Hey all,

Now, it doesn't take a genius to guess what my blog is about. LOL

Yep, 7 days to go.. and I'll be officially married..
Wow, it feels so weird hey, Lawrence and I only went out for 1 month, then we knew we wanted to get married..
So it's been a long time coming. lol
He proposed back in November 2006, so yep, we're finally getting married, two years later. hahahaha

I'm so excited hey, I've been so blessed to have Kell as my Matron of Honour, and most importantly, as my Best Friend..
She's been great hey, the whole wedding thing has made me realise what a good friend she is..
She's also been there to tell me what looks better, what looks bad (LOL), or whatever..
And for that, I want to say.. THANKS SO MUCH HUN !!! BBFFE !!!! LOL :)

To be honest, I can't wait till it's all over..
Man, a wedding is CRAZY to organise. LOL
And on top of that, I have a toddler to look after, AND I'm pregnant with our second child too. LOL
I really do deserve a medal. hahahahaha

So.. if you want to know how the wedding will go.. here it is. LOL

We've invited only about 40 people.. we wanted it to be a small wedding.. for just our closest family and friends :)
Because, the way we see it, our wedding day is meant to be about celebrating the best day of our life, with people who love us, support us, and have been through everything with us..
And I've always believed in quality over quality, so for me and Lawrence, we always knew we'd have it small :)

The ceremony will be at the Church I was baptised at, had Reconciliation and Confirmed at, and went to as a Primary and High School kid.. hehe
And the reception will be back at our house.. because we think that's where all our memories are, as a family :)
We're gonna have professional catering, so it's gonna be cool :)

We've got the Photographer and Videographer all organised..
Alisha will be the Flower Girl.. hehe.. she'll be getting Baptised right after our Wedding as well :)

Oh, and me and Lawrence have written our OWN VOWS..... hehehehehehehe

And the day before the wedding, we're going to find out the sex of the baby..
Well, hopefully, if its legs aren't crossed. hehehe
I'll be 18 and 1/2 weeks pregnant by then, so I'll be having my Anatomy Scan :)
I'm 17 weeks and 5 days pregnant, now :)

For the first time in my life, I'm REALLY REALLY HAPPY..
And I guess I feel like I deserve it, given that I've been through a lot, and always tried my hardest to be a good person, and to lead a good life..
So I guess that's why I feel like karma exists, because ever since I met Lawrence, everything has worked out for me :)

Anyways, enough chatting.. here are some pics. LOL

So, we went to the Perth Royal Show on the First Day.. 27th September..
Lawrence hadn't been since he was young, and Alisha had never been.. whilst I hadn't been since I was 16 (four years ago)..

Here's Alisha playing the Clown Game at the Show. LOL



Here's Alisha and Me.. on the 'Cup and Saucer ride'..
I swear to God that I was more scared than her. LOL
She looked like she was bored. hahahahahaha



Here's Daddy playing with Alisha.. hehehe she loves it :)



Awww here's a lovely photo of Daddy and Alisha :)



LOL This was the funniest thing I saw at the Show. LOL
There were Emu Eggs and the sign read: "When freshly hatched they stagger around as though drunk" HAHAHAHA
I thought it was so funny, so I had to take a photo. hahahahahaha



Anywho, so here are some other photos.. taken at home :)

Alisha likes taking her Nappy Bags and putting things in them. LOL
Here she is with a Lemonade Can in it. LOL



"I wonder what I can destroy today....................." hahahaha



Last week, we decided to take a spontaneous walk to the park..
And while there, I took a photo of the lake they're building there..
It looks so beautiful already :)



Ok, and last Saturday, some actors from the TV SHOW 'Home and Away' came to Perth, for Telethon..
So we decided to go..
And we saw Morag, Tony, and Geoff from 'Home and Away'..... OMG !!!!!!!! LOL
You should've heard the girls scream for the guy who plays Geoff..
FAR OUT.. LOL

Here's a very blurry pic of the guy who plays 'Geoff'.. real name Lincoln Lewis..
We sat in the middle, so I had to zoom in, that's why it's so blurry. LOL
The person on the utmost left, with red hair, is 'Morag'..
The guy to the left of the 'white shirt guy' is 'Tony'..
And the guy in the white shirt is LINCOLN LEWIS ! lol



Here's a clearer picture of Lincoln Lewis, on the screen.. whilst the Telethon stage is in the back. hehe



Btw, I don't want Lincoln Lewis or anything (LOL), I just thought I'd share cuz I know a lot of people think he's hot. LOL
Plus, I wanted to brag that i met some famous people. hahahaha
I've been to Telethon about 4 times now, and I've gotten autographs and photos with some famous people, so it's pretty cool :)

Oh, I forgot to mention a few months back, we were in the City, and I saw "Nobbi" and "Cherry" from Big Brother. LOL.
They were just walking around, and these people came up to them, and asked for their autographs. hahaha
I didn't even realise it was them, till the people stopped them. haha
And to think that they were just right in front of us. hahahahahahaha
But yeah, I kept wanting to tell you, Cath, cuz u love Big Brother, but I kept forgetting. LOL
I know you weren't too fond of Nobbi and Cherry though. hahaha

Anywho, this picture was taken a few days ago.. we were at the shops and Alisha decided to lie down in the middle of the Toy Area. LOL



And here's Alisha trying to feed herself. LOL



Awwwwww.. and here she is today, trying to play on the computer :) hehehe
Btw, Lawrence has two keyboards there, cuz he uses 3 screens together, or something. LOL
He's a smartie :) hehe



Anyways, hope you enjoyed the pics, guys !!!! :)

So, chances are, I'll blog again before the wedding..
MOST DEFINITELY to let you guys know the sex of the baby :) hehehehehe
But don't be surprised if I blog the morning of the wedding with: "OMG I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY !!!!!!!" LOL

Thank you to everyone, for being such good friends to me.....
It's so nice to enjoy my happiness and excitement with you all !!!!!!!! :)

Have a great weekend ok !!!!!! :)

But it's ok, Lawrence works at Telstra BigPond, so he put me on a "Staff Plan"..
It's really cool, cuz I've got a new fone, and I'm on a plan now.. (Lawrence was worried about me not having credit sometimes, in case the car breaks down or something and I don't have any money to call :))

Anywho, here are the pictures:

Anywho, so on Wednesday, Lawrence had a day off, so we had a bit of family time :)
We decided to have a little walk around King's Park..
It was Alisha's first time there :)

The city view is SOO beautiful from King's Park..
Here's a picture I took of the view :)



And here's a picture of Lawrence and Alisha, posing in front of the city view :)
(Sorry the pic is a bit dark, but it was getting late :) lol)



Haha this was Alisha today.. jumping on the Bathroom scales. LOL
She's really smart.. when she sees the scales, she just jumps on :)
In this pic, it's like she's saying:
"Don't look at me... I'm weighing myself" LOL



Here's Alisha posing on the scales :) hahaha



Here's Alisha jumping on the scales.. and trying to open the cupboard. lol



Here's my pregnant belly side-on.. this pic was taken today :)
I am now 15 weeks and 4 days pregnant :)



Here's a picture of how my belly looks with my singlet.. I also took this today :)



So there are the pics.. and now here is my life story. LOL

Nah, I've been pretty good..
Last few weeks have been a bit stressful.. with finances, wedding stress, the pregnancy.. basically everything..
Oh, and there have been other personal issues too..
And also, Lawrence's grandmother in Hong Kong, passed away :( :(
She had dementia.. Alzheimer's Disease.. so sad :(
And it sucked, cuz she never got to meet Alisha :( :(

But I feel like, in the past few weeks, me and Lawrence have gotten stronger..
I keep telling myself, yeah, money sucks sometimes, the mortgage sucks, I feel really bad sometimes, but at least I have Lawrence and Alisha :)
The thing that keeps me going is my love for them, and their love for me..
I keep thinking.. life could be sooo much worse, but it's not.. which is so great :)

Oh, and guess what.. in EXACTLY 3 weeks from now, we're gonna find out the sex of the baby :)
And in 3 weeks and 1 day, we'll be getting married !!!!!! (Oh, and of course, Alisha will be getting baptised then too :) hehe)

It's all happening so fast..
Wow.. how time has flown by. hehe

OMG and guess what..
The Perth Royal Show is starting tomorrow.. so we're going TOMORROWWWWWWWWW !!!!
Alisha has never been before, Lawrence has only ever been once (but he was really young then), and I haven't been since I was 16 (four years ago)..
So we reckon it'll be a great day out :)

Ok, I think that's enough for now. LOL
Don't want you all to have 'information overload'. lol

Oh, wait, one last thing. lol
In two days, it'll be Lawrence and I's "2 year and 2 months" Anniversary. hehehe
Yes, we remember each month. LOL
I forgot last month though.. LOL.. Lawrence had to remind me. hahahaha
It's the pregnancy, I tell ya !!!! hahahahaha

Anywho, hope you're all well :)

A big big hug to Annie, who is a very very good friend to me !!!!!
And also to Jo !!!! Always thinking of you, sweetie !!!

And a big big group hug to everybody else......... don't squish me. LOL

Enjoy your weekend...
Watch out for double demerits, people. lol
(For those who have them, that is. lol)

LOVE YA'S ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All my love,
Thuy xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Hi all,

Nothing much has been happening.. just wanted to share something with you all :)

You know how I said that we're finding out the sex of the baby in 7 weeks?
It's actually in 4 weeks and 3 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the time, I made a rough estimate, and was assuming I was 13 weeks and getting the ultrasound done at 20 weeks..
But I was actually 13 and 1/2 weeks at the time (now 14 weeks), and the ultrasound is at 18 and 1/2 weeks..
Sorry, if that was too complicated :) hehehe

But anywho, bottom line is, we'll know the sex of the baby, in a month !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG DO YOU KNOW HOW SHORT OF A TIME THAT IS. LOL
Ok, long time, if you're like me, and countdown each day. lol

But the reason why I'm so excited is this..
When I looked at the ultrasound referral today (lol), I realised..
We'll be finding out the sex of the baby................

*DRUM ROLL*

*EGG ROLL* lol

ONE DAY BEFORE OUR WEDDING !!!!!!!!!

TALK ABOUT GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!
Sex of the baby, our wedding day, Alisha's baptism......... can it get any better ?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehe

So on the day of our wedding, we'll already know if we're having a boy or girl :)
Hehe pregnant bride glow :)

Oh, and if you haven't already realised, I added another ticker to my page.. LOL
"....... days until we find out the sex of our 2nd baby!." LOL

I can't believe we're getting married in a month..
Seems like yesterday Lawrence proposed.. and that was 2 years ago !!!! LOL

Anywho, hope you're all well !!!!!

Have a great week !!!!!

All my love,
Thuy xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

P.S. YES, I WILL BE SCREAMING THE SEX OF THE BABY AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS. hahahahahahaha :)

Hi all,

Wonderful wonderful news !! hehe

I saw the GP today to discuss the results of my blood tests and 12 week ultrasound..
And ALL IS WELL !!!!!!!

Our baby is in the LOW RISK GROUP for baby abnormalities.. SO YIPPPPPEEEEEE !
So that means, there is a VERY SMALL chance that it will be born with any abnormalities..
Very very small chance in fact..

Apparently, according to my ultrasound results...

Trisomy 21
Background Risk: 1: 1090
Adjusted Risk: 1: 21786

T18/13
Background Risk: 1: 1986
Adjusted Risk: 1: 39709

The cut-off between high and low risk groups is 1: 300..
So 1: 1090, 1: 21786, 1: 1986 and 1: 39709 ARE SOOO MUCH MORE UNLIKELY THAN 1: 300...
I feel so healthy right now, it's great. lol

Oh, and everything else is normal.. like, my amniotic fluid, the placenta, and the maternal adnexa..
(Btw, I'm not that smart, I'm copying this off my results. LOL)

So yep, "little rice grain" (yes, I know he/she is not a rice grain anymore. LOL), is healthy !!!!!!!

Onto other news, my nausea has gotten SO BAD that I had to ask the GP for nausea pills :( :(
If things get really bad tonight or tomorrow, I'm gonna have to take them..
It sucks hey.. the morning sickness is actually even worse now :(
I may not be throwing up 24/7, but trust me, nausea is not any better.. Imagining feeling sick ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, but being able to do nothing about it.. I don't even eat, and I feel sick.. :(
But it's all good, I'm happy the baby is well..
At least the nausea is a reminder that he/she is still there and healthy :) hehehehehe

Oh, and another thing, poor Alisha had a little cold before..
It was the FIRST TIME she had ever been sick since she was born !!!!!!
Wow.. 15 months without a cold.. HOW GOOD IS SHE. hehehehe
But it's easing up, so she's nearly ok :)

And as for Lawrence, poor him :(
His neck has been hurting a lot for the last couple of days..
I gave him a few neck rubs, but they didn't help too much.. he's in too much pain :(
And I tried putting "Dencorub" on him, but that sucked too. lol
But the GP reckons it'll get better in a couple days, so hopefully ey :)

BUT YIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BABY IS HEALTHY !!!!!!!! lol

OH AND OMG IN 7 WEEKS TIME, WE WILL KNOW THE SEX OF THE BABY !!!!!!!!!
PAR-TAY !!!!!!!! (As I told the GP as we left the room. hahahahaha)

Anyways, hope you all enjoy your weekend !!!!!

LOVE YA'S ALL !!!!!!!!!

All my love,
Thuy xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxox
