have you had the pleasure of the pp seaweed soup yet? the thought of my freezer full of fish heads kind of makes me want to gag.

or how about the ginseng concoction that is supposed to shrink your uterus?

just checkin'

Hey!  thanks for thinking of me...I'm still here, although slowly adjusting to mommyhood.  Jake and I just got back from the pharmacy, bank and the post office and I feel like I could sleep for a week!  

Anyway, I've only had the seaweed soup once! Can you believe it?! She brought it to the hospital- I ate about 10 spoonfulls to appease her and then chucked the rest when she left   She never ended up staying with us which is probably (no- definitely) for the best.  She came up about a week ago and was planning on staying for a while but when she saw that DH and I were doing a good job at keeping our son alive (we knew how to change a diaper, I was bfing well, etc.) she felt like she wasn't needed and went home. Sounds like it was on bad terms, but it wasn't.  I think she just had very different expectations of what it was going to be like. They've been up a few times since then to just visit and it's actually been pleasant (except of course when she asks why I'm not wearing socks and why on earth am I drinking cold water?!?)  LOL!

you lucked out! I had a good 5 days of that stinky soup.

your little boy is a cutie pie! I cannot wait to watch him get older and see who he looks like. I have a friend here in the city and her husband is also korean (she's very blonde.) their 5 month old son looks quite asian but with fair skin and blue eyes! adorable too.
