And We're Back...

Back stateside since 7/11 (happy anniversary Jun and Mirim). We were picked up by our great neighbors Suk and Crystal and came home to a house that was nasty HOT. Looks like the hot weather had our poor AC running the whole time we were gone because my dad said that we should keep it set around 85 so that the hot weather doesn't damage our hardwood floors. So AC units don't like to work so hard and ours definitely quit on us. So for about a day and half we were without the great invention of air conditioning. Jee and I were both sweating just like when we were walking around the humid streets of Korea. Luckily my dad came by and diagnosed our AC unit. I got an extensive education on how it works, though I doubted in my mind that my dad could actually fix the thing. So as he opened it up he found that the blower motor had fried and we needed to get another one (for those of you who don't know my dad is a carpenter/selfmade handy man who can basically fix anything). So in short my dad fixed the motor and called in a friend to refresh our freon which from the sound of has been missing since day 1 we have been in the house. But now it is nice and cool in the house.

However, Jee hasn't fully recovered from the trip to Korea. Still jetlagged (she is sleeping next to me as I write this) and still not feeling 100% (nausea/vomiting). Not sure if the time change on the adjusting of the body has anything to do with it, but she still isn't feeling so good, along with all the other crazy pregnancy symptoms she's got. Can you believe this is what the baby looks like?
It actually looks like a baby. It's about 5 inches and weights 5 oz. Jee says the baby is moving like crazy inside and I have yet to be able to feel it. She said the DR says I won't be able to feel it for another month. But right now the baby's nervous system is developing (nerd alert). So all the neural pathways are starting to set themselves down and all the senses are developing. Man I wish I paid closer attention in Neuro Anatomy.

So next week, we have the chance to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. For me, I'm still not 100% sure if I want to find out or not, but for Jee, she is 100% ready to find out. So from what I've been told the wife usually has the final say. But we still have a week to figure it out. I've also started working a new part time job so that we have some money to spend on the baby hopefully.

1.5 months till our 1 year anniversary and when school starts, 2 months till the start of HOKIE football, 5 months till the baby comes (holy crap!)
