Another busy weekend - Daddy/Daughter Day while Meme and her mom went shopping Saturday, then Sunday we watched the new TinkerBell movie on DVD from the library, did laundry and put up the Christmas tree and some other holiday decor.
Julia was so cute - when eating grapes this weekend, she wanted to "save" the small tiny grapes for Baby Rosie! Julia also saw the co-sleeper in our bedroom (folded up and in the storage bag) and asked what it was. When I told her "it's Baby Rosie's bed that will be attached to Mommy's side of the bed" she said "Why? I can hold Baby Rosie's hand to sleep." Such a good big sister!
Meme is almost going to pee every 30 minutes now! Very uncomfortable with Rosie the mover and kicker...we can"t wait for the big day of Rosie's arrival and pray for a smooth, healthy and easy delivery!
11-26-09 We have so much of which to be THANKFUL!
Our family + Grandma Ping Sou had Thanksgiving brunch at The Summit Club in downtown Tulsa. Nothing like being with loved ones on the 31st floor with wonderful views and good food. The prime rib was excellent! We are very grateful for our loving family, caring friends and my career that takes care of us! Here is a great picture of my beautiful glowing wife, enjoying the food, view and company at The Summit Club.
11/24/09 Meme is just TIRED of being TIRED!
Here's a naked belly pic - Man does Baby Rosie feel ready to come out into this world! Daddy thinks it'll happen the first week of December. We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 12:20pm...so we'll get an updated report very soon!
11/23/09 The weekend was good!
Meme got to get some extra rest, Julia and I spent some quality time (breakfast, my Weight Watchers meeting, library, grocery shopping and scooter/tricycle time Saturday and then breakfast and TV time Sunday) and we had some nice family time - yummy Korean buffet lunch on Sunday and some fun at LaFortune Park! I love spending quality time with Julia and it was a double bonus for me to get some activity in also!
Life is good - just busy and hectic and as Meme gets well from this stupid ever lasting cold, Daddy is trying to help out more and more at home, which does get tiring...but we will survive and prosper from it all!
MOMMY NOTE : Daddy is a great Daddy :) Despite the stress of that time- he still writes in your blog!

11-19-09 Oh the stress and worries...
Just a few more weeks to go, but dealing with a toddler who wants to express her independence and test boundaries, a temporary live-in grandparent, no strong family/friends network in the town and the big adjustment to having a second child AND moving in January is all a bit overwhelming! Add to that Meme's cold she's been battling for weeks and not getting enough rest due to the demands of life and not being able to sleep through the night...Ahhhhhh....stress, worries, anxiety. I love my wife and daughter(s) - the answer to solve all this - WIN THE LOTTERY and have two stay at home parents, yeah, that's the ticket!
11-17-09 Meme is worried of when her water may break!
Now as we enter the last 4 weeks of pregnancy, Meme is starting to worry about "What if my water breaks when I'm outside (in public or driving)???" Daddy has a strong feeling Baby Rosie will be early - just like Big Sister Julia. So we started to get the hospital bags out and have the goal of finishing the packing and having the bags in the car this Thanksgiving holiday! Exciting, tiring and a lot of anticipation is being felt everyday!!!
Nov. 3, 2009 - A really tough day and night!
With Julia sick with a virus, her asthma kicking in and her disgust for vomiting/spitting up...it was a tough day for both Meme and Julia. Meme is exhausted, just about 6 more weeks with this pregnancy - not sleeping through the night, peeing every hour, worried about our daughter's health. Then Julia - bored, not much appetite, but has energy during the day and wants to "play!" So after dinner Julia and I played the Silly Faces Colorform game, the Duck 1-2-3 game and a couple games of Zingo! When we put Julia down for bed she woke up coughing and had a lot of phlegm but wouldn't spit it out...so Mommy and I ended up taking turns sleeping in the seated position in bed with Julia seated in our lap and head against our chest. I swear I didn't get to bed to close to 2am...and out of habit I woke up just after 7am! Urghhh. The joys and tribulations of parenthood...soon for two!
From my wonderful wife's FB posts:
"8 months preggers + 3 years old with asthma and gag reflex + no sleep + double time on nebulizer = 0 energy and an exhausted hubby."
"Despite being tired - - seeing all the tiny baby clothes back out again brings me to a happy place :) Major nesting hormones kicking in woohoo!"

October 30, 2009 Fall Festival at Undercroft
Here's a photo of Meme and Julia (and Baby Rosie) having pizza at Undercroft Montessori's Fall Festival. I told my darling wife that she doesn't even look pregnant in this picture. She sure feels it though - about 6 more weeks or so - the peeing every hour, kicking and movement from the baby, thankfully no new weird cravings! The nesting desire is on strong now, this weekend Meme started washing clothes for the baby, getting the boppy pillow, car seat, snuggle nest, etc prepped. The joy and adjustment is right around the corner...it's going to be great!!!
