Belly Update: February 25, 2006

Okay, here's the new belly. Note the inadequacy of both the maternity pants and the 3rd trimester maternity shirt.

The most recent belly measurement, at Shannon's ob-gyn on Thursday, was 40cm from the top of the uterus to the top of the pubic bone.

Shannon has also gained 31 pounds, all in her belly.

It's really quite impressive.

What Not To Feed Your Baby

Prenatal health is important. That's why Shannon and I have been eating lots of Asian food - all that green tea and vegetables - like this yummy treat picked up at the Saigon Deli on Jackson Avenue in Little Saigon. Mmm...crack sandwich.

Baby Room

So, at Doreen's request, here is a picture of the color we painted the baby room...it's Laura Ashley "Apple." The items you see in the foreground are all the assorted baby gear that F/friends have been kind enough to pass on to us...it's organized in a system, really.

Least Comfortable Moment

So, Shannon and I started the Parenting and Childbirth class today...about five hours, with three more to go. People in it seem pretty nice. Least comfortable moment: a riveting description of what is involved in the process of circumcision, with one vivid simile being "ripping off a fingernail."

I'd put a picture here, but I thought it'd be more fun to ask everyone to go out and Google "uncircumcised penis" just to see what comes up.
