Pregnancy: Week 24

I'm 24 weeks into my pregnancy, that means 16 weeks left. Time goes by really fast, feel like I haven't started anything at all on the preparation for the baby. Actually sometime I get anxious and worried... But I have started a to-do list and a to-buy list. To-do things like what to name the baby, filter the hand-me-down baby items we received, the one-month-rest after delivery, maternity tour at the hospital, the procedure and paperwork when labor comes and on and on. The most important item for me on the to-buy list is the infant car seat. It's essential, without it we can't bring the baby home! 

By looking at the check-up records, I'd lost 7 pounds the first month of my pregnancy. But now I'm about 7 pounds more than my original weight. I do feel hungry quite often and my appetite increases. The growth of my belly speeds up these couple of weeks and I can feel the baby swimming around everyday. I've been exercising more recently at our weekly OC fair visits. Walked a lot, even had a beach trip, went to the mall shopping, and attended a wedding. 

Please continue to pray for us, pray that we will stay strong physically and spiritually in Christ Jesus! Especially pray for God's anointing of joy to pour upon me everyday! Thank you for your constant care and love!

孕期已經進入第24週，離預產期只有16個禮拜。時間過得好快，感覺什麼準備都還沒開始。其實有時候還有點緊張跟擔心，所以開始列清單寫下該做的事情跟該買的東西。該做的事情像是幫baby取名字，把別人給我們的東西過濾一下，做月子的事情，參觀醫院及了解生產時要辦的手續⋯等等。該買的東西我目前最在意的是嬰孩安全座椅，這是一定要的，才可以把baby帶回家。

看我產檢的紀錄，懷孕初期的第一個月竟然瘦了7磅！現在體重不但有回到原來的重量，還多了7磅。的確常常都覺得肚子餓，胃口也變好了。肚子大的速度最近也比較快，也可以每天感覺到baby動來動去。這幾個禮拜運動量也增加不少，每個禮拜都去園遊會散步，走了很多路。還去了一次海邊、逛街、參加婚禮。

請繼續為我們禱告，保守我們身心靈在基督耶穌裡都健壯！特別是有喜樂的膏油天天澆灌我！謝謝一直關心著我們的你們～
