Two weeks ago SIL and her family moved in. Now it's more crowded at home with two maids in the kitchen, sometimes with the confinement lady (for my SIL) as well. And two dogs to accompany Summer who would otherwise be lonely. My little niece of 3 yrs and an even younger niece of 1 month are here too. Which is not a bad thing, having more people around. Since then, dinner has been proper and filling. Initially I find the confinement food yummy, but the law of diminishing returns set in and now I find it so so. Maybe the confinement lady's cooking is not quite to my taste. I prefer 黄妈妈's gao luck chicken versus the confinement lady's gao luck 连藕 soup; MIL's potato soup versus the confinement lady's. But still I appreciate the many dishes for dinner these days. When SIL moves out in one week plus time, we'll have to bear with bland simple dishes again.

Yesterday WW and I took half day off work to catch Toy Story 3. It was a nice show with a storyline for the 3D version. Ever since watching Up in 3D, I expected all movies to be better in 3D mode. But we decided to watch it in 2D as WW is less keen with 3D in case he gets dizzy. We should catch more shows before we lose the freedom to do so.

These days the little girl kicks more and with greater force. Maybe she has my power taekwondo legs. And she'll remind me of my hunger so that I'll go replenish foods. My tummy is not that big yet, and amazingly I still am able to hide it in some looser clothes. Good thing too that my arms and thighs are not expanding as thought would be. Hopefully I can go back to pre-preggie build shortly after birth. We need to get all the baby stuff soon! The cot, the chest of drawers, BB clothes, stroller, car seat and so much more. May this year's bonus be great!
