Stuffies!

We're getting crafty over here!

I read that newborns respond well to high contrast colors. So I got to work and made four little black and white critters that can take the place of the rainforest creatures hanging above him in the crib until he's a few months old.

Hiking

We went hiking today near our house on a little path that has views of Sonoma to the north. Hopefully hiking everyday will encourage this baby to come soon! Akasha had fun playing in the water thankfully didn't terrorize any brown bunnies in the fields tonight. ;)

Little Hoodlum

Words of Wisdom

We are in the home stretch! Only a few more days until the baby arrives and our lives will be forever changed. Here are a few choice words for the baby from friends and family!

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.
- $1 for each answer ( $3 to guess all 3 )
