Time flies by so fast. Can't believe my baby girl is already 3-month-old! She is getting bigger everyday! She is almost 13 pounds now! My son, on the other hand, is turning 3-year-old soon! I am having a hard time carrying him around. He is so big now! He also talks a lot nowadays. He's a big fan of big trucks and trains. Our house has turned into his toy land! Of course, both my babies got a lot of toys this Christmas! They are so spoiled I know.

Doing Great

Trending November 12, 2021 0

It's been a while since I last updated my blog. I've been busy with my baby girl and restoring our house. There are so many leaves nonstop falling. My baby girl, on the other hand, is growing fast. She's not even two-month-old yet! She's already 9 lbs! Average 2-month girls weigh about 11 lbs, so she is doing great!

My girl was supposed to be born after Halloween, but she made it before Halloween. This year she got to dress up as daddy's little cheerleader.

My boy's first Halloween was in 2019. He dressed up as a sloth. Look! How cute he is!

I also made a memory book for the birth of my daughter and her experience at the NICU. Giving birth to her was quite an experience! Thanks to Mayo Clinic. Both of us are doing great!

The Zhan family is still expanding. We now have a family of 4. If we were to include our animals, we would have a family of 8! On the other hand, our 20 chickens are still alive! They are laying eggs for us every day. I came up with the idea of making waffle eggs. Each waffle egg takes three eggs to make!

Ok! That's it for this round! I will keep updating my blog! I guess it is good to record my memories. It starts to sound like the movie The Notebook. 😊

A Mayo Clinic Visit

Trending October 01, 2021 0

Don't even know where to start but I am so happy that I am still alive and well. Last Monday I was hospitalized for preeclampsia with severe features and the doctors said that I had to deliver the baby the following Monday. From last week till yesterday, I was on meds and had numerous iv injections on my arms. Checking my arms today, I have bruises everywhere. I can't believe this pregnancy got me into the operating room several times. The doctors here at Mayo Clinic were angels. They helped me to deliver my baby in 9 minutes with only 5 pushes before my placenta got ruptured. Then I experienced hemorrhage but the doctors here were quick at spotting the ruptured placenta and immediately took it out to stop the bleeding. I lost over 2 liters of blood and thanks goodness that Mayo Clinic has a great blood bank. I immediately got the right type of blood and the antibodies I needed to recover from the blood loss. What a week! My baby girl is staying at the Mayo Clinic's NICU receiving the best care she needs to grow outside the womb. It makes sense that Mayo Clinic is the best hospital in the world! It really saves lives.

Here are some more pictures of my baby Gabs.
