I met up with Nita and some of her friends- who all turned out to be Japanese to have ramen for lunch. It was a blast to be around all Japanese speakers for a few hours.

Yuki Matsuri Day 1 Sapporo 02.06.14

Mom and I arrived in Sapporo last night. We had a layover in Tokyo where they told us it was possible we wouldn't be able to land in Sapporo due to poor weather/snowy conditions. I'm so glad we had a smooth landing! By the time we arrived at the Sapporo train station there was a nice snow falling. Our hotel is only a block from the station, but we didn't realize it was so close, so we took a taxi. I was stoked to find out we could have wi-fi in our room for free! (Japan still isn't a wi-fi friendly country, so I wasn't expecting to be online for a few days). It also appears that there is free wifi around Odori Park. But it's so cold I can barely take pictures with my gloves on, let alone try to text! This morning wept on all our layers and headed over to Odori Park. Our hotel is 3 blocks from the park. It turns out the park is 12 blocks long! We walked around in the cold for roughly 3 hours. Some of the sculptures were covered in snow from last night, but th...

Gestational Diabetes

Pregnancy is not easy. I envy those who "loved" being pregnant and those who tell me, "just enjoy it." I have enjoyed maybe 2 weeks of this entire process (I'm at 32 weeks now). Thanks to Kaiser and their preventative medicine, I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes (GD) at 15 weeks. Just when I finally stopped feeling nauseous all the time and wanted to eat again, I had to completely change my diet. 25 weeks is a LONG time to be on the "Diabetes Diet" when you're pregnant and already limited in what you can (should) eat. By week 30, I was starting on 6 units of insulin at night before bedtime. I felt like a complete failure. Even though I know it was my body that failed me and there was nothing I could do about it, it was still awful. Basically, my body can't control my sugar over night so I was waking up with a higher sugar level than I should. The insulin controls that. Now in addition to the Diabetes Diet, I was looking at ...

Part 4: Crocodile Dundy

After our hike down the escarpment we went further south to our friend Murray's "croc farm." Murray is a Zimbabwean-Azungu, friend of Brittni's. I'll spare the gory details, but lets just say, it doesn't end well for the crocs. Though, they are treated well for their 3 years of life... We saw 3 different sizes of crocs. The babies were just 6 months old and about a foot long. We got to hold them. I was way too chicken to pick them up, but Britt and Murray did. I just held one for the pictures. We then saw the 3 year olds which were soon to be "conditioned" (think: hair conditioner), they were several feet long. Too strong though for a grown man to tackle one on his own. Looking into the pen at night and taking pictures was cool, all we saw were red/green/yellow eyeballs. CREEPY! Last, we saw the "breeders" which were about 6 years old. Soon they will be breeding and laying eggs. They will burry their eggs, then Murray and his crew come in a...
