We are driving to Orlando. We will be staying in the Coronado Springs Resort. The first time we went, this is where I wanted to stay but we ended up at Caribbean Beach Resort, although it wasn’t a bad choice.

I need to start doing research to see what are the must do’s. I am so happy!!

Squishy…

Pregnancy Flashback:

When we first saw the baby’s ultrasound, we were in awe. It was amazing that we were looking at someone who was growing inside of me. The funny thing is we both pictured two different things: Eric pictured Tweety and I pictured ET. Don’t ask. LOL!

After getting a copy of the ultrasound, I decide to call the baby “Squishy.” Don’t know why it came to me all of the sudden and it fit perfectly. In the movie Finding Nemo, one of the main characters, Dory, finds a baby jellyfish and says “I shall call him squishy, and he shall be mine, and he shall be my squishy!”

Not sure why I thought of this line but it just felt perfect. So for the reset of my pregnancy, the baby was known as Squishy.

Happy Valentine’s Day Diego!

Stupid person…

We were driving home last night.  It was snowing and snowing.  We were driving on an unplowed side street, you know the kind the city plows last.  We were heading towards a intersection with the green light for us.  Eric was probably driving 10-15 mph.  We saw a guy who starts crossing the street without even looking to see if anyone is coming. Eric softly starts to break but he started to slide. Thankfully, the guy was already more that half way across the street but still! If he would have hit the guy, whose fault would it be? Eric’s of course.  I just couldn’t wait to get home.

I wonder what the guys was think when he decided to cross the street.  There was a bus stopped at corner so maybe he just wanted to get to it.  But still, should he just look both ways before crossing the street?  He did not even do that.  Stupid, stupid, stupid!

According to the meterologist, the storm advisery is extended from midnight to 9 am tomorrow.  I just can’t wait for this snowstorm to be over.

5 am…

Diego woke up at 5 am this wonderful morning.  I knew already that he was going to wake up early but I am (gratefully) surprised it was at 5 and not 1 am.

Why did I know this?  Because the night before, he drank 10 ounces of juice before he went to bed.  When he does this (and I try to avoid it because of this), he has the tendency to soak himself.  His diaper cannot hold the amount necessary to not soak himself.  It was crazy.  Soaked his diaper, onesie, pajamas and his crib sheet.

As expected he was not happy.  I had to strip him down.  Thankfully Eric helped out.

After getting him into dry clothes and a dry diaper, I sat down in his rocking chair.  It was 5:30 am.  We eventually fell asleep.  I woke up at 6 am but I had a dilema:  1) Put him in the crib and risk him waking up or 2) just stay in the chair and be uncomfortable for the next hour and half.  Chose option 2 of course.

Things we do for our children.  =)

Bears lost…

Boo hoo!  It was a sweet run but it has ended.

The Bears started the game with an excellent quarter.  They were so there.  But for the rest of the game, who knows where they were hiding.  I was so dissapointed in the defense and the offense.  But there is always next year.  And we will be supporting them like always.  GO BEARS!

Here are his stats:

Weight: 26 lb 13 oz (60-70%)
Height: 33 3/4 in (85%)
Head: 19 3/4 in (95%)

Diego is getting taller and getting skinner. =D

He got one shot today. His first one given to him on the arm. Eric held/hugged him to keep him still. I was trying to get Diego’s attention so he wouldn’t look at the nurse giving him the shot. But he kept looking at his arm. Nurse gave him the shot and not a flinch from the boy. Nothing! I was so proud.

Chinese Wedding…

angie1 Comment

We went to a traditional Chinese wedding on Saturday. How come no one warned us to pace ourselves during dinner? It was family style dinner. They kept bringing food and more food and then more food. 😯 First there was the seafood appetizer, then there was a seafood salad, then the lobster dish, a fish dish, chicken, more seafood dishes, noodles and then some rice. Then there was a couple of desserts and cakes. OMG! We were stuffed to the gills.

The bride is Chinese and the groom is Vietnamese. So there was three different people translating everything in Chinese, Vietnamese and English. The bride had four different outfits. Here white wedding dress, a traditional Chinese wedding dress and a traditional Vietnamese wedding dress. Plus, she changed into something more comfortable to dance the night away. It was fun! The pictures will be posted soon on their website. Can’t wait to see them!
