What Landon wore


Taking photos of this busy toddler is becoming quite a challenge!!! Dressing this kid for cold weather isn't has hard as I thought. If he's cold, he will gladly wear a hat. 

I like to mix match pieces for him so we are all over the place when we shop. 

here is an example of how many photos I have to take now... usually 10.

Thanksgiving 2013


I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I do apologize for such a late post!!


We had thanksgiving this year at my aunts house. She lives about 2 miles away from me!! Are you looking at this assortment?? From left to right: 1 baked turkey, 1 ham (my contribution), 1 surprisingly delicious fried turkey, then corn bread, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, Mac & cheese, followed by our usual Vietnamese food buffet. 


Lunner (lunch/dinner) was delicious! 

Here is my ham!!! I didn't realize how easy it was to make ham!! Go to honey baked ham, stand in line for an hour, then to cook, heat for 45 minutes @ 350•. Perfection! 

The perfectly baked turkey! All the decor came from my aunts yard lol.

The set up.. Believe it not.. The table setting was all plastic! Reusable too. 

So cute right?

Afterwards, we dropped my husband off at home to watch the Steeler game, Landon stayed with my parents and my sister ran off to successfully shop at toys r us & old navy. 


I'm so thankful this year for my family, especially my mom who has completed chemo and is starting to recover. Life is much sweeter with her around and we thank god, tho he continues to challenged her, he guides her through and she seems stronger than ever. 

I'm thankful for my husband, who works so hard for our little family, who supports us and I'm thankful that he is so hands on with our son. 

I'm thankful for my siblings, especially my sister who has really been an intricate part of my life since Landon was born. She is full of love and we've completely bonded. She has been my Go To person and when I need a break, she comes running, swoops Landon up for a couple of hours. She also already loves this second baby so much! I will never have to invite her over, she will just call and ask to see my son and I never say no. How could I? 

And I'm thankful for my extended family and friends. 

Xo!

Baby #2 gender predictor

We hope to find out baby's gender next week, I thought if would fun to test out some old wivestales.

I did this with Landon & it came out true so I'm very interested in seeing if we are correct with baby #2! 

We used the same Chinese predictor test on the bump.. It says girl..


We bought an over the counter gender prediction pee test... Girl.



Baby's heartbeat above or below 140... Girl

Morning sickness.. Girl

Cravings.. Sweet or salty.. In conclusive because I don't like anything. Lol

Moody.. Happy or moody.. This week I'm moody so girl.

Skin.. I feel like my skin isn't as pretty as usual.. Girl.

I've had 10 family members predict girl... 1 said boy.. because they wanted me to have more than 2 kids.

I'm totally not leaning towards girl.. I'm happy either way. It's just strange that all the signs leads to girl and my current pregnancy is completely opposite of Landon's. 

We have an ultrasound next Friday, hopefully we find out if baby #2 is a boy or girl!

I love the fall feeling in our photos! You really have to dig deep to find a place that doesn't involve palm trees in southern CA... 


This photo is my favorite! I love that he's totally smiling!



Our photographer really lets us just walk!



Love this photo of us!

14 Weeks.. Our 2nd baby


How far along? 14 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: we find out next Friday! 

Maternity clothes?  I organized my closet.. I now have a maternity section... Still managing regular clothes.. With maternity basics... Like maternity leggings.

Stretch marks? No, started using coconut oil, it keeps me from going dry.

Sleep: I think I have insomnia. :( it's so stressful... The last 2 days I've slept at least 5-6 hours... Much better than the 2 hours a night the last few weeks. 

Best moment this week: we had a beautiful thanksgiving dinner and it was delicious.. Now onto Christmas! 

Miss Anything? I miss my last pregnancy where I craved food. 

Movement: not yet. 

Food cravings: nothing. I'm so boring. My husband made me an orange, banana and strawberry smoothie.. It was pretty good! Oh! Today I woke up and wanted jello with lechee.. So random.

Anything making you queasy or sick: my cooking makes me want to throw up. 

Have you started to show yet: my bulge is starting to get more "bump" like.

Gender: not sure yet... Hopefully we will find out next Friday! 

Labor Signs: no.. A little tightness when I'm running errands!
