GROWTH SPURT?

I'm still hauling a "precious cargo" and 35 weeks along today.  This "precious cargo" is, I believe, experiencing a growth spurt at the moment.

Yesterday I had a plate of fried rice stick noodles at Church before heading home.  Once home, I went straight to the refrigerator for a medium plate of Cantonese fried mee fun.  Fifteen minutes later, I was craving chewy chocolate chip cookies.  So off we went to Trader Joe's to do grocery AND grab a box of my favorite chewy chocolate chip cookies -- which I immediately opened and ate on the way home.


As soon as we got home, I felt really tired and decided to nap for an hour.  I got up because I dreamed that the trail mix I just bought from Trade Joe's was left at the store.  Off I went to the kitchen pantry to check while greeting Marcel on the way there, "Koko, where is my trail mix?"  Marcel quickly followed me to the kitchen to find that I already stored away the trail mix in the pantry before I took the nap.  That gave us quite a laugh!!!


Though I found the trail mix already, I didn't eat it.  Instead, I fixed a quick dinner of mandarin orange and pork shu mai because I was hungry.  Thirty minutes after dinner, as I was getting ready to go to the gym, I was hungry again.  So I ate some more cookies on the way out per Marcel's suggestion.


Last night, I couldn't sleep because my shoulders hurt (from sleeping on a different bed these past few nights).  So I couldn't get up for my swimming routine this morning.  I finally got up at 9AM only to find myself tired and sleepy again by 11AM.


Oh my "precious cargo," are you in a growth spurt right now?  Awww.  I can't wait to see you.  But for now, please stay inside and grow some more.  We'll see each other when you're ready to come out and it's safe for you to do so, okie?  Woof you, Baby!!!
