Globetrotter Chamu

For those of you who have been reading my blogs, you must have noticed how much little Chamu has been traveling since he settled in my womb. First was in September, Chamu toured charming Italy after attending a lovely wedding, then to cold London to meet with investors, and then to Taiwan for business trip. In October, he made it to Sipadan only to sleep and read for 6 days while waiting for Daddy to return from his dives. JoJoMAMI managed to escape all travel commitments for the next six weeks since she suffered greatly from morning sickness and constant fatigue caused by pregnancy. In late November, Chamu's world journey began again, with a trip to sunny LA. He got back to Hong Kong for 2 weeks and left again for Hawaii for Christmas and the New Year. He was brought back to Hong Kong for 3 days (and Mami managed to squeeze in an ultrasound in between) and boarded the plane to San Francisco again. And the journey continues, he was in SF for 6 days, in LA for 4 days, in Las Vegas for 3 days and then in NYC for 4 days. For the last 3 days, he is back in LA where weather is a lot warmer and less harsh than NYC but in 2 days he will be going to NYC again. Let's put it this way, if he had his own Marco Polo membership, he has already made his gold membership in less than two thirds of his way to full term.
Of course this is nothing to brag about. It is just crazy that JoJoMAMI has to put little Chamu through such a busy life. Hopefully, by the time we make it back to Hong Kong in ten days, we can finally rest and only worry about daily commute to Shenzhen. Luckily, every where we go, there are always lovely aunties and uncles who are eager to meet Chamu.
Chamu (and his mother)are growing rapidly under the great care of his daddy (Daddy travels with Mami like her little guardian angel). Mami dreads weighing herself because every time she steps on that scale, she seems to be a few pounds heavier (and she usually weighs herself quite often). Mami's belly is now looking like she is due next month than mere six months pregnant. Chamu is kicking a lot more since he has less and less room to move about and do his somersaults. Mami often stares at her own belly with amazement because it's hard to believe that her skin is THIS elastic. While she never really had an iron board tummy before but she still had some curves and waist to show off. But now, the tummy sticks out at least 2 inches more than her boobs (and these are the already enlarged boobs) at the rate Pinocchio's nose grows when he lies to his father and it does not seem to have any intention at all of slowing down. Man, and I have another 15 weeks to go...

Amazing also that JoJoMami has time to write the blog. Thank you.
Post some pictures ;-).
Looking forward to the next ultrasound and when later Baby Chamu's travels take him to Panama.
