Hrmm. I just noticed I haven't posted here in awhile. Also, I connected livejournal to my facebook... whatever that means. I don't know. I don't think anyone uses livejournal anymore or at least nobody reads mine. So... here's some photos I guess I started to post awhile ago and never did cuz it was saved as a draft. Enjoy (whoever reads this). For ( Read more... )

Elliot is seven months old. She's already standing up. She can't pull herself up yet but if you stand her up and give her something to hold onto, she can remain standing for minutes and could probably stand longer if she didn't keep trying to jump and/or walk. I still remember when all she did was lie around. When she couldn't even hold her head up ( Read more... )

I can't believe she's already 3 months old! And she's sitting up almost by herself now! At least, she does for a few seconds. She's getting there. Anyway, here are the pictures i promised! Elliot's first pictures of 2009! :o)

The pictures taken of Elliot in the hospital when she was 3 days old were absolutely incredible. So after ordering a package of them, my mom and I decided that it was time to get more professional photos taken of her now that she's older and bigger. We agreed that new pictures should be done about every month for her first year of life since babies ( Read more... )

Elliot's two month birthday is just a couple of days away and i just can not figure out where the time went. It feels like yesterday I saw her for the first time. I remember them lifting her up so i could catch an all too brief glimpse of her. And I remember thinking (and saying) "she's perfect. oh my god. she's perfect" over and over again in my ( Read more... )

Well, i've been home from the hospital for 3 days now. I'm sure nobody is surprised that i haven't been online to check my emails or anything like that. So i'm sure nobody is expecting an apology for any unanswered emails they have sent me in the last week or so. however, i apologize anyway. Crystal, i received your package and i absolutely adore ( Read more... )

I got a new outfit today which I think i like more than the original outfit i picked to be "Elliot's hospital outfit" aka "Elliot's first outfit" hehe. Anyway, it's ducky stuff (who is surprised?). It's the most adorable white outfit with matching cap and i also got matching booties and mittens as well as an adorable blankie that also matches. It's ( Read more... )

I went to the maternity ward today to get checked out. Currently, my cervix is pretty much closed, 50% effaced, and baby is at -2 station. This means she's not likely to come out for at least another couple days. So they scheduled me to be induced on Friday, Sept. 26th. That's a week from tomorrow. As frustrating as it is to think I might have to ( Read more... )

Anyone who read my last entry already knows that Jaje and I went to the hospital yesterday and had baby and me checked out as well as an ultrasound done. You will also know that the baby's sex was finally revealed to us. If you don't know yet, you are about to find out. It's a girl! We also got pictures from the ultrasound. So, without further ( Read more... )

Yom Kippur in Israel is a crazy day. I went outside to smoke a cigarette and was able to observe the natives from the safety of my 5th floor balcony.

These are some strange creatures. On this day, they gather in the streets for some kind of social interaction.
