32 weeks

February 24, 2011 By Chie

I snapped these photos after I came back from running some errands today. Thank God for the easily accessible self-timer and remote! I lost my remote a while ago, but happened to find it under the couch while I was cleaning. I’m happy that I didn’t rush and buy a new one :p

While I was running some errands, I could not resist the temptation to stop at Mister Donuts. I don’t know if you have Mister Donuts in your country, but it’s awesome. I like Crispy Creame and Dunkin Donuts, but they cannot even compare to Mister Donuts.   Mister Donuts’ donuts are not too sweet and have a terrific soft chewy texture.  Some of them are really fun, they come in the shape of bears or lions  And most come have a whipped cream filling and are covered in chocolate. As I said, I picked one up today and was chowing down while browsing through a shoe store. Then….. I saw myself in the mirror.  I really looked pregnant! Round face, big belly and a donuts in hand. It was quite comical.

I had a doctor’s check up earlier this week, and the baby is doing well. She is estimated to weight 2200 grams now. Since she got big, she cannot fit in one screen for the ultra-sound, and her picture has to be divided in two.

We received some gifts for the baby from our excited family:
My mom made this cute pouch with strawberry zipper charm. I think it would be perfect to carry some small items, like pacifiers?

 From my mother-in-law: some head clips and head bands in different pastel colors. I love little baby girl’s head bands, especially on bald head babies. I wonder if my baby will be born with a lot of black hair like other Asian babies, or be bald..

 More clothes…

 I finally put up the castle decal on  the wall. The nursery still does not look all that exciting.  Hopefully Andy and I can get some more decorating done.

Finally here is a short “behind the scenes” clip from our maternity photo shoot. We had the photos taken at 31 weeks, and are waiting for the finished products – I really can’t wait to see them myself and show you here!
