This appointment took longer than I had thought it would be &#8211; I think we got out of the hospital 90m later (after registering and taking a slight detour to the nursery).<\/p>\n<p>A few days prior, S had been debating on whether we should find out what the sex of the baby is &#8211; so, before we got settled, I told the radiology tech that we didn&#8217;t want to know the sex&#8230;right? Right. So when time came to explore &#8220;the area&#8221;, she asked us to close our eyes \/ look away from the screen. Fortunately, she says that she didn&#8217;t &#8220;fight&#8221; to find out since we didn&#8217;t want to know. <\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, peanut&#8217;s got 4 chambers in the heart, a spinal cord, 2 arms, 2 hands, a total of 10 fingers, 2 legs, 2 feet, a total of 10 toes (&#038; other stuff they&#8217;re supposed to have, I&#8217;m sure), approximately weighing in at 9 ounces and is looking good. The MD commented on what a &#8220;beautiful profile&#8221; peanut has! (We couldn&#8217;t get a clear view of the brain because Peanut&#8217;s head is\/was right below my belly button and the tech poked and prodded but Peanut wouldn&#8217;t budge &#8211; rather, there was leg movement and what looked like a &#8220;don&#8217;t-bug-me&#8221; punch.)<\/p>\n<p>Pix from the photo shoot are posted on S&#8217; blog <a href=\"http:\/\/www.plutinosoft.com\/blog\/?p=100\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>Incense, Inside &#038; Home<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The rest of the weekend wasn&#8217;t so&#8230;joyous. S &#038; I had our 2nd funeral in 3 weeks. My aunt&#8217;s father had passed away. I hadn&#8217;t been to a &#8220;traditional&#8221; chinese funeral in a while, so the customs\/rituals that I had witnessed left an impression on me. The burning of the incense, the bowing, the tea, money and oranges placed near the casket for the journey into the afterlife.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday night, we saw the latest Spike Lee movie, The Inside Man &#8211; which wasn&#8217;t too bad.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday, we started off the day with having brunch with Bill and Niki &#8211; whom we haven&#8217;t seen in a while &#8211; at <a href=\"http:\/\/home-sf.com\/market\/index.shtml\">Home<\/a>. We chatted about poker, their wedding plans and our baby plans over pancakes, eggs, bloody marys, mimosas and water. Then S &#038; I were off to IKEA. We&#8217;ve got goals to remodel the kitchen, so we went to check out the possibilities. (Consumer reports ranked IKEA kitchen cabinets pretty high.) We also checked out the cribs &#8211; I&#8217;m not completely sold on the IKEA crib &#8211; but I must say that they are a LOT cheaper than the ones we&#8217;ve seen at Lullaby Lane.<\/p>\n<p>And here we are again&#8230;Monday.
