Time really flies. I can't believe our baby girl is already 3-months old! Happy 3-month birthday, baby girl! From second last blog to now, quite a few things happened. First of all, baby girl learned to support her head using her arms! We tried to put baby on her tummy every day and it seemed that she was making not too much progress. Some time last week, she was able to support herself. I was so surprised and a little shock (good kind of shock) to be honest.
Check this out:
Second, my hubby was hospitalized because of appendicitis. He had a sharp pain in his lower abdomen on Thursday and luckily, they were able to perform the surgery the same night. Poor thing had to stay in hospital for a few nights. Yikes! My mother-in-law is nice enough to offer to help with our meals and stayed with us for a few nights. Thanks mom! Andy is now recovering and life is almost back to normal, except that he can't do any heavy lifting for the next six weeks (which means, he can't carry baby since she is a little heavy). I get to have Ali all to myself. Yay?!
Third, our first road trip (before the appendicitis of course)! We drove all the way to Portland to visit hubby's relatives. The trip down was action packed. We were planning to leave early in the morning, but our car made really weird noises the night before our trip. So, hubby went to the shop and got it checked and found that one tire was separating from the rim. Bad, bad, bad. Luckily, we caught it in time and replaced the bad tire with our spare. When we finally hit the road, the traffic on I-5 was just insane. We left around 11 am and we did not get to Seattle downtown until 4 pm (border line up was minimal). Then there were the rain storm. It was raining pretty hard and there were quite a few accidents on I-5, slowing down the traffic and we did not arrive at our hotel until 10 pm. Overall, it was a pretty good trip and it was great for Ali to meet her Portland family. We got some good deals and the outlet is just awesome!

First of all - well wishes to Anders. A friend of ours had what sounds like the exact same thing happen to him. THey have a 2 year old and his wife is due within 2 weeks of his being admitted to the hospital. Very stressful times. Here though, they kicked him out of the hospital on day 2. I hope Anders is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I have never heard you talk at that high a pitch! Impressive.
Third, You Go Ali! Come show Kai Ma some of your moves!
Well yeah, once you are a mom, you will pretty much do anything to make the baby happy. She loves that high pitch, excited voice. That seems to help her going. Your mom happened to be over that night, but I told her Anders was at work. I don't want to stress her out.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't know if our trip is still on. That's part of the reason why I called you last week. It should be okay, but we will keep you posted.
