Sick... :( - 10 weeks, 4 days

I threw up for the first time this week (11/28)... :( I've been on bedrest, which is nice to relax but makes me feel so lazy! I've been much more nauseous than I was before, which has been a difficult adjustment. Gerald is doing such an amazing job picking up the slack and taking care of me!

We told our friends, Ken and Cindy Bessho and Pauline Louie at dinner on 11/30 that we were expecting in June. They were all excited, but Cindy especially as she began asking all sorts of questions about how I was feeling. :)

We also told our families about the baby possibly being a boy! Gerald's Mom is very excited as this would be the first baby boy Wong in the family!

The Baby Is A... 10 weeks, 3 days

Dr. Wang told us today at our 10 week 3 day ultrasound that the baby looks very healthy.... and that is looks like we are expecting a baby boy! We know it's really early to try to determine the sex of the baby, so we won't necessarily go out and buy anything blue, but it's very exciting to think we might have a little boy in the family! The heartbeat was lower than at our last ultrasound, but Dr. Wang said that's normal and nothing to be concerned about.

The baby was wiggling and waving - there are so many milestones that we are experiencing, each ultrasound leaves an amazing impression on us. To actually get to see the baby move around for the first time took my breath away! We were also able to see the spine and count all five fingers on one of the hands!

Thanksgiving

We went to Vegas for Thanksgiving.... I have to say, it is sooo nice to be back working for Waleed. He has been so understanding, not to mention the fact that I can basically work from anywhere, so I was able to be in Vegas much longer than I would have been if I was still working for Jeff.

We bought my dad an early Christmas present - the Jeopardy TV game - which he loved! We wanted to be able to give him something that he could do in his room... and since he loves Jeopardy so much we figured this was perfect! It took us a while to get the game configured, but it actually is pretty cool - they have the squares just like in the real TV show, and you can choose categories / dollar amounts, get a Daily Double (some with video Daily Doubles also like in the TV show)! It's a really cool game.

My mom and I looked at houses, like we always do... that's one thing I love about Vegas is being able to see all the model homes! I found one house that I really love... less expensive than our house in LA, and it's 5 bedrooms! Of course, we won't buy it.... but it's nice to look!
