☆2nd ‘Lil Bun in the Oven 二寶☆ 中文分享文滑左圖 We’re pregnant with baby #2 🎉 A’s going to be a big brother in Nov 2021 I know so many of you will message me and say “I knew it” 🤪 because I’ve previously mentioned I wasn’t feeling well and went MIA and some of you have already questioned me and I had to lie to some of you, sorry :P, but there are some personal reasons why I kept this pregnancy private until now, which I will share another day. I am actually already half way through my pregnancy at 22weeks! This pregnancy is so different from when I had A. A was an angel fetus. I didn’t have many complications, all I had was a bit of nausea at night but would just sleep it off and I n my 2nd trimester I was still hiking steep hills, doing all nighter flights and felt like me. This pregnancy on the other hand, I started showing 2 months in, had morning sickness, all day sickness, nausea, vomiting, any disgusting pregnancy symptom you name it. So for those that went through or are going through it, now I can finally say “I get you”. I currently hate the stairs in my house 🤣 Aside from all these boring pregnancy complaints I’m very blessed to be pregnant. I think A is taking the whole “being a big brother” thing more seriously now too, he enjoys listening to the belly even though he’s really just hearing my stomach gurgle, and then he’ll giggle afterwards, its the cutest thing! But I’m still unsure if he really gets it as he’s only met a “baby” in real life a handful of times. So this is the big news! With all this said, there is so much more for me to learn and battle through with this new stage in life, but I’m definitely excited! #teenymunchies #journalentry #pregnancyjournal #pregnantmom #pregnantbelly #kodakmoment #bigbrother #torontomomblog #torontomoms #iampregnant #育兒 #媽媽角度 #二寶媽 #懷孕日記 #新手媽媽 #台灣媽媽 #育兒經 #育兒生活

這是我2014遊歐時某一天的日記，我很喜歡。 #照片是當年的一點收藏  -   [pioneer]  早上在hostel遇到一位湖南籍在美國加州教工程學的女士，她說她60歲了。 來德國做交換教授3個月，想在回美國前自己旅行一個星期。  「你看起來很年輕」 「因為我的心很年輕」  她說她最喜歡和學生在一起，她說在學生身上得到很多養分和勇氣，知道自己的膝蓋要不行了所以想趁現在趕快experience the world  「最棒的就是和世界各地的人對話，especially locals，然後和家人朋友分享。我昨天就在樓下廚房遇到一個身穿聖誕裝的人在洗很多銅板，他是在街頭吹泡泡的」 「you earned a lot today! 」  他們開始聊天，才發現原來他其實也是學工程的，當工程師賺了很多錢，但常常沒有時間陪妻小，所以決定辭職，開始當起街頭藝人。  「how do you deal with those people who look down on you （on those street performers)?」 「I don't know actually. It does happen. Just face it and keep doing your work. We are the one who give happiness, I think I receive more from the audience.」  她分享故事給我聽，稱讚我年輕就雙主修還一個人旅行很厲害，我說我只是因為很多朋友也旅行，所以想要嘗試看看，我並不厲害，我試著學習和自己相處，體驗世界的同時傾聽自己的聲音然後思考，我還是會害怕，還是不知道自己的未來在哪，還是常常徬徨不安。  「You are all pioneers. Your friends made you travel today. And you also gonna sow seeds afterwards. You will be different; you will influence somebody someday. 你還年輕，你現在也許和同年齡的大家站在差不多的位置，在我看來，you've already aimed at high target. I can see your angle.我不知道怎麼用中文表達，就像是你的瞄準角度很大，將來會往高處的地方去。」  我一直說謝謝，從來都不覺得自己有什麼好，聽完這番話覺得很感動。 即便我還是我，還是那個不知道未來在哪但努力嘗試一人遊歐洲的我，I feel something change in me after this talking.也許多了一點點自信，也許多了一點要影響別人的使命感。  想起前幾天看到的TED影片，就算再怎麼沒自信，再怎麼覺得自己不配待在哪裡有著怎樣的位置，你也要假裝自己可以，假裝無所畏懼，直到你真的變成那樣的那一天。  Fake it till you become it. Yes, I will fake it till I truly become the pioneer and influence somebody one day.   #雖然六年後不是pioneer不是想像中的樣子 #但已理解影響不分大小 #覺得自己很棒❤️
