Happy Twenty Eleven!

Happy New Year everyone!! Sorry I've been MIA for too long. Things are getting hectic since I'm going have my boys soon (15 more days to be exact- can you believe it???)
My mom and sister will be here in around 10 days or so, looking forward to it since I haven't seen them for about 1.5 years now. Then I have a lot of washing up to do, install car seats, do hospital tour (yep, I kept postponing it!), pack my bag and so on.

Overall, I'm doing fine and babies are getting chubby. Exactly 36 weeks today, working from home till the 14th then I'm off for maternity leave. My tummy is huge and I will show you later ;-)
People seems to be obsessed with my lack of weight gain still (13lbs total or 6kg), I think it's time for them to let it go lol. I am not going to add 20lbs in the next 15 days so I guess that's it. Those 13lbs are in my tummy and trust me, I have stretch marks to prove it.

On a "fashion" note, I bought my newborn photoshoot dress even if I'm not sure it's going to fit which is so typical me. Here is the pic of the Vivienne Tam dress and I got it from Gilt. The dress doesn't look fitted so I think I can get away with it. Do you think it's cute?

Last Trip For 2010

I'm currently still in San Antonio, loving it here! I stayed at Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and everything is wonderful, so Xmas-ey even though Thanksgiving was only few days ago. I will post more pics later on, but this is me at 30w2d :D

Random Updates

I finally put a deposit for the twins' newborn photoshoot. After searching for quite a while, I finally decided to go with Forever Bliss Photography. I so cannot wait! You can check out her website here.

Ooh I need to post my pic soon too. I'm 28w1d today, 10 more weeks to go yay! I wanted to post pics last week, but ugh.. I've been having this stubborn cold after the flu shot. Normally I would ask for antibiotics and cold will go away in 2 days. But since being prego means you cannot take meds as you please, then it has lasted this long-almost 10 days to be exact.

Then the aftermath of failing the glucose test the first time made me change the way I eat. I lost weight together with being sick. Now my OB is concerned because I'm still at 7lbs (3kg) same as 4 weeks ago.
No good he said, because I have 2 babies inside my tummy. He ordered me to eat any junk foods that I can think of. I thought it's funny.
All my life I wanted to be skinny and be a size 2US (I think size 0 for me is a little far fetch) but I never could. I always linger around size 6US which is fine by me either but I'm the type of person that gain weight easily. But how weird that now I'm being told to go burger crazy. Such a life hehe.
Anyway I'm trying. I've been indulging on cakes from La Madeleine, ice cream from Sonic, big chunk of steaks and umm..now I'm thinking what to have tomorrow ;-)

What else- work wise, still busy. Things are looking up and hoping to work few days a week from home once I'm done with the maternity leave.

No big plan this Thanksgiving or for my birthday. DH and I will have a short getaway that long weekend (will post pics for sure) and probably just dinner for my birthday.

How about you? What are you going to do this holiday?

Not Really There Yet

Today I'm posing in our not so ready nursery room. Still plenty to do but the main items we need are there, just need to set them up properly. One thing, I woke up this morning feeling huge haha and I wonder if the 3 hrs GTT that I had yesterday may caused it ;-) The result won't be in till Monday or Tuesday oh well..just hope for the best. The experience yesterday wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, maybe because I know what to expect.

So back to huge, I'm only 25w2d, I think I'm making up for the lost time! All these times people kept telling me my belly is too small for twins, but now you are asking for it, ha!

Anyway, DH and I went to have Indian for lunch, then grocery shopping at Costco and then we went to the mall for window shopping then we head to the cinema to watch Hereafter (Matt Damon). I love it, though the story is kinda sad-especially about the twin boys.

OK- enough of me yapping, these are the pics of me today :D

What's The Odd

that I failed my one hour GD test? Well..I flunked it (over for about 20+ pts). All these times every time I have a medical check up, my blood sugar is low. My problem has always been cholesterol, sugar? nope, never.
In fact when I had my ER scare at 13 weeks and they checked my sugar, it was low as well.

So I'm on the 3 hours GTT next week, more glucose to drink and 4 blood tests within the 3 hours after I drink it. The nurse said to me, "bring your laptop or books, you are going to be here for at least 3.5 hours"...great (but maybe it's a good thing that I can finally read Breaking Dawn). And next Friday is suppose to be my day off, but I will spend it in my doctor's office.

Oh well, I don't want my babies to be too big so I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. So far their sizes are great, not too small or not too big. I'm surprised when my nurse told me about the news, because I barely gained any weight, only 7lbs (3kg) so far at 24 weeks. I thought you gain weight rapidly if you have gestational diabetes?

Anyway, I hope I pass the test next week. My poor babies didn't sleep last night after I had the one hour test, too much sugar I guess.

Low carbs and low sugars from now on then!

Till next week~

15 Weeks Left :D

I'm exactly 23 weeks today--getting much much bigger and I don't know how I got to be this size in my sleep haha.
But that said, I have only 15 weeks to go--yes, I'm not following the general rule of 40 weeks due to twins.
I don't have much complaints beside it starting to get uncomfortable to bend over, getting out of bed or walking around the mall for too long (crazy right??).

My mommy and my middle sister will be here in mid January. I'm so looking forward to it just sadly I cannot take them around for shopping with 2 newborns in tow, I have to ask DH to drive them around.

GD test next week and hopefully I will pass it. I love sweets and I probably only can give it up the day before the test (talk about cheating!).

Oh..DH and I planning a little vacation during the Thanksgiving holiday and my birthday-supposedly my last vacation for the year with just the two of us. Next time, it will be 4!

I've been buying quite a bit for myself, mainly tops and cardigans. The rest I'm still trying to squeeze in my pre-pregnancy outfits like today's ODJ where I wear no maternity stuffs whatsoever.
No shoes unfortunately because I don't know if my shoe size will stay the same after this or not--I'm dying for some though!. So far I don't have cankles problem so fingers crossed! because I would hate to not be able to wear all my shoes ever again.

Anyway till next update!

Little Tuesday Pleasure

I'm totally in the mood to dress up this morning, I think I'm totally showing too these days (I'm at 20w5d today) but I'm not complaining, it's kinda cute knowing there are 2 chubbies in there and oh..oh..I'm having boys! DH and I already have names so we are pretty much set. We actually already have names in mind for ages. All these times we were hoping nobody (friends and family) take the names and glad to say we are safe!

I feel great overall despite the difficulties of sleeping most nights (nose congestion is super annoying) but I've been using the nasal strips and it does help. Workwise...that is probably something I will complain about, we have so many deadlines towards December and I really don't want to think about it right now haha.

I still have not shop for any specific maternity items beside the skinny jeans and the spanx legging...I don't know..I'm not sure what to buy, I just get by these days but those days are outnumbered soon, I need to do some serious shopping!

Mimijumi

OK-twinkies got their first Mimijumi bottles today. I posted here because they look so adorable and worthy to be placed in fashion blog HAHA.

Anyway after reading good reviews about this bottle, I'm sold. I bought them at Zulily so they are discounted. Their mommy is shopaholic so it's kinda expected that they will get something great but fashionable at the same time (yeah that's the excuse!). DH has no comments at the time I typed this hehe.

Cute Maternity Tops!

I'm dying to buy some cute maternity stuffs and plan to do so at the end of this month. NOW, guessing the size is going to be a battle only because the tops I like are from asos.com and they are like in UK.
Why can't I find something remotely this cute here in US...sigh...

In the meantime I only can drool at the pictures hoping I dare to take the plunge and make a purchase.

Almost 17!

Hello! Nothing new from this side. I'm 16w5d today and I feel fine. Trying to put up with the heat is the hardest. Umm..oh DH and I also found out that one of the twinkies is a boy! I'm so very happy! I've been wanting a little boy for the longest time :-D

Unfortunately the other kiddo loves to play hide and seek, won't find out until my next appointment in about 3 weeks. If it's a girl, then everything is perfect!

Anyhow, I'm having a problem loving this maternity jeans. I bought this skinny maternity from Pea in the Pod, the fit is great but I have to keep pulling it up, how classy. Hope it will fit better in a couple of weeks. I still can wear my SFAM but it's a little snug as soon as I had my meal. Muffin top is not classy either don't you think haha.

Hey Hey

Long time no see you guys! Haven't been able to update this blog :-( I was in Dallas for work whole last week too and before that, the preparation to go to Dallas was like crazy. If you knew what I wore during those hectic times.....let's say flip flop almost become my best friend.

Anyway a little update, I'm 14w2d today, I must say I'm glad that I'm no longer in the first trimester. Ummm and I've been keeping this a secret for a while, but I'm going to have twinkies :-D so there! I guess one is not enough, I just gotta have 2 at once hehe. So just a little warning, I'm going to be as big as Texas and it will be more than a challenge to find something decent to wear.

If you have any tips let me know, I think I'm going to do lots of layering especially since by the time I get to third trimester, it will be fall/winter.

Outfit on a Good Day

I have a couple of tops that I normally don't wear unless it's a good day-don't ask me why, I just kinda save them. Well, since they probably won't fit me very very soon, I just have to wear them from now on. This is one of them. I love the color so much and it's a silk so it's very comfortable to wear on hot days, better yet it was on sale, I only had to pay less than 100 bucks for it.

What's New in July

If anyone wondering, I'm all well thanks! I'm not sick or anything, just been busy at work and the last thing I want to do is dressing up to work hehe.

Anyway, what's new? Well I don't have m/s which is I consider a blessing. But yeah I do have that occasional heartburn and sometimes I felt like I just ran for a marathon and ooh..the hunger attack-I cannot keep up sometimes. I cannot wait till first trimester is over though (which is not for another 3.5 weeks), right now I'm still a worry wart which is not helping ;-)

Hmm..what else- oh I finally got my new cellphone. After waited for a little over 3 weeks, I finally got my Droid. Couldn't be happier with my new toy.

How about today? I'm having a day off that's for sure. I'm going to have another gold class movie/lunch session with a friend (umm..we are going to watch Eclipse).

Happy Fourth of July!

Ooh yesterday at 6.25pm I found out from my doctor that I'm expecting!! Initially not convinced, but alas...there--the word that I thought I never see. DH and I are super excited but it hasn't sink in yet. For now my skinny jeans still fit hehehe
