Happy Chinese New Year — Xin Nian Kuai Le! Double baby showers this past weekend, double the blessings for our ssssnake baby. :)

We are beyond grateful for the thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity of friends. We’re not big party folks but many, many thanks for the encouragement, advice, prayers and just sweet times of fellowship with us before we become official parents.

Ack, didn’t get to take too many photos but we had to snap a quick one of the cutest cake with bootie cupcakes atop and a baby cake of its own. ;) Gluten-free (for G) and absolutely delish (even Y agreed!).

So the countdown continues…

Packages, boxes and parcels are arriving on our doorstep on a regular basis that you’d think it was Christmas all over again. BABY STUFF. It’s hard to comprehend how something so small requires so much … well, stuff! We kid you not — the UPS man delivers but has now ceased to knock or ring the doorbell. :D

As stork day inches closer, we’re kind of a mix of emotions but overall, thankful and hopeful for this gift of new life that we’ll be “in charge of”. Baby classes are wrapping up. They’ve been long but a wealth of valuable information. And we’ve been tacking on date nights before/after them which has been nice.

Can’t wait to meet you, Ongby (Ong + baby)!

Happy New Year!

And with it comes our new site/blog with a long-time-comin’ re-design … and … a soon-to-arrive Ong! Be forewarned — this may become overly saturated with baby photos very soon. :)

Anyway, the next few weeks will be prepping/cleaning, crash-coursing in infant care and enjoying our last days as just the two of us. Bracing ourselves for another huge life change…

PS: Feels odd not going snowboarding this year. It’ll be the first missed season since all our wedded and most of our dating years! BUT it’ll all be worth it, RIGHT? :))
