Baby Bump is born!

37 weeks + 4 days, muffin in hand, on the way to my appointment.

Weighing in at a whopping 150lbs, I waddled my way to (what I now know as) my last doctor’s appointment on Tuesday, January 2nd.

Pregnancy reveal to tha folks.

Real quick, I just want to rewind and document the pregnancy reveal to my family.

Gender, revealed!

I mentioned in my last post that I would be having another doctors visit soon, to do the 2nd trimester ultrasound scan. Well, it turns out in China (or in local hospitals, at least), they require you to be 22-25 weeks pregnant before you have this scan, whereas everywhere else in the world scans from 18-20 weeks. My theory is, the doctors want to wait until the last possible chance to scan (to prevent abortion) just in case the patient is able to guess the gender. Ive heard around 25 weeks is the latest you can have this procedure done, which is insane.   

Being pregnant in China.

Today, I am 20 weeks + 3 days pregnant. 20 weeks pregnant, living in Shanghai, China.

Moms & Pops visit China

Moms and Pops arrived in Shanghai in April of this year. After 2 1/2 years of living in the city, we finally got them to come visit. I think they were both pleasantly surprised with their experience! 🙂

Casie & Kristin’s Shanghai visit!

Casie and Kristin came to visit Shanghai in late October 2016.

Wilson/Barreth family visit <3

In July 2016, my Mimi, Ma, sister Alyssa, & brother Avery came to visit us in China! I never thought the day would come (and secretly I don’t think they ever expected us to stay long enough to justify a visit 😉
