Michael Hyun Dasen

Born Tuesday, July 28, 2009 at 12:27am. 9lbs, 6oz and 21.5 inches long

I woke up from a nap at 8:30pm Monday night, and I thought that my water had broken. Soon after that I started having contractions. Bun took Cubby to L's house, and then Bun and I went to the hospital around 10:30pm. After the doctor examined me, he told me that the baby had flipped upside down in the past week and that I would need to have a C-section. They rolled me into the operating room, and after what felt like forever, got the epidural going. Soon Michael Hyun Dasen came out!

6 more days?

6 more days until my due date. My ankles and wrists are swollen, my back hurts, and I can't sleep. But other than that, I'm doing fine. I have a feeling Shrimbo is going to be late. I will try to take it easy and be patient (which is very hard for me) until he decides to arrive.

Two weeks to go!

Back in Riverside

We decided to take Cubby back to Riverside Park since it might be a while before we can take her up there again. Riverside Park was 1 block away from our old apartment, and Cubby loves running off-leash and chasing the ball.

The raccoons still live in the wall near the 108th St entrance.

Baby stuff

Jeremy and I practiced our diapering technique on one of Cubby's toys.

Most of the prints here I purchased through Etsy. The photo of the Gates in Central Park was a birthday present from Bun.

More Etsy prints. We haven't set up the crib with the bedding yet since Baby will sleep in a bassinet next to our bed for a while.

How do I feel?

Surprisingly okay. Now my fingers AND feet are swollen. I also wake up every 1-2 hours in the night. And in the afternoon, my back starts to hurt. I thought that I could work full days until the end, but I think that I may have to take a day/afternoon off here and there until I go into labor. Today I will get my hospital bag ready since I guess the show could start at any time. I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday so we'll see what he says.

About 3 more weeks...

I'm 36 weeks and 4 days. I find that it is getting harder to walk around (I get very tired) and I cannot sleep well at night.Here's a close up. I don't think that my belly will get much bigger- the baby will get bigger and have less room to move around.
