Can you say Jamba!

In the past weeks, Huili has found a new love, Jamba Juice. As you can see, she is not happy to see me but very happy with this new love, Acai Berry with Heart Health boost! This week Huili is 13 weeks and 3 days. She still feel bad but I can see the difference little by day of getting better.

Being married, we learn to express love for each other by knowing and doing things that our spouse like and appreciate. Recently, I was impressed with Huili going with me into Genki Sushi (knowing she won't eat sushi). Huili's favorite food above all else is Sashimi and she say that the biggest challenge with Pregnancy is not so much the journey, its not able to eat the food she loves for almost a year! I appreciate and love her for being there with me as I grind :-)

Baby at 12 weeks (model)

I want to share a picture I got from the Internet that gives an idea of how big a 12 week baby size is like.

Must Need Food

Today our baby makes 12 weeks! This week the book say the fetus is in need for Calcium for the development of bones and teeth. I am glad our products got here yesterday for Huili's nutrition. We only use the best Nutrilite. I will take no chance for not having the best. For this week, I realize the importance of food. What I got from this new experience is making sure that food is always home and for Huili to NEVER get hungry. Huili has a bad thing about gastric pain, it comes when she feels hungry (every 2 hours!) including with the pregnancy going on.

As in picture one, Huili is eating a daily dose of fruits (how cute), second shows how pregnancy can play tricks with your cravings, she usually don't like Mexican food but so far I can't count the times we ate Mexican. Latest cravings, cold Jamba juice. Huili really like the Achai with Heart Happy boost (of course, the biggest size possible when can). Sometimes I have to ask for a sip because she can make it gone in seconds! As this third photo shows, Huili is happy. Last photo was taken today outside our home. I got to play with this new software on my iPhone of editing the photo colors, she looks adorable.

Regarding the food, six to eight weeks was more of food smell and sight she don't like at all. Currently its more of things she wants. One good budget thing is she don't want sweets and meaty meals. She wants more of fruits and veggies and that is ok with me because its cheaper and healthy for all of us to eat this way. Well ohana, its way past my nappy time, I have a mens bible study in the morning. ALOHA!

Feeling the L-O-V- E

This photo gives a person who has not experience pregnancy a good idea what may lay ahead for the first 12 weeks of the journey. I pray to God to have this sickness end by the second trimester for Huili. I really understand the famous saying "happy wife, happy life!" I could not appreciate that truth any more.

I hear from others who has gone though pregnancy that who had sickness all during pregnancy and after ;-P Please GOD, not me!

One key factor to note in this first trimester, ALWAYS have food accessible to eat. I am finding myself of to keep watching the ultra sound video to help me focus in my attitude and reason for what I do daily. It is really easy to loose it after a few weeks in this stage. I pray to God to always give me the will to love, serve and be strong.

I really feel the continue uncomfortable feeling Huili is going through. I appreciate the person she is and what she is enduring.

Video of Ultra Sound 10W5D, Kona Hawaii

Let me introduce to you all the little bun in the oven that is giving mom all her sickness!

I must say, when I seen the first ultra sound at 6 weeks, I could hardly believe my sight of the little heart pumping like crazy. This time at 10 weeks, it has really takes my breath away as I see this baby kicks and moves its arms, its so cooool!! :-)
