Since these photos were taken last January and the experience wasn't fresh in my mind. I had to write this time a photo essay instead of a full written blog. My first trimester during my pregnancy kinda made me a bit lazy so there were a lot of stories remained unwritten. But I promised myself that I have to write this blog for my children to read when they are all grown up, I had to write my blog, one step at a time.
