P365 Day 9 – Jan 9th 2008

OK, so I realize this is becoming the 366 days of Thomas. Don’t worry, that will change in May and become the 366 days of Thomas and (child yet to be named).

PS. Thanks Mr Trader Joe’s checkout guy for the fun prop. 🙂

Drum Roll Please

20 week prenatal appointment. The big one…

The baby is healthy, growing properly with no signs of any problems.

Before I share the BIG news, some new pics of our little peanut.

Profile. That’s the little hand in front with a little thumb sticking out.

And there is absolutely no doubting it. I saw the evidence many many times.

And yes, I have come to terms with the fact that my life will from now on be filled with dirt and mud and general craziness. 🙂

I think he already looks like Thomas. Take another look at the first photo – same nose and chin. 🙂

So there you have it. Baby Boy Ishida #2 is on his way. Now if we can only agree on a name… Suggestions welcome.

Follically Challenged

I have been meaning to scrap a page about this for a long time. At two years and four months old, Thomas is yet to have a haircut. Apparently I was a bald baby until 12 months of age so I guess that’s where he gets it from – definitely not from the Japanese side of the family. He is just starting to get bed head.

The funny thing is that his hair is growing in suprisingly evenly. No long tufts anywhere. In fact he looks like he’s had a buzz cut. The good thing is that we have never had to spend a cent on haircuts.

Tomorrow is Monday and my first full week of work for some time. Wish me luck!

P365 Day 6 – Jan 6th 2008

I asked Thomas to come over to the window for a shot with natural light. It is so much fun now that he actually asks me to take his photo. We just have to work on his “cheese” face.

P365 Day 5 – Jan 5th, 2008

Thomas and a friend having fun at the playground during our monthly baby group get together. I still catch up with some of the people from the Baby and Me group that I started going to when Thomas was just 3 weeks old. That group was a lifesaver when I was a first time mum, having trouble with nursing and sleeping. It was the one safe place where I could go and be comfortable admitting my mistakes and ask questions with other women going through the same experiences. More than two years later I still love catching up with the same mothers and babies on a regular basis.
