The Bwun

Meet my baby, the Bwun (it sounds like one). He arrived February 23, 2009 and is the cutest baby alive.

You want to know why he’s called the Bwun? I took a Korean 101 class a few semesters ago. On a quiz, I couldn’t remember the word for “word”…seriously…so I guessed. The Romgi, my husband, laughed and told me that “bwun” isn’t anything close to a real word in Korean. But, it makes a good nickname!

I love him more than I love any of the products on this page. But I wouldn’t mind it if you bought these things for him.

What? You just want to see the Bwun?

We're both kind of tired.

The hat helps disguise his misshapen head.

So, so fabulous the Romgi and Bwun.

Ready to go home!

Everyone is doing well. We like the Bwun so much that we’re thinking of keeping him. Huzzah for babies! Huzzah for the Bwun!

Almost there

Since we now have less than 2 weeks until my merciful doctor is going to induce me, the Romgi and I are trying to get our house as ready as we can for the Bwun – and for not having time to do anything else. So yesterday we (mostly the Romgi) painted the nursery.

We saw an episode of some cool show on HGTV a while ago where this masterful painter/decorator/designer guy transformed a basement room into an underwater playroom. It was amazingly awesome; he painted the walls several colors of blue, with the darkest at the bottom, and blended the colors as they progressed up so that it looked like being underwater. Super-ultra-great. Our room was based on that idea – only, instead of water, it’s outer space, or the sky…whichever…the ceiling and top of the walls are the darkest blue, and it goes down to a sky-ish blue. The Romgi did an expert job of blending the colors together. I think it looks fabulous.

What do you think?

I was too impatient to move things, I just wanted a picture!

Incomplete, but incredible.

There’s still some touchup work to be done, and then the rest of the furniture (on the other side of the room) needs to be moved back, and there’s no mattress in that crib…but for the most part, we now have an awesome nursery to bring the Bwun home to.

Hooray! Now if I can just have the Bwun!
