Water Break

Well... Rieko's water broke so she's in the hospital now awaiting contractions!

Not much longer now I think?

Baby Updates.

We had our regularly scheduled baby appointment today. Looks like she'll wait until her expectation date. - maybe 8/3? We have an appointment for next week to listen to her stomach to see how the baby is and another one for the week after... if it all fails looks like we'll be getting her pushed out after all on 8/12.

Right now we're waiting and seeing... it seems like some fluid came out... don't know if it's amniotic or not... waiting and seeing.

Cycling

After a while of not cycling, it was my first day in a while to make it all the way to work and back. ... I've found that runkeeper is acting weird... when I turn it on, it works nicely and tracks my data, sends me updates every kilometer etc, but, even though it updates me all the way to the finish, it doesn't really record to the finish... and.. I can't use my keyboard, send or receive mesages or anything... it pretty much nukes my phone and I have to reset it.. .. great right?
-.-
Well.. anyway.. I did 70km today, going to work I did 24km in the first hour, then 11km in the next 40 min -- curse you Tokyo traffic lights and traffic.

So.. since I burned (burnt?) so many calories, I tried out some new food from Family Mart. They're all new items in the convenience store and they were pretty good... with the exception of the pepsi... seriously.. pepsi makes some weird drinks -- I'm proud/ashamed to say that I've tried most of them:
PEPSI ICE CUCUMBER - 2007
PEPSI Blue Hawaii PINEAPPLE&LEMON - 2008
PEPSI WHITE PEPSI&YOGURT FLAVOR - 2008
PEPSI SHISO JAPANESE REFRESHING FLAVOR - 2009
PEPSI Azuki - 2009
pepsi BAOBAB REFRESHING COLA FLAVOR - 2010
pepsi Mont Blanc - 2010
pepsi CARIBBEAN GOLD WHITE SAPOTE FLAVOR - 2011
pepsi PINK strawberry and milk flavor - 2011
pepsi Salty Watermelon - 2012

Here's a shot of lunch with pepsi salty watermelon to wash it down:

Ok.. well.. it wasn't actually terrible.. but it wasn't great. The shrimp croquette sandwich was alright, the soup had a lemon I squeezed into it and it wasn't so great with lemon, but the fried chicken was good!

Work is so busy these days with the programming projects, and everything else, and now I have a new project to look over and maybe start a super long new programming project in addition to the regular daily stuff... YaY!
Oh by the way... I was thinking on the way home how to compare Java to Javascript... they're about as similar Ass is to Assassin (I couldn't think of any other comparisons) >.< but yeah.. they're drastically different!

Riding the bike today was a blessing since due to all the business I haven't really gotten as much exercise as I was thinking I'd do each week this month. Also, my guitar practice has fallen to the wayside...

Dinner was great tonight! Rieko makes a nice chunky beef stew :) No pictures though because my phone was in time-out.

Baby Bed

Shucks howdy!
I've been getting 1-10 views a day then I forget to post on Monday and... well so much for that!! I don't know if my ads ever appeared, I don't think they did, so I turned them off anyway!

We're in the final stretch! Tomorrow could be our last scheduled check-up before the baby comes, so I made the baby bed yesterday. Compared to building a chest of drawers from scratch, putting the baby bed together was a snap! I don't think it even took an hour, and I managed to use all the pieces and have none left over! how great is that?

Here are some pics of it:

Monday monday!

Oops! This is a late post for Monday.

So busy on Mondays, have to go to the office, do some work early, come home work some more.. My programming is coming along nicely.. I was running it with just html from php, but while it is fast, it's not flexible... today I'm trying to pull the data into a JSON object then play with it in JQUERY... hopefully it will be faster, but at least it will be more flexible.. here goes!

I was thinking about making a widget for the olympics, but with the baby on the way, when will that happen?!

in closing, have a nice pic!

Black blood of death...

 This coffee was made with a "special roast" and steeped in the refrigerator for about 36 hours... note the serious black color... I'd like to try it with a better brew because really... it tastes like punishment... like when you're a kid, you have a dare to drink the nastiest thing you can find... this is it :(

This is Lily after drinking it... note the painful contortions and spasms she's having... j/k she didn't drink it, but that's what I feel like after drinking it.

BぉGBぉgbぉg

The title says it all right?

Lately, I just can't settle down, agreed, work is getting more hectic, but, knowing that we're under 2 weeks until our baby is born just drives me crazy some nights!!! I'm a cool mother -- *shut your mouth* -- and don't really get worked up, and I especially have a difficult time telling the love of my life, so I thought I'd put some low grey shoe on it and drop some letters on it! Where are my low grey shoes? Well.. I left them somewhere in high school when I was studying for the S.A.T's .. (does the test have "."'s between each letter?  Is my punctuation correct? More importantly.. has anyone been checking!?!?!?!

I'm stuck in this programming dilemma... I just can't wrap my head around how to send it out.

anyway.. enjoy the matsuri while I figure it out:
