Sushi Fun!!

Now that both Mushi and I have "sort of" adjusted to our new life, I thought I'd take some time to update the blog. The past two days seem blurred now with so much action. I feel like we've had Sushi for a week, but in reality, she is just a little over 2 days old... ha... This is the only time I am glad that a good time isn't going by fast. The take home lesson is this. If you want a good time to last, wake up and feed every three hours.

Let's go back to the beginning. Here is Sushi on the scale showing us who the champ is. I stared at my new boss with a proud smile. As you can see, she weights 6 lbs 3 oz and measures 51 cm long. She is thin and long just like her daddy!!

As an overwhelmed and over excited father, I just couldn't stop myself from pressing that camera shutter button. The funny thing is that I hated it when my dad always took pictures of us boys when we were young, and I guess that particular "gene" did pass down to me. Anyways, I find newborns so interesting because of all the learning they have to do to survive. I saw Sushi learn how to be fed, how to communicate (well, that one is fast, CRY, but to different degrees, mild, moderate, and severe), and how to pass gas and other unpleasantries through her system.
Here is a small collection of her still-quite-limited-emotions. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.








God has given me great women in my life. What can I say about Mushi. Watching the sacrifices she made to bring Sushi into this world gave me a whole new appreciation for mothers. Mushi is alreay an awesome mom and Sushi is lucky to have her as her mother. I want to thank another awesome woman in my life, grandmashi, for all her help. It has made the transition much much smoother.

Finally, Mushi and I want to say thank you to all of you who have been praying for us throughout this incredible journey. I really did not appreciate the pregnancy to the full extent until the moment I saw Sushi arrive in style. We loved every second of it, and we will do it again (well, I better check with Mushi first) !!!
