dr. seuss onesie

When we had the sonogram while pregnant with E and founding out his gender, we bought a Dr. Seuss onesie (from One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish). This time being pregnant with our #2 we tried looking for something cool for him but found nothing eye catching until we found this! Can it be more perfect? I can't wait to put this on him. Two more months.

my half way done projects

Besides blogging, I have many many other projects that are just partly finished so far. I appreciate a few good friends who noticed my desire but lack of motivation and are so encouraging to help me to get something done. I thought I would post my progress here, to thank you for your encouragement and hopefully more pressure on my end to get them done!

Here's this painting that I have been wanting to finish since 5 months ago.

Here's this panda body pillow I have told myself over half a year ago that I want to make for E. He has one since he was about 3 months old and it's been his favorite sleeping pal, and not just sleeping with it, he chews on its four legs and they are getting very nasty and all torn up after over two years. He loves it more and more now that he even pick it up after his sleep and he bring him around the house to play with (he really needs some real playmates!) So I had a good intention to make him one. (We bought it at Ikea back then and was discontinued when we decided to buy an extra one. So if you happened to have one in good condition, I would buy it from you!) 

My goal was to have it done before his birthday but that also passed... you can see in the picture that I haven't gone really far, I am a little stuck with not knowing how to make a perfect cutting for fitting the legs and the face to finish it. So, for those of you who are savvy sewer, if you have any tips, please help!

And here's a picture of the real one.

And we have been living in our home for almost two years now but we are still not finished with the painting job... I stopped since I am expecting this 2nd child.

And here's this little guy in my tummy, also "half way done" :)

Yes, you are right, I said "little GUY". We are expecting another boy. We are very excited and happy for Eli to have a brother to play rough with!

I am 24 weeks tomorrow. Sorry about this low quality picture from my phone. I have not taken any pictures really since I am pregnant.

i know, it's lame...

Last week E accidently called a dear friend of mine on the phone, and she asked if I dropped my blog. In our Christmas card I mentioned how I wanted to be better at keeping up with our blog this year. So, I know, it's a late start, it's already February, but here I am. I am listening to Alicia Keys UNSTAGED Concert online she had back in Dec 2009, and enjoying my time that Afrin is working well in my system for the moment (I have been suffering big time from allergy since November.) So, making use of my time, I am spending half of my time making Caldo De Res (Mexican beef soup) and writing this blog, while E is still napping at the moment.

I will start with the most recent news. I just reached my half way mark throughout my pregnancy yesterday. Woohoo! It feels like forever this time. And stay tune about the baby gender. I promise this time will be in a more timely manner. 

Next post I will be sharing about the fun party that we threw for E's 2nd birthday last Saturday. 

Thank you for being patient with me, my friends!
