Woo hoo!! At my appointment today, the doc also seemed to know just by touching my stomach where Gabe's butt was and he guided my hand to where a "soft" spot was and said that's where his bum is, hehe.. cute huh? In 2 more weeks, I'll have an ultrasound to measure growth, my first ultrasound in the third trimester, which I'm really looking forward to!<br />

Some days I feel that my stomach has gotten bigger and other days I feel like it hasn't changed much in the past few weeks. I regret not being more diligent about taking photos of my belly every week, it would have been nice to create a slideshow at the end of my pregnancy to really capture my growth; oh well, better late than never I guess!<br />

My laziness has hit an all time high this week, making me
not want to cook at all so I ordered takeout from Cozy Noodles, a Thai
restaurant. <a href="http://www.cozychicago.com/noodle/">http://www.cozychicago.com/noodle/ </a>Funny that I haven't craved Thai at all during my pregnancy, maybe
even had an aversion to it but that suddenly disappeared this week. The food was okay, I'll probably try another Thai place next time. The crab rangoon was crispy, which I like, but there was barely any crab or cream cheese filling. The vegetarian egg rolls on the other hand were simple yet tasty.</div>

I went to JoAnn Fabrics to pick up the necessary supplies to make this super cute Peeps Wreath I found on Mama Pea's blog. Now mind you I haven't done anything crafty since high school and that was only scrap booking, which is a pretty easy hobby. Here's the link to the wreath I made:<br />
<a href="http://peasandthankyou.com/">http://peasandthankyou.com/</a><br />
I know don't have any kids yet but I swear, I felt compelled to make this my darn self! Like most people I know, I hate the way peeps taste and yes, I find this a bit unfortunate because those buggers are so cute it <i>almost</i> makes me want to eat one every time the Easter season rolls around. As if I need to remind myself every year that BLEGH, they are super gross!<br />
Anyway, back to the craft. I'm confused as to how MP and her kids made a cuter and more organized wreath than a grown adult (ME) because sadly to say, mine didn't turn out as great as hers.<br />

I spent the better part of my morning walking around Jo-Ann fabrics because<br />
1.) I couldn't find anything in that gigantic store and there weren't many sales associates around.<br />
2.) I forgot how much fun it is to browse all the do-it-yourself crafts.. this could get dangerous..<br />
3.) There was a 60% sale going on and I picked up some<b> necessary</b> Easter decorations for next year (Shh.. don't tell the hubby!)<br />

Back to last night, we tried out a new pizza joint for dinner called Spacca Napoli in the Ravenswood neighborhood. We found this place by chance when browsing through our stack of $10 off cards. </div>

Our starter was this seafood salad with poached calamari, cuttlefish, shrimp, celery, kalamata olives, with lemon and olive oil, which was fresh and plentiful but we both agreed that it didn't have any flavor. Well...flavor besides just the freshness of the seafood. I was thinking maybe they could have used more flavorful olive oil? Just a thought.<br />

T had the <span class="verdbd12">Funghi e Salsicci that included mozzarella, basil, mushrooms, and Italian sausage. I didn't take a slice of his because I wasn't in the mood for all those muddled flavors- and by muddled I mean the Italian sausage!</span><br />

I was craving something more simple so I had the Bufalina pizza with basil, and buffalo mozzarella. The pizza was tasty and reminiscent of those I had in London but my only problem with it was that there was too thick of a crust and not enough pizza! In my book, it's okay to have a thick crust if it actually tastes like something other than bread but it's not okay if it doesn't and just takes up all this precious space.

Our morning omelet this morning that T made using our leftover bibimbap from this weekend. I told him after today it is time to throw that bad boy out! I have a policy of keeping leftover food for over 5 days.. yucky!!<br />

"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers."<br />-- <strong>1 John 3:16 NIV</strong></div>FoodieintheUKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12054600970839672577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926469163676613750.post-70117508276666486372012-04-04T19:21:00.002-07:002012-04-04T19:21:41.794-07:00Week 32Our life is slowly returning back to normal because T has finally started work! He's been off since January and he couldn't start his new job til he could clear some conflicts with his previous job. It's been a good week so far. I've been getting up early with the hubby to eat breakfast w. him and then drive him to work. We're taking advantage of the time we have before the baby comes because I don't think I'll be able to drive him to work when G is here. It's also fun for me to venture downtown in the morning as it brings back good memories myself of working downtown. Funny enough, I actually loved working in the city and I loved being apart of the working crowd, sigh.. memories :) Anyways, once I drop him off, I usually get in the habit of reading in bed, falling back asleep til noon, making myself lunch, taking Sonoma to the park, and then reading my book some more. I'm in the middle of a crazy trilogy so I've been reading about 4 hours a day! I'm sure once I'm done reading, I'll find myself once again obsessing over getting ready for the baby. I've already washed most of his clothes and receiving blankets we received from our shower. Fun times!!<br />

Back to eating. I've been on such a frozen foods kick lately that I thought I would break the habit and buy some more fresh foods for the week. Dinner last night was thinly sliced chicken breast with Famous Dave's seasoning, fresh oven baked asparagus and mac n cheese. The asparagus was seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic pepper and EVOO. <br />

Lunch today was pork tenderloin with steak sauce, leftover mac n cheese, sweet potato (microwaved for 6 minutes and seasoned with cinnamon and maple syrup- YUUM!!!), and zucchini and mushrooms sauteed in siracha, sesame oil, soy sauce, and garlic powder. The pork tenderloin was prepared with Evoo, salt, and pepper and oven baked for 15 minutes. <br />

<u>Musings</u><br />
Little G's movements have been pretty unpredictable since I turned 28 weeks. I hadn't felt him much on a regular basis since turning 28 weeks but once I hit that mark, and the third trimester, it's as if he woke up from a long nap and really started to make his presence known. Often times it's as if he's punching or kicking me, which doesn't hurt at all but is quite amusing. I can feel what appears to be his little hand or feet and if I press on it slightly, he'll move it somewhere else.<br />
<br />
As most baby websites say, I've definitely noticed a pattern in his movements. He'll move near the time I wake up, usually 7-8:30 ish and then at night from 9pm on. He hasn't kept me up in the middle of the night, thank God! I also can often see my belly move from the outside and feeling his bigger movements is really mind blowingly awesome. It's just a reminder that there is a little being inside me and it is so surreal! The most frustrating thing about his movements is that whenever I bring someone to my belly to feel him moving, he stops moving completely or does this pathetic one tap thing and doesn't ever continue!! And of course, as if on cue, he continues when the person walks away. What a stubborn little bugger! oh and he must also be psychic because he's moving a crazy ton now as we speak :-)<br />
<br />
<u>Eating</u><br />
I've been eating a ton more sweets than usual. Take today for example, oh and yesterday, I had a vanilla and chocolate ice cream cone after lunch and need something sweet usually after every meal (except breakfast).<br />
<br />
Still getting full pretty quickly but I notice I'm eating a lot more than my second trimester.<br />
<br />
<u>Weight gain </u><br />
I've gained about 20 pounds so far and I plan to gain about 10 more. My feelings about weight gain are really minimal since I know it's all for the baby, and as cliche as that sounds it couldn't be more true! <br />
<br />
<u>Things purchased</u><br />
Lots of baby toys, swaddles, teether<br />

T was able to get off early today from work so we made use of a Groupon he bought for Las Palmas.<a href="http://laspalmaschicago.com/"> http://laspalmaschicago.com/</a> We've eaten there once and were really impressed with their take on gourmet Mexican food and tonight's dining experience was equally as good and yummy!<br />

My brother seriously thought at first that the car ride did damage to the cake and the giraffe happened to get a piece of tree in his mouth! We later realized on both sides that the giraffe was eating the tree on purpose- totally cute!!<br />

It was called Great Expectations and it was all about what to expect when you're about to give birth; what the different phases of labor will be like, how to time your contractions, where to park your car, what to bring to the hospital, and your different birthing options.<br />
<br />
The RN who led the class was a witty Australian woman that made a 6 hour class seem like 3. She also knew so much about pregnancy and labor that I thought she was a doctor at first. In between discussions, we watched two videos; the first video showed three women giving birth naturally and the second was a woman who requested an epidural. It's really interesting how different your labor experience can be, depending on which route you choose to take. I've heard that most women who get an epidural these days don't really feel any pain, just a lot of pressure and those that go natural...well that's a whole other story!<br />
<br />
All but two women (there were 20 couples or so), me included are wanting to "try" going the natural route. I was a bit surprised at how many were firmly decided on getting an epidural. I thought at least more people would be open to the other option, but I guess not! But after seeing the videos today, I'm rethinking this whole "try" natural thing. I always had in mind that using an epidural would take away from the experience of labor, but really, what would it be taking away? The excruciating pain so you can actually enjoy the process of giving birth? That doesn't sound too bad to me! I feel like having some medication, as long as there are no complications seems to be the more favorable option, at least for me. The only reason I'm leaving it open is because I don't know what my pain threshold will be like and I don't like eliminating a possibility without knowing all the facts.<br />

I ordered the Dutch burger which came on a pretzel roll and had applewood smoked bacon, caramelised onions, and some sort of cheese I forgot the name of. I couldn't finish the burger but it was pretty tasty!</div>

We made it back home in time yesterday for my 30 week appointment. I'm starting to rotate doctors now so that I can meet everyone just in case my regular doctor isn't available when I go into labor. The appointment was super short with her only taking my belly measurement and listening to the heartbeat. She asked if I had any questions and honestly, I didn't! I'm hoping these next 10 weeks go by quickly because I can't wait for the lil guy to get here!! <br />
<br />
For lunch today, we had homemade chicken caesar salad with cranberries, red peppers, chicken, croutons, and red wine vinegar dressing. <br />

Cemitas Pueblas, a Mexican restaurant and Pequods, a deep dish pizza joint.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our first stop at Cemitas Pueblas for lunch was in the
Humboldt Park neighbourhood. We found out about this restaurant through one of
our dining cards we purchased that allows us discounts at 30 restaurants for
lunch and dinner. Apparently, this Mexican joint was featured on Guy’s Diners,
Drive Ins, and Dives, which I occasionally watch but didn’t happen to catch
this one episode.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
When we first walked in, a really friendly man, presumably the owner greeted us and gave us a rundown about what we were there for; the
sandwich featured on Guy's show and literally said this is what we should eat. He was pretty cute It’s
a real casual restaurant with many locals and other first timers alike. You
order from the counter and they bring you out the food very quickly.<br />
<br />
We ordered what the owner recommended which was the Cemitas, a sesame seeded sandwich with avocado, chipotle peppers, Mexican cheese, and your choice of meat (ours was carne asada). The sandwich was delicious and surprisingly very filling- I only ate one half!!<br />

My brother and gf came to visit us and we went to dinner at Pequods, a pizza restaurant in Lincoln Park. The place was super packed with lots of people there watching either the Blackhawks game (it's a home bar for the team) or the NCAA tournament (don't remind me Mizzou lost!!!). Even though we made a reservation for 9, we weren't seated til 9:40. We were able to put in the order right as we arrived so that we didn't have to wait too long when we were seated. <br />

We're back from LA and I've got a bunch of photos to upload! On Monday, we spent the day doing touristy stuff such as the Hollywood walk of fame, Chinese theatre with the handprints, and walking by the Kodak theatre where the Oscars are held. We would have gone inside but stupidly, we parked in a one hour parking zone and had to rush back back to our car. <br />

There were a ton of tourists, as expected at the Chinese Grauman theatre with everyone looking for their favorite handprint. I wasn't too enthused about finding a specific person as I was just taking some pictures of whoever I stepped on. <br />

We met a friend of T's at Soowon Galbi in Koreatown and were amazed at how HUGE Koreatown is and how many restaurants and businesses exist here. Apparently, you can move from Korea to the United States and not have to speak a lick of English- just move to K-town in LA!<br />

The food here was really authentic, flavorful, and the service is excellent, once you get seated of course. A heads up, you are pretty much ignored til you get seated at your table, and that might take a while even WITH reservations!! </div>FoodieintheUKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12054600970839672577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926469163676613750.post-70052466160844680382012-03-12T13:51:00.001-07:002012-03-16T13:22:47.925-07:00Matsuhisa<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

We recently had this Bird's Eye Chicken Florentine for dinner and it wasn't as good as the other packaged meals that we've been eating lately like Bertolli's. It was a bit veggie heavy, which I usually like but there's something about a super healthy tasting meal that doesn't satisfy. Oh well!<br />

This afternoon, I was in the mood for a good bowl of Asian noodle soup so I suggested going to the <a href="http://bellyshack.com/">Belly Shack</a> without really knowing that they would have what I was looking for. We've been to owner Bill Kim's sister restaurant <a href="http://urbanbellychicago.com/">Urban Belly </a>that has soup on the menu so I only assumed this one would too but I was WRONG!!</div>

Today was my 28 week check up appointment and I had to do the dreaded glucose drink test. Okay, so I'm not sure why its so dreaded, but I always heard from people and pregnant bloggers alike that it isn't that much fun to do. So the deal is, they make you a drink a sugary orange drink within 5 minutes, which isn't that bad BTW, and you wait an hour with no food or drink and then have your blood drawn. I almost forgot after a minute that I couldn't even drink water! No bueno :( Here's more info on why this is done: <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/0_glucose-screening-and-glucose-tolerance-tests_1483.bc">http://www.babycenter.com/0_glucose-screening-and-glucose-tolerance-tests_1483.bc</a></div>

Thankfully my hour passed quickly with the help of a couple magazines and some face time with my doctor who gave me info on what will happen in the next couple of weeks. I left the office armed with information on recommended pediatricians, expectant parent classes, and registration for the hospital we'll be delivering at. After this 28 week mark (hello 3rd trimester!), I'll be seeing my doctor every 2 weeks as opposed to every few months in the beginning trimesters. It won't be too long now!</div>

This morning, we took Sonoma to the dog park, with me being
reluctant the entire time. It’s not that I don’t want her to socialize with
other dogs; I get nervous about how she’ll react with them. While we were in
London, she became extremely aggressive, growling and trying to bite other dogs when they would typically just want to approach her to say hello. Anyways, since then, I haven’t
wanted to take her to our nearby dog park. I usually walk right past it,
stopping only occasionally to wistfully look in. Today I
felt a tad bit more emboldened because T had taken her in while jogging yesterday and she had *surprisingly!* gotten along with most of the dogs. Hearing this
story, I was filled with so much hope and joy that I wanted to take her again
today to see for my own eyes. I seriously love my pup too much!</div>

You can't see her but she did so well! We only had to pull
her away once when she started becoming too aggressive. T suggested that she
did so much much better because she didn’t need to display her dominance over
this pack since there were so many other bigger (and badder) dogs to contend
with. She rightfully knew her place and went about her business of trying to
get other dogs to play with her. I did feel kinda bad since no doggy friend
seemed to take much interest in her; of course, I want my <span style="background: yellow;"><span style="background-attachment: scroll; background-position-x: 0%; background-position-y: 0%;">lil</span></span> girl to have friends!! :-)</div>

I had spoken up about my desire to eat some more meat, so T made us steak sandwiches for dinner the other night. Ingredients: rib eye steak, mushrooms sauteed in Italian seasonings, lettuce, cheese, and ketchup.<br />

Shhhh... I ate "real" sushi for the first time during my pregnancy and it was oooohh so good, but I felt really guilty afterwards so I don't think I'll be doing it again until the babes is out.<br />

On Wednesday night, we went out to celebrate my brother's completion of the Illinois bar exam- whoop whoop! T chose to take him to <a href="http://www.gyu-kaku.com/il/chicago.htm">Gyu-Kaku</a> in Chicago, a <strike>Korean influenced</strike> Japanese "do it yourself" bbq restaurant. Gyu-Kaku is clever and they use a smokeless roaster which doesn't make your clothes reek of what you ate on the way out. Score!<br />

I bought these two plush animals for our nursery and Sonoma instantly thought they were her toys! I had to move the animals to the top shelf so she would understand that they were "no touch!" toys.<br />

We had a lovely lunch date with my friend and her 6mth old babes yesterday. She is a total model child and a real cutie to boot! But seriously, who am I kidding, I'm sure she wasn't always this perfect, barely crying baby. <br />

Strolling around the Bucktown neighborhood, we ended up at <a href="http://feastrestaurant.com/html/menus/bucktown/BT_dinner.php">Feast</a> for brunch. I tried getting into the <a href="http://thebongoroom.com/" target="_blank">Bongo Room</a>, but like always, it was fully booked and a table wouldn't be ready for us for over an hour!! W.T. Funk! You may have won this round Bongo, but I'll be back!! Feast is extremely kid friendly (kids and parents everywhere I looked) and has delicious food options but the only downside I found was that it is super loud every time I've dined there. <br />

the Graco compatible BOB car seat adapter was also very easy to install once viewing an online video. T found that most of the manuals were pretty shit to understand, and that's saying a lot since he's extra good at deciphering manuals! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35QwJhH7Z18">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35QwJhH7Z18</a>. The reason we needed the adapter is because an infant can't be placed directly into the stroller, at least not until he's 8 weeks old. We figured we will probably want to make use of our stroller before then so we bought the car seat adapter which fit with our Graco Infant Snug Ride 35 we purchased. Best purchases ever!!</div>

I was a bit nervous because it was a beginners/intermediate class and I was afraid of running into two problems<br />
1.) the beginner's class was going to be too easy<br />
2.) I didn't want people to think I wanted to join the beginner's class to show off or anything<br />
<br />
Side note- I would go to the advance class to challenge myself but I think it would be unfair to those that would be uncomfortable with me being pregnant and I really wouldn't want to stand in their way. Also, I will get bigger and I'm sure my balance will get thrown off so the vision of me trying to learn advance moves in that state is a bit scary! <br />
<br />
Thankfully, the B/I class seemed like a good fit for now. I think I'll stick with this class for now and then after baby switch to advanced. <br />
<br />
After salsa, T and I had some Chinese delivery- I had a <strike>lot</strike> little bit of everything plus I'm still on my quest to find the biggest, yet crispy eggroll! This was a yummy plate of food, and definitely better than what we ate in Rockford- yippee! We're still planning on trying out different Chinese deliveries since we have others to choose from. <br />

The rice was really flavorful and delicious, kinda reminding me of Persian rice but the meat was a bit tough and I ended up getting rice all over myself and the floor while trying to cut into the meat. I swear one of the waitresses gave the floor a stink eye when she saw my mess- oops!! :-). I would definitely go back to Babylon for lunch! (if they let me back in, ha!)<br />

This morning, I did a bit of home cleaning in preparation for my friend and her baby coming over and I had my first fruit smoothie in my Vitamix. I found out my Vitamix works so much better in the U.S. which I'm extremely happy about. I think it had something to do with the transformer we were running the wire through which wasn't giving enough power to blend properly. <br />

Minus the few naps here and there, I've generally had the energy to join the real world. I'm starting the third trimester next week so we'll see how long this energy lasts!<br />

-cravings for pop tarts, soda <br />
-I've felt really strong movements by the babes, even if I haven't felt him all that frequently. He tends to move when I'm sitting or lying down and I cradle my stomach. As soon as I do this, he gives me a hard punch or kick to signal his presence.<br />
-lots of afternoon naps- I feel pretty good in the morning but my mid afternoon, my energy starts to dwindle and I need an hour nap<br />
-2 workouts (zumba both times if you count today)<br />
-I think the baby is sitting right above my pelvic area because I feel this dull, and sometimes annoying pressure on my lower belly. Pretty annoying!! <br />
<br />
On to other things besides baby.... <br />

I found a new salsa dance studio in Chicago that I'm going to call home. After researching multiple places, I found this place to be the most affordable and closest to home. The classes are held everyday in the afternoon and evening, depending on what class you sign up for. I signed up for a $150 VIP card which gives me access to any class; it's $7 for any afternoon class with Miguel and $12 for evening and weekend classes with him and other instructors. I doubt I'll be able to continue dancing for much longer, maybe 1 more month max, but I'm just grateful I haven't lost my center of gravity! <br />

This past Tuesday, we went to our Restaurant Week dinner
reservation at<a href="http://www.bokachicago.com/" target="_blank"> Boka</a>.
Even though the menu looked delicious on paper, I wasn't particularly wowed by any
of the flavor combinations used. I would still probably rate the restaurant a B+ for its solidly good food and service. </div>

This morning, I did something I haven't done in 5 months.... I went to the
gym!!! Craziness! :-) I did my first love, Zumba, and it felt so good to be
back in the gym!! The instructor actually approached me during the class, asked
me if I was okay, and said if I needed any modifications to ask her. Thankfully,
I have enough experience with Zumba and my body that I was able to take it down
a notch on my own. Watching all the ladies go at it hardcore really made me
miss how my body used to be able to do things higher impact, but I have to
remember the reason why I'm doing this in the first place. After the class, I
spoke with the instructor and she said she taught Zumba until she was 8 months
preggos! Hopefully, I don't get too uncomfortable these last 3 months that I can go to the gym regularly. I think my goal is to go in at least 3-4 times a week. Oh yea, and the gym we joined is
XSport Fitness. There are several pros and cons to the gym I'm already
spotting.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<b>Pro:</b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
1.) parking lot</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
2.) huge cardio section with lots of machines</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
3.) all you want and need stationary weight machines</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
4.) variety of group classes </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
5.) super affordable children's area- you can drop off your kid from
6mths-12 years for $1 per hour or $10 per month!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
6.) spa and tanning area, rock climbing wall, basketball court, swimming
pool w. whirlpool and sauna </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
7.) 24 hours- although I don't see myself really taking advantage of this!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
8.) affordable monthly rate </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<b>Con:</b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
1.) no stretch area- you can use the studio exercise rooms though whenever a
class isn't in session)</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
2.) really crowded- maybe I'll just have to find the right time to go when
it isn't extra crowded </div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
3.) limited smaller free weights section (for gals like me who don't lift to
get big or go home!)</div>

<strike>We</strike>, I mean Tarek and my mom spent the weekend tackling the living room, basement, and upstairs rooms, which consisted of organizing all the cords, knick knacks, and papers lying around the house. I put away most of my stuff the first two days we moved in and now I'm just waiting for some storage containers to arrive so I can put away the rest of the stuff I don't need right this minute such as study materials and books. We're still pluggin along though!</div>

Friday night's dinner was some broiled, baked, and grilled chicken with some rice and beans, potato salad, and salad. We had a bit of trouble with our fire alarm while T made dinner and I swear it went off 3 times before we finally decided to stop using the oven and just finish off the chicken on the stove. Yet again we have a really sensitive fire alarm!! Blergh.<br />
<br />
On Saturday, we stopped by my favorite chicken spot in Chicago (favorite being I've eaten there only 3 times, hehe) called Crisp and then ran a couple errands. <br />
