Time for a change...

Thao got a nice new haircut to prepare for the baby. Don't worry, her hair was colored a long time ago!

It is short at the back now, so it's a lot easier for her.

As you may have noticed from my pictures lately, my hair is getting very long... So I agreed to go get it cut. Thao wanted me to make it curly. Curly??!! I reluctantly said okay, just because if it didn't look good, I can always get it cut short again, right?

The before picture....

And after!

 

Oh my god! Yes it's curly... It looked really funny the next morning, like an afro heheh

34 week ultrasound

Today we went for the 34 week ultrasound. Even though it has only been 2 weeks since the last one, we are supposed to go every two weeks to keep checking on the progress. This time Thao wanted to go to yet another different doctor! We arrived at 4:30 to take a number, but the doctor only starts at 5pm. Luckily we had number 9, so we went in around 6pm. When we went in, the last number taken was up to 25 already! He must be a very popular doctor...

Compared to the French doctor, this guy really knew what he was doing. He did all the measurements very quickly, and I saw a good picture of Katie's face. I was lucky, because this time I was allowed inside and could watch the doctor, but Thao didn't have a screen to watch. But the good news is that Katie has turned with her head down now, so she can be born any day now! I guess all that walking helped... The doctor again said that she is a big baby, but her legs aren't too big. Okay, I guess she will be short and fat heheh.

Due Date: March 1, 2010
Gestational Age: 34 weeks (since LMP)
Weight: 2800g +/- 200g (+ 1/2 kg in two weeks)
Mommy's weight: 60kg (+1 kg)

To celebrate, we went to Kichi Kichi, which is our favorite Hot Pot restaurant because you pay one price and can eat all you want. It's like a sushi bar, but with your own personal hotpot. Last year there was just one store, but since it was very popular, there are now about 6 all over Hanoi. There is one very close to our house, but the people there aren't so nice and there isn't that good of a selection. This time we went to a different place, and it was so much better. The difference there was that at the start they bring you some plates of beef, and they had lots of shrimp that Thao loves. The people were very nice and Thao talked to the manager who was making sure everything was running smoothly. Thao said that is more like Japan style, since in Vietnam the managers normally do nothing and just make other people do all the work. But what Thao really loved the most was that this place had free pepsi! Even though she was so full and couldn't possibly eat any more, she had to order a third glass of pepsi, just because it was free! Okay, I know who will be keeping me up all night by going pee too much! :)).

PS from Thao: Oh I remember that while the doctor was doing the ultrasound he said more than 3 times that Uh oh the baby's mouth looks very big, so he turned back to look at Kyle and said: Oh, i know why, coz the baby's father's mouth is very big that is why... LOL.
Very good for me that the baby already turned down, so I don't have to worry about operation. But I will still walk a lot so easier to come out. But I still worry because I remember that all the doctors say that she is a very big baby, so probably will hurt a lot and hard to go out :((

:(( my hubby is sick... :((

So bad and so sad, Kyle is sick now.
He said the reason must be is: Before yesterday, he ate some salada (which i made 3 days ago) and drink some milk (the bottle already open few day ago)...   So early yesterday morning he started run to toilet to poo about 10times/day... (no, more than that). Today is still same. Since morning he wake up and just run to toilet... i heard something like he poo with just water... OMG... really poor him, huhu... :((((((((. (Oh, I remember at midnight lastnight his forehead was verrrryyy hot but verry good that now his forehead is normal again, not hot anymore.... )
He still taking  medicines but seems its doesnt help. I call to my mom and ask my neighber, they all tell me to take Kyle to hopital to check if its virus something coz in vn when season changing ppl easy to get sick like that... And if its virus, that must be verry dange for me and Katie too.... But he still say NO NO NO, im just ate bad food and i will be fine soon... Now i wont let him eat anything with oil or meat inside, but only porridge ... By afternoon, if he ís not getting better, i will take him to the hospital by taxi :((((((...

PS: Yeah, i wanted to scold him verry much for eat something that he doesnt know what food ís still ok or bad.... Yeah, some time he ís a child like that, like some time he doesnt know the rice is till good or bad so just eat and get sick... Yes, he need to be scold for sometime but look at him now i just can not... Now he need me to take care of him well, i will scold him later... ;))

32 weeks ultrasound

This Friday 2010/1/2 (have to practice typing 2010) we went to my friend's wedding from Punch. Thao wasn't sure if she would be feeling well enough to go, but when the time came she decided that we could go to that wedding in the morning, then continue to her hometown for her cousin's wedding on Saturday. Since we were going to two weddings and visiting Thao's family again, of course I made very sure to bring the camera....... but oh no! Somehow I forgot the battery charging at home! :(


Today it was time for the 32 weeks ultrasound. This is the important one, to see if everything is okay. Since we already paid for the delivery package at the French hospital, we went back there for the included ultrasound... Well, it seemed like the French doctor didn't really know what he was doing. It was like watching someone who doesn't know how to use a computer try to figure out MS Word heheh. But he eventually figured it out I guess, and spent a lot of time to measure the head, leg bones, and try to get a picture of her face. But Katie was being naughty, and was hiding her face with her hand, so we couldn't get a good picture! He said that Katie was still a big baby, and is about the size of 34 weeks...
