Sakura trees behind before the blossoms the beginning of April

Can see pinkish blossom buds on the trees~ which means sakura is on it’s way

Great weather on that day temperature getting warmer, not so colorful yet with flowers but everything seems to get lively though still a lil’ bit cold when the wind blows..

Lots of black? ducks on the lake

And they’re actually looking quite handsome on a closer look

Planned to bring some bento lunch for a picnic at the park..
But didn’t bother at last which we ended up eating yakisoba (instant noodles) from a shop there

Whenever we went for a date, we usually snap lots of two-shot photos on our own making funny faces and so.. we call this “Siu-Siu” (笑笑) which means, smile-smile in Cantonese
At first, “Siu-Siu” was just a phrase like saying “Say Chesse” just for us to get ready before the click. From then on, we started referring “Siu-Siu” as our two-shot where ever we go

Tee hee

I was trying to get a lovely kiss shot, and he kept making faces..

again

at last kinda..

Love this

Main Menu
メインメニューはこんな感じ

Before the main menu, this will showed up everyday to tell you the days of your pregnancy.
Love the special messages on some occasion like when you’re entering a new week or when there’s only 150 days left to meet your baby

アプリを最初に立ち上げると、毎日、今日からあと何日間で赤ちゃんに会えるかを教えてくれる～
新しい月に入った時とか、あと150日だよ～とかの時に、メッセージ付きで表示してくれるから、わくわくするよね～

The calendar with icons.

アイコンを自由に付けられるカレンダー アイコンの数はそこまでないけど。。

Fun to note down everything that never happened before Some wonderful feeling The movement The rapid growth

毎日の変化とか今まで感じたことなかった胎動の感動の気持ちとかを日記にするのだ

Weight graph. Diet controlling
Standard people ( BMI 18.5 ~ 25.0) has to gain approximately 7~12kgs throughout the whole pregnancy..
Slim people ( < BMI 18.5) should gain around 9~12kgs,
fatter people ( > BMI 25.0) should gain around 5kgs or less accordingly..
(according to a book I was reading – *anyhow, in every condition you have to check with your doc!)

My case, I think I’ll have to gain around 8kgs..

体重を管理できるグラフもついてる～
普段よりももっと食事のバランスを管理すべきの時期
ヤセの人（BMI 18.5 未満）は、9～12kg 増やす
フツーの人（BMI 18.5 以上 25.0未満）は、7～12kg 増やす
ヒマンの人（BMI 25.0 以上）は、5kg くらい

読んでる本による情報だけで、なんでも自分のドクターに確認してね

私は、だいたい8kg の増加を目指そうかな～

Weight (kg) 体重 ÷ Height (m) 身長 ÷ Height (m) 身長 = Your BMI

There’s another app – “BabyBump” recommended by friend, Joane

This is great too but since I was using the Japanese one to note down everything, I pass this out. And this app uses inches / pounds for measurement,.. I am more familiar to centimeters / kilograms..

2.5 months ago, some days in mid January, I was feeling a bit sick and nausea..
Yappi smiled and said could be..a baby

I let it be for a few days and see how it goes..
Didn’t want to be overwhelmed before the truth! Can’t be happy if it was just a flu..

On 21 January 2012, I decided to check with a pregnancy test from the drugstore..

Not even more than 5 secs, the line appeared

We were so so so excited

Still Yappi said, some times, this might not be accurate in some cases coz of hormone imbalance.

“Not to be too excited before the official check..”

And that was how it started A lil’ is inside me~

I am officially hired by this lil’ big boss for a lifetime
