Guess who this is . . .

Baby Chong!

Due to be born on August 12th, which makes me 13 weeks and 2 days into my pregnancy. It was so amazing to finally see the little body that's growing inside. I kept having strange thoughts of my belly being empty, but it's not!

I know the ultrasound images sometimes look like blurry shades of gray, so I labeled some of the body parts. Hopefully, they will help you see the little Chong.

As of yesterday, the baby is 7.03cm long, has arms, legs, hands, feet, a spine, a brain, a stomach, and maybe some other parts that I can't think of right now.

Christmas in the UK and OC

We celebrated the beginning of the Christmas season with friends and co-workers in England and finished it with friends and family in California.

Latest Creations

I've been on a yarn binge lately. As soon as I finish one thing, I have to start another. My fingers cannot stay still. First, I finally finished knitting my green hat that I started almost a year ago. The original hat was my first ever knitted item. It's also the one I lost in London one of the first times I wore it. My second effort turned out a little short, so I added a few rows of crochet to the edge. I will not lose this one. Next, I made a stocking for my mother-in-law to match some that her mother made for her years ago. Then a brown hat for my dorm's "Dirty Santa" gift exchange. It's not like it sounds, though. It's only dirty because you can steal other people. My latest is a funny-looking hat that I might take apart. The pattern was much cuter than my final product, but at least it was fun to make! I had to get a little creative with the brim cause it initially kept flopping down over my eyes.
