I started a quilt project for Nathan two months ago. It is almost to the completion, still have some stitching to do. I’m very glad that I make the quilt because I thought it is very cute. I remember when I was shopping for the fabrics, almost everything I liked was pink in color and fabrics with flower motif. I had to remember that I was to make a quilt for a boy. Well, the quilt ended up with leaf motif instead of flower… I hope I could make something pink and with flower motif next time for my girl. Also, special thanks to my friends who have helped me to pick up the pattern, to shop for fabrics with me, and to teach me to make this quilt patiently. My next project is to finish up the bumper pads for the crib and the window treatment with the bear and sheep theme from the quilt. I had a good time making this quilt because maybe I know it’s making this for my son. Well, I don’t think a boy would appreciate a quilt very much, but still it’s special for me to make one for my son!

My GTT result is back. I dreaded myself to report the bad news, I guess nobody likes to hear bad news. I failed my test again. This time I’ll need to meet with a counselor to discuss on how to improve my diet. At least, we thank God that we discover it early so that we can be watchful of what we eat. So far, no medication or insulin shots are needed, well that’s a good news at least for me. We have not set up an appointment with the counselor yet, we still don’t know what other actions that needed to be taken. We really appreciate your prayer and support. You all have been so sweet to us. Andy has been very sweet in encouraging me when I was upset with the result of the test. He reminded me of the Daniel study that we’ve been doing. Remember the part when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s faiths were tested by throwing into the furnace. Even though this is not a death and life situation for me, I know that my faith is being tested. I like the verses in 1 Peter 1:6-7 “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” We know that Our God still deserve the praise and glory despite of our sickness, disease, hardship or any little circumstances that we go through everyday!

We had a great time at Silver Dollar City even though I was not able to participate on my rides (Actually I’m not fond of them at all even if I’m not pregnant). My feet were really hurting due to heavy walking and my increased weight. Probably you can tell from the pictures how pregnant I’m now. I’m about 30 weeks. We went to SDC with Baochuan and Jianpu and her parents, Dr. Niu and his friends. Andy and I wanted to go a cavern, unfortunately, we read from the board that pregnant is not recommended to go because of the structure of the cavern, hahah.. probably I’ll just stuck in between, or even the narrow, slippery paths in the cavern. Well, I thought then we can just ride on the train to enjoy the scenic ride of the SDC. But when it’s our turn to board the train, the person in charge told us that he has to stopped the train because the radar detected a storm coming to the town. Well, no more train ride for me. We went and walked another round of SDC, and decided to give the outlet mall a tour. So, we left SDC at 3:45pm and shopped at the outlet. Andy got himself 3 pieces of tops from Ralph Lauren. After eating dinner at A&W, we headed home. I was so exhausted by the home we got home. We just crashed into our dreamland…
