It is confirmed!!! I am pregnant 
I had the appointment with the doctor today. I thought my husband was not going with me but to my surprise, he called right before I left my office building. And he went to the doctor’s office with me to hear the confirmation.
The nurse said that I am 4 weeks pregnant. It is still young and early My baby is still the size of a pea. How cute. So far I only told 2 good friends at work whom I know will not tell a single soul in my office. I kept their pregnancy secret–didn’t tell anyone.
They estimated my due date to be January 13, 2010. But of course it could be sooner or later. Oh I can’t wait to be so pregnant this Christmastime
Well. I am going to have another doctor’s visit in 3 weeks. The next appointment is going to be May 21, 2009 (Thursday) at 2.45PM. Sooooo excited. This is the time when we are going to have the first sonogram
I can’t wait to see. I am sure my husband is excited too. He is very happy with the pregnancy news. We have been waiting for months. It amazes me how I still don’t feel like I am prepared at all with this. We tried so hard to save our money and to fix up our house and everything. But things are still out of order. And now I have a plan not to come back to work after the baby is born. I don’t know until how long but I really need to figure something out. I would like to find a work that I can do from home. As for now, we’ll continue to save as much money as possible.
My husband and I don’t know how to break the news to our families yet. Maybe we should wait until we have our next appointment to tell everyone. I can’t wait but at the same time, I think we should wait a bit. I say until I am 2 months pregnant. And then I need to tell my boss about my pregnancy. Like it or not, he’s going to have to accept the news. I am going to break the news to everyone else the same time I break it to my boss. I know a lot of people will be excited for me. A lot of the ladies (and men!) at work have been so anxious waiting for me to get pregnant.
Tonight, I feel happy. I hope God will bless me, my husband, and my pea-size baby with health, happiness, and love from friends and family.
Please keep us in your prayers always
today….

This morning was a bad morning. It was just awful at work. I was so miserable. So anyways. I found out if I wanted to switch to another department, they would have to pay me $37k + 15% bonus. I am currently making $65k+20% bonus. I think the best thing for me is to stick it out until the baby is born and I can quit.
In the meantime, I am starting I can gather up any ideas/etc/etc of what I truly want to do for living soon as I quit my job next April. I am looking to quit my job in April 2010.
My first plan is to start my fabric shop business from home. Apparently I can’t afford to rent a space yet–hopefully someday when my business grows. So I am thinking, why not do it from home and I can just sell them online. I can easily advertise it locally to attract local crafters.
You know. I am so glad I have friends at work who support me wholeheartly. I talked to my 2 good friends today and they made me all better by the afternoon.
Also, I made an appointment to see a doctor tomorrow to confirm my pregnancy. Yay. I am so excited. Too bad my husband wouldn’t be able to be there. But it’s ok. This visit is going to be short. I just want to bring home the good news to my husband and my good friends
I need to read the bible tonight before I go to bed. I need some comfort and I usually find it in God’s words.
everyone but me?

I had lunch with a friend of mine today and we were talking and all of the sudden she said, well you know I am expecting. My first reaction was, wow great. I was happy for her really. Then I started thinking in my head what I am going to make/sew for her baby.
Then when I came back to my work desk, I started thinking in my head… everyone is pregnant but me.
I emailed my friend and told her that I’ll be hosting her baby shower. So this year, so far, I will be hosting 2 baby showers. I am quite excited for both friends to be honest. They are good friends of mine and I will be delighted to host the baby showers.
As for me, I guess I’ll keep on waiting for the stork to come visit us.

Two things.
1. Don’t forget to VOTE tomorrow!!! I am not a citizen so I can’t vote but if you have the right to vote; use it. Choose your leader wisely. I am not endorsing either of the candidates. McCain or Obama are good candidates. Hard to pick one.
2. Remember to enter for the Sex and the City Movie soundtrack CD giveaway. It will be closed on Nov 15. If you already own one, perhaps you could win this one to give to a friend as Christmas stocking stuffer. The CD is fabulous!! I own a copy and I love it. If you are a big fan of Sex and the City the movie (like I do!!!), you gotta own this CD.
Also, I just got back from 2 NKOTB’s concerts–Atlanta and Tampa. They were AWESOME!!!!! I actually got to meet them in Atlanta. I gave them big hugs. I hugged most of them (except Danny, I think) twice!!!!!!!! I felt like 15 all over again. It was a bittersweet moment for me. I wished my sisters were there with me.
NKOTB rocks!!!!!!!!
I spent tons of money. I would say near $2000 in total. I will have to tell stories from the concerts in my next blog.
savannah day 2 and 3

We finished day 2 in Savannah with great success. We started the day with a sweet visit to Back in the Day Bakery (www.backinthedaybakery.com). Tell me what a better way to start your day than having a cupcake as breakfast? I had a Vanilla cupcake with pink icing (it’s basically vanilla on vanilla). My husband got the blue one. We sat on our little table next to the window. I loved every moment I spent in that place. I savored every bite of that cute little cupcake. I even had the courage to order 3 more!!!!!!! to-go of course. I had the chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing, coconut-lemon cupcake, and another traditional vanilla on vanilla cupcake. I left that place happy!!!
We then head off to downtown. The intention was to have small lunch at Paula Deen’s restaurant The Lady and Sons (www.ladyandsons.com) . I saw the menu online the night before and I already knew what I wanted–crabcake. That was it. I love crabcakes so every time I go to a restaurant that serves crabcakes, I always try one. Anyways. After several rounds trying to find a parking spot, we finally parked somewhere and walked to the restaurant. We saw a line–wasn’t that long. But it never moved. So I said to my husband, let me go to the gift shop (there is a gift shop next to Paula Deen’s restaurant–it’s owned by Paula). I was at the store for about 5 mins when my husband came up to me and said, we can’t lunch at the restaurant. I asked why. He said because we didn’t have a reservation. Ah what a bummer. We left the place.
I decided to visit a kitchen store called Kitchen on the Square. It is located not too far from Paula’s restaurant. I bought all sorts of cookie cutters, pie weigh, and some scoopers. I really took my time at the store. I just loved it.
Well, by the time I finished shopping, we felt kinda hungry. So we decided to eat at a small restaurant called Zunzi’s (http://www.zunzis.com/). We’ve always gone there everytime we visit Savannah. They have vegetarian-friendly menus. I orderd my favorite Portabello Mushroom’s sub (served on a baguette). Oh it is sooooo yummmyyy!!!! And it is HUGE!!!! My husband had the Beef Curry served on white rice. We both ordered African sweet tea (one of the owners is from South Africa). It was the perfect lunch. Affordable and very very good for your tummy.
After that great lunch, we decided to do some window shopping. We walked around downtown Savannah (Broughton street). I bought an antique gilded mirror ($60); bought two lottery tickets ($2); bought one supersize + super cute ring ($32); and bought 2 vintage wire caddies–different sizes and style ($21 and $10). I saw some cute clothes but they were too expensive so I didn’t buy them.
We also went window shopping on Whitaker street. We visited so many great furniture shops on that street. I found a cute little boutique called Custard (www.custard.com) that sells chic clothes mostly for under $100. The owner showed me a rack that filled with 40% off clothes. I found several pieces I loved and decided to buy 3 of them ($182).
It was already past 5 when we finished shopping. We deciced to go back to our hotel to walk our dogs. We spent few hours with the dogs before we headed back to downtown (River street) area to grab dinner. That evening we went to have dinner at Tubby’s Tank House (www.tubbystankhouse.com) on River street. The lines was long so we had to wait about 45 minutes. We walked along the River street to kill time. I bought some sweet goodies at The Peanut Shop (www.thepeanutshop). We visited many other shops as well. There were so many local artists showing off their talents that night and we truly enjoyed that. We had a good time that evening!!!
We left Savannah the day after in the morning. Before we left, we grabbed some breakfast. I ordered a to-go breakfast from the Firefly cafe (www.fireflycafega.com) –spinach and crab omelette and strawberry+banana smoothie. Breakfast was good but a bit pricey. My husband had some Gyro at a Greek restaurant on River Street. It was good–and affordable– he said.
While we were driving, we passed a Dog park!!! We decided to stop by. The dog park (www.savannahdogpark.com) is not a public dog park so you would actually have to have a membership but since we were visiting, they let us stay. The dogs loved it. They were running around–happy. We stayed there about an hour and a half. We continued our trip to the Forsyth park. We put the dogs on their leash and we walked around the park with them. Fun!!!!!!!! They enjoyed meeting new people. They sniffed and wagged their tails to everyone they met.
When we left Savannah, we felt so tired but very happy indeed. Our dogs were too tired to do anything else but sleep in the car. What a fun weekend we had. I enjoyed this trip as much as my other trips to this city. Savannah will always be in my heart.
I cannot wait to go back there again in the fall….

what makes you happy?
My husband, my families, my pets, and my bestfriends are the ones who make me happy. They keep me going everyday. I am very thankful to have them in my life.
My husband is my soul mate. I love him dearly. My families are my roots. They keep me grounded. My pets give me everlasting love. They always give and never expect anything back. My bestfriends are so understanding. My one bestfriend right now, Erica is so sweet. She listens to whatever problems I have. She never judges me. She never says anything bad to me. I am so grateful to know her and her family–who is soooo nice to me.
Today, I just want to thank God for everything I have in my life. I am so lucky. Very lucky. I have just about everything I need in life–love and good companies. I hope that I will always have them until the day I die.

Last night, my husband and I were invited to my bestfriend’s family’s house for dinner and to play Wii again. It was so much fun. The foods were good and we enjoyed playing Wii so much. I brought dessert to the dinner gathering. I have told them next time, I will bring dinner for everyone.
Tonight I have to work night, as well as Saturday and Sunday nights. Next week from Wednesday – Friday, my husband is going to be in St.Petersburg. I asked for time off from work but they denied my vacation request. I have to work Thursday – Sunday (days) next week. Sucks.
After next week, I will be off for a week. I am going to take my little sister and my bestfriend to Walt Disney World. I think I’ll ask if my husband would like to go.
I am tired. I am going to go to sleep again for an hour and wake up at 4.15 to get ready for work. Blah.
