My little Princess - Too Cute Not to Post

I took these pictures with my cell phone so they aren't very big, but you get the idea of how spoiled she is! She really is the best little doggie in the whole world!
This is how we spend our days. . . sleeping surrounded with her toys. Enjoying the rug that we bought at Ikea, then took back due to all the 'shedding'. I'd have to sweep the floor everyday to keep up with it. Daisy was so sad to see it go. :(
I told you she was an angel! (It looks like she is glowing from the sun shining on her.)
Here she is enjoying the glider. (I had to take it out of Crew's room, as there was no room to glide.) Now Daisy can enjoy it as well, and I think I'll like having the TV for those late night feedings. . . :)

Chilli Crab mmmm....

Even before we moved here we were told we had to try Singapore's famous chilli crab. Well we've been here almost 6 months and we finally got around to trying it! Two weekends ago (I know it takes me forever to post anything!) while Nate was here from the home office, we ventured out to East Coast Park to find the best chilli crab. We were told that Jumbo was the spot. The verdict is in . . . and yes it was yummy! Here is our dinner right before we dug in. . . lol. Ok this isn't the exact crab we ate but the kill them right before they cook em up so they are FRESH! Can you guess which crab is the female and which is the male? The female is the larger crab. (Imagine that even in crabs the women get hosed!) But the male has larger claws with a larger portion of meat. Just a little crab 101 for ya'll.
This is the large female with the small front claws. The large oval bowl had the chilli crab the smaller one was the pepper crab. I liked the chilli crab much better. The pepper one was like eating an over-dose of straight pepper. The steamed rolls were so good dipping in the leftover chilli sauce. YUM! YUM! My mouth is watering right now!
Although eating chilli crab doesn't look too appealing it is delish! Jeremy's hands were covered in chilli sauce, and his mouth was slightly burning!
So was Nate!
Don't you love our bibs? The lady behind us thought we were such a cute and loving couple!
I was told that the chilli sauce was pretty spicy and it might induce my labor. . . no such luck. I am still 9 days away and counting. Which is fine, but if in 9 days I'm still counting, then I'll be pretty upset! Stay tuned and we'll keep you updated once he arrives.

Cats at the Esplande

Jeremy decided to take me out for a special night before the arrival of our little Crew. He surprised me with tickets (in one of the VIP boxes) to the musical Cats at the Esplande Theatre here in Singapore. It was a wonderful night and although we weren't completely sure what some of the songs were about, it was a terrific show. I'm glad that we were able to take advantage of our last precious moments of being childless, so we could have some quality one on one time together. I love you babe! Thanks for always taking such good care of me and spoiling me!
Outside the theatre. This is the building that is shaped like the fruit Durian. (If you are unsure what that is, refer to older posts. . . )
We're dressed up in our 'smart casual' (as they call it here) and ready for the show!
This is the inside of the Esplande as we were walking up to our VIP box. The structure reminded me of the bars on a roller coaster.
Jeremy is soooo excited for the show to start!
The inside of the theatre. It was a pretty amazing stage setup.
Especially when the lights went down!
Being in a VIP box had its perks. . . at the beginning of the show and during intermission, several of the cats came up to the box and got up close and personal . . .
And a little too close for comfort! The actor never strayed from her 'cat' persona, and she started scratching at my hair and my head, OUCH! Jeremy wanted to know why I always attract animals to me. . . dunno, maybe she knew I was actually a dog lover and a cat hater. . .
It was a great night that we both really enjoyed. Although the theatre felt a little too warm as we were both sunburned from too much pool time (not enough sunblock) earlier that day. Ahh year round sun exposure, gotta love it!

Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Any Bigger. . .

Whoa!!! It is so weird for me to look at how big my tummy is, especially considering how BIG I THOUGHT it was a month ago! It is just poppin out there and causing me many discomforts. I'd have to say the worst is trying to get off the bed to pee 4 times every night. I have figured that rolling off is easier than trying to sit up, but sometimes I can't stop the momentum and I practically fall on my face. Just a few more weeks to endure. . . I can handle that. . . at least I don't have heart burn all day, or feel like I'm going to dry heave everytime I bend over; Oh wait yes I have that too! Really I'm just glad that I have been healthy and that it has been a pretty smooth pregnancy. (I'm just praying that the labor and delivery will be as well! Is that too much to ask for???) I have been pretty lucky and I should stop complaining. At least now I know why pregnancy lasts 9 months instead of 8; I'm not longer terrified of labor, I'm just ready to get him out!
3 weeks and 2 days till due date.
We tried to get Daisy out of the picture this time, but it looks like we were unsuccessful! LOL! That little camera hog!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone. Although we are thousands of miles away from home, we had an enjoyable Easter together. As we watched General Conference, we were edified and uplifted listening to the messages from the prophet and his apostles. If you haven't done so already, take time to watch the following Easter video. It is very powerful and turns our focus to the true meaning of Easter and to Christ's atonement for each of us.
