Step away from the sushi. Do not touch the sushi. Pretend you do not see the sushi.
Over the course of the past 9 (10?) months, LL has received gobs of well-meaning, unsolicited advice on what to do and - more commonly - what not to do. The obvious nuggets of wisdom are related to alcohol, caffeine, and sushi. More precisely, our 3 primary food groups.
1. Alcohol. Meh...no big deal.
2. Caffeine. I guess you win some and lose some. Caffeine won this one -- just a cup in the morning to get the brain working.
3. Sushi. Whoa, Tokyo, we have a problem. But, I have to give her credit -- other than a couple of minnow-sized nibbles at some tuna last month, she pushed through and had no raw fish. Until last night.
We could never quite figure out a legitimate source of the fish ban, but she stuck by the rules. Would elle grow 3 ears? Have no belly-button? Cross-eyed? Whatever the outcome, we figured the since we were less than 48 hours from birth, she is probably done cooking, so let's go out in style. Keep your Uchi in your pants, because the best sushi in town can be found at Musashino. Short wait, zero attitude, and no silly teriyaki-infused seafoam reduction marinades stealing the flavor, just perfect fish.

We had a blast - and if elle comes out with 9 fingers, LL thinks it was worth it.

oh LL, you deserve some raw fishy fish for all the cooking you've been doing (in your womb) over the past nine months. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you today (Thursday), and I can't wait to hear the good news about your new little one.
love,

Ok, I am sooooo entertained by this blog it is wonderful! We have just received news in Bham that Elle is here--so start bloggin Joseph! Congrats to you three yippee!
Now regarding the blog:
1. I did eat sushi pregnant , although my 2 1/2 year old did tell me today that he does NOT want to be a vaccuum cleaner for Halloween, so the jury is still out on how raw rolls affected baby #1.
2. Joseph, if you do not have a Tivo, purchase one on your way home from the hospital. Project Runway at 3:00 in the morning during feedings gives me something to look forward to during the loneliest hour on earth.
3. When it gets really bad...my motto this go around is, hell, there are 2 worse places to be right now than my house: Beirut, and Kappa Kappa Gamma Rush Workshop at the U of A. (I change the 2 daily, Turkish prison, Boulder,CO you get the point...)
4. You'll be a great mom & dad, so just relax, the kids don;t even know when you're screwing up --hello--it's their first time at this too!(at least I hope mine have not caught on).
Miss you & love you
Many blessing from the basement in Bham :)
