  • imagesarack:
    be honest.. do you really want a girl or boy? you have to pick one.

    girl. i KNOW i want a girl at some point in my life, and i'll feel more comfortable to get it out of the way.

    but i want a boy because my brother is having a boy, and i "need" to compete.  (chinese family culture stuff).

    what kind of feeligns do you have about your labor? long/short/tough/easy... what are you thinking?

    well i know it's going to be painful, and i know i'm going to cry. but i'm very prideful, and want to go natural. i don't like quitting/giving up....i hope it will be short and easy, though :)

    when do you put all of the stuff up in the nursery? or does some one buy the stuff while you're in the hospital and do it?

    we will try to set up as we get it. but we haven't done a lot of purchasing....so, it's still pretty empty in there!

    what is your favorite food lately?

    nothing out of the ordinary. i *miss* moms cooking though, a lot! but my mom doesn't really cook much...haven't much since i was in middle school.

    i miss chinese food in general. don't get to eat it a lot, since it's not easy to cook, and getting to the grocery store is touch.

    what kind of shampoo do you use?

    LUX. it's found in asian grocery stores for about 5x the price you buy it overseas, so whenever family visits, their job is to bring me shampoo :)

  • imagesarack:

    are you getting excited for your babyshower?

    yes and no. yes, because i think it will make the baby more "real" (it's still really unbelievable that i'm pregnant!!), but no, because it's awkward. i don't *really* want everybody to spend all this money on me. it's not like h and i can't afford it.

    90% yes. i'm definitely going back to work for at least a little bit after maternity leave. and if it's an easy transition, i'll stick with it. if it's not, then i will high-tail it. we don't need the income, but it would be nice.

    we don't do *any* thing. no chores at all for the first 30 days. *technically* i'm supposed to stay in bed and only get up for the bathroom (not even showers...)...my MIL is *supposed* to stay with us, in the baby room, and whenever the baby cries, she wakes up and brings the baby to me to feed. 

    i don't think we'll be that extreme....i think i'm being pretty "average" chinese-american by staying home except for dr appts. i don't plan on cooking or cleaning for the first month though.
