Just for FUN...Who Does Abigail Look Like NOW?!?

Abigail is going to think her parents are absolutely insane but that's totally OK with us!  What's the point of being a parent if you can't enjoy every moment of the experience!?!

Anyway...you probably saw my original post last week, Who Does Abigail Look Like? (and if you didn't, head over there and weigh in!)...so Mommy and Daddy thought they'd do something fun in their downtime...

Break out the fish eye lens!

Hahaha...check out these incredibly flattering photos (please note: extreme sarcasm)...so who does she look like NOW?!?    

Oh...and be warned...these are SCARY (but kinda funny)

PS - Abigail had her very first professional photo shoot at 8 days old yesterday...stay tuned for some of the amazing pictures Brooke Bryand took!  Luckily, there was NO fish eye lens in that shoot!

We Feel So Loved!

Since Abigail joined the world a week ago today, we have been extremely blessed with overwhelming (and much appreciated) love and support from our friends and family...and for me, that includes the friends I've met through this blog.  

I just wanted to say thank you ALL for your kind words, wonderful support, and LOVE.

Thanks to Lia over at Ramblings of a Singleton for this very special Congrats post...{Click Here}

And thanks to the wonderful team over at HealthTap for your encouragement and excitement...{Click Here}

Oh...and while I'm here, I might as well include a photo of this little princess, right?  Here she is amongst some of her new best friends.

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 23: a Video

This was supposed to be my challenge last Friday but I was having a tough time uploading the original video I selected...I'm actually glad it didn't work out because now I get to share this short clip with you.

After multiple attempts (again) to upload this sucker, I finally learned how to upload it to YouTube and "embed it" into my blog (I'm so technologically advanced...and yes, that's a joke) .  Hopefully it works for everyone!

Here's a look at the very beginning of our day last Saturday...around 3:30am...thank you Hubby for being on top of things (as usual).  I feel a bit vulnerable posting this video (probably because I'm in my super sexy hospital gown), but it's too special not to share...

ENJOY!  

Who Does Abigail Look Like???

I have always been terrible at deciding which parent a baby looks most like...

Having Abigail, I thought I would be better at this guessing game...but I won't lie - I'm still terrible.  Maybe it's because she's only 5 days old, but I still can't figure out who she looks like...Mommy or Daddy...or is she a little bit of both?  People who haven't met her yet keep asking me and I'd like to have a better answer than "I really have no idea." 

Since I can't decide, I thought I'd post a picture of Abigail as a Newborn...Mommy as a newborn...and Daddy as a newborn...

So let's have some fun with this...who does Abigail look most like?  Mommy, Daddy or both?  (and sorry...these are the best pics I could find of Mommy and Daddy that were already on my computer!)

Abigail - 5 Days (aka - Newborn Status)

Sushi??? Yes PLEASE!!!

What did I miss the most these past 39.3 weeks (other than having a defined waist and sharing a lovely bottle of wine with my husband at special dinners)?

Easy.

SUSHI!!!

So what did we have for dinner last night?

Youuuuu guessed it!  SUSHI!!!

And not just any sushi...we ordered from Sushi Bistro, one of the best sushi joints in San Francisco.  And in the interest of this blog, my wonderful hubby sent me a list of the items we ordered...so what did we have?

Edamame

albacore dream

spicy tuna and avocado topped with albacore, served with house special and spicy sauce.

billie jean

baby lobster, avocado, cucumber wrapped with soy paper and aioli and topped with salmon.

philadelphia roll

big island

salmon, tuna, albacore & tobiko, snow crab meat, avocado and sprouts wrap inside a thinly sliced cucumber

equinox

Let me tell you...it was WELL worth the wait (though I'm very glad I can have it any time I want now!).  Woohoo!

Here are some pictures of our feast...and two of Abigail because I just can't help myself :)  

Smiling because she's in her favorite place to sleep...her car seat!

Introducing Little Miss Abigail

For those of you who may be wondering where I've been the past few days, I thought I'd post a quick update.

Let me start by saying that it's a good thing we didn't head down south for my best friend's Wedding on Saturday...

Why?

Because early Saturday morning I went into labor and mid day Saturday, little Miss Abigail decided to make her entrance into this world a few days early!

We're happy to report that we're all happy, healthy and bursting with love (a phrase my little Momma has used for as long as I can remember...now I truly understand the meaning of it!).

We are so overwhelmingly excited to introduce Abigail, born on Saturday, January 22nd, at 1:37pm...weighing in at 7 pounds and measuring 21" long...

The love of our lives...and now I'm officially a 7x7xMommy...WOOHOO!!!

 

30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 22: a Favorite Joke

This may sound totally lame, but I don't have a Favorite Joke.

I most definitely cannot think of one off the top of my head, that's for sure...

I honestly just went to Google and typed in "dumb jokes" because I know I like dumb jokes...I just don't know any of them. 

Lame. 

I LOVE laughing...don't get me wrong...I'm just not going to sit here and search for a joke I think is funny...

Bad post.  Failed this Challenge.  Looking forward to the next one. 

Until tomorrow!  For now, just go check out {The Bump Report} because it's much better than this post...
