I found that I am pregnant in December. The expected date is 5th August, 2000. Arthur and I are very excited about the coming of the baby. This is our first baby and we are not certain what to be prepared. Luckily we have many good friends who have given us much advice.

My life now is like that of a pig as I always feel tired. Everyday I come back afterschool, I have to sleep for awhile before the dinner. Besides, I always feel hungry. My day is just full of zzzzzzzzzz and food. (written in February, 2000)

I am now 25-week pregnant. My life is still like that of a pig -- sleep and eat. I can feel the movement of the baby. It is very funny. It moves sometimes when I sing, play computer games or touch the tummy.

I have started to buy clothes, toys, .... for my baby. It is an exciting job. The clothes are cute and soft. I am not sure whether the baby can really know how cute its clothes and toys are. At least, its parents like them very much. Its mother -- me -- feel very excited and happy whenever I look at those things.

It is becoming more and more difficult to go to school as I have to climb up several floors everyday. The wealther is getting hot. All my hair and clothes get wet when I reach the staffroom. Luckily some lovely students always help me to take the handbag when they meet me on the way to school. (written in May, 2000)

I am now 32-week pregnant. I have to control my diet carefully as the sugar level in my blood is a bit high. Luckily, my weight and blood pressure are normal.

The baby is very active, especially at night. Its size is so big that I cannot eat much now. The doctor told me that it is probably a boy. Maybe he is as sportive as me and practising boxing in my tummy.

I have attended as many seminars about baby caring and breast feeding as possible. I believe that breast feeding is good to the baby, but the environment in Hong Kong is still not favourable for breast feeding in public area. As a working woman, it is really difficult to breast feed after going back to work. Whatever how difficult it is, I will try my very best.(written in June, 2000)

I am now 38-week pregnant and having my summer holiday. The wealther is so hot that I seldom go out. It is quite boring to stay at home as my husband does not want me to go out alone. Some of my best friends have gone overseas for their holiday. I really miss them much.

In less than two-week time, my life will have a big change. I am excited but also nervous about the challenge. I am a teacher and know that raising a child is not an easy job, especially in Hong Kong. Some companies have already approched me to promote their products, e.g. English learning kits, toys, milk powder, ...etc. This really makes me nervous. I want to give the best things to my child, but what is the best? God knows! Every child is different. The best thing for one child may not be the best for another child. However, my busband and I will try our very best to face this coming challenge. (written in July, 2000)
