Easy to remember isn't it???!! my mama is so smart! :P hauahuahuahauh

Look what mama bought me yesterday from goodwill!!! :) I love it, I guess if my mama loves it, I better love it :P hehehehhe.

For those of you who don't know what is that in the picture, it's a bumper pad for my crib. It's so cute! Anyway I've been pretty good with mama these days... I nudge her here and there, especially when she speaks Indonesian and laugh with her friends, I got so excited too!! :) I guess I have to learn both languages when I born.. otherwise I can't communicate with oma vonny.

Anyway... I'm hungry, I need to eat something.. mostlikely rice.. or pasta... :)

PS: Do you like my new blog design? mama just updated it. I bet she will change it again once she knows whether I'm a girl or a boy. :)

Yeap... 19 weeks... next week I will be 5 months! :) half way done!! :) So happy..... Everything getting better.. I can eat... and less sickness...

Can't wait to find out whether it's a boy or a girl!! seems like the baby like to nudge me here and there.. sometimes alot.. sometimes I don't even feel it. If you ask me what's the feeling being nudge? it feels like your muscle twitch... feels like there's something swimming in your belly... People say you can't wait till the baby kick, but once he/she kicks you wish they will stop kicking. :) heheheh

I guess I can't get anything right at the first try. I thought today I will be able to see my baby. But there were a miscommunication between me and the dr. He told me last week that next appt. (which is today) will be an ultrasound. But he didn't tell me that I had to set up a different appointment for the ultrasound.

So... now we have to wait till next month. This time for real!! :) hehehehe sorry guys.. we have to wait to find out whether it's a boy or a girl. But at least we could hear his/her heartbeat again. I only owe 3 lbs! :) only 3 lbs!!!. I only gained 5 lbs so far but i need to gain 8 by this point.

g'nite

Look what I got in the mail today!!! :) Cover and Play bouncer... a gift from Catherine.. she's so nice :). Thanks Catherine.... it's so cute! :)

So 2 more days before we found out... who wants to place a bet??!! hehehehe j/k. One of my friend who's the same age with me and expecting a week before me is having a boy. And based on the chinese gender prediction... it's a boy.. so I might have a boy too... but you never know.. lalalala :) I'm so excited!!!!

Anyway.. time to eat for me.. and thanks again Catherine!! you're too nice to me!! :)

Yumm... I told my friend back home that I was craving for Gulali, hmm gulali is.. I have no idea how to describe it, it's pretty much a very sweet snacks.. the middle part is like cotton candy but it has more texture and not as soft as cotton candy. But the taste almost the same. The outer part is like a wafer. So yummy... so he bought it and took pictures for me... thank you so much..

Tho I bet he will be the one who gain weight faster than I am these days :P hauhauahuah j/k

Please click here to vote for our baby name

Brief explanation about the name:

Nadya is actually the reverse (spell it backward) of Aydan (Ayden) so
i thought it will be neat :) to have a set of Nadya and Ayden tho the
spelling is not the same it still sound the same :).

For a girl:
Carissa means grace and also means beloved.
Nadya means hope.

For a boy:
Ayden (aiden) means Little Fire.
Ethan means strong and optimistic

7 more days to find out whether it's a boy or a girl.. for those of you who wants me to have boy... start think blue! and those who wants us to have a girl.. start thinking pink! :) as far as me & Carson, we just want a healthy baby :). If we get a boy this time, we will get a girl next time. :) I really start feeling pregnant now..

I love you baby Andorf. Once my baby born, I will make this blog to be part of the baby book that I will give it to our baby. So he/she will know his/her mamma journey through out pregnancy.

So I found out how to keep the sick fairy away! Basically I have to keep on eating every 2 hrs (at least). Here's the list of what I ate today:

8:00am: Bagel with strawberry cream cheese
10:00am: Carnation Breakfast Drink (Milk)
12:00am: Honey Graham Crackers
01:30pm: Chilli (lunch, which bad choice for pregnant women.. gassy!)
03:00pm: Vanilla Pudding
05:30pm: Fried Rice (dinner)
07:00pm: Apple
08:00pm: mungbean dessert (I heard from my mom it's good for the baby, since it's rich of protein and can make your baby has lots of hair :P)
09:30pm: Chips and salsa

That's a lot of eating in 1 day! Now I'm ready for my prenatal vitamin and go to sleep. :)

Auntie Peggy is one of my mama's friend. Mama told her that she's craving for this one dish called Siomay, so auntie peggy actually made it for mama. Thanks auntie Peggy.. she made it on Sunday night.. can you believe that??!! it's so nice of her.

Seems like mama has a lot of girl friends who like to touch me! when I start kicking I will show auntie putri and auntie christine, since mama said that two aunties wants to feel me kicking :).

I made mama eat every half an hour, otherwise she feels nauseous.. but I do this just because mama needs to eat! if she doesn't eat, I'm don't eat too!! :(

O by the way mama & papa bought some children books from goodwill today. They spent 11 bucks on me! wow.. do you know how many books they bought??!! probably 20-ish. Papa will read 1 book for me before we go to bed tonight. I'm so happy... love you mama & papa.

PS: that's not my feet on the picture, right now I'm probably only 4-4.75 inches long now. :)
