4 pounds!

YES, I've finally gained 4 pounds (probably about 2 kg)! Although I'm still short of 2 pounds to my pre-pregnancy weight, it's an achievement... and I've 20 pounds more to go. Are you the "eat to live or live to eat" type of person? I must say that for me, eating in order to pile on the pounds is quite tedious. I'm persevering... and the baby bulge (or is it more fats?) is probably the best witness to my hard work... haha.

I thank God for the daily grace and strength that He gives, much more than I asked for. I'm almost half-way there. As Charis says... mummy's tummy is growing fat and she can't wait for baby to come out so that she will get to see what he/she looks like. Feeling the little flutters and bounces in my belly certainly brings me closer to the little one and encourages me to hang in there. :)

Storywalk once again!

An annual children's event in Pittsburgh... story booths, activities and craft, lots of fun and walking in the park :) Just a pity that the weather was a little unkind. But as always, Charis enjoyed it! She has grown to love nature... running on the grass, picking little fallen acorns and leaves and even playing on the sand.

One of the most popular amongst the children...
"Tattoo" that took days to go away...
Contributing to the huge poster...
Making a kite...

PAIN! PAIN! PAIN!

Dug up a photo that was taken about 2 months back, during our wedding anniversary... Trying to take a family photo is such a pain, physically.

Managed to get another photo when Charis was in a better mood....


We are still one happy family....

Thinking back now, we really didn't expect the physical testings that started about 2 days after our anniversary.... testings that went on for the next 10 weeks... it's really by God's grace that we survived.
