At 26 weeks

At 26 weeks, we went to see Dr. Elliott-Brown and according to her, if all goes well, it would be the last time.

She said every part of me is growing like it should. Yippee!!! It's a relief for Mama and Daddy.

She said I was 1 lb 9 ounces. Wow. That's quite a bit. I have 3.5 more months to go.

And I am excited to see Mama, Daddy and all my uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas. They will all be at the hospital to greet me, I am sure (smiling!!!).....

Mama found some fun birthday facts for me:

My birthstone will be Opal (Hope)
My Astrological Sign will be Scorpio
My Flower is Calendula or Cosmos (White, Yellow and Varied) - but I am a boy!!!!
I will be born in the Chinese Year of The Pig
This time next year, I will be 38 Weeks Old! That's almost 9 months old. Haha.
I will start kindergarten in 2013, be old enough to drive a car in 2023, finish high school in 2026, and will graduate from college with the class of 2030, give or take a year.

Can you imagine?

We took Mama's first few maternity pictures today. We had fun....... Daddy caught Bruno - the Bulldog smelling and licking Mama's tummy. He must be a pro now since he has Baby Laynce. Maxx still doesnt know. He just keeps wanting to looking into the camera.

6 months now and 4 more to go!!!!

I am 24 weeks old now - in Mama's tummy. We went to see Dr. Hsu earlier this week and everything sounds fine.

Mama's weight gain???? 8 lbs last month alone! Wow...... So, total weight gain is about 14 lbs so far.

Most people said that Mama's tummy is begining to show a little. Thank God, Mama's tummy is growing forward, not sidewards. She does feel like she wants to eat more - maybe coz I'm absorbing more of the nutrients now.

With my name chosen, I think the most important part of "Me" is done. Mama still hasnt had time to go by Walmart and Baby's R Us to confirm the things she wants to get for me. Mama said to wait for her to finish her Real Estate broker's exam first. I guess I will. We still have quite a ways to go, so we are not in a hurry.

Daddy is getting more and more excited. He spends the evenings - after dinner trying to listen to my heartbeat when Mama lays down. He can definitely feel my pushes too.

I am actively moooooving around!!!!

I have been actively moving around in mommy's tummy.... daddy felt my movement too last night. Mommy can feel me moving around during the day and sometime at night when she lays down to go to bed.

Mommy and Daddy agreed to a name for me....yippeeeee! I will get a Chinese name and an American name too.... First name Ming, Middle name Elliott.

Ming Elliott Yeo

Here is my name in Chinese. From top down....Yeo Ming. It means "Make Your Name Known".....
