There's been siting of a couple of wild turkeys wondering around in Hercules, and this one has been circling around our place every once awhile. See Alex there taking shots of the bird. This one isn't afraid of alex at all.

A day out in the park
the three of us and alex's mom strolled along golden gate park last weekend. The day was so nice, and Nicky was being very cooperative in general.
It was a very nice day indeed.

Life, who's in control?
Until now, I always had believed that one controls his/her own lifestyle and destiny. If there's one thing that is imprinted into my heart since my stay in the states, is that I get to choose how to live and thrive. No fortune teller telling me what and who I am. No one to restrain me to follow my dreams.
I am who I am
as long as I play responsibly.
I don't feel like I'm in that situation anymore. things don't always turn out the way I want and I have no way to change it otherwise. My life, without going into the specifics, now has constrains, compromises, jealousy, frustration, and lack of time and sleep. All the buggies that I can't get rid of.
.. and I start have this ringing in my head.. argh..

Baby's two months old
Today felt like the longest day of my life. Nicky stepped into his two months, meaning my maternity leave has come to an end, and grandma started to take care of him today.
I've learned last couple months that many things were easier to said than to endure. I swear I can handle the pain of labor but end up screaming for epidural like a mad woman. I said I probably couldn't wait to get back to work by two months and now I experience great sense of lost.
Hubby had given me the greatest gift that I was able to stay with Nicky to bond and love the first two months of his life without interference by others. I cherished and cherished every seconds of this two months like life ends at the end of the path. Perhaps it is my fault that I hold dear to these moments with such intensity that now it is so hard to let go. I can't hold on to the baby forever, but today when I'm not caring him, I felt a very intense sense of lost, every single seconds of it. And all I can do is grab my computer and hide behind it, pretending that I'm browsing the net and typing with my shaky fingers.
Babies don't wait for you, they dont wait for you to go to bathroom when they decide to eat. They don't stop changing, growing, learning, so you better keep up. They don't hold still in time, no matter how hard to hug them. Time flies, it flew so quickly it terrifies me.
Until today last 9 months has been the happiest, memorable days of my life. No fear, no worries, just a lot of love. I might not have married the greatest dad in the world, but I married the greatest husband on the planet.
I'm scare, I feel lost, my heart hurts, and to top it off baby decide to cry like he never ever did before when I finally had a little time alone with him at night. I really feel like shit right now. (and probably why Nicky is crying too since he can sense my emotion)
I guess here is the true test of life, I need to be strong. Women now holds more than one role in modern life and I truely wants to continue to succeed in my career at the same time be a great mother and wife. For the first time in life, I truely understand why 24 hours a day is too short. Sleep should really postpond til death.
A new chapter has started, it involves letting go, it involves a lot of changes, it involves telling myself I can't do everything.
I'm so fucking scare.

My VERY FIRST Mother's Day!!
Yes, after waiting for 3 decades. I finally hop into the mommy wagon and tasted my very first mother's day. The feeling is simply wonderful, as the fact that I'm a mom really start kicking in!! A dream came true, and it is a beautiful one.
We didn't really celebrated Mother's Day per say. Partly because we were exhausted by the full day of going out the day before. (technically, we celebrated Mother's day a day ahead) We had dinner with my parents and my sis & sis-in-law. My mom was quite excited being Grandma!! (she doesn't say it, but you can see it all over her face!)
like what my hubby said, everyday is mother's day for me now. And I cherish every moments of them.
sweet!

Dadda? or Mamma?
So, who does Nicky look like? Now that he is almost 2 months old?
We can't tell by the looks for it, the census is split quite even between us two.
However, I do notice there are some characteristics that Nicky has picked up from dadda. For instance, they both talk in their sleep. They even response to each other when they sleep talk. Another thing is they both choke on food easily. Burps & farts endlessly.. and he really got alex's mouth. Soo cute! =)

a little update
1. So Cha-siu blog will be out completely. There's no point of getting Nicky his own blog, he is center of my attention already, keeping Cha-siu means leaving this blog behind.
2. I've been doing a lot of flickr since baby is born, so you will able to view Nicky's picture at:

and then... 6 months later..
Wow, has it been 6 months since I've post on this blog? I guess it has. 6 Months ago,it seems like it was just weeks ago, weather is nice, Hubby took me to Golden Gate Park and "wobble" around the lake. Nicky still inside my tummy, kicking me occasionally.
a little shy of 2 months from now. I was in the delivery room, screaming at the top of my lungs and threw up every bits of liquid in my stomach. And then I had Nicky, and a traumatized hubby.
now, with Nicky next to me, barely falling asleep, letting his body to grow stronger by the day, his character more appearance by the hour. He is no angel, but he is our little sweetheart.
it has been a quick 6 months, but it's the most amazing 6 months I've experienced.
love,
Amy Chu
