Buddha belly
Here is a semi-recent picture of us. My sister sends me clothes from HM Mama but I prefer to purchase regular clothes, a few sizes up. Who knows how long that will last???

28
For my 28th birthday Jawsh took me to Michaels in Santa Monica. The garden was very romantic, the food delicious, and the dessert out of this world. The owner went by every table to greet the guests, which was also a nice touch. Last year, Jawsh took me to Melisse, which was also spectacular. I wonder where he'll take me next year???

Doggy traits
Here is some more information about the Year of the Dog (1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006). People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other peoples confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit. I happen to be a horse, so will the baby be more compatible with me???

Chocolate oysters
Last week we were at Godiva and I tried the Open Oyster. It was one of the best chocolates that I have eaten... It's a creamy blend of finely ground hazelnuts and milk chocolate in a milk chocolate shell. Well I went back to Century City the other day and I thought I would indulge in another oyster but decided to go home. What a mistake! I was craving that oyster all night to the point of tears (it's the hormones). There is a happy ending... Jawsh surprised me with my very own box of chocolate oysters the next day. What will he bring me home next???

Practice makes perfect
We are taking several classes to prepare for the child birth. We went to a class this evening that was lecture style: we sat, watched, and listened. But one of the best ways to prepare is hands on... Jawsh had some time to practice with Baby Ashley. He was able to carry her and she didn't cry! Will Jawsh have the same affect on our baby???

GGA, GGT, and GC
We just spent the day with the baby's Great Grandpa Art, Great Grandma Tina, and Grandma Caryn. In the picture we see three generations (the fourth is on the way). The baby is so lucky to have family that already loves him. I wonder if the baby will be able to keep up with Great Grandpa Art down the slopes???

Raining babies
Michelle and Billy had a wonderful co-ed baby shower. Yummy food, good company, and plenty of pink gifts. There were several games that involved measurement, intellect, and common sense. Jawsh won two of the games: guessing the size of Michelle's stomach (Billy was way off) and using his sight and smell to figure out the different types of baby food. Jawsh's least favorite was the beef and rice. I wonder what type of food the baby will respond to???

Music to our ears
We went to the Hollywood Bowl to listen to some amazing jazz. Although Herbie Hancock was the headline performer, the baby was really impressed with Joshua Redman. When he played the baby kicked. We hope that the baby will have a love for music and play an instrument. I wonder if the baby will play piano (hopefully better than me), drums like his Uncle Jay, or a woodwind instrument like Joshua Redman???

A snake, horse, and a dog
Everyone knows how much I love dogs. Although I have Watts and Goldie at my parent's house, they are no longer "mine" because they now belong to my mom. However, Jawsh and I are fortunate enough to welcome a "dog" in our life this December. The baby will be born in the year of the dog. Jawsh is a snake, I'm a horse, and the baby will be the "dog" I always wanted. How will Watts and Goldie react???

Doctor's orders
We went to my checkup and found out that I need to slow down my consumption of sugar. The culprits: fruit juices and soda (and the caramel macchiatos with extra caramel probably didn't help either). So, I have made a vow to keep away from those liquids. Since Jawsh is working at FIJI, one would guess that I would drink that all the time. Well, now I am. I wonder how long I will be able to do this???

To the eXtreme
We went to the X Games to check out Jawsh's painted skateboards. He painted three skateboard decks that were auctioned for the V Foundation (a charity for cancer research). The photo shows Jawsh next to one of the three he painted. We wonder if our baby will want to participate in eXtreme sports or play baskteball like his uncles???

Pickles and ice cream
Many people ask about my cravings. In the past I have enjoyed tomatoes, canteloupe, and empanadas. Recently, I have been craving Caramel Macchiatos. I have never been one to go to coffee shops, it's not my thing. But in the past week I have been three times. No worries though... I order decaf. Any predictions for my next craving???

Super-cup
When Jawsh was a little boy he really loved Superman. In fact he used to say, "uperman" when he first began to talk. In response to his love for Clark Kent, Grandma Bella bought him a Superman cup to drink out of when he visited her home. Jawsh recently brought this cup, made in 1978, to our home for our son. What if the baby prefers Batman???
