So, I think I'm starting my third trimester now. My first trimester was the most miserable three months of my life. Every single symptoms a pregnant woman can possibly have; I had. From morning sickness to sciatica, I've experienced it all. At one point, I thought I'll have to stay in bed or a wheelchair for the rest of the pregnancy!
The second trimester passed by so fast and it was a breeze. I was able to work full time and eat anything I want without feeling bad.
Now as I'm approaching the beginning of the last trimester, I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable and nervous. I'm still trying to work part time so that I'm able to make the transition from working full time to full time mother a lot smoother and healthier; for my mind at least. I'm still not sure how I'm going to approach parenthood with my lack of anything domestic. Classes? Books? Advice from Friends?
Or worst, advice from my mom, when she always said, "wait til you have mean kids of your own!"
Being pregnant isn't really fun or comfortable but I still tried to make the best out of it. I can't help but laugh at the following things that are happening to me:
-Everyone called me the pregnant lady.
-I walk like a duck.
-I pee every time I sneeze or throw up.
-None of my shoes, gloves, rings, bracelets, and clothes fit.
-Every time she kicks, it tickles and I'll laugh hysterically.
-My toes and fingers look like fat sausages.
-Where is my ankles?
-I made funny sounds at night because I have a hard time turning in bed.
-I'm no longer graceful.
-I need help up from the tub and bed.
-The amount of food I eat on a daily basis should be illegal
-My husband doesn't recognized me anymore.
-I couldn't even recognized myself.
-Bye Bye, 120 lbs, I'll never see you ever again!!!
Beyond all that, I'm not even going to try to be a perfect mom. There's ONLY ONE Einstein. I just want her to be healthy, full of baby fat, and no baby acne. =)

KEUKENHOF GARDEN
It was perfect timing for us when we're in Amsterdam. The world's largest tulip garden is only open two months of a year, and we're glad that we crammed that into our tight schedule on our last day in Holland. It was amazing to see how they're able to bred so many thousand types of tulips. It was like stepping into a box of Crayola and the colors and designs are endless!
