16 weeks and counting!
16 weeks have passed and the baby is growing rapidly inside my tummy. I have been feeling more tired as the weight increases (7 pounds more from my original weight already!). The bulge is showing a bit but I could still get away to playing golf last week at Kau Sai Chau. It was nice to be back after 2+ years since our accident.
Our journey of spreadsheets has begun where we are starting to gather all information required, things such as shopping list, baby budget, important decisions (maid or no maid), nursery, etc. They all seem a bit overwhelming but I am sure Ian will lead us through all those!
Clothes are starting to be snug now, and I am still trying my best to fit into the normal ones! The maternity clothes here in Hong Kong could probably be categorized as the most “hideous” fashion in the world. It is really a wonder why such a cosmopolitan city can allow pokka dot, ribbon & bow on the tummy & teddy bear and butterfly at bottom of pants / dresses on the street! It is a crime! Anyhow, I am determined to be fashionable (at least be myself in the next 5 more months) and that will mean shopping, shopping, shopping – he he he! Life is tough when you are pregnant.
Future Daddy is doing fab although work is getting quite busy for him. The poor guy is also getting all the wonderful flutuations of pregnancy mood swings! But we are loving this process and can’t wait to be sleep deprived!
Much love from Hong Kong. Thanks to all those who dropped us a note – take good care – keep checking us out!

It is overwhelming isn’t it? It really seemed to happen so fast. All of a sudden there was so much that we hadn’t done. 9 months SEEMS like a long time but it went by in a flash! It’s still going fast… Aly is 8 months old today! My entire maternity wardrobe came from the Gap!

Enjoy your pregnancy process & it is going to be so different after next 6 months. Still remember I like shopping….now I only shop for my baby & I did not really buy much for myself….how’s different.
Believe it or not…I did not really buy much for maternity clothing. I bought the A.B.S. dress in size 8 or size 10, it dress so nice, all my friends asked me where did I get the fancy & stylish maternity clothing!!! I purchased most of my maternity career clothing & few dresses from http://www.apeainthepod.com, you may like it !!!
Once again, congulations …..I can’t wait to see your newborn baby. I am happy for both of you!!!
