P is for Pinkboots!

2008-12-02T13:54:00.003+09:00

REMEMBER : Two(or one depending on where you live) days left for your second baby guess. Carefully read comments, and be specific on the month or I'll assign one to you.

Now onto our regularly unscheduled blogging.

Edamame, as you can see has chosen some pink boots to accessorize with for post-church outings. He wanted to buy them all by himself.

The more pressing matter of present is his preference for the letter P. Aunt Pam and Grandpa P will be most pleased to perceive that our Pre-schooler can now recognize the premier letter of their name. Wow, I'm pooped!

It's the only letter he recognizes, and he picked it off the fridge(we have that leap frog game where you press it and it sings a song). I may be an English teacher, but I'm more of an unschooling kind of parent, so he's done this all on his own. Once he realized that he could recognize it he's become obsessed with letters. The next one he asked me about was 'L'(go Grandma!), and we've been reading one of our ABC books non-stop since, including first thing this morning, BEFORE breakfast. He's even asking what letters as he does our ABC puzzle.

...remember, I'm an English teacher, that's why I have this stuff lying around.

Let the extra stuff begin!

2008-12-01T15:34:00.003+09:00

That's right! Anyone who has guessed for the baby day now has three days to add 1 more guess. I bought a bunch of treats today, so it would behoove your stomach to make another guess.

On that note, I'm pooped. 007 took a sick day and it's been busy with laundry, vacuuming, trips everywhere, a stop by the optometrist, and everything else in between.

Pictures later.

007 was checking out his cell phone bill online and asked me

"What is the past tense of log-in?"

moi: "Logged in, why?"

007: "That's what I thought, check this out..."

Gotta love this country....oh and I did fuzz out his name, not like anyone could read it, but whatever.

Remember : Only a few more days left to email/comment your baby birthday guess. It has to be an UNTAKEN day. Look at the calendar on the left to see what's still open.

Now onto what I'm really going to talk about...the Diversity Visa Lottery. We enter 007 in it every year(we forgot last year though), and every time we need a recent passport/mugshot for both 007 and me. They aren't very becoming, but since the camera was out 007 did grab a belly shot...so for Pam...Happy Belated Birthday Present.

Me at 35 weeks. If you don't know what that means, it basically means the end of month 8. I turn 9 months next week.

..hope everyone had a fun and thankful Turkey glut. Enjoy your black Friday. Good night!

Ok, so I'm not a breastfeeding nazi or anything like that, formula has it's place, but this articles sure makes me glad Edamame was a mama's milk only boy. Hope all the parts work again so that I don't have to worry about Brass Knuckles.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

2008-11-26T14:04:00.003+09:00

So I'm not sure if she'll even read this on her birthday, but just to let her and the world know how cool I think she is....happy birthday Pam!

One of the hardest things about being over here is being away from her. She's always been a great example to me(yeah, I know, the younger sister leading the way), and super forgiving, loving and fun.

We love you! Have an awesome day!

Environmental Wrapping

2008-11-25T23:10:00.002+09:00

I'm a dork, I took apart our Rand McNally map book that Edamame had ripped the cover off of and started to use it to wrap presents. It looks cool, but not very Christmassy. Oh, and I know it is super early, but I have no idea where I'll be on Christmas Eve, so it is prep work. Some people make meals and freeze them before they have a kid, I wrap presents.

I wrapped some stuff we got a week and a half ago from Grandma, and Edamame discovered the world's softest socks, and LOVES them. Then we added the new hat that Obaachan knit for him. I am so glad she did it again this year, in addition to babysitting, cleaning and just being a rad MIL. We are spoiled with an awesome Grandma and an awesome Obaachan!

Dr update: Baby is healthy, moving and is estimated at 5.3 lbs. Once again, an estimate that gets more and more inaccurate as the kid gets bigger. I just like the idea that the ultrasound calculated due date is like two weeks before the original one. Either way, who knows when this kid will come or how big he'll be, but it is fun to get the info.

Thanksgiving

2008-11-25T22:52:00.002+09:00

Already had turkey! Woo hoo! It was a lot of fun, though I was feeling pretty yucky by the end of the day. I'm still recovering from being sick. Edamame has had some fun recovery days too. We had to wake him up on Sunday morning at 9am!! yeah, insane, he was complaining about it being too bright and he wanted his sun glasses. Poor little guy, looked like he had a hangover.

We did take our Christmas photos that day too, here is one of the rejects, if you want a real one in your mailbox let me know ASAP.

Oh and back to Thanksgiving. I just have to say the sweet potato recipe from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook was TO DIE FOR! I also whipped up some pretty good stuffing with wheat bread, mushrooms, shiitake, apples, walnuts, onions and leeks. Here is a nice picture of the whole crew this year. We kept it small for OBVIOUS reasons.

What would Thanksgiving be without pie? Well Edamame really dug the whipped cream part of the pie equation. This is for you Amy.

Personality

2008-11-22T19:56:00.002+09:00

My friend QS took this test, and I thought I'd share. It is a blogging personality test. Here are my results

ESTP - The Doers

The active and play-ful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.

The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.

Too true, and now I have to get back to Thanksgiving prep...or at least cleaning up from our trip to Costco today. Anyone want me to post the menu for Monday's Thanksgiving party?

A matter of semantics and dynamics

2008-11-21T15:01:00.003+09:00

Two things for todays Japan Cool before I get to making Edamame's fish jeans.

1. I am 9 months pregnant....if you count it Japanese style. It is always a month ahead of the European gestational counting system. Why is this cool? I feel like I've accomplished more and don't have as far to go for some odd reason. Yeah for using a lunar calendar(which Japan used to use in the past I believe).

2. Our baby monitor broke a few months ago. Edamame is old enough that we don't NEED one, but with the colder weather(closing the doors in the house to keep warmth in specific rooms, but it also muffles sound), and Brass Knuckles coming, we need to get a new set. Here is what I want!

In case you don't follow the link or can't read it, the cool thing about these bad boys is that they give you temperature readings for the room that the baby is in. Yeah there are cool ones that give have a video, blah blah, I'm not that anal, but it does get REALLY cold in this house, and the upstairs can get REALLY hot in the summer. I'm not sure what is available in other countries, I just thought this was a rad idea.

Remember: Leave a comment somewhere for a baby guess. You only have 10 days left!

007 got some photos of the picnic from some of his coworkers/other attendees, I thought it'd be fun to share some of them. Oh and a sickness update, I don't think I'll get much worse, but Edamame feels really yucky. We watched Curious George ALL DAY LONG(nap time was Pride and Prejudice at least). Oy!

Ok, now for some pictures.

Our arrival picture...kinda, it took Edamame about 10 minutes to feel comfortable enough to sit down to eat.

007 helping Edamame do a plank down to get some rice balls.

Ah, full and comfortable.

Boy was that a good thigh workout! Feel the burn, baby!

These two had a lot of fun playing catch, though we had to keep reminding them to throw it to each other. Especially Edamame liked to hold onto the ball and just run around.

Same thing, but for anyone looking to see how pregnant I am, it's an OK belly shot.

...and of course, what day would be complete without a little upside down time!

Random facts: Finished my MIL's apron, Edamame's stocking, a necktime for him, and tandoori chicken today. I'll have to try the chicken again, it was good, but I was missing coriander. Thank goodness that craving was fulfilled, now if only I can find some split peas and appease that pea soup craving.

Sick day

2008-11-20T08:39:00.000+09:00

We're both sick today. We'll be watching too much tv today. Oh, and
yes, that is our heretical pre-Thanksgiving Christmas tree.

Good Day

Yeah for online Christmas shopping!

including a sale on legos at amazon.jp for Edamame

Boo for Amazon.com sending me an email about all the sweet Dansko shoes available. Can't buy them....grrrrr

Woo hoo for getting the belated Birthday present for my FIL *geometrically* measured and cut out!

Boo for a husband in a different time zone.

Three cheers for my wonderful friend inviting me to play tomorrow morning! She always comes at the perfect time, she must totally listen to the spirit!

Boo for tomorrow being cold and overcast.

Hallelujah for a decorated Christmas Tree and a Thanksgiving feast in a week

We get Monday the 24th off for some other reason, so that is when we celebrate.

Boo for ...umm...something else I'm sure.

Oh and yeah for a phone call with my AWESOME sister today.

Boo for being tired...good night everyone

We've had a fun, silly and tiring week. It all started kind of last week when I went to the Temple and bough Edamame his own Book of Mormon. He started reading it right away, and he took the phrase "Feast upon the words of Christ" very seriously.

Then on Tuesday, as you already know I went to the Dr. and Obaachan and Michikobachan stayed here to play. Michikobachan(Aunt) also bought us an origami book. So far I've had to make some weird things. I've tried an Angel Fish, a crane, a rabbit, and a frog. I made the frog, went downstairs to get a camera, and right before I was back I hear a giant ripping noise. Doh! So I had to make another one.

What you may not have known, but will realize upon seeing the picture below, I have French ancestry.

Thursday, we got a package from grandma! Woo hoo! besides cookies, and some Christmas presents, Edamame also got some very warm pajamas. He LOVES them, and even though it is a crappy picture taken with my iPhone you can see him looking out the window to look at the moon and compare it to the ones on his PJs.

What Saturday would be complete without an adventure. This time we had a picnic with some of 007's co-workers and got to play in the grass. Oh, and some delicious krispy kreme donuts, from the 4th store to open in Japan. Ohhhhh yeah! The rest of the food was sparse, so it helped a lot, but we did eat much more substantially at home. Here are the picnic highlights, throwing balls and playing on rocks.

Of course, it isn't really the end of the week, but it feels like it. Sunday, the day we get gussied up and learn at church. Remember, I spoke of a dress I'd made. Well I finally got a picture. I've run into some problems with the buttons, they were sewn on pre-bump/body-milk-prep so they are starting to pop off. I'll have to move them an inch or so to the right to get it to work.

Not much else. Edamame has begun putting things behind his back and saying "It's gone!" if he doesn't want us to take something away. He's also begun requesting various languages for communicating. We've had 'nihongo' time at lunch for a few days, or at other times, 'no nihongo'. Tonight for bed he requested an 'English book'.

Ok, enough bragging...time for bed!

HALLELUJAH!

Check this out! What knowledge come from wasting time reading the news. We're soooooooooo excited! With two kids it may be worth the price to save the sanity. Hey, if Californians start boycotting Utah, the Japanese will pick up the slack.

Oh and for another, much more spiritual, pick me up....read this!

Today was a hospital day, and though we have no pictures, I thought I'd give an update for those who are interested, mainly family, but read along if you like. We'll go youngest to oldest.

Brass Knuckles: Kicking, growing and doing well. The ultrasound estimates put him around 4.5 lbs. He's been head down for the last two appointments, and digging that head into my hip, so no worries about a breech baby. Go go magic baby growing machine!

Edamame: Sleeping, thank goodness! His lip is almost 100% healed. His favorite new thing to say is "I need it, NOW!" especially when it comes to things we don't want him to have/eat. He is also becoming a big fan of "I do it myself". On the neat side of things he can sing I am a child of God in English and Japanese, Itsy Bitsy Spider, ABC, Oh Christmas Tree, and we're now working on Angels we have Heard on High.

Soybeanlover(me): Getting uncomfortable, but fortunately can't over stuff myself because my stomach is too squished now. My plans for this week are sewing projects, and being a lazy butt. My MIL and her sister were over today, and did all the dishes while I put Edamame down for the aforementioned nap, so I am in heaven! Oh and I'm excited for Thanksgiving! I've been researching recipes online.

007: Big news! A Business trip to Taipei, Taiwan next week. We are also going to a picnic thrown by one of his co-workers this weekend.

Everyone else: In case you haven't heard, or don't know, my sister finally broke the silence about #3. The world now knows, and no we don't plan it, but dang am I excited to have cousins close together again!

Lingua Franca

2008-11-09T15:31:00.003+09:00

So just a quick thing, but I thought it was cool. There is a family in our ward from Peru, their kids were born here, but their first language was Spanish. They are starting to learn Japanese at school, but it is still pretty new. Edamame, who's English is much stronger than his Japanese now, and the 4 year old were drawing together during Sacrament and it was so cute to see them communicating in Japanese. Who'd have thought a Peruvian and American would be using Japanese as their Lingua Franca? What a world we live in!

Oh, and kindergarden starts when you're three or four here(three year or two year kindergarden)

Good Evening Tag

2008-11-08T19:43:00.002+09:00

Reminder: Look at this post, and leave comments for your baby birthday guess!

Thank you to those who've already guessed.

I got tagged by the lovely Queen Scarlet and it looked like a lot of fun. I am doing it in the evening, so it'll be a bit different.

1. My kitchen sink - I just did the dishes, not because of the post, but because the boys were in the bath, and that is when I wash dishes. Notice the milk carton, I have to wash it before we recycle it.

2. My favorite room - I like the color 007 painted it, it stays warm in the winter, it is where we play, fold laundry, get dressed, etc. I just moved Edamame's books to the bedroom a month ago, but before that, all of those were in here too. This was our bedroom when we were newlyweds.

3. Me right now - dunno what to say, just me blogging.

4. My closet - look at ALL the space I have. Now don't you feel blessed? For some reason 007 gets two closets and I get one.

5. The fridge - Lots of stuff on it, Edamame usually pulls all the magnets off.

6. The Laundry Room - It looks messy 'cause the boys threw their clothes off for bath time. This is also where we brush our teeth and stuff.

7. My favorite shoes - they are comfy, but a bit cold for winter. I'm so glad San Diego introduced me to these.

8. What my kids are doing right now - Edamame is taking a bath with 007. In Japan dads almost always take a bath with their kids if they are home in time. It is our weekend tradition.

Brass Knuckles is gestating, and making life generally uncomfortable for me.

9. My bathroom - brand new! I love this toilet. It has a bidet feature...sweeeeeet.

10. My dream vacation - Sorry no pics, I want to take my new family to Europe and tour them around!

I shall tag

2008-11-06T13:11:00.003+09:00

Reminder: Look at this post, and leave comments for your baby birthday guess!

Thank you to those who've already guessed.

With our friend Mrs. Emily(to distinguish between her and other Emilys) in town we had the chance to go to Zoorasia again. It is always a big hit with Edamame and yesterday was no exception. He loved the animals, unfortunately there is no Koala there, but the Kangaroos distracted him from that fact.

We started out the day riding the train, and since it was soooooo cold I taught Edamame how to put his hands in his pockets. This was great, but he refused to take them out.

After seeing some cool monkeys,

the lions which ran away,

and taking some pictures,

it seemed high time to get a "souvenir".

He tripped over the sidewalk and wasn't able to put his hands(remember, pocket obsession) out for the impact, and so has a very red, swollen lip with a big gash on the inside of his mouth too. Luckily there was another mommy there that had some bacitracin and an anpanman bandaid for the side of his head. Once he caught his breath he kept asking to see the otters as he cried. I'm impressed with his persistence even in the face of such great pain. It looks pretty bad today still, I'll try to snap another shot, so you can see how yucky it is.

Oh and I gave the wound a salt water bath this morning to kill bacteria, it hurt a lot, but he ate better for lunch, so I think it helped a bit.

Back to the zoo....we had fun, and hoped Mrs. Emily did too!

Oh, and just 'cause I think these pictures are sooo stinkin' cute. Gap totally lost out last year when they didn't choose Edamame for the model contest.

Busy Builder

2008-11-04T22:33:00.004+09:00

Reminder: Look at the post two below this one, and leave comments for your baby birthday guess!

The days are getting colder, which means we are going to be spending less time downstairs in the cold sunless rooms, and more time upstairs where it is warmer and brighter. Edamame loves his blocks, and today he was quite the busy builder.
I'm impressed with the structures he is building all by himself!

He is very attached to them though, and even though we tried a 5 min clean up before bed, we had to leave the houses standing tonight. This is a day pic, but still you can see the joy in his eyes.

Also some pride from a job well done!

As always he's his fun self, and we've been dinosaurs, cows, snakes, monkeys and cats today. He also broke down into tears when he saw that I'd made our bed. He likes looking at the squares on the mattress pad. We're definitely going through a 'shapes' period.

Halloweening

2008-11-02T15:00:00.004+09:00

REMEMBER: Look at the post below this one, and leave comments for your baby birthday guess!

Our Primary Halloween Party went off with many smiles, lots of candy and some good missionary work. Unfortunately, I was busing being in charge and 007 was keeping Edamame happy and helping out A LOT, so we have NO pictures at the party. We did get 2 before the party and a few afterwards once we were at Obaachan and Ojiichan's house. Edamame loved the costume, and danced in it until we left the house.

He thought he was a dinosaur though, and pretended to be one of the rest of the day.

Come night time though he switched to being a cat, and we've been cats ever since.

We've had a nice time here so far, as always. Edamame has been a bit sleep deprived, but is napping like a champ, so he's catching up. We even took Ojiichan out to dinner and ice cream two nights ago because his birthday is next Saturday. As always, lots of fun to be had, ad I got to go shopping by myself!

Ok, so I'm sure this is normal for a two year old, but I get a total kick out of two things he's been doing lately. First, he pretends to be someone or something else ALL DAY LONG. Last week it was his cousins, Friday we were 'puppy', 'frog' and 'lion'(he'll even use this names when we wake up and say 'good morning frog', etc.), yesterday was dinosaurs and today we are all cats. The second thing is snoring. He has discovered, probably from playing with me or observing 007 sleep, that snoring = sleeping. Last night as we were putting him to bed, with his eyes wide open he starts going making fake snoring sounds with the funniest face. We were laughing so hard. Once daddy left though, he turned back into a cat, nyeowing(it's a cross between English meow and Japanese nyan) until he fell asleep.

Baby #2 Birthday Guess

2008-10-31T12:58:00.003+09:00

Big Contest!

Now here's the skinny.

Look to your right. Some of you may remember the guessing game we had when Edamame was born. It was fun, so let's do it again. If you win, I'll send you some of my favorite Japanese candy, don't worry it isn't sugar coated seaweed or anything like that.

Here are the rules.

Starting on November 1st until November 30th each person gets to submit 1, count 'em, one, guess for a birthday for Brass Knuckles. All submissions in by midnight your own time. I sincerely hope you aren't up that late though. If, in the highly likely chance, there are days open you may submit a SECOND guess between Dec 1st and Dec 3rd. Once again, this is for second guesses only, if you didn't get a first guess in, well, you loose out. The winner will be announced sometime shortly after the baby arrives. Be nice though people, I have to stay in the hospital for 5 days, no matter what....grr, so it'll take a bit of time to announce and to send off a package. You will get it though. To guess send email or comment anywhere on the blog, and give me a two letter initial you want to be known by. Whoever is time stamped first gets that day. Sorry my dad automatically got his birthday for his guess, them be the rules.

Some Hints and Advice.

Now we all know how worthwhile a due date is, right? Not very. Anyway, my due date is Dec 31st, but the hospital wants to think it is January 2nd. That means I could 'pop' anywhere between December 10th(37 weeks) and January 16th(end of 42 weeks). Induction would probably happen by January 14th or so, if we go that far. I will start trying home remedies like eggplant parmesan or green papaya after Christmas, no castor oil though. To give you an idea, Edamame was only 3 days post due. Though in an historical context, I was 1 day post due, and my sister was 2 weeks late, so it's your call. This kid has also typically been measuring large in ultrasounds. This could mean nothing, or it could mean I'm in for an early but long labor.

update: I put this in the comments, but I'll put it here too. The Full moons are on Dec 13th and January 11th, the New Moon is on Dec 27th. Edamame was born on a full moon.

Best of luck to all of you, and I hope one of the earlier guesses wins!

Count Your blessings!

2008-10-29T14:29:00.003+09:00

Edamame has this book that I hate! Why? I don't like the art and the name of the main character is 'cuddlebear'. I mean, come on? can't you think of a better name than that??? Nevertheless it teaches some good things about blessings, and so I've been thinking about what my blessings are. I'm gonna list the ones I've been thinking of, not to brag, but so I can think about them, and you can think about your own blessings. Feel free to share too. This is not a top ten by the way.

1. Rhogam shot. I can have healthy RH positive babies despite my RH negative blood. Thank you science!

2. A God who gave me the desire, and parents who gave me the opportunities to learn foreign languages. I met a lady yesterday who has lived here for 4 years and still doesn't speak Japanese. I'm so glad I can communicate!

3. Brass Knuckles, it's nice that he is always willing to enthusiastically let me know he's still doing ok in there.

4. A husband who knows when to say sorry. I LOVE YOU!

5. A love of reading, and an iPhone that I can read with. Thank you eReader!

6. Parents who taught me to understand science, I may not have majored in it, but the world is a lot easier to understand because of it.

7. Halloween Party for Primary on Saturday. We get to dress up, and it won't be a crazy hooplah like in the US.

8. Not being in the US during a Presidential Election. I get to research and vote, but without a lot of the bad feelings, political commercials and phone calls.

9. An awesome mother in law, that loves me for me, and isn't afraid of me because I'm from a different country. すばらしぎりのお母さんに感謝します！

10. Awesome parents, that despite the fact that I am almost 30, still do so much for me, and love me!

11. Edamame can now do nursery without me, and he'll even eat his food too. Double whammy because that means we won't have to do so many of the meetings during the week where he looses his nap because I'll be able to talk with the rest of the Presidency during Sunday School!

12. Hanging laundry, a house that is cold in the winter and stuffy in the summer, and not knowing what to make for dinner tonight. It means that we have clothes, a home, and food, and don't have to worry about it! Thank you Heavenly Father!

Ok, I'm done. You're turn if you want to.

P.s. I thought of two more tonight

13. Going to Institute for the first time. Just a bunch of old and young house wives, and some kids, but it is great to get out of the house and learn some Gospel words

14. A son who misses me as much as I miss him when I'm gone for a few hours. I love being able to cuddle my little guy!

Visitors and Points of Interest

2008-10-26T22:34:00.003+09:00

We got some surprise visitors starting Friday afternoon. Let me introduce them.

'Aunt Pam' has also made an appearance but seems to have a very deep voice, facial hair and looks surprisingly like a Japanese man named 007. Edamame has even taken to calling me 'Andi' when he's crying or when he wakes up in the morning. Here are the real people. In case you were wondering.

Also Edamame has chosen to make me into a liar. How so? I was gabbing with my sister last weekend talking about how he won't eat salad and doesn't use the pronoun 'I'. I wasn't worried about either, but it just came up somehow. Lo and behold THAT night he starts wolfing down my salad, and has kept it up ALL WEEK LONG. Then sometime this week he starts saying 'I'. Like 'I need a hug' or 'I want ____.' Even 007 has noticed it. Oh and one more lying moment. We had the now famous Emily & Mark over so they could have a reprieve from crazy food, and I told them 'yeah, Edamame won't eat soup'. He hasn't liked it before, but what does he do? Start stealing mine in the middle of dinner. Albeit half of it was on his shirt, but he was eating it. I like these kind of lies.

Other little updates, Edamame made it through nursery ALL BY HIMSELF, including snack time. Good job little guy. I gave a rockin' sharing time. We have plans to go to the ramen museum this week, and the zoo next. The halloween party is coming together nicely. I'm feeling happier, even after Edamame breaking a bowl this morning. Adzuki/Jorge/Brass Knuckles has a bunch of clean clothes now(but still no name). I forgot to take pictures, but my maternity Jane Austen dress looks RAD! And now I'll sign off for some quality time. Ciao!

HDTV Podcast

So this is a week old story but it was somewhat exciting. One of many podcast that I listen to is HDTV Podcast (iTune Link Here). On last week's episode (#320), about at 7:45 they read email I sent in about Vizio TV sales in Japan. So if you want to listen to it, you can download it on iTunes using the link above, or you can listen to it on their website.
If you are interested in Home Theater and other technology stuff, this is a pretty good podcast.
