4D scan

Man... I have a really busy week at work after the 4 D scan weekend. No time to rest as there are so many things going on.

The 4D scan wasn't successful as Renee was hiding behind the placenta. She was compressing her face to it and was snuggling in Ju. The technician tried to shake Renee to make her shift but she just snuggle into the placenta. Such a darling.

As her due date nears, we are starting to stock up baby stuffs. This weekend, we are going to Boise again for the 4D baby scan and also to buy some baby stuff from Costco.

We are getting more.excited each day even though we just returned from a fantastic Las Veags trip. (Only because of the last day, we are annoyed by the airlines inconsistency in baggage that make us pay more). Ultimately, we had great fun there and had enjoy the food there!

We will post more on Las Vegas trip soon. Hopefully, I have the time. This week is going to be busy too.......

Stay tune!

P.S. Chelsea looks slightly better but she is still breathing abnormally. She has discharge on her eyes and her lymph nodes are still swollen. Hopefully she gets better. Love you Chelsea!

Chelsea's Sick

For the past few weeks, Chelsea has been picky over her food. She doesn't want to eat and that led her to vomit gastric liquid. In the beginning it was pretty normal as we knew she didn't eat her food.
The next few weeks, she was still vomiting. That got us worried and Ju brought her to the vet. The vet didn't do much and postulated that she might be suffering from pancreatitis. She prescribe us some medicine to feed Chelsea.

For few days, Chelsea did not vomit and was behaving normal. She still plays, run around as usual. However, she stopped eating again thereafter and starting vomiting again. Ju had to force her to eat by limiting her playtime. Eventually, Chelsea ate some of her food and her vomiting stopped. Few days back, we noticed Chelsea has been behaving strangely. She still plays and looks really active but she was breathing abnormally and looked sick. We were pretty confused as a dog usually will not play when they are sick. We monitored her situation for two days and finally decided to bring her to see the vet again.

This time, the vet looked at her more thoroughly and even did a X-ray scan for her. After the X-ray scan, the vet found out that Chelsea is suffering from lungs infection. She was given an antibiotic jab and now she looks better. Though the medical bill may be little ex but Chelsea's health is more important to us! She has been part of us and we can't bear to see her suffering in pain.

Get well soon, Chelsea!

P.S. This Saturday we will be going for Renee 4D scan. Excited! Previously, the doc said Ju's tummy did not meet up to expectation but after an ultrasound in Elmore, Renee looks fine!

Planning Our Next Adventure

After working for some time, it is time to take a break. We are looking towards the Labour Day weekend and are deciding where to go during the holiday. Shall we go to LA? LV?  Seattle? Maybe San Francisco?

With Ju at the 3rd trimester, we want to go out and enjoy ourselves before she eventually gave birth to our princess. Vegas is on my mind as there are lots of asian restaurants that can satisfied our search for delicious asian delicacies. LA. We have not been to LA for a long time. Despite, there will be a Taiwanese food fare there. Man... that's a difficult decision to make. Anyway, both locations are awesome places to take a break.

With Ju at third trimester,  I want her to enjoy all the delicious food! Our little one has been pretty active lately. Seems like training to be the next MMA champion like Ronda Rousey. Lol!

Second Trimester

Right before we went to Seattle, Ju was officially into her second trimester. We had an ultrasound scan when Ju was 20 weeks. It is a joy to see Renee being so active yet cooperating with the medical tech as she took some readings. 

"Everything is looking good and your baby is so coorperative!" Despite Ju small tummy, Renee is slightly bigger than her actual measurement. That comforts us abit as we were concerned that Renee is not growing. The medical tech told us that Ju's height was the reason why her tummy wasnt showing and we put our worry to rest. 

3 more weeks to the next level. Can't wait for the next scan. 😊😊😊

The Ironman

Thanks Ju for getting the Avengers version basketball shoes!!! There are few models that includes the Ironman, Hulk, Captain America and Thor. 

The most popular one is the Ironman version and that is what Ju got for me! Love it!! Thanks Honey! 

Not sure if I will wear it everytime as I dont want to spoil it! 

Seattle, WA Day 2

Day 2, energy replenished. We woke up early and set off to have a dim sum breakfast. The dim sum was as delicious as the ones in San Francisco. After breakfast, we went to a nearby TCM to get some essential herb for Ju and our baby. :)

 

Thereafter we went to a premium outlet which is 45 mins away for some shopping. Next we went to Ding Tai Feng for dinner. Damn! It has been so long that we had Ding Tai Feng. It is so delicious!!

We ate like no tmr and thanks to our friends, Yip, Hwee Da, and Pang for the treat. So thankful! 

After the dinner, we went to see firework in town. Cant compared to those in NDP but still beautiful.

That sums up the two days tour in Seattle. Ju totally loves the place and the next we visit, should be with our little  princess. 

Seattle, WA Day 1

Been very busy at work for the past two weeks. There is so much to do yet so little time. Looking at the bright side, our baby is 5 months already! Ju's stomach is not showing yet but the ultrasound showed our little one measured 5 months 5 days. It's really great to hear the good news! 

After spending so much time at work, it is time to have a break. We joined our friends to Seattle for 3 days during the July 4th weekend! It's a little short and we didnt get much sleep either. We woke up early in the morning to catch our flight to Seattle. The first place we went was Habour Place which sells Dim sum. There is no good Dim Sum in Idaho, therefore when we travel, dim sum restaurant is usually our first stop. After the rest reached Seattle, we met at Facing East restaurant for lunch. Facing East restaurant sells Taiwanese delicacies and we love Taiwanese food!! The food is fantastic and tasted totally like in Taiwan.

Next, we went to Pike street market. As it was a little too late, we couldnt catch a glimpse of how they passed the fish around but we did visited the Bubble gum wall and yea, it is disgusting. 

For dinner, we went to highly recommended restaurant, Crab Pot. Ok, this place is totally overrated. The queue is long but the seafood was mediocre. They arent fresh! From the live oysters to the crab legs. Disappointing. Besides, it is costly! 

That pretty much sum up day one. It is tiring but it is worth it!
