Maximus Leonidas Otto

In the hospital

It was A Big decision to put me in the picture

but I know baby will steal the show!

How fat&puffy I am won't matter!

New Hot Daddy!


He already starts to touch his face with his fingers.


It was funny when we put him in the car seat, he sleeps so well and doesn't cry.

We had 3 hour straight sleep after putting him in the car seat.

I didn't know 3 hour sleep could help a lot!



November 23rd, around 8:30 in the morning, I felt something!

Yes... My Water Broke.. I was panic and called my Doc first.

Jasmine:blah blah blah ..Should I go to the hospital?

Doc: Come to the hospital!

and then I called Alex to pick me up.

I was so nervous..and scary.

It was 2 weeks ealier than my due oh~~

When we got to the hospital and checked my body,

we moved to the new(delivery) room it was around 9am.

Yes.. right after we moved to the new room, my painful contraction started!

I was crying, my mom was cooking SEAWEED SOUP for me, I needed my mom so bad!

Suddenly every things came up to my mind those short moment;

"what my mom has done for me "

it made me miss her so much!

I called my mom and asked when she can finish cooking..

Alex went home after making sure from Doc that I am not going to deliver our baby soon.



Yes!!! F I N A L L Y!

Maximus Leonidas Otto was born November 23rd, at 8:08 at night!



We couldn't catch when Max's eyes wide open,

when he opens his eyes, really looks like Alex!

I am still figuring out, what looks who~

I can see a little bit of Rick, too.

Rick +Alex?



Alex is already A great Daddy!

My mom helps Cleaning, cooking and near by my mom is also A great comfort!

I love them all so much!

and realized Thanks/blessings!

Last Month Pregnancy Pictures!

I bouth this black Maturnity dress for sale 35$ in the internet.

Actually it was the cheapest and ok style, the other ones were too expensive!


I kind of like White T shirts + Jeans,
fits well any kind of pictures and easy to prepare!
but I kind of picked a little bit femine one than just T-shirt.

I love this picture ^^

This one is our favorite!! but we didn't pick this one for the keep.

Turtle is saying "See you in December!"

I picked this one in the internet!

we picked this one for keeping in the photo frame..^^

You can click the photos if you want to see larger size^^

This is our photo we took in the studio! We actually prepared 3 set of cloths(they requried), one is formal, second is casual, thrid one is free style. I even bought black maturnity dress(sale) and even ordered couple T shirts for this moment! We took more than 40 pictures in the professional studio but we had to pick just one.. and had to pay more if we want to keep all the pictures in the little book which is extremly tiny..so I had to zoom a lot with our Digital camera! when we had to give up other precious photos, my hearts was full of tears... I didn't know it could be that much expensive! Also I didn't like their make up, so I removed them all and I did by myself with my make up bag. Make up artiest made me like Asian American style..like so~~~ old fashion!! She didn't know how to put make up with Asians..!!! So I don't want to call her Make up Artist!! I seriously wanted to ask her which make up art school she graduated! I don't think she did I think she is just one of workers there who just do make up like her way, and her make up on her face didn't look like she is a make up artist (you know like MAC&BOBBIE BROWN workers). Anyway, We picked this one! ** We love this photo~

I can't wait....

Of course I can't wait to see our BOY but also I can't wait to back to my prepregnancy shape!
I know it's too early to think about .. but I really can't wait to lose all the pregnancy weight!
I want to wear cute skinny jeans .. and Abecrombie&fitch XS T-shirts that I used to wear ...
I really hope they fit later.. I hope I can wear them... It will be a while but I am going to do it!
I want to be skinnier than my prepregnancy body I used to have. 95~100pounds is my goal!
I want to have my Korean weight that I used to have in Korea. I just can't wait to be physically active! I want to work out so bad... I want to run.. I want to go to the gym.. I just can'twait!!

Alex's Halloween Event!

We had a unique Halloween Day!

Nobody~~ knocked our door for Candy&Chocolate! ^^

So Alex had to finish all of sweets by himself I know he wouldn't mind~

But I don't want to get temtation ~ so I made him to bring his work!

Alex made such a cute&romantic ROSE pumpkim for me!

I loved it!! **

Eat! Eat! Eat!

I had an appointment today with a Doctor to check up, Doctor told me;

DOC: You haven't gained any weights past few weeks. Only gained 10pounds so far.

ME: I don't know why, I eat normal, 3 meals and I even eat snacks between every 3 meals. I even had lots of chocolates, cakes and cookies.

DOC: Um... Try to eat more... Normaly people gain weight about 25 pounds..but you've only gained 10 pounds. Try to gain 12 pounds more.

ME: Wow! That much???

DOC: Yes..so EAT EAT EAT! OKAY??? FOR BABY!!! OKAY???

Okay... but I don't know how should I do?? I eat 3 meals perfectly with Snacks.I love fruits so my snacks between meals usually fruits and I drink lots of milk. Since Alex bought lots of cookies, chocolates, cheese cakes for Halloween(Kind of his excues for buying sweets), I even had more snacks past few weeks. And our boy is very healthy~! Maybe I don't eat a lot like when I eat Korean food?? I just can't overeat because my belly gets really tight when I eat too much.. and I get stomache too. So I eat right amount of food with lots of fruits and Milk. I think I am fine. I still have 4~5 weeks. So maybe I have chance to gain more weight!

My eating .. normally - this is my eating mostly everyday. When Alex and I like to eat out, we like to have Subway Sandwich or Japanese food.

Breakfast (4:35am with Alex): Crereal (Alex loves Special K, and I love Cheerios), Banana or toast or Natto with Rice with Japanese miso soup - One of them.

And go back to sleep again ^^;(but past few days I am trying not to go back to sleep)

Lunch(11am ~ 1pm): I eat something with Rice, or Seafood Spaggetti, or Fried rice or noodles

Yoga(DVD) for 30 min; around 2 to 2:30pm before Alex comes home from Work. (If I did mornign walk that day for 40min~one hour, I don't to yoga after Lunch because I think walking 30~40 min / twice a day (mor&night) is enough so skip yoga.)

Snack: Yogurt (I love Dan Active), Fruits, or Chocolate chip cookies (few bites because it's too sweet I can't finish whole) with one glass of milk.

Dinner(6pm on time): Something with Rice.. I cook.

And....

Night walk....Around 30 min. It depends on Alex..(Alex thinks Walking is boring haha)

Streching / short yoga before going to bed.

If I am hungry at night I love to eat baby tomatos!! So delicious! or Banana

I can't fine any thing wrong with my meals so let's see!

The day is Coming!

I couldn't ignore this delicious Cheese Cake!!

Yes..Everybody knows Jasmine loves Fruits!!

(Specially Kate..she knows I love fruits!)

34 Weeks... I am getting nervous haha but can't wait to meet our boy!

My belly is huge.. but possibly will be growing more till due day.

126pounds so far.. I have to eat healthy and don't gain too much weight.

Sometimes pregnancy overweight can cause many side effects later.

(according to books//)

Every Korean website says last month needs to be careful.

because very easy to gain weight suddenly(mostly large number of weight gain last month if you are not careful what you are eating)

But anyway, sometimes I can't control haha

but I am trying to have a good shape for the natural birth..and want to eat healthy food.

I walk a lot and do workout/yoga dvds..but I can't help gaining weight specially butts and thighs.

I know I know I am pregnant but I am still having hard time to see those things haha

Anyway my baby is healthy that's all matters!
