25 weeks then; 25 weeks now...WHOA, what a difference!

25 weeks with Izzy

25 weeks with Peanut #2

OK, I am officially FREAKED OUT! I am soooo much bigger this time around. I finally got the courage to look at my old pics and this is what I found. My belly really has a mind of it's own this time. I look like I swallowed a watermelon WHOLE!

Izzy's Dancey Dance Party

To my dancing QUEEN!

You had the time of your life at your Yo Gabba Gabba party! You got down and shook your little booty like nobody's business. I am glad you had so much fun, it made all the planning from overseas so worth it! Mommy also made t-shirts for all of us and goodie bags for your little friends in the Yo Gabba Gabba theme. You loved being Foofa!

Now to think of next year's theme party!

Love, Mom

Happy 2nd Birthday, Izzy!

Dear Izzy,

Another year has gone by way too fast. Mommy really wishes I can make time stand still. You are 2 years old today and I can still remember vividly the day you came into my life. Thank you for being you and for teaching me so many things about myself that I didn't know about. I love you and look forward to knowing you better more and more each day.

We celebrated your 2nd birthday at school today! We had pizza and cupcakes and you and your friends had a blast! I love to see that cheeky smile on your face...it makes me forget everything.

Happy Birthday, Izzy. I am so lucky to be your mommy.

Love, Mom

Confirmation at the Doctor's - 9 weeks

I went to see Dr. Bob today for the confirmation of my pregnancy. Everything checked out great and I hope to have a happy and healthy 9 months ahead of me! Cannot wait to meet this little new being in September!

I am over the moon!

Izzy's BIG trip to Asia!

Dear Izzy,

Our trip to Asia was such a fun one! You were a good girl throughout the trip. On the plane ride there, you were an angel...although a loud one. You sang the whole trip there. We took altogether 6 flights: Vancouver>Hong Kong>Singapore>Penang>Hong Kong>Vancouver. You can start collecting frequent flyer miles now!

You didn't eat a lot while in Asia, I guess it's because you were not too used to the food there. Although once we landed in Hong Kong, you ate. You love dim sum...

You had a great time with your Cho Cho, Lau Yi, and met Mommy's side of the extended family for Chinese New Year. Then when we went over to Penang, you had fun with your Ye Ye, Nai Nai, Gu Gu, Su Su, Uncle Audi and also met a lot of family.

When we got home, you were jet-legged for 8 long days. It's going to be a long while before we make another one of these big trips again!

Here are some photos of our trip. Enjoy!

Love, Mom

Happy 23 months birthday!

Izzy,

You are 23 months today...although Mommy is not there to be with you, I am there in spirit. Miss you so much already!

Well, what did we do this month? A lot...a lot of packing and planning. When Mommy and Daddy come back from France, we will depart to Asia. Mommy has also been planning your birthday party...it will be fabulous! Can't wait.

Another month and you'll be 2!

Love, Mom

Mommy & Daddy Go to France

Dear Izzy,

Mommy and Daddy are leaving for France today and Ah Ma will take care of you. We will miss you a lot! Daddy is going there to watch the Bocuse d'Or and in 2013, you will be there to cheer Daddy on! It will be a big day.

Be a good girl and Mommy promises to call you everyday. 5 days will pass really quickly and we will be reunited again.

Love you,
Mom
