I’m pretty much carrying the same ladies…Here’s a comparison.

Here I am with Zoe in the oven at 28wks.                                 Here I am with my new ass kicker in the oven at 28wks.
       

Honestly I know I’ll be surprised if it’s a girl and everyone has their opinion on what it’s going to be but honestly nobody knows. It’s in God’s hands and those are the best hands to be in.

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
Zoe is really possessive of me. Especially when it comes to her father. Sometimes he’ll try to get a rise out of her on purpose just to tease her. So last week Zoe and I were in bed and he came and wedged his big man body between us and then those two started to argue.

Zoe: Noooo don’t touch my mommy.
Hubs: I can touch her if I want to. She’s my wife.
Zoe: No! She’s MY wife! (climbing over him to reposses what is hers-me)
Hubs: I’m married to her!
Zoe: No I marry mommy! MY mommy!
Hubs: Nope. She’s mine.
Zoe: No ahpah! MY mommy. Leave her alone.
Hubs: No she’s my wife.
Zoe: She’s MY wife!
Hubs: You’re not married to her!
Zoe: I marry her!

I think this went on for like 2 minutes or so. I feel so wanted. Hahaha
Since then they’ve had 2 more arguments about this. One time she cried. Hahaha

:: Gestational Diabetes ::
I had to get tested for Gestational Diabetes at 27 weeks which was about 3 weeks ago. Everthing turned out fine and I have to tell you that the orange flavored drink didn’t taste that bad this time. I’m always a little worried when it comes to this test since my mother was diagnosed with type II diabetes. And they say that if you do end up getting gestational diabetes during your pregnancy you have a higher chance of getting diabetes later in life. Here’s an article I found about how the numbers for GD is actually going up -  Article. Another interesting fact they list is that Korean-American and Filipino-American women have twice the risk of GD compared with Caucasian and African-American women.


:: Month 6 ::
I am actually at month 7 now. Shows how bad I am at keeping up with this for baby number two. I have 10 more weeks to go! It seems so far away but 10 is still better than 40 weeks away! WOOHOO! We still don’t know the sex. It should be a nice surprise. I still think it’s a girl all because it’s so similar to the first pregnancy. HOWEVER this one has been super active to the point where I think it’s going pull the “Alien” scene and just pop out of my belly. Sometimes the way it moves it hurts my belly. My bladder has gone to shit. I wear pads. You know why? Cause I’m scared of leakage. I feel like an 82 year old in a 25 year old’s body. Ok shut up. So I subtracted 10 years. SO WHAT!!! I feel 25. So I am only as old as I feel. Haters. Shut up. I think I’m going to schedule a 4D ultrasound like I did for Zoe for next month.
              

I like how Zoe is in some of the background photos. It’s nice. It’s like when we look back her little brother/sister will no she was waiting for them too.
          
       

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
This actually just happened about an hour ago. We’re lying in bed watching James and the Giant Peach and then out of the blue she wants to stuff Mr Pink up her shirt.

Zoe: Mommy look at my baby. I have a baby inside like mommy. He’s sooo cute.
Me: Oh yeah? How old is your baby?
Zoe: Two. No, no! Zero.
Me: Zero years old?
Zoe: Yeah. Mommy! My baby is kicking me! Say baby no kicking.
Me:  Baby no kicking.
Zoe: Belly cheers! (we bump bellies)

Biter. Why you gotta copy everything I do? Why you gotta go and try to steal my pregnancy thunder?

She refused to take it out so….

:: 08.26.10 :: Zoe’s Pregnant Too
 

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
Last week we were all sick. We gave Zoe Cherratussin at night so she wouldn’t wake in the middle of the night from coughing. She, however, HATES it!. She sees the syringe coming and she just starts to cry. So I have to pin her arms down while the hubs squeezes it into her open mouth. She’ll stop crying after she eats it and wash the taste away with some milk. I’ll ask her if she’s mad and she’ll say “Yes.” Hahah we don’t care. So C was trying to tell Zoe how she should watch me eat medicine and that I’m a big baby. So I found out at towards the end of the week that I could take Robitussin while I’m pregnant. You should have seen those two. It was as if they were waiting for my perfomance of a lifetime. The hubs would pour my medicine in the measureing cup and then he would sit across from my Indian style while Zoe sat on his lap and they would just sit there with anticipation. I really do hate syrupy medicine though. Nyquil, Robitussin, whatever, you name it. I’ll hate it.

Me: Ok, give me a countdown. Zoe count to 3.
Zoe: Onetwothree!
Me: No that’s too fast!
Hubs: Hahaha Zoe count with me…One….
Zoe: One….
Hubs: Two…
Zoe: Two…
Hubs: Three…
Zoe: Three!
Me: (drinking it and then scrunching up my face as if I bit into a lemon)
Hubs: Hahaha. Zoe look at mommy’s face.
Zoe: Hahaha you big baby mommy!
Hubs: Mommy is a big baby!

They did this two nights in a row. Where they would sit there and point their fat fingers and just make fun of me for like 2 minutes after I would eat my medicine. Jerks.

I think we’re going to the Yo Gabba Gabba Live show this friday! I’m just waiting for everything to be confirmed. I think I’m just as excited as Zoe. I know, I’m sad!
Lately her favorite show has been Umi Zumi on Nick Jr. I think she likes it cause Milly can change her dress pattern into whatever she wants. Zoe’s gotten really girly. Like for 3 weeks straight she only wanted to wear a dress or skirt to school. If I happen to have on a dress or skirt the same time as her she’ll hold the bottom of her skirt up and say “dress cheers” and we have to tap skirts. She’s really into princesses. I think I’m actually going to write a whole entry on just her princess phase lately. It’s actually amusing. I need to get some of this stuff on video. This morning on our way to school her favorite line was “…for a little while.” This was the conversation she was having with me in her car seat while I drove…

Zoe: Mom! Mom!
Me: Yes?
Zoe: After school I want to watch Yo Gabba Gabba for a little while.
Me: Ok.
Zoe: And then I just want to sit for a little while and then watch Umi Zumi for a little while.
Me: Ok
Zoe: And then for a little while I want to sit here in the car. For a little while.
Me: Ok.

After her ‘for-a-while’ conversation she also started to sing a song that sounded new but I couldn’t hear it clearly and she said “Mom! I singing a song!” So I told her to sing it again so I could hear it.

Zoe: Sunday, Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday, Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiday, Saturday.

 SHE KNOWS HER DAYS OF THE WEEK! She was singing it to the tune of the first line of ‘Clementine’.  I was so surprised. I love her going to school!

:: 08.07.10 :: Visiting Halmeh
A few weekends ago we drove down to Philly to stay with my mom for the weekend. She was diagnosed with osteoperosis earlier in the summer and had a little fall so since my sister was going away for the weekend to visit her in laws we decided to come down and hang out with my mama. It was nice though. I don’t get to see her enough. Zoe was a little disappointed that cousins Owen and Kayla weren’t around though. We hit up a playground near my mother’s house. I remember they were building this when I was in highschool. This playground was built in 6 days with 3400 volunteers and so many donors. This has got to be hands down the best playground I have ever been to. It was like the mother of all playgrounds. I’ve driven by it but I’ve just never actually gotten to check it out till now. Well now that I have a child of my own. I think we’re gonna have to come here everytime we go down to visit the relatives now. I wished that I wasn’t prego so that I could’ve run around with Zoe more. There’s even a lot of picnic tables by the entrance of the playground. I would sooooo throw a birthday party here if I lived down there.
         





         

         
       




           

:: 08.08.10 :: Having breakfast w/ Halmeh

   

Can’t wait for the next one in….2012? He claims we are not taking our newborn anywhere during the first year.

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So last night the hubs was brushing Zoe’s teeth. He always props her head on a pillow and makes her lie down and he brushes her teeth as she looks up at him. Sometimes she still gets fussy and antsy. So when she is good she wants to make sure that it is recognized. So after about 30 seconds in I could tell she wasn’t listening and he threatened to hit her. She was still being a punk so he grabbed her foot and I heard this little slap.  If I were Zoe, I would have laughed in his face at his slap. I think he’s scared that she’s going to like hate him. So as I was walking by I said…

Me: You didn’t even hit hard. You’re such a wus.
Hubs: (laughing)
Zoe: (pushing the toothbrush out of her mouth) Don’t hit. You’re such a wus. Unbelieval! (she’s trying to say unbelievable)
Hubs: What did she say?!
Me: Hahah She called you a wus.

After about a minute into the brushing I heard her say to her dad…
Zoe: (pushing the brush out of her mouth) Tell my mommy I listening.
Hubs: Ok. Mommy, she’s listening.

A few seconds later they were done and as she’s crawlling over to me on the bed she says…
Zoe: Mommy. I listen! It’s a lie!

What are you talking about?! No one said you weren’t listening you crazy girl.

:: 07.12.10 :: Playa Del Carmen/ Heading Home :: Day Nine
Oh thank God this is the last entry! Don’t get me wrong. I loved our vacation but I feel like I’ve been on this topic FOREVER since I’ve been taking forever and a day just to post up an entry. I didn’t realize it was nine days. This whole time I thought it was eight! On this day we woke up, packed up our crap and headed to the airport. It was a nice long vacation but we were all ready to go back to ”Zoe’s castle” (mmmhmm that’s what she calls our house). I like the photo of her sitting on the gray chair. We grabbed a table and we were waiting for the hubs to pick up some food for us. So I whipped out my camera and everytime she thought I would take her photo she’d turn away. Then I’d yell out “HA. HA. I took it!” and then she’d turn to look which is when I’d actually take her photo. Haha we did this like 5 times. On the flight home she was really good again. We were really proud of her on the plane going there and coming home. She’s like that kid that you wouldn’t mind sitting behind you on a 5 hour flight. 13 hours I’m sure would be a COMPLETELY different story! I think she also felt like a big girl cause she got to use regular seat belts which she liked to click on and off and she got her own seat. By the time we walked in through our front door it was past 11pm.

                                     

                                      


My tips on travelling with kids on planes:
-Book an early flight. Have them sleep late and wake up early so they pass out on the plane. I think for this trip Zoe slept at like 11ish and we woke her up at 6am.
-Pack coloring books and crayons.
   I also bought her some colored pencils for this trip.
-Pack quiet toys that don’t take up too much room in your bag and only bring them out one at a time when they really start to get fussy.
   For this trip I bought her new Toy Story miniatures and Wikistix
-Pack books
   For this trip I let her pack one thick Disney princess book which had PLENTY of stories to last her 2 weeks.
-Snacks, a juice box, and a bottle of water.
-A dvd player with a dvd book of her movies and headphones
   Make sure that when you purchase a dvd player that it has a lock button so if you’re kid is really young they won’t be able to mess with the buttons. And make sure that the battery life is really good. Ours is only 2 hours.
-Also an ipod with their favorite music loaded up wouldn’t be bad either if they enjoy music.

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
A few weeks back I picked up Zoe from school and we were driving home. Just out of curiosity…

Me: Zoe this car that mommy’s driving, is it your car or mommy’s car?
Zoe: My car.
Me: Um, no. It’s mommy’s car.
Zoe: No mom it’s MY car.
Me: You don’t even know how to drive it!
Zoe: I do! I do. You put the keys in the hole and go vroom vroom.
Me: Ok. It’ s your car.

I woke up yesterday morning at 6 so I decided to go down and pack Zoe’s lunch first while editing some photos in between. When I came up to check on the hubs I saw him cuddling with Zoe who was still sleeping. I told him to hurry up and take a shower so that when I’m done downstairs I could just jump in the shower. His answer to me was so sad…..

Hubs: Let me just hold her for a while she’s sleeping since she rejects when she’s awake.

Hahahahaha….so sad isn’t it? I wish Zoe wasn’t SOOOO team mommy all the time.

:: 07.11.10 :: Playa Del Carmen :: Day Eight
On this day we woke up and since it was our last full day in Mexico we decided that we would would go swimming with dolphins and also let Zoe get a lot of pool/beach time in. They were really anal at the dolphin excursion about people taking photos. Whatevs. Like the photo of the manatee and seals? They were on my ass about taking those! Like c’mon! So I didn’t even get to take photos of us swimming with the dolphins and I totally forgot to purchase the ones that they took. Oh well. Afterwards we hit up the pool and the beach, of course Zoe wouldn’t go near the ocean. Shocking. We got cups from the pool bar and started collecting seashells and sand for our memory jar. For dinner we went to a hibachi restaurant on the hotel grounds and then afterwards we went to the nightly hotel show where Zoe got to dance with the other kids.


                                        
       







       

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
So apparently she has a new word to add to her vocabulary. It’s the word ‘shy’.

Zoe: Mommy, you’re Donkey and I’m Shrek.
Me: No. I don’t want to be Donkey.
Zoe: No, it’s ok. Don’t be shy. You’re donkey
Me: Hahah I’m not shy!
Zoe: No it’s ok mommy. Just be donkey.

Another time she was playing with her wikki stix…
Zoe: Mom, do you wanna play with me?
Me: No thanks.
Zoe: Don’t be shy. Here you go. (shoving some wikki stix into my hands.

So we all (as in my family) still have a cold. It’s mostly just the coughing we can’t shake. What gives man? We’ve all been having coughing fits all week. I called my OB and she said I could take some Robitussin. Whatever helps!

So life is good. We’ve been busy. Zoe asked for my hand in marriage. Hahah it’s really cute. I’ll write about it in one of her daily funnies coming up after I’m done posting up my last vacation entries. You know, I never thought I’d say this but I actually don’t have time to write on Xanga as much as I’d like anymore. It makes me sad. Hahaha I’m being for real you assholes. It really does make me sad. I know. I’m pathetic.

So Zoe has been growing up so fast, development-wise. I bought her  these Porro training chopsticks two weeks ago and she’s sooo good at it ! She’s also huge on sharing. It’s actually too much sharing. She’ll be chewing two gummy bear vitamins at once and she’ll ask me “Do you want some mommy?” I say “No thanks.” And she says “Here” and she’ll stick her finger in her mouth to take a piece out. Nasty. She’ll even share her last piece of something with you even though she loves it. She’s really sweet. She can open and close doors now. She talks A LOT. Like A LOT A LOT. I even woke up last night (God knows what time it was) cause she woke up and she was just jibber jabbering in the dark. I was so delirious I don’t even remember what the girlfriend was saying. Yesterday she saw a container of Pocky sticks on the counter and she asked me if she could have it. I said no so she responded back “but I want to eat it so I can like it.”  Clever answer but no. She also likes to talk about babies with no teeth. Like “When I was a baby I had no teeth and now I have teeth because I am a big girl?” Yes. She also likes to defy us. BRAT! Her father is a big chicken when it comes to punishing her. He like can’t do it unless she’s like on his last nerve. WUS! Yesterday we were arguing how about how Zoe saw her fingerpaint that I had bought her. He thinks it’s my fault that she saw it but if he didn’t pick her up she wouldn’t have seen it on the table to begin with. Zoe could tell we were arguing and she grabbed his hand and put him in a timeout for 3 minutes. When he asked her why she said “You don’t listen to mommy.” Did I tell you I love her? Yesterday she came home with a bad diaper rash and was bawling her eyes out every time we’d go near her ‘Hoo-Ha’. By this morning it was sooo much better but she had a rash on her back by the waist of her diaper. It turns out she pooped yesterday in school and didn’t tell her teachers for a long time and by then it reached up that high causing her that rash along with the diaper rash. There’s always something isn’t there?!

:: 07.10.10 :: Playa Del Carmen :: Day Seven
On this day we spent the whole day at Xcaret which is supposed to be an eco park. I would actually recommend 2 days. Only because if you have kids it takes twice as long to go through everything, plus feeding them takes God knows how long, and your possible melt downs in between, not to mention their nap time you have to squeeze in. We had a lot of fun here. It was a really hot day and every time it’d get hot we’d just go in for a dip to cool off. I thought the whole park was really well designed.
 


                           





            




                           








                                           
                           



                                           

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
Every morning we drop Zoe’s dad off at the bus stop. Yesterday morning he gave me a kiss goodbye and then got out of the car. I lowered Zoe’s window and she said…

Zoe: Good bye! Have fun ahpah! I miss you.

When I picked her up after school she gave me a hug and said…

Zoe: I waited for you mommy.
Me: You did?
Zoe: Mmmhmmm. You was working?
Me: Yeah
Zoe: So you can make moneys for Zoe?
Me: Yeah. Pretty much.

So Zoe has YET another cold this week. This one she’s coughing pretty bad though. I decided to stay home with her today so she could rest and get some alone playtime instead of running around at school and getting all worked up and excited. She pretty much wore her Snow White costume all day and we played games on the Wii and the computer together. Then naptime hit at 1ish. Girlfriend slept 3 straight hours. I’m glad that she got a lot of sleep though.

My pregnancy is ok. I’m at week 28. This baby is so active that when it’s still for like 10 minutes I’m like “OMIGOD WHAT”S WRONG!” haha I’m over this pregnancy btw. I want it out. Like now. Hahaha

Funny story about the husband. His friend Matt and his wife just had the 2nd kid. A little girl. I think it was about 2 weeks ago. This was my conversation with the hubs yesterday…

Hubs: I might come home late tomorrow night. I might meet up with the guys.
Me: Who? The Chinese guys or the Korean guys? (He’s got like 2 separate group of friends)
Hubs: The Chinese
Me: Why?
Hubs: Well for one Matt’s been like MIA ever since the baby’s been born. He’s pretty good about writing back on email and he hasn’t even done that.
Me: So he’s going to come out?
Hubs: Yeah.
Me: Omigod. You guys are like so pathetic. Hahahaha…
Hubs: WHY?!
Me: (mocking them in a whiney voice) Oh my wife just had a baby and it’s so hard for me because I didn’t push it out of my penis. Oh I need to meet up with the guys and relieve my stress after two weeks. Oh my wife’s having a baby in November so we need to take a ‘mancation’ to celebrate because I’m not the one pushing it out of MY vagina. OH boo friggin hoo. Dude like we’re the ones pushing out the baby. We’re the ones that stay at home watching the baby and feeding the baby. When you sleep and she wakes up crying you don’t wake up. I wake up. You somehow go deaf between the hours of 12-5am. You need a mancation because you’ve been carrying the baby for 9months? Oh boo friggin hoo!
Hubs: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It’s like cry me a friggin river! Hahaha I was just teasing him and his friends but guys, c’mon. Cut the shit.

Today he just called me and said…

Hubs: I’m gonna come home tonight.
Me: You’re not going out?
Hubs: No. How can I go out when my daughter is sick?
Me: …….Are any of the guys going out?
Hubs: …….No.
Me: Hahahaha you’re such a douche! Don’t make it seem like you’re coming home cause of Zoe.
Hubs: HAHAHAHA WHAT?!

Hahahaha…dude I’m on to you shady!

:: 07.09.10 :: Playa Del Carmen :: Day Six
Weather was nice. Everyday was pretty much the same. Sunny, swimming, looking at animals on the premises. Zoe’s smiling towel photo below is probably on my list of top 10 favorite photos of her.
         



         


            
            
          
          

            



          
          
                                                   

Zoe’s Daily Funny:
This week she’s been putting her father in time-out. She would drag him to her time out chair and make him sit in it. And then yell out his minutes and he would just sit there and pretend to cry. So on Wednesday she put him in a time out and yelled out “THREE MINUTES OKAY!?” and then she walked over to me while he fake cried. I said “Zoe why did you put daddy in a time out?” She answered “Because he don’t listen to me.” So I told her I think he’s had enough and that I think we should take him out of time out. So she went and ended his time out. A few minutes later I hear him talking to her saying…

C: Zoe, ahpah neun hahneul (daddy is heaven) and you and mommy are ddang (earth).
Me: Zoe put ahpah back in time out!

I see Zoe get up and she grabs her father’s hand and starts dragging him back to her time out chair.

Me: Zoe give him 10 minutes.
Zoe: (yelling in her daddy’s face while waggin her finger) TEN MINUTES! OKAY!?

Oh he soooo deserved that time out. And no he did not stay the full 10.

---

Today I took Zoe to her dr’s appt. She told her teached that she needs to go see Doctor Hahn so he can look at her polka dots. Hahahaha. It turns out that the doctor doesn’t have clue either. He said it’s strange. It’s not bothering her and she seems fine so he said just watch her for the next few weeks and it’ll probably face. He thinks maybe it may have been a virus because a lot of viruses come with rashes but he said he’s kinda stumped too. He also cleaned her ear wax on her left ear and she was really, REALLY upset. She wouldn’t even let me kiss it and if I even touched her ear she’d start to cry.

:: 07.07.10 :: Tulum / Playa Del Carmen :: Day Five
We rented a car with a car seat for Zoe and after we checked out of our hotel we drove to Tulum. It was really hot and humid this day and Miss Zoe was starting to get cranky when we hit Tulum. After we were done with the Ruins we drove up to Playa Del Carmen and hit up a McDonald’s before we went to our hotel. We stayed at Iberostar. I think the hotel is really well made. They had all sorts of animals throughout the hotel. However I think quality service was lacking and after 3 hours of trying to check in and finally getting a room (we changed 3x) we were a little peeved.
