Gotta hate Summers in Tokyo

I'm pregnant too, but it's just really getting hot. These Japanese summers that I loathe never seem to grow on me. I'm just lusting after a cool vacation at a nice beach where the kids can play in the water & where I stay in my hotel room all day eating cold fruits. (--Dream on!)
Anyway, so whenever I'm bored of not cleaning the house I go & look at every one's blogs for a little entertainment. I get really annoyed when people don't update their blogs & the post just stays the same for days or weeks. But then again, my boring little salsa post was the front page of my blog for a very long time.
Well, I'm almost 16 weeks so hopefully I will be totally better soon. I can't wait for the day when I don't have to conjure up frequent meals & I will be satisfied with breakfast, lunch & dinner like everybody else. I don't want to say I'm not sick anymore cos every time I do, the next day I'm as sick as a dog.
Well I hope this time some doctor will be smart enough to tell if my baby is a boy or girl. It's hard to plan when you don't really know. Anyway, I still have ages to go.................

Aimee's Salsa

Probably Julie's Raul would laugh at my recipe, but here is the way I make fresh salsa.

Chop & Plop the following together in no particular order:

Finely chopped onions
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped Chives
Chopped Jalapenos (Jarred kind)
Chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
lemon juice
salt
(I pour in some of the Jalapeno juice from the jar- it's kind of vinegary)

I think that's it. Yummy

Update

Well, I survived the first trimester. I feel pretty decent most of the day until 5pm provided I don't go too long without eating. I'm still tired/lazy esp about doing dishes cuz I hate hot water on my hands (makes me sick), but I've pretty much toned down my carbonated drink need.

I got a sonogram last week & it was very clear. You could see the whole shape of the head & tummy & butt & I could even see the baby moving her/his little leggies. It was so cute.

I've been craving (Mexican) salsa so I made my own & put it on everything. I seem to be able to handle spicy foods now.

My tummy sticks out & It's kind of embarrassing cuz I'm only 3 months, I look fat & have to wear my maternity clothes already.
