Mommy's First Pregnancy Check Up

I had my first pregnancy check up today. Dr. Chang did v-ultrasound and printed out two pictures of my baby. Baby was only 9 mm which was about 6 weeks and 6 days old. She told me to take blood test to find out my hormone level.

Sleep Through the Night

Wyatt slept with daddy for 3 nights. When he finally slept with me, he cried and asked for nene. It took him awhile to fall back to sleep. I thought he would never stop crying. Finally, the second night ( 1/11), he slept through the night. I was shocked! He didn't struggle when I told him to sleep and he didn't wake up at all. YEAH! After 18 months he finally slept through the night!

18 Months Check Up

Wyatt didn't get any shots today. Ethan and I waited in the car while Eric took Wyatt to doctor's appointment.

Cold Turkey

We decided to make Wyatt quit breast feeding after we found out I was pregnant. He slept with daddy on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. He woke up few times crying. The first night was the hardest. After that he cried less and less.

Laguna Mountain

Daddy wanted to take us to see snow up in the mountain. Daddy ordered snow cables online. We also went to Burlington Coat Factory, Target, Ross, and TJ Maxx to look for snow pants, boots, beanies, and gloves for Ethan and Wyatt.

We weren't sure if there was snow in Laguna Mountain but it did snow on Wednesday. We didn't want to drive all the way to Big Bear, so we tried Laguna Mountain. Luckily, there was still snow. We arrived around 2pm and let them played about 1 hour. Ethan and Wyatt had fun. Wyatt couldn't walk with his snow boots, he kept felling. Ethan threw snow at Wyatt a few times. He kept asking us to make snow balls for him.

Pregnancy Test

I did a pregnancy test on 12/14 but it was negative. After we shopped at Burlington Coat Factory (we were looking for snow pants, snow boots, beanies, and gloves for Ethan and Wyatt), I wanted to stop by 99 Cents Store and pick up another pregnancy test. I was about to buy two since I didn't think it would be positive. I took the test right away after I got home. Eric was asking me, "What does two lines mean?".

Buns

I saw many recipes online and wanted to try and make them. I have made 5 different kinds so far ( buns with taro fillings 芋泥饅頭, plain buns 饅頭, buns with meat fillings 包子, buns with green onions 蔥花包, buns with two colors 巧克力饅頭).

My first one was buns with taro fillings 芋泥饅頭. They weren't as soft as I expected but still tasted good. Yesterday, I made buns with meat fillings 包子 and they did came out soft. Today, I made buns with meat fillings 包子, buns with green onions 蔥花包, and buns with two colors 巧克力饅頭.

9th Tooth

Wyatt's 9th tooth finally came out (uppper left).

Pizza and Alfredo Sauce

I made pizza dough on Tuesday. Eric found "cpk" pizza dough recipe online. I made Hawaiian pizza. It tasted pretty good, but a little bit too yeasty. The dough was soft. Next time I'll try to put sugar.

Eric even bought a cast iron pizza pan. We wanted to make pizza because Eric likes the pizza we ate at Grace's birthday party which was held at CPK. He said the pizza dough was soft and sweet. Ethan and Wyatt finished a personal pizza.

Last night, I made alfredo sauce I found online using cream cheese. We have tons of cream cheese left, so I tried making it. I used rotini pasta. I made the sauce first, then cooked the chicken, added vegetables, and then finally put sauce back into the pot.

You can find pizza dough and alfredo sauce recipes on my website.

Sea World

We bought Sea World annual memberships again. The deal was buy 1 year get 1 year free. This was the first time for Wyatt. I took Ethan to ride on Abby's Sea Star Spin. It was our first time on this ride. I also took him on Elmo's Flying Fish ride. This was my first time on this ride.

First Pumpkin Patch

After brunch at Viejas, we took Ethan and Wyatt to Oma's Pumpkin Patch. This is our first pumpkin patch. There is an entrance fee of $7 per child 1 year and older. Each child receives a water bottle, Jack Patch Pumpkin and participation in all the activities. One adult per paying child plays free.

Ethan went through hay bale maze, petting corral, "milking cow", played with toy trucks and tractors, slide, and hayride. We saw cows, bulls, and calves. They are quite stinky though.

This is the first time Wyatt wore shoes outside. He wasn't used to them, but he walked ok. When he touched the sand and hay, he looked at his hands and didn't want to touch them.

Ethan wanted to play longer, but we had to shop at Costco before it closed.

15 Months Check Up

Wyatt had his 15 months check up today. He got 2 shots on the right thigh and a prick on the left big toe (to check his iron level). He only cried for a few seconds (what a brave boy!).

Training Wyatt

Ethan wasn't a good sleeper when he was a baby/toddler. Wyatt doesn't sleep well too. He wakes up every 2-3 hrs to breast feed like Ethan. So, last Friday, Oct. 8, Wyatt slept with daddy. He went to sleep around 12 or so, and cried at 2 something, 4 something, 6 something, and then 7 something. We finally let him drink at 7.

The next night, he did a little better. He slept around 11:30, cried around 3 something, 6 something. I went to get him and breast feed him around 6 something.

Last night, he slept with me. I had a hard time making him sleep without the boobs. He kept climbing on me and come to me. I tried to give him a bottle and a pacifier, but he didn't want them. So, I told daddy to put him to sleep. It only took daddy few minutes to put him to sleep cuz he's very tired and sleepy already. He slept around 12 something, cried 2 times, and I fed him around 6 or 7.

2nd Child Speaks Earlier

Wyatt definitely talks earlier and more than Ethan. On Friday morning (10/1) as he woke up, he pointed to my nose and said "nose". Now he can say dada, mama, ma, jiu-jiu = uncle, jiao jiao/foot, choo choo, ge-ge= big brother, gou gou = dog, go go go, good, wo wo = Word World, bad boy, bao bao, nana = banana, ga = car, push, door, turtle, duck, ball, balloon, hao = ok, nene = breast milk, boobs, book.
