I just want to say "thank you" to everyone for visiting my blog in spite of my absence for almost a month now.
I also want to let you know that this blog is far from being abandoned. It's just that on the 6th week of my pregnancy, I started to feel soooo lazy. But please be assured that I check your messages everyday...
So this is pregnancy... Although you don't want to be so sensitive about the things around you, there are just so many things you can't also control. I feel different every week but I just always think about how ate Wendy described her pregnancy: glorious 9 months... Yes indeed. You'd feel difficult but thinking of how healthy your baby would be just makes you endure all the more.. and savor every part of it..
And our new home... it's still far from being shiny, haha! I thank my husband for not complaining too. You see, he's doing all the cleaning and fixing. He'd just say he knows this is not the usual me so he's willing to endure for 7 months more, haha! I'm just soo lazy right now. I cook though. I apologized to Alex when we went to the (Lotte) mart yesterday and told him to just visit his mom this Sunday if he misses her cooking, especially his favorite soup. He just said he'd rather spend the day with me in the house and fix some more. Er, he just requested I cook soft tofu stew. Then he told me that Woongjin will be delivering one or two (?) bigger air cleaner(s) courtesy of his 2nd older sister who works for the company. I know how my 2nd sister in law cares for us very much. Everytime her department gets awarded for topping the sales for the month, she'd send us gifts like my beautiful rice cooker (which we left behind at the old house because MIL gave away their old but still good cooker), a drinking water purifier, a Looloo (shower water purifier), and one of the two air cleaners we have here at home right now (and she's actually going to change them into bigger ones)...
Last Sunday, my friends Em, Tessa and Anne visited me here. Everyone expected me to be eating a lot, since they cooked a lot but I'm just among those preggy women who can't eat full meals. Being at the 3rd month of my 1st trimester, I still find it hard to eat sometimes. But of course, I'm not neglecting the health of my baby.. Everything I do and eat now is for my baby...
Last Saturday too, was my scheduled follow up check up with my ob-gyne. Alex looked really excited and nervous as hte doctor explained to him how our baby is developing. The baby has grown so much and by this weekend, he's as big as a grape already. I felt sad though when the doctor told us to go back on July 3 for another check up. I expected to go back after 2 weeks again. It's quite addicting to be able to see your baby's development through the ultrasound. But he told me to be happy and confident since our baby is actually healthy and that he doesn't see anything wrong at all..
I'm also thankful that there are 2 Catholic churches here at Yang-gok. Alex actually showed me where they are. He would always ask me to lead the prayer whenever we visit the church or before we sleep at night.
Most of all, I thank my mom for checking out on me from time to time.. Being the first among her girls to get pregnant, I just could imagine her happiness and anxiety at the same time. Her voice just soothes me.. She'd always tell me not to worry.. that I'll know what to do.. Thank you mom..
