Lil Lui got to have his/her first "real" Chinese food dinner last night in LA. He/she seemed to enjoy it, even the red bean soup which I normally HATE. (Who decided hot bean stuff makes a good dessert?) I had to pass on the abalone because it still looks repulsive to me. It was a good meal with the Lui family. Hopefully Lil Lui won't be a picky eater since we will certainly want to expose the baby to all different types of food! Larry is adamant about monthly Sunday dim sum (once the baby eats solid food of course.)
I have been having very frequent dreams about having a little girl. I am not convinced that is what we are having, but I am anxious to get to know. One of my students told his mom that I was "growing a very smart little boy." Kids with autism seem to have a weird sense about all of that. I really don't know how people wait until the baby is born. I am WAY too anal to wait that long. I'm already annoyed that I have to wait until I'm 20 weeks along! Larry's mom gave us our first set of baby onesies....neutral colors of course. I cannot wait to get to buy little boy or girl clothes and start preparing the nursery for our baby!
Lil Lui is much more active these days. I'm not feeling kicks exactly yet, but more like popcorn. Stronger than the flutters I was feeling before. It is amazing to me that there is a BABY in my stomach. There is definitely more movement in the evening. My back is starting to ache more these days, but nothing to complain about. Lil Lui is now about 5 1/2 inches from head to booty and weighs about 7 ounces. We get the results of my AFP test at my next appointment on Dec. 30 so I am hoping that my little monster is healthy and developing how he/she should be. Ugh, I'm sick of having a he/she! =p
