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. ^_^

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!).
