Week 35
I believe we're ready in terms of baby products. We've purchased the crib. We've procured the pacifier. We've gotten a hold of a stuffed monkey and a tiny cookie monster. We have a couple of bottles to fill with milk. I think we're ready. Now all we're missing is the Little One to fill our dreams with joy and laughter and our mornings with little stinky presents of love.

Week 31 in a Crib
It's been a while since we last posted and we are terribly sorry for the delay. Sometimes it's so easy to get wrapped up in the tidbits of life.
We went to see the 'Docteur E.' last Monday and she had absolutely nothing new to say, which is a good thing. We're on the home stretch and we're told that no news=good news. We now have a steady bi-monthly appointment schedule to follow, right up until d-day. Moah is really starting to feel Munchkin move around in there.
We have a new video of our Little One. It's not much and probably not that interesting for most, but you can get a good look at her face in this one (at least, i think you can). If you can make it to 3'39", you will see a few more things we have purchased for our Little One.

Congratulations you two
A few insiders, who infiltrated the red carpet birthday party out in the boonlands of Quebec, have divulged some wonderful news concerning the status of my Little Sis', a.k.a "La Tarte."
It looks like the winds were flowing right
Congratulations you two!
Moah, Chloe Nurie and I want to extend our love and support to both of you.

26 Weeks in and going for the final stretch.
We've made it to the 3rd trimester; the last and final trimester of incubation. It's only been a few days and I don't want to state any 'ficfacts' but, this trimester seems to be the most challenging for the M&M combo snack.
Every evening, Munchkin jumps, pushes and throws herself against the walls of her inner home as if to say: "Let me outta here already! What's going on out there?" She truly seems ready for a Ukranian Hopak dance party.
Little M has also been gaining major weight and is quickly closing in on the 1kg mark. One full kilogram wiggling Big M's insides, it's easy (and yes, impossible) to imagine how uncomfortable it must be day-in-day-out. Of course, Moah is still ecstatic about the whole thing.
With 3 months to go, it's hard not to be.
Here is a new video for you.
Some pretty good close-ups of our Little One on this one.

Organic or Plastic?
- Expensive :: 10,000 disposable diapers a week at 10,000 dollars a box equals 10,000 extra hours of work.
- Easy to follow instructions :: Strap on, strap off, then place in landfill. All in all, a fairly painless process compared to the organic alternative.
- Mother Earth :: The environment, on the other hand, takes a few blows to the sphincster on this one.
- Cheaper but still not free :: Looks like that overtime card will need to be punched-in after all.
- Wiping, rubbing and lathering :: These ones demand that we start a small cleaning company which may go public by year two.
- Painless on the environment :: By-product of feces and natural cotton fibres are a nice relief on the environmental sphincster.
After a great debate over watermelon juice and snack-a-roons, it looks like we are going to go with...well, both.
Organic at home and disposable on the road.
These are a couple of pics of the organic diapers we found on the wide web of the internet.Wednesday 23 July 2008
Shopping. Oh, the family shopping has begun.
Thanks for the Hand-Me Downs!
Over the years, hockey in Korea has become a nice little break from the rigors of the workweek. Although these days, I'm following a rigid no-work program and enjoying every second of it; a small perk that comes with teaching 200 young adults how to ask for directions to the local movie theatre , bank and pharmacy.
Ahh, hockey; love love LOVE it.
Not to mention that we have a good bunch of people showing up and suiting up to play.
Last week, while I was chugging down a sip of blue power juice, Dave, a teammate of mine, turned to me and said: "I got a bunch of stuff from my little one we're not using anymore. You can have it if you want." "Want? Sounds absolutely superb." I quickly retorted (of course, being on a hockey bench, I cussed between words 3 and 4.)
So here following is a little video I made to say thank you to the Weber family for thinking of us and our little one brewing in the oven.
Thank you again.

First Presents
I remember once, when shopping was simple; when all I needed was a shiny steel wrench or an ol' school wooden hockey stick to take up hours of my browsing time. No more. Now it's tiny socks for tiny feet, colourful lights for scary monsters, and pumps to...to pump who knows what.
My job as a shopping helper/carrier seems to consist of very few but nonetheless important duties. Here following is a list of basic duties I found very useful when shopping for ChloƩ Nurie.
Duty 1: Find a cart and then find wife.
Duty 2: Remain in fairly close vicinity of possible purchases.
Duty 3, the most important of all shopping duties: Nod or shake head when asked questions like: "Do you like the color?" or "Is it cute?"
Note, it is not important if one nods in agreement or shakes in disagreement but, it is VERY important to do one OR the other. Never do both. This will only extend the excursion by a good 30 or so minutes.
Duty 4: Place item in cart and push cart to next item.
Simple, I guess. But I always have problems with the second one.

Week 22
Week 22
Our wise doctor-of-baby-making asked us to drop by for a visit this past week because she wanted to have a look at Munchkin's bones, organs and blood flow. Needless to say, we were more than happy to oblige; we'll grab at any chance to catch a glimpse of our little one flowing around her mother's stomach.
No sound on this one either...I think my video+sound videos are too large for blogger to handle.
.
The results are in and it sounds like Munchkin is developing quite nicely. Her little head is oval shaped which was interesting to our doctor as most Korean babies are born with a more rounded shaped head. Her body is well developed and her left foot was measured to be 4.23cm long. She's getting to be a big girl.

It's a ...
week 20...sorry I deleted all my video files from my computer without knowing it. So I lost the music+video I made for this one.

Week 16
We have made a new video for you. Hope it puts a smile on your face.
During this visit, the hospital took some blood samples from Moah's arm to test for foetal abnormalities. We will be getting those results in a week's time. Dr.E. has also started to take full body measurements which she will use to evaluate Munchkin's growth progress. Word on the street is that this month will be the beginning of M and M's weight gain. Should be interesting to see.

First Craving: False Alarm?
but she keeps asking for more cherry tomatoes.
I believe she is starting to really enjoy the whole pregnancy experience. Then again, we are still in the elementary stages of it all. As of today, she has had a pretty mellow pregnancy; thankfully lacking in all the hoopla of morning sickness. I hope for her sake that it remains this way. Our next appointment is this Friday. Hopefully we'll have some new pictures to post.

Welcome
They grow up so fast, don't they? Only last week the little Munchkin was too small for the naked eye, and now the Munchkin is a rockin' 1.05cm tall; one-point-zero-five.
I just read that the foetal projected growth rate at this stage is a full double-up; two-point-one, here we come.
