Last bike ride until baby?

Rode bike to library but was a bit hesitant because I was feeling cramp like in my belly for the first time during my pregnancy.  But I stuck it out & I was fine...just took it nice & slow & easy :)

This one older lady stopped me along the way & scolded me for being on a bicycle with "a baby in there" and told me to take it slow and walk LOL... I thought she was soooo sweet for caring!  :)

Felt my 1st Contraction later this evening!  Braxton Hicks type where I just felt my whole uterus contract like it's squeezing.  No pain.  Actually felt good!  A couple more small ones followed after that but nothing to worry about yet cuz no pattern, no pain, not getting longer-stronger-shorter duration.

Biking @ 37 weeks :)

Bibimguksu (Korean spicy mixed noodles)

First time making Bibimguksu (Korean spicy mixed wheat noodles)!  Got the recipe from my uncle awhile back & finally got to try it.  I need a lot of practice with Korean food... This was surprisingly good - finished off even the spicy chunks that collected on the bottom of the bowl :p

Mixing the kimchi, korean red pepper paste, korean red pepper flakes, minced garlic, black pepper, sesame seeds, sesame oil, agave nectar (instead of sugar)

Cooked up the wheat noodles - only took 3 minutes, then rinse in cold water & gently squeeze out excess water. 

Mix noodles with mixture, top with hard boiled egg, ground beef (seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper), julienned cucumbers, sesame seeds.

New Coach Diaperbag

Thanks to my sis for the awesome diaper bag that I soooo will need in a few weeks!  She may be my "lil" sis, but she sure knows how to take care of me!  Love u my boo! <3

Cedars-Sinai Maternity Tour 9/22/13

Touring the Maternity Wing @ Cedars-Sinai Hospital.  We had quite an interesting group of couples (only 3 others), and a great tour guide, Nurse Madalyn.  Not sure if I want to give birth in a hospital, but if it does happen, it would be Cedars :)

Huckleberry Brunch 09/21/13

Saturday Brunch stop before Costco @ one of my hubby's fave spots in the Westside - Huckleberry!

Loooong lines are no fun, but staff is nice when you reach them :)

It's line-order-find seat type of place.

Al Fresco by the Wilshire traffic :)

Sun Ha Jang Korean Duck BBQ

Another one that's been on my list for awhile.  Food was unique & good.  Service was exceptional!  They even suggested we bring our bicycles inside the restaurant due to possible theft outside!  They were close to closing so it was cool :)

Gotta ride the cruiser these days cuz I'm getting a bit too big &
need the fat tires & seat for balance & comfort hehee

Lawry's Prime Rib Dinner 09/19/13

Surf & Turf September special @ Lawry's!

Red meat good for pregnancy...lots of much needed Iron! 

Just past 35 weeks now... less than 5 weeks to go!

Carmela Ice Cream 09/06/13

Rode bike to the nearby Carmela Ice Cream shop for dessert after dinner at Food by Diego...

Really cute interior design.

Village Pizzeria @ Larchmont Village

Been wanting to check out this joint forever and a day!  Too bad it was a bit of a disappointment...  I like my Tomato Pie in Silverlake, or Hollywood Pie Chicago style - that crust is seriously addicting!  But this place will do to curb my preggie pizza cravingz...

Maternity shoot 09/02/13

Labor day, 33 weeks pregnant.
El Matador beach, Karo Studios.
