Jacob's Hundredth Day

Today was Jacob Buzzard's 100th Day ceremony. According to Korean culture, you celebrate when your child reaches this milestone. A party is thrown with gifts of gold rings and bracelets given to the child (as an investment, since gold never loses value).

We had to maintain quiet about the pregnancy because, well, Koreans like to "talk." Taylor says there is a lot of gossip and since EJ's dad is the pastor of the church her mom attends, word may spread quickly. We don't have anything against anyone, we just want to keep the news mum for now.

After the 100th Day ceremony, we went to Woodfield Mall, where Taylor purchased a maternity bra at Mimi Maternity. Her first pregnancy purchase. Tim and I exchanged thoughts about where I am in the pregnancy world and how he felt at the same time. It is nice to know someone who just went through the same thing. EJ is there for Taylor to relate to, as is her sister. Plus, they are good resources to get baby supplies they never used!

And tomorrow is the big Doctor's appointment! Next update soon!
