N, there’s the second one…

I almost forgot! Well, I don’t know if I will keep record for all of them, but I would like to do that just so we can see these pictures n exactly when it happened.
Yep, John lost his second tooth last night. It’s just about a week since he lost the first tooth. Now he’s more excited about “Tooth Fairy $5” than afraid of loosing another tooth.

Yea, look at his smile! Haha. So he found his $5 from “Tooth Fairy” this morning. He already spent his $5 from the last one… he’s already bugging us to take him to stores so he can get another junk…

Cream Puff… Yum!

When I see somebody eating something on TV… then I feel like that food. My husband always tells me “You just wanna eat it, because you saw it!” Yeah, that’s right. I wanna eat what they eat! So today, not TV, but I was reading somebody’s blog… She was talking about the cream puff with strawberry n whipped cream which she found in her parents’ refrigerator, n she ate it in the morning. She was so nice so she put the pic of the wonderful cream puff on her blog as well…
………………
“I WANT TO EAT CREAM PUFF!!!!!”
My hubby cannot say no to his pregnant wife’s sudden cravings.lol So we went to get some cream puff. There is one good cream puff store called “Beard Papa’s” near our house, like 5 mins driving.

This “Beard Papa’s”, actually from Japan. By now, you probably know that Japanese sweets are not too sweet, which is GREAT! So this store is one of my favorite.

See? Now you wanna eat it too, don’t you?lol We all love it!


Kids like chocolate cream ones, my husband likes their éclair, n I usually get their original vanilla one, but today, this new one caught my eyes…
Strawberry Short Cake!!!!!
Original ones are custard cream inside, but this one is whipped cream with a bunch of fresh strawberry inside… mmmmm… YUM!!! It’s definitely my favorite now!

Ameba Pico

Do you remember I introduced the Japanese blog site which has those avatar social network thingy? Guess what I found… They started U.S. version on FB! Yay!
It’s basically same, more face figures, less items for now. It’s just like those FB App games like YoVille n others. It’s cuter though.lol
For those who confuse n think “WTH is this game?” “What do I do?”, let me tell you a lil…lol
There’s no farm to crop, just communicate to others will give you “gummies”. If you listen to the ‘how to start’ kinda demo, you’ll get 5 tokens, which you can exchange to anything in the shop. To buy items, you will need that token or Ameba Gold. You can buy Ameba Gold via PayPal, or I guess there’re another way to earn Ameba Gold. You also can buy some of items with gummies as well, mostly in vender machines. You can earn gummies by doing some new stuff(moving furniture, changing clothes, go travel, e.t.c.), or get Pico Props. Usually if you give Props, you’ll get Props back.
So this is my Pico, n my room!

In Japanese one, it’s connected with their blog service, so we can earn gold by blogging n stuff. I am not sure how far they will go with this U.S. version… I hope there will be more in the future.
Wow… I talked so geeky… That’s enough!lmao

A Week Younger

I had another Ultrasound appt yesterday. It was for cervix length checking. But before starting internal ultrasound, she also checked the baby’s measuring.

March 8, 2010 -18w5d-

"A week younger..."

Everything looked fine. Actually she is a week younger size, but it’s not a big difference to change the due date. So, it’s good.lol Her heart beat is fine too!
Cervix length was fine as well. Good… I’m still nervous about that. Especially we are going to the Big Island for our vacation next week.
Lately, my everyday feeling routine is same… Morning, I’m fine, but not hungry so most likely skip breakfast or eat just fruit. After take John to school, I play or blog on my computer a lil bit(?).lol Around 10:00am to 10:30am, I get hungry, so I have early lunch with Michele(usually leftover from the night before dinner). Then around noon, I get extremely tired n sleepy, followed by headache… I close my eyes for 30mins to an hour, but cannot really sleep.
I definitely eat less than before I got pregnant this time. I know I supposed to eat for 2, but my stomach got smaller, seriously… It’s not like me! I’m the person who LOVE to eat! Well, I eat healthier too though. But I gotta eat some more to help the baby to grow…

John’s Tooth

It’s been about a week… John’s bottom tooth had been wiggly. It would be his first tooth lose, so he’s all freaked out! It’s been so wiggly but the root was also strong. So we’ve been fighting with this tooth.
Last night, as every night, we were trying to pull his tooth. The way his dad do is, just pushing the tooth little by little, well it helps make it more wiggle, but it also hurts. So John didn’t want his dad to touch his tooth anymore.lol
John was asking us for the new(?) Sonic game. We wouldn’t get that with no reason. Then I thought…
“John, if you pull that tooth out today, we’ll buy that game for you!”
Now, John got all excited. He locked in the bathroom, n started to work on his tooth all by his self. He came out every 5mins or so, then show us how wiggly it got. It looked more crocked, seemed it’s ready to pulled. So I helped him… but this time, it’s my way.
“One… Two… THREE!'”
I pulled it quick!
“Aw… aw? It didn’t hurt!”

Ha-ha! Mother knows best!lol Finally, that all drama n all crying with this lil tooth is over… Well, I know that more to come, but at least now he knows that ‘mom won’t hurt me!’lol

Look at this goofy smile…lol  Oh, I’m so glad it finally came off. He couldn’t eat much lately because of this tooth.
Now, we gotta keep the promise we told him… So we ran to Game Stop, n got the game he wanted…

He’s super-duper happy! Well, that’s what we want after all… Then…
“I still get the money from Tooth Fairy!”
Of course… He didn’t forget. For him, this game is from dad n mom, so it’s nothing with Tooth Fairy…
We don’t have Tooth Fairy in Japan. What we say when our tooth came off is, if it’s a bottom tooth, we throw it to the sky, n if it’s a top tooth, we throw it to the ground. That’s all. No prize.lol
So I’ve seen n heard about this all Tooth Fairy thing, I kinda like it. I just wasn’t so sure if a quarter would make this kid satisfied after he got this game from his dad n mom. Well, I don’t mean to spoil him, but what could he get with a quarter??? He finds those coins everywhere in the house… Should it be a dollar? But still… With the dollar, so he can get another M&M? So we… more like I decided…

Yep. In this house, Tooth Fairy would drop $5 for each tooth.
“Mommy! Look! 5 bucks!!!”
That was my alarm this morning… I’m just happy that he’s happy…

Basil Chicken

Another great recipe from my dear Cookpad! I LOVE basil. Love the smell, love the taste, love the color! N basil n tomatoes are best match! So when I saw this recipe, I knew I would love it.
Ingredients:

• Chicken Thigh
• Fresh Basil Leaves
• Petit Tomatoes
• Olive Oil
• Garlic paste
• Salt n Pepper

Direction:

1. Cut each chicken thigh into 2 pieces, n tenderize them. Massage them with Olive oil, garlic paste, salt n pepper then marinade.
2. Cut all petit tomatoes into a half.
3. Sandwich basil leaves in between 2 pieces of chicken.
4. Heat a pan. Cook one side of chicken to golden. Then flip them, reduce heat to low-medium, n put a lid on. Cook until it’s all the way cooked.
5. Put tomatoes in the pan, let them cook so tomato juice will make good sauce.

That’s it! It’s so easy! I also made Spinach n Bacon Spaghetti with it. It was soooooo good!! I loved it, my hubby loved it, kids ate all too! I definitely will make this again!

Japanese Blog

I’ve started… RE-started Japanese blog last week, n I’m into it right now…lol Well, obviously it’s totally Japanese, so most of you cannot even read… But the reason why I’m so into it is, it’s not just ‘blog’. It has so many stuff we can do besides just blogging.
OK, let me show you a lil…

This is my blog page. Even in this blog service, they have timely blog material, we just blog about the theme, n we could earn “the gold”(it’s like point). You see my avatar on the left, I can play with this avatar…

With that avatar, I can have my room, my clothes, n everything… Well, I just started n I don’t have “the gold” to buy things in there much yet… Actually I didn’t buy any of it, they have scratch game every day, n we can win something every single time. It’s only once a day tho.

N this is one of the place we can meet some ppl. (Did you find me?) I already met some ppl here, it’s actually nice to meet new ppl who have same interests.
I wish they would start English version…  It’s very fun!
