So yesterday was a holiday in CHina - not sure what it was for but We'll take it!
Fun to have Chip home from work and get to do fun things!
First, I went to the Dr. for my 29 week checkup and diabetes test!
I am TERRIFIED of needles, drank the gross lick-a-stick tasting stuff, and then it went so smoothly I couldn't believe it! I was so anxious the whole way there in the cab and Rian was just laughing at me and asking if she could hold my hand. She is teh most chill friend I know and nothing phases her. I wish I was like her in so many ways!
She came in to distract me, since her apt. wasn't started yet either, and yet the nurse did SUCH a good job - in fact, the best blood draw i have ever experienced - I literally could not feel the needle even go into my arm, and before i knew it I was done.
Then, I met wiht Dr. Lee, a chinese lady who was so nice and sweet. I would be happy if she was my delivery Dr. She addressed my concerns checked me out, and everything looked great with baby boy #2! The best part also for me of the whole apt was finding out I had actually lost a little weight! Baby gets bigger, I get smaller - hmm...what could be better news?
(I still feel huge tho and getting more uncomfortable every day!)
While we were at the Dr. the husbands took our kids back to Chaoyang park where they had a blast renting a bike with the big basket on the front for teh two boys, and the rest on the back with Chip driving, and going all over the park, enjoying the rides, the bumper boats for little kids, and hot dogs on a stick! Cash apparently had a BLAST and Chip decided he wants to be a stay at home dad and I can go find a job! (if it was only fun and games every day daddy!:)
When we were finished Rian and I went off to the fabric market - WITHOUT KIDS!!!! The best experience and early mother's day present I could get! It was SO much fun! We walked around, found awesome fabrics for our projects, and just had a blast with no worries! I forget sometimes how is feels to not have a little one to worry about every second adn it was a great break!
Then we came home and chip went and got a massage! After we went to the market. Chip had a bone to pick with one of the sellers at the booths who told us something was real silk and we could bring it back if it wasn't. Well, it wasn't and so he took it back and she refused to give us our money back or give us better items - it turned into a HUGE scene, with her yelling at Chip, and then Chip standing there and telling everyone who came up that she was a liar and not bo buy from her because she would rip them off and sending all customers to other booths - it got so intense Cash and I went down to the 1st floor to get some shoes! Well, than I got a call from Chip saying 10 security guards had escorted him to the front place, he was explaining his plite, and I needed to come up and verify that she had in fact told us we could bring them back! Well, then he ended up talking them into just giving him some of the money back - but boy oh boy were they mad! However, we have had ENOUGH of the liars here, and he wasn't taking it - and i was glad - it was actually hilarious! They tried to say that in their country they are honest, which is the biggest farce ever, but the experience, even without getting what we actually wanted was so worth it - and then we got our otehr stuff and headed back to dinner with friends!
Overall, a fun experience once again and a great holiday!
