So as you may or may not have noticed, Mike and I have not been on Facebook. That's because Great Firewall of China has blocked our access to it. But to my surprise this morning, Blogger/Blogspot is no longer blocked! YAY! I have way to post stuff to the outside world! This just made my day. Now I just hope that China lets us keep this connection to my blog.
BTW, if you comment on this post via Facebook, we can't see it. To comment, please click on the link to the original post so that we can read it on blogspot. haha.

Bossy little thing
If you ask how me and the baby are, these past few days I would tell you that this baby's a bossy little thing.
Between 8AM ~ 9AM it does something that wakes me up, conveying to me in annoyance "Are you up yet?" Then at 10AM, 2PM, 5PM, and 8PM it scrunches up something in me and demands "Feed me!" And not just anything will do. Some things that I liked before taste like cardboard and I cannot take a second bite. If I guess right, then I can finish a whole plate and then some. It changes its preference often too. Buffalo wings were good one week, then the next it's cardboard. Worst was the day after we came back from Hong Kong and Shanghai. I had lots of tasty things all weekend long at both places, then I come back and nothing in our house satisfies the baby. "What is this you feed me? Where's the good stuff that I had all weekend? I am not pleased." it complains. I'm in front of the fridge the whole day trying to find food to appease the Oh So Bossy one.
Lately it has started to control when I go to bed as well. If I had a busy day, then around 11:30PM it pushes me around and won't stop until I lay down. On a light day it let's me stay up 'til 12:30. One night we had people over 'til 2AM, and around 1:30 it twisted everything in me and yelled "Woman! Go to bed!" I said a hasty goodnight to our guests and laid down quickly. It took a while before the baby was convinced that I came to bed.
And then today baby got bored and suddenly acted up. Pushed itself against something on my right side so hard it got my undivided attention. Nothing I said to it convinced it to stop pushing, so I got up and walked around but it didn't do the trick. I stood in front of the fridge but baby wasn't hungry. I complained to its father, telling him that his kid is a bully. He said "Sweet! Who'd he beat up? Did he get someone's lunch money?" When I whined he said that the kid's just strong and gave me a proud smiley face. *sigh* Poor me. In desperation I played some music, and all of a sudden the baby let go of the pressure and let me be in peace.
One of these days, I'm gonna show this kid who's boss. But I guess right now, baby's the boss since it's holding my internal organs hostage. 15 weeks down, 25 more to go.
