Peek a Boo I See You...

We are heading around the corner and to the finish line!! From the last post, Lindsey was having a terrible time with nausea from the pregnancy but these past 6 weeks have been pretty smooth. Lindsey has been eating a lot more and her belly is starting to really show. The baby is really active mostly in the early morning hours and after eating and is really kicking hard!! We had a little scare at 28 weeks with a abnormal fasting sugar but luckily, the three hour repeat testing was normal and I am happy to report that the baby is healthy. The most important thing right now is that the baby is healthy knowing that the pregnancy is coming along with no complications is a true blessing.

As I mentioned in the last blog, the baby was confirmed a girl with 80% confidence. With this in mind, we went ahead to decorate the baby room with neutral colors. We are very grateful to our wonderful friend Kristina who graciously took her time to help paint the room and also add a little artistic touch with the hand painted flower decor. Thank you Kristina!!!






This past weekend we decided to do the 3D/4D ultrasound. This procedure ranges anywhere from $150-$250 depending on the package you choose. Of course, I wanted the best for baby so we chose the diamond package which included 20 minutes of DVD video coverage, 8 sepia pictures, 6 black and white pictures, and a 8"x10" photo. Our appointment was at 1 pm and it was important that Lindsey ate a good meal beforehand so the baby would be active. The ultrasound would not only confirm with 100% certainty the sex but also give the weight. This ultrasound was exactly 30 weeks and below is our wonderful baby girl!!

One of the most amazing experiences you will ever have is seeing your child before she is born!!


We are looking forward to the baby shower this weekend and expect many guests. A special thank you to the Vu sisters for taking the time out to organize this event. We also would like to thank everyone who have responded and also would like to thank those who could not come to our baby shower for their wonderful gifts. We truly cherish your generosity and well wishes for our baby to come. Have a wonderful Easter everyone!!

It's Been a Long Time Stranger...

Sorry everyone for the infrequent updates. I had a little "technical" problem with my scanner. A little update on the pregnancy. Lindsey is currently 24 weeks now has been doing better. In the first trimester, she was hardly able to eat anything because of the constant nausea and vomiting. Because of this problem, we had to cancel our planned Vietnam trip for the good of the baby. Needless to say, Lindsey and I were pretty disappointed. We are probably planning on going back to Vietnam when baby gets older. About 6 weeks ago, she was finally able to overcome the nausea and has been gaining a lot more weight.

Five weeks ago, we did our second ultrasound to make sure the baby was doing well and to hopefully find out the sex. It was a very emotional session for the both of us. Just seeing our beautiful creation moving and healthy, transcends words into the world of spirituality. I cannot really describe in words but hopefully you can see the pictures and try to feel what we felt when we first saw our baby in the womb.




And finally.......what do you think the sex is?

















It's a girl!!!


For Lindsey and I, we were very happy that the baby looked healthy. From the scans, the due date is June 10, 2009 which is two days off from the gestational date of June 12,2009. Baby will be a strong Ox and we are looking forward to seeing her soon. Thank you everyone for the kind wishes. I will try to continue to keep updating more frequently.
