Almost but not yet...

Quickly another week has gone by. I was anxious all week in Montreal as I unsuccessfully tried to focus on the meeting and instead kept checking my cell phone for the labour call. All the worry was for nothing. It appears that Sushi is trying NOT to be an "early" person like I usually am and is already taking after Mushi... "Almost but not yet...", a famous saying from one of our dear friends came to mind as we anticipate Sushi's arrival this week.

The weekend was fun. The Cashews were in town pre-maturely this weekend. Little Cashew did not get to see her cousin, but she did test out Sushi's bedroom for her. From Cashew's expression, I think we have her approval. She continues to amaze Mushi and I on how quickly she is growing and learning. I will surely have my camera ready to capture Sushi's once in a lifetime moments.


Mommy Cashew came for a walk with Mushi and I in Steveston. Mama Cashew has been Mushi's best friend and mentor in the whole baby thing. Our moms are great but as we all know, sometimes we, as the 21st century tech savvy generation X, often question the validity and efficasy of the Baby boomers' advice and techniques. But then again, "You young people were the subjects of our techniques and you all turned out fine!" protests grandma Sushi. That's true : )

Well, gotta keep on waiting. I am the impatient one in the family, and it's always that much harder when it's near the end. I thank the Lord for giving Mushi good health and abundant joy during this pregnancy, and I also thank the Lord that He did not make men carry babies.

As we go forward... Cheers Mushi. You deserve all the ice cream you want!

PUSHI.
