Update on Shubing

<-- Shubing at 18 weeks.

Well, can't believe it's already 1 year since our wedding. And now the next event is the baby, which is due on Oct 10th, 2008. We will wait until the birth to see if it's a boy or a girl. We have not started to pick names yet, so start sending us your suggestions!

Shubing is in her 5th month now. During her first trimester, she would feel nauseous daily, but not throw up. Only time she throws up is if she gets hungry and doesn't eat something quickly! As well, things that she usuaLly like to eat are have become a turnoff! She would cook something for dinner, and then not feel like eating it anymore.. we would shop for groceries, and she then feels it's not what she wants to eat.. kinda funny!

Now that she is in her second trimester, things are much better. Her appetite has improved, but she now prefers to eat foods that are not too strong in taste. Surprisingly, Shubing has taken a liking to Western foods, like subs, burgers and even hotdogs! We ate a lot of free burgers during the Harvey's Angus Burger promotion! As well, she has taken a liking to ice cream and milk shakes, but that's my fault actually :-) We found a place with $1 milkshakes, and now I make them at home using my blender with vanilla ice-cream and various fruits (have tried strawberry and papaya). Yummy!

The bump has grown in size quickly the past 2 weeks. It went from not-noticeable to noticeable. Shubing has started to wear maternity clothes, as her normal clothes now do not fit or are uncomfortable. As well, she tires quickly during the afternoons while at work.

I plan to capture the baby's growth and Shubing's bump size, and track it up to the childbirth. Check back regularly for updates.
