Motivated!

I've been very motivated to work hard like a cow lately, dealing with all the incoming problems from both companies under my husband's management. It feels good to be needed. It feels good to be appreciated in some ways. Time flies a lot quicker for me. Without realizing, i need to go for week 23's checkup this Thursday. Another month has gone by. I was buried in piles of work. But i seem to be enjoying it at the moment.

Another 3.5 months to meet my girl face to face. It's been a moment of anticipation since the day we found out we're pregnant with our precious baby. I can't say i've been very health-conscious so far as i do drink milk tea, carbonated drinks from time to time but i've tried my best to avoid them if i can.

At the mean time, i'm still taking iron, calcium, folic acid one tablet each as daily supplement for my body and baby's. I drink pregnancy milk powder almost daily and recently, as introduced by a friend of mine, i start to drink protein powder supplement so that my girl grows stronger and bigger each day. I tried to cut down on my carbohydrate intake slowly and i'm still working on it as i need to maintain my energy level for work. One thing i notice is my girl can kick and move VIGOROUSLY in me now! When i say VIGOROUS, i do mean VIGOROUS without much concern that she shares my tummy at the mean time. No, she doesn't take that into consideration. Every night, she just party away in the belly doing whatever she enjoys doing. As i still haven't figure out (i dont know if i ever will) whether that's a kick or a punch, she just loves to do that sudden sharp kick or punch whenever i'm at the border line to almost fall asleep. Then, she just stops and leaves me staring at the ceiling for at least another 15 minutes before the sleep bugs come again. I'm being bullied! T__T already....

Anyway, we've already planned something out. Half year after she is born, we'll be bringing Chloe back to Perth to visit her grandma and both aunty and uncle..hehe. Then, when she's around 1 year old, we might bring her for her first time holiday somewhere near. ^_^ I'm looking forward to it...
