belly update













It's time again for the monthly belly bulge update! Getting bigger by the month :)
Actually supposedly it's not quite as big as it probably should be.. Mommy needs to eat more and put on a few extra pounds, hehe..

Only 1 more of these monthly updates if I keep it at the roughly monthly schedule, can't wait for the baby to arrive!

Baby Shower - Part 2

Baby Melissa is going to get spoiled! She's got a whole bunch of toys, clothes and other things before she's even arrived!














We received lots and lots of presents from friends and relatives for the baby shower! It really makes both Sandy and I feel very special that everyone is so happy for us!
















Here we have pictures for just some of the presents. We also got several red envelopes and gift cards to get stuff for baby Melissa as we figure out just what we're missing.












In addition to all the presents we received during the baby shower, many people who couldn't make it due to other commitments sent us things! A special thanks to Don and Marlene for dropping by with baby crib/changing table/ and a whole load of toys and clothings even though they couldn't stay for the shower. We both feel so fortunate and loved :)

Baby Shower - Part 1

Time sure flies! It's less than 2 months to the due date now.! We held our baby shower for Melissa this past Saturday. Lots of friends and relatives came and celebrated with us. Here are some pictures from the baby shower.

Shu-Han and Sally did a lot of the planning for the Baby Shower. Thanks to their big help, things went very smoothly. They planned several games, Including one where all the "young" guys had to drink out of a baby bottle as pictured below.. Turns out sucking from a baby bottle is very hard work!! Brion won this particular competition.











Another game involved items in hidden bags, where people had to guess what's inside the bag by feeling the shape of the items inside. There were no clear winner for that particular game, but everyone had fun guessing what the items were.











Here's the little piggy favor that Sandy ordered for the baby shower..
