char siu bao

char siu bao

In Chinese, char siu bao means steamed barbecue pork bun and I taught Jin how to say it because that is what we nicknamed our little bun in the oven!

I am so happy to be able to finally tell you that Jin and I are expecting our first little baby in April next year and we couldn't be more excited! It is constantly on our minds and I feel like I was keeping it a secret for such a long time! I am no good at keeping secrets!

Below is what our char siu bao looked like at 12 weeks (I am 15 weeks now). We joke that it has my nose and Jin's forehead! You should see Jin's face whenever he gets to show this photo to friends on his phone! Already a proud daddy!
