"Each & every time you smile
My heart turns to cream
& every time you smile, love
a smile comes from me
I may not be there always
To catch every single one
but the ones that mommy catches
Will always be remembered, hun."

my sweeeeeetest little munchie is two weeks old by tomorrow! & those two weeks with him have been wonderful!! I'm looking forward to the next one, and the next!
today Dan & Tirz & their adorable family came to visit Jason. Amie was the sweetest, cutest little "nanny" ever. she was so good at holding Jason, he fell asleep in her arms! he definitely liked her:) thank you guys SO much for the super-duper bread bag! I loved it, and ate MOST of it already! *blush* i'm finally able to let myself indulge in some good stuff, so...HEEHEE, yes, I'm taking advantage of it:p Amie, you DEFINITELY have to come back and put Jason to sleep for me again sometime soon:)

as for the photo, that's my charming adorable son! don'tcha just looove him:) ><

Jason had his first happy nappy accident today.
yup. and mika & aunty lainy were there to be a fun part of it! well...they got to laugh & enjoy the moment while I got shot with poo--not to mention the bedsheets and floor. too bad joe couldn't be there to witness it (since Jason likes to poop during the times daddy changes him). OOH WELL!
Jazy-boy, next time let's not poop on mommy & save her the trouble of running around scrubbing things:)

FOR LAINY

I'm sure you'll all enjoy these ones...

I DID!!

one night I walked into my room and found Joe and Lainy in a heated debate...I just HAD to grab my camera:p
poor lainy...she really looks like she's going through it..

I'm throwing some random photos into this post, since I said I would post some of these but never got around to doing it--thot it wud be MUCH easier if I just threw em all in and you can figure out which ones go to the different events that happened:p
LOVE YOU!

Jason's now one week old!
hard to believe that only a week ago I didn't know what it was like to have him in my life; & now I can't imagine it without him.
he's turning out to be a real good sleeper--allowing me and Joe some extra sleep! loves his pacifier, & anything to do with sucking. (which I'm sooooooo thankful for!! since I remember some of my younger brothers & sisters hating everything other than 'the boob') he's the sweeeetest thing & melts my heart by even just lying there asleep:) sucha good boy; makes me and Joe so proud!
another week will pass, & another one, & soon he won't be so tiny anymore. which is why I'm getting off now to go cuddle him & bother him with my one thousand kisses. ><

My Beautiful Love!!

My adorable, wonderful, completely lovable son, is finally here!
After the long nine months and extra week, Jason Tyler Hirasawa was born Wednesday, September 24th, at 10:19 P.M. a happy and healthy 50 centimeters and weighing 3.05 killo baby.
Thank you SO much for all your prayers and back-up in the spirit! I couldn't have made it through without you.
He's a real calm, totally the sweetest little one and a half day old baby boy! I'm so happy he's finally here with us!

you're late
we wanna meet you
getting so impatient
we wanna squeeze you too

we wanna kiss you
on your hands and feet
nose, toes,
and chubby cheeks

hurry on out,
little bugger
can't wait until
we are with each other

-love mommy & daddy

September 16th of 2008,(yesterday!) the due date of my baby, but not his birth! I know it’s unlikely that babies pop out all the time right smack on their due date, but I was kind of hoping this one would! Each night I’m asked, “Any contractions yet?!” Oh well…I guess I could use these few extra days to stare at my tummy and feel my waddle before it all disappears. Tee hee. I can’t say these nine months have flown by, but they definitely haven’t crawled. It’s been a very easy, smooth pregnancy, something I always find myself thanking the Lord for, since it could have thrown in some of the major aches and pains which I have thankfully escaped from! I’ve actually enjoyed my pregnancy, (you know…with the excuse of being pregnant you get a load of good things…but if Joe still allows it, I’ll remain a little bratty with my fruit cravings even after the pregnancy..shhhh) and just might miss it! But not for a looong while, since I’m more then eagerly awaiting those good old cocktails, starbucks coffees, jeans and tops that just don’t fit me at the moment, exercises and sleeping on my tummy! Ooh, the tummy sleeping…something I miss sooo so much, and can’t wait to get back to!:) I think I just might miss those times when this baby starts to kick up a storm and move around like a wild thing, it’s a wonderful feeling I still can’t get over, and he is able to get my whole attention each time he does it! but once he’s born there’ll be way too many cooler memories and times with him, so I’m looking forward to that!:) As for now, my long walks and stair climbs will continue, and those cartons of yogurt will keep being devoured. Yay! Maybe my next post will include photos of my darling sweetie pie son, but then again, we never know!

OUTBACK!

the other night we went out for dinner to Outback! had a real good time eating tons of real good food:) spent QUITE a bit of money...but it was special! hee hee. sort of a "celebration" on finishing school for the both of us (me N Joe! yay) marriage..and maybe one last "free" night out before the baby pops out! (but of course we're looking forward to the chub joining in with us next time :-D)
here's the photos..most of them are pretty strange, I don't think Outback brought a very "calm" spirit. especially to Joe, who usually gets a bit loud and crazy whenever he goes there! although we had nothing alcoholic to drink, I'm sure they spiked something. or maybe it's just their food...
OH WELL!!
all to say, had a good night, and hope you enjoy these photos where most of us are making stupid faces!!

and I LOOOOVED the dessert! it was a GIANT cookie with ice-cream and chocolate on top! I've never tasted something so good in ages! it made me so happy!
there was also the best part of hearing all the waiters and waitresses saying "GOOD DAY MATE" to every single person who walked in the door;) Australian accents make that phrase what it is...but then Japanese...
