Forever 21 new line Love 21 Maternity is now available in stores and online!  I remember last year, I sort of refused to buy maternity wear haha well due to a fact that I think I will only wear it for a few months, I do not want to spend too much on it.  But lovely- mommies to be, do check out the Love 21 Maternity new line.  Good price and good basic styles for those few months.  Have fun shopping!

Collection here!

I’ll be away from updating my blog for a few days.  Lil bear will be here soon!  Please pray for Lil bear!  Hopefully he’ll be a healthy little one when he’s out from the oven!  Update with pictures in a few days after I recovered.

Last Saturday, we went to the 3D ultrasound again and the technician has confirmed that Lil Bear is a boy.  YAY!  don’t have to bring all the stuffs back for an exchange   My maternity leave started Monday and I managed to do a lot of work at home.  That includes washing Lil bear’s clothes, beddings, blankets, etc.  Packing the hospital bag and lil bear’s bag!  I should say, I’m all ready to go!  and my nesting mode is so ON!   My checkup will now change to once per week.  We went for another OB’s appointment 2 days ago and lil bear weighs about 6.5lbs!  He’s a big boy now!  So what have I been doing these few days?  Washing, cooking and watching TLC A Baby Story every morning.

I’m sick! Sore throat, mild fever and running nose!  Luckily it was just a cold and I’m getting better.  We went to the doctor on Monday and this week’s ultrasound was performed by doctor’s assistant!  Guess what.. she said she saw a girl!  Are You Serious???????  I quickly called the 3D clinic to schedule another session this Saturday just to re-confirm.  Mr. Bear is pretty positive that lil bear is a boy.  But I need the re-confirmation haha!  Other than that, lil bear is doing fine.  He now weighs about 5.2lbs.  He’s been moving around a lot at night as usual.  Mr. Bear heard his hiccups last night haha so cute!

Time really flies, I’m almost there! Can’t believe Lil bear has been living in my tummy for 34 weeks now.  I think he’s ready to come out anytime but I’m crossing my fingers that he will stay till he’s full term at 37 weeks.  These few days, I realized Lil Bear is really coming pretty soon.  I finally finished the Lamaze DVD and went for the hospital tour.  Mr. Bear has already set up the crib, getting ready for the arrival of Lil bear.  I have the worst sleepless night ever!  My bladder woke me up every 2 hours and I have to take frequent trips to the bathroom every night.   I feel like a balloon every time when I try get out of bed.  Work is finally less hectic!  Black Friday is finally here!  I hope our company will do good! More bonus next year!  3 more weeks till my maternity leave!

Dear Lovely mama-to-be, Isabella Oliver is having a 20% off Sale starting tomorrow, 11/25 – 12/1!  Don’t miss this great chance!  Enjoy!

Mr. Bear and I went to the hospital tour and finally get myself registered.  Too bad they no longer let us visit the maternity rooms due to H1N1 issues.  I guess tight security is always good after all.  Days gone by and its getting harder and harder each day.  I’ve been waking up 2-3 times per night and I feel very difficult to move around.  Belly getting big and itchy, ankles getting swollen, not sleeping well and worst of all no sweets! So what’s next?  It makes me feel so grouchy every day Oh and I hated to see those Godiva Cupcakes which I’ve been longing to try.  Why do I want cakes and chocolates so bad now which I have never bother to touch it before?  Besides those, I still have to drag myself to work! Work has been tough these days! Thanks to Thanksgiving black friday sale and its driving me crazy!  I’m counting down the days till I can start my maternity leave.  Hanging in there.

My baby shower was held at Tea Rose Garden in Pasadena last Saturday.  My BFF Wendy flew over with her bf to host it for me.  Mr. Bear and I was so happy surrounded by friends.  Its like a friend’s gathering more than a baby shower.  We both had a great time and I hope our guests did as well.  We were showered with gifts and joy!  Thanks everyone!

Wohoo! Our baby shower is coming this Saturday!  I’m getting excited!! Mr. Bear will go pick up our baby shower cake tomorrow night and my BFF is arriving with her BF tomorrow too   It’s going to be a busy weekend!!  Nothing much happen this week, Lil bear has been moving around a lot lately.  I can feel his arm or leg moving across my belly.  I’ve already adapted to the wake up call at 2am and 6am.  I’ve been having Braxton Hicks already and is no fun!  He’s definitely getting big!! I can’t believe that I can meet him in less than 10 weeks!

My belly is getting bigger and bigger each day!  I finally need a better lotion.  Not sure if its because my skin stretches more now or the weather changes, or possibly be both,  my tummy started to itch last week.  I know I need something better.  As I browse through numerous pregnany magazines and pregnancy websites, I’ve always see Mama Mio on the ads.   So I’ve picked up the Mama Mio Tummy Rub Butter last week and see what’s the hype about.  Now I know! The cream scent is so subtle and I just wanted to say I love it!  It also kept me from scratching my belly and its pretty light in texture which will leave your skin smoothly.  I love it!  I will recommend this product to all mamas to be!
