Update on Vegie Beds

Spring came and is almost gone. Our potato tubers from Diggers arrived just in time to be planted. We have three potato varieties; Sapphire Red, Nicola and Crimson. It's going to be potato galore come harvest time!! We've also got some Black krim Tomatoes, eggplants, seven colour mix capsicums and kai lan :) Here are some pictures from Day 0 and a month later.

Other garden projects we have happening at the moment include building the pergola with a slanted roof, hilling up soil around the potatoes soonish, staking the snow peas, fertilising the citrus plants by next weekend, squishing the vine moth caterpillars on the sultana vine and harvesting the seeds of the onion flower. More photos to come!

On the pregnancy side of things, I am currently in Week 18. Not much has changed since my last update at Week 17, externally anyway. My tummy is protruding a lil more and I'm still squeezing into my old clothes without any change in weight. I am looking forward to the morphology scan in Week 20. Can't wait to see lil Twinkle and hope he/she is growing well.

Right now, I am really craving for a bowl. ok maybe 4 bowls of kuey teow kia with chiak back, tofu and lou neng :) A plate of nasi padang with chips, rendang, sambal, tempeh, and lots of kuah ikan and maybe a piece of fried chicken would do too. Or just some afternoon kuih-muih. Can somebody send me some goreng pisang, popiah, nasi lemak and kuih koci please??? Sigh... a glass of milk and an apple would just have to do for now i guess.


Till next week :) xoxoxo

Expecting a Baby


Hello everyone!

It's been 20 months since our last post on our unfinished house. In that time, so much has happened! Our house was finallly ready! We moved in and soon after we had our official wedding in Mount. Dandenong, followed by our Chinese tea ceremony in Jaybee.

Fast forward 12 months and we are expecting a baby! I am 17 weeks pregnant today and everything is going well so far. Bubba is about the size of an onion with hair and eyes and ears all nicely developed and positioned. I guess bubba is well and truly getting used to my singing in the shower and my constant whistling.

We are calling bub Twinkle for now. Here is a piccie of Twinkle taken at 12 weeks 3 days :)

And here is pic. of me taken today at 17 weeks. Besides having big bedeng dengs, which hurt when squashed and terrible nasal congestion/ hay fever, I haven't had morning sickness or any aches or stretch marks (yet). I have yet to gain weight either which is a slight worry but everyone is different and i am trying not to think too much about it. I am sure it will happen in the next week or so.
