2 year anniversary and my belly at 19wk

Friday is our 2 year anniversary. With all the baby excitement, we almost forgot about it. So the conclusion is the baby is a bigger event than our marriage. We went to Benihana, a very nice restaurant, except that the loud teenagers at the next table were a little annoying. I can't imagine what my baby girl will be like when she is 16!
The restaurant waitress took a picture of us and put in this little frame.
Major complained that she can't see my belly in the previous photos. hehe. Here is how my belly looks like at 19wk1dy. You can compare this one with the one at 14week I just posted (but because it was drafted in April, so it's appearing much below in the April blogs)

First Mother's Day Present!

There has been a lot going on lately: Mother's Day, the Quake(My heart goes out to all my fellow countrymen who are suffering from this disaster.), the baby movement and our 18wk ultrasound. In addition, I have a very bad cold, but I've got over the shock and adjusted to the idea of having a girl. :)
Scott gave me this body pillow as my first mother's day gift. It will make me sleep better (I am actually sleeping very well, knock on wood). He said the gift is from him and the baby. But I think our baby gave me the "fluttering" feeling as her gift (which is the most wonderful feeling I have ever felt!)
The pillow is very versatile, I can do this with the baby (right now, it's a little dog).
The baby is estimated to be 11oz, which is way above the average weight for babies at her stage (average is 5 to 7 ounces). The ultrasound technician said the due date should be October 1st according to her current size. My baby is like me, impatient with the waiting. :) Here is our fiesty baby girl trying to push the ultrasound lady who was poking her too much:
