Sunday, today, was the moms' lunch. We met in Myeong-dong and had late lunch at Seven Springs. We had a great turn out -- I think there were 12 adults and 2 babies. It was really nice to exchange information, stories, and support...and eat of course! It's nice to know that there's a number of other expat moms out there who I can call up if I need to later on. And later later on, we'll probably be able to have playdates with our babies.

The lunch was great, but it was also really great and refreshing to get out of the house. Myeong-dong was busy, but today I was totally able to deal with it. I went to Kosney and bought a baby book and a few baby scrapbooking stickers I found, and bought a few makeup products at Innisfree. I can't believe how long it's been since I've been out shopping! Being cooped up indoors sucks, but I think I've saved a bundle of money as a result...I used to love strolling around Myeong-dong making a purchase here and a purchase there. Anyway, today I spent some money on myself for a change and it felt good.So another quiet evening tonight. I'm pretty tired from today's outing, actually. I'll probably work on my newest project tonight, Braidy. I'm making Sejin a scarf because I realized that I've never actually finished anything for him and it'll be good to take a break from baby projects. The braid in the scarf, though, is pretty intense...more intense than I thought it would be. Luckily the pattern only calls for two braids, one at each end. I'll probably throw a few extra in for kicks, because it looks cool.
I recently finished Baby It's Cold Outside. Not so sure about crocheting anymore. Great for doilies, not so great for garments. We'll see next year how useful the cardigan is.

It was lovely to meet you! Hopefully we can get together again after baby comes but this time with the husbands! I hope you get some rest!
Cheers!
You've got me wanting to get out my knitting needles. I'm going to pick them up during our visit back in the States. I was going to buy yarn there but do you have a source in Korea. Hubby isn't too keen on a suitcase full of yarn. Wait until he sees all the American food I'm bringing back! Ha!
Sarah: You too! It's great to meet other new moms and dads!
Becky: Yes, there is Dongdaemun Shopping Town: Dongdaemun st. exit 9 - huge white building on immediate left. Yarn wholesalers in the basement -- yarn as far as the eye can see. You'll be overwhelmed that first time!
