HELLO ALL !!!!!!!!
Yes, it's me, the pregnant woman who has disappeared off the face of the planet. lol
Nah, sorry for not blogging in a month, life's been pretty hectic, and the pregnancy has been making me SOO TIRED :(
I've had bad morning sickness since I was about 8 weeks, and I'm almost 26 weeks.. so yep, it sucks :( lol
But anywho, a lot's been happening..
The biggest thing of all is about 2 weeks ago, we moved into our new home..
It was the toughest decision of my life, to be honest..
It's funny, you get married, you have kids, and you think that somehow there'll be that defining moment that makes you say: "Wow, I'm old now" LOL
But to be honest, that real moment came when Lawrence and I were faced with a decision, and instead of doing the "young adult" thing and going with what we wanted, we went with what we thought we NEEDED..
And I'll say, we feel so proud of ourselves..
If you've read my first Minti article, you would know that my parents were helping us with our mortgage..
Well, it reached almost $5000 per month, and we thought, was this stress even worth it??
And what sort of life are we living, if we have to rely on our parents?
It wasn't at all about pride, it was just the realisation that WE are parents now, we have a responsibility to our children..
And if we can't pay for the mortgage by ourselves, what's next.. their school fees?? Their clothes??
We wanted to feel financially secure, and live life WITH money, not a life revolving AROUND money..
So, we said, we'll do what we never wanted to do - we'll sell the house..
And it was a very hard decision to make at first, that house has so many memories.. but we knew we were doing the right thing..
And now, we're living in our house that Lawrence pays all by himself, it's closer to his work, it means we don't have to stress so much about money, it means we can provide a happier life for Alisha, and for our new baby on the way, Alexia.. and for our future children..
And it's great.. we're so much happier now :)
And unlike people our own age, we could have taken the easy way out, we could have said:
"Nah, we'll keep asking for help" but we thought: "No, we'll do the right thing, the mature thing, and start anew"
I feel so proud of Lawrence and I, we defintely don't feel like we're only 20 and 21. LOL
This whole moving experience has made me realise another two things..
How much I love Lawrence..
And also how much I love Alisha.
At first, the move was very hard for me, being the one who stays at home, it was hard for me to adjust..
But I kept trying to move forward, because I knew how much the move meant to Lawrence, and how much it would positively change his life..
And it was then that I realised that I love Lawrence more than I ever knew..
When you can do something for someone, without a hint of selfishness, without a hesitation in your mind; that is LOVE..
And in regards to Alisha, I did this for her, because I knew it would create a better future for her, give her parents that she deserved.. parents that wouldn't always worry about money, that could play with her, without a care in the world..
And so, when you can do something for someone, who hardly understands a word you say, nor the actions you take; but can see it in your eyes how much you love them; that is LOVE..
So yes, I am MUCH MUCH MUCH happier now :) hehehehe
We thought it was a good thing to move now, before Alexia is born, so we have something stable for her :)
Anywho, I'll give a quick recap of everything else, then it's onto some pictures !!!!!! HEHEHE LOL
Oh yes, the pregnancy has been going well.. the doctors don't seem to be worried :)
But the nausea has been DREADFUL :(
I feel really really bad everyday basically, I just got unlucky :(
Sometimes I just feel very bad the whole day, or sometimes I actually throw up a little.. :(
But right now, I think the most important thing is the health of the baby, which is why I'm hardly online, because I'm usually resting :)
And Alisha turned 1 and 1/2 years old; on Friday, 5th December.. and so we needed to get her 18 month immunisation needles..
YAYY she didn't have any side effects.. nothing at all, not even a fever !!!
My lil daughter is a toughie :) hehehe
Omg, and we saw the paedetrician last week.. and guess what..
She said that Alisha is developing FASTER than kids her own age, and when she's older, she'll probably be good at something like piano !!!!
MY KID'S A GENIUS !!!!! LOL
Oh, and as for Lawrence, poor hubby of mine :(
He's been sick for about 3 weeks straight..
He had a throat infection, and was on antibiotics for a while..
It kept getting worse, but now it's eased up.. but he hasn't fully recovered yet :( He's still a little sick :(
But let's hope he does get better soon hey :)
Ok, time for the pictures !!!!!!!
I am soooo sorry, but there's quite a lot.. lol (I haven't blogged in a month, remember. LOL)
You guys said that you wanted to see the professional photos of Alisha, at our wedding (in October this year)..
So here are some !!
(I've reduced the quality of the images, because the originals are quite large :) hehe)
Lawrence, Alisha, and I walking down the aisle
Alisha.. with a cute lil bruise on her forehead.. poor girl :( hehehe
Alisha crying :( aww :(
Alisha crying.. but looking cute.. hehe
Alisha crying.. and pondering to herself. LOL
Family wedding photo :)
Alisha drinking her Pop Top. LOL
Alisha looking beautiful.. as always :) hehe
Now.. these are just a couple pictures that I took about a month ago :)

And here are some more recent photos :)
I was pretending to poke at Alisha.. so she started laughing. LOL
Happy Alisha.. and Sleepy Daddy. LOL
Alisha eating sushi. hehehehehe so cuteeeeeeee !!!
Recent family photo :)
Daddy and Alisha cuddling
Someone who I consider to be one of the MOST beautiful people in the world, inside and out, did something very beautiful for me..
When my best friend Kell went to Melbourne recently, she met up with Annie, who gave Kell a package to pass onto me !!
You should've seen the look on my face, when I opened it to find SEVERAL gifts that Annie had bought for me and our family :)
She bought us a tea pot, Alisha a t-shirt and barbie doll, a children's face cloth, and Alexia some booties...
I just want to say, first and foremost, Annie is one of the most beautiful people you will ever meet !!!!!
I have never even met Annie in person, only spoken to her through Minti, yet she has the most beautiful heart to buy me all those things..
And as a gift to you, Annie, here is a photo of Alisha wearing the t-shirt you bought for her :)
Now, onto the other pictures :)
Alisha and Daddy at the Beach :)
Alisha and Daddy playing at the Beach.. how happy do they look :) hehehe
Alisha dancing at the Beach :) LOL
Watch out boys. LOL HAHAHA
Alisha with her hair tied up (Courtesy of me. MOI. LOL).. and food all over her face :) HAHAHA
And because you guys wanted more belly pics (*Coughs* missnickley LOL)..
Here are 4 photos that I took today, at 25 weeks and 6 days :)
Belly side on

(Ignore the white bra. LOL)
Belly front on again
Touching my belly side on
Wow, geez, I better stop typing before I die.. lol
And before you guys die too. lol
It's been great blogging again, I've missed you all..
(Though, you've probably seen me around.. commenting on Minti blogs and photos :) hehe)
Hope you've enjoyed reading the blog.. and looking at the pictures...
Sorry for making it so long..
I thought I'd better make up for lost time :) hehehe
And in case I don't blog before then, I hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS..
And a very HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! :)
LOVE YA'S ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All my love,
Thuy xoxoxoxoxoxox |

Re: A really really really big blog. LOL
Hi Thuy,
I have really missed your blogs.
i am sorry you are still feeling unwell with the pregnancy. I can't offer anything for it as i really didn't get much morning/afternoon/ night sickness with either of my pregnancys.
You are so mature for your age. It is wonderful that you and Lawrence decided to buy another house so that you could do it on your own. Your children will thank you in years to come.
Keep the belly pictures coming, they are so cute. I love pregnant bellys. I guess i better also tell you that the photos of Alisha are just so cute too. The ones where she is crying at your wedding are just heart breaking, i want to climb into the computer and give her a big cuddle..
Anyway i must finish here but if i don't get a chance to tell you, I hope you and your family enjoy your christmas
Love Juzzy xoxoxoxox

Re: A really really really big blog. LOL
Hi Juzzy,
Aww.. well, I'm glad to be back :)
Aww that's ok, I'm hoping I'll feel better soon, but I don't think so.. :(
But it's ok.. *fingers crossed* hehe lol
Thank you, yep, we definitely did it for our kids, we think it's very important that we make decisions that will positively affect their futures :)
Oh, and we didn't buy another house, we're renting, but we're paying rent EQUAL to the mortgage (as Lawrence's mum owns it), so we can test whether we can afford it.. and if we can, we'll buy it.. so it's like we own the house already :)
Awww glad you like the pics..
Hehehe and that's cute, I bet Alisha would love the cuddle. LOL
Awww thanks, I hope you have a Merry Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!
Love Thuy xoxoxoxoxoxox

Re: A really really really big blog. LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WOO HOO, I WIN.. I WIN !!!! LOL
Aww thank you, Marg..
And haha yep, she looks so sad when she cries.. hehehehe
Makes it a bit hard to discipline her sometimes. LOL
You're right, it has become more our home now.. we feel like it's something that's OURS now :)
Ooh maybe I should try pure peppermint..
I've tried crackers, but problem is, I end up not wanting to eat them at all :( lol
I've become really picky with food now, which makes it so hard to eat :(
Awwww thank you so much, that's so sweet of you to say..
Yes, I've realised that when it comes down to it, you get over "sentimental things", but the thing you never get over is stress.. so why not do things that will lessen the stress, ya know ?? :)
Hope you're well !!!!!
(This feels like another one of our deep conversations. LOL)
Love Thuy xoxoxoxoxox

Re: A really really really big blog. LOL
Dear Thuy, nice to see you pop in or should I say POP OUT, with those lovely belly pictures hehe! looking good sweetie....sorry your still suffering with nausea though, fingers crossed it settles down soon for you. Great to hear that Bub is doing fine and you are resting.
I wish you all the very best in your new home and what a wise choice to sell & move to relieve the stress of a huge mortgage and all the reasons you did this are all the right reasons. "That is Love"
You are such a very special person dear thuy, every word you write, comes across with so much love and emotion.
Your photo's are fabulous, I so love the one of Alisha dancing on the beach.
Take care sweetie.
Much Love Janice xxxx
PS. If I don't get a chance to catch up to you before Christmas....I sincerely wish your wonderful family a joyous & peaceful Christmas.

Re: A really really really big blog. LOL
beautiful thuy
so glad that you are happy in your new home.
a home is your castle and it truly is whatone makes of it to feel homely loved and comfortable is important and you have achieved this in your new home. you are so mature for your age to put love and family ahead of "materalistic things" is fantastic
i had tears in my eyes when i read all this because you certainly put others first. by the time my tears dried up i read on only to have more tears
thanks for your kind words Alisha looks just like a "princess" in her tshirt . i always forget that she is only 18 months old. she has a wisdom beyond her years.
i hope your nausea improves and a speedy recovery for lawrence too
love all the photos
thanks for the update and glad to hear that you are resting
lots of hugs and kisses

Re: A really really really big blog. LOL
Hahahaha yep, I thought I'd better warn you all, in the title. LOL
HAHAHAHA you're not kidding. LOL hahahahahahahaha
But OMG, I can't believe I keep forgetting. LOL
I needa remember to get the oranges, everytime I pass the bananas. LOL
Aww thanks sweetie, hehe she's our little cutie :) hehe
Haha nah, Lawrence didn't pass anything onto me..
But I don't think he's entirely better either.. poor him :(
But thank you though :)
Hahahahaha funny thing is, if you saw me in person, it'd probably be hard to tell that I'm pregnant.. people usually don't even notice. lol
I think my belly looks bigger in pictures, than it actually is. LOL
I know hey, Alexia will be here in no time.. *scared* LOL
Aww yep, the new house is doing great :)
I hope you're doing well sweetie, always thinking of you and your family..
(Btw, I LOVED the picture you left in my lounge.. hehe did you make it yourself?? hehe)
Love Thuy xoxoxoxoxoxox

Re: A really really really big blog. LOL
Aww thank you so much, Nat..
I'm sure you're looking fab, as well !!!! hehehe :)
Nah, we're renting now.. but at least we're paying for everything ourselves..
We feel so much more independent now.. it's great !! :)
Aww hey, I'm sure you'll be able to own a house someday..
The house we're renting is owned by Lawrence's mum, but we're paying EXACTLY what the mortgage is (to test whether we can afford the mortgage), and if we can afford it, then we're going to buy it..
And thing is, I think that most people can buy a house, it just depends on how much it's worth, location etc.. but it's always possible :)
Aww and thanks hun, we are happy hey..
Happiest we've been in ages :)
Hope you're doing well..
And hope the morning sickness hasn't gotten to you, too much :(
Love Thuy xoxoxoxoxox
