Hypno-ed Out

Kyle is officially a hypnotist! I am officially tired of hearing the word 'peeeeaaaaacccceeee'.

We completed our Hypnobabies Childbirth class last week and it was quite the experience! After hours of listening to a zoned out female voice telling us to 'relaaaaaaax' and 'clooooooose your eyyyyyyyes' we are able to recite nearly 6 cds word for word of hypnosis technique. Watch out, we are planning on dishing out chores to visiting relatives next month! ;)

Seriously though, the class was actually fun and we received 1 on 1 personal attention from the hypnosis instructor ( who was a P O officer earlier in life! ). Even though we have and hour of homework and exercises assigned to us everynight and will continue until the baby is born, the class taught us how to meditate under extreme stress and 'peace out' while in pain. As an added bonus, our instructor cooked us a meal everytime we met! How wonderful is that?!

'hippest parents'

We were awarded the "Hippest Parents in SF" last month for 'bringing' the baby to the Bay Area's Love Fest. ( a title I hope we can hold on to for another few years at least )

A title that was greatly deserved after being herded and squashed in a sea of grimey teenagers, dressed in wild costumes that would put Madonna's closet to shame, dancing to 15 or so different rhythmic bass-y beats coming from the circle of festival floats surrounding us. After 2 1/2 hours our ear drums were telling us it was time to go! Onto the next big auditory adventure, Dubstep in the Mission.

One thing is for sure, this kid will be well rounded in musical tastes by the time he's born! I just hope he dances like his dad. ;)

Baby Pool

I'm going to post the baby pool up on the blog ( fun idea Grammy Kiki and Pappy Ty! ) so keep checking back for new entries!

The Rules :
- Guess the Due Date of the baby, the Time he is born, and his Weight.

Nursery Ready for Little Monkey!

2 Months, -2 Days, not that we are counting or anything. ;)


Kyle surprised me yesterday by building the crib! I arrived home to our collection of jungle friends chilling together waiting for the baby's arrival. This super lucky crib-dweller-to-be even has his own rainforest ambiance mobile that has been quality tested by his parents, and yes, is very soothing. I just hope the insanely happy monkey hanging above him won't give him nightmares!

Baby Shower in San Diego

Thank you to the Lam Family for throwing us such a lovely shower to welcome the Munchkin!


The crew in San Diego, such a great shot!

The cake was absolutely adorable and the monkey is now tucked away waiting for the munchkin.

Narrowly escaping the 'icing nose' syndrome.

Akasha checking out Trevor, Lindsay and Marc's baby boy. Can I volunteer her as the #1 Diaper Changer in the house?? I think she's actually like that job.


Kyle's envisioning tagging the baby's booty with diaper cream. Lucky munchkin to have such artistic parents. ;)

The parent's to be! ( This is a 'before' shot, notice NO bags under the eyes yet )

So cute, he's a natural entertainer!

Grandma Kiki.

Grand Daddy Ty.

Uncle Kolby.

Baby Shower in San Francisco

Thanks for flying all the way out the west coast, Mom, to celebrate with us at the shower. We're catching up on good children's stories here.



Mom actually knitted this blanket!

She looks so cute, eagerly awaiting a falling morsel of brunch.

Working on the munchkin's story book quilt...

Happy messages to baby!
