Tea Party for two!

I feel so relieved I can finally say the reason of why I've felt so miserable/overjoyed these past 3 months. I am pregnant again with Baby #2!! I have been so nauseous, tired, exhausted and vomiting. This has made it very hard pregnancy as I have felt like I'm on a boat constantly! But now as I'm almost in my second trimester, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I still have some of the symptoms, but not nearly as bad as the past 3 months.

I found out I was pregnant at work. I wanted to "rule it out" because I thought I was getting dizzy due to the stress and maybe another medical condition. I was not expecting it so soon, but Enoch and I were praying for God to guide us for a good time to expand our family. After the amazement about the power of God, I felt so overjoyed that I was going to be mommy again. And this time it is extra special because I get to share it with my Melany. I told Enoch a day before Christmas Eve. He was equally surprised but very happy!

I took some photos of Melany today to announce this pregnancy. Melany insisted her "Baby" join in the photos. She is going to be a great big sister!

Enoch's 30th birthday party!

Enoch turned 30 on February 5th (Wednesday) but him and I went to work that day. We went to dinner after work but I was not feeling well and it was really cold so it was somewhat uneventful. I couldn't let another 2 years go by without celebrating his birthday. And 30 is a pretty nice year to celebrate! On Saturday, we invited our good friends the Blomes, Lota, Secors, Daviss and Brielyn to celebrate this special occasion. We've been wanting to have all of them together since we've invited every family individually to dinner but never all together.

I attempted to pull a Martha Stewart and prepare/buy the best dishes based Enoch's likes. We had BBQ beef ribs, baked Lemon/Pepper Chicken, Potato Salad, fried rice, home made Guacamole and Salsa. And last but not least, I bought him a cake from Cold Stone. It was delish! Enoch and I had a great time laughing and enjoying in good company. The kids had fun too! Our play room downstairs was a hit!

I was happy to host and prepare this party for Enoch. He is so giving to our family and always doing good to others. Just before the party, he had been helping families with home repairs after natural disasters struck their homes. He just received a recognition at work for developing a new way do do research.Of course, he won't tell anyone as he is always trying to stay on the down low. But I, being the proud wife don't mind sharing:) We love you Enoch!
