Well, it took us 17 weeks and 6 days to find out our baby's gender, and yes, it is a boy~~
I personally don't really care if it is a boy or a girl, I just want a helthy baby.
Here we go~ the first picture is a baby's profile, you can see the pretty nose and pretty shape of baby's head. When we were doing the ultra sound we actually saw our baby moving quit alot. He even waved at us. The second picture is a laying down view of our baby's butt. The tech that day did on purpose for those of you who have problem reading ultrasound pictures :P Yeah, she pointed the penis for you to let you know it is a boy. hahaha...I still find that arrow pretty funny being there pointing at the little penis....
Mr. Hill and I decided we will not start getting baby's room ready, we want to wait till our baby shower and see how many free gift we get. :P After my baby shower we then well get the baby's room ready. Untill next ultrasound, here is all I have for baby update.
Oh, we still haven't decided on the name, it is a difficult job...since we both don't like common names. Our baby is gonna be screwed up :P he will have a unusual first name, Chinese middle name, and "Hill" as his last name. All I can say is "GOOD LUCK! baby boy"!!

New Recipe - Sweet & Sour Shirmp
I did this dish a while ago before we moved. However, never had the chance to sit down and write about it.
I actually looked many online recipies and then came up my own version. They all use pineapples, mayo and green peppers.
I add different kinds of vegetables due to limited resources from my old fridge :P
I love the taste of it, and I put lots of lettues at the base so whenever I grab a bite of the shirmp I can get some of lettus to make it more clean taste instead of heavy.
I dipped the shirmps in a flour/egg batter so they will taste better after I deep fried them. I diceided to cut the shirmps into smaller pieces because the shirmps I had they were SUPER JUMBO size....so a full shirmp will be too much to eat with.
Moving and The New House
Stainless appliences~~~ huge cooking and moving space! LOVE IT!!!!
It only took us 1 day to do the actual moving part. Thanks to Jason (who flew all the way from LA to help us), my mother in law, and of course my sexy hubby~ They basically did all the moving part. What did I do? I moved my baby Dorayaki :P
They keep telling me "pregnant lady go rest, go sit down" since I took order very well, so I did sit down and rest most of the time. I think the total moving hour was 14hours? (according to Mr. Hill's calculation)
Now for the unpacking part, I did alot of those, since most of them does not require heavy lifting or extream walking. I think I did okay, took us only 2 days to fully unpack ourselves. Did not do much on the Sunday because of my work. Now that everything have been put away the way I visioned I feel I am home finally~ It did not take me anytime to adjuest to the new house, maybe I am used to live in big house? XD
I was going to show some pictures, but then for privatcy reason I have decided only to show my favorite part of the house "The Kitchen!" :P sorry~

Meaty Version of my homemade dumplings
Finally have the time to sit down and write about the day I made those homemade dumplings~
It was a Saturday afternoon when I drag Mr. Hill to come with me and pick up things he wants in the dummplings. We bought the extra thin skin for our dumplings along with chives, Chinese cabages, green onions, ginger, and grounded pork for the meat dumplings. Vegetables version I used bean curds, bean thread noodles, mushrooms, and chives.
I didn't realized that since it is thin skin, 1lb skin have more than 50 wrapers....I bought 4 lbs skin. 1lb = > 90skins so I end up with almost 400 dumplings hahahaha.....
It took me over 2 days to make all of them because I under-estimated the amount of filling I need so we end up going back to the supermarket and bought more filling~
The end result was wonderful, and our honor guest Jason loves them! which means I am not lying when I said I make good homemade dumplings! :)
Tada~~ Don't they look delicious?!
