Happy birthday, Stephanie!

Google video blogging.

In the future, everyone will be seen doing Numa Numa for 15 minutes.

I would kill for a California roll... -drools-

Or some really great salmon with Russian caviar in onion rice.

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!

You obviously haven't been by recently.

::ponders:: You were wearing a bunny suit recently? And I missed it?!? I hope there were pictures.

Burrell, are you feeling better?

Better, but not well. Unfortunately I am now well enough to grade.

I'm determined, come hell and/or high water, to have sushi before the end of the month. Even if we have to do it as take out, it will happen.

This is so me. Last time, I made DH go get me sushi take out that first week we were home. Luckily, there is a place nearby that is both good and relatively reasonable in price.

When my sister was pregnant, her doctor told her to give up sushi not only when pregnant, but also when she was nursing. Is that overkill?

eta: I am glad you are better, Burrell, and hope the well comes PDQ.

I hope there were pictures.

There is often pink, sometimes suits, and were bunnies.

It's close, right?

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!

So glad I don't like sushi and didn't have the withdrawl you all seem to have.

Likewise. Though if I ever reproduce again, I'm going to have to watch salt and caffeine a lot more now that I know bp is an issue, so no more pregnancy where the only thing I really miss is the occasional glass of wine. Well, that and the mad cravings for foods only found thousands of miles away, but I get those even non-pregnant. Just not as obsessively. But if anyone wants to pay my airfare to get Alabama barbecue, a cheesesteak and water ice from Philly, and a big greasy plate of the chips at the chippy near my boss's place in Bristol, I won't say no.

Stephanie, I say, go to the spa. Have fun. Go wild. Do something you would never ever ever do but secretly wish you would.

When my sister was pregnant, her doctor told her to give up sushi not only when pregnant, but also when she was nursing. Is that overkill?

From everything we've been told, including by the lactation nurses, your sister's doctor was on crack.

The problems with it in pregnancy, as I've been told, above and beyond the usual limiting of seafoods for mercury issues, have to do with nasty things that can pass through the placenta. Same thing with cold cuts.

Once you're placenta-free, however, sushi, cold cuts, soft cheeses, and rare meat are all back on the table.

When my sister was pregnant, her doctor told her to give up sushi not only when pregnant, but also when she was nursing. Is that overkill?

My OB is Japanese. He thinks avoiding sushi while pregnant is overkill, so I say it's a-okay to eat while nursing.

Don't worry, Plei. We will figure out a way for you to have sushi. If Pete & I have to bring it to you, we will.
