Dragon Punch & Kicks!

When I first felt babyDragon move, it was on December 23, 2011, I was 15 weeks and 3 days into my pregnancy. The best way to describe it was like a little bubble surfacing, like a big “bloop!” I was at work at the time when it happened, and after it did, I just sat there and froze with my hand on my belly thinking, could it be you baby? Exciting was my next emotional and I was just so thrilled that babyDragon said hi to me! I cannot stress how amazing this whole experience is, and I’m so glad that as the time goes by, babyDragon’s punches and kicks get that much stronger. Last week, Khoa felt babyDragon for the first time!!! We were so excited because that was around the 17 wk mark and that’s quite early for the daddy to feel the baby, so we were just in awe with babyDragon’s strength and eagerness to say hi to his/her daddy! =) So now Khoa always puts his hand on my belly whenever he can, to feel babyDragon as much as possible. We also started belly talking since babyDragon can hear us now! We love you so much already baby, and we eagerly await your arrival!

Thanksgiving 2011 in New York!

Since this was going to be our last Thanksgiving with just the two of us, we decided to go on vacation to spend our first holiday away together. We did everything from visiting the Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Central Park, Battery Park, to the Rockefeller Center and more! We got to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade up close in person as well, but our favorite event was the Jason Mraz Concert at Carnegie Hall! We had such a wonderful time together and even though I will still having a little bit of morning (more like all day) sickness, it did not prevent me from wandering around eating my way through New York City! Here’s an awesome video that Jennifer made from our many video clips we too of our amazing trip! Thanks Jennifer, you do magic behind the camera!
