So I wake up feeling like crap.  Oh well this whole weeks been like this.  But this morning Lisa wasn’t feeling it either.  So she asks me ” Wanna just stay home and hang out together?”  Oh, but of course!!  All this on a BEAUTIFUL 90 degree California sunny day. Ditch day for sure!  So we had to “pretend” we were going to work, for the parents sake and got ready and left to go eat breakfast and spend our day in Torrance.  We later went to Anaheim to go pick up the babies stroller at Bergstrom’s. Then we later hung out at our new house in Carson.

Lisa Update:  Back is killing her.  She doesn’t know if she can make it to 40 weeks.  She feels like a huge whale.  Constantly trying to get comfortable.  Feeling really really tired like in the beginning of the pregnancy.

So these last couple of weeks have been pretty much the same old routine.  I’m not complaining but this is just how are schedule has been lately.  I actually kind of like it.  Good old family time.  I would say that the whole time living at the Gardena house that this is the most QT time I’ve spent with the parents.  The last couple of weekends have been a very interesting and bonding experience dealing with the house and installing the new stuff.  From the OTR microwave, to the washer/dryer, to the sofa and then finally the bed.  I’ve learned that we’re not alone and we’re all in this together.  Which is nice.  All this house stuff has been really tiring, but also exciting at the same time.  I like working and building stuff for the house and seeing it all slowly come together.  All the work put in makes me appreciate the house that much more.  It’s already gaining it’s sentimental value.  So, anyway,  the last couple of weeks have been American Idol, NBA Playoffs,  Our House, and Baby stuff.  Then repeat.  Almost there, almost over.  For everything!…. Well, not over, the BEGINNING! 🙂

So this is week 36 photo session number 2!  She’s a lot bigger, super cute and almost ready to come out.  I really hope she’s on time.  Not early, not late, just around that May 24th window.

Lisa Update:  Oh em gee.  Lisa has been really struggling with her back lately.  I guess the weight is really putting a strain on her.  Well, i guess it doesn’t help that she’s still working AND doing  a lot of stuff for our house.  She’s still in fairly good spirit, but, she is definitely having more and more extremely uncomfortable days.

So this day Lisa’s comfort level would have to be around a 2 out of 10.  Very annoyed and uncomfortable.  Body aches, loss of breath and overall just crappy.  She didn’t want me to take a picture.  She also said “SERIOUSLY, NO!”.  So, what did i do?  I took them anyway. lol  Tough luck mama, i need footage.  As you can see in the pictures she is NOT a happy camper.  I felt bad and gave her an amazing massage that night, which made her wake up the next morning feeling wonderful!!

So this was a night where we celebrated Andy’s Birthday.  We feasted on Lobster, Crab AND shrimp!!  Plus King’s Hawaiian rainbow cake.  Reeeeaaally good eating while also watching some playoffs!

Lisa Update:   This was also week 34 for Lisa and we are now at the stage of a birth day countdown.  This day she felt really tight.  Not so cranky and her mood was overall pretty good.  She didn’t feel frumpy enough to not wanna take pictures so i took them. Her back was a little sore but not at the stage where it was unbearable.

So this is the week of birthdays.  Michelle, Andy and Cary.  We all celebrated Michelle’s over at Bottega Louie’s which was really good.  The food was good, the price wasn’t too steep and overall the environment and people were cool.  We later went to a place called the “Library Lounge” to chill and have a couple of drinks.  Another good night with good company.

So Lisa has reached the stage where she can no longer see her feet! lol On the plus side, she can now rest things on her belly.  Also, her belly is her own personal backstop for spillage.  Such as food, drinks, and drool from toothpaste.

So this is Lisa at 34 weeks.  I had just came home from a long day of work and seeing my very beautiful pregnant wife sitting on the couch greeting me, made me want to take a picture!  Keep in mind that these pictures were taken minutes after waking up from a quick nap.  So she’s normally not this swollen in the face and the belly.   She says that she feels really big, but i reminded her that she only feels big because she just ate……  5 hours ago. 🙂 Anyway, SHE’s not getting bigger, the baby is! Right? Riiiiiigght. lol

BTW, I love it how Lisa’s belly peeks out of the bottom of some of her clothes now. 😛

Just like 50 Cent! Lisa had to have her heart monitored for 24 hours, so she wore this battery packed monitor system attached to her body.  She has what they call SVT.  This was due to her having an abnormal heart rhythm.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is any tachycardic rhythm originating above the  ventricular  tissue.  Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a rapid rhythm of the heart which involves an accessory pathway. This is in contrast to the potentially deadlier ventricular tachycardias, which are rapid rhythms that originate within the ventricular tissue or atrioventricular (AV) node.

So here’s the start of her wardrobe collection! This is one of many times we would make a purchase, then go through our entire collection and ask each other which is “cutest”. Then repeat the process when something new is bought.

So Lisa got a haircut! She says that it would be her last opportunity in a looooong time, so she had to do it.  Well, i’m glad she did because it came out really good.  So once again i feel the need to take pictures.  Plus i have feel we haven’t been taking enough.  My original plan was to take hundreds so that we can look back and have like a full scrapbook of the full pregnancy.  Hopefully we can do that, and continue to document everything after this whole pregnancy is over.

Lisa Update: So at this time Lisa feels like she is  “big”and is starting to look really pregnant.  Her back is starting to get painful through the day.  But the pains are still here and there and not all the time.

This was from the long awaited baby shower.  Planned by the Korean Martha Stewart’s. 🙂  Good company made for a good day.
