Things get busier these days when different parts of our project are in progress. Here are some photos as of today:

There are still a lot of work but we are excited to see the place complete little by little everyday. ??

Arizona trip

July 24, 2019August 6, 2019 | Hoa Doan

We were supposed to go to Arizona to visit Tim’s grandma and mom last month. But my doctor advised me not to take long flights and I was really busy with the construction, I wasn’t able to join Tim.

Grandma is in the assisted living home due to her broken leg and dementia. It’s not easy dealing with all of these issues at the same time. Everyone tried to find a good place which is able to provide a good care for grandma. Tim and Michael are working together to fix grandma’s house and everyone hopes for her recovery and home coming soon. Get well soon grandma ? ?

Prenatal classes ?

July 24, 2019July 24, 2019 | Hoa Doan

The hospital where I plan to give birth offers prenatal classes every Saturday morning. It is very helpful and informative. Last Saturday, I was taught how to take bath, give massage and clean for the baby. It is a lot to remember and Tim has a lot to catch up once he’s here ?

So far, I gained more or less 6kg and got some discomfort from the 3rd trimester pregnancy. I think I need more exercise like walking and some massage ?. 8 more weeks to go… ?

9 years

July 16, 2019 | Hoa Doan

So Facebook reminded me today that it’s 9 YEARS of friendship between me and Tim. It’s kinda funny how many things happened during this time and how miracle it was that we are now together despite the big distance and too little time we met before all of these things: flirting, serious dating, marriage, pregnant, building homestay together, and so much more… All of that is just within more or less 10 months. ??

31-week baby!

July 15, 2019 | Hoa Doan

I have another ultrasound session today. The baby is doing well so far and I’m praying everyday that she will be strong, healthy and smart, just like her parent ??…

Since I’m working at home for the homestay project, I have more time to learn about babies. Yet there’s so much to learn. I hope I will do well as a mother soon ???

Look at our baby at 31 week, weigh 1,658 gram (3.6 pounds). We ? you baby girl!
