We are having so much fun!

This is Yuan at 38 weeks. My wife gets more beautiful every day...just look at that smile!

Today we celebrated our first Mother's Day. For starters, Yuan, Evan and I had brunch with Grandpa Weigel and "Granny Nanny" Weigel at the Cypress Hotel in Cupertino. Yuan had fresh fruit, eggs and pacakes. Evan had tiramisu, chocolate cookies, and a brownie! After brunch Evan and Mom had a well deserved nap, before watching Montreal beat Chicago in hockey (Evan's favorite sport...)

This evening we celebrated mother's day with Uncle Ramani, and Aunt Margaret. We dined on shanghai style cuisine at HC dumpling before coming back to check out Evan's room, crib, and cute wardrobe. This kid has tons and tons of clothes! It was really nice to spend time with Ramani and Margaret!

Afterward, Yuan and I decided to take some pictures...Evan will be here soon and so much of this will only be a fond memory, so we wanted to have a few keepsakes! Over the past few weeks, Yuan's belly (uh...Evan) has grown so much! Yuan has taken all this on so well, she never complains although I can tell that things that used to seem easy (tying shoes, climbing stairs) are becomeing a challenge. Footrubs and backrubs help, so I try to do my part by providing them frequently!

I can't think of a better partner to go thru life with, and to share pregnancey and childbirth. We have enjoyed classes, food cravings, and shopping for all the kids accessories together. It's all leading up to such anticipation, and I frankly can't wait to meet this little guy! He has been entertaining us daily with acrobatics in Yuan's belly, so I figure he has lots of energy and enjoys being a ham ;)

This picture was taken at 37 weeks. Just a couple more to go now... I'm getting uncomfortable and I'm sure he is too; there's no more room for him to kick even though he's still quite active.

Brian and I are all done with our classes. Last week we spent the entire Saturday in a birthing class. Everyone says it's nice to know the techniques but it all goes out the door during the actual labor. *GULP* Brian said he will remind me, thankfully.

Our nanny Julie came by to check out the house today. She is almost as excited as I am! Evan is in very good hands.

Week 35 1/2

Time flies. Four and a half more weeks to go, that's if we go with the 5/24 due date. Otherwise, it's THREE and a half more weeks to go. *GULP* Everyone asks me if I'm ready. Logistically, yes. I feel so much more ready now that we have had the baby shower and bought everything else we were missing. Mentally... hard to say. Is anyone ever truly READY for this? What I know is that I am excited about meeting the little thing that's been kicking me for the past few months, and that I have the best partner in the world with whom to share the experience. So yes, I guess I'm ready. As ready as I'll ever be.

Speaking of baby shower... my mother-in-law Barbara and sister-in-law Laura threw me a FANTASTIC baby shower. I was surrounded by great friends and family who got some of the CUTEST outfits for the little baby, as well as several much needed items. There was a nice spread of fruits, snacks, and drinks along with fun games. Best part was definitely catching up with everyone.

Week 32

7 more weeks to go! Evan is extremely active, or at least, I think so since I have no previous experience with which to compare. He is constantly moving, twitching, stretching, turning, kicking, and this lasts all day long. Whenever I ask Brian to feel the baby performing acrobatic tricks, the baby will stop moving for awhile. I have to admit this has been an absolutely wonderful experience, feeling another human being - made out of half me and half Brian - growing inside. So much more than I had ever imagined. Can't wait to meet him.

The first picture was my belly at 31 weeks. The last two were taken at 29 weeks.
