Let it snow~~~~Let it snow~~~~Let it snow~~~~

Let's eat snow! Yummy!

Toby is contemplating whether he should go for a swim in the snow.

Snow!

The dogs don't like being outside in the cold.

Sung put up lots of shelves over the weekend -- shelves in the closet, shelves over the crib, and another shelf over the dresser. He also put up blinds, curtain rods, pictures, and put together a changing table. He got a lot done this weekend. ^_^

Woohoo for Craigslist!

We drove all the way to Greenwood to take a look at a glider that was listed on Craigslist. Didn't really know what to expect but it turned out that the glider was in very good condition. The little leaves on the glider goes with the tree on the wall. ~ :)

Oh Charlie....

I must admit that my tummy has gotten rounder lately. Last night when I was watching TV on the couch, Charlie decided to prop his little head on my tummy and use my tummy as his pillow. I wondered if he could hear the baby.

Super Sung!

Half marathon and 6 hour round trip to Oregon -- all in 1 day!
So proud of you Sung!!

For Dads-to-Be

Here's something from Babycenter.com
Strange but True Facts for Dads-to-Be

The Pregnant Belly: The abdomen of a pregnant woman is actually quite hard—sometimes it may seem like your mate has swallowed a basketball. By her ninth month, that belly will be her own TV table, perfect for resting that bowl of ice cream. Yet the taut belly housing your child will become jiggly just after birth. Thankfully this squishy belly will eventually snap back as the mom's body regains a non-pregnant shape.

Let's dissect this a little bit.

-Sometimes it may seem like your mate has swallowed a basketball: Sung hasn't mentioned that I look like I swallowed a basketball = Good. Nor has he called me his "mate" = Good.

-By her ninth month, that belly will be her own TV table, perfect for resting that bowl of ice cream: Um......I'm not at 9 months and I've already used my belly to rest my book as I read. And just last night, I used my belly to rest a bowl of ice cream.

-Thankfully this squishy belly will eventually snap back as the mom's body regains a non-pregnant shape: Thankfully? Who are they kidding? And you wonder where men get this strange idea that their pregnant wife's body will "snap back". Well, good thing is that my non-pregnant shape was post-Mexico trip, which will give me time to loose the baby weight plus the extra weight from Mexico. :P

Couvade or "Sympathetic Pregnancy": A man experiencing couvade mimics the same physical symptoms as his pregnant wife, such as weight gain, food cravings, and nosebleeds. According to Armin Brott, author of The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year , between 25 and 90 percent of dads-to-be in this country experience couvade syndrome (from the French, "to hatch"). Don't fret, guys! These very real symptoms usually disappear, amazingly, as soon as the baby is born.

Sung's checklist:
Weight gain: Check!
Food cravings: Check!
Nosebleeds: No! (for both of us)

Something funny~

No idea why VW has this but I think it's to promote their Routan van. Anyhow, I found this very funny. At first, I accidently created a "south Asian" baby. The baby was still very cute.


Here's when you combine Sung and I. Isn't he cute? I'm sure Jr. will be much more handsome. ^_^

Nursery

Here are some pictures of the nursery. It's still pretty bare and we've been moving the furniture around. :P

Toby and Charlie are learning to how stay out of the nursery. Both are very curious!

Jr.'s shoe collection.

Sung: "Do we need all of these"?

Me: "Sure we do! Beside, it was on sale!". (Except for 2, all are different sizes. Jr.'s set for a whole year).

Let's get caught up!

Decided it's a good time to start a blog since the last one I've had was Xanga.com. I was introduced to this by a friend (you know who you are!) and thought it was a great way to keep friends posted. At some point, I may not be able to email as often since I will either be attending to the little jr. or catching up on so Zzzzzzz (hopefully!).

We're having a boy!!

Here are some pictures.
