We felt the baby move! I was just sitting at my desk doing some work when I felt these little movements inside my tummy. "Eugene, I'm either gaseous...or the baby's moving!" I quickly put my hands on my belly (I also have headphones on my belly for baby to listen to some classical music) and not only did I feel him move, but I felt him "poke" my hand through my belly! It was absolutely incredible! Eugene put his hands on my belly and we waited a little bit...and then...MOVEMENT! I was so happy I started crying! We finally felt the baby move! And we got to enjoy the experience together!!
Move some more Baby! Mommy and Daddy are here to feel your every little movement!

Baby ___ Wong!
We went in for our major ultrasound today and boy what an experience! I had to drink 32 ounces of water one hour prior to the appointment and NOT use the restroom so that they can get a good ultrasound of my cervix, etc. to make sure everything's okay. I drank the water as directed, but I should have known (being in healthcare myself) that no appointment is EVER on time. Eugene and I waited and waited and waited and I was in so much pain! I really thought I was going to let loose right there in the waiting room! It got so bad that I ran to the restroom TWICE, but didn't fully "go" so that there's some fluid in my bladder for the ultrasound. It was so painful! My appointment was scheduled for 2:40pm, we arrived at 2pm, and didn't get in until 3pm! Agh!!! I'm just glad that it's finally over! Now, for our cute little baby. At 20 weeks, baby looks kind of like Skeletor huh? But it's cute how the baby has baby's hand on baby's head!
Now, the big question...is baby a boy or a girl? We held off telling even our family for a little bit so that we could share the secret between just the two of us. After the ultrasound, we celebrated with a yummy pineapple and ham pizza from BJs. We even had a pizookie afterwards! I think it's safe to say that my appetite and stomach are back to normal! Then, we stopped by Babys-R-Us to check out the strollers that fit the car seat we got from Gladys and Duke. Boy! Those Chicco strollers sure are HEAVY! Not only that, but with the car seat on top of it, the entire stroller looks like one big mess that I would have to push around all the time. I don't know if I'd be able to handle that. So if anyone out there has any advice on whether to get the matching car seat stroller or just a generic frame that goes with any stroller, please let us know!
Oh, are you still wondering about the baby? Allow us to introduce you to...Baby BOY Wong!
Here is baby's profile. Do you think baby looks more like me or Eugene?

Halfway there!
I'm 20 weeks pregnant! My, how I've grown...
We have a couple of upcoming exciting events to commemorate my 20 weeks:
The first half of the pregnancy has been quite eventful. I never thought I would be one to throw up from being pregnant, but I continued to throw up all the way through the 17th week. It wasn't until the start of the 18th week that I was able to eat again, and boy did I eat! Eugene and I had a fabulous brunch on Jan. 9 at Judy's Cafe. Eugene had one of the best omelettes ever and I had one of the best french toasts ever. Needless to say, we'll be going back there.
I promise that for the second half of baby brewing that I will update my status more often. Maybe once a week? For now, here are my stats:
**Here I am at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 19 weeks**
