2 Wongs get a pupster.

I love dogs. No but really, I grew up always having a dog in the house. They are truly sweet companions. Since moving to Charlotte I have been blessed enough to know people that have dogs so I can get my occasionally puppy “fix,” but never ventured out into the world of dog ownership. Then I married Brandon. He, on the other hand, did not grow up with a dog, or any pet at all, so he was not against the idea of having a dog, just indifferent, and understandably concerned with the amount of work that a dog can bring into our  lives. So 4 months ago when I said, “Let’s get a dog or try to have a baby.” He chose baby and I was fairly convinced my dreams of a dog anytime in the near future were over. I of course, continued to “ooo and ahhh” and stare every time we saw a dog anywhere and I think I may have worn my husband down because one evening he said…”let’s go look at puppies this weekend. “

I looked at him calmly in the face and said “If you don’t want a dog, I really don’t want us to get one.” (While my insides were screaming and jumping for joy.) His response was “You better take me up on this offer now, or I may never want a dog again.” So the story goes, one day later we were filling out an application for a little shepard/lab mix pup, and 2 days later he was at our house.

Introducing, Maximus Wong, (Max to his friends)

2 Wongs make a……

I am 18 weeks pregnant. Whoa, almost halfway. Seems a little bizarre considering we just started telling people the good news not so many weeks ago. It has been a really exciting time here at the Wong household. This weekend, we gathered our loved ones together to find out what flavor this sweet little lad or lass is.

We had our ultrasound on Thursday and kindly asked the nurse to not tell us the gender of Baby Wong (BW) but to write it down and put it in a little envelope. She did so, and even scotch-taped it closed so I, being quite the sneaky mommy wouldn’t catch a glimpse of the news. I drove directly to my friend Devan‘s house to deliver the envelope. Her job was to show up on Saturday afternoon and fill a giant box full of pink or blue balloons, and then wrap it up and wait for me to lose my mind. I joked with her several times that our friendship may or may not last the 2 days between me delivering the envelope, and me getting to open the box. But she was so gracious and did such a great job, even with her sweet twin girls in tow. So, Saturday night came. I was literally dying with anticipation, and with 40 members of our friends and family gathered around our living room, this is what transpired…

So there you have it, Baby Wong #1 is a boy. We are so exciting, my pinterest is already blowing up with sweet gentleman bowties and mustaches. We felt so blessed to have so many friends and family there with us!
