Post Baby Meals
25 Jul 2012 1 Comment
There are several things a mother must abstain from eating or drinking while pregnant. Luckily, it hasn’t been too difficult for me to stay on track with my diet. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t certain foods that I miss. Below is a list of things I would like to eat almost immediately after Freckle is born:
- Ahi Poke
- Sushi
- Korean Sesame Bean Sprouts
- Apple/Brie Bruschetta
- V. Sattui Dry Riesling
- Iced Mocha
Note: I do not necessarily need to eat all that in one meal. 😛

37 Weeks!
21 Jul 2012 1 Comment
While Jenny and I are still debating on whether 37 weeks was on Thursday or is tomorrow, it’s clear that it’s almost time for Freckle to rear his hapa head! This is a big milestone because it’s means that if Freckle popped out tomorrow, he’d still be considered “full term”.
Here’s what 37 weeks looks like. Three different strangers have asked Jenny if it’s going to be a boy (nobody suggested girl!) so apparently it’s also what a boy at that age looks like. Sure it’s not the best photo from a technical standpoint, but you can’t beat that radiant smile!
By the way, we have 33 people signed up for the baby pool now! If you haven’t signed up yet, there are still plenty of open slots. It’s free and the winner gets a surprise!

36-Week Update
19 Jul 2012 Leave a Comment
Sorry we haven’t posted an entry in awhile. Dan and I have been pretty busy and keep forgetting to update the blog.
I’ve been on maternity leave for almost a week at this point. Surprisingly, I’ve been able to keep busy the entire day. There are always places to go, people to call, or things to do at home. Freckle’s crib, changing table and dresser are all set up. Below are a couple pictures.
There are still a few items we need to purchase. For example, you will notice the crib does not have a mattress in it. We’re waiting on the Completion Coupon from Babies R Us to get 10% off the remaining items on our baby registry. Luckily, we have so many generous friends and family that we’ve got plenty of gift cards to use towards that purchase.
This weekend, our goals are to clear up our living room of boxes and to take a picture of Freckle and me to show how big he is getting! This baby is kicking and punching a lot still. Every time we go to visit the doctor and she’s trying to listen to his heartbeat, he’s moving around. We really need to get him into a martial arts class ASAP to let go some of that energy!
More pictures to come!

The Baby Shower
02 Jul 2012 1 Comment
Well I’m sure Jenny can write a wonderfully effusive post about how awesome the baby shower was. My short version: lots of sun and drinks and food and laughs were had by all excepting only poor Freckle, whose mom blocked his sun all day. Freckle’s Pop-pop surprised us by showing up from Washington, DC and that would have been the bomb alone but then he helped cook!
Here are some pictures from the day. Of the nearly 300 photos that were taken with my camera (about 100 of which are posted here) I probably shot about 10. The rest were done by Jon, Michelle, J.D., Chung and probably several others. I don’t know, I was a bit drunk by the end of the afternoon. My point is that if you have any comments about the quality of the photos, it wasn’t me (unless the comment is positive, and then it was me).
