Chillin', Thai Society/Culture

Bovine 911

Last night, Nam, Max, and I saw something I’ve been expecting to see ever since I came to Thailand. We had finished dinner at a restaurant just down the road…

    Baby Mina! (with photos)

    December 7, 2009 /

    Everything went well! We have a new baby girl… Her name is Mina (??), pronounced mee-na. Unfortunately, almost no one in Nam’s family has the courage/skills to hold a baby, which means I am caring for Min and Nam while they take care of Max. Oh, well. Baby Mina is strong. Baby Mina likes being held. Baby Mina is already suckling. Daddy is going to upload a series of photos representing the first few hours with Mina via EDGE-enabled mobile phone, so it may take a while…

    Excited

    December 5, 2009 /

    I ran around doing errands all day after waking up fairly late – Nam got up early to do something and she’s off doing something again. I’d protest that it’s better for her to lay around and get rest, but everybody deals with this kind of stress in different ways. We are excited, and happy, and anxious. Tomorrow is a big day. The C-section is scheduled for 9 am. I plan to watch. Max will be with his babysitter, and later at grandma’s house with his aunt. I will be caregiver for a week or so, in between teaching what few classes I have this week (there are holidays on…

    34 hours and counting

    We are officially scheduled to arrive at the private hospital behind SermThai department store at 8:00 on Sunday morning. We went to check out everything in person tonight and take over some documents from Nam’s OBGYN. I have been informed that I can watch the caesarian if I so desire… I’m still thinking about that one. A small mountain of luggage has been prepared for the few days to a week stay we are planning on; I’ll load it in the car tomorrow. We went to the clinic today for a final checkup and it seems the baby may be a big one… If head size is any indication, perhaps…

    Alas, Netvibes Wasabi is not Opera-compliant

    December 1, 2009 /

    In older news, Chrome is the new Firefox, Firefox is the new IE, IE is dead dead dead, Netscape is the old Mosaic, and Opera is still Opera. Oh, and Safari isn’t as good as Chrome. * I’m currently using mainly Chrome on my laptop, FF on my desktops (I’m addicted to too many extensions and have invested too much time on tweaks/shortcuts/optimizations to give it up, but it’s too slow on my portables), and Opera as a secondary on both, but am finding too many sites designed to hate Opera…
