So, Chuperman and I paid a visit to the dentist over the wkend. Not like I didn't know this before but the dentist kindly reminded me again that my teeth are crooked and that I need braces. Most ppl don't find my teeth offensive b/c i have a small mouth with small teeth haha. He encouraged me to get braces now when I'm relatively young, instead of when I'm like 60. Why didn't I get em in junior high?! Cuz my teeth were fine back then. I think my teeth have traveled and become "overcrowded", and now i'm stuck with a worsening crooked overbite.
So, I'm on the great big hunt for a good orthodontist in the Irvine/Newpopo area. I'm willing to travel a 10-15 mile radius outside Irvine if the orthodontist is that good. So, anyone want to recommend their orthodontist to me?
Hopefully I can get away with just invisilign!

5 months 1 wk old!
Where does the time go?! My posts have been rather scant lately... my bad! It's a combination of minimal access to my own laptop (had to use chuperman's desktop and laptop), lack of pix uploaded (chuperman has been plenty busy, uploading pix is usually his job), and constantly tending to lil jacob!
So, where do I begin? Well, let's just start from the most recent since my memory is getting worse by the second.
Mommy trying to relive carefree days with Ottergirl! I spent a good part of my wkend with my high school friend Ottergirl and her fam. After Jacob went to bed last Thurs night, I was able to sneak out and drive down scenic PCH to my hometown - Dana Point/Laguna Niguel, to see Ottergirl and her family. I thought I was arriving after they had dinner to celebrate her dad's 60th bday, but in fact, dinner started really late and I arrived perfectly on time to accidentally crash their dinner party. doh haha... We had a grand ole time chowing down on lamb chops, eating cake and ice crm, and running down to the Bat Cave for more fine wine. I didn't really know what I was drinking, but it was damn good. It's always a good thing when the wine is a flowin! I also had some cocktails - 2 grapefruit juice & tequila drinks. Surprisingly, my tolerance was really high that night! They informed me that grapefruit juice is a diuretic, which in fact negates the affects of alcohol. Perhaps explains my non-drunk state for the evening. Skinteresting eh?
Then the next evening, Chuperman, Chuperbaby and I tried mtng up with Ottergirl & Co. at the Beachcomber of Crystal Cove but they were running a bit late, so we took the opportunity to take some pix (COMING SOON) and to satisfy our hungry tummies while we waited by scarfing down an order of delicious fried calamari at the bar of Beachcomber. We also saw a school of friendly dolphins showing off their jumping skills really close to the beach!
Anyway, Chuperbaby was so cuute at the bar. We sat him right on top of the bar, and he kept looking around - left,right, left, right - observing the frenzy of waiters, food carried atop flying saucers:P, and hungry customers. It was quickly approaching his bed time so we had to leave soon thereafter. We briefly saw Ottergirl & Co., but Chuperbaby urged us to take him back home:P
The next day, which would be Saturday, Ah-Ma was super nice enough to watch Chuperbaby for the day! So I headed back down to DP to chill with Ottergirl & Co. on their boats docked in the Dana Point Harbor. In the AM, we went out to sea on the big boat. It was a bit choppy and i could have easily been tossed off the boat:P Then we had a lovely lunch at DP Yacht Club. I had the most scrumptious French Dip sandwiche and a bloody mary. Then I had to pump (on the boat - in the galley) haha. A few moments later we headed back onto the water, but this time on the smaller boat. It was super duper nice and relaxing. We cruised around DP harbor, which is much more calm then the rough waters (for which I was thankful for). There were plenty o party peeps chugging down various cocktails while navigating their boats haha. I had to leave, but the crew ended up going back to the club for more drinks! I just can't keep up! I'm so weak.
Thanks Ottergirl and family for the good times!! I felt young again.. like the good ole carefree high school and college days=D
(DANA POINT HARBOR PIX PENDING OTTERGIRL - since i had to bring my pump, a cooler to put the liquid gold in, and change of clothes, i forgot to bring my camera that day - damnit)
Back To Reality - It was a super exhausting wkend for me b/c I, in fact, get seasick. So all day Saturday I was having trouble walking in a straight line. My tummy also felt weird too haha.
And, it seems like my poor baby has caught a cold. Darnit. It's his 3rd cold since he started daycare=/ NOT COOL.
On top of Jacob having a cough and runny nose, my patience is wearing thin. It's been 5.5months and I would like to give-up on BFing. I feel like im running a marathon race - I have to just keep on going and going and going until I reach the finish line, which is Jacob's 1yr old bday on January 2, 2009! Feeding my baby au naturale and the pumping is taking a toll on me. The constant feeding and pumping is just not cool. Even when the baby sleeps through the night, I still have to wake-up in the middle of the night. I know.... whine whine whine, I am so ungrateful... I just wish I could sleep for 10 hrs straight and finally catch up on sleep- without waking up to pain and discomfort. I'm constantly walking around like a zombie. I need some major encouragement and a kick in the bum.
On a happier note, it's all worth the pain, sleepless nights, and tears of frustration - especially when I look at Jacob and see that he's growing up quite nicely. He is just so mild tempered for a baby. Jacob is more independent these days. He's okie with laying around by himself now haha. Chuperbaby doesn't constantly need to be held. He likes the swing and kickpad much better than before. Jacob is an excellent feeder and he still sleeps a lot! Even though he has a cold, he still is able to sleep for a solid 10.5hrs straight. I am 100% positive that he got the sleeping gene from me haha. Jacob definitely got the eating gene from BOTH mommy and papa piggy=P haha. Chuperbaby is overweight for his height haha. We'll prob start solids next month. He's turned over a few times already and can scoot in reverse, forwards, mini U-turns haha
Taken last week. Chuperbaby in a well-insulated (more like over insulated, literally appropriate for the arctic) polar bear costume hahaa
Im done pumping, time to hit the hay! Will post pix as soon as they're uploaded!!
