Spring Cleaning

Been busy as usual... Thank god for that one extra day we had for Memorial Day weekend, I was able to pack away Tristan's winter clothes and take out his tshirts and shorts for the summer. Also got my husband to finally get rid of those 1990 jeans and khakis he no longer fits into, those pants I call the bottom dwellers. They just sit there for years but hubby insists if he goes on a diet he will fit in them one day. So 3 big bags of clothes later, we emptied out half the closet for new clothes. I also packed away most of my pre-pregnancy clothes and now my dresser only has maternity wear.

In 3 months + 2 weeks, another person will be living in our house and I have to plan ahead where to put his clothes. I have go into storage and dig out all of Tristan's baby clothes for his brother. It was a coincidence that I didn't have (more like too cheap to buy) plastic bins to store Tristan's old clothes so I used diaper boxes. Now I can figure out the different sizes just by the diaper size! I'm a f*ckin genius!!! :-)

Ultrasound Shocker

So yesterday, I had a 4PM appt for my 20 week ultrasound. I'm almost 22 weeks now, but we couldn't schedule it earlier since my husband was traveling.

As some of you might know, at our 12 week ultrascreen (NT Scan), the nurse and doc both told us we were having a girl. But yesterday, when we asked the nurse to confirm again, she found a penis and told us we were having another boy!

We were in shock, well at least I was. Since we found out it was a girl 2 months ago, my husband always believed and hoped the baby would grow a penis and his dream came true. As for me, I was preparing myself mentally to raise a daughter. I was even thinking to myself, should I put her hair up? Should I do pony tail or pig tails? Since I'm not a fan of pink, how am I going to dress my baby girl in non-pink colors???

I did not realize how happy I was to hear it was another boy until they told us yesterday. I guess it was meant to be for me to be the mother of 2 boys. I loved my son since the day he was born and always wanted another one just like him, my dream came true too.

Now, we have trouble reprogramming Tristan to call my growing tummy "dai dai" (little brother)... he keeps calling it "mui mui" (little sister) still.

Mother's Day

This is the second mother's day for me. Last year, I don't even remember if there was a celebration. My son was only 10 months old and I did not expect him to do anything for me obviously.

This year, I did not expect anything either since he's still young, and my husband and I really don't celebrate these hallmark holidays. I did have to work this entire weekend so while I was packing up my bag to stay at the hotel near my office, my son said "mommy" and walked in with a little tiffany bag. My first response was to yell at him for playing with my jewelry again.

I looked at him for a second and realized it was a gift from my husband. I was really shocked and opened the gift with my sweet little boy in my lap. It was a butterfly pendant from Tiffany's. I took off the old necklace I had on for years and replaced it with this new shiny one. :-)
