Weeks or months?

before i was pregnant, i never understood why women would say 24 weeks.  why not say 6 months?!  or 28 weeks.  why not just say 7 months?!  it almost annoyed me.  but i think i get it now.  our bodies change so quickly each week that we, or at least i, track my own pregnancy journey week by week.  actually, sometimes day by day.  i swear there's always somethin' new happening to my body that's foreign/weird/kinda gross/amazing...you get the picture.  anyways, i just thought i'd shed some light on this ever so important subject of stating a woman's pregnancy progress in weeks vs months ;-)

i'm thinking that's why when you ask a mom how old her child is she'll say 14 months, or 18 months, or whatever their child's age is in months.  this puzzled me as well, before i became pregnant.  but i'm thinking now about it, and it's probably because babies grow so fast and are developing and changing so quickly that from 12 months, their child can be totally different at 14 months.  am i right moms?

and now, because it's my blog and i can post whatever i want...even if it's totally unrelated...i'll leave you with a few no a lot of photos of my 2 lovable rugrats at the park.

even if this photo of bubba is overexposed, i had to include it b/c
he's too stinkin' cute. 

again, i don't care about bubba practically glowing.  he's too adorable.

while bubba takes the cake for being cute.  my joey biscuit is just so handsome.

he's blind, so he's constantly sniffing the ground.


my jojo in action.

aah yes, a shot with both of them together. 

hehe, you get to see jojo's white booty.

handsome i tell you.  handsome.


don't let bubba fool you.  he's no puppy, even tho he looks like one.



anyone who has walked my dogs knows this about jojo.  at any given
notice, he will just sit.

it can be a bit annoying and embarrassing if others are around.  it sometimes
comes to the point where i have to carry him home.
oh well...i'll do it, because i love him.

all 3 of us were just trying to enjoy our last few days of fall before it starts to rain.  and as a closure, i'll leave you with this photo.

thank goodness i can still see my toes!

My birthday kick off :: Part 2

when my brother got home he surprised me with a sweet birthday card and baby gabriella's first gift.

of course he had to get her 49er's gear.
btw, i'm sot so sure about stripes anymore...
then we headed to san mateo with my parents to celebrate my birthday at himawari.  so far ramen dojo takes the cake.  but himawari was good too.  overall, this has got to be one of the best birthday kick offs for me.  i really have to count my blessings!  34 ain't too shabby ;-)












i am stuffed!  the birthday marathon takes a break tomorrow (gotta work), but then friday is cotogna and sat is dinner with my cousins.  life is good.

Ramen craving.

i have been craving for ramen for 2 weeks now, thanks to my 2 friends who went without me...thanks a lot shar and sana ;-)

thoughts of spicy, hearty, flavorful broth, with perfectly cooked ramen noodles, savory pork, corn, roasted seaweed, earthy shitake mushrooms, and a single grand quail egg to top it off have been flooding my brain and making my mouth water.

in preparation for our work week (friday is actually john's and my monday), he graciously agreed to go to san mateo so that i could get my ramen fix.  ramen dojo converted john into a ramen lover!  that tells you that this place is gooooood.

and now for some photos...

we got there at 1pm on a thursday and there was a line!

pork belly = yum
roasted seaweed = yum
corn = yum
roasted garlic = yum
ramen dojo = yuuuuuum




i was so happy when i found out that
yogurtland opened in burlingame.
it was a perfect ending to a
lovely afternoon.
