many of the little girl clothes is like, sooooooo girlie! i need to find a non-girlie site to get some neat clothes for you... yet at the same time i know you're going to grow up so quickly... but hopefully not too quickly. I'm sure we'll want you to stay little for awhile. :)
Love, mommy & daddy.

Slight scare.
Yesterday we went to see the dr... since we're almost at 36 weeks we're going to be going every week now! Nuts that there really are only about 4 weeks (or less) left! :)
Anyhow, yesterday was quite a scare... the dr started to measure your head (bpd) and it was only measuring 33w+4d (at most) yet your femur length was measuring almost 38w! so either 1) you have long legs or 2) your head stopped growing... or slowed growth. The dr seemed very very concerned so of course, i was too! He measured a few times, and didn't really know what to say... but after the scan he said oh, we need to do detailed b/c we need to make sure everything is alright! I asked what would be the cause of small head, and he said as long as it's not a growth retardation. the "R" word no parent wants to hear... aiya. what scary word! So we made an appt to get a detailed scan at 4:30 in the afternoon- the soonest available.
So after the appt in the morning, i called m... i was on the verge of tears! though i knew everything would be okay, it's just nervewracking! Dr's from what mom says, sometimes are horrible because they instill fear into us... which is i suppose true... but anyhow, at 4:30 i went back to the hospital for a detailed scan. and nervous.
it was done by a dr.chan, 2nd opinion, he seems nice. I don't know if he's a obgyn or a "scan" dr, eitherway though, he measured everything and he said everything looks ok! so her head, the legs, and her internals are all good. there is enough blood (both from the arteries and veins) going into her brain and also thru the umbilical cord... and her lungs are developing nicely he said. She looks healthy! :) that's all, as a parent you can hope and want to hear each time from the doctor. :)
So this morning dr.tsai calls back and says yes, her head is just more oval, so her diameter is measuring smaller but her circumference is okay at 35w. :) thank goodness. we will go back on monday though... not sure if they're going to start pelvic exams yet? no sign of the "plug" yet. :p
what a scare... :( perhaps being a parent, all you worry about is for the safety and health of your child... i know for the rest of your life i'm sure! I guess we'll find out soon enough, this feeling of loving something/someone to the absolute fullest...
--------
On another note... i did stop by to say hello to Natalie, who had her baby jiselle (your 2nd cousin) born on 10/12, 8.bs, 6oz. quite a large one! though she said jayden was 9lbs 1oz. eek! but she looks good, for natalie and the baby is healthy. :)
--------
daddy is sick in the states. he sounds REALLY nasal. tmrw he is going to nyc. i hope he doesn't stay out TOO late, otherwise i'm worried he's going to bring some yucky bug back home... and quarantine would NOT be fun thru HK airport.
grandma wong comes back with your uncle aaron on Friday.
--------
mommy is really tired today despite sleeping from 11pm-930am (woken up by lovely drilling, surprised?! :( ) i need to sleep.. we need to sleep so you can grow more. i hope to stop working soon but at the same time i feel a bit trapped because we can't stay home, b/c the noise... so then maybe we move to grandma wong's house or even great grandma ying... sigh. yawn. tired.
but try to keep growing... mommy wants to listen to her body to sleep, maybe we will leave work early today so we can go home. :)
i love love love you little girl.
big hugs, big kisses... can't wait to meet you!
love mommy (and daddy)

home alone again...
so m left for the states y/day morning. 7am. his flight was at 930 to jfk. longggg flight. i'm a bit sad i can't go back to the states but at the same time i don't envy the 15 hr flight. unfortunately though due to waking up at 630am, we didn't get enough sleep. so by 3pm we left work to go home. little girl though, you were quite active! moving around a lot. which is a good thing, i think. but i hope you're growing. :) shanghainese for dinner... yum.
the upstairs apt however did start to rennovate. so now we have construction both upstairs AND downstairs. soon probably across the hall as well. AND our ceiling in the bathroom is leaking due to the construction. it sucks. i hope that nothing is damanged when i go home today.
daddy said he had pizza, TWICE in lga airport while waiting for his flight. i think we will have pizza tonight. :)
today was a normal day at work. a few things to do since your grandma wong is in the states with daddy and uncle... we did however finally make it to GATEWAY which is a store with american products and in BULK. kinda like costco! we actually bought a few things but i think b/c the store is the basement it's a bit bad, b/c if you're buying in bulk, stuff is HEAVY and you need to lift it up the stairs. anyhow. mommy bought lemonade and iced tea mix. along with some kirkland detergent (free of dyes/perfumes)... some banana peppers too. yum. oh! and i found reese's pb cups! finally! Of course they were SOOO over priced but i bought them anyways. they're actually a lot sweeter than i remember... so i just had one. i could've waited for daddy to bring some back actually but oh well.
there's a few things i need daddy to bring back actually... i need to email him. he actually is in cbus now! but he said he's feeling sick b/c he sat between two ppl on the plane and didn't wear a facemask... i hope he doesn't bring any germs home and gets better soon w/o being sick all week in the states. that would be no fun.
anyhow... we're going to go to the dr on thursday... that will be 36 weeks! so yes... i hope your lungs are maturing and you're growing growing growing!!
love and hugs,
mommy
