[E] Two More Months...


Two more months, 2016 will be coming! (I got this plant back in Dec. 2014 during work white elephant gift exchange, and the plant has been growing taller!)

Two more months, One USA Unit will be wrapped up two classes, and he will only have to take two more classes to finish the degree he's been working on.

Two more months, I will start taking maternity leave because a little human will be joining our pack. Our life will be busier with baby, 3 pets, school, and jobs.

I don't know whether it's because I'm getting older that I feel this year has been passing so fast. Anyway, I'm actually so looking forward to 2016!

[Baby|嬰兒用品] Nuna Mixx


中文寫在後面喔,點文章就可以進去看了!

We got the stroller when Nordstrom had a deal. We finally opened it and checked it out. We like the quality and it's not super bulky. We are very glad to pick Nuna Mixx out of all the strollers on the market.

Installation was super easy. Taking the parts out from the box + tearing all the plastic wrap off took more time than putting it all together. Total installation time: less than 10 minutes.

We were originally thinking to bring the stroller down to the baby store to see which carseat is compatible to the stroller. After One Taiwan Unit finished it, we just thought of that we could have just took out the adaptor from the box and just brought the adaptor to the store lol

Anyway, couple things I'd like to mention about this product:
  • The basket below the seat is actually very good size.
  • The stroller is pretty easy to fold.
  • The seat is very easy to take out and can be facing the front or the back.
  • The adaptor comes with the box actually can fit Cybex carseat (some people said it can't, but we've tried it today)
Other info, you can find it on their website http://www.nuna.eu/USA/mixx

[Baby] Gestational Diabetes



I've got diagnosed of gestational diabetes...yeah...really?! How did this even happen? I've been eating healthier than before I was pregnant.

I eat at work cafeteria for lunch most of the time:
  • Before being pregnant: Fries...no matter what food I ate, I add some fries...I love fries!
  • After being pregnant: Choose a meat with two side of vegetables (occasionally, I choose a meat, a side of vegetables, and a small scoop of rice).
I drink mostly water and black coffee, I do not eat candy often...seriously, tons of people around me eat tons of carb and sugar and they've never got diagnosed of GD. I also consider myself much more active than many people around me.

[To Baby I] Sleeping Gowns from Electrikkidz



Dear Baby I,

We've heard that baby like to be swaddled, and your dad thinks he has mastered swaddling skill after doing it once on a fake baby during the hospital class. Instead of testing our swaddling skill on you, I think we found a better solution - sleeping gowns.

Someone in Taiwan mentioned this cute Canadian brand, Electrikkidz, makes nice and cute sleeping gowns. Since my friend is going to have a baby girl as well, I've ordered some for you and for my friend's baby girl. Let's hope these gowns as magical as people advertised that you babies will sleep soundly and parents can just chill and have fun.

Love you!

P.S. Just want to be clear...if someone is tapping belly loudly, that's not me...it's your dad. You can mess with him after you are out.



Cheers,
Mom

[E] Tomatoes from Garden


My dad were staying with us for few months, and here are the tomatoes from his garden. We still get the tomatoes almost daily. It's been awesome to have fresh tomatoes coming out from our yard! Thanks, Dad! 

A Month Without You

Dear Torison, It's been a month without you. I think of you a lot, especially when I do things in the kitchen. No one helps me pick up ...
